Chapter Seventy-Seven: Meet Again
Gu Gecheng Fuyuan Inn.
When Meng Xing was a little free, he found that everyone else had left, and Wang Junzhi was still waiting for him.
The two spoke behind closed doors.
A few days ago, Meng Xing had asked him about the situation in Xunyang County, and Wang Junzhi told him:
"I also went to look for you before I went north, but your family moved away, and I don't know where to go. I went to ask Wang Xianzun and I don't know where you have been, Wang Xianzun is also unclear about your whereabouts, very hesitant, and now I know that you went to a place outside the world and encountered that kind of sinister situation! ”
Before Meng Xinger went to Xuanyou Mountain, he asked Hu Feiluan to take the whole family to avoid trouble, and he didn't know where they went, but now he is famous, as if he has a layer of talisman, he is not afraid of being resurrected by Xuanyou Mountain knowing that he is dead, the only worry is that Xuanyou Mountain is making trouble with his family.
Meng Xing has already written a book, if Hu Feiluan shows up with his family, ask Wang Xianzun to help protect the family.
However, the carriage is too slow, and the letters are difficult to transmit, and if the heroic spirit is shaped, these problems can be easily solved.
Needless to say, Wang Junzhi is waiting for him today to go to the Wu family in Google City with Meng Xing, that is, Wu Lin's hometown who presided over the Jinke Township test in Nanyang County.
Wu Lin is not only a member of the three grades of the imperial court, but also the chief examiner who takes them as the lifter, and takes them on the list, which is their lifelong mentor, so reasonable, passing by Wu Lin's hometown, even if Wu Lin is not at home, they have to go to the door to meet and give a generous gift, otherwise others will say that they are ungrateful.
Therefore, when he came to Qinghe County, Meng Xing and Wang Junzhi could not do anything else, and the first thing was to go to Wu Lin's hometown.
Since it is a visit, it is natural to prepare gifts.
Wang Junzhi's face suddenly turned pale, and he asked in a low voice:
"How much is Brother Meng going to spend on gifts?"
It's like a leader's birthday, and a colleague asks you how much red envelope you are going to pack.
Meng Xing naturally asked:
"How much are you going to spend?"
"I really don't hide it from Brother Meng, when I came out, my mother was sick, my wife gave birth, and I was ...... at home I don't have much money left, and this time I'm going to spend about fifty taels. ”
“……”
Wang Junzhi's original family conditions were not good, but he turned over in the exam, got a lot of knots, and made a windfall.
Of course, the expenses are also large, and the income from the sealing of the field is not much for a while, and it is normal for him to not have much cash.
Fifty taels is about 50,000 to 80,000 yuan of purchasing power, which is relatively shabby for a lifter, and Wang Junzhi feels that he can't take it.
Fifty taels ......
They are all people from a county, and the relationship is not bad, Meng Xing didn't want to embarrass him in this regard, so he said:
"I don't have much silver, so I spend fifty taels."
Wang Junzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The teacher is a faction of the Qinghe Party, and they all say that they are honest and honest, not greedy, if I have the ability, I should have prepared more silver as a thank you gift." ”
Meng Xing listened to his words, and remembered Zhang Tielin, the famous Qingtian lord in Purple Mountain City, that goods were also from the Qinghe Party, and someone else would send five hundred taels if he did a shameless thing...... Not everyone in the Qinghe Party is incorruptible.
But there is no need to say these words to Wang Junzhi, this angry young man may not believe it.
The two discussed the gift money, and then went out to buy, and then went to Wu Lin's mansion with the gift.
I had inquired about the address of Wu Lin's house in advance, and I asked all the way to the destination, and when I got to the place, there was a lot of traffic at the door, and the incense car Baojun stopped outside the door.
It turned out that the Wu Mansion was holding a banquet.
Meng Xing and Wang Junzhi looked at each other, and at a glance, they were all well-dressed dignitaries, and the gifts they brought were very expensive at a glance, which made the big red box in the hands of the two look shabby.
Wang Junzhi was already a little timid and regretted, feeling that today was not the right time.
The housekeeper at the door learned that the two were Wu Lin's people in Nanyang County, so he saved face when he reported it, and shouted:
"Nanyang County student Wang Junzhi, a gift box!"
"Meng Xing, a student from Nanyang County, a gift box!"
When they heard Meng Xing's name, many people turned their heads to look at it and discussed:
"With a mask, but Meng Xing Meng Sanyuan who changed the "Book of Daughters"?"
"Hey, that's really a coincidence, the two geniuses who changed the "Book of Daughters" have arrived today!"
"Today is the birthday of Master Wu, and if the people of Nanyang County have arrived, they should come to visit."
Today is a good thing for the Wu family, although everyone was surprised by Meng Xing, but these guests did not come up to watch and talk, but just talked about themselves.
Meng Xing and Wang Junzhi entered the inner room under the guidance and first went to meet the birthday boy Master Wu.
Master Wu was very happy to see Meng Xing, just because it was his son Wu Lin who ordered this Xie Yuan, and now Meng Xing is already famous, and with Wu Lin's relationship, he also feels that his face is bright.
Master Wu originally wanted to talk to Meng Xing about changing the word, but today was his birthday banquet, and there were many visitors, so he could only encourage a few words first:
"Sanyuan, you and Junzhi will stay in the mansion tonight, and it will be more lively."
“…… Be. ”
Meng Xing and Wang Junzhi couldn't refuse, and then the two were ushered into a hall.
In this hall, you can see a lot of old knowledge.
Liu Xian, Cheng Shuhao and other people from Nanyang County were naturally in the list, but Xu Xian was also on the side, and he was still sitting at the head of a table.
Liu Xian and the others were there, and it was still reasonable, Xu Xian came to visit, and said the same thing, but Meng Xing didn't expect that Wang Junhong, Wang Junyan and Master Eagle were also present, which made him suspicious.
When these people saw Meng Xing coming in, their eyes widened, and they suddenly stopped talking.
The whole hall seemed to be silent.
Wang Junzhi already felt his scalp tingle.
Everyone stared, Meng Xing laughed dryly, and broke the deadlock:
"What a coincidence."
Xu Xian nodded gracefully: "Brother Meng has also arrived." ”
"Is Brother Xu also a person under the teacher's order?"
"That's not it, it's because Wu Xuezheng is highly respected and is also a member of the literary world in Qinghe County, so he sent the revised version of "The Book of Daughters" for his guidance." Xu Xianyi pointed out: "Today is just in time for Wu Xuezheng's birthday, and I have a cheeky banquet." ”
It turned out that the publicity roadshow was coming, and it must have been deliberately chosen to come to the door at this time, Meng Xing nodded:
"That's a coincidence...... I don't know if the words I changed in Brother Xu's revised version of "The Book of Daughters" have changed? ”
"......" Before Xu Xian could speak, the people around him glared at Meng Xing angrily.
Xu Xian's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Brother Meng has changed it very well, Xu Mou admires it very much, and this version of Brother Meng's words is also on it." ”
"Brother Xu's change is not bad, I deeply agree."
Xu Xian's eyes burned when he heard this: "Is Brother Meng telling the truth?" ”
"Of course."
Meng Xing looked at Wang Junhong on the side again, and said with a smile:
"Miss Junhong, I didn't expect to meet here, we are really fateful."
Wang Junhong said lightly: "This trip I want to go to Beiliang, and I happen to have a large section of the same road with you in the north, and it is common to meet you." ”
Although her attitude was indifferent, she had already told Meng Xing her purpose and itinerary.
Meng Xing understood, looked at Yan Cang, who was like a messenger protecting flowers, and said meaningfully:
"So you were going to the Eagle Master's Mansion...... Although this Yan Gongzi has a strange appearance and is a little handsome, after all, not all of them are from my clan, and the eldest lady has to think clearly. ”
“……”
After all, this sentence is not all from my clan, it really makes Yan Cang break the defense!
He hated others to call him a "mongrel" the most in his life! Especially in front of Wang Junhong!
This bad ghost scholar scolds people and doesn't spit dirty words, which has made him murderous!
Yan Cang said coldly: "Along the way to Changjing, I should meet Meng Juren again, I hope that Meng Ju's mouth will still be so clever by then." ”
Meng Xing smiled: "Brother Yan usually scares his rivals like this?" ”
When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar.
"......" Wang Junhong already glared at him fiercely: "If Brother Meng is so unscrupulous, don't blame Junhong for not being emotional!" ”
"Hah! I want to resolve the misunderstanding with the Wang family, is it the most sincere way to do so? ”
“……”
"The toad wants to eat swan meat!" Wang Junyan on the side said in a cold tone: "I advise you not to be delusional......"
"Now that my Meng Xing is famous all over the world, only the second lady says that I am a toad." Meng Xing smiled:
"But the second miss does have such qualifications, just because I do have a lot of light from the second miss."
“……”
Meng Xing looked at Yan Ze, the son of the Eagle Master, and said, "This is the eldest son of the Eagle Master's Mansion, when I see it today, he is really heroic." ”
The Eagle Master didn't expect this person to talk to him, but this person's words made him understand the meaning of this person, and he smiled kindly:
"Meng Juren praised it falsely, and Meng Juren changed it to normal, which is really a stroke of genius, which I admire."
"You're welcome."
The two flattered each other, and there was a tacit understanding that the enemy of an enemy was a friend, but they didn't say much.
Meng Xing finished playing a circle, and sat in another seat with Wang Junzhi, and there were also several people in the seat who were from Nanyang County, compared to Liu Xian and his party, his attitude towards Meng Xing was much better, and he sat with him, and there was some flattery.
Since then, people have changed the "Book of Daughters" to become famous, and they are small and transparent, and they feel that they are no longer on the same level as this person.
The crowd spoke, and there was some flattery:
"Brother Meng, are you in Brother Gucheng today?"
"Yes."
"I see, otherwise if you had come early, we would have heard the news, and we should have gone to you."
Meng Xing said with a smile: "When you go out, it would be great if you could meet fellow villagers, and you can take care of each other." ”
"Who's to say it's not?" One person at the same table said: "Let's just say that a few days ago, in a Fuyuan inn in the city, there was a scholar who came alone and suddenly died, and there was no one to help deal with the aftermath, which is really pitiful." ”
“…… Which Fuyuan Inn? ”
"It's the one in the east of the city."
Meng Xing and Wang Junzhi looked at each other when they heard this, no wonder they were moving in at that time, and they all rushed in, and they all lived in and had rooms.
The shopkeeper doesn't report it, profiteer!
I heard the man at the table continue: "There were rumors of death in that Fuyuan Inn a few years ago, but in the end, there was nothing abnormal in the investigation, and it was all over, I didn't want to have another accident a few days ago, and the murderer had not been caught, so it was said that there was an evil thing." ”
Wang Junzhi said: "There should be a heroic spirit of the imperial court in the city, and all the charms and spirits have to retreat...... The inn is still in business, as evidenced by this. ”
“…… What Brother Wang said is. ”
