Chapter 292: Plum Blossom Snow White Tea
Chapter 292 Plum Blossom Snow White Tea
Today is Chongyang. Every family climbs high and looks into the distance. After returning home, they are tired and rest early, so there are no pedestrians on the street after nightfall. In order not to attract attention, Meng Ermeng Xunli did not ride in the carriage, but covered his head with a cloak, hurried to Mengchunfang in the West City, and entered the private room directly from the back door.
Meng Er entered the private room and took off his cloak, smiled and said to the other side of the table, "It's late for the gift, Mr. Lao has been waiting for a long time."
Dali Temple Shaoqing Liu Shoucheng didn't show a smile on his face, and asked face to face, "Why did I hear that Yajiao disappeared after leaving the city, where is she now?"
Meng Er was surprised, "Who did your lord listen to? Yajiao was in the mansion, and when she was out of the mansion, I heard her playing the piano in the study."
Liu Shoucheng was puzzled, "Really?"
"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check on the mansion tomorrow. When I was on my way back from a high office today, the man in charge of the mansion counted the number of people and found that there was one less sloppy maidservant who was picky about food, so I sent someone to look around. I'm afraid there is someone Seeing that the steward was looking for someone, he became suspicious, and when it reached the ears of the adults, it was no longer the same, right?" Meng Xunli smiled bitterly.
Seeing that Meng Xunli didn't seem to be lying, Liu Shoucheng's dangling heart finally let go. The son cried in the house that Meng Yajiao ran away with the wild man. Liu Shoucheng sent someone to the Meng family to inquire and found that the Meng family was indeed looking for people. He believed it to be true and called Meng Xunli angrily to question him. Although it was a misunderstanding, it made him heave a sigh of relief, "It's true that something is wrong, so I can rest assured that Yajiao is okay."
Meng Xunli poured tea for Liu Shoucheng, "It's because the subordinate officials are not strict with the subordinates, that such gossip is made, and I have to make you work hard this time."
He said this, making Liu Shoucheng's face a little hot, and said ashamed, "As the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Liu is ashamed to listen and believe so much."
"Sir, if you are concerned, you will be confused." Meng Xunli said gratefully, "If it weren't for this, how could such gossip blind you. In our Dali Temple, who does not know the fairness of your criminal trial review? The ancient emperors have praised you very much."
The corners of Liu Shoucheng's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He was praised by the late emperor as the most glorious moment in his more than ten years of official career.
Meng Xunli looked worried when he saw that Liu Shoucheng had been coaxed, he couldn't help but sighed and turned his teacup with his head down.
Who knew that Liu Shoucheng was still immersed in the memory of the late emperor's admiration for him, and did not pay attention to Meng Xunli's actions.
Meng Xunli had to sigh again, sigh again.
Liu Shoucheng returned to his senses and saw that Meng Xunli couldn't hide his sadness. He immediately knew that he was going to bring up Meng Xunzhen, who had been sentenced to be executed. He felt bored in his heart, but this time he took the initiative to find Meng Xunli. , then picked up other things, "The period of grinding is approaching. Yesterday, Master Xiao mentioned the achievements of officials in Dali Temple in the past three years and praised you."
Liu Shoucheng's meaning is very clear: you need to be knowledgeable, is it important for you to be promoted, or is it important for your dying brother?
Meng Xunli really hesitated for a moment, and said, "When I first entered the Dali Temple, I couldn't understand everything, and it is all thanks to your help, sir, that I am today."
Liu Shoucheng was satisfied, "This official is just a little bit of advice. You are smart and know how to make progress. You are the best of the eight commentaries at Dali Temple. Among the four divisions of Dali Temple, Hu Yuekun is the best."
Dali Temple's commentary was upgraded to one level, and he was the Dali Temple Sizhi. If Hu Yuekun is promoted, the vacated seat of the Secretary of Dali Temple will depend on your performance. If you perform well, it will be yours.
Meng Xunli heard this, how could he care about the waste Meng San, he immediately poured tea for Liu Shoucheng, served the best tea in Mengchunfang, and invited the most beautiful singer in the workshop to play the qin.
Hearing the Huyan Illustrated report that there was a loud noise in the private room of Mengchunfang, Jiang Erye leaned on the back of the chair, spread out the fan with a snap, and shook it gently.
Jiang Hou'er immediately pulled the table aside, lifted Er Ye's long legs on the soft stool, and took out the silk brocade soft-headed beauty hammer that he had prepared for a long time, and hammered his legs for Er Ye.
Jiang Bao hated Jiang Hou'er's dog-legged appearance the most, so he stepped forward and asked, "Second Master, they have started listening to Qu'er, is this the case?"
"No." Jiang Erye closed his fan and pointed to his thigh, Jiang Hou'er immediately moved the Beauty Hammer up and hammered it with moderate force. Jiang Erye lay down comfortably again, and said lazily, "If they are talking about Meng San, they must not have the heart to listen to Qu'er. Since they have started listening to Qu'er, that is..."
Jiang Bao couldn't hear the second master continue, so he couldn't help but curiously asked, "What is it, please let the second master make it clear."
Jiang Hou'er gave the idiot a blank look, and then said, "That is, Meng Er doesn't care about Meng San."
do not care? Jiang Bao was puzzled, "Didn't they marry the Meng family daughter into the Liu family to save Meng San? Why is it that they can't be saved, so will the Meng family daughter still marry?"
"No or no." Jiang Hou'er moved the beauty hammer from the second master's left leg to the right leg, "Meng Er insisted on marrying the Meng family daughter into the Liu family, apparently for Meng San, but in fact for his own sake. The future. The second master grew up watching Meng Er, and no one knows better than the second master how ruthless Meng Er is, right second master?"
Jiang Erye nodded, "If Boss Meng was in Kang'an, maybe he would really get angry for Meng San. But Meng Er won't. In Meng Er's eyes, Meng San is a burden."
Huyantu couldn't help but say, "Then how does he explain to his family?"
"A man's mouth, a liar. Master will sleep for a while, and then wake him up when Liu Shoucheng comes out." Jiang Erye stretched, yawned and closed his eyes.
Liu Shoucheng was happy until midnight in Mengchunfang, when he was sent to the carriage by Meng Xunli and set off for his home. When passing by Guangdefang, Liu Shoucheng heard laughter, lifted the curtain and saw Jiang Feng standing in front of Jingzhao Mansion, talking to the watchman.
Liu Shoucheng ordered someone to lift the curtain of the car and said with a smile, "It's late at night, but Mr. Jiang is still patrolling the street. He is so diligent in serving the public. It really makes me ashamed."
"honest and honest service" is a plaque given to Jiang Erye by Emperor Jinghe. Jiang Erye bowed his hands and saluted, "Master Liu, who is dedicated to the people, is an example for the lower officials to follow."
"One-hearted for the people" is a compliment from the late emperor to Liu Shoucheng. Liu Shoucheng listened to this sentence the most. He and Jiang Erye looked at each other and smiled very sincerely, "This official just got a good cup of tea."
Jiang Erye immediately answered, "Then next time Xiaguan goes to Dali Temple, he will definitely ask for a cup to try, sir, don't be reluctant."
"If other people come, this official is really reluctant, but when the exile comes, this official will serve you with good tea and water." Liu Shoucheng laughed out loud.
"Xiaguan still has a jar of plum blossom snow water that has been in it for five years. I don't know if it is worthy of a good tea as an adult?" Jiang Erye said with a smile.
"Plum blossom snow water white ball tea is a perfect match." Talking to Jiang Feng was so effortless and comfortable, Liu Shoucheng couldn't hold back the smile on his lips after he lowered the car curtain. No wonder Wanzai likes him, who doesn't like a person who is so pleasing to the eye?
The steward of Liu's house, who was following the car, sighed, "In the past midnight, if you wanted to see the most beautiful man in Kang'an City, you could only go to the flower building or the painting boat in Qingping River to find it. Whoever wanted to turn the New Year, he was on duty all night in an official robe. Xicheng, you really should be impressed by Shibei three days."
Liu Shoucheng snorted, "Stupid. If Jiang Feng is on duty, he should be at the Ma Si Yamen in Xicheng. He appeared at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion in the middle of the night and has nothing to do with the duty."
"Please make it clear, sir."
"He made a special trip to wait for the official to let the official know that every move of the Meng family is under his control." Liu Shoucheng said with emotion, "After Jiang Mian died, Jiang Song couldn't bear to support the Jiang family. Everyone wants to step on the Jiang family. Who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, Jiang Feng, who has a terrible reputation, would stand up."
Meng Huizhou faces Jiang Mian, Ping; Meng Huizhou faces Jiang Song, Meng Huizhou wins; Meng Huizhou faces Jiang Feng, a hypocrite faces a real villain, Meng Huizhou will definitely lose.
Meng Huizhou can't do it anymore, who can compete with Jiang Feng for male and female from the Meng family?
Meng Xunli? Liu Shoucheng snorted disdainfully.
