Chapter 137
Chaizi exposed
Ding Shi Ji bought a whole street of land by the river and built a row of small courtyards, some with one entrance and some with two entrances, for its employees to live in. Respectable chefs, stewards and others have their own independent courtyards.
, you can bring your family to live together, like the errand boys and handymen on the ground floor who are young and homeless, so seven or eight people are crowded into a courtyard.
In the current situation, the young man's parents died early. Although he was barely married, the young couple could raise a whole family. Xie Yutan asked them and his wife to share a wing with other young couples.
courtyard.
At the county magistrate's house, Meng Shaoheng called Meng Sufang from Xinglin Hall to see his sister.
Mrs. Lu was a little suspicious: "She is only two years older than you, can you trust her? It's not that I underestimate her, after all, she is that old and her experience is not up to par!"
With a smile in his eyes, Meng Shaoheng said: "Don't worry, mother. She is a disciple of Yaowang Valley, not a charlatan. When people learn medicine, the stack of medical books they have to memorize is higher than hers. If she can't read it, she will be confused."
No one in Waugh County can watch it either.”
After hearing this, Meng Sufang did not dare to neglect, picked up her small medicine box and came to the county magistrate's office.
Under the nervous gazes of Meng Renfu and Lu, she checked Meng Shaoqing's complexion, asked about her symptoms, checked her pulse with her left and right hands, and then stood up.
"Is it important?" Mrs. Lu quickly asked, and Meng Shaoqing looked at Meng Sufang with the same fear.
Meng Sufang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. The medicine needs to be taken every day and every month to take effect. Sanniang only took it once and she was just drowsy. Besides, she should have taken something that could buffer the effects of the medicine before, and now she is fine.
.Everyone can self-cleanse, so there is no need to prescribe medicine or diet. Eat more detoxifying foods, such as spinach, mung beans, etc., and she will get better by herself."
Lu and Meng Shaoheng were relieved.
Meng Shaoqing chuckled: "I said it's nothing, daddy and mommy, you guys are so nervous!"
"Have you ever taken anything to relieve the effects of medicine?" Lu asked.
Meng Shaoqing scratched her head: "The bandits gave us the same meal on the mountain. Later, the bandits gave Sister Ayun the antidote. She secretly gave me half of her own antidote."
Not really!
It was obviously Sister Ayun who had great supernatural powers and conjured up poison-avoiding pills for her to take, which made her wake up more often.
Sister Ayun is the most powerful!
Lu gave Meng Sufang a piece of gold leaf as a medical fee, and Meng Sufang accepted it without any excuse and left. After she left, Meng Shaoheng winked at Meng Renfu, and the father and son came outside the house.
Meng Renfu touched his beard with a stern fatherly look on his face: "What do you want to say?"
"Dad, didn't Aunt Yun say that they tied up the bandit leader and threw him into the mountains? Do you want to take someone to catch him?"
Meng Renfu immediately blew his beard and stared.
"Catch him back? Why did he catch him back? He was wasted food in prison, a whetstone was wasted in cutting him, and a rope was wasted in hanging him. Wouldn't it be nice to let him die on the mountain?"
Meng Shaoheng was stunned. Xia Ran didn't expect that his own father would have such a side. He said hesitantly: "But...but, he is the culprit after all..."
"Forget it!" Meng Renfu sighed, "That place is not my territory. If I take people there, I have to report to the Jiangzhou governor, and I will make things difficult for the old thief."
The governor of Jiangzhou, Du Jishi, had never dealt with Meng Renfu very well. It should be said that he did not deal with scholars from poor families. Although the Meng family in Bingzhou was a scholarly family, there were no rich people in their ancestors, and they did not have any rich people in the court.
When a person becomes an official, he has long been half-farming and half-educating.
Du Cishi was born in the Du family in Jingzhao, and his wife was from the Xue family in Hedong, sharing the fourth surname in Guanzhong. Although he was not as well-established as the fifth surname Qiwang, he also began to look down on the poor scholars who passed the imperial examination after the first emperor pushed for it.
Quwo is the county closest to Jiangzhou Prefecture. Originally, Governor Du wanted to leave this position to his nephew, so he stuffed a lot of money into the Ministry of Personnel. But at that time, I didn't know what the emperor was doing, and he had to go see the appointment of the Ministry of Personnel.
The clerk saw that both the governor of Jiangzhou and the new magistrate of Quwo County were named Du. After further inquiry, he found that they were the same family!
Quwo County is rich in land and has a water transport terminal. It is a big and profitable county. The emperor knew what was going on, so he just waved his pen and told the Du family's children to get out, and ordered the new scholar Meng Renfu to take office.
, which made Governor Du's nose crooked with anger.
Later, every time the county magistrate in Jiangzhou Prefecture went to the governor's office to make a year-end report, Meng Renfu would be made difficult by Governor Du for a while.
The last time he led troops to suppress bandits was because the bandits were indeed in Quwo County, but this time the bandits learned the lesson and moved their stronghold into the territory of Jiangzhou Prefecture!
"That guy surnamed Du wants to live in office and wait to die. If I go and steal people from his territory, our family will not be able to live in peace in the next few years!" Meng Renfu spat bitterly.
"Dad, then why don't you work hard!" Meng Shaoheng felt that his father was particularly easy to talk to today, and he also wanted to lighten the atmosphere, so he said hurriedly: "You work harder, squeeze him out, and become the governor yourself. Who dares to fight with you?"
Pretending to be a blessing?"
"Fuck you!" Meng Renfu laughed angrily at him. He flicked his sleeves and cursed with a smile: "How old are your father and I? We didn't win the first grade in the imperial examination. How can you compete with those big families?
Brat, I was never able to study in an academy back then! The environment you study in now is a hundred times better than mine, and I started writing with you so early! You don’t seek to make progress, you only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long!”
Meng Shaoheng was greatly embarrassed.
Why are you talking about reading again?
But yes, he has also deeply realized the importance of grades in the past few days. Among other things, if he had better grades in the year-end exam, the boys from the squire families in the academy would not laugh at him.
If he was an A-level student, then when his sister was kidnapped, those men should have come to report the news to him in a hurry, instead of making fun of him like a joke!
"Don't worry, Dad, I will study hard this year and strive to win the exam before I get the title, so that you and my mother can live a good life in the future."
Meng Renfu's eyes widened in surprise, as if he saw the sun rising in the west.
He didn't say anything, he just stared at Meng Shaoheng with wide eyes and said nothing.
Meng Shaoheng was so stared at that he could not help but whisper: "Dad, why are you looking like this! I am sincere!"
"Speaking of which, what stimulation did you receive?" Meng Renfu stroked his beard again and walked up and down in front of Meng Shaoheng.
"In my father's eyes, can I only say this because I was stimulated?" Meng Shaoheng was shocked. What's going on? Have a heart-to-heart talk with his father. His image is in the eyes of his own father.
Is it already like this?
"I don't know about you yet?" Meng Renfu sneered, "I heard from your mother that she gave you a lot of monthly money last year, but you couldn't hold it back if you had some spare money! The shopkeeper of Jinyutang said when you filed your tax return that you went to them two years ago
Then I got a hairpin, but I didn’t see your mother-in-law or your sister wearing it on her head. After all, who did you give it to?"
Meng Shaoheng was stunned.
Despite all the precautions, I still failed to prevent this one!
Dad, you are a county magistrate! If you can just send the chief clerk or the county magistrate to collect taxes, why do you go there yourself?
Under Meng Renfu's sharp gaze, Meng Shaoheng reluctantly lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "Give it to the Qiao family..."
"Did she accept it?" Meng Renfu thought thoughtfully, if the young lady of the Qiao family is not interested in her son, why would she accept it? She couldn't be motivated by wealth, but the young lady of the Qiao family is not that kind of person!
"No..." Meng Shaoheng's voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke. "I asked the maid who gave the gift to say that it was money paid by both Qingqing and me..."
Meng Renfu:......
You have to use a girl as an excuse to give gifts to your sweetheart??
He has never given birth to such a worthless son!!
