Meng Xinghe did not stay in Dongdu for long. After the Luoning Flood, Mr. Yu was busy with affairs. Meng Xinghe did not ask him to accompany him to review the political achievements of several other prefectures and counties in Dongdu in recent years. He spent a few days running around. After visiting most of the eastern capital, some minor and minor matters were resolved. Meng Xinghe only had a preliminary understanding of the tax and financial matters reported to the court by the counties. He accepted the tax copies handed over and then led his own team. Heading to the last stop of this trip to Jiangnan, which is also my hometown Jiangdu.
Aunt Yun and Mengdie are still following Master Meng. After all, he made an agreement with God Shi Luo that night. As long as he can find the Holy King of the Taiping Religion who has disappeared for nearly twenty years for God Shi Luo, then even if Meng Xinghe puts forward any conditions, Shi Luo Luo Shen would also agree, not to mention that he only took away two living people in the end, so it would be even easier.
The official ship had been sailing on the canal for three days and three nights. Meng Xinghe had already ordered it to slow down when it got off, because he knew that he would never know when he would be able to return to Jiangdu again.
I looked at the account books collected along the way for a while in the boat. They were all related to the land, household registration, trade economy, taxation, etc. in various states and counties in recent years. The account books were all made to first-class standards, and there was no trace of them at all. Why not? Meng Xinghe read the regulations for a while, then lost his temper and walked out of the room to get some fresh air.
When he came out, he saw a man on the front deck from a distance. He was wearing white plain clothes. His green silk hair was pulled back randomly, held down by a long green jade hairpin, and coiled on the back of his head. He looked like Like a black gold lotus, her hands were leaning on the carved wooden railings beside the deck, and she was fiddling with a long red rope on her wrist. She seemed to be worried about something, and her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned.
"What are you thinking about? Do you need to pout your mouth so high?" Meng Xinghe walked over, but did not reach out to pick up the woman, because there was a woman-to-be who would appear in the cabin at any time. Of course, he couldn't ignore Aunt Yun's Feel it, move your hands and feet, you have to do it in the dark at night.
Aunt Yun turned her head and looked at Meng Xinghe seriously.
"I'm leaving,"
She only said four words, as if she had exhausted all her strength.
This time, Meng Xinghe didn't have a playful smile: "Where to go,"
Aunt Yun didn't answer him, she just took off the red rope tied to her hand and tied it to Meng Xinghe's hand, "When the boat arrives in Jiangdu, I will leave you for a while. Die'er told me last night, In Jiangdu, you still have many unresolved matters. Now that you have settled all the good and bad things when you come back this time, don't leave any regrets in the future. This red rope is what I did in Dongdu. When you go to the Guanyin Temple to ask for it, wearing it will ensure your safety for the rest of your life."
Meng Xinghe touched the red rope and felt his nose was a little sore, but he still knew rationally that Aunt Yun must be doing something important this time. He took out the red rope that was originally tied to his wrist. When he came down, regardless of whether Aunt Yun agreed or not, he firmly tied it on Aunt Yun's wrist and said: "You can't come back yet,"
"I don't know," Aunt Yun lowered her head without retorting.
Meng Xinghe became angry all of a sudden. He looked like a completely different person. He roared like a tiger with an injured head: "Second brother, send the order immediately. All ships will stop moving immediately and will not go to Jiangdu. They will all return to Chang'an."
Meng Xinghe spoke clearly word by word. The group of people on the official ship following him who were laughing and chatting immediately stopped making any noise, and then all stared at Master Meng and the woman beside him. Mr. Chai With a gentle wave of his hand, Xue Rengui and Luo Feng were told to do as Meng Xinghe ordered.
Faced with Meng Xinghe's sudden decision, Aunt Yun showed a happy wry smile.
"Sail the boat, don't force me to jump into the canal again, or you will never find me in your life,"
Meng Xinghe said seriously, "Then I will dance with you. At worst, we will become a pair of ghost mandarin ducks." As he spoke, he had already hugged Aunt Yun around the waist. Aunt Yun's heart was like water from an ancient well, and she couldn't afford to make big waves. She also blushed slightly with her pretty face and hid in Meng Xinghe's chest. She was so charming and charming. This made Master Meng sigh with emotion. The beauties in ancient times were very attractive. Not to mention tall and tall, they were also very light and easy to be shy. They were comfortable to hold. , like holding a large bouquet of white roses.
However, this kind of comfortable thing is destined not to last long. The first person to escape from Meng Xinghe's clutches was Aunt Yun. She was afraid that Meng Xinghe's previous loud voice would attract Meng Xinghe in the cabin, so she asked Meng Xinghe to let her go. When he came down, he had something serious to say. Meng Xinghe did not dare to disobey, so he let go. Aunt Yun, who was not taken advantage of by this guy again, returned to normal and said: "If I don't come back in three months, you and Mengdie will go to the south together." Jiang is looking for me,”
Meng Xinghe didn't ask Aunt Yun what he was doing. He remained silent and didn't say anything.
Aunt Yun didn't explain too much. She said it was windy outside and went back to the cabin. Meng Xinghe came back to his senses and said wait, then took out a white jade bracelet from his arms. It was from Meng Xinghe when he went to Chang'an to take the exam last year. Meng Xinghe had no use for the bundle his mother stuffed into his baggage. Except for taking out a string of pearls for Xue Shiyu to cure smallpox, he kept the bundle under the box because it was left by the Meng family to their daughter-in-law. heirloom.
He unceremoniously put the white jade bracelet on Aunt Yun's snow-white wrist and put it together with the red rope.
"Okay, you can't escape in this life," Meng Xinghe laughed as if he was relieved.
Aunt Yun shook the bracelet on her hand. It was not priceless, not even comparable to the beautiful jade she wore before. But she felt that the best thing she had ever worn in her life was this worthless white jade bracelet. , and Meng Xinghe's success in cultivation impressed Aunt Yun once, which made her smile as brightly as a flower, and she was a little happy. She turned her back to Meng Xinghe, stepped on the steps lightly, and held the hand tightly with both hands. The white jade bracelet tiptoed back to the cabin like a young girl receiving a token of love.
Good boy, Aunt Yun also has such a girlish posture. She is definitely the first person in her life to appreciate Aunt Yun's appearance. Meng Xinghe slapped the railing fiercely, and then heard a certain adult curse in an uncivilized manner, "Fuck," My hand hurt, so I went back to the cabin with a smile and continued to read the account book.
After another day of traveling by water, we finally arrived at the dock of Jiangdu. I recalled that a few months ago, he said goodbye to Lu Ning and Mengdie and went to Chang'an to take the imperial examination. Now, only a few months later, he has become what others call a big shot who has returned home in glory. .
The official ship docked at the pier, and a group of people, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, stepped off the ship. The moment they stepped onto Jiangdu Pier, Mr. Meng sighed slightly: "We're home," and then he took every step under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes around him. Go to the city,
