Meng Xinghe did not expect that Mr. Lu would be so shocking as to remind him not to leave any trouble in his work. However, he thought that he could suppress this case for several months without hearing it. He knew that Mr. Lu was thinking about his son-in-law even though he was not talking about it. Although the old man was selfless outside, he could still help his relatives but not help others under special circumstances. Of course, Meng Xinghe couldn't refute the old man's kindness. Of course he knew how to do it in private. He just asked: "This Who submitted this document?" Meng Xinghe had already made up his mind to eradicate the root cause.
Of course, Mr. Lu was not idle. When he received this document, he sent someone to investigate. Although this was just a document submitted by an unknown person, after several months of investigation, he still had some clues. Now Meng When Xinghe asked, Mr. Lu didn't hide anything and said, "It's a distant relative of the Ma family, named Ma Ji, who asked someone to deliver it to the government office. This is his portrait. Take a look at it first." Mr. Lu took out a In the portrait, the man in the painting is nothing out of the ordinary. He is the kind of ordinary person who is embarrassed and has no distinguishing features.
Meng Xinghe put away the scroll and said, "I'm going down first."
Mr. Lu wanted to agree, but he immediately stopped him and said, "Don't leave yet. I still want to ask. I don't know why the Lord sent you down to the river this time."
"Returning home in rich clothes," Meng Xinghe smiled bitterly. This old man clearly knew what he was asking, but Meng Xinghe didn't know the meaning. After all, he was a person who had been in the court for a few days. How could he look down on his father-in-law when he asked this question?
Mr. Lu was very satisfied with Meng Xinghe's answer. He waved Meng Xinghe out without saying that the boy was teachable.
Master Meng left happily. After he left, Master Lu opened the drawer on the table and took out a picture of a lady's dressing up. He looked at the person above, his face was full of joy, he didn't say anything, he was just relieved. He smiled very happily. No one would have thought that an old man would smile stupidly at a portrait for more than ten years, and he was still willing to do so.
After leaving Mr. Lu's place, Meng Xinghe left the house directly and went to the next place to study.
Inside the provincial school, he found Dean Meng who was planting flowers and plants in the garden. Meng Xinghe stopped, stood outside the garden, coughed twice, and said, "Mr. Meng,"
Meng Xianhe glanced at Meng Xinghe who was standing outside the garden, feeling a little happy in his heart. At least this guy had become a high-ranking official and had not forgotten the words written on the sign outside. He put down the spatula in his hand and patted himself. of soil and said: "Come in,"
Meng Xinghe walked in and saw the large and small aloe veras planted in Dean Meng's garden. He joked: "Mr. Meng planted so many aloe veras, does he want to sell them to the students' workshops to make some extra money?"
Old Man Meng bargained and said, "How much can you pay?"
Meng Xinghe glanced at the green aloe vera: "One price, twenty taels of silver,"
"You are robbing me," Old Man Meng was not angry but smiled even more cheerfully.
Master Meng was very reasonable and said: "Forget it if you don't sell it. Anyway, I am the only one processing aloe vera in Jiangdu and even the Tang Dynasty. I am not in a hurry. I will wait slowly. One day, sir, there will be too much aloe vera in the garden and I want to deal with it." They will find me automatically, and then twenty taels of silver will feel too high for me."
Ordinary people would not vomit blood, or at least feel depressed when they hear this sentence, but Old Man Meng is just the opposite. He burst out laughing after hearing this: "It seems that you are not born to be an official. Now you are all ministers." "Not only do you have no official airs, but you plan carefully to get the money out of my pocket. Don't you know that you should avoid negotiating when you are an official?"
Master Meng fell asleep and said: "The teacher has never taught me this, so I never understand this principle."
Dean Meng wanted to find a stick to teach this student who had won the first prize in the exam, but suddenly he thought of something he had to ask, and said: "Before you go to Chang'an, I asked someone to bring you a letter. Can you bring it?" arrive,"
Meng Xinghe, who remembered that this was indeed the case, slapped his head and said: "I asked someone to check the address on the letter. No one lives there at all. They have moved away a long time ago."
Old Man Meng was a little disappointed: "Would you like to come and sit at my place?"
"Okay," Meng Xinghe nodded in agreement. Old Man Meng had already packed up the tools for planting flowers and plants and was leading the way.
The regretful old man Meng asked again: "You really sent someone to check,"
"Really," Meng Xinghe, who believed that the Blood Fiend members of the Dragon Gang were top-notch in their work, said firmly.
Old Man Meng continued to ask: "Then you know where that family moved," he said to himself, "No, logically they shouldn't move."
Meng Xinghe was helpless and said: "I don't know either. By the way, Mr. Meng, who is the person you are looking for? Tell me the name and maybe I can help you find him."
Mr. Meng sighed, not intending that Meng Xinghe could really help him, and said: "One is called Wei Ming and the other is Wei Rong. Even if you don't know them, it's been twenty years. If they are still alive, they will not move away from that place." local,”
Meng Xinghe remembered that the address in the letter from Old Meng asked him to go to Chang'an Osmanthus Square to find a house with two osmanthus trees in front of his door and hand the letter over to them. Now that he heard the names of the two people mentioned by Old Meng, Meng, who had a good memory, Xinghe can also remember Wei Ming, who was always following Li Shimin but had hidden murderous intent, and Wei Rong, the first goddess hunter in Chang'an. If the people Old Man Meng is looking for are the two of them, then Meng I already know Xinghe, and we are very familiar with him.
He coughed and said, "I don't know why sir wanted to find them."
Old Meng smiled stiffly and said, "It's okay."
Meng Xinghe didn't believe it and asked, "Could it be that you are also from Chang'an?" Meng Xinghe had a strong feeling in his heart that there must be an ulterior relationship between the old man Meng and the man named Wei.
After twenty years of living in a foreign land, Mr. Meng has long since passed the point of looking at the moon and sighing after leaving his hometown. He said, "Are you from Jiangdu?"
Meng Xinghe understood what he meant and didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said with a smile: "The student will definitely handle this matter for you when you go back this time. You must deliver the letter to that family."
Mr. Meng listened to these words in his heart and said: "Promise less and do more. After you finish my work, I will sell you 20 taels of aloe vera in my garden. Neither you nor I will suffer. What?" ,,”
"Yes, yes, it's fair to not suffer any loss." In front of these old foxes, Meng Xinghe's small losses were all taken advantage of.
As for the old man Meng, after Meng Xinghe nodded and spoke, he changed his previous dejection and laughed heartily, thinking about his memories and singing to himself.
"I advise you to drink more Chang'an wine, and one general will make thousands of bones wither."
