Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Bai Ruozhu looked very calm, and Mrs. Du found out that Bai Zepei was Mr. Xie's favorite disciple, so she began to believe Bai Ruozhu's statement more and more.

Meng Liangsheng, the governor of Anxi Prefecture, is also the lord of Beiyu City. He is very influential in the northwest. The Du family also has some marriage relations with him, but they are not too close. Previously, the Du family asked Meng Liangsheng to recommend Mr. Du Zhongshu. , in fact, I just wanted to find an opportunity to establish a relationship with Meng Liangsheng, and at the same time, let the family children show their faces in front of Meng Liangsheng.

Unfortunately, from the time they found Mrs. Meng through their connections, and finally when Meng Liangsheng arranged for Mr. Xie to teach Du Zhongshu, the Du family had never even entered the city lord's palace, let alone met Meng Liangsheng.

As soon as the Bai Ruozhu brothers and sisters arrived in Beiyu City, they were going to visit the city lord's mansion. This made Mrs. Du jealous and nervous. At least she couldn't do anything to the Bai brothers and sisters at this time, otherwise she might offend the Meng family.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Du gritted her teeth and said: "Doctors are kind-hearted. If you can save the little girl but refuse to take action, it means that you have no ethics as a doctor."

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help laughing and said, "I have never thought of becoming a doctor, nor am I a serious doctor. What kindheartedness and benevolent skills you mentioned have nothing to do with me."

Du Zhongyong rolled his eyes and knitted his brows together. He hurriedly said to his mother, "Mom, forget it for today. Let's think of other solutions."

Mrs. Du could only give up. Du Zhongyong politely bowed to the two of them and said goodbye, then led his mother out.

After the two of them left, Bai Zepei and Bai Ruozhu returned to the inn room. Bai Zepei sighed helplessly and said, "You are very brave. You dare to say such things to scare people? Let's go to the city lord's mansion later. Can’t the Du family find out?”

Bai Ruozhu smiled proudly at her second brother and said, "Do I, your sister, look like the kind of person who would do something uncertain?"

Bai Zepei looked surprised and stared at his sister. After walking for a long time, he suddenly showed a look of surprise and said, "Is it because of the stunt you performed last time?"

"Second brother is really smart. He guessed it right away. You don't even have a chance to take the test. It's so boring." Bai Ruozhu muttered.

When Jiang Yichun sent her to the downstairs of the inn last night, he told her that Master Meng would invite them to meet at his residence. He just didn't want outsiders to know Bai Ruozhu's identity. Instead, he invited their brothers and sisters to come together and tell the public about Master Meng. I just want to meet Mr. Xie's favorite disciple, and I am very optimistic about young talents.

Bai Zepei started crying and laughing. It took him a long time to think of it, but he quickly showed dissatisfaction and asked: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? We should be better prepared. It's better to come in empty-handed, right?"

Bai Ruozhu's face was slightly red. She was busy looking in the mirror when she returned to the house last night. She felt so beautiful that she had forgotten about it. If she hadn't seen Mrs. Du, she would have forgotten it.

"You are just a student from a poor family. If you really want to bring big and small bags to the door, if someone sees it, you will say that we bribed Mr. Meng. Besides, Mr. Meng may not like the things we give. Why don't you just give some country snacks? I brought some dried fish before I went out, I'll just bring it over later," Bai Ruozhu said.

"Is it the kind of dried fish you gave everyone at brother's wedding banquet?" Bai Zepei has a really good memory.

Bai Ruozhu smiled at the second brother, "That's right, okay, second brother, please go back to the house and get ready. I have to put Dengdeng to sleep first. If someone from the Meng family comes later, it will be difficult to coax her. "

Bai Zepei nodded and went back to the room, changed into a pair of straight clothes with better material, and then started reading in the room without looking a little anxious.

Bai Ruozhu fed Dengdeng milk, coaxed him to sleep, and then went to change her clothes. Even if her best clothes might not be able to catch the eyes of the Meng family, they couldn't be too shabby or show lack of attention. .

After a while, the clerk came to tell me that there was someone downstairs asking to see him, saying he was the steward of the city lord's mansion.

Bai Ruozhu hugged Dengdeng and went out, asking her second brother to help carry the dried fish, and they went downstairs to meet the steward of Meng's house.

The steward was really impressive, and his clothes were made of better materials than Bai Zepei's best clothes, but he was not a scholar and couldn't wear a straight jacket.

"Mr. Bai, Miss Bai, the city lord invites you." The steward said after saluting the two of them respectfully.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper of Linjiangju's eyes changed when he looked at Bai Zepei and Bai Ruozhu, thinking to himself that he hadn't neglected them in the past two days, had he? This is a distinguished guest.

Bai Zepei bowed to him in return, and the two of them followed him out and got into the carriage, heading towards the city lord's palace.

Soon the carriage drove into the City Lord's Mansion. After the carriage stopped, the Bai Ruozhu brother and sister were asked to get out of the car. They were asked to get out of the car by the steward and led to Master Meng's study.

Bai Ruozhu handed the steward a purse and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, steward. I would like to treat you to tea."

It was very common to give rewards at the gates of those big houses, so the steward accepted them without any courtesy. He touched it and found that there was almost half a tael of silver inside. He couldn't help but take another look at Bai Ruozhu, thinking to himself, isn't the Bai family an ordinary farmer's family? ? It can be seen that this Miss Bai is generous and has extraordinary bearing, and she looks like a female member of an official family.

Bai Ruozhu put the silver into her purse on the way. She originally thought it was a young man or a servant who came, but she put a silver lock in it. When she saw that it was a steward, she had to put more.

But she didn't expect Master Meng to attach so much importance to inviting them into the mansion for a meeting.

After entering the study, the two of them saw Meng Liangsheng drinking tea with someone. The person was wearing a mask, and he must be Jiang Yichun.

Meng Liangsheng looked close to fifty. He was not fat, but rather very tall. It can be imagined that he was also a martial arts practitioner. He turned to look at the Bai brothers and sisters, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, making people afraid to look directly at them.

They both saluted Meng Liangsheng, and Meng Liangsheng said with a smile: "No need to be polite, there are no outsiders here."

Sure enough, the door to the study room had been closed, which showed that Meng Liangsheng didn't want anyone to hear their conversation.

"Bai Zepei, Mr. Xie is full of praise for you. I have always been curious and wanted to meet you in person. Now when I see you, you are indeed calmer than the average young man." Meng Liangsheng looked at Bai Zepei with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

The eighteen-year-old scholar, who was also the head of the county's children's examination, was able to remain calm and calm in the face of the city lord, and he was neither humble nor overbearing. It was indeed not Mr. Xie's boast.

"My teacher taught me well." Bai Zepei said respectfully.

Meng Liangsheng couldn't help but laugh. Most people would be modest after hearing his praise, but Bai Zepei accepted it directly and said it was the credit of his husband. He was not pretentious, which was in line with his temper.
