The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Looking at Meng Qingya who was also confused, Mrs. Meng felt cold in her heart: "Is your father lying? Did he raise a little one outside?"

"No, mother, don't worry, there seems to be a misunderstanding about this matter. The people from the Ministry of Etiquette were transferred, and my daughter just heard the news that the Ministry of Etiquette is recruiting people. Why don't you come over and ask, we will wait for father to come back and find out more .”

After finally settling the matter, the mother and daughter waited for a long time and finally waited for the slightly tipsy Master Meng.

"Father, I heard that many people from the Rites Department have been transferred away. Do you think the Rites Department is very short of people now and needs to recruit a few more people?"

"No," Mr. Meng waved his hand and said loudly: "The Minister of Rites is also here today. He made it clear that after the Hanlin Academy has completed the examination of the Hanlin Academy in two years, we will select a few more. We do not plan to select anyone in the next two years. Well, the Ministry of Etiquette doesn’t have much to do anyway.”

After hearing this, Meng Qingya sat down on the chair. What went wrong? Why did Qian Xiuxian enter the Ministry of Rites in the previous life?

Until she returned to Qian Mansion, she was still thinking hard and puzzled.

Suddenly, she remembered that in her previous life, Qian Xiuxian was good friends with Yue Zhiheng, the direct grandson of the Minister of Rites, because in the previous life, Master Meng wanted to be promoted, but after he went to Marquis Zhongyong to no avail, she heard that it was Qian Xiuxian who helped him later. The matchmaker Yue Zhiheng has risen by one level.

Seeing Qian Xiuxian who was visiting a friend, Meng Wenyao hurriedly stepped forward to inquire: "Husband, aren't you and Yue Zhiheng good friends? His grandfather is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Although he has been ill at home for a long time, in the Ministry of Rites He is still a well-deserved leader, you ask him to help pull the strings."

Qian Xiuxian changed out of his outer shirt, reached out and touched Meng Qingya's forehead, wondering: "You're not sick, why are you talking nonsense?"

"Husband, I am telling you seriously, how can I be talking nonsense." Meng Qingya stomped her feet angrily.

Seeing her angry look, Qian Xiuxian couldn't laugh or cry and said: "You also know that Yue Zhiheng is the direct grandson of the Minister of Rites. I know him, but he doesn't know me. Why do you think he and I are good friends."

"Don't you know him? Aren't you and him close friends?"

Faced with Qian Xiuxian's ghostly expression, Meng Qingya quickly realized that this was not the last life.

She smiled awkwardly and said: "I mean that my husband is talented and good at poetry and writing. If I know Yue Zhiheng, I will definitely make him a close friend. When the time comes, my transfer to the Ministry of Rites will not be a matter of course."

"Hmph, you have a good idea. I am the grandson of a minister, and I don't know how many people are fawning over him. Although your husband and I are handsome and elegant, but to be discouraged, he may not like me."

These sincere words made Meng Qingya feel very harsh. He went up and took Qian Xiuxian's arm and said: "You give it a try, just in case, who can say for sure about this person's fate, maybe you two will hit it off right away." Well, anyway, he is working in the Department of Etiquette and is very close to your Yamen. You watch him morning and night, and if you meet him, go up and say hello. Won't we gradually become friends with him?"

To be honest, literati are the most important people in character. Seeing Meng Qingya following the trend, Qian Xiuxian looked down on her very much. However, he couldn't stand Meng Qingya and kept talking, so he could only say perfunctorily: "Okay, if you see her in the future, just go and say hello. "

Yue Zhiheng, who was missed by the couple, was eating noodles in Meng Wenyao's new restaurant.

He was brought up by Yue Shangshu since he was a child, and he likes to understand the sentiments of the people. Naturally, he will not miss this newly opened noodle shop in the yamenkou.

The noodles were so delicious that he couldn't help but chat a few more words with the shopkeeper, Su He. Su He was a person who could talk to everyone, and soon the two of them became good friends who talked about everything.

The same was true in the previous life. With Su He's help, Yue Zhiheng and Qian Xiuxian naturally became good friends, and joining the Ministry of Etiquette happened naturally.

Now!

Under Meng Qingya's daily questioning, Qian Xiuxian had no choice but to secretly inquire about Yue Zhiheng's whereabouts and follow him into Meng Ji's noodle shop.

"It turns out to be Lord Yue, whom I have admired for a long time."

Yue Zhiheng, who was eating noodles, looked at the figure in front of him and couldn't think of it for a moment.

"you are?"

"Qian Xiuxian from the Hanlin Academy."

"What do you want from me?"

Yue Zhiheng has a profound background, and people are always looking for him to do things, so he doesn't waste time by talking around the bush, because he has to refuse them anyway.

"Ah, no, no."

When they met for the first time, how could he leave the awkward image of asking for help? Qian Xiuxian said calmly and generously: "I just happened to come here to eat noodles, and I bumped into Lord Yue and wanted to say hello."

In this case, Yue Zhiheng didn't say anything more and just said in a few polite words: "Please do as you please, Mr. Qian."

After finally finding an opportunity, how could Qian Xiuxian be so casual? He didn't really come to eat noodles.

He looked at Su He who looked like a shopkeeper and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I will pay Mr. Yue's bill."

Before Yue Zhiheng could refuse, Su He waved his hands first and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Qian. Mr. Yue has deposited money in the shop. He pays the monthly balance. Just pay yourself."

The first chance encounter ended awkwardly.

When Meng Wenyao heard Su He's return, she laughed so much that she almost spit out her tea. Qian Xiuxian actually took the initiative to strike up a conversation, and even stayed at Meng Ji's noodle shop every day, waiting to meet Yue Zhiheng.

For this stupid behavior, Qian Xiuxian was definitely not thinking of things from his previous generation, otherwise he would have better topics to talk to Yue Zhiheng.

Meng Qingya must have remembered that he and Yue Zhiheng were good friends and urged him to go and make friends with him. Unfortunately, unlike the way he made friends in his previous life, he couldn't even get a smile from Yue Zhiheng.

"Madam, your brother-in-law comes over every day and really wants to curry favor with Mr. Shangyue. Do you think we can help?"

"Don't don't."

In order to avoid exposing the quarrel between the two sisters in front of outsiders, Meng Wenyao explained: "This person is the most face-saving person. He has been fawning over Master Yue for so long, but there has been no progress. If we come forward to make peace, he will inevitably find out in the future. I feel ashamed, isn’t this a good intention but a bad thing?”

"Besides, Mr. Qian's sincerity is as great as gold and stone. Maybe one day he will really touch Mr. Yue. Isn't this friendship even more touching?"

"Yes, really?" Su He felt that Meng Wenyao didn't really think so. Ba Cheng didn't want to help his brother-in-law, but he was a shopkeeper and didn't care about his boss's personal affairs.

"Madam, do you still have any money left? I recently found a business opportunity..."

After talking about business matters for a while, Su He said goodbye and left.

Meng Wenyao got up and went to Rong'an Hall to greet her. Just as she was about to have dinner, she suddenly heard a message from outside that there was a letter from the Marquis.

There are two letters in total, one for the old lady and one for Meng Wenyao.

Meng Wenyao quickly opened her own letter and felt relieved when she saw that Huo Qingping was fine.
