The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

When Situ Meng saw the person coming in from the outside with the guards, he was taken aback immediately, because he was not unfamiliar with this person at all, after all, they had just met each other a few days ago.

Seeing this person, Situ Meng couldn't help but think of the basket of garlic and the basket of salted duck eggs, and his brain throbbed sorely.

"How could it be you?" Situ Meng asked helplessly.

"Hehe, it seems that the prince is as happy as the official! After receiving the imperial decree from the emperor, knowing that he will come to Xuzhou Mansion to be promoted to governor, and cooperate with the prince to handle the serious case of private salt, the official is also very happy! I don’t know what to do next. The souvenir that the official gave to the prince before, does the prince like it?

Although I left Jining County, those local specialties are hard to find, but it doesn’t matter, I’ve heard about it a long time ago, the Xuzhou turtle juice dog meat and green square fermented bean curd are also very good, when I get familiar with this Xuzhou thing In the future, I must prepare more for the prince! "The visitor said with a smile on his face.

But it turned out that the newly appointed governor of Xuzhou by the emperor was Ning Lixin, the magistrate of Jining who Situ Meng had just met in Jining before. Like the former governor of Xuzhou, he encountered so many troubles.

Although different people have different ways and means of dealing with problems, but with his informality, he can pull down his face at any time and mingle with people of any class, which is obviously better than the slightly noble and pretentious Xuzhou Governor It is better to mix in the officialdom.

Having said that, he still has the support of the emperor behind him, which makes the Ministry of Code Officials dare not falsify during the official assessment, let alone send someone to deliberately grab credit.

Moreover, since this Ning Lixin has long been the emperor's favorite person, then give him a little support in the court and give a little hint to the officials of the official department. Oppressed by aristocratic families and local tyrants, it is reasonable for him to make some achievements with his own ability.

"You are hiding it really deep! No wonder you dare to give me such an ingenious and unique gift!" Situ Meng said through gritted teeth.

"Don't the prince like it? They are all the favorites of the officials! The local people have made a fortune by planting these cash crops on a large scale and making local specialties! Otherwise, why would Jining County use it?" In just three years, it has become one of the top wealthy places in the country!" Ning Lixin said here, with a bit of pride in his tone.

"All right, all right, don't talk about what's available!" Seeing his playful smile, Situ Meng felt a little headache. He really didn't know why the emperor sent such a cynical guy over to help.

"Mengmeng, do you know the new governor of Xuzhou?" Lin Tian suddenly said from the side.

"Well, he is the former Jining county magistrate!" Situ Meng said a little depressed.

"It turned out to be him!" Lin Tian's face showed a look of surprise, and then he asked: "I heard that Jining County is a special method for pickling salted duck eggs that was developed by you, and it took less than three years. In that time, you got rid of the hat of a poor county? The duck eggs made there, the egg whites are salty but not sour, and the yolks are golden and oily, can be sold at a high price of one tael of silver in the capital!"

"Ah! If this young man is talking about Jining golden eggs, then they are indeed our specialties, but the price we sell them for is only ten renminbi. I didn't expect that the value in Dao Capital would be a hundred times higher! "Ning Lixin said with some surprise.

"It looks like it's really you!"

Lin Tian also looked at the person in front of her in surprise. She couldn't have imagined that in this era of advocating gentlemen to stay away from the kitchen, there are actually officials who would spend their time researching and making delicious food besides Su Dongpo. It was really hard for her to accept such a handsome young literati.

Seeing Ning Lixin chatting and laughing with Lin Tian, ​​Situ Meng immediately sank his face and said with a straight face:

"Lord Ning, since you have arrived, you should hurry up and start working! The officials, large and small, in the Xuzhou Mansion are all being held in prisons. There has been no one in charge of the Xuzhou Mansion for two days. Not a lot, it all depends on you!

By the way, by the way, not only officials, but even government servants and servants are also suppressed in the prison. If you need manpower, you can ask the imperial forest army at the door for some guards to help! "

"Eh..." Hearing what Situ Meng said suddenly, even Ning Lixin, who was well-versed in everything, was a little dumbfounded.

What does it mean that officials, officials, and servants are all detained in prisons? With him coming to Xuzhou Mansion this time to take office, he is really a polished commander!There is no one available except yourself?

Although Situ Meng said that he could call the Imperial Forest Army at the gate if necessary, the problem is that those are all the bodyguards of the loyal Prince Situ Meng. As a servant of the yamen servant, order him around casually!

Thinking of this, Ning Lixin's original handsome face suddenly wrinkled, and the smile on his face suddenly turned into a cloud of sorrow.

'snort!Make you play!Letting you seduce Xiao Tiantian, what a big deal!Isn't it just a few years older than me, taller, and looks more mature and attractive!Waiting for the young master to grow up for a few years, he will definitely be more handsome and unrestrained than you! '

Situ Meng looked at Ning Lixin with resentment, and absolutely refused to admit that he said that on purpose, because when he saw that Lin Tian was quite interested in him, he knocked over the jar of old vinegar.

"Your Majesty! The emperor asked the subordinate to come to the Xuzhou mansion immediately to take over the position of governor, but he didn't say that all the other people here were sent to prison by you! Otherwise, how dare the subordinate be in such a hurry alone Come here! No matter what, you have to bring the three masters, five servants, and eighteen classes of yamen servants!"

Ning Lixin glanced at Situ Meng with his small resentful eyes, and then said with a bit of sadness: "My lord, you are too unkind! Let's deal with all the things in this huge Xuzhou mansion!

Even if the subordinates are sleepless, they can barely deal with it, but there must be people running errands below!Those guards of yours are all from the capital city, so they are probably blind to the personnel, venues, etc. in the Xuzhou mansion. "

"Ouch..." Now not only Situ Meng couldn't bear it anymore, but even Lin Tian was irritated by the former Jining magistrate who liked to be funny. However, this familiar way of making complaints reminded her of her previous life Those comrades who fought side by side with him, their favorability for him rose gradually.

"Well, I have some useful people under my command. In the past few days, they have already learned about everything inside and outside Xuzhou Mansion. I will lend you a few of them for the time being, and you will let you use the three you are used to as soon as possible." A master, five servants, and the [-]th class of yamen servants all come here!

Don't be afraid that there is no place to place them, as long as they do well these few days, there are many vacancies for eighth-rank, ninth-rank and other small officials in Xuzhou Mansion!Don't you think so?cute? " Lin Tian said to Situ Meng with a smile.

"Ah?" After hearing Lin Tian's words, Situ Meng was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that he originally wanted to make things difficult for Ning Lixin, but it turned out to be self-defeating.

These problems not only didn't bother him, but made Lin Tian feel better about him, and even offered to help him, which has never happened before!

In the past, except for Lin Ruhai and his fiancé, Lin Tian was indifferent to everyone. Even the members of the Death Squad under him were in awe and kindness to her. There has never been someone like Ning Lixin. ah!

Suddenly, a sense of crisis burst out of Situ Meng's heart.His mind became much clearer all of a sudden, and his IQ increased even more. A friendly smile suddenly appeared on his originally gloomy face, and he first said to Lin Tian:

"Xiaotian, your people still have to protect you! Besides, it's not convenient for them to cooperate with Lord Fu Yin! After all, they are all your personal guards, and, have you forgotten? You borrowed them all before Let me investigate the case! Don't worry, I will help Mr. Ning solve the problem here, and he will definitely be very satisfied!"

After finishing speaking, Situ Meng suddenly yelled outside, and within a short while, the two guard commanders in charge of the Imperial Forest Army and the elite Tongzhou camp all appeared in the hall.

"Lord Ning, you see, you need to deal with the affairs of this Xuzhou mansion, what kind of talents do you need! Don't be polite, just say it generously, I believe that the elite soldiers from the Imperial Forest Army or the Tongzhou Camp are all smart and capable You will definitely be able to find talents who meet all your requirements!

Besides, even if one is not enough, then find a few more and make up for the quality with quantity! "Situ Meng said while looking at Ning Lixin with a smile.

And the two guard commanders were obviously good people, and before Ning Lixin could speak, they had already started patting their chests and wrapping them up.

"Lord Ning, don't worry, if you have any requirements, just ask, we promise to find the best talents for you, and you will never be disappointed!" The leader of the Imperial Forest Army said proudly first.

"Master Ning, you can safely and boldly make requests. Our subordinates are absolutely prohibited by orders. If you let them go east, they will never dare to go west. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed! If you are afraid of the people we have chosen If it doesn’t meet your requirements, why not go to the camp with us and choose it yourself!” Another leader from the Tongzhou camp said without hesitation.

Ning Lixin looked at the two of them trying hard to recommend their subordinates to him, he was in a daze for a moment, and thought: "When did the people from the Imperial Forest Army be so enthusiastic and generous, so easy to talk about!" '

What he didn't know was that when Xiao Chengzi went to call these two people just now, he told them Situ Meng's death order, telling them to fully cooperate with Ning Lixin in starting work, and absolutely keeping him busy From now on, don't have a little time to bother 'Mr. Lin', who is their princess.

"You two, you are..." Ning Lixin looked at the two who had just picked him up and ran outside after saying a few words. He didn't know what to say. He had already left the hall and arrived at the place where the guards rested together.
