marry a weak waist

The west building is foggy, the moon is hidden in the tip, the stars are scattered at a few points, and a lantern is flying around.During the beautiful night, the eloquence surrounding Meng Tiao's mouth is always cruel:

"I have something to tell you about Chun. I heard from my mother that since last year when my mother celebrated her birthday, Mei Qing met the county magistrate surnamed Liu in your county yamen, and she actually took him to heart. I think Well, since Mei Qing has this idea, there are twenty people, so she can't keep her. You rush to redeem that Feng Guanren, and if Mei Qing gets married, she can take over."

Meng Yu put down the grate, picked her up, and went all the way to the bunk, "Your adoptive sister is of course up to you and your mother, so I won't interrupt. It's just your mother." He laughed twice, "She is born in the eyes of Qian. Come out, then Liu Chaoru is a poor official, can she respond?"

"Although Liu Chaoru is poor, Mei Qing has saved a lot of money in this garden. It is her own business that she is willing to subsidize him."

Talking, Mengyu went into the shop, pulled the quilt on her chest, and smiled playfully, "I don't care about her nonsense, but I'm also a little curious, what does that Liu look like, and how did he seduce her?" think so?"

Meng Yu had already knelt down on the bed, made her smile, and couldn't help but hugged her neck and kissed, "Dong Mo came on the fifteenth day and invited him to accompany me. I'll have a banquet in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and you will hide in the flowers on the bank. Take a look inside, don't you know?"

Meng Tiao happily fell asleep, his eyes blinked, showing a childish brilliance.The light flickered twice, and then disappeared in the darkness after the lights were turned off.

Resuming the next day, time flies, Meng Yuxian is busy sending Pang Daren back to Tai'an Prefecture, and on the way they negotiated the matter of selling salt in Tai'an Prefecture.According to Zhou Xiang, Pang Da people found a few domestic slaves in Tai'an Prefecture to trade in name, and then found a few salt merchants to join forces. After preparations, he will transport the salt from this end.

The huge man was still a little scared, rubbing his knees in the carriage, "collusion between government and businessmen, smuggling and selling salt, this, if this is investigated by the court, it is a felony. In the past two years, there have been wars in several places, and the national treasury is tight. I'm afraid..."

Meng Yu straightened her body and casually flicked the ashes on her robe, "Who is enough for a year's salary from the imperial court? Officials from various provinces, who doesn't want to find a way to do some business? A huge man, he is afraid that he will not be able to make a fortune."

Seeing that the big man hung his head and said nothing, he squinted and smiled, "I heard that my lord drank too much wine yesterday, but have you had hangover soup? Is there anything you are not happy about now?"

The huge man picked his eyes in panic, and met his obscure smiling eyes.This meeting finally understands that this family, a seductress, a lure, and a threat, set up a trap to take advantage of him, making him a rogue.

He rolled his throat hard, and he had no choice but to abandon his timidity and cowardice and close his eyes and walk down the road.

It took two days to discuss the proper sale of salt, and it was the fifteenth day, the day Dong Mo made an appointment to visit.Waking up early in the morning, the twilight breaks through the windows, fluttering and sweeping the tents.Meng Tiao was awakened by a beam of light, lifted the curtain and saw that Meng Yu was wearing it from behind the folding screen.

Although autumn is here, the weather is still hot, he only wears a bright green Suluo straight body, and a square scarf on his head, to wash away the frivolity of the past, walk over with a gentle attitude, hang up the tent, and embrace the dream. Yu patted, "Anyway, you have nothing to do today, sleep more. You want to see what Liu Chaoru looks like. After the banquet is over, why don't you sneak over there. Don't let the surnamed Dong find out."

"Aren't you worried about me?" Meng Tiao, wearing light grass yellow pajamas, lazily turned over and rolled onto his lap.

Probably because of just waking up, some little daughter's charm twisted the sash around his waist charmingly, "Be careful at the table, don't ask Dong Mo to hold your tongue. I see things in the officialdom , you should talk less, we will meet for the first time today, let’s greet and exchange some household things.”

"How can there be three big men talking about family affairs?" Meng Yu supported her shoulder and smiled, "I invited a few ladies and gentlemen to play and sing in Luoying Lane, and it's over after talking and laughing. Anyway, I don't expect to curry favor with him now. What."

Mentioning this, Meng Yao sat up and asked, "You must remember the matter of redeeming Mrs. Feng Guan, if Mei Qing is really determined to marry someone, your mother will not be able to deal with your official dealings. I have to go to the top."

"Why do you use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?" Meng Yu twisted the tip of her pretty nose, got up and adjusted her clothes, "I went to the East Garden to watch them prepare the banquet, you can sleep for a while. I will ask you later The material brought from Nanjing is brought home, you collect it, and pick a few for your mother and Mei Qing to make clothes."

Where could Meng Tiao sleep? After he left, he asked the girl to come in to freshen up.

At noon, the material was delivered, and it was brought out by a large merchant in Jinan from the Jiangning Weaving Bureau, a total of 120 pieces.Mengtiao now picked out two bolts of feather gauze and satin to cut winter clothes, five each to give to her mother and Mei Qing, and two bolts to make clothes for Caiyi.Ask the housekeeper to collect the rest into the library.

The banquet in the East Garden was held, and Meng Tiao took advantage of the time to deliver the materials, secretly ran to the shore of the pavilion in the middle of the lake, hid behind a few tulip trees and looked into the pavilion.

At the banquet, there was a courtesan who accompanied me with music, men and women sat side by side, and Meng Yu picked out Dong Mo's figure at a glance.He was wearing a peacock blue round-neck robe and a Confucian scarf, and he was sideways.

Sitting next to him was a beautiful lady-in-waiting who was sifting wine for him, he blocked it with his hand, poured himself a glass without glancing at the ladyboy, raised his hand to Meng Yu, his gestures were very polite, but his expression was cold and serious.

It's completely different from talking to Mengyao.When he talked to Meng Tiao, although his words were sarcasm and his eyes kept aloof, he was always peaceful and never had an attitude of relying on power.

Unexpectedly, when he speaks on the scene, he always has a forceful meaning.Weidao officialdom called him a king of Hades.It turned out that he was different behind her back!

Meng Tiao rolled his eyelids behind the tree, bowed his back and looked at Liu Chaoru again.

That is a gentle and gentle gentleman, although his appearance is a bit unclear, just looking at his outline, he can also see his facial features.On the outside, it looks like she is somewhat compatible with Mei Qing, but she has a demeanor... Unknowingly, Meng Yu pulled the corners of her lips and smiled gloatingly, before turning her back.

The light and shadow on the bank flickered, causing Dong Mo to glance sideways. He saw the branches and leaves of a few tulip trees swaying a few times, and there was a slippery green shade, and then a crane walked out with its head held high.

There is a spring under the pavilion, gushing water, like the owner of the skirt humming.Dong Mo smiled, "I can't blame people for saying that Mrs. Meng's garden is the most beautiful place in Jinan. The scenery of lakes and mountains, the springs, and the exquisite jade are all in it, which is better than the scenery in the palace."

Meng Yu then looked back, and the crane was still pacing on the bank defiantly, so she smiled, "How dare you? Don't Master Dong's words like this insult me? There are many springs in Jinan. There are springs in every house and weeping willows in every house. It's nothing unusual. Jing Shi likes some wild things, and has raised some cranes, birds and fish, so she must have passed by just now and went to my sister's house."

Dong Mo made the calculations in his mind and made the calculations for him. The garden was repaired, at least it cost no less than [-] yuan.

He looked at Meng Yu, and said in a deliberate tone, "I heard that Mrs. Zun is the most beautiful woman in Jinan. It can be seen that Mr. Meng not only has a prosperous official career, but also has a wealth of wealth, and is also very lucky."

"It's not about being a successful official, it's just that other people have better luck." Meng Yu was not alarmed or panicked, showing some humility in reading, "Madam is just spreading gossip outside, in fact, Jingshi is not even considered a native of Jinan. , how can she be called the number one beauty in Jinan?"

Liu Chaoru sifted wine from both sides, and also came to joke, "Oh? Where is that lady from?"

"From Wuxi."

As soon as the words were finished, Meng Yu secretly looked at Dong Mo, and found that there seemed to be some sparkling waves in his eyes, which were shining with the sparkling lake light.

He is a man, so he can naturally guess what Dong Mo is thinking involuntarily at this moment. Although he hesitates and worries, he will fall into the trap set by him sooner or later.But he couldn't tell how happy he was, instead his heart felt a little empty, and the strings on the table were tuned softly, which pierced into his ears, which was a slight sense of melancholy.

The far shore is shallow, the building is half covered, and the remnants of the seats are gone in a flash, Meng Yu personally sends them out.On the road, golden osmanthus is fragrant, covered with plantains, and green trees are shaded.The three walked and talked.

When he reached the door, Dong Mo turned his head and bowed, "Master Meng, please wait. The tax is imminent, and Mr. Meng must be busy with official duties, so he dare not work again."

Meng Yu said politely: "The taxation matter is still being prepared in various states and counties. I won't be too busy for a while. I'm free."

Having said this, Dong Mo took advantage of the situation to make some suggestions, "I went to the chief secretary and looked at the tax revenue of Jinan in the past few years. The government is well managed."

Meng Yu secretly wondered if there was any deep meaning in his words, and responded calmly, "I dare not take credit, it's because of the hard work of the other government officials, Meng is just sitting on the merits of his predecessors and acting according to the regulations. There is nothing wrong with it, if there is, please let me know, so that all governments can follow it."

"I'm new here, so how dare I speak nonsense? My lord, go back, brother Shuwang and I will take our leave first."

Meng Yu asked about Liu Chaoru's carriage, but Liu Chaoru only said that they came together in Dong Mo's carriage and went back together.Meng Yu took a few more steps and looked straight at the two of them.

The carriage turned around, and Liu Chaoru held the curtain and slapped Meng Yu a few times. When he looked back, his smiling face became more meaningful, "See, Mr. Meng treats guests equally regardless of his official rank. , never put on airs. You see, he treats me as politely as he treats you. "

Dong Mo glanced at the curtain of the car, "Willing to put down his dignity and go to someone, it's strange that Mr. Meng has such connections in Shandong."

"Shandong? More than that..." Liu Chaoru smiled, lowered his waist for a moment, and put his elbows on his knees, "He has only been in Jinan for a few years, and he dares to tamper with the salt tax. How can it be just because of his audacity? You I just brought up the tax issue for no reason, are you afraid that he will be overwhelmed?"

Dong Mo lazily leaned against the wall of the car, "It's just that he needs to be careful. If you don't knock a pole on the grass in Jinan, who knows what kind of poisonous insects, rats and ants are there?"

The carriage swayed slowly, Liu Chaoru raised his waist and said nothing, smiled and watched the gleam in Dong Mo's eyes slowly closed.

Although Liu Chaoru had never asked about it, he could hear people talking about it. Dong Mo went to Jinan this time to rectify the salt tax in Jinan.

His self-interest seems to be a little embarrassing for this kind of justice and strictness.Liu Chaoru didn't think much of it in her heart, but she never mentioned it.

The author says:

Dong Mo: Meng'er, I almost ran into you that day, it wasn't Zhang Yinlian, it was you locked in a cage.

(Yes, you guessed right, brother Ping will have a bit of a hard life in the future.)
