Minister

161【Ten Years of Jiankang】

It was spring, and Wei Chi suddenly missed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and after being ridiculed by Qi Yuan, he became more and more greedy.Dear, Baidu search eye & fast, read a lot of novels for free.After much deliberation, I was bored, so I deliberately went to see Mei Yue.Mei Yue was quite frightened this time, but luckily she only endured hunger for a few days, and after a month she slowly recovered.It's just because of the big change this time, he couldn't accept Wei Chi's change from the master next door to his own master for a while, so he hid when he saw Wei Chi.Qi Yuan was also a little embarrassed. She wanted to send her home, but Mei Yue didn't want to. She cried so much that her nose was covered with 1 wishes to stay.Wei Chi then followed her wishes to keep her at the house, but the girl still avoided him and talked less and less.

In fact, Wei Chi was also a little embarrassed, and this embarrassment was almost everywhere.

To Chen Hu, to Yiqing, to Zhu'er...

It's just that Zhu'er and herself have some conflicts, Chen Hu is honest, Yiqing knows how to measure, and he can hold on to it.

To Meiyue...

It's really hard for Wei Chi to ignore her undisguised, or undisguised gap.

Even if she didn't want to use it, she knew that Mei Yue must be hiding in her room. Wei Chi arched his fingers, paused, and thought for a while before knocking on the door.

"Hey..." The inside responded weakly.

Wei Chi pushed open the door carefully, Mei Yue thought it was Zhu'er who came back, but unexpectedly it was Wei Chi who came in, so she screamed in fright.

"What are you yelling about!" Wei Chi was annoyed at seeing her startled.

"...Old...Master." Mei Yue put down her needlework and bowed tremblingly.

Wei Chi sighed: "...Well, you've taken care of yourself too, and you just happened to go out with me for a stroll today."

Mei Yue obviously didn't want to go, although she was grateful to Wei Chi for saving her back and knew that Wei Chi was a good person, but...but when she thought about how her wife became his wife for no reason, she felt ashamed and embarrassed at the same time. timid.

"Madam said she wants to eat pastries, you can accompany me to buy some." Wei Chi didn't want to discuss with her: "Clean up, let's go."

Mei Yue stood still, looking down at her shoe uppers.

"..."

Wei Chi was a little depressed: "Why, are you still thinking about your Master Feng?"

"No!" Mei Yue shouted quickly: "...I...I..."

"What me?" Wei Chi snorted angrily: "Why do you say I owe you? I saved you once, but I have to save you a second time. After I bring you back, I take good care of you, and then I have to pay you back." Look at your face."

Mei Yue didn't understand what Wei Chi was teasing, tears streaming down her face: "Master... I... I... I don't hate you, but I don't know why, I just feel unhappy."

Unexpectedly, Mei Yue would cry, Wei Chi panicked, and quickly closed the door: "Don't cry, don't cry! Oh..." Wei Chi didn't know how to take care of others. When he wiped Mei Yue's face with a handkerchief, he just Like wiping the table.

Mei Yue was embarrassed to resist, and grinned in pain.

"Master...I actually don't like the old master. As long as my wife is good, I...I..." Mei Yue choked up a bit: "I'm just feeling a little unhappy, and it will be fine after a while."

Unhappiness... Yes, Zhu'er, Chen Hu, and Yiqing are all somewhat unhappy. Wei Chi is surrounded by these unhappiness, and he himself is also very unhappy.Although the wish was fulfilled and satisfied, it was not as comfortable as other newlyweds.It's all right if you don't leave the room, and you still feel a little guilty when you meet anyone when you go out.

"But we can't make Madam unhappy, can we?" Wei Chi patted Mei Yue's head: "Madam has suffered so much, no matter how unhappy we ourselves are, we can't make her unhappy! What about you, hiding every day I don't see anyone, and I don't see my wife, what does the woman think in her heart?"

"I……"

"You said it will be a while, how long has it been?" Wei Chi twisted Mei Yue's face: "You are the most important person in front of Madam, and Madam only wanted me to find you when she was safe. It's really annoying to not go to comfort Madam when she's safe and stay in hiding for a while!"

"Master..." Mei Yue stirred the handkerchief: "I... I know I was wrong, I will go to see Madam right now."

"Are you going to see me empty-handed?" Wei Chi grabbed Mei Yue by the collar: "Come with me to go shopping."

In the end, Wei Chi pushed Mei Yue out the door.

The capital city in April was already covered with green wicker, and the floating catkins made Wei Chi sneezed several times.

The busiest street in the capital is not too far from the Wei Mansion, it takes only a quarter of an hour by car.Wei Chi originally invited Chen Hu to come for a stroll, but Chen Hu smirked and got back into the car.

"Master is really thick-skinned..." Mei Yue muttered.

"Why am I thick-skinned?" Wei Chi smiled angrily.

"Chen Hu doesn't want to go shopping with the master?"

"Why? Didn't you go shopping with me before?"

"Master is too stupid. I used to be a servant girl of Feng's residence. If any of the neighbors still remember, the three of us only gossip when we go together."

Wei Chi rolled his eyes angrily: "What are you talking about so heartlessly? Then go shopping alone, I'm going there!"

Self-righteous bastard maid!Do you still think of yourself as a character?It also invites people to gossip!I am married to a Ming media, who am I inviting to gossip?After all, I still can't go out!snort!

Mei Yue thought that Wei Chi was really angry, so she hurried to catch up: "Master, master."

"Don't call me master, I'm not your master." Wei Chi shook off Mei Yue and turned left again.

"Hey! Master, why don't you listen to persuasion!" Mei Yue stomped her feet angrily: "The servant is not thinking of you."

"For my sake?" Wei Chi turned his head and pinched the girl's face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "The biggest gossip is you! You're always thinking about it!"

"It's not my wrong thinking... I'm afraid that you will be taken away again, master..." Mei Yue said with a sad face, "If you didn't come to me, I thought you were dead too."

When the news of Feng Shixun's execution reached the Feng family, Mei Yue naturally knew about it. In fact, if the Feng family hadn't been in a mess because of this, and with the talent of his housekeeper, how could Wei Chi find Mei Yue so easily? The intact Meiyue?Everyone knew that Feng Shixun and Wei Chi were arrested together. Mei Yue thought that Wei Chi had also been executed together. The scare was so serious that the girl didn't even care about the life and death of herself and her wife.When the housekeeper sold her, she didn't say a word or resist, as if she had changed.

"Actually, the master is overthinking, so I didn't think about it. I'm just afraid...the master will be arrested again one day, then... what will the lady do? But the master is careless, which makes people worry. " Mei Yue showed the appearance of a little adult, and persuaded Wei Chi earnestly: "Of course I know that the master is good to the wife, but the master is too ostentatious..."

Wei Chi covered Mei Yue's mouth: "What brilliant ideas can you come up with with just your little head? And you, you are already stupid, so don't think so much, just eat and drink lightly. Master is a very powerful The people who are here will not die casually, don't worry about me, you just need to live as you like."

"Is the master really not going to die?" Mei Yue couldn't help turning red eyes when she thought of this word.

"No, master assures you, master will only die of old age."

Mei Yue laughed through tears.

Wei Chi took her hand and walked into the market. There were many people buying flowers and plants in spring, and many people squeezed past them holding bouquets.Holding Mei Yue's hand, thinking of her ridiculous worries just now, Wei Chi's embarrassment turned into a touch of emotion.Maybe in the first half of my life, I was too arrogant and didn't take other people's feelings into my heart, but now I have more concerns, although it can't help, it is still comfortable.

Maybe there was some embarrassment, whether it was Mei Yue, Chen Hu, Yi Qing, or Zhu Er.But this embarrassment should not be malicious, right?

On the side is a stall of deep-fried pastry, and the aroma wafts far away. The boss yelled enthusiastically: "It's fragrant and crispy, and it doesn't cost money if it's not crispy!" Seeing Mei Yue staring at his stall, the boss picked up one and greeted: " Little girl, would you like one? It doesn’t cost money if it’s not fragile!”

Mei Yue looked at Wei Chi embarrassedly, Wei Chi pouted: "Try it?"

The boss quickly pinched some crumbs for Mei Yue, and then looked at her obsequiously: "Is it crispy?"

Mei Yue ate seriously, then frowned: "...It's not very crispy..."

The boss was embarrassed for a moment, and the few people around the stall didn't expect that the little girl would be rude, so they couldn't help laughing.

"How could it not be crispy!" The boss also got more serious: "You have another bite!"

"Don't taste it, just have one, my girl is stupid, and the boss should not tell you." Wei Chi laughed until tears came out, and put a copper coin on the table.

The boss just smiled embarrassingly.

After walking a few steps, Mei Yue chewed the pastry and muttered, "It's really not very crispy, master, don't laugh, just try it if you don't believe me!"

Wei Chi ignored her and dragged her into a silk shop.

The owner of this store obviously recognized Wei Chi, and Mr. Wei greeted him one by one.Wei Chi is actually a person who likes all kinds of flowery clothes. She spends a lot of money in this store. Since spring is here again, she must come and have a look.

"You came just in time. I got several new horses here, just for people of your age!" The boss hurriedly asked the waiter to bring up a look: "This year, the weavers in Jiangnan have put new ideas into it. Look at the quality of this material. Dark Flower! It’s really beautiful and calm!”

Wei Chi is a "male" so he can only buy good-looking and steady ones, but he has to admit that the boss's vision is indeed unique. Wei Chi touched the material in his hand and nodded approvingly: "The girl's material today is very attractive. Let's go and see."

girl?The boss glanced at the little fat girl at the side——this is?

Can't figure out who this girl is from, and the boss is not too abrupt, thinking about looking at the high-end ones first?If this is a noble person, wouldn't it be offensive to lead him to see ordinary goods?

Mei Yue didn't expect to buy clothes for herself, she was so excited!Since she entered Feng's house, of course she wore the clothes that slaves should share. Only the second concubine's maids dressed up beautifully, and she was only envious... I didn't expect that I would have today.But when the material came up, Mei Yue was taken aback again: "Isn't this the material only Madam wears? I... I don't dare to ask for it."

The boss understood now, smiled, and ordered the buddy to change.Wei Chi waved his hand: "Just look at these materials."

Ouch!Master Wei actually bought such a good material for a maid, not to mention the boss, even the guys on the side are envious.

"Choose, choose, don't look at me." Wei Chi pushed Mei Yue.

Mei Yue was shy for a while, but still couldn't help but be moved, these materials are so beautiful, it doesn't matter which one she looks at, Mei Yue is full of enthusiasm: "This flower is beautiful... this." Mei Yue pointed to the material of peach blossoms.

"Okay! Let's take a look at the color."

There are six colors of this flower: light cyan, moon white, mouse gray, magenta, light yellow and pink.

As soon as Mei Yue saw the pink one, she couldn't move her eyes: "Master! I want this, this!"

But Wei Chi took a fancy to the mouse gray one: "Your skin color is not fair, and you look even darker in the pink one. It's better to buy this mouse gray one."

"No...I want the pink one." Mei Yue didn't want that grayish color.

"Stand over here and let me compare..." Wei Chi pulled Mei Yue over and compared with two pieces of cloth: "Look, it's not that pink is bad, it's because you don't lift pink."

"No, I want pink!" Mei Yue stomped her feet anxiously.

"No, rat gray is fine! You don't look good in pink."

The other customers in the store all turned their heads to see the little girl playing tricks. Wei Chi was yelled at by her, but he was still trying to persuade him: "...you really don't look good in pink..."

"Hey, isn't this Master Wei?"

"Boss Xiao?"

The person who came was Xiao Mingyue!Wei Chi greeted quickly: "It's been a long time."

"Who is this?"

"My maid."

Mei Yue was stunned by the woman in front of her, and looked at others in a daze, so Wei Chi had no choice but to poke her.

"hey-hey."

Mei Yue's smirk made Wei Chi feel very tired: "Can't even say hello?"

Xiao Mingyue thinks this little chubby girl is quite cute: "Don't blame her, I heard that you recently adopted a wife, I thought this was it."

How is it possible... Wei Chi murmured in his heart.

"In fact, pink is also very pretty. I think Master Wei will buy her pink ones!"

Mei Yue was so happy when she heard this, she looked at Wei Chi proudly, and went to take the measurement with the boss.

"Hey……"

"Hey!" Xiao Mingyue stopped Wei Chi: "Since I'm here to please others, naturally the other party's happiness shall prevail."

"Can!"

"Don't be so stubborn!" Xiao Mingyue smiled: "Speaking of which, I'm really worried about you. When I came in, I heard that my apprentice said that you took a concubine, and I was talking about your progress. I don't want to be like this. I see what you are like. To please your family."

Wei Chi took this joke seriously: "Speaking of it... how do I ask for it?"

Seeing Wei Chi's earnest and eager to learn, Xiao Mingyue couldn't help but want to joke: "...Well, from now on, come to Qujiangchi less and just focus on being good to others."

"Hey..." Wei Chi knew he had been teased, so he pretended to be angry and looked away.

"Seriously," Xiao Mingyue twisted Wei Chi's chin: "Don't look at your pretty face, you really fascinated many people! Otherwise, why would my apprentice tell me about your concubine?" Is it? Others have cried a lot for this."

Her apprentice Cheng Mulian?

"She hates me so much, I don't believe it!" Wei Chi still didn't care.

"Believe it or not..." Xiao Mingyue smiled meaningfully: "Since I already have someone I like, I don't want to come out and wander around. The tears of this woman are all resentment. I shed too much for you, yes To block your official luck."

"My lord!!! You have chosen!!!" Mei Yue happily ran over holding her pink material.

"Then go shopping slowly." Xiao Mingyue let go of Wei Chi's chin, and smiled at Meiyue: "Pink is the best for a girl your age, hurry up and make a skirt to wear."

Wei Chi looked at the pile of vulgar pink in Mei Yue's hand, and saw her rubbing the new material on her face, and sighed helplessly: "Check out."

At night, when Wei Chi went back to his study to sleep, he felt that Qi Yuan was in a better mood: "What? I'm very happy today."

"Why are you unhappy? You spent so much money to buy such good clothes for that girl Mei Yue, and this girl came here as soon as she came back, and yelled for a long time with cakes and clothes." Qi Yuan helped Wei Chi get the fur clothes out: "In the future Don't get used to her all the time."

"I'm not spoiling her, I'm spoiling you!" Wei Chi leaned over with a shy face: "In this yard, tell me whoever is disobedient and who is not responsive, and I will give them small shoes to wear! "

"Okay, okay!" Qi Yuan nodded Wei Chi's eyebrows: "The material of your little shoes is too expensive, wear them a few more times, I think your salary is not enough!"

After blowing out the lamp, Wei Chi moved out habitually, held Qi Yuan's hand, and closed his eyes when he felt comfortable.

Half asleep and half awake, Qi Yuan squeezed Wei Chi's hand.

"What's wrong?" Wei Chi raised his eyelids.

"Who is Boss Xiao?"

"Ok?"

"Mei Yue came back and told me that when you were buying fabrics, an extremely beautiful woman talked to you."

"Ah?" Wei Chi was terrified: "Mei Yue, you bastard!"

"Look, you are so anxious!" Qi Yuan really just asked casually: "Lie down quickly! You are so impatient! It's just that girl Mei Yue who nagged for a long time, saying that the woman is very close to you, forcing me to ask Clear, I will just ask you a few words casually."

"Uh..." Wei Chi touched the tip of his nose, and found it difficult to explain: "She is a luthier from Qujiangchi, the kind who sells her skills but not herself! I met the year I came to Beijing to catch the exam."

"Hey...why are you in a hurry." Qi Yuan patted her on the head angrily: "You are a girl, whether she is a performer or something else, what does it have to do with you...I just ask."

"No...you're jealous." Wei Chi was very serious.

Qi Yuan continued to pat her on the head: "Unfortunately not, I... I'm just curious about the place in Qujiangchi, what's it like? What's inside... what's inside?"

It turned out that this person was just curious about the brothel!

"Since you have been there, tell me about it?"

She is really just curious!

Wei Chi felt extremely disappointed: "I'm going to the Yamen tomorrow, I'm asleep."

"Hey! Tell me! You are stingy!"

"Don't tell me, if you want to know, go by yourself." Wei Chi wrapped the quilt tightly and pretended to sleep.

"..." Qi Yuan entangled her: "You let me go?"

The person in his arms moved, moved again, and finally Mr. Wei decided to show off his authority!With a pounce, Qi Yuan was pushed down: "Want to know? I'll let you know tonight!"

"Hey! You are going to the Yamen tomorrow!" Qi Yuan didn't want to really provoke her.

yamen?

"In order to prevent my wife from visiting brothels," Wei Chi licked the corner of his mouth, "I can't control the yamen anymore."

The morning of spring gradually dawned earlier, Wei Chi yawned several times after he clicked on the key, and then he yawned several times. Youcheng Zhang Jingzhong laughed at him: "Master Wei, did you go to bed late last night?"

Wei Chi blushed for a moment: "Maybe it's because I'm sleepy..."

"Wei..." Zhang Jingzhong was about to talk about family matters, when his book office suddenly ran in in a panic.

Seeing that the book office hesitated to speak, Zhang Jingzhong saluted Wei Chi apologetically and walked out.Wei Chi originally thought it was some housework, but Mr. Zhang never came back after he left.In the afternoon, he suddenly received an official transfer order from the Ministry of Officials, and Mr. Diaozhang went to Yunnan.

Master Zhang was not the only one who was suddenly transferred remotely on the same day, and they all had unusual relationships with the Taifu without exception.

People in the Manchu Dynasty felt strange, and everyone was guessing what would happen to the Tai Tuo.

On the second day, Xiang Fang was sent to Nanzhili, and the situation was basically clear.Wei Chi could smell Mr. Zhou's pride from being so far away from the cabinet.Tomorrow's sun seems to be coming out in a different direction... After two days of personnel changes, everyone from all parties has almost stood in line and made preparations.

Sitting in the yamen of Dali Temple, Wei Chi calmly closed the comprehensive volume—fortunate to have fought against the emperor himself twice, Wei Chi thought that things would never be so simple.

This matter does not seem to be a good thing.
