Joy of Life: The Mei Family's Son Grows Up

Chapter 82 Princess Roujia
Mei Chengan rolled his eyes speechlessly and said unhappily.

"Nonsense! I can read. I'm asking what this badge means."

Shadow said "oh".

"Isn't it obvious? From now on, you are the Commissioner of the Overwatch Council."

Mei Chengan frowned.

"I remember I rejected Dean Chen more than once. He is acting on his own. Besides, His Majesty will never agree to this."

Shadow spread his hands.

"You think too much. This waist badge was given to you by His Majesty so that you can concurrently serve as the Commissioner. As for why, don't ask me. I don't know either."

Your Majesty? Mei Chengan was shocked. How could he...

Forget it, let's think about this later. At the moment, he has more important things to ask about.

Mei Chengan raised his eyebrows.

"Why do you emphasize this badge so much? Is there more than one?"

Yingzi was shocked. He didn't think much about what he said, but he paused subconsciously. He didn't expect Mei Cheng'an to be so perceptive. But when he thought about it, there seemed to be nothing he couldn't say.

"Ah, there are two. Yours is newly made."

Mei Cheng'an heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He was so scared just now. He finally made it to the stage where the plot begins. The world line cannot change. If it changes, he will be in the dark. However, it is better to confirm it just in case.

"Who has the other piece?"

Shadow spoke subconsciously.

"Inbeom..."

As he was talking, he felt something was not right. Can he tell this? Yingzi covered his mouth. It was a close call. He almost told Fan Xian. Chen Pingping had told him that he must not reveal a single word about Fan Xian to the outside world. If Chen Pingping knew that he almost told the truth, she would probably kill him.

And that kid Mei Cheng'an, whose sudden question almost exposed his true identity. Damn it, he couldn't guess who it was just by saying the word "Fan", right? That's right, it's definitely impossible, he couldn't know any news about Fan Xian.

"Ahem, I don't know. You didn't hear anything just now."

Just hearing the model words is enough! As long as you make sure that the general direction of the world line has not changed, then everything will be fine.

Then Mei Cheng'an looked at the shadow with gratitude.

It has to be you, the black-robed monster, you are my good buddy and brother, you have helped a lot!

However, I have to give you a squeeze if I catch you making a mistake, otherwise it would not be consistent with my personality in front of you. Please be understanding, my friend.

"I heard you say Fan. What Fan? Why didn't you finish?"

"..."

Shadow's head was filled with black lines. This guy was starting to act like a jerk again.

"Let's have a fight."

Mei Chengan curled the corners of his mouth and spread his hands.

"Okay, are you still going to Chen Garden? When?"

Shadow gritted his teeth.

"I'm not going anywhere. Right here, right now. I can't help it."

Mei Cheng'an was startled and quickly reached out to stop him. His father's beloved Zi Yi Ju was still here.

"Don't! Well, you said nothing and I heard nothing."

Shadow looked at Mei Cheng'an with contempt, thinking that he was a scumbag who deserved to be punished.

Mei Cheng'an ignored Shadow's contemptuous look and weighed the badge in his hand. It was not big, but quite heavy.

"Do I need to report to the Overwatch Council?"

Shadow is still angry.

"Whether you want to go or not."

Mei Chengan was helpless. Wasn't it enough to just give in?
"Stop joking, let's talk business."

Shadow snorted and turned away.

"It's like what I'm talking about is not serious business."

"..."

Okay, you win, you stingy black-robed monster.

Mei Cheng'an watched the shadow's figure disappear over the wall, then looked down at the badge in his hand thoughtfully.

Have I become the Director of the Supervisory Council now?
It seems...there's nothing to be excited about.

As for what His Majesty and Chen Pingping thought, he was too lazy to think about it. There was no point in thinking so much. He would know the answer when the time came.

The maids all came over and looked at the dark black badge in the young master's hand with curiosity.

Sweet potato asked.

"Master, what is this position?"

Mei Cheng'an came to his senses, looked at the curious expressions of the maids, and threw the badge to them.

"I can't explain the details, but his position in the Supervisory Commission is quite high, second only to Chen Pingping. Although he is not responsible for any specific matters, he is on the same level as the heads of various departments."

The maids were touching their badges, and when they heard this, they all raised their heads, their eyes full of shock. That was the famous Supervisory Council, a huge organization that controlled the entire Qing Kingdom, and the young master was now the second in command?

Sweet potato said excitedly after being shocked.

"Then the young master has been promoted again, right?"

Mei Cheng'an hesitated for a moment. He was not sure what rank the position of Ti Si was, but judging from the power he held, it was indeed a promotion.

"That's it."

"How come you don't look very happy after getting promoted, young master?"

Mei Chengan shrugged.

"There's nothing to be happy about. The higher the position, the greater the responsibility, which may not be a good thing."

Sweet potato let out an "oh" and was still very excited.

"I don't understand. What preparations do we need to make? Should I prepare the official uniform of the Overwatch Council for the young master?"

Mei Cheng'an tapped her forehead.

"What are you going to prepare? You don't need to prepare anything. Young Master, I have no plans to report to the Supervisory Council right now."

Sweet potato rubbed his forehead.

"So when do you plan to go, young master?"

Mei Cheng'an gave an ambiguous answer.

"Of course... when the time is right."

……

Good rain knows the season, when spring is here.

Spring is not only the time when everything comes back to life, but it is also the time when it rains continuously.

Mei Cheng'an, who had originally planned to go on a spring outing, had to give up his travel plans several times due to the weather. He finally encountered a sunny day and hurried to seize the opportunity. As a result, it started snowing again as soon as he arrived at the destination, and it rained heavily, heavier than ever before.

Be patient and wait for a while. Spring rain usually stops after a while. But after waiting for most of the day, it showed no sign of stopping and the temperature also dropped.

Mei Chengan had no choice but to order his men to return home.

Hey, guess what.

As soon as I returned to Mei Mansion and walked into the courtyard, the rain stopped.

Mei Chengan's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he just kept silent to the sky.

Time flies and it is summer.

In April, Mei Cheng'an made another appointment with Yingzi and went to Chen Garden.

During the period, Mei Cheng'an talked to Chen Pingping about his role as the Commissioner of State. Chen Pingping said that he didn't know what the emperor meant, and then for the first time he shared with him the identity of another Commissioner of State.

But he didn't say much, just mentioned Fan Xian's name and that he was not in Kyoto at the moment, and finally mentioned that his deceased mother founded the Overwatch Council.

Mei Cheng'an did not ask about Fan Xian's news, but only asked whether the time that Chen Pingping had mentioned at Wang Ba's birthday party was coming soon. Chen Pingping's eyes were obscure at the time, and he only said that it was coming soon.

One day in early May, Guo Baokun came to chat with him during his day off and mentioned to him a new thing along the Liujing River: a new courtesan named Si Lili had emerged in Zuixianju.

According to him, Si Lili is not only beautiful as a fairy, but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Most importantly, she has very high standards. No matter who you are, if your talent is not recognized by her, it will be difficult for you to even meet her.

There were countless talented scholars and sons of noble families who were rejected, but no one dared to offend them because the boss behind Zuixianju was said to be Li Hongcheng, the prince of Jing. No one dared to mess with him just because of his identity as the prince of Jing, not to mention that he was the second prince's man.

Guo Baokun even suggested that he give it a try, saying that others might not be able to do it, but with his talent there would definitely be no problem.

You know what, thinking about Si Lili's beautiful face, Mei Cheng'an was really tempted. It would be hard for any man to refuse the idea of ​​going to Wushan with a stunning courtesan without having to take responsibility, but he still gritted his teeth and refused.

Putting aside the question of whether Emperor Qing minds his drinking and having sex, he can't get past Mei Zhili.

Go secretly? Come on, Zuixianju is currently promoting Si Lili, so how can they abandon his title as the most talented scholar in Qing country and give him the most beautiful lady for free?
Mei Cheng'an figured it out, but Guo Baokun didn't. Mei Cheng'an's determination made Guo Baokun deeply regretful and he called it a pity.

As the saying goes, give a peach to a tree, you should give a jade in return. Guo Baokun made him embarrassed, so he must make Guo Baokun embarrassed as well.

So Mei Cheng'an took out the chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions written by Fan Xian and first showed him the poems written by Jia Baoyu in Chapter 23.

As expected, Guo Baokun was immediately attracted by these poems at first sight. The style was very similar to his own, and the poems were even better than his. He immediately regarded Jia Baoyu as his close friend, and became interested in Jia Baoyu's story.

Guo Baokun expressed his desire to borrow the book, which was exactly what Mei Cheng'an wanted. How could he refuse? He immediately said that it was no problem and allowed Guo Baokun to take it home and copy it. After copying, he just needed to return the original manuscript to him.

Before leaving, Mei Cheng'an specifically mentioned the author of the book, Fan Xian, to Guo Baokun. Fan refers to the Fan family and Xian means idleness. He also told him to remember the name and even asked him to repeat it three times to make sure he remembered it before letting him go.

Mei Cheng'an looked at Guo Baokun's departing back and smiled, "I wonder if you'll feel uncomfortable when the prince asks you to destroy Fan Xian's reputation."

In mid-June, Mei Cheng'an attended Xiao Wuhuarou's fourth birthday party. Just like last year, he was the only one there. Xiao Wuhuarou had grown a lot taller than last year and was becoming more and more beautiful. He looked like a porcelain doll and loved to laugh.

Summer passes and autumn comes.

In July, Mei Cheng'an organized another autumn outing. This was the third time he organized an autumn outing in early autumn. It had almost become a routine. He went on two outings every autumn, one in early autumn and one in late autumn.

The location was still chosen as the blessed place that allowed him to break through to the ninth level, Akihabara.

There were some changes in the traveling personnel. Mrs. Wang did not come because she had to look after the shop. Only Wang Qinian and Xiao Wuhuarou came. Fansace was naturally not absent. In addition to Fan Ruoruo, there was one more person in Mei Yuxi's sister group, Princess Roujia, the only daughter of Emperor Qing's brother Prince Jing, and the younger sister of Prince Jing's son Li Hongcheng. Her real name was Li Roujia.

Boss, Princess Roujia did not appear in the drama. What kind of face do you think would be suitable? Please recommend a pretty actress. There is no age limit, as long as she looks young. However, her body must not be as skinny as Song Tie.
