Father's Day Apocalypse

Meng Duo went to Qingyun Academy to tell Jiang Xing about the situation in Nanzhou, and told him that the court had sent people to suppress the bandits. Jiang Xing didn't know much about it, but he didn't seem to be as panicked as he was two days ago.

Zhong Qiyan had to prepare for the imperial examination, so he didn't have time to chat with Meng Duo after class, so Meng Duo mingled with Zhang Lijiang in the Eight Immortals Building, sitting in a room with a window in the Eight Immortals Building, watching the boats coming on the Grand Canal by the Liuyan River come and go.

Meng Duo sometimes brought the ledger with him, sometimes he didn't. Zhang Lijiang said that he was the most leisurely businessman, and he made money while sitting still.

"Someone will take care of the store, and I'm only responsible for paying the money." Meng Duo said.

"Aren't you afraid of being framed?"

Meng Duo answered him with a sentence he learned in Dachang Kingdom: "Don't doubt the person who is suspicious, but don't be suspicious when you employ the person."

Zhang Lijiang said: "Many people know this sentence, but I have only met two people who can do it. One is Master Meng and the other is Lu Shiying."

Meng Duo asked, "What did you do when you were a deer?"

Zhang Lijiang said: "Before Lu Shiying came out of the mountain, he had been practicing on behalf of the national temple, but his ears and eyes were all over the world. The emperor went to the national temple seven times to inquire about state affairs. Several times, before he could speak, Lu Shiying had already offered his clothes. There is a kit with a solution, and the subtlety of knowing how to use it well is unrivaled."

After seeing the deer Shiying, Meng Duo took Zhang Lijiang's words seriously.

Zhang Lijiang drank slowly: "However, everyone wants Lu Shiying, but not everyone wants to be Lu Shiying."

Meng Duo was eating snacks: "How?"

"Lu Shi should have grown up in an extremely harsh and harsh environment. The abbot of the National Temple deliberately cultivated him to let him abstain from the seven emotions and cut off the six desires, and live without desires."

Meng Duo thought of the softness in his eyes when the deer should look at him, and thought it should be just Meng Duo's illusion.

Meng Duo sent the drunk Zhang Lijiang back to the Hou Mansion, and walked back slowly along the banks of the Liuyan River.

The gentle breeze blowing from the canal touched Meng Duo's face, and a few pleasure boats with red lanterns made the splashing sound of clearing the river water. Meng Duo thought of something, and became a little irritable, "Ah Luo."

Arlo quietly appeared behind Mengdo.

Meng Duo asked: "Has the list of participants in the fireworks banquet come out?"

"The dignitaries and dignitaries are already on the list, and there are still some ordinary people who are not easy to check." A Luo presented the list.

Meng Duo glanced twice, his expressionless face made A Luo uneasy.

"Young master, there are too many people." A Luo whispered.

Meng Duo returned the list to him, and said in a cold voice: "Exclude those who are rich and short, and focus on young men who know martial arts."

After receiving the order, Aluo didn't want to leave immediately, so he walked slowly by the Liuyan River with Meng Duo.

The wind blowing from the Grand Canal gradually extinguished the anger in Meng Duo's heart, and he returned to his usual lazy look, saying to A Luo behind him, "Follow me to the Deer Mansion."

"Ah?" Ah Luo's wide eyes made Meng Duo a little amused, and Meng Duo said, "Sneak in and don't disturb the people in Lu Mansion."

The night was like water, and the ginkgo trees in the backyard of Lu Mansion rustled in the wind. Meng Duo walked along the Qingshuitan to the tree that should be planted for deer.

The small tree is only a little taller than Meng Duo, and it is not very lush. I don't know if it is because the deer picked the first buds in spring.

"Master?" A Luo called in a low voice.

Meng Duo said, "Go and watch from a distance, don't come over."

Arlo couldn't figure out what Mengdo was going to do, but obediently walked away.

Meng Duo wiped his hands on his clothes, and timidly picked off the first leaf.

I don't know when the deer appeared. Anyway, when Mengdo noticed him, Mengdo had already eaten all the leaves on a branch.

"Master Meng?" Lu Shiying's voice carried an imperceptible smile.

Mondo couldn't explain what he was doing, and it was impossible to lie, because he was sitting under the tree of Anshu, holding the bare branch of Anshu in his left hand, and a half-gnawed Anshu leaf in his right hand , while the other half is in his mouth.

Under Lu Shiying's gaze, Meng Duo held An Shuye in his mouth, swallowing it or not. When he heard the deer, he said, "Why don't you come to me if you want to eat?"

Because of the matter of "wanting to eat the leaves in your backyard", the respectable Master Meng couldn't tell the noble Master.

Lu Shiying sat next to Meng Duo, and also sat under the dwarf ann tree, with a quiet pool of clear water in front of him.

"Is it delicious? I'll try it." Lu Shiying took the half-eaten Anshu leaf and put it in his mouth.

Even eating leaves, Deer Shiying is more elegant and dignified than Mengdo, which makes Mengdo think that if a deer Shiying becomes a kangaroo in Australia, it must be the most beautiful kangaroo, and many female kangaroos are willing to take the grass. and leaves for him, and for deer should give birth to wallabies.

"Not bad, how do you know it's so delicious?" Lu Shiying asked.

Meng Duo, who was supposed to be embarrassed, was not ashamed or embarrassed in the natural chat in Deer Shiying. Deer Shiying should have this ability to let Meng Duo sneak into your backyard in the middle of the night to eat your leaves. After such absurd things are discovered, they will only feel relieved.

"I ate the tea." Mengdo told a little lie.

Lu Shiying said: "So it is like this." Lu Shiying took out a handkerchief from his wide sleeve, picked off the leaves of Anshu, wiped it clean with the handkerchief, and handed it to Meng Duo, "I will send someone to take it off for you. Send it."

Meng Duo held the Anshu leaf, a little shy: "Thank you."

"It's late at night, I'll stay at the mansion tonight, I'll send someone to take Master Meng back tomorrow, how about it?"

Meng Duo ate the leaves of the deer, but couldn't say anything to reject the deer, and agreed: "Okay." Then asked: "Where are my people?"

Lu Shiying said, "I have sent him to rest."

Meng Duo understood the meaning. When he was eating leaves, A Luo, who also knew martial arts, was knocked out by the powerful deer. Because he saw him later, he knew that A Luo was his man, and now he has been sent Into the room to rest.

Standing in the elegant and comfortable wing of the Lu Mansion, Meng Duo should say to the deer: "Goodbye." After thinking for a while, he said: "You can't remove all the leaves in one go, or leave them to grow."

Meng Duo was worried that Lu Shiying would take off all the leaves of Anshu and bring them to him tomorrow, so he said to Lushiying that he had eaten a lot tonight, and if he took off all the leaves of Anshu, he would die easily. He has eaten enough tonight, and he will come to eat again when the leaves are vigorous again.

"it is good."

Meng Duo slept well, and A Luo appeared in his room the next day, and said with a guilty face, "The subordinate was knocked out without realizing it."

"Get up." Meng Duo said, "Lu Shiying's martial arts are above yours."

Aluo told Meng Duo swearingly that next time he enters the Lu Mansion at night, he will definitely bring enough people to protect Meng Duo, so that he will not be found again.

Master Meng steals leaves from trees in other people's backyards, and even comes with a lot of people. Meng Duo is not so confident.

Lu Mansion prepared a light breakfast, Meng Duo bid farewell to Lu Shiying after eating it, and walked with A Luo to Meng Mansion.

Zhong Qiyan and Jiang Xing were waiting for him in Meng Mansion, Zhong Qiyan said, "Ado, where did you go early in the morning?"

Jiang Xing rushed over and hugged Meng Duo, crying and saying, "Master Meng, my father has been kidnapped."

Jiang Xing's father, Jiang Changzhi, went out to buy dyes in Nanzhou and did not return for more than two months. He finally sent a letter to his home in Kyoto yesterday, saying that the dyes had been hijacked. Send someone to send silver taels to redeem the dye.

Jiang Xing's young lady collected some money, but she couldn't find someone to send it to. The porters in the capital were well informed, and no one was willing to go to Nanzhou, which was plagued by bandits, for a meager reward.

Jiang Xing said: "I'm going to give money to my father." He begged Meng Duo: "Can you lend me a servant, as long as one is all right, I'm not very good at riding a horse."

Zhong Qiyan said: "The journey is long and you have a lot of money, what should you do if you encounter danger on the way?" He said in a positive tone: "Master will go for you, you can study at the school with peace of mind."

After hearing this, Meng Duo was silent for a moment, and asked A Luo: "Where is the granary closest to Cang Qi?"

A Luo said: "In Yubei Town, how long does it take to get to Cangqi?"

"If you travel fast, you can arrive in fifteen days."

Meng Duo: "How much is it?"

"For 3 people," Arlo said.

Meng Duo said to Zhong Qiyan: "You will take the exam in a few days, so don't be distracted at this time. I'll go, and I will also check the account assigned by the Meng Mansion."

Zhong Qiyan hesitated: "This is not your business."

Meng Duo took a step closer to Zhong Qiyan, with a little smile in the corner of his eyes, and said softly, "Your business is my business."

Meng Duo sent people to prepare the horses and food needed for the trip, A Luo selected the accompanying people, and Jiang Xing sent the rewards prepared by the Jiang Mansion. Two days later in the early morning, the Meng Mansion's chariots and horses drove out of the capital city.

Zhong Qiyan and Jiang Xing went to see Meng Duo off and brought Meng Duo's favorite snacks.

"Let's go, don't worry." Meng Duo put down the curtain of the carriage, Zhong Qiyan and Jiang Xing could only watch the dust picked up by the wheels, watching Meng Duo drift away.

Every year, Meng Duo always leaves the capital to visit his shops in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, check the books, check the operation, and there is no need to be sad because of parting.

After the carriage drove for a while, Aluo told Meng Duo outside that someone stopped their convoy, and it seemed to be people from Lufu.

A young man who was common in Lu Mansion ran to the carriage, Meng Duo lifted the curtain, and the young man said, "Your Excellency is waiting for Master Meng over there."

Meng Duo got out of the car, followed the guidance of the servant, and walked to a big tree not far away. The white-clothed black-haired deer should turn its back on him.

"Master National Teacher is very well informed." Meng Duo said.

Lu Shiying watched him calmly, his handsome face made Meng Duo pleasing to the eye, "I'm not here to see you off."

Mondo: "Huh?"

Lu Shiying said: "The bandits in Nanzhou have changed, the emperor sent me to support them."

Meng Duo nodded knowingly: "It just so happens that we can go on the road together."

Lu Shiying said, "I think so too." He asked Meng Duo if he wanted to ride in his carriage, and said that Lufu's carriage was more stable.

Meng Duo felt that it would be disturbing and inconvenient, so Lu Shiying said, "I asked my servants to prepare some pastries."

Meng Duo had cakes from Zhong Qiyan, but Lu Shiying said again: "The cakes are mixed with ginger mother tea water, maybe the taste will be close to the leaves of ginger mother trees."

Meng Duo took a good bite and got into the car when he followed the deer.

Master Guoshi’s carriage is indeed much more stable than Master Meng’s carriage, and it is not easy to get dizzy when looking at the books on it. The cakes made of Anshu leaves that should be prepared when deer are also delicious. Should be around, always comfortable and relaxed.

The author has something to say:

Xiaomeng: Eat the leaves decently.
