There was only a drizzle, and the street was covered with greenery. Facing the Qinhuai River, there was an inconspicuous noodle stall with a few diners.

Among them was a thin diner, wearing a tattered shirt, unkempt, and when he looked closely, the bloodshot eyes in his eyes became even more haggard.

It seems to be a poor scholar, but it is not likely, because no scholar is like a lost dog.This person doesn't care about the eyes of others, he only has a bowl of Yangchun noodles in front of him.

The big bowl of noodles was empty in no time, and Qin You wiped his mouth shyly: "Have another bowl, okay?"

"It's easy to talk about." The person sitting across from him smiled, and the owner of the stall opposite called: "Another bowl of fresh meat wontons."

Qin You blushed, looked at the oil stars floating in the soup pot, and waved his hands embarrassingly: "Noodles, plain noodles..."

The person on the opposite side took good care of his face, and said nonchalantly, "What's the matter, my brother is very amiable, and he is also a talented person. It's just a bowl of wonton, so why not be polite!"

While talking, steaming wontons were served on the table.Qin You hadn't seen meat for more than half a year. At this time, his eyes glowed green, and he was hindered by a little scholar's reserve, he swallowed slowly: "Brother Chang beat me..."

"Hey, my virtuous brother will definitely have a great fortune in the future, and I'm afraid I will still eat your bowl of wontons!" Chang Meizi said, getting up to get vinegar.

Qin You took this opportunity to quickly swallow a spoonful of wontons, and the soup was served, scalding him until he blinked.

"Ouch, brother Taiwan," Chang Meizi handed him sweet wine, "slow down!"

Qin You's voice was like a gnat: "Ashamed, ashamed..."

Chang Meizi sat down and fanned him attentively: "I said you, why did you get a bad nose?"

Tan You's face was gloomy, and he scooped up the oil floating in the bowl: "This matter...it's a long story!"

"I think my brother's situation is poking at something sad?" Chang Meizi comforted him, "If I speak badly, you have the right to treat me as farting. Don't take it to heart."

Qin You was at a loss at this time, wishing someone could listen to his thoughts, put down the soup bowl quickly, and said, "I wandered all the way from my hometown to meet an... an old friend. Who knows that people's hearts are changeable, and my former confidant , and now I also smell of copper! Today I went to him, but he ridiculed me in every possible way, and the articles I wrote were also criticized as worthless."

"I'm a white man, I don't know about you scholars," Chang Meizi graciously poured tea for him, "You don't have to be too sad now, let's go and see, there will always be a bright future."

Zhenri was spurned by others. Hearing these words, Qin You felt sorry for him for a moment, and raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears: "After what happened to me, I will go back to my hometown in Hangzhou. In the past few years, even though I was a child , but the subsequent exams failed again and again..."

He said he was a child, which was a bit of a show off.Chang Meizi smiled, as if she didn't understand. The Yangchun noodles in front of her were already dry, but she didn't move her chopsticks: "Oh? My brother's hometown is around Hangzhou. I must have suffered a lot all the way to Nanjing."

Qin You didn't think much about it, and showed a blushing look on his face: "Actually, I was favored by others, so I had some troubles and went to Nanjing by water."

"There are still many good people in this world." Chang Meizi sighed.

"Not necessarily." Tan You followed the memory and speculated maliciously: "He is a businessman, and I am afraid he has done too many bad things..."

Chang Meizi cut him off: "Actually, I don't need to be in such a hurry to go home."

Qin You stopped and looked at him in confusion.

"Here I am..." Chang Meizi thought about it, "There is a vacancy for a teacher in an official's family. If my brother is willing, I have a way."

Chang Xi sat in the study room, with a handful of incense curling from white smoke beside him, the gold silk curtain was hung up, and for the first time, no pretty boy was called to wait on him, and there were piles of large and small paper booklets on the desk, stamped, but not covered. Printed, all stacked together.

Everyone outside knew clearly that Duke Du had lost his temper, and the ink in the inkstone was about to dry out, so no one dared to go in to add water.After a while, Chang Xi swiped those copybooks down, raised his eyebrows, and gritted his teeth: "Unlucky!"

This is a rare thing. Chang Xi has never been so angry when he took up the post of Nanjing's internal defense.All the servants have heard that someone took advantage of Jingcha and the Longevity Festival to report Chang Xi to Beijing for accepting bribes.No one knew the source of the news, but only vaguely knew that the Nanjing Military Department might have been involved in this ignorant book.

After all, Chang Xi was Chang Xi, so he got angry for a while, frowned, and shouted to the outside: "Has Chang Meizi come back yet? Call him here!"

The little firemen outside said yes in a hurry, and after a while, the door of the study opened.Chang Meizi walked quickly to Chang Xi's side, and before she could speak, she bent over to pick up the messy papers.

"Why is Duke Du so angry! Who doesn't have eyes!" Chang Meizi was angrier than Chang Xi when she opened her mouth. Perhaps it was the funny look that amused Chang Xi, and the tension in the room was not so tense for a while.

"I told you to keep an eye on him, why do you still add people to the house?" Chang Xi watched him pick up things, his tense body relaxed, and his words seemed to be making a routine, "Our family does not support idlers."

"Don't worry, Duke Du, I'm not an idler." Chang Meizi put the paper away, patted her chest, then whispered in Chang Xi's ear for a while, and after she finished speaking, Chang Xi beamed.

"You are the most reliable in handling things." Chang Xi praised him, and then said: "Did I tell you when I came here?"

He was talking about being impeached, and Chang Meizi responded, a little vaguely.

Chang Xi patted the case: "Now is the time, I must have read the impeachment papers of our family, and there are still a few days before the birthday, let's come up with a way... to expose the matter to him!"

Chang Meizi hesitated and said, "Duke is going to...do you want to get him back?"

"I wanted to push the boat along the way, but at this point, there is nothing I can do. I brought him back now, but it made people suspicious." Chang Xi sneered, and twirled the newly-worn gold ring on his finger: "Who is it, who is it?" I don't want to be rich, I want him to come back obediently."

Chang Meizi lowered her eyebrows and didn't ask any more questions.

Suddenly, Chang Xi raised his eyes and casually chatted: "The one in your family, how is it?"

It was about Chang Meizi's wife, and Chang Meizi said in a secretive way: "It's okay, whether it's good or not, it's not bad at all."

For these confidantes, Chang Xi has always been very fond of these confidants, and without talking nonsense, he pulled off the two gold rings on his fingers: "She is sick, so don't begrudge these foreign things."

Chang Meizi didn't dare to take it, and stammered, "Du, Du Gong, this..."

When it comes to winning people's hearts, Chang Xi has always been straightforward: "It's not easy for us. She is willing to live with you, and it is even more difficult. You are a member of our family, and you are covered by our family. You are short of food and clothing. , why be polite to me!"

Chang Meizi was stunned for a long time, and wiped away tears. Like many people, he gave himself a knife, but he had no way to enter the palace. Help you go back to Beijing!"

"Hey...let's put it away," Chang Xi shook his finger, put the ring into his hand, and closed his fingers, "Nanjing is also a good place."
