capital girl

Chapter 191 Return to Beijing
Almost everything in Linshui County is on the right track.

Meng Shiyu was not so busy anymore.

Master Zhu's daughter-in-law heard that Linshui County had completely changed, so she left her mother's house and brought her children to Linshui County to find him.

Mr. Zhu is a loyal and honest person, and he didn't dislike his wife. He felt that Linshui County was not very good before, and his wife would suffer if she followed him here. It would be better to go back to her natal home. Now his life is better, wife It is reasonable to come to him again.

Not only did he not dislike him, but he even pityed him even more.

His colleagues joked with him about it, but he didn't care.

Meng Shiyu said before that Linshui County would get better and his wife would come back, and now it has come true, but Meng Shiyu never made fun of him.

Master Zhu took all the affairs of the door to himself.

Zhang Bo was in charge of designing the new urban area, and a wealthy businessman took over. The project was proceeding smoothly and orderly, and Meng Shiyu didn't need to worry about it.

When Meng Shiyu was free, he took his tent and Li Yulou to the beach to bask in the sun, go fishing, and watch the sunset.

That day, he and Li Yulou were bathing in the sun by the sea, when Zhou Wang hurried over.

Zhou Wang was not the only one who ran here, but also the little servant from last time.

"Why is it you again? Did I give you too little reward?" Meng Shiyu asked when he saw the little servant frowning.

"I've never seen someone as generous as Mr. Meng." The little servant said with a smile.

"Then why are you here?" Meng Shiyu asked with a frown.

"The younger one is here to pass on the decree. According to His Majesty's decree, I will promote you to be a fourth-rank bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and leave immediately to return to Beijing to take up the post." The little servant said with a smile on his face.

"What..." Meng Shiyu angrily snatched the imperial decree from the little servant.

Li Yulou also read the content of the imperial decree and frowned.

Now this kind of happy life where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the sea is wide and the birds are flying is really good, she doesn't want to go back to the capital either.

"Are you sure you're not preaching a false imperial decree?" Meng Shiyu stared at the little servant and asked.

"Master Meng, even if you give the little one a thousand and ten thousand courage, the little one won't dare." The little servant said with a sad face.

"The little one just returned to the capital last time, His Majesty called the little one to the Imperial Study Room and asked about the situation in Linshui County.

The young one answered truthfully, His Majesty was very surprised and felt that Mr. Meng had done a good job, so he immediately promoted Mr. Meng to a fourth-rank bachelor of the Imperial Academy.

The young one was kneeling in the imperial study at that time, His Majesty really appreciated the talent of the adults, so he made such a decision. "

Meng Shiyu wanted to scold someone, what did he do so early?
The capital is in dire straits now, King Qin and King Yan are fighting to the death for the throne, and he will be involved when he returns to the capital.

"This time it's bad news, and I won't give you a reward." Meng Shiyu said, turned around and walked back with the imperial decree.

The little servant looked at a loss, he thought he could get more gold this time, but in the end there was no gold.

Who would have thought that some people would be unhappy when they were directly promoted from the seventh rank to the fourth rank, and said that this was bad news, which was the first time he had encountered it in so many years as a eunuch.

"What's wrong? Are you so unhappy?" Meng Fangfei asked Li Yulou who was behind him when she saw Meng Shiyu's angry look.

"Your Majesty's decree has just promoted him to a fourth-rank bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and asked him to return to Beijing immediately to take up his post." Li Yulou replied.

"It's really not good news." Meng Fangfei said with a smile.

"I think so too. I like the life here more and more, and I don't want to go back to the capital." Li Yulou pouted and acted like a baby to Meng Fangfei.

"But this is an imperial decree, what can be done? Earlier, he was told not to take the test for merit, but he insisted on taking the test. After the test, he can't help himself." Meng Fangfei said.

"Besides, it's really not a good time now. King Yan and King Qin are fighting to the death. After returning, there will be a whirlpool."

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly promote him to a fourth-rank Dali Hanlin University scholar?" Li Yulou looked at Meng Fangfei and asked.

There are some things that she can't see clearly, but Meng Fangfei can see clearly.In this regard, Li Yulou felt that his Daoheng was far behind Meng Fangfei.

"Our Majesty is still kind to my nephew. This step should have been in his plan. Delegating Shiyu to Linshui County is to see Shiyu's talent and further test him. Now Shigure has obviously passed his test, so he was given this position naturally."

"Shi Yu is only 19 years old this year, and he is already ranked fourth rank, which is very rare in the whole history."

"If things go well and there are no accidents, your husband will be able to be the prime minister before the age of 25."

"This is his dream." Li Yulou said.

"Yes, this is his dream. Then pack up and return to Beijing," Meng Fangfei said.

"Why?" Li Yulou asked.

"You are asking me, no matter which one is in the top position, King Yan or King Qin, you have no good fruit to eat, so how can you be the prime minister?" Meng Fangfei looked at Li Yulou and asked back.

Li Yulou nodded. This was indeed her doubt, and Meng Fangfei hit the nail on the head.

"What does the Imperial Academy do?" Meng Fangfei asked again.

"The Imperial Academy is a place to help His Majesty handle government affairs..."

Meng Fangfei nodded, "That is the place where the country's secret keys are handled. Shi Yu is stationed in Hanlin Garden as a fourth-rank official, and all the country's records, documents, and secret letters have to go through his hands. He knows all about the country's affairs like the palm of his hand. "

"Furthermore, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy has another important duty, which is to teach."

"The person being taught is naturally the prince."

"King Qin and King Yan have already opened mansions, and they have long been excluded from the academic courses of the Imperial Academy.

Then Shi Yu went to teach the fourth prince and the younger princes. "

"Now His Majesty takes a fancy to the Fourth Prince and often favors Concubine Shu. It is obvious that he let Shi Yu sit as the emperor's tutor."

"Shi Yu has been the mentor of the fourth prince. In the future, when the fourth prince ascends to the throne, whether he can be ranked in the Nine Ministers or not, it will be a matter of time before he enters the cabinet..."

Li Yulou suddenly realized that the emperor had already paved the way for Meng Shiyu.

"Does Shi Yu know about this?" Li Yulou asked.

"What do you think?" Meng Fangfei raised her eyebrows, "How many people are smarter than him..."

Li Yulou nodded slowly.

"Silly girl, it means that he cares about you, otherwise he would sell you, and you are still happily counting the money for him." Meng Fangfei nodded Li Yulou's forehead.

Li Yulou's cheeks were slightly red.

"Don't worry, as early as Shi Yu expected, he was mentally prepared. He didn't want to go back. It's just that the things here haven't been finished yet, so he thinks it's too early."

Meng Fangfei smiled, and took Li Yulou's arm, "This time I will also go back to the capital to accompany you, and I will leave after this turmoil passes."

"Thank you, aunt, I knew you were the best for us." Li Yulou leaned on Meng Fangfei's shoulder coquettishly.

"Smelly girl, you make me feel older." Meng Fangfei smiled.

"How can my aunt grow old, my aunt will always..."

Meng Fangfei reached out and pinched Nian Li Yulou's cheek, "Small mouths are so sweet, it's really rare."

"Isn't this all within your expectations?" Li Yulou reached out and grabbed Meng Shiyu's big hand, "What's there to be angry about?"

"How do you know this is within my expectations?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"My aunt said..." Li Yulou smiled sweetly.

"My aunt is talking nonsense, don't listen to her."

Li Yulou said, "My parents said that she will go back with us, and she will leave after this difficult time is over..."

Meng Shiyu nodded, "That's fine too."

"Then when are we going to leave?" Li Yulou asked.

"Wait for the arrangement here..." Meng Shiyu said.

It was not easy for Meng Shiyu to make arrangements here.

Wang Dabiao, who was the first to hear the news, knelt at the door of Meng Shiyu, unable to get up.

"My lord, if you leave, everything we have done before will be in vain."

"You can't go, if you go, I will jump into the sea."

"You are so good at water that you won't drown even if you jump into the sea. If you like jumping, go for it." Meng Shiyu said.

Meng Shiyu's ruthlessness made the eyes of Wang Dabiao, a big man of standard shape, flush.

"There is no banquet that lasts forever. Now that Linshui County is on the right track, you should work hard. When I return to the capital and become a high-ranking official, it will be a matter of promoting you." Meng Shiyu said.

"I don't believe your words anymore. You said before that you would not leave Linshui County."

"I never said such a thing." Meng Shiyu said, "Don't be like a woman, get up quickly and do what you need to do."

Before Wang Dabiao left, Zhou Wang and a few yamen servants also knelt at the door.

It didn't take long for Zhou Wang and the yamen servants to leave, and several merchants also brought people to kneel at the door.

"Why do you guys want to join in the fun? Now that the official is gone, Mr. Zhu will naturally be next to the magistrate of Shui County..."

"I won't answer." Master Zhu came out from the corner next to him with a choked voice.

Meng Shiyu was speechless.

"You have to accept it if you don't accept it. I have submitted a paperwork to ask His Majesty for instructions, and His Majesty will definitely agree." Meng Shiyu said.

"Don't lie, you are just a seventh-rank official, how can you have the qualifications to give your majesty a piece of paper directly?" Master Zhu said, looking at Meng Shiyu with red eyes.

"Then you are wrong. I am now a fourth-rank official. A bachelor of the Hanlin Academy."

Meng Shiyu was so speechless that Mr. Zhu could not speak.

"So things in Linshui County won't change in any way, and the current situation will continue..." Meng Shiyu said.

"If you feel that something is wrong, write to me immediately."

Meng Shiyu spent a long time talking before dismissing these people kneeling at the door.

Li Yulou went out to buy some things and was going back to the capital to give to Zhang Xiulan, Li Yukun and others.

But everyone seemed to know her.When she came to buy things, no one asked her for silver, and they were reluctant to part with her, and some even shed tears.

Li Yulou didn't buy a few things, but his mood was extremely depressed.

In the next few days, he couldn't go shopping by himself, so he handed it over to Chuntao and Xiaoqi.

After getting ready, Meng Shiyu and Li Yulou set off to leave Linshui County.

They originally wanted to leave quietly and quietly, but they couldn't do it at all.

The common people stood on the street, all crying and looking at them with red eyes.

"Shiyu, I feel so uncomfortable." Li Yulou said to Meng Shiyu.

"If you're uncomfortable, don't read it. When you get out of the city and go far away, you won't be able to see it, so it won't be uncomfortable."

Linshui County is not big, but it took them nearly two hours to get out of the city.

After leaving the city and boarding the boat at the pier, Wang Dabiao asked Zhou Wang to fire a few shots.

Then Wang Dabiao drove the boat to follow Meng Shiyu and Li Yulou and sent them far away.

Wang Dabiao squatted on the bow of the boat crying, but his boat also stopped.

This difficult farewell is finally over.

"Shiyu, is this what you really want?" Li Yulou looked at Meng Shiyu and asked.

Being loved by the people and admired by thousands of people is not something that comes easily.

"I don't want anything but you." Meng Shiyu pulled Li Yulou into his arms.

"Don't make trouble, I'm telling you something serious." Li Yulou pushed and pushed Meng Shiyu.

"No trouble. What I'm talking about is also a serious matter. I haven't given the slightest thought to the matter of preparing to leave these few days. I haven't made love for half a month." Meng Shiyu pressed her cheek.

"But this is the cabin..." Li Yulou was a little nervous.

"So, except for the boatman, I drove everyone else to another boat. This boat is now only the two of us." Meng Shiyu bit Li Yulou's lip lightly.

"When did you? Why didn't I know?" Li Yulou looked at Meng Shiyu in shock.

"Because you've been feeling sad."

Li Yulou looked at Meng Shiyu in shock, others couldn't bear him to leave, and cried a lot when seeing him off, but he was fine, all he could think about was how to make out with her on the boat.

Li Yulou suddenly felt a little worthless for those who were seeing him off.

"Things in Linshui County are on the right track. It doesn't matter whether I'm here or not. Didn't you notice that I haven't done anything in the past few months, but things are moving forward steadily. According to the original plan, there is no change at all." Meng Shiyu said.

Li Yulou thought about it, and it seemed that things were really as Meng Shiyu said, the two of them had a very pleasant life in the past few months, the sun was setting on the beach all day, and the flowers were blooming.

"A capable leader must be good at discovering and using talents. I put those capable people in the right positions, and they will naturally do what they should do. Then the entire Linshui County will operate, and it will operate very well. Orderly, on the contrary, it doesn't matter whether I am the leader or not..."

Meng Shiyu groped her cheek while talking about these lofty principles without any sense of disobedience.

Naturally, they did the shameful thing again, and they did it in the cabin.

It's just that the sound insulation effect of the cabin is too bad, and both of them are suppressing their emotions.

But it's been a long time since they made out in such an environment, and the two of them were still very excited, and they had a second time.

Day and night.

Four months later, they set foot on the stone road in the capital as scheduled.

On the way back to the capital, they didn't go in too much of a hurry. Although they didn't travel as much as they did when they went there, they still stopped and went, which was very pleasant.

Li Yulou didn't delay and went back to the mansion directly.

Meng Shiyu went straight into the palace.When he returned to the capital, he naturally had to express his eagerness to wait for Miansheng. After all, it was the emperor's own son who sent the servants around him to Xiuzhou to deliver the decree to him.

"Madam, you are finally back." The housekeeper's eyes turned red when he saw Li Yulou.

"Well, I'm back." Li Yulou greeted everyone with a smile.
