Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 199 Mrs. Wei?
Meng Changqing was about to step back and leave, but he noticed that among the crowd, there was a lady who had been watching her, as if she wanted to come forward to talk to her, but she was hesitant.

Meng Changqing was sure that she didn't know this person, but when she saw the little girl next to her, she calculated her age, and then thought of Wei Fangyun's words, the Xiao family sent messages to the mansion one after another. '

Could this be... "Mrs. Wei?" Meng Changqing called tentatively.

The wife took her daughter through the front barrier and came to Meng Changqing. She said happily: "Mr. Meng, I often hear my husband mention you in his letters."

Meng Changqing saw her embarrassment and discomfort here, and immediately answered: "Changqing is in Liangzhou under the care of Mr. Futai. When I return to Beijing this time, Mr. Futai has something to entrust me to give to my wife. I happen to meet you here. , Madam, if it’s convenient, please come with me to Meng’s Mansion now.”

Female Officer Wei said, "Isn't it rude for Master Meng to invite you here? How can you invite someone to your door at night? Besides, Mrs. Wei and I still have something to say, so why don't Master Meng invite Mrs. Wei another day?"

Meng Changqing saluted and said: "Please forgive me, Lady Wei, Mrs. Wei. I will leave the capital tomorrow and I really can't wait until another day."

Mrs. Wei's expression was urgent, and she turned to the female officer Wei and said, "My lady officer, please forgive me for being rude, but I have to go to the Meng Mansion."

Female Officer Wei nodded slowly, "Mrs. Wei, I haven't been able to chat with you a few words during this meeting. If you have another chance in the future, please do come."

Mrs. Wei responded vaguely, and quickly left the crowd with her daughter and Meng Changqing, so anxious that she didn't even care about the carriage.

It was Meng Changqing who went over to say hello and asked the guys from Changchun Garden to move the Wei family's carriage to the side of the road.

Meng Changqing invited Mrs. Wei and Miss Wei into his carriage, while she and Bafang stood outside the carriage.

After Mrs. Wei settled her daughter, she got off the carriage and thanked Meng Changqing, and asked about Wei Fangyun's situation in Liangzhou.

"Uncle Wei was reprimanded by the officials for being implicated by me. Changqing felt very guilty." Meng Changqing adjusted his standing position and shielded Mrs. Wei from the night wind. "Originally, when I returned to Beijing this time, I should have come to apologize, but Changqing was involved a lot, so I was afraid that he would be punished. I'm sorry for the trouble you caused."

"My husband once said in his letter that everything he did was of his own free will. I respect him and believe him." Mrs. Wei asked Meng Changqing again what Wei Fangyun asked him to bring back.

"Please forgive me, madam, what Chang Qing just said was a lie."

Mrs. Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "To be honest, my husband has been the magistrate of Liangzhou for many years. Except for letters, he has never sent anything back from Liangzhou. He always said that Liangzhou was poor and had nothing worth sending.

I was shocked when I heard you say that just now. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to understand what he was asking me right away. "

Meng Changqing opened his mouth and was about to apologize when Mrs. Wei waved her hand, "I know the intention of your words. If you hadn't taken me out, I don't know how long I would have been miserable there."

"You need to rest for a while. When the rest of the group clears up, I will take you home."

"Hey."

Mrs. Wei was helped by Meng Changqing to get into the carriage, but she stopped again before entering the carriage, "Mr. Meng, I don't know if I need to say something."

Meng Changqing asked with his eyes.

"My lord is not related to the lady official just now."

Meng Changqing thought to himself, this is also a smart person. Obviously this is what she wanted to say to Meng Changqing just now, and the reason why Meng Changqing recognized her and brought her out was also to clarify this point. If Mrs. Wei doesn't say it now, Meng Changqing has passed I'll ask later.

"I understand, I understand." Meng Changqing replied.

After saying these words, the carriage blocked in front started to move.

The carriage in front slowly moved forward, and Meng Changqing's motorcade also slowly followed behind. Every carriage in front was walking in the middle of the road, and Meng Changqing and the others had no room to overtake.

"What do you mean?" Bafang stared at the convoy in front of him with a very dissatisfied tone, "You know that we are following behind, but why don't you have any intention of giving way? This is too overbearing!"

Chu Mufeng glanced at him and said nothing.

Meng Changqing asked him to look at the carriage in front of him.

"Look, what's wrong?" Bafang didn't understand the key point.

"Isn't it more beautiful than our carriage?" Meng Changqing continued to remind him.

"Inlaid with gold and jade, it naturally looks better than our carriage."

"What does that mean?" Meng Changqing asked.

"It means they are richer than our family."

"Not only are they richer, they are also more powerful than our family. So, how can our car pass them?" Meng Changqing said, "We have entered the city anyway, so slow down."

Through the small curtains, Meng Changqing heard Mrs. Wei's voice, "It's exactly what Master Meng said. Most of the people in Changchun Garden today are the family members of senior officials in the capital. With my husband's official position, I couldn't even get in." ”

"Madam, I was the one who got involved."

"How can you say it's implicated?" Mrs. Wei didn't know what she thought of, and sighed: "It opened my eyes.

Mr. Meng, you are about the same age as my eldest son. Although this is the first time I see you today, I don’t feel unfamiliar in my heart. I will talk about some things freely. If there is something wrong in what I said, you have the right to ignore it. Zhifeng, don’t argue with me, an ignorant woman. "

"I don't feel unfamiliar when I see Madam, she seems to be a relative. Even if there is no blood relationship, Changqing still wants to recognize this relationship.

My aunt has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. "

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Wei responded to these two words with a smile, but then she said seriously: "After you went to Liangzhou, my family always received posts about various banquets. Even if I am short-sighted, It can be seen that where can I go to such a banquet?
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I have shied away from it many times and never went to the appointment before today. "Mrs. Wei especially emphasized the word 'never', and then said: "The reason why I came here today is because I heard that you would come too. "

"Someone did give me a post, but I didn't go." Meng Changqing explained that he was too busy to make time.

Miss Wei's emotional words came from the carriage, "Thankfully you didn't go."

Meng Changqing asked: "Didn't my little sister have fun playing in Changchun Garden?"

Miss Wei realized that she had said something wrong and stopped talking. Instead, she looked at Mrs. Wei's face carefully.

In the carriage, Mrs. Wei took over Meng Changqing's words, "Our family is not sociable, and we feel uncomfortable when we go to a place like that.

I couldn't find you in the garden, so I wanted to take her away first, but I couldn't find a suitable excuse. "

"It is said that most of the social interactions in the officialdom are done by the wives, but for the current uncle, this kind of communication is not a problem." Meng Changqing said, "What Miss Wei said today will definitely invite her again in the future, and my nephew can't even touch it." What is the purpose of the quasi-guard female officer?

But one thing is for sure, no matter what her intentions are against your family, if you don't give her a chance to get close, there will be nothing she can do. "
