Chapter 267 Different Angles

Meng Changqing asked back: "Mother, do you think this was inappropriate?"

Wen did not answer directly, but asked about the content of the reply.

"There's only one word: Yun." Meng Changqing said.

"Why did you think of asking for such a favor for your personal soldiers?" Wen asked again.

"It's not something I thought of. Captain Yang came to ask me that day, and I saw his eager eyes, so I agreed to ask for him." Meng Changqing confessed, "I also wanted to take this opportunity to see to what extent the higher-ups can trust me."

Wen nodded in understanding, "Do you know now?"

Meng Changqing was stunned by the question. Did he know? It seemed that he didn't know it very clearly. "At least it was done."

"You are still unsure." Wen said, "No matter what the other person says or how they got along in the past, as long as one of them is uneasy and always wants to test the other person, it is not a good thing.

This is how people get along with each other, not to mention that the person you want to test your feelings with is someone on the throne.

What promises do you expect from him? Even if he promises you, will you believe it? And for how long can you believe it? "

Meng Changqing was silent. "I won't believe it. I will just think that he is testing me in return."

"Yes." Wen touched Meng Changqing's shoulder, "I know your personality well. Whether you admit it or not, you are very suspicious.

I'm afraid that you are always struggling between the trust and distrust of others, wasting too much of your energy.

Changqing, I have told you these words before.

You also said you would change it.

But it is extremely difficult for people to change, not to mention that the things you want to change are not external and cannot be seen by others, so no one can help you change, you can only rely on yourself. "

Wen put some strength on Meng Changqing's shoulder and said, "Expecting others' responses will inevitably lead to disappointment."

"So just do your own thing and have a clear conscience." Meng Changqing continued.

Mrs. Wen nodded and tidied up her messy hair. "Most people can analyze things that are not related to themselves very well, but when it comes to themselves, they will be trapped by emotions or situations. You are like this, and so am I."

Meng Changqing could tell there was something else behind her words, so he met her gaze and waited for her to continue.

"The older you get, the more guilty I feel. Perhaps I shouldn't have done that in the first place." Tears welled up in Wen's eyes. "I relied on you to preserve the general's family property, but I pushed you step by step into this situation..."

"Mother, you have said this many times." Meng Changqing smiled and said, "My attitude is still the same as before. I am grateful that you did that in the beginning, which allowed me to walk a completely different path from ordinary women."

The smile on Wen's face was a little forced, "But this road is too hard."

"The reason why it's so hard is not because I'm a woman," Meng Changqing said, "it's just that I don't have the ability now. Mother, if life is full of challenges, it will definitely not be easy, but I am willing to accept this kind of difficulty."

Mrs. Wen looked at the person in front of her with a gentle gaze, "I am so glad that you are my child."

At the same time, in the Maoting Town Post Station.

Yang Zheng and Qi Renli stood outside the stable, both holding horse fodder in their hands, and talked in low voices while feeding the horses.

"I think the postmaster is a little strange." Yang Zheng asked, "Did he have the same attitude when you came last time? Did he also sneak a peek at you?" Qi Renli thought carefully, but he was too careless when he came last time and didn't pay attention to anything. Now he couldn't think of anything, "I didn't pay attention to it last time.

Why is he staring at us? We have no conflict with him, right? Is there something strange about this inn that requires us to stay here a second time?"

"Don't think it's so complicated." Yang Zheng said, "There must be some reasons that we didn't expect. Think about what that person said to you after you came in, maybe you can think of something."

"He said no more than ten sentences to me, all of which were just polite talk. How could I have thought of anything?" Although Qi Renli said this, he was already thinking about what happened before.

From the moment he entered the posthouse, that person said something...

"I understand." Qi Renli suddenly returned to his normal volume.

Yang Zheng touched him as a reminder.

Qi Renli lowered his voice again, "He wanted to know why I came here? He asked me this twice." Qi Renli moved closer to Yang Zheng, "He first asked me if I hadn't found the silkworm farmer. I told him I had found him and that I came here for personal matters, but he asked me again..."

Yang Zheng took a step back, coughed twice, and said in a normal voice: "Master Qi, you are the only one who is loyal. He wanted to do silk business and asked you to come and see."

Although Qi Renli didn't notice anything, he knew someone must have come after hearing what Yang Zheng said, so he immediately said, "It's my fault for mentioning it to him."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. You are now an official appointed by the court. It is against the rules to do these things in private."

"We are all good friends. If you don't spread the news, there won't be any problem."

Yang Zheng looked around casually and said, "Let's go."

"Who was that just now?" Qi Renli asked.

"The post officer before."

Qi Renli breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect that an eighth-rank county magistrate like me would be attracted by the postmaster's face."

"Of course you have to be careful when you wade through the river." Yang Zheng brushed off the grass debris on his hands. "Be careful at night. I might as well sleep in your room."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Yang."

I don’t know if it was that piece of fabricated words that worked, but nothing happened that night until dawn.

When he saw the post officer again in the morning, he had a warm face again, and Qi Renli no longer felt like he was being stared at.

"What is he afraid of?" Qi Renli left the inn and still couldn't figure it out. As everyone was getting ready to set off with their horses, the postmaster chased them out again, "Where are you going, sir? Are you going to come back to stay tonight?"

Qi Renli smiled and said, "Just walk around the street and see which cloth shop is affordable. I'll probably come back to stay at night."

"Okay, I'll prepare the food and wait for you to come back."

Qi Renli was suspicious and felt that everything in this area was strange.

When the group was some distance away from the posthouse, Yang Zhengcai asked, "Shall we go directly to Hongfu Village now?"

"Let's go to a few other cloth shops first." Qi Renli only visited one shop last time, which happened to be Zheng Lin's. He also found a silkworm breeder and heard about the difficulties of Hongfu Village.

This time he went to several other cloth shops, firstly to make an example, and secondly he wanted to listen to different opinions from different angles.
