Rebirth of Noble Menjiao

Chapter 127 Can you be more serious?

Coming out of the inner room, Mingyi's pretty face was slightly calm and she said to Feng Yu, "Go and ask if the Governor will return home tonight? Give Songfeng a message. If the Governor comes back, please ask him to come over. I I have something important to tell him."

Feng Yu had never seen Ming Yi like this before. The silent power made her dare not say anything. She held her breath and said "yes" before bowing and retreating.

Weiyu looked at Mingyi hesitantly, "Princess, has something happened?" The princess and Fanshuang were clearly smiling before entering the inner room, but why did they look different when they came out? Wei Yu's questioning gaze fell on Fan Shuang, who came out behind Ming Yi. The latter's expression was not very good, but he didn't seem to see her eyes at all.

"It's nothing. It's getting late. Let's all go to bed!" Mingyi rolled up the account book and said, avoiding the important and taking the easy.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like nothing is wrong. Wei Yu also has something on her mind. If she doesn't ask clearly, she might not be able to sleep at night. "Princess, do you regret it a little?"

"Regret? What do you regret?" Mingyi was confused by her question.

"Of course I regret meeting the person from Fallen Immortal Tower today and what I said to her!" Wei Yu has been holding back these words for half a day, and the more she holds them in, the more uncomfortable she is, and now she can no longer hold them in.

Mingyi really didn't expect that the topic would turn here, and she didn't expect that Wei Yu would have such thoughts. She was a little dumbfounded at the moment, "No, I have no regrets."

"Why?" Wei Yu was puzzled and even more uneasy, "The princess said there that she liked her, was destined to her, invited her to live in the house for a long time, and called her sister. Could it be that the princess really...seriously? Is that what you had in mind?"

"What's your idea?" Mingyi knew what she meant, but she smiled and deliberately teased her.

"Princess..." Wei Yu naturally knew this and was a little anxious.

Mingyi smiled, "What's the matter? Our governor is also pitiful. Look at this house, it's deserted. He's already at this age. Not to mention he has a son and a half. He has a man who knows both coldness and warmth. No one else. No matter what, he is still the governor of Anxi..."

Yes, the governor, whose family only had a few hundred taels, Fan Shuang cursed at the side. But these words can only rot in her stomach, destined to be heard only by herself.

"Now that I've entered the house, I naturally want to help him. If this string song is really good, I won't care about her background, but I can welcome her in."

"Princess Princess, are you doing it for..." Mingyi's understatement, even the tone of matter-of-factness made Wei Yu listen anxiously, and she subconsciously said, but as soon as she raised her head, Mingyi glanced over with a pair of eyes. With a cold warning, she suddenly got excited and stopped her words in time, paused briefly, and then said, "The princess is like this. In addition to this girl Xiange, do you also plan to find an opportunity to meet the young lady from the Pei family?" ?”

Mingyi was pleasantly surprised, "How did Weiyu guess my plan? It seems that my family Weiyu understands me better and is more attentive."

Wei Yu didn't feel the slightest joy at being praised, "Princess, among those in Wangjing City who help their husbands recruit new people, all of them are willing to do so, either because they are forced to have no choice, or because they want to gain a reputation as a virtuous person." The Lord is different from them, so why bother ourselves?”

Wei Yu was really sincere, but the smile on Mingyi's face did not change at all, "I am different from them. They pretend to be happy, but I take it seriously. I will not be unhappy, even if they come in, I will work for the Governor in the future, and I can treat those children as my own, and I will do what I say! Really... what are your expressions? Don't you believe me? I really mean it, and there is absolutely no trace of it. Pretend. Fanshuang, what’s wrong with you? Are your eyes uncomfortable? "

As she was talking, she suddenly noticed that the expressions of the two girls became strange. Fanshuang winked at her as if his eyes were cramping. The hairs on the back of Mingyi's neck stood up after realizing it. She laughed and turned around. Sure enough, she saw Xue Lin, dressed in navy blue, straightened up and looked at her with dark eyes. He didn't know when he came, but his ears must have heard every word of what she just said. Her heart was spinning, and Mingyi had calmed down. What was she afraid of? She just said what she was thinking, and was not afraid that he would hear her, so she smiled and said in a brisk voice, "The governor is back, it's a coincidence that he's back. "

"It's a coincidence. If I hadn't come back at this time, how would I have known that Madam is so virtuous?" Xue Lin's eyes were dark and there was no trace of happiness or anger.

Mingyi smiled lightly and spoke in a graceful voice, "Don't take it to heart, Governor. After all, I have said before that I will take your best interests into consideration."

"Then I really have to thank you madam!" Xue Lin's voice dropped a little, and Mingyi couldn't feel the slightest bit of gratitude. Isn't she happy? Why?

Mingyi didn't come up with an idea. The corner of Xue Lin's eyes had already glanced at Fanshuang and Weiyu who were standing aside. It was as cold as ice. The two girls' hands and feet were frozen immediately. He turned around and hid outside, but he didn't dare to leave and looked straight at Mingyi.

Mingyi noticed it and nodded towards the two people. Fanshuang and Weiyu then stiffly knelt down and blessed, turned around and walked outside. Before going out, they still couldn't hold it back and looked at Mingyi worriedly. Then he closed the door.

"These two maids are very loyal to you." Xue Lin gave a rare compliment.

"They are both timid. The Governor should not scare them casually in the future. If they are frightened, where can I find such a loyal person?" Ming Yi joked and handed over the account book in her sleeve. "It just so happened that I had something to tell the Governor. Fanshuang and Songfeng checked the accounts of the mansion these past two days and gave me this. Governor, if these accounts are leaked and used by someone with ulterior motives, I will punish you for raising private soldiers and plotting evil intentions. It’s not difficult. At that time, all your own property will be subsidized, but it will become evidence of crime. Isn’t that too uneconomical?”

"Have you never thought that I am really good at raising private soldiers?" Xue Lin did not reach out to take the account book, but instead asked without answering, his eyes still looking at her.

Mingyi frowned, "The imperial treasury has been empty in recent years, and it is common for the army to be in arrears. It is said that the Anxi army has three hundred thousand, and each person owes one tael, so that's a lot. You must not be treating your soldiers badly. Isn't it normal to subsidize them yourself?" It’s just that this account book cannot be taken lightly, it must be kept well.”

Xue Lin looked at Mingyi with a serious look on her face and laughed softly.

He actually smiled? But she didn't tell a joke. Mingyi frowned even more tightly, "Why are you laughing? What I'm talking to you about is serious business. It's important. Can you be more serious?"

Xue Lin stopped laughing, but there was still a faint smile in his eyes, "Madam, since she knows that the Ministry of Revenue is in arrears with military pay, how come she doesn't know that it is common for border guards to eat empty pay? You said that my Anxi Army has 300,000, Is it really 300,000?"

Mingyi's face changed slightly as she listened.

When Xue Lin saw this, the smile in his eyes grew even stronger, "Don't worry, this account book is naturally not something outsiders can peep into. As for what you are worried about, it will not happen. These..." Xue Lin pointed out. In that account book, "His Majesty gave me an IOU for every transaction."

"Seriously?" Mingyi was surprised and confused. The emperor's uncle, the king of a country, actually issued an IOU to someone?

Her eyes were wide open, and her small, white face looked like the mice Xue Lin had seen raised in a barbarian troupe. They were stupid, but also a little... cute.

He suddenly smiled, "What do you think?"
