Although his tone was gentle, his eyes were full of inquiry, and the aura of a court official immediately rushed towards Meng Qing.
Good guy, another test.
Even though Meng Qing had seen all kinds of great things in the world, he was momentarily attracted by this aura.
It was difficult to calm down and respond calmly, "Mr. Xie was joking. I am just a first-level woman. How do I know this? I just feel that we cannot let the refugees do nothing. I also came from the village. If someone has nothing to do, it will be very difficult."
It's easy to get into trouble, so I thought about whether I could get the government to come forward and find a reason to arrange something for the refugees, so that they would have hope of living and naturally they wouldn't cause trouble."
Meng Qing pretended to be ignorant and explained his behavior in the simplest language.
"Mr. Xie, do you think this is true?" Meng Qing pretended not to see Xie Wei's temptation and sought his approval.
"So that's the case. It makes sense." Xie Wei followed Meng Qing's words and nodded.
On the other hand, his suspicion of Meng Qing did not go away, but he became more and more interested in her.
This idea didn't come to me just now, but came to me when I heard about her from Fang Hui, plus several suggestions she made, and the small business she started by gathering the beggars in the county.
Everything about her family made Xie Wei feel that Meng Qing was not a simple person.
She is definitely not a simple country woman, which is quite similar to Chief Liang’s previous judgment.
This was also the reason why he appeared here at this time. Because he was interested in Meng Qing's origins or the whimsical thoughts in her mind, Xie Wei felt that instead of putting her outside, it would be better to put her directly under his nose.
Although there was no loophole in what he said just now, Xie Wei still believed in his own vision. The woman in front of him was definitely a little fox.
"Little girl, I shamelessly accepted your share of the gift."
Xie Wei looked at Meng Qing holding something in his hand, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said very rudely.
Recruiting disciples was a good idea he came up with. Although he was no longer a member of the court, if Meng Qing wanted to do something that would endanger the court and the country, he would never stand idly by and watch.
Meng Qing didn't know what Xie Wei was thinking about, she just felt like a huge pie was hitting her head from the air with a bang.
If it weren't for the wrong timing, she really wanted to rush outside to see if it was raining red in the sky.
Fang Hui was not surprised at all by his teacher's decision. In other words, he had already vaguely figured out from the teacher's suggestion that Chief Liang should find someone to prepare a gift for Meng Qingduo.
Well, I have fallen into pure envy and jealousy.
Who is this? This is the former Minister of Rites, and he is a great Confucian who is famous all over the world. Who among the scholars in the world would not want to be his disciple?
However, not everyone can catch the eye of the old man like him. I didn’t expect that Meng Qing would be so good. Although he had noticed it when Magistrate Fang came to him before, but now that the facts are happening in front of his eyes, Master Liang is still
It feels like falling through a door, it is very unreal, especially since this is a woman who is engaged in business.
If he remembered correctly, this should be the only female student Mr. Xie accepted.
If it were publicized, I don’t know how many people would beat their chests and stamp their feet because of it.
Anyway, he really wanted to agree to it on Meng Qing's behalf. But for such a good thing, the little girl Meng Qing actually hesitated. She even hesitated. Is it justified by nature?
Chief Liang looked at Meng Qing with a hint of sadness and anger in his eyes, as well as deep envy.
Meng Qing was innocent. Although she was almost fooled by sugar-coated bullets, she woke up at the critical moment. Looking at Mr. Fang's look, she knew that this incident was 'premeditated' from the beginning and was not an accident at all.
When the incident happened, she naturally did not have any protagonist aura. After adding the previous tentative behavior, Meng Qing realized clearly.
She was still being targeted, and she made up her mind to keep a lower profile in the future.
Although she wanted to forcefully refuse this kind of forced buying and selling of apprentices, she became more and more aware that she had no room to refuse. As long as she refused, others would only think that she was ignorant and did not know the good people's hearts.
You could tell by the expression on Mr. Liang's face just now that being accepted as a student by Xie Wei must be a blessing from heaven.
Although she now has a small business, she still has to rely on Fang Hui, the county magistrate, to make a living. She has little power behind her. She did not miss the fact that Fang Hui, the county magistrate, called Xie Wei "teacher" to explain Fang Hui.
Hui, the county magistrate, was Xie Wei's student. If she refused, Fang Hui would think that she was insulting his teacher.
Then she, a small commoner who makes a living on his behalf, can still have good things to eat.
She is now very weak and does not have the confidence to say no.
Meng Qing is a very rational and sober person. Since she can't refuse, what if she swallows this sugar-coated bullet for the time being.
Under Xie Wei's gaze, Meng Qing had a smile on his face, handed the bundle of repairs in his hand to him, and called him teacher.
Xie Wei was satisfied with this. He stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, "Good boy, good boy, get up quickly."
The old fox and the little fox looked at each other and smiled.
Seeing how happy the teacher was, Fang Hui also smiled and said, "Mrs. Meng, I never thought that one day we would be able to come from the same school and meet my junior sister."
"Senior Brother Fang, please take care of me in the future." Magistrate Fang took the initiative to express his kindness. Whether it was sincere or just a show in front of his teacher, Meng Qing continued with a smile.
With the relationship of senior fellow apprentices, this support will naturally become more stable in the future.
Now that he had made up his mind, Meng Qing was willing to take this cup of apprenticeship tea.
"Teacher, please have tea."
Xie Wei achieved his goal and was in a good mood. He took the tea bowl from Meng Qing and took a sip. Maybe because of his good mood, he felt that even the tea was a little more fragrant.
Having just become a disciple, Xie Wei did not put any excessive demands on Meng Qing, but just tested Meng Qing's background.
Meng Qing adhered to the idea of breaking the pot and directly showed his true skills. Seeing the three people's astonishment, Meng Qing secretly laughed in his heart. He drank the apprenticeship tea and wanted to return it, which was impossible.
Secretly I felt that I had won a round, which was a relief.
Of course, Meng Qing also wanted to study hard. After all, the teacher who came to her door would not learn if she did not learn. She was not a fool. She would not do such a thing that would harm others and not benefit herself because she did not study hard just to vent her anger.
The pursuit of maximizing profits is what she will do.
Xie Wei and the other three were indeed shocked by Meng Qing's true level at first. After all, in their eyes, Meng Qing was always a man with ink in his belly. How could they know that his foundation was so poor.
Xie Wei almost suspected that she had seen the wrong person, but she also felt that Meng Qing did not seem like someone who would do this intentionally.
Then this should be Meng Qing's true level. If this is really the case, without systematic education, but with such knowledge and mind, what is this but a genius?
