Sure enough, Meng Zijun came soon. Although he tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, his eyes were full of excitement and excitement. After waiting for so many days, he finally had the chance to see her...
Ye Qingning greeted him with a smile and said politely: "I specially invited cousin Meng to come here today. I want to ask cousin Meng some important things. Please ask cousin Meng to follow us to the side hall, where it will be more convenient to talk."
Meng Zijun agreed without hesitation, his eyes quickly passed over Ye Qinglan's pretty face, and then he tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart. He followed Ye Qingning into the side hall.
Ye Qingning winked at Zhixia, who immediately understood and led all the maids to retreat. Only three people were left in the side hall.
Seeing that Ye Qingning didn't leave, Meng Zijun felt a little disappointed. He immediately cheered up and comforted himself. It was much better than the past few days. Maybe he could catch a glimpse later...
Ye Qingning's voice interrupted Meng Zijun's thoughts: "Cousin Meng, I want to ask you about someone. I wonder if you know him."
Meng Zijun calmed down and responded with a smile: "I don't know anyone here in the capital, so please don't let me make a fool of myself, cousin."
Ye Qingning laughed dumbly: "I specially invited you here, and of course I am not asking people from the capital. What I want to ask is a man named Shen Changan. He was ordered to go to Shandong to suppress bandits. He should have dealt with the government and your father. No.
I know if you know him or not..."
"So you are asking about Brother Shen." Meng Zijun grinned: "Of course I know him. Not only do we know him, but we are very familiar with him."
Not only Ye Qingning, but also Ye Qinglan was a little surprised. Originally, he only planned to use this as an excuse, but he didn't expect that Meng Zijun was familiar with Shen Changan.
"How did you know him?" Ye Qinglan couldn't help but ask quickly.
Meng Zijun could finally look at it openly: "He led a group of soldiers to Shandong to suppress bandits. He had to have a place to stay. The house in the government office was not enough, so he led a few guards to live in my house. Later we became very happy.
We soon became familiar with each other. He was a few years older than me, so I called him Brother Shen. I also followed him to suppress bandits." After a pause, he smiled again: "To be honest, I came to the capital this time.
, it also has something to do with him. He said that my skills and reflexes were good. It would be a pity to stay in Shandong. I should come to the capital, and I would be able to find something suitable for me. I came here as soon as my heart moved."
He also hesitated, but fortunately he finally decided to come to the capital. Otherwise, he would have missed her! Thinking of this, Meng Zijun almost wanted to kiss Shen Changan fiercely!
Those smiling eyes are still as warm as in the memory.
Ye Qinglan felt a pleasant warmth in her heart, and the corners of her lips raised unconsciously: "Cousin Meng, have you ever thought about what you want to do?"
Meng Zijun had obviously thought about it carefully and said with a smile: "Brother Shen will return to the capital in a month or two at most. He said he would go to the Ministry of War to find a position for me. However, I have not passed the military examination.
I don’t have any good positions. I would rather go to the Ministry of Punishments.”
The six departments are the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment. Each of these six departments performs its own duties, supporting and controlling the affairs of the country. Among them, the Ministry of Rites is the most idle, the Ministry of Industry has the lowest status, the Ministry of War is in charge of the world's military, and the Ministry of Personnel is in charge
In the promotion assessment of officials from various places, the Household Department is the busiest and most tedious, but it is also the most lucrative. The Criminal Department is the most special among the six departments. Basically, noble families who claim to be noble are unwilling to let their sons and grandsons join the Criminal Department.
The Criminal Department is actually equivalent to the Public Security Bureau in later generations, responsible for investigating crimes, chasing down murderers, interrogating prisoners, etc. It has to deal with all kinds of prisoners every day. Although there is a lot of money and money, ordinary nobles will never join the Criminal Department.
However, for Meng Zijun, the Criminal Department is definitely the place he wants to go to most.
Ye Qinglan smiled knowingly. Meng Zijun was originally a criminal police officer, and he was good at investigating and handling cases. Even though he was here, he naturally wanted to do his own job. Compared with himself who was timid and did not dare to show off his skills, as a man Meng Zijun is much more convenient. With his ability, it will not be difficult for him to prosper in the Criminal Department in the future.
Ye Qingning didn't know the twists and turns, and couldn't help but said: "The Ministry of Punishment is hard and tiring, and it is easy to offend people. It is better to go to the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Personnel." Of course, the Ministry of War is not much better than the Ministry of Punishment.
Meng Zijun didn’t say much and just smiled.
Ye Qingning wisely stopped continuing the topic and asked, "You just said that Shen Changan will be back soon. Is that true?"
"Of course it's true." Meng Zijun said with a smile: "Before I came to the capital, he was wiping out the last group of bandits. Within a month, this group of bandits will be completely wiped out. It is estimated that as soon as the mission in Shandong is completed , he will rush back to the capital immediately."
Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief quietly. It was good news that Shen Changan was safe and sound, and it was even more unexpected that he could return to the capital in a short time.
Meng Zijun was as attentive as dust, and when he saw the subtle expressions on the two people's faces, his heart suddenly sank, and he asked tentatively: "By the way, how do you know Brother Shen?" Shen Chang'an is a military general, how could he know the girl from the boudoir? And look. The postures of Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan seemed to be quite concerned about Shen Changan...
Ye Qingning naturally refused to tell the truth and responded vaguely: "I have only met him once. Speaking of which, Shi Mei should be more familiar with him."
…
Meng Zijun smiled. How could Ye Qinglan be familiar with Shen Changan? And still care so much about his safety? Could it be that... the sweetheart Shen Changan accidentally revealed after being drunk was Ye Qinglan?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Meng Zijun's heart suddenly became cold. The more he thought about it, the more likely he felt that this was a possibility.
If love hadn't arisen, how could a young girl who had not left the imperial court be so concerned about a man's whereabouts and safety? And be so anxious for him to return to the capital? Shen Chang Ansheng has a majestic appearance and is a young and outstanding military commander with a bright future. Limited edition. Any woman will probably be attracted to a man like this...
Ye Qinglan is the best at observing words and expressions. How could she not notice Meng Zijun's strange expression? She knew that he had misunderstood, but it was difficult to clarify directly. What's more, although she and Shen Changan had nothing to do with each other, she also pretended to have another man in her heart...
These troublesome things will be explained slowly later.
It is a rare opportunity to have such a good opportunity today, so I have to say a few words alone. Ye Qinglan thought for a while, and then whispered to Ye Qingning: "Sixth sister, I want to ask him about Shen Changan alone. I will wait until I meet Xiyu My cousin can also make her happy. Can you stay away for a while?"
Ye Qingning was slightly startled. He wanted to say, "If you have anything to say, just ask me. Why do you want me to avoid it?" But when the words came to his lips, they turned into one word: "Okay."
The tenth sister must have her reasons for doing this. Just stay away for a while.
"You two sit down for a while. I'll come back as soon as I go." Ye Qingning stood up with a smile. Meng Zijun suddenly became energetic and said with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law, there's no need to rush. It doesn't matter if you come back later."
Ye Qingning: "..."
Ye Qinglan glared at Meng Zijun without any trace, and then winked at Ye Qingning. Ye Qingning went out without asking any questions.
After waiting for a few days, I finally got to this moment of being alone.
Meng Zijun no longer had any scruples. He stared at Ye Qinglan's face with scorching eyes and shouted in a low voice: "Qinglan, why are you in this ghost place?"
With just these words, Ye Qinglan felt the urge to burst into tears. There was an indescribable sourness in her heart.
But such an opportunity to be alone is too rare and must not be wasted on unnecessary crying. Therefore, Ye Qinglan quickly restrained his emotions and said quickly: "I don't know what happened. I was shot by a gun at that time.
This little life died at that time. When I opened my eyes, I was here." After a pause, he laughed at himself: "I suddenly became so much smaller, I really made a profit."
Who wants to become a stranger as soon as she opens her eyes? Even if this body is younger and more beautiful than her original self, she is absolutely unwilling! But when God asked her to time travel, he didn't ask her if she was willing. So,
She could only put aside all negative emotions and adapt to her new life as soon as possible.
Meng Zijun felt the same and smiled bitterly: "It's really not easy to adapt to being so many years younger all of a sudden. To be honest, I didn't even dare to look in the mirror at first."
The face in the mirror looks very much like his own self when he was young, but if you take a closer look, you will find that there are many small differences. If this weird soul traveling event had not happened to me, no one would believe it.
.
Ye Qinglan felt sad, but smiled and comforted: "We are both lucky. We have the same name after all, and our appearance has not changed much, so it is easier to accept it. If you become a wretched old man,
Son, what do you want to do?"
This familiar ridicule made Meng Zijun suddenly feel warm in his heart, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "It doesn't matter if you become a bad old man, as long as you also become an old lady with wrinkles."
Ye Qinglan did not dare to look directly into those eyes that contained deep affection, and changed the topic without thinking: "By the way, I haven't had time to ask you, when did you come?"
Seeing that she didn't respond directly to his disguised confession, Meng Zijun felt a little sad and disappointed. He wished he could ask directly, could it be that you have fallen in love with Shen Changan because of the transference? But at this moment, it is not appropriate to say anything about this situation.
With these, I had no choice but to change the topic:
"I've been here for more than a year. When I opened my eyes, I was almost stunned. This Meng Zijun fell off his horse and died on the spot. Somehow, I time-traveled into him. After that, I rested for a long time.
It took me a few months to recover and finally be able to get out of bed and move around." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.
