Not to mention Songxingxue, in the end it was mortgage or washing dishes.
Ding Xiaoyi had already arrived at the Hubu Yamen where he had made an appointment with Pangpang.
It is said to be the Hubu Yamen, but the building is much grander than the Yama Palace. There are eighty-eight steps in front of the gate, which is enough for people to look up at.
Not to mention, on the steps, there are two sapphire-carved doors, with dragons and phoenixes coiling around them, so bright and beautiful that it is daunting.
The two of them were not in a hurry, and sat here waiting. After Ding Xiaoyi asked, he found out that the Ministry of Household Affairs was still Po Meng's territory.
"Do you mean that Mrs. Meng is in charge of the household department?" Ding Xiaoyi sat on the steps below and asked Pangpang.
Pangpang nodded: "Yes, otherwise do you think Po Meng really just gives people soup?"
Meng Po is in charge of Naihe Bridge and also has the title of general manager of the household department.
Although it is just an inconspicuous Hubu Yamen, the Hubu Yamen leads directly to the reincarnation palace of the empress. Speaking of it, it can be as small as the City of Waste to Death or as large as the huge underworld. Every inch and every foot of the land belongs to the empress.
So rather than saying it is a household department, it is better to say it is a rent collection office set up by the empress.
As he said that, Pangpang took the jar of good wine he handed him and after a swig, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"This wine is okay, but the taste is average. If this guy invites you to drink, can't he go to a higher-end place?"
"I also think it's average. I asked for forty altars and three tables, but I only asked for three ghost notes. If I had known better, I would have changed to another hotel. Maybe he was too poor."
Ding Xiaoyi curled his lips, feeling that Song Xingxue was a bit too stingy.
"Then are you sure you want to trade with him?"
"It's hard to say, I want to think about it."
Regarding this transaction, Song Xingxue showed enough sincerity, except for a private base form hidden everywhere by the Tong family.
There is also a photo, which is actually a stone tablet, and it is completely different from the stone tablet in my hand.
Song Xingxue's request is that once Wang Gouzi comes to him, he must take him with him to find the so-called eternal place.
Although I don’t know how this guy knew about Wang Gouzi.
But the stone tablet in the photo brought great attraction to Ding Xiaoyi.
After carefully comparing the stone tablets in my hand, I found that the words on the two stone tablets were the same, but the things recorded were different.
Unfortunately, I can't recognize the handwriting on it and don't know what is written on it. I plan to contact Wang Gouzi when I get back and ask him to identify the authenticity of the stone tablet in the photo.
Let’s wait and see what Wang Gouzi means.
While the two were chatting, they heard the front door of the household department open behind them.
"Brother Xiaoyi!!"
A familiar shout came. Ding Xiaoyi and Pangpang looked back and saw Chai Rong standing outside the gate, looking at them with surprise on their faces.
"Hey, sister Rong, why are you still here?"
Ding Xiaoyi's eyes lit up and he felt very surprised.
But then I thought about it, it was right. Since Meng Po was in charge of the household department, it was natural for Chai Rong to be in the household department as Meng Po's young apprentice.
"Brother Xiao Yi, I just came back from the Empress's Reincarnation Palace. I saw Da Tou, and I guessed that you must not be too far away. I didn't expect to see you as soon as I went out."
Chai Rong walked down the steps and said to Ding Xiaoyi.
"How's Big Head doing?"
When Ding Xiaoyi heard that Chai Rong had actually seen Datou, he hurriedly asked.
Chai Rong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she saw that the first time he opened his mouth was to ask about Datou.
But he immediately replied: "It's okay. The queen said it was okay to cause trouble, but her original intention was good, so she punished it to clean the pigsty. After cleaning, it's time to come out."
“Cleaning the pigsty??”
Hearing this, he immediately became displeased. When Datou usually served her, he would run around, pinch her legs and rub her shoulders. He had never been lazy in any way, but he was actually punished to clean the pig pen? This is too unethical.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Chai Rong knew the reason and hurriedly said: "Brother Xiao Yi, don't get me wrong. Although cleaning the pigsty is a hard job, it is also a good job that no one else can compete for. It's your mother's pigsty.
Did someone else just enter it casually?"
What he said seemed to mean something.
Ding Xiaoyi and Pangpang unconsciously touched the bridge of their noses and looked around.
Isn't that right? Of course, you can't enter the empress's pigsty casually, especially the bald man next to you.
A Wufu Pig was lost last time, and I don’t know how many people in the Reincarnation Hall were implicated.
Nowadays, there are only a handful of people who want to be able to enter the pigsty.
Pangpang didn't know what was coming to his mind, so he stepped forward and whispered: "Sister Ronger, let's take a look. There's not even a stool here. Why don't you take us in and take a look."
Rong'er had obviously been warned by Po Meng a long time ago that even if she let a dog in, she couldn't let Pangpang in.
Although I don’t know why, when I thought of my master’s instructions, I immediately shook my head like a rattle and said, “This is not okay, my master will scold me if he knows it.”
Seeing that he couldn't do it, Pangpang could only look back at Ding Xiaoyi, blinked his eyelids, and signaled: "Come on!"
Ding Xiaoyi knew that Pangpang was worried about Xiao Jiujiu, but he was embarrassed to put Chai Rong in danger, but he really couldn't worry about it.
In the entanglement, Chai Rong saw through the two people's thoughts at a glance, covered her mouth and chuckled: "You two, stop acting for me. It won't be difficult for me to take you in, but..."
Pangpang didn't wait for Chai Rong to finish, and rushed in front of her and said: "Okay, okay... Don't worry, sister, he has taken a bath today and is clean."
Chai Rong blushed, knowing that Pangpang was not serious, so she spat at him: "Thank you for being a monk, I just want to ask for your help and see my master."
"Mother Meng??" Pangpang was startled.
Chai Rong nodded and said, "Yes, my master has been acting strange recently. I'm worried about something happening to her. Can you help me check it out?"
Chai Rong talked about Po Meng, her face full of worry.
Pangpang's expression also became serious: "Okay, let's go take a look."
Seeing Pangpang agree, Chai Rong immediately showed joy on her face and turned around with Ding Xiaoyi and Pangpang towards the door of the household department.
After passing through the gate, it is not the beautiful buildings and jade buildings in my imagination, but a plum forest that looks like a fairyland.
Pink plum blossoms are in bloom, and sandalwood overflows far away. Before you get close to the tree, you are greeted by bursts of dark fragrance.
Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his mouth was immediately filled with fragrance, feeling relaxed and happy.
The two of them followed into the depths of the plum forest and met Po Meng in a thatched hut.
Ding Xiaoyi and Pangpang were immediately shocked when they saw Po Meng. They saw Po Meng sitting on a big stone in front of the thatched house with a dull face.
He has a head full of white hair, disheveled on his shoulders.
He's usual solemn and meticulous demeanor is completely different.
"Is this old woman suffering from dementia?"
Pangpang tried to step forward and take a closer look. He couldn't help frowning and turned back to Chai Rong: "Has she been stimulated by anything recently?"
Chai Rong shook her head and said with red eyes: "I don't know. It's just that after I came back last time, my mother-in-law walked to the Reincarnation Hall at the back in a rage, and that's what happened when she came back. I asked my maids, but they didn't say anything.
"
Hearing this, Ding Xiaoyi and Pangpang looked at each other.
The two of them seemed to understand something, and they avoided Chai Rong's tearful eyes with a guilty conscience.
Ding Xiaoyi pulled Pangpang over and said, "Isn't it because the empress beat me stupidly?"
Based on what Meng Po said in front of everyone at Chaimu's new residence, it is estimated that this matter has something to do with the empress.
"Nonsense. Your Majesty's actions are not so light or serious. The most you can do is teach me a lesson."
"Then what do you think is going on??"
"Let me take a look and talk about it later."
After the two of them lowered their heads and muttered for a while, Pangpang walked up to Po Meng and took a closer look at Po Meng.
I saw him take out a mirror from his arms, which looked like a mirror.
But the material is not bronze but jade.
I saw Pangpang put the mirror on the back of Po Meng's head, and a mirror light flashed out, shining in front of the three of them.
Suddenly the white fog in the mirror light gradually began to become clearer.
A portal appeared in front of the three people.
"This is Po Meng's current memory. This old woman is uneasy. She is afraid that her soul has been trapped in there for a while and she will not be able to come out. You go in and have a look and try to wake up her soul. You can probably wake up."
"Go in? Enter into Po Meng's head??" Ding Xiaoyi looked at the door in front of him and hesitated for a moment.
But Pangpang assured the two of them: "Don't worry, I will be outside to guide you and there will be no problems."
Seeing Pangpang patting his chest in assurance, Ding Xiaoyi no longer hesitated. Mainly because he looked at the worried look on his sister Chai Rong's side and was too embarrassed to let her go in by herself.
After all, this matter has nothing to do with their gambling pit.
After seeing the two of them agree, Pangpang blew lightly, and a wisp of breeze blew in, making the two of them feel dizzy.
They felt as if they had been pushed, followed by the feeling of stepping into the air, and the two subconsciously opened their eyes to take a look.
But seeing the green bricks, green tiles, and white-walled paths in front of me, I no longer knew where I was.
At this time, they heard Pangpang's voice quietly reaching their ears:
"You have now entered Mrs. Meng's consciousness. Relax, don't be nervous, be natural, don't mess around, and follow the dream in front of you, otherwise you will be excluded by her subconscious mind."
The two of them nodded in understanding, and then Ding Xiaoyi suddenly heard Pangpang's voice transmission.
"Boy, this opportunity is rare, please delay for more time."
He was stunned when he heard this, with no expression on his face, but in his heart he couldn't laugh or cry and asked: "Don't tell me that you are going to steal Po Meng's underwear."
This was just a joke, but Chuangpang responded seriously:
"Screw you, this old woman never wears underwear... Hey, this is still the year of birth."
Ding Xiaoyi suddenly felt a chill after hearing this.
At this time, Chai Rong suddenly saw a familiar figure from behind. Her eyes lit up and she took Ding Xiaoyi's hand and said, "Look, where is my mother-in-law!"
The two of them walked up and took a look, but they were stunned. Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but widened his eyes and said: "Are you sure, this is your master? Po Meng??"
