Chapter 29 Reward
It was already evening when we returned to the palace.
"The credit can't go away. It's the same with going to Xunmei tomorrow." Nie Yannian wanted to go back and sleep, but Meng Yuan stopped him and refused to let him go.
"Shouldn't the first thing you do when you come back from a business trip be to make a business trip?" Meng Yuan was thinking about the credit.
Nie Yannian tapped Meng Yuan's nose angrily, "Sometimes he is quite smart, and sometimes he is as anxious as a young brother!"
"I am Brother Chu." Meng Yuan said sincerely.
Nie Yannian lost his temper and took Meng Yuan to find Mei.
The princess' residence was called Jingyuan, and Xunmei lived next to Jingyuan.
Although the folk customs of the Qing Dynasty are strong and fierce, the princess is a female family member after all, so most of the people who come and go around the quiet garden are maids.
"The Jingyuan was built by the princess in memory of her late father. It is most elegant and quiet, and is a good place to study." Nie Yannian did not forget to mention, "Our princess loves reading and has countless books in her collection. Several of her capable maids also follow the same example. So you are really scratching your head by asking Mei to borrow books.”
"Master Nie, I borrow books to seek knowledge, to clear up doubts, to understand things, and nothing else." Meng Yuan said.
"That's what I like about you, kid. You're so thick-skinned yet so shameless." Nie Yannian said.
Meng Yuan didn't say much more. Anyway, ever since Zhang Guinian mentioned Master Nie's daughter, he had been ridiculing her non-stop.
Of course, they were right. Meng Yuan was indeed thick-skinned and shameless.
When he arrived at Xunmei's residence, he asked the maid to inform him, and then Xunmei came out to greet him in person.
"Uncle Nie." Xunmei greeted Nie Yannian as a junior. This shows that Nie Yannian's statement that he used to hang out with the princess's brother did have some background.
"How are you doing, Princess?" Nie Yannian was very casual and looked like he was talking to a junior.
"Everything is fine." Xunmei smiled.
After entering the living room and serving hot tea, Nie Yannian asked Meng Yuan to report the trip to the medicine store.
Meng Yuan didn't hide anything, he said everything.
"I heard that there are most Buddhist demons in the West, but all the demons who take form practice Buddhism, but I never thought that they would come here." Xunmei looked at Meng Yuan, and saw that Meng Yuan was a little more brave and calm, which showed that he was indeed Saw bloody ones.
"We can't control this matter. There are many branches of Buddhism, and there are also many weird ones. Anyway, the Demon Suppression Department is responsible for it. This matter will give them a headache." Nie Yannian didn't want to go into details. He nodded at Meng Yuan and said: "This boy has made a great contribution and wants to take back the family members of Mu Village. You can make arrangements for him."
"This is easy to handle." Xunmei smiled and immediately wrote a note to Meng Yuan, saying: "You are a guard when you are admitted, and your family members should not do any more hard work. Even if you don't mention it, I would have planned to pick them up. Returning to the palace. You go to Mu Village tomorrow and give the note to Sun. Zhuangtou, bring your family back. As for the residence, there is an empty yard next to the school grounds. I will help people clean it up later. You can stay here for now. I remember that Jiang Shuan is a veterinarian, so I will take care of the palace for the time being. Horses.”
Xunmei looked at Meng Yuan with a smile. She did not expect that this little young master actually had a talent for martial arts. He became a first-class martial artist in less than two months, and he also had the experience of killing and capturing demons.
That's not all, this person is simple and calm, he can endure loneliness and practice hard, he is also motivated, and he knows that reading more books can gain knowledge.
And it can also be seen that Nie Yannian is very supportive of this young man. He clearly loves his talents and wants to teach him as a successor.
If this kind of people are given good guidance in the future and do not go astray, they will definitely be promising.
Not to mention, this young man was brought up by himself, so Gu Xunmei was willing to give him more preferential treatment, not only to reunite his family members, but also to arrange a place to live.
Moreover, the position of guard is special. It is related to the peace of the princess and is close to the princess. Therefore, the guard needs to be done by someone who knows the basics and needs to be treated more favorably than other positions.
"Sister Xie Mei!" Meng Yuan sincerely thanked her.
Since I entered the palace a few years ago, it is now early February. Meng Yuan promised Jiang Tang at that time that he would bring her grandson and grandson to live in the city within half a year, and now it has been done in less than two months.
"You borrowed the history books to read, did you get anything out of it?" Xunmei didn't mention the reward of silver, but instead smiled and chatted.
"Historical books are full of deeds of ancient people, princes and generals. I just watched the excitement and couldn't understand any big principles. However, in the silence of the night, I saw a sentence from those vast and dense characters." Meng Yuan said seriously.
"What are you talking about?" Xunmei asked curiously.
Nie Yannian also pricked up his ears, planning to see how Meng Yuan could fool people.
"This sentence is that in life, loyalty and filial piety should be the foundation of life."
Meng Yuan was very sincere, "Master Nie taught me martial arts, which is why I am where I am today. Of course I am grateful for Master Nie's kindness. But tracing back to the origin, it is the support of the princess. If it were not for the support of the princess, I would still be raising pigs and goats in the pastoral village. .”
Having said this, Meng Yuan paused for a moment, then continued: "Of course, there is nothing wrong with being a pig or a sheep. They all work for the princess, but being a guard in the palace will open up a lot more."
< br>
Among the four words of propriety, justice, integrity and shame, Meng Yuan only occupied the word "loyalty".
Nie Yannian clapped his hands and said in a neutral tone: "Okay, okay."
"You are a good reader of history books. You are good at reading the principles of loyalty and filial piety!" >
She immediately wrote another note, stamped it, handed it to Meng Yuan, and said: "The princess treats us the most kindly. According to the rules, as a palace guard, in addition to Yueyin, there are other assignments for official duties. If you are injured, you can also take care of yourself." Silver. You captured two demons and killed one. Take the note and pay it to Gou's accountant."
"Sister Xie Mei." Meng Yuan took it with satisfaction. The money could not only buy Jiang Yatou some new clothes, but also enough to eat meat every day.
After serving Xunmei comfortably, Meng Yuan and Nie Yannian took their leave. "If you were going to be a pretty boy, you'd be damned already!" Nie Yannian sighed immediately after leaving Xunmei's residence.
Meng Yuan pretended that he didn't understand and took Nie Yannian to go to Gou's accountant.
After getting Xunmei's note in exchange for three silver notes, Meng Yuan took out two and gave them to Nie Yannian.
"What do you mean?" Nie Yannian frowned, but he was somewhat righteous.
"If it weren't for Master Nie, I wouldn't have received the silver reward. Not to mention that Master Nie taught me martial arts and helped me many times." Meng Yuan was very sincere.
"You worked hard to get this, how can I ask for it?" Nie Yannian waved her hand and refused, "Besides, you have to support a young daughter-in-law, and you have to spend money on everything, so I can't ask for it."
Meng Yuan carefully discerned Master Nie's tone, and when he saw the sincerity of the master, he saw the virtuous man and thought to himself that you are no worse than I was when I met Xunmei.
"Without Master Nie, there would be no me. You have to accept this money." Meng Yuan simply handed over the three banknotes.
"No, no, I don't want junior's money." Nie Yannian refused.
"Master Nie, if you don't accept it, I won't dare to go on business with you anymore!"
"This is the silver reward given to you by the princess, what does it mean to me?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
“What’s mine belongs to Master Nie!”
The two bitches built the archway higher than the sky, and started pushing and shoving each other. People who didn't know it thought they were kind teachers and filial piety disciples.
"Then let's go have a meal first. The spring river fish is not considered fat, but the steamed fish in Zuiyue Tower has a unique flavor." Meng Yuan healed his scar and did not forget the pain. The wine care incident was still in front of him, but he still invited Master Nie Let's go together, planning to be tricked by the father and daughter again.
Although he had earned the three hundred taels of silver through his own efforts, in the end it was Master Nie who supported him, so it was appropriate to give some to his daughter.
Last time I was tricked by accident, but this time I was tricked willingly.
Of course, if you can steal some more effort from Master Nie, that will be another profit.
Nie Yannian had no intention of taking care of his daughter's business. He just said: "You have made a fortune, so just invite me to listen to music! It won't cost much for the two of us!"
"Master Nie, I will never go to that kind of place!" Meng Yuan refused very firmly, not because he really wanted to keep himself clean, but because he was worried about spending too much money.
When Nie Yannian saw Meng Yuan acting like a Taoist defender, he laughed and praised: "After reading two shabby books, my knowledge has not improved much. I have learned all the tricks of hypocrites and fake Taoism! Don't let me catch you secretly doing it by yourself." Go whoring!”
The two of them came to Zuiyue Tower talking nonsense.
When the beautiful shopkeeper saw Meng Yuan coming again, she smiled and gave her a blessing.
Meng Yuan looked upright, said nothing, only nodded slightly, looking like a gentleman.
Climb up to the second floor and sit by the river. Looking down at the river below, Meng Yuan pours wine diligently.
"Shangmeng Huchun!" When Nie Yannian saw Meng Yuan urging him to drink, he immediately pushed him away.
What is Meng Hu Chun? Meng Yuan is a bumpkin and doesn't understand at all.
Nie Yannian clapped his hands, and a young boy came closer and called him Master Nie.
"Two pots of dream lake spring!" Nie Yannian stretched out two fingers.
It turns out to be wine! This time I am really serving as a wine supporter! Master Nie, you really put a lot of effort into your daughter’s business!
Meng Yuan was in need of help, and he had already planned to spend the three hundred taels, so he didn't ask about the price.
"The wine jug is too small, bring two jars! And change the wine bowls! Big bowls!" Meng Yuan looked like a nouveau riche.
Nie Yannian was picking up vegetables, but he put down his chopsticks after hearing this. He really planned to go back to his old ways, but the young man in front of him looked like he was just lying down and letting himself be slaughtered. He didn't resist at all, which made it feel like a money trap. .
"Master Nie, when are you going to teach me something again?" Meng Yuan changed the bowl to a larger one, and after three bowls of wine, he revealed his true colors, "I was thinking, the main purpose of the Guangfeng Sword Technique is to be fast, but it lacks the strength. Can you teach me another set of direct and powerful sword techniques?”
Now Meng Yuan has tasted the feeling of holding a knife in his hand for the first time, so he needs to make the knife sharper and learn more things to stand more firmly!
"You can think of this, it shows that you are not an idiot who just works hard!" Nie Yannian praised, and then continued: "But you haven't mastered the Guangfeng Sword Technique yet, so don't be greedy. Wait for more acupuncture points to be opened. , I will teach you the technique of wielding a sword, and I will keep you within the same level!”
"There's no need to wait any longer, let's talk now." Meng Yuan saw Master Nie blushing after drinking, and became even more enthusiastic in persuading him to drink.
Nie Yannian touched his chin, seeing how attentive the young man was, and thought to himself, I'm just going to cheat you a few bucks for fun, but you actually want to get me drunk so you can steal my wealth?
"Master Nie, let's talk. If I don't listen to Master Nie's teachings for a day, I will feel uncomfortable all over!" Meng Yuan poured the wine vigorously, clapped his hands again, and summoned the boy, "Two more bowls! Remember, this Master Nie will be here in the future. Come and eat, all the expenses will be on my account!”
This is my daughter’s shop. There’s no charge for meals, and it’s still on your account? Do you know me?
Nie Yannian frowned. He wanted to be reserved, but he saw Meng Yuan holding a wine bowl and stuffing it into his face, looking like he was trying to make someone drunk.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you!" Nie Yannian couldn't stand it anymore and kept sighing, "Damn it, I finally know why a martyr girl is afraid of stalking a man!"
