Chapter 36: Ordinary Things
Meng Yuan returned to the palace and walked south to Jingyuan.
What happened today is not a big deal, and Meng Yuan was right, it was not the prince who was hurt, but the servants of the family who suffered.
Therefore, Meng Yuan is not too worried, and Master Nie still has the details.
Of course, this time I completely offended Mr. Liu. But Meng Yuan is confident that his fists are strong and he is not afraid of Mr. Liu's revenge.
When he arrived at Xunmei's office, he asked the maid to send a message before entering.
Xunmei was leaning in front of the case, settling accounts again. When she saw Meng Yuan come in, she casually said to sit down.
Meng Yuan was promoted by her, so she was not polite to Meng Yuan.
"Before noon today, I heard a chant in the school grounds. Was it you who started it?"
Is it the same slogan as raising Deadpool?
This matter had to be admitted, Meng Yuan immediately said: "What was on my mind, I said it out at once, but did it disturb my sister?"
"It's not a quarrel." Xunmei raised her head, looked at Meng Yuan with a smile, and said, "I know you are loyal to the princess, and I also know that you want to do things for the princess. But just keep it in your heart, and there will always be times when you can help in the future. . Don’t lead them to shout slogans in the future, the princess likes purity.”
Sure enough, there is no fool. After all, Xunmei has read books and knows that those words are not right.
"Yes, I listen to Sister Mei." Meng Yuan said.
"By the way, what brings you to my place?" Xunmei leaned over the case again to settle accounts.
"I beat Manager Liu's son in Zuiyue Tower." Meng Yuan said bluntly.
Xunmei was stunned for a moment, then raised her head to look at Meng Yuan, and asked curiously: "Zuiyue Tower? How did you get there?"
"I asked Master Nie to borrow money." Meng Yuan said.
"..." Xunmei rubbed his eyebrows and said seriously: "Didn't I just give you a reward of three hundred taels? The palace doesn't lack food and drink for you, how can I borrow money?"
"After receiving the bounty that day, I treated Master Nie to a meal and spent it all." Meng Yuan said honestly.
"..." Xunmei thought it was outrageous, "Drinking flower wine? Didn't I tell you not to follow Uncle Nie's bad example?"
"No, Master Nie wanted to go, but I sternly refused, so I went to Zuiyue Tower. I didn't know that Meng Huchun was expensive, so I bought several jars and spent all the money." Meng Yuan said.
Xunmei held her forehead, "That's a place where literati and elegant guests go, and the prices are more than twice as high as elsewhere. Uncle Nie is also serious, Zuiyue Building is Nie Qingqing's business, how can you pay for it? He bullied you Be honest!”
Meng Yuan didn't say anything, Quan Dang acquiesced.
"How did you beat Liu He?" Xunmei asked curiously.
Meng Yuan was still honest and treated Nie Qingqing to dinner, the prince wrote poems, and told Liu He about flattery.
"Master Nie taught me martial arts and taught me a lot. His kindness is second only to the princess and my sister. How can I allow others to bully Master Nie's daughter?" Meng Yuan is very upright.
"It's wrong to hit someone. However, what you did is not wrong." Xunmei nodded slightly, his face didn't change much, and he obviously didn't think it was a big deal.
"Sister Mei, then Mr. Liu is from the princess's hometown, how come his son has become the crown prince's attendant? Master Nie taught me that I can only be loyal to the princess with my body and mind, even if the king comes. ." Meng Yuan asked curiously.
"Everyone wants to go to higher places, so we can't force it. We will delay others' future for no reason." Xunmei said with a smile.
When Meng Yuan saw that Xunmei had already said "we", he knew that the matter was done.
Sure enough, Xunmei smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry about this matter. In fact, the prince is the most honest and honest. He has always been obsessed with poetry, calligraphy and painting, and doesn't care about other things."
Meng Yuan heard clearly that this meant that the prince was stupid and would forget about it after a while, but he had to guard against anyone mentioning it around him.
"You can go back to practice martial arts with peace of mind. I'll just stop by later." Xunmei took it directly and said seriously: "If you are short of money again in the future, come and tell me. Also, I know that Uncle Nie values you, so do you. Be close to him, but don’t follow his bad example.”
"Sister Xie Mei." Meng Yuan was sincerely grateful.
Just as he was about to say goodbye, Nie Yannian rushed over from outside.
"You brat, if I don't see you for a while, you'll cause trouble for me again!" Nie Yannian pointed at Meng Yuan as soon as he came in, looking displeased.
"Uncle Nie," Xunmei stood up and said, "He acted righteously for you and Qingqing. He didn't cause trouble for no reason, so there is no need to treat him too harshly."
After Nie Yannian heard this, he glanced at Meng Yuan and said to himself, I really got it right. It has only been a while now, but things have been taken care of.
"Uncle Nie, I'm just going to take care of this matter. It's not a big deal." Xunmei said.
"You have a lot of things to do, let me go!" Nie Yannian immediately refused, "After all, I brought out the people, and it is my responsibility to deal with them."
"That's fine." Xunmei was not pushy, and he was not too strict with Nie Yannian's methods. He obviously knew what Nie Yannian was capable of. After a few polite words, Nie Yannian pulled Meng Yuan out together.
"You kid doesn't want to join in the entertainment scene, you're really underestimating your talents!" Nie Yannian opened his mouth without saying anything nice.
"Master Nie will take me to see him someday." Meng Yuan said with a smile.
"Are you going to go if you can write limericks?" Nie Yannian smiled as he walked away, "Let's go, let's go and settle things."
"Will King Xin intervene?" Meng Yuan was more worried about this issue.
"King Xin is withdrawn and doesn't care about worldly affairs. He doesn't even care about the prince. Don't worry."
Nie Yannian obviously knew a lot about the affairs of the palace, "Let's go find Wang Xiucai, that old Qingke. He is the prince's right-hand man and a good flatterer! Let him help, and things will be done."
"Can a Qingke really get things done?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.
"You say you are ignorant, but you are really knowledgeable. The prince is stupid, and the Qingke around him is there to make him happy, and he also listens to Qingke's words."
Nie Yannian chuckled, "Those Qingke accompany the prince every day to recite poems, enjoy the scenery and make money, and to restrain the prince on the other hand. Do they dare to take the prince to a gambling house or a brothel? King Xin is not stupid. Everyone is watching ! No one will be prepared for such a fool, there is no need to hide his clumsiness, just spend a few money to keep him company, and he will be rich all his life."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I see." Meng Yuan really learned.
"Remember, some things can be solved with swords. But in fact, most things can be solved with money. If you can solve it with money, don't use swords." Nie Yannian reminded him as he walked, "Let's go and give Wang Xiucai some money." , tell them not to mention you before the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince will forget you in the evening!”
"Master Nie, I have no money." Meng Yuan said.
Nie Yannian frowned and asked, "Didn't Xunmei just reward you with three hundred taels of silver?"
You still said it! Meng Yuan laughed.
Nie Yannian also smiled.
The two came to the residence of the crown prince Dugu Kang and met Wang Xiucai, an old Qing guest.
After a few nonsense words, Nie Yannian took out two hundred taels of silver notes very straightforwardly, "These one hundred taels are for my brother to drink tea, and the rest of the brothers will watch the distribution."
"It's easy to say, easy to say." Wang Xiucai did not refuse and accepted it calmly.
The three of them got together outside the prince's garden, and they were very harmonious.
After talking for a long time, without even mentioning Liu He's name, the matter was settled.
After returning to the school grounds, Nie Yannian put his hands behind his back and asked the young people one by one how they were doing. Then he asked everyone to practice, and he asked Meng Yuan to bring a recliner and sit on it cross-legged.
"Master Nie, I want to help you!" Meng Yuan was cash-strapped and sounded like a gangster.
Nie Yannian didn't respond and just asked: "How many acupoints have you opened now?"
Meng Yuan did not hide anything and said directly: "Now the front and back of the trunk and the right arm acupoints are all opened, leaving only 12 points."
When Nie Yannian heard this, he frowned and looked Meng Yuan up and down, then grabbed Meng Yuan's hand and looked at it. After he understood it, he smiled.
"You're really fucking capable!" Nie Yannian chirped, "I remember telling you that a martial artist's rank is more important than money. You should practice martial arts well now, and quickly reach the eighth rank, and I will help you become bigger. Buy and sell! ”
Seeing that there was such a good thing, Meng Yuan quickly agreed.
"The martial arts schools in the city compete for people every spring. This year, there was a Huang Mao who had the most violent quarrel with an old woman. They even started assassinating each other. I have to go and greet you." Nie Yannian stood up, took out two hundred taels of silver notes, and hesitated. It took a while before it was stuffed into Meng Yuan's hand.
His look reminded Meng Yuan of the way Xiang Ling paid for the carriage and horses before.
"I can't coax women, but you can't make money!" Nie Yannian stood up, said proudly, and walked out.
But Meng Yuan refused to let him go and said: "Master Nie, the spring clothes haven't been released yet. Hu Qian and Wu Changsheng have mentioned it to me several times."
"You go take care of these things. I have a lot to do, so I want to focus my energy on martial arts!"
Nie Yannian did not forget to nudge Meng Yuan's nose and said: "The princess will go out for an outing in a few days. If you can enter the eighth grade, I will take you to meet the princess!"
Meng Yuan had always heard that the princess was beautiful and fragrant, but after cutting her balls for so long and practicing knife skills for so long, he still couldn't see her. He didn't expect that this opportunity would come.
When Nie Yannian saw that Meng Yuan remained silent, he instead smoothed his sleeves and looked like he was going to do something big, as if he was going to risk his life to protect the princess, and he seemed to be practicing his craftsmanship.
