Chapter 267 Different Angle
Meng Changqing asked: "Mother, do you think this was done inappropriately?"
Wen did not answer directly, but asked about the content of the reply.
"There is only one word for permission." Meng Changqing said.
"Why would you think of asking for such a favor for the soldiers?" Wen asked again.
"I didn't think of it. That day Captain Yang came to ask me. I saw his eager eyes, so I agreed to ask for him." Meng Changqing said frankly, "I also wanted to take this opportunity to see if I can feel at ease when facing me." To what extent.”
Wen Shi nodded clearly, "Do you know now?"
Meng Changqing was stunned when asked, do you know? I don’t seem to know too clearly, “After all, it’s done.”
"You are still unsure in your heart." Wen said: "No matter what a person says, no matter what the other person says or how they get along with each other in the past, as long as one of them is uneasy and always thinking about testing, it is not a good thing.
< br>
This is how people get along with each other, not to mention that the person you want to test your feelings for is someone above the throne.
What promise do you expect from him? Even if he promised you, would you believe it? How long can you believe it? ”
Meng Changqing was silent, "I won't believe it, I will just think it is him testing me in turn."
"Yes." Wen touched Meng Changqing's shoulder, "I know your personality, whether you admit it or not, you are very suspicious.
I'm afraid that you are always struggling between the trust and disbelief of others, which consumes too much of yourself.
Changqing, I have told you these words before.
You also said you would change it.
But it is extremely difficult for people to change, not to mention that the place you want to change is not external or visible to others, so no one can help you change, you can only rely on yourself. ”
Wen Shi put her hand on Meng Changqing's shoulder with more strength, "Expecting others' response will inevitably end in failure."
"So just do your own thing and have a clear conscience." Meng Changqing continued.
Wen Shi nodded and smoothed her messy hair, "Most people can always analyze things clearly and logically when it comes to things that have nothing to do with them, but when it comes to themselves, they will be trapped by emotions or situations. You are So, so am I.”
Meng Changqing could hear something in her words, so he met her eyes and waited for her to continue.
"The older you get, the more guilty and uneasy I feel. Maybe I shouldn't have done that in the first place." There were tears in Wen's eyes, "I relied on you to preserve the family property of the General's Mansion, but I pushed you step by step into this situation. …”
"Mother, you have said this many times." Meng Changqing smiled and said, "My attitude is still the same as before. I thank you for doing that and allowing me to take a completely different path from ordinary women."
The smile on Wen's face was a little forced, "But this road is too hard."
"The reason why walking is so hard is not because I am a woman." Meng Changqing said, "It's just that I don't have the ability now. Mother, if there are challenges in life, it will definitely not be easy, but I am willing to do this." .”
Wen looked at the person in front of her with gentle eyes, "I'm so lucky that you are my child."
At the same time, inside the Maoting Town Station.
Yang Zheng and Qi Renli were standing outside the stables. Both of them were holding fodder for the horses, and they were talking in low voices through the movements of feeding the horses.
"I think the post officer is a little weird." Yang Zheng asked, "Last time you came here, he had the same attitude? Did he also look at you secretly?" Qi Renli thought about it carefully, but when he came back last time, he was too careless and didn't pay attention to anything. , I couldn’t think of anything at the moment, “I didn’t care last time.
Why is he staring at us? We have no conflict with him? Could it be that there is something weird about this inn and we are not allowed to stay there a second time? ”
"Don't think it's so complicated." Yang Zheng said, "There must be reasons for this that we didn't expect. Think about what the person said to you after you came in, and you might be able to think of something."
"The words he said to me were no more than ten sentences in total. They were all ordinary words. How can I think of anything?" Although Qi Renli said this, his mind was already thinking about what happened before.
What did the man say after entering the inn door...
"I understand." Qi Renli suddenly returned to normal volume.
Yang Zheng touched him as a reminder.
Qi Renli lowered his voice again, "He wants to know what I am here for? He asked me twice about this matter." Qi Renli moved closer to Yang Zheng, "He first asked me if I had not found the sericulture person. I told him He found it. This time he came for personal matters, but he asked me again..."
Yang Zheng took a step back, coughed twice, and said in a normal voice: "I say Master Qi, you are the only one who wants to be loyal. He wants to do silk business, and he wants you to come and see it."
Although Qi Renli didn't notice anything, when he heard what Yang Zheng said, he knew that someone must be coming, so he immediately cooperated and said: "It's my fault for mentioning it to him."
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. You are now an official of the imperial court. It is against the rules to do these things in private."
"We are all good friends. If you don't spread the word, there won't be any problems."
Yang Zheng looked around casually and said, "Let's go."
"Who was it just now?" Qi Renli asked.
"The post officer from before."
Qi Renli breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect that I, an eighth-grade county magistrate, would like Yi Cheng's face."
"Of course you have to be careful when wading across the river." Yang Zheng brushed off the grass clippings on his hands, "Be careful at night, why don't I go to your room to sleep too."
"That's fine, thank you, Brother Yang."
I don’t know if that random fabrication had an effect, but nothing happened all night until dawn.
Looking at the post officer again in the morning, he had another enthusiastic face, and Qi Renli no longer felt like he was being stared at.
"What is he afraid of?" Qi Renli left the post house and still couldn't figure it out. As everyone was harnessing their horses and preparing to set off, the post officer chased him out again, "Where are you going, sir? Are you coming back to stay tonight?"
< br>
Qi Renli smiled and said: "Just walk around the street and see which cloth shop is affordable. I will probably come back to stay at night."
"Okay, I'll prepare the food and wait for the adults to come back."
Qi Renli had doubts and felt that everything in this land was strange.
The group of people were some distance away from the post house, and Yang Zhengcai asked: "Shall we go directly to Hongfu Village now?"
"Let's go to a few other cloth villages first." Qi Renli only visited one village last time, and it happened to belong to Zheng Lin's family. He also found the sericulture owner and heard about the difficulties in Hongfu Village.
This time he went to several other cloth shops, firstly to show off, and secondly, he also wanted to hear whether there were different voices from different angles.
