After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 323
Zhao Shun still poured tea for Meng Jin himself, and privately he still had the attitude of a junior.

Meng Jin's gaze gradually became gentle, and he looked at Zhao Shun carefully.

Zhao Shun pushed the tea to Meng Jin's hand, seeing that Meng Jin looked at him with special eyes, he looked around at himself.

"Master Meng, is there something wrong with your lower body?"

Meng Jin waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not wrong, drink tea."

The two of them each took a sip of tea, their mouths fragrant.

Meng Jin put down his glass, and asked with a natural expression: "Before we get down to business, I have a personal question for Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao can answer it if he wants to, and it's fine if he doesn't want to."

"Excuse me, my lord." Zhao Shun said while sitting.

Meng Jin looked directly into Zhao Shun's eyes, and said, "I think Mr. Zhao is very charismatic. Why are you willing to be the regent's minion? With your intelligence, even if you don't vassalize the party, you should have some achievements."

Zhao Shun knew about the relationship between Meng Jin and Yuwenji. Although Meng Jin was kind to him, he still had to guard against this being a temptation from Yuwenji.

Looking at the steaming tea, Zhao Shun said calmly, "Actually, I am an official, and I just want to do something for the people. As for why I am loyal to the Regent, it is actually because the tree is big enough to enjoy the shade."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Meng Jin and Zhao Shun looked at each other, and they couldn't see the slightest dodge. They looked at each other and smiled, and skipped this topic tacitly.

"It was just a small curiosity of this officer. Mr. Zhao has never heard of it as an officer. Let's talk about the business."

"Master Meng please general."

Meng Jin took out a memorial, which was sent from Cangzhou in the north. At first, the memorial was sent to the court, but it was thrown aside by Yu Wenji.

Later, the state capital of Cangzhou waited for a long time for a reply, so it pinned its hopes on an old friend Meng Jin.

"This is the report of the snow disaster in Cangzhou. The official reported it to the regent today, but he dismissed it dismissively."

Meng Jin gently pushed forward according to the memorial, and that was all he had said, it was Zhao Shun's business to see it or not.

If Zhao Shun didn't want to wade into the muddy water, he wouldn't force it. Meng Jin knew that what he could do was limited, so he did his best and obeyed the destiny.

Zhao Shun opened the memorial without hesitation, then frowned.

After reading the whole story, Zhao Shun looked up at Meng Jin, "Master Meng, do you want me to report to His Royal Highness the Regent again?"

Meng Jin nodded, "I know this will be harmful to you, but this matter is related to the safety of tens of thousands of people affected by the disaster, so I have no choice but to bite the bullet and come to you, the celebrity in front of the regent."

The memorial in his hand was a hot potato, Zhao Shun knew it well.

If he had a clean background, he would also want to go to Yu Wenji for advice, but Zhao Shun knew he couldn't.

After closing the memorial, Zhao Shun pushed the memorial back.

"My lord Meng, there is an ancient saying that a good time is for choosing the master. Before I turn to the regent, I have naturally found out his character. No matter who it is, I can't touch his etiquette. If I advise you, it will be no different. I'm in a cocoon, so I'm sorry."

Meng Jin probably guessed that this was the result, so he sighed quietly and put the memorial into his arms.

"It's okay, it's a difficult situation for the official. If you want Yuwenji to allocate funds for disaster relief, it's tantamount to growing vegetables in the snow."

Depressed, Meng Jin drank the remaining half bowl of hot tea and got up to leave.

Zhao Shun rubbed his fingertips and said slowly: "I will think of a way at this time, and if there is a follow-up, I will definitely inform Lord Meng as soon as possible."

"Well, Mr. Zhao is so troublesome, I will leave first."

The sky had just cleared up for a day, and snowflakes like goose feathers fell again. Zhao Shun just stopped at the door for a moment, and a layer of white was sprinkled on the cloak.

Er Gou drove the carriage over and quickly helped Zhao Shun into the carriage.

The maroon horse exhaled hot air from its nostrils, and its iron hooves stepped on the snow, leaving crescent-shaped marks one after another.

Shen Xian cooked a hot pot at home, waiting for Zhao Shun to come back.

Compared to the usual spiciness, this time Shen Xian cooks for a long time, and made a pot of bone broth.

In the long winter, it is really comfortable to drink something warm.

Before serving the dishes, Shen Xian secretly tasted a spoonful of bone broth, which was very delicious.

After Liu Qing received the monthly payment at the end of the year, it was rare to see him come back to eat. A scholar has the character of a scholar, and even friends are unwilling to eat and drink for free at the house all the time.

The people in the side hall were pushed away, as soon as Shen Xian looked up and saw Zhao Shun came back, he bounced to Shen Xian's side.

"Sir, do you miss me today?"

"Of course I thought about it." Zhao Shun stretched out his hand to scratch Shen Xian's qiong nose, causing Shen Xian to be dissatisfied for a while, showing his sharp little canine teeth.

The two got bored for a while, then Shen Xian ordered Yuechan to invite Gu Lanshu over for dinner.

After waiting for a while, Yuechan came back and told Shen Xian that Gu Lanshu was tired of eating too many desserts today, so she won't have dinner.

Shen Xian felt uneasy, so she went to see and forget Gu Lanshu.

"Mother, I heard that you are tired of eating today, and your stomach feels uncomfortable."

Gu Lanshu's eyes dodged, and she stretched out her hand to fiddle with the hair beside her ears in a panic.

"Actually, it's nothing. Just eat by yourself, don't worry about me."

Suspicion appeared in Shen Xian's eyes, but he didn't get to the bottom of it.

After leaving Gu Lanshu's Lanfang, Shen Xian sat at the dinner table with Zhao Shun thoughtfully.

"It's not right, something is wrong with my mother."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Shun put a large piece of pork ribs in Shen Xian's bowl.

Shen Xian recalled Gu Lanshu's actions just now and said: "My mother acted very flustered, and even applied light rouge and gouache on her face..."

Zhao Shun was silent for a moment after hearing the words, then tapped Shen Xian's head with his knuckles.

"Don't think about it, eat well."

"Oh." Shen Xian felt aggrieved, and responded with a grievance.

Seeing that Shen Xian was pretending, Zhao Shun chuckled, reached out and rubbed her head, and the two of them became tired again.

Shen Xian served Zhao Shun a bowl of hot soup, and said with a cheerful expression: "By the way, Mr. Yan, I'm discussing a big event with Mr. Yan today?"

Zhao Shun was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is the family short of money?"

Shen Xian also froze for a moment, "Why do you say that?"

Zhao Shun pondered for a moment and said: "Because every time the family has no money, you will work hard and find various ways to make money."

"Hmm..." Shen Xian recalled the past carefully, it seemed like this was the case.

"It's different this time, Mr. Yan said today that there are no petals in winter, so you can't make perfume..."

Zhao Shun drank the soup while listening, and didn't feel anything.

Until Shen Xian...

"So I thought of a way to grow flowers in winter."

As soon as Shen Xian finished speaking, Zhao Shun was choked by the soup in his mouth and coughed for a while.

"Cough cough...cough cough..."

Zhao Shun wiped the bone soup from his mouth indiscriminately, looked at Shen Xian in surprise, did this kind of thing come up as soon as he thought it out?
