Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 451 Special

Mo Li smiled and nodded. She was about to say something when she saw Meng Changqing looking towards the study. Before she could speak, Meng Changqing said, "Miss Mo, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

"Yes." Mo Lixiao could only watch her leave.

Seeing his young lady like this, Xiaojun speculated, "Did this servant cause trouble for you?"

"What do you mean?" Mo Lixiao didn't understand.

"Master Meng is avoiding you like this. Did what I said before reach Master Meng's ears?"

Mo Lixiao was silent for a moment, remembering that she was standing in the courtyard of the front yamen. The yamen runners were walking around, and she was really an eyesore here. "Go back to your room and pack your things."

Xiaojun followed behind anxiously, carefully observing Mo Lixiao's expression along the way. Seeing that she could not hide her loneliness, she apologized again after entering the room, "Miss, it is my fault."

"Lord Meng has never been disrespectful to me. When I met him today, there were no elders around him. He kept his distance from me, which is what a gentleman does."

"But..." Xiaojun hesitated and said, "Didn't Lord Meng invite you here? But since you came, he has only seen you a few times."

"What invitation? It was Lord Meng who took me in out of kindness." Mo Lixiao frowned and said a few words. Perhaps it was too annoying to discuss such things with people around him. The more he spoke, the more helpless he felt. "Lord Meng has done me a favor. How can you say it like Meng Changqing has done me a favor?"

"Miss, please don't be angry." Xiaojun quickly apologized, "It was my fault that I said something wrong."

"No." Mo Li said with a smile, "Although I appreciate you being willing to stay with me, you don't understand what I'm thinking at all."

When Xiaojun heard this, she immediately knelt down and said, "Miss, it was my fault. Please don't chase me away..." Before she could finish her words, Mo Lixiao held her arm and without saying anything, he just lifted her up with all his strength.

"I'm not trying to drive you away." Mo Li smiled and looked directly into Xiao Jun's eyes, "I just hope you can understand me a little bit."

Seeing this, Xiaojun asked tentatively: "Isn't it because of Master Meng that I see you are unhappy?"

Mo Li smiled and sighed, "I am doing this for myself. I have been in Beishan County for some time. Apart from doing what Madam Meng asked me to do, I don't know what else I can do."

Xiaojun listened to Mo Lixiao's words and tried to understand her. "I saw several women running shops on Xing'an Street. We have much more capital than them. Why don't we hire someone to open a shop so that the young lady can kill time."

Meng Changqing shook his head and rejected it, "Business can be done anywhere." Then he added: "I always feel that Beishan County has something that is obviously different from other places. Although I haven't figured it out yet, I intuitively feel that this thing is precious.

Perhaps understanding this is exactly why Lord Meng asked me to come here."

The next day, Meng Changqing caught Qi Renli, and the two sat face to face to check the accounts of various departments in the county government.

Qi Renli looked up at the candlelight and burst into tears. Seeing this, Meng Changqing couldn't bear to continue to pressure him, "That's it for today, we can continue tomorrow."

"No." Qi Renli quickly went to the door and wiped his face. "I have to go to the village tomorrow. There's not much left. Let's finish it."

"Then you take a break first and walk around the yard twice." Meng Changqing called Bafang, "Light two more candles high up."

"Hey."
