Chapter 352: Finding a New Golden Leg

He thought so in his heart, chuckled, and said: "Miss, you are right, I am rude."

Huang Ying'er: "Tell me your home address and I'll go and notify your family."

The man closed his eyes and took out a red scarf from his waist. "No need to look for my family. Hang this belt somewhere conspicuous in the house, and my followers will find you."

Huang Ying'er blinked.

Sure enough, this person is not simple.

Since he didn't want to reveal his identity, she would not take the initiative to find out.

After all, the more you know, the faster you die.

She doesn't want to cause trouble.

After all, her brain capacity is only suitable for eating, drinking, having fun and retiring early, and she doesn't want to get involved in intrigue.

She just wants to live a quiet and comfortable life with some money.

"Okay, I'll help you hang it up right away." Huang Ying'er took the towel and left the room.

The speed was as fast as a fleeing rabbit, without any hesitation.

Capital city.

After breakfast, Wen Yan washed and dressed herself, wrapped herself up like a ball of fur, and rode towards the Meng family.

When she arrived at the Meng family, she learned from the housekeeper that Meng Xiyan was on duty last night and had not left the yamen yet.

Wen Yan asked curiously, "Brother Xi Yan is now the prefect of Jinyang and a civil servant. Why is he working in the Palace Front Office again?"

The official said, "It's not the Palace Guards, it's the City Guards. There's been a severe snowstorm lately, and they've been too busy to handle it. They just asked the eldest son to go and help out the other day."

The Palace Guards were specifically responsible for guarding the imperial palace, while the City Guards were specifically responsible for guarding the capital.

"I see. So when can he come back?"

"It's time to leave the government office. I should be back soon."

"Then I'll go to Chi Fei's yard and wait for him. When Brother Xi Yan comes back, please let me know."

"Okay, Miss Wen Yan, please come in." The butler responded with a smile.

"Uncle Wei, I have restored my biological parents' surname. My name is Liu Wenyan now."

Wei Bo nodded repeatedly.

The city guards’ office.

When Meng Xiyan was about to leave the office, he handed over his shift to his colleagues.

My colleague stamped his feet and blew on his hands: "This damn weather is so cold!"

"It snowed all night last night, so it's normal for the temperature to drop today." Meng Xiyan said as he started to put on his coat.

A cloak, gloves, and a hat.

The colleague was surprised and said, "Brother Meng, this fur coat of yours is from Tianyi Cloth Shop, right?

The fur coats at Tianyi Cloth Shop are in short supply.

A cloak of your quality is worth more than gold, and money can’t buy it.”

Ying Zhilin suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, raised his eyebrows complacently, and snorted disdainfully: "Can the things in Tianyi Cloth Shop be compared with mine?

The cloak, gloves and hat I am wearing were all made for me by my sister.

The cloak is made of the finest wolfskin."

After saying this, he raised his feet again and said, “These boots are made of sheepskin with short fur inside.

During the blizzard days, when the temperature dropped sharply, I didn’t feel cold wearing it.”

Colleague: "..."

It turns out this guy wanted to show off his sister.

Someone joked with him, "Chi Fei can't even hold a needle steadily. When did he learn such delicate needlework?"

"Humph! I have more than one sister. This was done by my stepsister. Chi Fei, my parents, and I each have our own set."

Other colleagues were jealous: "Having a stepsister is so great! Look at you showing off like that."

Meng Xiyan raised his eyebrows: "If you can't eat grapes, you say they are sour."

He took out another hat and put it on his head: "It's time to leave the court. You have worked hard, I will go home and rest first."

Meng Xiyan strode out of the yamen.

He is tall and has long legs. He walks like the wind and has great momentum.

**

Wen Yan was in Chi Fei's yard, with nothing to do and didn't want to read.

Seeing that the snow in the yard had not been cleared, Wen Yan ran out to make a snowman.

Just as Meng Chifei appeared, he heard a light cough coming from the door.

"Ahem."

Wen Yan turned around and saw Meng Xiyan standing at the gate of the courtyard.

"Brother Xi Yan, you are back."

Meng Xiyan walked into the yard and helped her make snowballs. "It's only the fifth day of the New Year. Why are you back to the capital so early? Did you suffer in the countryside? Are you unhappy?"

"Of course not! I'm living very well in the country. I came here so early just to see you."

"Looking for me?" Meng Xiyan was confused.

"Brother, how long will you be working for the City Guard? Can I take a leave?"

"Do you have something important to talk to me about?"

Wen Yan: "Uh..."

Should I tell him that I took him to steal his wife?

Will Meng Xiyan believe it?

The affair between Meng Xiyan and Miss Ning was kept very secret.

In the whole of Dayong, perhaps only his sister and parents know who the woman he likes is.

Even in his previous life, when he had married her, he kept her identity a secret.

If the Meng family had not suffered misfortune later and Wen Yan had not visited the Meng family more frequently, she would not have known about this mysterious sister-in-law.

If she suddenly brought it up now, Meng Xiyan might twist her head off and kill her to silence her.

So, let’s trick the person out first.

In order to trick him out of the city, she had to pull Meng Chifei's banner: "This is a matter concerning Sister Chifei's lifelong happiness."

This matter concerned Meng Chifei, and Meng Xiyan became anxious instantly: "What do you mean? Did something happen to Chifei?"

"It's not her life's safety, it's her happiness for the rest of her life. Brother Xi Yan, are you willing to take some time off to help me?"

Meng Xiyan frowned slightly and nodded, "I'll go with you."

Since it concerns Chi Fei, he cannot be careless at all.

"Then let's make a deal. We'll meet at the city gate tomorrow morning.

By the way, you should ask more trustworthy people to go with you."

"I understand. I'll do as you say." Meng Xiyan pushed the big snowball to Wen Yan and went to the yamen.

"Brother Xiyan, please wait a moment." Wen Yan remembered something and called Meng Xiyan again.

"What else do you want?"

Wen Yan rubbed her hands embarrassedly: "I have something to ask Brother Xi Yan for help."

"you say."

Wen Yan said, "Didn't I stockpile a lot of charcoal? I wanted to take advantage of the recent cold weather to sell it."

"How can I help you? Is the shop short?"

"You know, everyone out there is scrambling for charcoal right now. If I let out a single word, those people in the dark will start to stir.

Before it reaches my hands, it will be snatched away by others.

So, now I want to find a strong backer.

This matter cannot be implicated in the Meng family, so I would like to ask you to help me pass on a message and find me a thicker and bigger golden thigh."

Meng Xiyan thought about the situation in Beijing and tapped his arm rhythmically with his fingers.

In fact, the government office in the capital would prepare winter charcoal every winter and sell it to the people at low prices at critical moments to prevent them from freezing to death.

There was a sudden heavy snowstorm and a sharp drop in temperature a while ago, and the government’s winter charcoal stockpiles were all gone.

This blizzard shows no signs of stopping.

The people in Jingzhao Prefecture were so worried about the charcoal for the winter that they were going bald.
