Chapter 277 The pale and skinny Lord Meng...
When Qin Yue finally entered the Golden Palace, the other court officials had been looking forward to it.
As a result, when everyone looked up, they were met with a pair of watery grape eyes, and they were immediately touched by it.
Oh, the little Fuguan didn’t sleep this time...
Oh, the little Fuguan is really cute... Much better than those disobedient bastards at home!
I don’t know whose melon to eat today... Hehe...
Qin Yue faced everyone’s gaze and lay on his own exclusive cradle.
Hmm... It’s so comfortable...
Then, Qin Yue immediately asked the system: [Sister, whose melon are we eating today? ]
The court officials immediately pricked up their ears.
Emperor Jin Yuan also put on a posture of eating melons, and moved his butt again and again.
Seeing this, Eunuch Li couldn't help but twitch his eyes. Your Majesty
is really in high spirits when he is happy.
The five surrounding countries have all been eaten by the little lucky official, and there will probably be no melons that are too irritating when he eats melons later.
It is most likely the funny melons of the court officials...
Your Majesty will not feel any burden when eating this kind of melon!
Just watch the fun!
System: [Host, let me see~~~~]
The court officials couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they heard this.
Hiss, it's really tense and exciting...
I hope it's a good melon today! Let them have fun.
There is no way, I don't know what medicine Minister Wei took wrong, it really made them miserable, and they urgently need to eat a good melon to relieve it.
Ever since Minister Wei was eaten by melon yesterday, he has been nagging them whenever he sees them.
Today, he was the first to arrive at the Golden Palace. He did not go inside the palace, but stood at the door and criticized them one by one. He said
that they took the wrong step when entering the palace, which was impolite...
there were too many wrinkles on the official uniform, which was impolite...
he did not know how to clean the vegetable leaves stuck in his teeth, which was impolite...
his hair was too messy, which was impolite...
...
In short, no one escaped.
Everyone felt tired of being nagged, and they really needed the good melons of the little lucky official to relieve their depressed mood.
After a while, the voice of the system rang again.
[Host, fresh melon, ripe, do you want to eat it?]
Qin Yue: [Eat eat eat! Bring it up quickly! 】
When Emperor Jin Yuan and the court officials heard that it was a fresh melon, they immediately became excited.
Wow! This time it’s finally not a melon with a long history! It’s actually a fresh melon!
System: [Meng Shaoxuan, Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, Lord Meng, something big happened at home! 】
When Lord Meng, who was named by "Lucky", heard this, he seemed to be struck by lightning.
His brain couldn't work properly.
What?
What did my sister say?
What big thing happened in his family?
No!
Why is it his turn to eat the melon today!
And it sounds like it’s not a good melon!
Lord Meng realized that he had become the "lucky man" of the day,
and his face immediately turned into a bitter melon. The court officials who were watching the excitement around were very happy.
Hahahahaha!
Oh! This time we are going to have some fun!
Lord Meng is usually very frugal, and even the palace banquet he holds is very shabby, and it is a palace banquet after all!
But His Majesty really appreciates this point of his...
He says that Lord Meng knows how to save money for the national treasury, and that a palace banquet is a way of celebration, and there is no need to be too extravagant and wasteful. That
's fine.
The key is that Lord Meng himself is also very frugal. When he goes to other palaces for banquets, he is very stingy in giving gifts, such as brushes and inkstones, which are all worthless.
This is nothing, anyway, inviting colleagues is just for fun, after all, "a small gift is worth a lot of thought"...
But Lord Meng's own family is also very frugal.
Obviously the imperial court had a lot of salary, but their family continued to wear their clothes even after they were washed and turned white, and it was rare to see their family buying new clothes.
Their servants even have patches on their clothes!
This is really not what a good fourth-grade official’s home should look like!
On the contrary, that boy from his family behaves like a little demon king all day long. He is dressed better than Mr. Meng, using fine silks and silks.
Moreover, they once attended Mrs. Meng's birthday banquet, and they even prepared a separate table for the little devil, which was much higher quality than the ones they had as guests.
Even Mr. Meng himself ate the same food as the guests, only the little devil prepared it specially.
Presumably, on weekdays, the little devil is the only one who eats well in Master Meng’s family!
Look at Lord Meng, he is not even forty years old, but he looks like he is almost fifty.
So skinny...his face is also very yellow...
tsk tsk tsk...poor Lord Meng...he has made himself look like this...this is the first time they have seen him...
hehe, this time we have to see what kind of person Lord Meng's family is like!
Qin Yue naturally didn't know Lord Meng's situation, so she asked the system in her heart: [Which Lord Meng? What happened to his family?]
System: [Look, it's the skinny Lord standing behind Minister Wei!]
Qin Yue was still wondering how there could be an official with a yellow face and skinny face, the court salary shouldn't be so high that he can't even eat enough...
but, at a glance.
Well, she was still superficial...
The system really didn't lie to her. Lord Meng was indeed pale and thin...
The clothes he wore looked like they were on a skeleton, and his official uniform looked empty inside...
You can imagine how thin he was...
And his face was really yellow... Compared with the officials next to him, Lord Meng looked like he was painted with yellow paint...
The court officials tried their best to hold back their laughter.
The term "pale and thin" is the most appropriate to describe Lord Meng.
Emperor Yuan of Jin rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Meng Shaoxuan was born in a poor family. Although he was a little stingy, he always did a good job in the tasks he was assigned.
Although the dishes at the palace banquet looked a bit simple, Lord Meng had put a lot of thought into the selection of ingredients. Not only did he ensure that they were absolutely fresh, but he also always found some rare dishes.
It was just that he might have been used to poverty since he was a child, so even now that he is a high-ranking official, he still lives frugally.
Looking at his official uniform, which was obviously a few shades lighter than the others around him, Emperor Jin Yuan felt a headache.
It looked like the court had treated him badly...
Qin Yue: [Well, I didn't expect that there were actually officials who were pale and thin...]
[So, sister, what happened to Lord Meng? ]
Lord Meng immediately pricked up his ears when he heard this, and his whole body tilted slightly towards Qin Yue.
Others also pricked up their ears, waiting for the next melon.
Emperor Jin Yuan moved his butt again.
System: [Hey, Mr. Meng’s family had two relatives come from their hometown this morning. They are Mrs. Meng’s nephew and niece.]
