Chapter 766 The Evolution of Xue Mei
Chapter 766 Xue Mei's Evolution
Xue Chi spent the whole summer in the south.
In the summer south, it is humid and stuffy and there are many mosquitoes.
When he first arrived at the prefecture, local officials did not take him seriously. The Ninth Prince was unknown in the court for more than ten years and had never heard of his name.
As the prince recovered, this man was extremely active, but he relied on the prince.
Local officials are intricately incompatible.
In this era, those who can become officials are all wealthy families, and they are elected, without poor people. They all have backers and have sufficient confidence in themselves, so they will not take Xue Chi, the cheap prince, seriously.
Xue Chi has no ability over the years, but he has made a lot of money.
So as soon as he arrived at the prefecture, money opened the way, and he won over a group of officials while eating, drinking and having fun.
In addition, he brought some good things that Xue Mei gave him, such as perfume and foundation, and gave him a wave of pillow style.
The worst thing is that he brought a lot of mosquito coils.
Mosquito coils are one of the most indispensable things in summer. The mosquitoes in the south are heavy and watery, and every household burns the unsmelling mugwort.
As soon as the mosquito coil came out, it made everyone curious.
Xue Chi used it for a small deal. He only sold one-third of the original price of mosquito coils, which not only did not make local officials worried about taking bribes, but also made favors.
It took him more than a month to communicate with others. The two officials who accompanied him were worried about their errands while watching the fun.
If this matter is messed up, Xue Chi will go home to eat, and they will not be able to escape.
They always urged Xue Chi to do serious things as soon as possible. It is important to collect grain, and there is no need to win over the hearts of the people in the local area. These people will be speechless for Xue Chi in the future.
Xue Chi was not angry either, but just said to them: "Sharpening a knife will not delay the chopping of wood, don't worry."
Time was wasted by him.
But soon, the state officials took the initiative.
They had enough food and drink at Xue Chi, and they had given the right to give, and they had taken advantage of the right to take. If they didn't do serious things, the court could not spare Xue Chi or them.
Instead, they urged Xue Chi.
With the cooperation of local officials, the future was extremely smooth. This year, the weather was good and the grain harvest was bumper. The grain harvested was of excellent quality and was all new.
Seven days later, the two-month grain collection task was completed. Xue Chi was not in a hurry to hand in the work. After he got busy, he stayed in the local area and inspected the granaries in various places to ensure that the granaries were full of real grain.
What he needs to do is to do things steadily, not to do things quickly.
So it took him more than two months to be in the south until early August when he returned to the capital.
This matter was done in a solid manner and without any leakage, so the emperor was naturally satisfied; the court officials also saw Prince Zhuang's ability to do things and praised it one after another.
For a time, Xue Chi took the lead among his brothers.
Xue Chi was not very happy.
Since he was preparing to return, his mind has not been on this job. After finishing it, his merits and demerits were not determined by him, so he seemed absent-minded.
He just kept thinking along the way: "How is Mei'er going? Have you succeeded?"
The only one who worried him was Xue Mei.
When he returned to Prince Zhuang's mansion, Xue Chi found that the door of the palace, which was originally a bit noisy, was closed at the moment, as if he was alone at home.
He felt very uncomfortable from the beginning of entering the door, and the lonely and desertedness wrapped around him.
Xue Han is at home. But Xue Mei is not here, and Xue Han is also depressed and can't lift her spirits.
Xue Chi's heart was a little cold.
He went to Huining Garden.
The Huining Garden is very lively, unlike the entire royal palace. Xue Mei's maid Xiuzhu is pregnant and is not old. She is also busy in and out of Huining Garden with her slightly bulging belly.
When everyone saw him coming in, they greeted him simply.
Xue Chi asked them what they were busy with.
"The eldest lady is coming back." Hongluan said, "Maybe it was these days. We cleaned up the yard and let the eldest lady come back with a new quilt cover. She likes the new quilt that has been sunny."
Xue Chi also smelled a little sunshine.
His heart finally walked from the dark and old valley bottom. He was scattered by the sunshine and popularity, and he seemed to have come alive.
"So, the quilts I have to be worn on," said Xue Chi.
He called a little maid and asked her to go to the main courtyard to give her instructions to take out all his quilts to dry them.
The little maid said that.
On this day, the entire Prince Zhuang’s mansion was drying the quilt.
The beginning of autumn is coming in early August. The sun is warm but not shining, and the sky is particularly clear and lofty. Autumn has arrived.
Xue Chi likes autumn very much. If everything is settled in the dust, he will feel endless sense of peace of mind.
Two days later, Xue Mei did not come back, but King Jing came.
King Jing has not arrived for many days. Because Chengyang Hou and Prince Zhuang are not at home, and because King Jing was a Xuanhu a while ago.
The Xuanhu costume looks very similar to Xiao Jingcheng at other times, but I don’t know how to show up in front of Xue Mei.
Now, Xiao Jingcheng is back.
As soon as he came back, he asked Xue Chi: "Mi'er hasn't come out of seclusion yet? I have to go and see her."
Xue Chi is going too.
When they arrived at Zhuangzi, it happened to be when Xue Mei came out of seclusion.
When they saw her, they were stunned again, because they felt that the person in front of them was so bright that they seemed to be shining with a kind of light shining all over their bodies, so beautiful that they could not look directly at them.
She is still the Xue Mei, but she seems to have changed again. The naked eye cannot confirm where the changes have changed.
Just like plastic surgery in later generations, you can’t remember where you’ve done it by memorizing. Only by holding two photos and comparing them little by little can you explain it clearly.
Xue Mei smiled and regardless of the presence of his maid and elder brother, she stepped forward and hugged Xiao Jingcheng.
Xiao Jingcheng smelled the breath on her body, which was like the dust-free disinfectant in the space, and there was a little bit of medicine, which smelled very nice. He had been in that space before.
He hugged her back and whispered in her ear: "How is it? Did it succeed?"
Xue Mei: "You will know by trying it tonight. How are you doing? Are you ready?"
Xiao Jingcheng: “…”
In broad daylight, in front of everyone, he actually said such words to Xue Mei. Xiao Jingcheng felt that he had fallen. He became a shameless old hooligan like Xue Mei.
He gently kissed her sideburn: "You'll know if you try."
On the way back, Xue Chi was in the same carriage as Xue Mei and Xiao Jingcheng. Xue Chi asked Xue Mei how she felt.
Xue Mei said she succeeded. According to the method of the Miao Xinjiang Saint, Xue Mei had successfully taken Gui Rong's Gu insect for herself.
She finally had a natal Gu of her own life.
From then on, as long as she does not die, the worm will not leave her; even if she is about to die, the worm will die first and stop her life.
She succeeded.
What excited her was that she could finally eat Xiao Jingcheng tonight.
