After arriving at Dongfang Xiaoyu's house, the practice system prompted that the task was completed, and Pei Mengqing also successfully received a "huge sum" of 5 points.
This slightly made up for the sadness of being unable to return to the original world and never being able to see his parents, relatives and friends again.
"Who is this?"
After the reunion, Dongfang Xiaoyu's mother finally noticed Pei Mengqing standing aside.
In the ambiguous eyes, Pei Mengqing was a little overwhelmed.
It seems that he was mistaken for Dongfang Xiaoyu's boyfriend.
"This is my junior. This time I followed the teacher's instructions and came back with me to do the data research part of my graduation thesis."
Dongfang Xiaoyu quickly explained that she was afraid that her mother would treat Pei Mengqing as her future son-in-law.
Xiaoyu's mother's expression was visibly disappointed, but she still walked to Pei Mengqing:
"Since you are Xiaoyu's junior brother, you are my nephew. What is your name?"
"Auntie, my name is Pei Mengqing." Pei Mengqing quickly responded politely.
"It's a good name, but it's a bit neutral. It sounds like it was taken from a poem?" Although Xiaoyu's mother is a woman, she has a unique vision.
The more she looks at Pei Mengqing, the more Xiaoyue's mother likes him.
It's a coincidence that Pei Mengqing's appearance is almost the same as that of the original owner. Even the original owner of the body is a little younger. Pei Mengqing is an alcoholic at such a young age. Pei Mengqing is helpless. Pei Mengqing guesses that if she can pass through this place, she might be the same as him. Appearance also matters.
The appearance is the same, maybe there is "wine" threading the bridge in the middle... maybe the two of them died of drunkenness at the same time, and then passed each other's souls.
In short, in the eyes of Xiaoyu's mother, Pei Mengqing is a talented person with a good appearance. Now after practicing cultivation, his temperament has become better. Although his clothes are a bit "barbarian", but with a sword hanging on his waist, he should be of extraordinary origin and worthy of Dongfang Xiaoyu.
What's more, Dongfang Xiaoyu is already twenty, which is long past the time for women to get married in today's society.
Other women in their twenties are already mothers of two or three children. In contrast, Dongfang Xiaoyu can be said to be an older leftover girl.
Therefore, Dongfang Xiaoyu's mother is still very anxious about her daughter's marriage, fearing that it will become increasingly difficult to find a suitable partner as she gets older.
"My aunt has a good eye. My name is taken from a great romantic poet. One of his lines is, 'Thinking of this is like a dream, and it hurts my feelings sadly.' That's why my parents named me 'Mengqing'."
Pei Mengqing answered politely, worrying that she was not polite enough and would be disliked by Xiaoyu's mother, which would affect the completion of subsequent consecutive tasks.
For example, if Dongfang Xiaoyu needs help, Xiaoyu's mother locks Dongfang Xiaoyu at home on the grounds that "you are not allowed to associate with that rude boy", leaving him alone and unable to support himself. That would be a tragedy.
As a well-read person (all kinds of popular novels), Pei Mengqing will never make mistakes in the subtleties.
"Okay, okay, it seems that I am also a home that has read a lot of poetry and books."
Xiaoyu's mother was even more happy after hearing it. Although she had never heard these two poems, it did not hinder her guess.
She had never heard of it. Naturally, she thought it was because she did not study well enough to understand the poetry and songs of talented people all over the world. She would not think that Pei Mengqing was just making it up.
Besides, how many people nowadays can write ancient poems?
Didn't they all write "New Era Poems"? She was also famous for asking someone to buy a copy of "Contemporary Poems of the Great Zhou Dynasty", and after reading it, she threw it into the pit and burned it.
When I opened it, I saw that it was full of "shit and shit". A good person would not say anything, but would break a sentence into several sentences and use some kind of "punctuation mark" to separate them, as if this would make him more literary. Add a few specious words, say one or two metaphorical sentences that look decent but are actually bullshit, and create a mess of images, as if this is poetry.
There is no real feeling at all, even she can think of 180 poems in the effort of cooking.
However, she regretted it after throwing it into the pit and burning it. She began to worry that burning such a shameless book to the Stove Lord would make him angry.
She also specially wrote a letter to her daughter Dongfang Xiaoyu, telling her to stay away from those classmates who wrote "new era poetry" to avoid being a bad example and getting dirty.
Fortunately, Dongfang Xiaoyu is also a well-educated person. She deeply agrees with her mother's words and never associates with those classmates.
"Having said so much, come on, come in first and let's chat slowly." Xiaoyu's mother called to the maid at home, "Yuhuan! Serve tea!"
…………
Here, Pei Mengqing followed Dongfang Xiaoyu home, while Bureau Ju was squatting outside. Over there, Xiaori had already arrived at the county government office and found the room where the chief clerk worked.
Xiaori jumped onto the courtyard wall, her steps were light and nimble, and she looked around the room in reality.
The county guards standing guard outside the county government office only care about people and not small animals, so no one noticed Xiaori.
There is a locust tree in the yard, but it is almost dry, with only one main trunk left.
There is no obstruction to the view, and you can clearly see that there are windows on three sides of the room. Probably because of the winter, the windows on three sides are all sealed, and only the front door can enter.
Xiaori waited for a long time, but saw no one coming or going. After hesitating for a while, he jumped off the courtyard wall, approached the corner of the house, and jumped to the window edge to see if he could see inside.
After digesting half of the Collector, it has successfully advanced to the middle stage of Xuanqi level. If you don't count the people from Tianmeng Pavilion and Dark Night Chaos, there is no opponent for it in Liangzhou County.
After getting closer to the window, I found that it was covered with a layer of oily paper or something like that, making it difficult to see inside clearly.
So it had no choice but to walk to the door, stand up long and straight, knock on the door three times like a human would, then jump away immediately and hide to the side to observe.
The door was pushed open from the inside, and Xiaori saw a middle-aged official.
The middle-aged official has many similarities with Dongfang Xiaoyu's appearance. It is basically certain that he is Dongfang Xiaoyu's father Dongfang Mingfu. He has a dignified appearance, neat beard and hair, and is wearing the official uniform issued by the county government. He is quite dignified.
Dongfang Mingfu looked around, but saw no one, and was not annoyed. He turned around, closed the door, and returned to the room.
Xiaori followed him into the room as soon as the door was closed. Due to his extremely fast speed, no one noticed him.
There were wooden shelves on both sides of the room, with stacks of paper documents placed on them, probably all of the county's service documents and case records.
On the shelf at the back, you can even find the county annals recorded on bamboo slips.
Xiaori used the wooden shelves and books and papers stacked everywhere as cover to secretly observe the place.
There is a long desk placed on a wooden shelf facing the door. Dongfang Mingfu sits behind the long desk, where he usually handles documents.
Below, along the bookshelf and perpendicular to the main table, are two tables and cushions, which should be used by Dongfang Mingfu's subordinate officials.
It can be imagined that Dongfang Mingfu and two or three clerks usually sit here to deal with the affairs of the county. When they encounter something that cannot be decided, they will go out to the courtyard and go to the room where the county magistrate is located to ask for instructions.
However, the county magistrate, like most leaders, is not usually in his office room, but continues to "inspect" everywhere in the name of inspection.
Xiaori soon discovered something unusual in the room.
