Chapter 47 Rebellion against Tiangang People are like this sometimes. When they don't know the truth, they try hard to find it, but when they see the truth, they find it unacceptable. Because the truth is never as bizarre and tortuous, or as surprisingly dull, as a story. After hearing the so-called true situation, Mei Yuxi opened her mouth wide. "That's it?" Mei Chengan smiled. "That's it." Mei Yuxi hugged her head in pain. She regretted it so much at the moment. She didn't want to hear about any special fish food. She wanted to hear the story of her brother bravely fighting wits and courage with the fish demon. Oh, leak. "Brother, you are so mean. Can't you just lie to me? This story is so boring." Mei Chengan rubbed her head.
"How can I bear to deprive you of your right to know the truth? I also can't bear to lie to you." I can’t be the only one who knows this outrageous and ridiculous truth. I also need to talk about it. I’m sorry, my dear sister. Mei Yuxi opened her brother's stinky hand and turned away. She needed to calm down and think about which version was appropriate to tell her bestie. The next morning, Mei Cheng'an changed into his official uniform and went to the Honglu Temple first. Xiao Wu Belly's birthday party was at noon, so there was no rush to go there. Mei Cheng'an told Xin Qiwu that he wanted to ask for leave. Xin Qiwu waved his hand and told him to just come back before Youshi. If the inspector (who checks attendance) came, he should say that he had asked for temporary leave. If not, then nothing would happen. After staying in the Honglu Temple for about an hour, Mei Cheng'an went home because he had to pack up and prepare. After returning home, Mei Cheng'an took off his official uniform with the help of Hongshu, washed himself again, and washed his hair. He was able to meet Xiao Wubelly in the best spirit possible. Hongshu recombed his hair, changed a new hair tie, then brought him a dark red narrow-sleeved daily travel suit and helped him change. Unlike the brown narrow-sleeved suit, the dark red suit's collar was replaced with a thin-edged gold collar, matched with a bright red lining, which made the skin look exceptionally fair. A set of black wrist guards were added to the cuffs of the narrow sleeves, but the belt remained the same, still black. The dark red coat was embroidered with dark black patterns, making it look both mysterious and noble. Hongshu helped Mei Chengan straighten his collar, and after he was done, he looked him up and down. “The clothes I made are really beautiful.” Mei Chengan rolled his eyes at her in annoyance. "You are not modest at all. You need others to praise you, not yourself." "Then Master, please praise me quickly." "Praise is mutual. How can I praise you if you don't praise me?" "Master is so handsome." “You make better-looking clothes.” "whee." Sure enough, I am happier when others praise me.
Mei Chengan "Stop smiling like a fool. Are you ready for the red envelope I asked you to prepare?" "Just like before, prepare fifty taels." "Come on, let's go meet Little Pork Belly." Mei Chengan brought his four maids along on this trip. One reason was that Wang Qinian and his wife had known them for a long time, and it would be more lively with more people. Another reason is that Mei Chengan knew that not many people would go today, so he had to bring more people to try to make more money back, otherwise Lao Wang would make money too easily. Of course, you must not forget to bring the big fish. Mei Cheng'an has done research and analysis on fish food, and he thinks that something called Houttuynia cordata (not Houttuynia cordata!) should be added. Houttuynia cordata is non-toxic, but it will emit a smell that is fatally attractive to fish, so the fish meat can be eaten with confidence. When Mei Cheng'an walked into Wang Qinian's yard carrying a one-meter-long fish, Wang Qinian was shocked as expected. "Oh my God, there are such big fish?" This was the first time Wang Qinian had seen such a big fish in all his years. Mei Chengan said nonchalantly. "It's only about three feet long, so-so. If you like it, I'll give it to you." Wang Qinian hugged the big fish and said quickly. "I like it, I like it so much." He turned around and shouted towards the house. "Ma'am, come quickly, there are some good things here." A delicate cry came from the room, the sound became louder and louder, and it was obvious that someone was walking out. "What are you shouting for? You're going to wake up Baba. What can happen... Cheng'an is here." Mei Chengan greeted with a smile. "Hello, sister-in-law. I brought a few of them to the banquet. I hope you won't think I brought too many people." The four sweet potatoes spoke. "Hello, Madam Wang." Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes at him and walked over to hold the hands of Sweet Potato and Green Ant. "What nonsense are you talking about? We are old acquaintances. I don't mind you. I welcome you. It's okay for Cheng'an. He is busy. You guys have nothing to do but come to my place. Are you still used to the rouge I gave you?" Sweet Potato and the other three nodded quickly. Mrs. Wang said with a smile. "Then I'm relieved. Tell me when you're done and I'll ask Qinian to deliver it to you. Come on, go inside and don't stand outside." Wang Qinian stood there holding the fish for a long time without getting a chance to say anything. He became a little anxious and stood in front of his wife.
"Ma'am, look at what I'm holding in my arms?" Mrs. Wang was busy greeting Mei Cheng'an and others just now and didn't pay any attention to it. She only saw it now. "Is this... a fish??? Oh my God, where did such a big fish come from?" Wang Qinian chuckled. "It was given by Master Xiaomei." Mrs. Wang looked at Mei Cheng'an. "Cheng'an, what are you doing..." Mei Chengan explained with a smile. "I caught this yesterday. I was thinking about attending the banquet today, so I brought it here as a gift." "Look at you, why are you being so polite when we're all family? Just bring your mouth." "Oh, I also prepared fifty taels of red envelope. Since sister-in-law said she doesn't need it, then I will..." Wang Qinian spoke first. "Need needs need." Mrs. Wang glared at Wang Qinian. Wang Qinian shrank his neck and dared not speak. Instead, he looked at Mei Chengan with a smile. "You like poverty, don't you?" Mei Cheng'an shuddered with fear and quickly took out the red envelope and stuffed it into Mrs. Wang's hand. "I'm kidding sister-in-law." Mrs. Wang held the red envelope in her hand and smiled widely. "Cheng'an, do you want to eat fish? Cook this one?" "Since it's a gift, naturally it's my sister-in-law's decision. I'm fine with anything." Mrs. Wang nodded and said to Wang Qinian. "Don't just stand there like an idiot. Hurry up and take the fish to the kitchen and prepare it. I'll cook it later." Wang Qinian let out a sigh and went to the kitchen with the fish in his arms. "Come on, let's go inside." The group entered the house. Mrs. Wang took him to a seat and poured him a cup of tea. Mei Chengan took a sip. "Sister-in-law, is Little Pork Belly still asleep?" "She woke up early in the morning, and fell asleep again because she was tired from playing. She has been sleeping for almost an hour, so it's time for her to wake up. You wait here with your tea, and I'll go check on her."
"okay." Mrs. Wang came back not long after she left, holding Wang Ba, who had a high bun and sleepy eyes, in her arms. Come to Mei Chengan. "Ba Ba, look who this is?" Wang Ba stared at Mei Chengan blankly, his face full of confusion. Mei Chengan smiled. "Well, I just woke up and am still confused." Mrs. Wang continued to guide Wang Ba. "This is Xiao An'an. Do you still remember Xiao An'an?" Wang Ba tilted his head and thought about it, then his eyes lit up when he saw Mei Chengan, and blurted out the answer. "Little An'an!" Mei Chengan smiled happily. "Hey, it's me." Wang Ba stretched out his hands to Mei Chengan. Mei Cheng'an quickly took Wang Ba from Mrs. Wang, let her sit on his lap, facing him, and put his arms around her back to prevent her from falling. Wang Ba's two little hands naturally grabbed the two ribbons that stuck out of his belt. "Little Pork Belly, you still remember me." "You are Xiao An'an." "That's right, you have a really good memory." Mrs. Wang watched from the side for a while. "Cheng'an, you stay here with Baba, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." Mei Chengan looked up. "Sister-in-law, go and get busy." "Baba likes to move around, so protect her and don't let her fall." "Don't worry, even if I fall, I won't drop her." Mrs. Wang nodded and went out. Mei Cheng'an turned around and said to Hongshu and the others behind him. "Go see if there's anything I can do to help." The four of them went out in response.
Mei Chengan chatted with Wang Ba with a smile. "Little Pork Belly, do you know who Little Pork Belly is?" "Eat meat." .... Mei Cheng'an was chatting happily with Wang Ba in the house when Wang Qinian led two people in through the front door. One was pushing a wheelchair and the other was sitting in a wheelchair. They were Yingzi and Chen Pingping. Time flashes back to before Chen Pingping came to the birthday party. Office of Chen Pingping of the Supervisory Yuan. Shadow pushed the door open and walked in. "Mei Cheng'an went to attend Wang Qinian's daughter's birthday party." Chen Pingping didn't even raise his head, still looking at the document. "He has a good relationship with Wang Qinian's family, so it's not surprising that he would attend, so can you knock on the door when you come in?" Shadow rolled his eyes. Why do you always care about these details? He turned around and walked to the door, knocked twice, and then returned to his original position. "Aren't you going?" "I remember I told you, I'm busy." "I want to go." "If you want to go, go ahead." Shadow paused and said stiffly. "Wang Qinian didn't give me an invitation, but he gave it to you." "Oh." The hint is so obvious, are you pretending not to understand? Do you really need me to point it out? Shadow felt speechless. "I can only go if you go." Chen Pingping finally looked up. "Why do you want to go?" "I have nothing to do. I'm bored. I want to go out and take a walk to get some fresh air." "You have a lot of work to do in the Sixth Office." "The subordinates can do it. There is no need for me to do anything." "Then you can go out and take a look around by yourself. I just happen to have a lot of official documents to deal with, so I don't need to go out for the time being. There's no need for you to watch over me." "No, if I'm not here, what if you get into danger? I'm worried." Chen Pingping leaned back in the wheelchair, shook his sleeves and smiled.
"This is the Overwatch Council, what are you worried about?" "Is the Supervisory Council safe? Chen Pingping, there are many people who want to kill you. Don't you know that?" Chen Pingping's face turned cold. "You mean there are people in the Overwatch Council who want to kill me too." Shadow shook his head. "I don't know, but I'm always worried about your safety when I'm not with you." Chen Pingping felt helpless. "So what you mean is that, in order to make yourself feel at ease, I have to follow you wherever you want to go." Shadow felt a little embarrassed. He thought that thinking this way was a bit counterintuitive. (End of this chapter)
