Chapter 675: Once you send someone away, they won’t come back (29)
"Mr. Xiao?" Mrs. Liang looked puzzled when she heard the name. It was obvious that she knew nothing about this person.
She turned to look at Meng A Luo who had just mentioned this person and asked, "Is he very powerful?"
Meng A Luo saw Mrs. Liang's reaction clearly, and couldn't help but feel contempt in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face at all.
She smiled slightly and said softly, "Young Master Xiao is the eldest son of the Xiao family in the capital. Young Master Xiao's father is the current head of the Xiao family, who holds a high position and has great power. His mother is the distinguished Princess Nanyang, who is also of an extraordinary status."
Meng A Luo paused, and then continued: "Not only that, Mr. Xiao himself is also talented and knowledgeable. When he was studying at Yuening Academy, he was admired and followed by many students for his outstanding literary talent.
To this day, his name is still listed on the two lists of Yuening Academy. Although he is still a student, he also serves as an official in charge of finances of Yuening Academy.
Because of this, he holds one or two valuable recommendation spots in his hands!"
As soon as the voice fell, before Mrs. Liang opened her mouth to respond, Liang Huaixin on the side said suspiciously: "A legitimate son from a big family like this should seek a high-ranking official position in the capital. Why would he come to Yue Ning? Could he be a swindler?"
Facing Liang Huaixin's questioning, Meng A Luo hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth: "In fact... the reason why Mr. Xiao failed to serve as an official in Beijing is because he is not qualified to serve as an official in Beijing.
But even so, being admitted to Yuening Academy as an exception and holding an important position is enough to prove that he is no ordinary person. "
However, Liang Huaixin obviously did not buy this explanation.
He sneered, not disguising his contempt, and said sarcastically: "Humph! Look at me, I told you, how can such words be believed! How capable can a person who can't even be an official in Beijing be?"
When Meng A Luo heard this, he felt a little unhappy, but he still had that soft and weak expression: “My dear, it’s better not to jump to conclusions too early.
The reason why Master Xiao was not qualified to serve as an official in the capital was because of his leg disease, but because of his outstanding talent and learning, he was able to get this job now. "
Liang Huaixin narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a dangerous tone: "A Luo seems to be very familiar with him?"
"Of course!" Meng A Luo said as if it was a matter of course. "My father has some friendship with Master Xiao, and didn't you notice when you were in the academy? Master Xiao comes to give lectures every ten days!"
"It's him!" Liang Huaixin remembered the "Master" he had seen before, who always sat in a wheelchair. "I remember now, it's the cripple!"
Pah! Mrs. Liang slapped her son on the back with her hand: "He is disabled, and he is the chief officer of Yuening College. You are healthy, but someone reported you to the police and arrested you. How dare you say that he is a cripple!"
"I...I!" Liang Huaixin's face turned red after hearing this.
Seeing her son in such an awkward situation, Madam Liang gave him face and did not continue talking. Instead, she asked Meng A Luo: "The most urgent thing now is to get the recommendation quota from Master Xiao!
Since your father has a history with him, will he deliberately make things difficult for our Liang family because of your father? "
After hearing this, Meng A Luo bit her lip and did not answer, seeming to be very embarrassed.
Mrs. Liang winked at her son, as if asking him to use the "beauty trap".
"My dear A Luo, since you have come up with this idea, why not help him to the end!" Liang Huaixin took Meng A Luo's hand at his mother's signal and said, "When I enter the college, I will go to your house to propose marriage and let you marry into my family in glory."
Meng A Luo lowered her head and still didn't speak, but a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth - men's words are deceiving, she didn't believe a word of such words, anyway, she was seeking money, so she didn't care about these.
But the show had to go on for now. Before she could even open her mouth, Mrs. Liang became anxious because the officers were still waiting outside!
What should we do if we can’t come up with a solution?
Seeing that her son's words were useless, Madam Liang spoke up: "Good boy, I have treated you as a family member these days. As long as you take us to meet Mr. Xiao, we will marry you as our legal wife after the matter is settled."
Legal wife! Ha! A few years ago, she didn't have such expectations, but at least someone paid her a lot of money to set up this scheme, so it shouldn't be a problem to get a little from both sides.
Restraining the smile on his face, Meng A Luo looked up at the Liang family mother and son and said, "Let's go to the government office first to explain the matter and ask my father to give us some more time. Then we can go to Master Xiao and see how he can give the quota to my husband."
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's go!" After saying this, Mrs. Liang and her son Liang Huaixin and Meng A Luo walked towards the front hall.
The yamen runners waiting there would not have waited so long if they had not received bribes. Now that everyone has come out, they are willing to give the Liang family some face and do not put shackles on Liang Huaixin.
Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing to walk all the way with shackles on.
