In the Capital, Meng Family Mansion .
When Meng Nan returned from work, he started dealing with his unfinished business in the study room . He was a new minister in the Honglu Government Office, so he was usually idle . It’s just, the year will end soon, so everyone became so busy .
Jin Shiwei came in from the outside in a hurry: “Gongzi, you have a letter . ”
The brush in Meng Nan’s hand didn’t stop . He only said softly: “Just leave it there . ”

Jin Shiwei smiled brightly: “You won’t look at it?”
Meng Nan said: “I won’t . ” Zheng Ruxue has been sending letters to him in these past three days . He was so annoyed with it that he didn’t want to hear a single word about it .
Jin Shiwei coughed twice and hold onto his belief: “Meng Dage, I wish you’re doing well . Respectfully yours, Bai Zhi . ”
The brush in Meng Nan’s hand stopped moving abruptly . And then he threw the brush on the inkstone without care . He rushed in front of Jin Shiwei and reached to get the letter on his hand: “Give it to me . ”
Jin Shiwei raised the letter: “Didn’t you say that you will not look at it?”

Meng Nan bent his arm and gave Jin Shiwei a punch in the abdomen . Because of pain, Jin Shiwei had to pull back his arm and covered his abdomen . And so, the letter fell into Meng Nan’s hand .
“Of course, I need to read Zhier’s letter . ” The writing on the envelope was much cleaner than the previous one and also looked a bit charming . It seems that she has been practicing to write words recently, and her progress was quite fast .
After reading the letter, Meng Nan asked Jin Shiwei: “Have you heard of Baima Street?” The Capital was very large, there were countless streets and lanes . Except for a few common street names, he doesn’t remember most of them .
Jin Shiwei thought for a while but then shook his head: “I have a bit impression, but I can’t remember it . ” He was with Meng Nan most of the time . How can he know something that he doesn’t know?
“Go and find the housekeeper . ” Their Housekeeper lived in the Capital his whole life . He knew more things in the capital than he does .
Jin Shiwei hurried away, and soon took the Old Housekeeper over .

“Gongzi, do you have any orders?” The Old Housekeeper asked Meng Nan .
“Do you know Baima Street?” Meng Nan asked .
The Old Housekeeper nodded his head immediately: “I know, Ke Daren lived on Baima Street . ”
Meng Nan asked again: “Which Ke Daren?”
“It is the Left Assistant Imperial Censor, Ke Zhengming, a third rank government official . You don’t know him, gongzi?” The Old Housekeeper was puzzled . Although their young master just returned in the capital, he was now a government official . How could he not know some of the top officials in the civil and military branches?
Meng Nan waved his hand: “I’ll get to know him soon, you go and prepare a carriage . I’ll go to Ke Family’s house . ”
The Old Housekeeper went away immediately, while Meng Nan changed his clothes . Then he went out with Jin Shiwei .
It was a sudden visit . Meng Nan didn’t say anything in advance . Ke Zhengming was not at home, while Madame Ke was ill in bed . Only the eldest son of the Ke Family can welcome him . When the eldest son of the Ke Family heard he came, he didn’t dare to be sloppy . He immediately sent someone to take back his father at home .
Meng Nan looked at the attentive young man in front of him and asked with a smile: “Are you Ke Daren’s eldest son? I’ve heard a lot about you . ”
Ke Xicheng hurriedly replied: “I am Ke Xicheng, the eldest son of Ke Family . I’ve also heard a lot about Meng Gongzi . It is an honor to meet you in person today . ”
