Chapter 479 Home in Chongqing(1/2)
Qiu Xingchang drove, Su Yao sat in the passenger seat, and Marshal Meng Shaoyuan and Shang Qianyi Shang sat in the back seat.
After being separated for a while, the Marshal of the Flower Country became more and more charming, with that figure...
Meng Shaoyuan swallowed quietly. Thinking of the night with Marshal Monk, he couldn't help but his heart was beating wildly. He wished he could do it right now...
It makes a lot of sense to say that you don’t love the country but love the beauty.
King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty...those who would give up their country and country just for a beautiful woman's smile. In the past, it was difficult for Meng Shao to understand, but now he completely empathizes with them.
Think about it, how many normal men can resist being tempted by a woman like Shang Qianyi?
Shang Qianyi was like a real wife, cuddling up to her husband whom she had not seen for a long time, whispering a few words from time to time. Sometimes she would whisper a few words into Meng Shaoyuan's ear, but before she could finish speaking, she would
He laughed out loud.
Such a woman can make men obsessed with her.
Qiu Xingchang just drove and turned a deaf ear, but Su Yao's face was red.
Seeing Shang Qianyi, even a woman will be moved, let alone a man? Brother Shao Yuan used to be in Chongqing, and he had a sister-in-law hidden in the house.
"Sir, we're here."
The car stopped.
Qiu Xingchang helped open the car door.
Home arrived?
This, this is your home in Chongqing?
Meng Shaoyuan was a little dumbfounded.
Wooden-framed house with beam frame, single-eave gable-style roof, covered with small green tiles...
As soon as you enter, you will find a large courtyard, full of flowers, plants and trees, providing shade and shelter. It is as comfortable as you want to be here in the summer to cover yourself from the scorching sun. You can see a stone table for resting every few steps.
Stone bench.
There is a dam in front and three patios in the back. It is divided into two courtyards, front and rear, which are called "upper and lower courtyards" in Chongqing people's parlance.
The upper courtyard is for the servants, while the lower courtyard is for the master and his family.
According to Qiu Xingchang, the upper courtyard is very large. In addition to housing servants, guards, drivers, etc. can also be arranged here.
forget it.
What kind of guards should I use? Meng Shaoyuan still understands the principle that a big tree attracts wind.
"How big is this?" Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but ask.
"More than three acres of land."
More than three acres?
So that’s more than 2,000 square meters, right?
"This is all Mr. Qiu's good intention." Shang Qianyi said gently: "After I came to Chongqing, Mr. Lu accompanied me to visit the Qiu family. Mr. Qiu said that you will come sooner or later, so it is better to prepare in advance so that
You can also have a home in Chongqing in the future. So I gave this house to you. I refused again and again, but Mr. Qiu refused again and again."
Meng Shaoyuan was startled: "Mr. Qiu gave it to me? How can it be so embarrassing?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Qiu Xingchang said hurriedly: "We are embarrassed to say it. This is the old house of my Qiu family. It has been idle for a long time. It is reasonable to say that we should help Chief Meng find a new house, but it was not available for a while.
It will be difficult to find one. Now that a large number of people have poured into Chongqing, the housing supply is even tighter, so I have no choice but to give in to Chief Meng and live here."
Wronged?
You might as well come across this kind of grievance more often.
Meng Shaoyuan excused himself and accepted it calmly.
Since we are already allies with the Qiu family, there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.
There is no rush to wait for a while.
"Chief Meng has worked hard all the way and is tired." Qiu Xingchang looked at the time and said, "Originally, I wanted to let Chief Meng eat something to pacify his stomach, but Madam-in-law said she was here to help you prepare food."
Madam sister-in-law?
Shang Qianyi?
Don't mention it, if you call me that, if Zhu Yanni hears it, it will inevitably lead to another bloody storm.
"Go and make arrangements for everyone who comes with me." Meng Shaoyuan explained.
"Yes, someone has already arranged it."
"Two things." Meng Shaoyuan was still uneasy: "One is the prisoner my men caught on the boat. We must guard it closely and there must be no mistakes. Also, help me pay attention to the two people on the boat. One is You.
Heron, one is called You Yuecheng."
Meng Shaoyuan still remembers the "Ode to Become a Teacher" to this day.
"Understood. If you don't have anything else to do, sir, I'll leave first and pick you up at half past five."
"Go ahead."
Meng Shaoyuan asked Su Yao to choose a room by herself.
Logically speaking, the Su family was considered middle class when they were in Nanjing.
But this was the first time Su Yao had seen such a big house.
"You rest first, I'll prepare something to eat for you."
Shang Qianyi brought Meng Shaoyuan into the room and said softly.
Meng Shaoyuan looked at the room carefully.
The furniture, mattresses and quilts inside are all new.
In the corners on both sides, two pots of rich flowers were specially placed.
It was obvious that Shang Qianyi had put a lot of thought into welcoming her.
After a while, the food was brought in.
A bowl of porridge and three plates of side dishes.
Meng Shaoyuan had been on the ship for a long time and was tired from the journey. The first meal was not supposed to be a big fish or meat meal. He needed porridge and side dishes to recuperate his stomach.
These three dishes are also very unique.
One dish is peanuts with celery, another dish is fried bacon with green beans, and one dish is shredded potatoes in vinegar, all made by Shang Qianyi herself.
As expected, it can go up to the hall, down to the kitchen, and even...
Shang Qianyi helped fill a bowl of porridge. She sat on the side and looked at Meng Shaoyuan longingly. It took a long time before she said: "You have lost weight."
Can I not lose weight?
He fought with the Japanese every day, narrowly escaped death, and wandered on the Yangtze River for so many days.
Meng Shaoyuan sipped porridge and ate vegetables: "Why don't you hire some servants?"
"Mr. Lu also said that the servants have been found." Shang Qianyi quickly replied: "But I think this is your house and I want you to have the final say whether you are satisfied with the servants or not."
Just tell Mr. Lu, keep those servants for now and pay them their wages. When you come, if you are satisfied, you can stay. If you are not satisfied, you can give them a sum of money and let them go back."
Look, look. This is the woman of this era.
Although Meng Shaoyuan has no male chauvinism, if there is such a beautiful, gentle and sensible woman by his side, the man's vanity will naturally be greatly satisfied.
In the past, Meng Shaoyuan had seen unruly princesses and shrewish daughters-in-law in movies and TV shows, but if he thought about it carefully, under the constraints of thousands of years of Chinese ethics, how could there be so many women who regarded unruly and unreasonable women as cute?
Occasionally there is a Princess Taiping, but that is definitely very rare.
The feminist movement in big cities such as Shanghai has long been launched vigorously, but most women still do things according to their own knowledge.
"It's up to you." Meng Shaoyuan didn't want to care about these trivial matters: "If you think it's good, stay here. It's not like a gardener, servant, or mother. We'll do it according to the mentality of the nouveau riche."
Shang Qianyi burst out laughing: "How can you say that about yourself? We don't need many people, we can do some things by ourselves. I know you have money, but there are many places for men to use money. Today there are
Once you have money, it does not mean that you will never be short of money in the future. You still have to keep some more for emergencies, just in case something happens in the future.
I think, let's hire a gardener to take care of so many flowers, plants and trees. By the way, let the gardener do the chores, and I'll give him a salary of one and a half. He will be happy with the extra money.
, we can also save half of our salary, and I plan to do the same for the rest of the people."
This is a good wife who knows how to budget carefully.
Meng Shaoyuan felt that he had found a treasure.
Shang Qianyi explained her thoughts carefully, and then said hesitantly: "There is one more thing. I made my own decision before I had time to tell you."
"What's up?"
"After I came to Chongqing, I saw that Mr. Lu was very busy all day long. He wished he could be divided into two people." Shang Qianyi was a little embarrassed: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I often go to help Mr. Lu.
.Help him take care of the company, arrange the delivery sequence, check the inventory, dispatch the goods and deliver them."
"Oh?" Meng Shaoyuan was very interested: "Do you know this?"
