Mrs. Li was shocked!

I have to say that Meng Yong's imagination is quite big.

Want to marry your daughter to the Chu Qing family?

Do you know how the Meng family in Jizhou was disowned? When the clan was discussing, you, Meng Yong, weren't the one who made the loudest noise?

The elder brother regards her as his sworn enemy, and your eldest brother even hired a murderer to intercept and kill her. Didn’t you know?! Marry your daughter? Not to mention whether there is any hope for this matter, aren’t you afraid of pushing your daughter into a pit of fire?

Even if there is no such hatred, why do people want to marry you? What is it for you? For your greed? For your beauty?

Ms. Li swallowed her saliva. At this time, Meng Yong was in a bit of a crazy mood. She didn't want to offend him all of a sudden, so she temporarily calmed down his mania: "I heard that her child is only ten years old, right?"

"What are you afraid of! Female junior, hold the gold brick!" Meng Yong answered the words very quickly.

"I mean, people's children are so young that they won't even consider this matter!" said Li.

Meng Yong: "She doesn't think about it, let's remind her to think about it! What's wrong with the child? Getting engaged doesn't mean getting married right away!"

Mrs. Li: "Then, even the eldest brother-in-law won't agree! We, the second eldest brother-in-law, can't have much control over who our daughter marries!"

This is the saddest thing.

The daughter of the Meng family is also part of the Meng family's assets. Who she marries depends on what interests the family needs.

The reason why Mrs. Li did not object to marrying her daughter to the Yao family was because she had objected too fiercely before and was afraid of offending the elder family, and the Yao family was always better than those other families, so she did not speak out again.

Otherwise, in Mrs. Li's heart, the Yao family is not a good place for her daughter.

My daughter is young and has a weak personality. Unlike her, at least she still has the strength to fight against her husband, so it is best to marry into a small family, so that her husband's family will not bully her too much.

"How can you disagree?" Meng Yong asked back: "Why don't you agree? This is good for Dafang and the Meng family!"

Ms. Li said: "Years ago, the big house was hired with money..."

Meng Yong waved his hand to interrupt his wife, not letting her continue. This matter cannot be explained openly. There are servants outside the house. If someone gossips about her, the second room will not be spared.

Meng Yong: "What's the matter! Aren't they good enough? Our family's property is not smaller than hers, and their orphans and widowed mothers also need someone to support them, right?"

Look, she has been an official for several years, right? Does anyone support her? No, right? If her son marries our girl, it will be like finding a solid backer!

The past was before, and the present is now. We didn't deal with each other before, but we didn't say it out loud. It was all secret, and she had no proof. Now, we have to say it out about the in-laws, so why not?"

Li: "But even if she doesn't make it clear, she should know it, right? She's not a fool!"

Meng Yong said disdainfully: "What do you know about a woman? Just because she is not a fool, she is also a businessman. She should be able to figure out what is beneficial to her, otherwise a womanly family would not be able to be an official!"

Don't worry about this matter. I'll tell my eldest brother when he comes back. Isn't this a better choice than the Yao family?"

Mrs. Li shut up.

Just say it, it won't happen anyway.

Who is Dafang? How could he agree to such a thing? Since it is impossible to succeed, he can do whatever he likes.

Ms. Li has to go and see her daughter. Her daughter is very worried and worried these days. She needs to be comforted and comforted.

A few days later, Meng Chun came back, very sad.

I gained nothing from this trip.

Not to mention visiting people with some gifts if you like them, you can't even find out any information.

Several sons-in-law also reminded him, subtly or subtly, that it was best not to act rashly, so as not to implicate them, because they did not dare to take any action now.

The sons-in-law all said that their terms of office would be up in one year, and whether they should be promoted, demoted, or retained in office, the new prefect's opinion was very important, but they could not leave a bad impression on others as soon as they took office.

He also said that the new magistrate was sent from Beijing and has not received them yet. He probably knows them secretly and they are currently busy covering up their financial affairs other than their salary.

"Father-in-law, let's stop the things you asked me to do. My son-in-law is in a very difficult situation right now. I'm afraid it's a luxury to stay in office." The third son-in-law said to him with great resentment in his words.

The third son-in-law has been helping him cover up the smuggling of iron ingots.

Voss only wanted iron ingots, not ore. Fortunately, the mine was within the jurisdiction of the third son-in-law. This county was also a small county, and the third son-in-law's abilities were average. He was neither above nor below, so he stayed on, which made the Meng family happy.

Meng Chun had promised to help his son-in-law establish connections and get him a promotion, but it had been six years and he hadn't even gotten a promotion.

Of course, there is also Meng Chun's factor here, because he didn't want his son-in-law to be promoted, which would be inconvenient.

Therefore, he often allowed his son-in-law to benefit from money, so his son-in-law was still willing to cooperate with him over the years.

But things are different now. The new prefect doesn't know "what's the harm in holding back". Not only does the third son-in-law dare not take any action, but he even wants to instigate the subordinates little by little, hoping that they will keep silent and not reveal the slightest bit of words.

"Also, you should take away the iron ingots you have on hand this time. It's too dangerous to leave them here." The third son-in-law said to him before leaving.

Not only the third son-in-law, but the other two sons-in-law also stopped all the properties related to him and cleaned up the existing goods. Who knows which direction the three fires of the new official's appointment will be burned?

This term of prefect is really difficult to lead!

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned home, his son Meng Xiansheng reported two pieces of bad news to him:

First, the Yao family seems not to want to marry the Meng family;

Second, the poisoning in the college was exposed, and the people sent there were taken away by the Secret Investigation Department and have not been released, so no information can be found.

Meng Chun waved his hand: "You go back first, let me think about it."

Meng Xiansheng saw his father's tired face and knew that his father had just come back and was tired from the journey, so he said: "Father, you'd better take a rest first. I'll come back later."

Meng Chun was about to nod when he heard someone speaking outside the study. It seemed that the housekeeper was stopping people from disturbing the master. Then the voice rose and Meng Yong's shout came in: "Brother! Brother, are you back?"

Then he drove the housekeeper away impatiently: "Go away, go away! I have something important to do with my brother, if you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I betrayed you?!"

To be honest, the housekeeper really didn't take this second master seriously.

In a wealthy family like the Meng family, ability speaks for itself.

Even if I am the butler, my real power is greater than that of the second master.

If nothing else, the second master can only wait to receive the dividends, but the housekeeper himself often patrols the shop with the eldest master and goes out to discuss business.

Except for the eldest master, I'm afraid every shop in the Meng family has to sell him the reputation of being the housekeeper, and from time to time, they have to show him some "filial piety".

The second master went to the shop and bossed around. Although the clerks gave him a lot of respect, he couldn't get a penny. But as a housekeeper, it was different. He could get money at any time.

Even at home, in front of the great master, if you don’t believe it, just try talking and see who the great master will listen carefully to!

The housekeeper himself is waiting outside the study, waiting to be seen. Why do you, the idle second master, want to jump in the queue? Humph!

The butler said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Second Master, the eldest master is discussing matters with the eldest son. Please wait a moment."

"Get out! Someone, give him to me and sell him!" Meng Yong shouted in a rough voice.
