Meng Yueyue and Lei Xiaopao attracted the attention of Chu Yuan and others. Shui Duanfu gestured to Xiaobao with his eyes, indicating that he had something to say.

There are so many children today that it’s hard to find a chance to talk alone.

So, Xiaobao ordered: Eat what you haven't finished quickly, and leave to enjoy the lotus!

Because of lunch, many people in the city went home to eat, and the streets were not so crowded.

The children got back on the road and walked towards the west gate.

Chu Yuan isolated Xiaobao behind him to give him a chance to listen to the message.

"That girl is the second wife of the Meng family. She is thirteen years old this year. Meng Xiansheng had revealed the intention of getting married to the Fourth Young Master Yao, one of the four elegant ladies in Fucheng, but for some reason it was ignored..." Shui Duanfu mentioned that he had been following the Meng family recently.

Tell Xiaobao the news you got.

Chu Yuan looked back at Xiaobao and Red Dragonfly. It was so dazzling that he couldn't even think about it.

Chu Yuan said: "Let's let it go? Then she insisted on throwing herself on you today. Could it be that it was your idea?"

Xiaobao trembled: "I'm only ten years old!"

Chu Yuan: "My girls are not big either."

Gan Lai: “If you have ambitions, it’s not your age that matters.”

Xiaobao: "..."

Chu Yuan: "..."

"May 5th" continued: "We can't find out any more information about that girl. You know, their girls usually don't come out very often;

Also, the one you escorted just now is called Lei Xiaopao, he is the follower of Meng Yong, the second roommate, and he has great skills."

This is interesting.

The girl wrestled in front of Xiaobao twice. It should be that the girl wanted to "make trouble", so why did her father's follower secretly follow him?

If he was giving orders to the mother and daughter, shouldn't he follow them blatantly?

Xiaobao: "I'm confused, why does it feel like a mantis stalking a cicada with an oriole behind?"

Because it is the Lotus Viewing Festival, on the way out from the West City Gate, you can see several calligraphy and painting works displayed side by side at intervals, which just serves as a guide.

This is the "Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition" held by the students of Qinggang Academy in response to "Praying for Blessings for Disaster Areas".

All calligraphy and painting works are made of silk provided free of charge by the Meng family as canvas, which can be said to be of extremely high quality.

Most of these works are created with the theme of "Daxuan Mountains and Rivers" and "Lotus Picking". There are meticulous paintings, ink paintings, and calligraphy displays of various schools.

Some students are not proficient in painting, so they show their talents in the form of poems and songs.

Every once in a while, you can see groups of students criticizing each other's works, and then doing the operation of "you praise me, I praise you, praise myself again and again".

Most students wore the uniforms of Qinggang College, but a few did not, such as "Fucheng Siya."

The works of "Fucheng Siya" are displayed side by side.

Meng Xiansheng is really talented. Not only did he create the painting "Listening to Music in the Lotus Pond", but he also copied poems about lotus and displayed them as calligraphy works.

Most of the students' calligraphy and paintings are vertical, but Meng Xiansheng's two works are both banners, which can be used as road signs and convenient for many people to stand in front and appreciate.

However, each of the other "Sanyas" has a vertical version of his work, and Meng Xian alone has two paintings, both of which are horizontal, which makes him stand out.

Could it be that this is the style of "the first of four elegances"?

Moreover, Meng Xiansheng would cast his eyes into the distance from time to time and keep wandering around, making other Sanya clearly feel that he was absent-minded.

Do you really think that you are the "first of the four elegances" and don't even bother to be in the same place with us? All three of them are dissatisfied, but they don't show it at all.

Fourth Young Master Yao couldn't help but ask: "Brother Meng, are you waiting for someone?"

Meng Xiansheng quickly came to his senses: "Oh, I heard that my cousin also went out to play today, but I didn't see her. I don't know who was accompanying her, so I was a little worried."

Hearing the mention of his "cousin", Fourth Young Master Yao stopped asking.

No one knows that Meng Xiansheng spent so much effort writing and painting because he wanted to take advantage of today's "Lotus Viewing Festival" to have an "unexpected encounter" with Xiaobao, and then use calligraphy and painting as a guide to have a good relationship with Xiaobao.

Treasure "There is no going back on friendship".

Of course, there is also the cousin factor - he doesn't want to see his cousin.

According to what his father said, the second uncle intended to marry Chu Qing, which was something neither he nor his father wanted to see.

My father always said that my second uncle was not smart enough, but in his opinion, Meng Xiansheng, he was the smartest person.

Just look at what he does. He doesn't do anything he worries about. Of course, his father won't allow him to do it, but he never makes suggestions for the family's business, and he never supports a penny when he is short of money, but the benefits are half.

There is a lot of silk to get.

The eldest brother-in-law did all the work, and the second mate was well-off and prosperous. They were asked to consider the interests of the family, marry with the big family, and revitalize the business, but they refused and even talked about Meng Yingying.

If the second uncle and Chu Qing are allowed to join the in-laws, it will not only benefit them as a second wife, but Chu Qing's status alone will make the family value the second wife.

Because his father, Meng Chun, failed to invest in Wu Jichang, the governor of Qianbei Town, not only did he spend a lot of money, but he even helped his daughter.

Up to now, Meng Yingying is still keeping her dowry alone without contacting her natal family. There is a farm of more than 500 acres in Kyoto and several shops.

As a businessman and a family head, Meng Chun's performance has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and the voice of distrust within the family has gradually increased and is getting worse.

Therefore, even if you invest in Chuqing, you still need a big house to invest.

Lest one day in the future, their second brother-in-law compete for the position of head of the family: even if he can inherit, he will still be under the control of the second brother-in-law. After all, he is an uncle, and he is not easy to disobey as a nephew.

Fortunately, the women in their second wife are stupid, which adds a lot of resistance.

The second aunt was constantly trying to stir up marriage plans with various merchants, which made the family dissatisfied with the second wife.

There is also that cousin who is as stupid as her mother, crying and making trouble every day and refusing to get married.

What's the use?

The Meng family raises you with fine clothes and fine food, and pays close attention to your food, drink, and fun. Do you know that none of the boys in the family have the same treatment as you?

Why do you let the family spend so much money on you? Isn't it just to make a marriage that will be beneficial to the Meng family in the future?

Otherwise, do you girls think you have anything worthy of making your family pay so much?

Since you are a member of the Meng family and enjoy the best life, you should be conscious of fighting for the interests of the family. That is also your responsibility!

Look at the men of the Meng family. Didn't they happily marry because their family had arranged a marriage? Who has ever made such a fuss as you?

I can't lift them with my shoulders or carry them with my hands. I think I have learned a lot of music, chess, calligraphy and painting since I was a child, but I don't care about anything at home?

To put it bluntly, you can't even figure out what your mother's trousseau shop is doing, so what's the point of being pretentious!

Look at the other sisters, aren't they all married when they should be married? Which one of them is not still living in fine clothes and fine food? Even if they are concubines, no one will be hungry!
