"Forget it," Huo Mingfu said, "I guess they can finally eat a meal of beef. As the host, we must be treated to guests."

To put it inexplicably, it can be understood that everyone is on the road, the meal is simple, and finally can eat beef; it can also be understood that they have never eaten the local buns and finally have the chance to eat them.

But no matter how you listen, it is more like calling Chu Qing and the others a local bun.

Chu Qing didn't care and still looked at the shopkeeper: "Did you hear it? Previous one, pack three!"

"Haha, okay, I'll go and do it now." The shopkeeper "Haha" a moment, and looked at Chu Qing sympathetically: These young men are thinking about you, just be crazy!

Sure enough, after Huo Mingfu said this, Meng Xiangong nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Mingfu is right. It's a rustic bun. Just give it to them, just give it to them."

After saying that, he looked at the sons of the county magistrates, and those people expressed their opinions:

"Yes, I'll listen to Brother Huo, otherwise it's uncertain when I can eat the next meal."

"Hmph, it's hard to say whether you can eat the next meal!"

"Just eat one meal."

Obedient and listen to the sound, which means they will cause trouble? Zhuo Yao glanced at their table a few times, then walked out of the restaurant, and came back after a while, holding two bowls of ice drinks in his hand.

There is a ice drink next door, but it is cooler and there is no ice chip.

Chu Qing tasted the ice drink brought back by Zhuo Yao freely, but he knew in his heart that just as soon as he went in, the boys outside knew that they would stare at these seven young men.

Well, the young master who was held by everyone was surnamed Huo. Chu Qing stretched his ears to the table while eating.

"Liulang, what are your elder brother busy with?" Huo Mingfu asked Xiang Meng Xiangong.

Meng Xiangong: "Business is not easy this year. My uncle went to the east and my elder brother went to collect autumn tea and it will take a few days to come back."

Huo Mingfu played with a jade tablet, which was given to him by Meng Xiansheng and Meng Xiangong. It was white and smooth, with a faint honey color on one corner.

He nodded and said, "You all say that business is difficult, so it seems that my uncle will be worried this year."

Meng Family? Chu Qing and Zhuo Yao looked at each other and looked at the table over there with their own light.

Meng Chun, the head of the Meng family, has died. Zhuo Yao doesn't know about this, and Chu Qing doesn't plan to let him know about it.

Hou Ze once said that Xiaobao would not even let Chu Qing tell me. If Shui Maomao hadn't asked him to come and inform him in private, Chu Qingzhen would have been kept in the dark.

Meng Chun died for a while before he could be discovered. Even if he found out, he was just missing. So it seems that the Meng family did not discover it now. Otherwise, the young master of the Meng family would not say anything about harvesting autumn tea.

Something about it.

It seems that the younger generation of the Meng family is currently maintaining the operation of the family business.

They didn't say anything worthy of Chu Qing's attention.

The dishes were served in plates, and Chu Qing and Zhuo Yao had a meal quickly, and they quickly paid the bill and left.

The girl named Fang'er looked a little anxious. She hadn't even asked the name of the young master yet, so why did she leave?

Unfortunately, her mother's eyes were too powerful, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

In the evening, the boys sent by Zhuo Yao came back and reported the results they found out to Chu Qing:

"The oldest of the seven people was Huo Mingfu, the eldest son of Huo Weiting, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice. Wei Han, the head of the Wei family in Songjiang Prefecture, was his uncle;

This Wei family is also a big family that has been entrenched in Songjiang Prefecture for nearly a hundred years. Like the Meng family, the family has a wide family business, especially the Changshengku. Half of the Changshengku in several nearby prefectures belongs to the Wei family and half to the Kong family;

The Prince Hou was the son of Meng Chun’s wife’s uncle, and the Hou family had always had a good relationship with the Meng family;

Another one is Kong Pugao, the nephew of Chongyu Mansion. This Kong Pugao is known as the richest man in Jiangnan. It is said that he started with black glaze porcelain, so I don’t know the specific ones;

The eldest son of the fourth wife of the Meng family was Meng Xiangong. His father was Meng Chun's fourth brother. He was not very valued. He paid a small dividend ratio in the Meng family and had always been flattering the head of the family;

However, they heard in the chat that his second uncle was crazy and ran to the servant's room every day to grab the lamp oil for him;

The Meng family, Hou family, Wei family, and Kong family are said to be the "four major families" within the six prefectures in Jiangnan, and almost cover all industries in Jiangnan;

Compared with other aristocratic families, they are better than aristocratic families in terms of financial resources;

The other three are the children of several newly appointed county magistrates who took office a month ago. These magistrates have overcome the shortage of officials involved in reselling official grain."

Drink lamp oil? This tastes strong.

Hou Ze did not tell Chu Qing about the incident of Meng Yong being punished because Shui Maomao only asked to say that Meng Chun was dead.

It seems that the younger generation of these "four major families" gathered together and was very close to the young master of the Left Assistant Minister of Justice.

At the same time, Xiaobao was also listening to the report from Shui Duanfu and others, and the content of the report was roughly the same:

"All of them went, and the four families sent people to Chongyu Mansion to pick up the son of the high-ranking official. Meng Xiansheng went to the countryside to collect tea, so he sent Meng Xiangong, the fourth housekeeper;

Meng Xiansheng's cousin surnamed Hou, who had been older for several months, also went there, but they probably won't come back for a while. I heard that the ship hit the Kuimen River was hit, and I don't know when the ban will be lifted."

Xiaobao nodded: "Well, it seems that they are still living step by step and not finding anything."

He turned to Hou Ze and asked, "Brother Monkey Bastard, have you sent a letter back?"

Hou Ze slapped Xiaobao in the back of the neck: "You are a monkey, your whole family..."

Xiaobao pointed his finger at him, and Hou Ze swallowed the words back. He didn't dare to say that Xiaobao's whole family was too evil and could create something that could cut mountains and split stones.

Hou Ze answered Xiaobao's question seriously: "How can it be that fast! The news has only been passed for a few days? Besides, can you tell me if your "poor family is OK"?

If not, I personally took people north, so I could go to Kyoto to open my eyes and gain insights!”

Shui Maomao interrupted: "There is a gap in the middle, and the boat gang is only entrenched in Chongyu Mansion. There are only a few small territories outside, and the land is not connected to the north!

I hope our ship can help deliver letters to Kyoto, but it may not be faster than your two eagles."

Xiaobao said: "Didn't I ask the Kitchen God to help in the middle? It should be a big problem, it's a test for him."

Shui Maomao: "This is a small matter for him. I suggest you, let the Kitchens defeat the Beggars' Sect and take it over. This is called a letter of fame!

There are many people on the Kitchen God, but look at who they are, and there are many people waiting for free, so he loves to keep them. If our boat gang has this kind of person, just go straight to the river!
