Zhang Song originally thought that there would be strength in numbers, so maybe one of his classmates would have seen it.
I didn’t have high expectations at all. After all, if he and his classmates met and got to know each other, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be from such a good family background.
So the first few shook their heads, and he was not disappointed either.
Leng Buding was startled by Jia Zhi's voice and looked over, "Brother Jia, have you ever seen such a person?"
Jia Zhi nodded, "I just don't know if it's what you're looking for, but I do know that there is someone about the same age as you mentioned, who is good-looking and has a mole on his left eyebrow."
"Who is he?" Zhang Song asked hurriedly.
Jia Zhi felt even more strange and well behaved. Zhang Song asked what this person was doing. He seemed quite anxious.
But they had a good relationship and he didn't hide anything from him.
Immediately he said: "When I went to the town hall to look for my father, I ran into this man several times by chance, but I didn't know him before, so I asked my father and found out that he was Meng Tingsheng, the son of our chief Meng Tingsheng. "
"Meng Tingsheng?" A classmate exclaimed, "Is it that playboy Meng Tingsheng? I just heard my sister-in-law gossiping with the mother-in-law next door yesterday about this Meng Tingsheng! So Brother Jia, you have seen him! Then he is Is it really as rumored that he is more beautiful and fairer than women?"
Jia Zhi touched his nose and said, "It's not a rumor. He is indeed prettier than women."
The first time he saw him, he almost teased him because he didn't know his identity!
After all, this was the first time he had seen such a handsome man.
Later I found out that he was the pavilion chief's son, so I didn't dare to look any further.
The pavilion chief?
This is indeed a very good family, and he is also a son of an official family. Although the pavilion chief is not a high-ranking official, he is not ranked high.
But Zhang Song also knew that the pavilion chief's wife was a brother and sister to the county magistrate of Dongling County.
The chief of the pavilion was not well-known, but the county magistrate was a serious county official.
With such a relationship, the status of the Meng family is there.
He had heard that Meng Tingzhou, the eldest son of the pavilion chief, was a capable scholar and was currently studying at the county school, but he had not heard of Meng Tingsheng.
Therefore, when he heard Wang Jie exclaim like this, he immediately asked curiously: "Brother Wang sounds like he knows a lot about Meng Tingsheng?"
Although Wang Jie is a scholar, he is also very lively and loves gossip. As long as he knows what he usually hears on the streets, Zhang Song and others will know about it.
His family opened a small tavern, where many people came to drink every day. People came and went, and there was a lot of news.
He was also very talkative, and as soon as Zhang Song asked, he couldn't wait to throw out what little he knew.
"We, Mr. Meng Tingzhou, have two sons in total, but these two sons are in the same world. The eldest son Meng Tingzhou has been smart since he was a child, and he is good at reading. He was a boy student at the age of fourteen, and then he was a scholar and entered the university. I went to the county school to study, but now that a few years have passed, I heard that I could have taken the provincial examination a long time ago, but people rushed to Jieyuan and wanted to be more confident before they could succeed and become a blockbuster, so they never finished."
Meng Tingzhou, Zhang Song and others all know this, so there is no need for Wang Jie to talk nonsense.
Wang Jie also knew it, so even if he hadn't said enough, he quickly told him about it, changed his tone, and continued: "It stands to reason that if the eldest son is so capable, the younger son should not be too bad, right?"
"On the contrary!"
"I heard that Meng Tingsheng has been naughty and mischievous since he was a child. He is a little bully. Meng Tingsheng can't control him at all. The pavilion chief's wife also loves him. More importantly, the Gao County Prime Minister also loves this nephew because he himself has no son.
I brought this nephew into the house to raise him since he was a child. He is said to be a nephew, but in fact he is almost like a son."
"So we are not very familiar with Meng Tingsheng. He has been living in the county and rarely comes back."
"The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the woman next door to our house work as a wet nurse in the county town, and she knows a lot about the reputation of the county prime minister's nephew.
I heard that Meng Tingsheng was a well-known playboy in the county. He started hanging out at fireworks venues at the age of thirteen and never tired of it. At the age of fifteen, he had five or six aunts in his own courtyard. This is no secret in the county! I heard that Meng Tingsheng was a well-known playboy in the county.
Most other families are unwilling to marry their daughters to him, which is why he is nineteen this year and has not yet married a wife."
"But I heard that he is not in a hurry, he is eager to get a wife, because he is good-looking and has stolen the hearts of many little girls. The aunts in his room can't even fit in the courtyard. There are fireworks.
Women are also ordinary innocent girls, fat and thin, tall and short, plump and slender, they are almost in the backyard of the magistrate, and no one cares about them, how happy are they?"
The magistrate of Dongling County is also a womanizer. The aunt in the thirty-sixth bedroom in the backyard is a household name in the entire Dongling County.
Meng Tingsheng can be compared with the county magistrate. It is conceivable that he has many aunts in his courtyard.
Zhang Song is now almost certain that the person his sister met was this Meng Tingsheng.
That woman in Maoer Alley was probably some kind of lover that Meng Tingsheng kept there.
Such a playboy, who plays with women like changing clothes, can he really be expected to be responsible for marrying his sister?
Zhang Song found it difficult.
It would be easy for his sister to come in and be an aunt.
But can Zhang Song's sister be someone else's aunt?
He's not a high official, he's just the nephew of the county magistrate, not worthy enough for him to send his sister as a concubine.
Zhang Song was so angry that he almost wanted to go back and teach his sister a lesson. He was so stupid. It was not good to give his body to anyone, but to such a useless playboy!
Feeling angry, Zhang Song still found an opportunity to go to the vicinity of Meng's house.
You still have to take a look with your own eyes to confirm whether this Meng Tingsheng is the one my sister said.
It was also a coincidence that not long after Zhang Song arrived near Meng's house, he happened to meet Meng Tingsheng coming out of his house.
Because Meng Tingsheng is good-looking, he conquers little girls with his appearance, so he usually doesn't want to ride in a carriage when going out for a walk. He walks around so that others can see his handsomeness. This is what he enjoys.
Zhang Song took a closer look at the man, and sure enough he saw a mole the size of a grain of rice on his left eyebrow, and the cloak on his body. Although the color was different, the embroidery on it was exactly the same as the one yesterday.
That's right.
This is Meng Tingsheng.
Zhang Song couldn't help but follow him.
I saw people going all the way to Maoer Hutong, Cangshan Lane, and entered the house with two red lanterns hanging at the door that my sister mentioned.
Zhang Song thought for a while, exited the alley, went to the old beggar gang at the alley, gave him a few copper coins, and asked him who lived in that house.
"Young Master asked about that house. There was a young widow living in that house. The man died just last year. Because he was beautiful, there were many widowers and second-rate men around here, but they all stared at her!
But this widow has some tricks up her sleeve. Somehow she fell in love with a great man two months ago. With that man under her control, those who are greedy for her will not dare to approach the door."
