Meng was very embarrassed and said: "She should be allowed to come out to meet people today, but she is really ill and her hair is unkempt."
"Look at what you said, we are not outsiders, we are all our own children. We don't have to take good care of her when she is sick! What should we do if we don't bother her?" Mrs. Zong said, "I will ask someone to send a box of snow lotus later. Finally, I will send her a box of snow lotus."
Suitable for recuperating sick bodies.”
Meng quickly thanked them with a smile and poured wine for several guests.
At the table over there, Jiang Yinzhi also entertained the male guests of the Zong family with full sincerity. Zong Tianbao was a junior, so Jiang Yinzhi poured him wine himself, so he naturally wanted to drink. Not only did he drink, but he also had to reciprocate.
Jiang Yinzhi first sighed with emotion and then thanked him. His eyes became red when he said that he was so emotional.
He just said: "If you talk too much, it will seem a bit false. I will express my feelings with wine!"
Lord Zong was a military commander and had a heavy drinking capacity.
Firstly, he and Jiang Yinzhi were related to each other, and secondly, Jiang Yinzhi mentioned his late father-in-law, Jiang Nuan's grandfather, General Yu.
Marquis Zong had received great kindness from the old general, and he was always grateful in his heart, so the two of them exchanged cups and drank.
Then Meng's two brothers also came, and the crowd invited them to the table.
The two of them were polite for a while and then sat down to drink.
Jiang Yinzhi originally invited them to accompany his guests, but he didn't want to run into trouble and be late.
The more people there are and the more lively it is, the more wine will naturally be consumed.
Although Zong Tianbao did not drink as much as his father and brother-in-law, it was still a lot for him.
The day was still short at this time, and the Jiang family's banquet was also late.
Meng apologized repeatedly and said: "We don't have enough manpower. Besides, we just moved here, so I'm bound to be a little uncomfortable with it. I apologize for that! It's really hard to hire people in the twelfth lunar month."
Of course, the Zong family would not care about this trivial matter, and instead comforted Meng.
During the banquet, Zong Tianbao wanted to relieve himself, and the Jiang family's servants hurriedly led him to the toilet.
The servants who came with the Zong family were also invited to have a banquet across the courtyard, which was also the rule for entertaining guests.
Zong Tianbao went out and came back with the servants of the Jiang family, and the wine got to his head.
Mrs. Zong was naturally worried about her son, and Mrs. Meng also said: "Their men will ignore alcohol as soon as they see it. Tianbao is still a child, how can he resist it?"
Zong Tianbao said hurriedly: "I didn't drink too much. I just went out and felt a little dizzy when the cold wind blew. It should be fine if I drink some tea and take a rest."
Meng was very concerned and said: "If you don't mind it, go and lie down in Hui'er's room, but don't make the drinking happen, it will be uncomfortable."
Mrs. Zong also said: "Don't hold on so hard."
Meng called someone to say: "Send Master Zong to Hui'er's house to rest, and ask the kitchen to prepare sobering soup. At least one person should be left in front of you to take care of him. Prepare tea, water and towels. Don't neglect it."
Mrs. Zong knew that Mr. Meng was a careful and considerate person, and if she took too much care of herself, she would appear to be distrustful of others.
Not mentioning that Zong Tianbao went to rest, everyone at the table continued to eat, drink, talk and laugh.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Mrs. Zong said, "It's getting late. We've been disturbing here for most of the day, so it's time to stop."
The Jiang family naturally wanted to be polite, but they didn't force it.
Mrs. Zong took Jiang Nuan's hand and said, "Good boy, do you like the things my predecessor asked them to give you? If there is anything else you want, just tell me."
Jiang Nuan smiled and shook his head and said: "You gave too much, I can't use it, even if I divide it between my younger brothers and sisters, it's still too much! I don't lack anything, so don't always give it to me."
"Silly boy, you are just like my biological daughter," Mrs. Zong looked at Jiang Nuan lovingly and said, "When you have time, remember to come to our house and talk with me to relieve your boredom."
Guyan
Then he said: "It's time to wake up Tianbao. It's time to go home."
Meng said: "I'll ask someone to invite you, don't be busy, don't risk the wind."
After saying that, he asked the maid to go and deliver the message.
However, after a long time, Zong Tianbao was not seen, and even the maid who went to deliver the message was nowhere to be seen.
Meng called the mother-in-law in front of her: "Mother Pan, go see why Si'er hasn't come back yet."
Pan's mother went and came back half a day later, feeling a little panicked.
Meng was a little unhappy when he saw him, but since there were guests there, he asked patiently: "Is Master Zongda awake? Is there anything else that makes you feel uncomfortable?"
Mother Pan looked embarrassed and said, "Madam, we can't find Master Zong!"
"Can't find it?" Meng was puzzled, "Isn't it in Hui'er's room?"
"We searched all over the young master's yard," Pan's mother said hurriedly, "We couldn't find him anyway."
"Have you gone to relieve yourself?" Meng asked.
"We've all looked for it, but still can't find it," Pan's mother said.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zong hurriedly asked: "Where are the people who follow Tianbao?"
Her son had already died once, and Mrs. Zong was already frightened.
When she heard that her son could not be found anywhere, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Don't panic," Meng said quickly, "Our family is not big, so he must not have gone out. If you look carefully, you will definitely find him."
Then he said: "Didn't I say that you must keep someone behind you? Where are the people following you?"
"I originally asked Ping An and Jixiang to follow me. The kitchen was too busy today, so I called Jixiang over to help." Pan's mother explained, "Ping An served Master Zong and drank the sobering soup and lay down, then went to set up the tea stove. We
There was no tea in the young master's house, so he went to the master's study to look for it. He didn't even enter the house when he came back, and was boiling water outside. When Si'er went to invite him, he went back to the inner room and couldn't find anyone."
When everyone heard that they couldn't find Zong Tianbao, they stopped eating and drinking. They all said, "It's dark, don't let him fall in the cold. Everyone, hurry up and look for him."
People are looking for lanterns, people are looking for lanterns, and people are wearing clothes.
The men moved quickly and got out first.
Mrs. Meng asked Mrs. Zong and her daughter to wait in the room.
At this time, Xiaodie, the maid in front of Jiang Qing, ran over in a panic, panting and crying.
When Meng saw it, he couldn't help scolding him: "What are you crying about?! There are now guests here, how can you behave like this!"
"Something happened!" Xiaodie was confused and stamped her feet, "Something happened to our second young lady!"
"Ah?! But he's seriously ill?!" Meng said in shock, "Go and call the doctor!"
"No, ma'am," Xiaodie shook her head, "Yes...yes..."
"Tell me what's going on!" Meng was anxious.
Xiaodie glanced at Mrs. Zong, then at Jiang Nuan, and said, "There are not enough manpower, so I had to go and boil medicine for the second lady. When I brought the medicine and entered the room, I saw... I saw... Master Zong was standing beside the second lady.
On the bed!"
"Ah?!" Everyone was shocked. The tea bowl in Mrs. Zong's hand fell directly to the ground, and Mrs. Meng stood up from her chair in fright.
Zong Yuxiang's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly went to see Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded.
