"My yard is nice, but it's a bit small. Mrs. Houye must have brought the young lady here with her. If you greet me here, it won't make people think that our Meng family has not treated us well. Late autumn, what do you think?" Mrs. Meng
Then he asked Xu Ruoshui.
Although Xu Ruoshui has been married for more than a year, she has never been to most of the Meng Mansion, so she wanted to take the opportunity to go out for a walk, "Mom, you know that my daughter-in-law stays in the house all day long. The things in this mansion are so exquisite.
Do you know where it is?"
"Look, late autumn is more prudent. Even if you want to go out for fun, you can find a high-sounding reason. Okay, okay, okay, I will teach you and Ying'er this task. Don't embarrass me then.
"Mrs. Meng joked.
Xu Ruoshui was a little confused about her being so tolerant. Mrs. Meng would never be tolerant, but she said, "My daughter-in-law can't hide her thoughts from my mother at all. What's the difference between this and taking off all her clothes?"
.” It really sounded like she was being coquettish.
"Sister-in-law, it seems that following you is a blessing." Fang Liying took advantage of the situation and laughed.
The four of them became more and more interested as they played. They even had lunch on the card table and had a great time until sunset. Fang Liying also made an appointment with Xu Ruoshui to meet at the lotus pond the next day.
Naturally, Xu Ruoshui would not just regard visiting the mansion as a pleasant thing. When he went back and told Meng Tianbo about it in the evening, he was a little confused.
"Did she really entrust you with the banquet place?"
"It's more real than real gold. I'm just worried. If I were to walk around such a big mansion, my legs would be broken." Xu Ruoshui rested her chin, her eyes a little sad, "Actually, Chunhui Courtyard is quite big.
Just need to put more
A few pots of flowers are enough, but my mother did not agree. Although the lotus flowers in the lotus pond have withered, putting some five-color carp in it and setting up one or two small boats is also a beautiful place. Why bother to think about it?
.”
After hearing this, Meng Tianbo was at a loss as to what to do. People's hearts are the most unpredictable. How could he guess like this? "I am familiar with the house, why don't I tell you which places are more suitable for banquets?"
"That's a good idea," Xu Ruoshui's spirit was suddenly lifted, and Zhao Yan'er brought over a pen and paper.
The two of them sat cross-legged facing each other. Meng Tianbo outlined the general situation of the mansion one by one, highlighting several places with beautiful scenery. He also did not omit the most deserted places in Meng's mansion.
"There are two places here and here. The pavilion connected to the winding corridor is not small, but it has been abandoned for a long time. You don't need to go, so as not to tire yourself." Meng Tianbo marked circles on the left and right sides of the second entrance.
Mrs. Meng gave up even the lotus pond with the best view. What other good place could catch her eye? Do they need to be renovated? It costs money, trouble and effort.
"Isn't it because my mother wants to spend this money deliberately?" Xu Ruoshui suddenly had an idea, "This way, I can cover up more for the second young master?"
Meng Tianbo's eyes stayed on her face for a moment, motionless, but he was already thinking about it. She was smart enough to draw inferences from one instance, but what kind of motive did she have when she said it? It seemed that she was close to Mrs. Meng.
, in fact, he is always vigilant and strictly protects himself.
"Don't interfere in this matter. Just find a few better places to tell your mother, and I will arrange the rest." Meng Tianbo suddenly did not want her to get involved in this secretly planned dispute.
Xu Ruoshui put away the outline map of the Meng Mansion and retorted, "Isn't it too late to tell me this now? It was you who asked me to help you at the cost of breaking my virginity."
"Don't be ungrateful. I won't be able to save you even if someone beats you up." Meng Tianbo knew that he had mishandled the matter, but he looked quite embarrassed when it was said so openly on the table.
Xu Ruoshui jumped off the kang, held up the map in his hand, and said to Meng Tianbo, "Just mind yourselves, you don't have to worry about my affairs."
One sentence seemed to make the relationship between the two people clear, and someone suddenly felt a little depressed.
Xu Ruoshui, who was behind the red silk cloth, looked at the map in his hand. With this, he could make a target. If Mrs. Meng really wanted to help Meng Tianbo, it would be better for him to do as she wished. As for what Meng Tianbo said about being 'beaten up'
It's also a possibility, just be careful.
I made an appointment with Fang Liying to visit the Meng Mansion tomorrow. I have to go to bed early tonight first.
Meng Tianbo pillowed his head with his hands. It seemed that he had to find someone to keep an eye on Meng Tianqi. Taking charge of so many businesses in the mansion made him have second thoughts. It seemed that his goal was to take over the entire Meng mansion.
Late at night, Meng Tianbo got up secretly and released a beam of sparks into the sky. After a while, two black figures jumped in, kneeling on one knee and saying, "Young Master!"
"Help me keep an eye on Tianqi, and report it to me if there is any trouble."
"Yes!" The two of them answered, holding hands. Meng Tianbo waved his hand, and the two of them jumped out again.
On the second day, Fang Liying accepted the appointment, but she didn't seem to have slept well. Her eyes were slightly blue and her expression was a little strange. Xu Ruoshui asked with concern, "Are you not feeling well? She seems to have lost energy."
Fang Liying's insomnia was simply because Meng Tianqi didn't rest in her room yesterday. Chun Jin said that the second master went to Wang Mengjiao's yard again, which made her almost throw something to relieve her anger, but she was still helping Mrs. Meng take care of it this time.
Regarding entertaining the Marquis, I felt a little more balanced.
The two passed through the third entrance and reached the lotus pond hand in hand, where they saw Meng Tianqizheng and Wang Mengjiao coming in.
"Second Young Master." Xu Ruoshui bent his knees slightly.
"Sister-in-law is busy," Meng Tianqi said with his hands behind his back. "I just said that Gillian and I would come over to my sister-in-law's place to have a look. What a coincidence, there's no need to go."
It was strange that he was looking at himself for no reason. Xu Ruoshui glanced at Wang Mengjiao and saw her standing behind Meng Tianqi, looking like a little woman, with a slightly red and shy face.
"Gillian, you've been pestering me to come to my sister-in-law so early in the morning. Now that she's here, you haven't said a word." Meng Tianqi turned around and said.
Xu Ruoshui smiled. It turned out that Wang Mengjiao came to see her. It seemed that today's itinerary had been spread, but Meng Tianqi, a grown man, actually accompanied Wang Mengjiao, and it seemed that he had a purpose.
"Sister-in-law, Gillian said she was bored, so I asked her to come to your place more often." Meng Tianqi's words made Fang Liying frown together, and she cursed in her heart, look at her charming look.
"Second Young Master and Aunt Wang are with us, don't worry."
Wang Mengjiao was overjoyed after hearing this. Yesterday she went back to her parents' home and pestered Liu Qiaoer for five thousand taels of silver. Liu Qiaoer scolded her, so she had to bite the bullet and said that she would wait until she took the position of the second young mistress of the Meng family.
Five thousand taels or ten thousand taels was not a problem. Liu Qiaoer took out five thousand taels of silver notes from the bottom of the box under her daughter's persuasion.
