"Here you go," Mr. Meng turned around and pointed at the chair. "Sit down and talk."
After the two of them sat down, he stood up again and handed the post to Meng Tianbo's hand, "This is the post from Lord Anyang. You all have a look at it and see how to best greet him."
Meng Tianbo opened the red post. The general meaning of it was that the Marquis and his family would be coming to visit in half a month. This was already known, but Mrs. Meng turned to the wall and reflected. The reception naturally fell on Meng Tianbo and his wife.
Meng Tianbo read it and forwarded it to Xu Ruoshui. She was now the housekeeper, so she first wanted to know who might be coming to Lord Hou's Mansion. "Dad, do you have a list of the distinguished guests coming to Lord Hou's Mansion?"
"I will ask Mr. Wang to send it to you later," Mr. Meng has already thought of this.
Xu Ruoshui was a little worried. After all, she didn't know much about the housekeeper. "My daughter-in-law is a housekeeper for the first time to receive the Marquis. I might make some mistakes. Why don't I let my mother make the arrangements? My daughter-in-law will assist me. You see..."
"No need," Mr. Meng denied, "Jingxuan has already prepared it. We just need to think about the banquet. If you don't understand anything, just come and ask me. As for your mother, try to go as little as possible to avoid outsiders.
The comings and goings disturbed her purification."
This...if Xu Ruoshui doesn't go to Chunhui Courtyard, Mrs. Meng will be suspicious and may even say that she doesn't respect her. It seems that she needs to discuss this with Meng Tianbo.
"Besides, Bo'er, do you think it's time for you to help dad? You see Tianqi is so ineffective. Even after so many years of being helped by dad, he still can't stand alone. It's just a name for himself." This is the main purpose of Mr. Meng.
Although I am not completely disappointed with Meng Tianqi, I still hope to be prepared.
Meng Tianbo lowered his head and pondered. He had already thought about this issue when he showed that he was awake, but after a trip to Miao'an, he made a decision, "My son is willing to share the burden for his father." This was not his original intention, but this was the only way.
Only in this way can he monitor what Meng Tianqi does, which can be regarded as fulfilling his filial piety as a son.
"That's very good." Then he saw Mr. Meng's smile, and he picked up the account book on the table, "Here are all the account books of the eighteen industries involved in our house. Bo'er, take it and take a look. First,
Get familiar with it, and when the time comes, you can take charge of it on your own."
Meng Tianbo saw Xu Ruoshui give him an encouraging look, so he took it with both hands, heavy and heavy.
"My wife will go back first," Xu Ruoshui resigned, and Meng Tianbo naturally stayed in Wentao Building to look at the account books.
Before returning to Ningxiang Hall, she went to Jingxuan alone. She saw that there were maids guarding it, cleaning it every day, and guards to prevent the things inside from being stolen by thieves again. Xu Ruoshui was not worried about thieves. That book
It's just Meng Tianbo's trick. Come and take a look, it also means that you have some confidence.
The other thing is to wait for Manager Wang to send over the list so that we can actually arrange the banquet.
But just as they walked through the winding corridor, they saw Mrs. Wang coming from the direction of Ningxiang Hall. When she saw Xu Ruoshui, she made a coy salute and said, "My eldest mistress, Madam asked you to come over."
Thinking that Mrs. Meng asked him to go there because of the Marquis's affairs, Xu Ruoshui went there with Wang's mother. After Mrs. Meng experienced the quarrel in the morning, she looked a little sad, "Late Qiu, your father asked you to go to Wen Tao
Is the building here just to entertain the Marquis?"
It turned out that as soon as Xu Ruoshui and the two left the Ningxiang Hall, a maid reported to Mrs. Meng. Wang's mother was waiting for Xu Ruoshui to come back in the Ningxiang Hall. Before she got impatient, she went back, and the two of them happened to meet.
Up.
"Mom, it's indeed for this matter, but Manager Wang hasn't sent the name card yet, so my daughter-in-law doesn't know who is coming. She will have to ask Mom for more guidance when the time comes."
"I'm relieved if you think so. Come here at this time every day. I eat more salt than you eat rice, so I won't go wrong." Mrs. Meng wanted to direct Xu Ruoshui, Xu Ruoshui
Although he knew this, he did not refuse. He smiled and agreed, "My daughter-in-law will come to bother my mother when the time comes."
Only then did Mrs. Meng stop holding Xu Ruoshui to talk and let her go back.
When he returned to the house, Meng Tianqi was already on the kang. He saw Xu Ruoshui coming in and asked her to sit down, "What did mother tell you?"
"It's nothing more than the fact that Mr. Hou and his family are coming over. Let me report there every day."
"You agreed?"
"Can I still have a way out?" Xu Ruoshui asked.
"Since you agreed, you will have a chance to deal with it. Taking this opportunity, I want to find out Tianqi's accounts, otherwise there will be no chance in the future." He said seriously.
Xu Ruoshui naturally understands this truth, and no one is more eager for revenge than she is.
"What do you think of Bai Meilan's death?" Xu Ruoshui asked after thinking deeply for a while, "It's not that simple. If she committed suicide, who covered the well with the boards and stones?"
"Are you doubting Tianqi or your mother?" Meng Tianbo asked bluntly.
"mother!"
Meng Tianqi was stunned for a moment and said, "Now that everyone in the White House has left, it will be difficult to find out."
"Actually, the problem is very simple. You know it best in your heart."
"How to say?"
"Is the child in Bai Meilan's belly yours?" Xu Ruoshui stared at Meng Tianqi's expression closely, not missing the slightest change. He only saw that he frowned a little, as if he was remembering, but did not answer directly, he just asked, "
Is this related to my mother’s hand?”
Xu Ruoshui nodded, "Mother sent Zi Yan here so that she could be pregnant with your child. Everyone can see how happy she is. But as Zi Yan said, mother had no expression when she knew Bai Meilan was pregnant.
, I didn’t even tell dad, which makes me suspect that mom doesn’t want your child to be born, especially the child your wife is pregnant with.”
Meng Tianqi looked at the woman in front of him and was speechless for a moment. Wasn't this late Qiu too smart? He analyzed everything so accurately. He suddenly felt that she had some grudge against Mrs. Meng.
"You take care of this reception, and I will find a way to do the rest." He lowered his head and flipped through the account book again, "I already know a little bit about Tianqi's affairs outside. The time has not come yet, and someone will come to settle accounts with him.
, In addition, you can find a way to get the account book for this renovation of Jingxuan, I will use it."
Xu Ruoshui nodded and suddenly felt a little dizzy. Maybe it was because she hadn't eaten yet today. She left the inner room and went outside to find some pastries to fill her stomach. Yan'er secretly came over to talk, "Did Mother Hu take the wrong medicine recently?"
I often ask my eldest mistress if you still hate her."
