Mrs. Meng's words attracted the side glances of the three shopkeepers, who were obviously very unhappy, "Madam, you are so arrogant. If we only have a few taels of silver, we can just give it to your second young master."
Mr. Meng glanced at Mrs. Meng, meaning to tell her to shut up. How could Mrs. Meng be willing? Because his always excellent son was being collected by so many people for debts, he thought that these people must be deliberately making things difficult for others, "How much money is there?
If Shopkeeper Wang doesn't explain it clearly, I will sue the government and let the county magistrate make the decision."
"You woman, shut up," Master Meng shouted, "Why are you inserting yourself into a man's family affairs? You have so much time to get Tianqi back to me."
Mrs. Meng couldn't help but feel angry.
"Shopkeeper Wang, Shopkeeper Mao, Shopkeeper Fang, Tianqi is really not in the house right now. Do you think we can wait until he comes back tomorrow to discuss this matter? Do you still not believe in my character, Meng Zhanyuan?"
"It's not that I can't trust Master Meng, it's just that the amount of silver involved is too large. You see, so many people in the yard are implicated in this. We'd better wait here for Master Meng," Shopkeeper Fang said politely, "
This matter should have come over a few days ago to make it clear. If the second young master hadn't said that the goods would arrive in the next two days, we wouldn't have waited so long."
Mr. Meng became anxious and asked Meng Tianbo, "Bo'er, what do you think of this matter?"
Meng Tianbo stood up and said solemnly to the three shopkeepers, "My second brother is indeed not in the house today. Even if we stay all night, we may not be able to wait for him. Why don't we all go back to rest and wait for him to come back?
Let’s just invite three people over. There’s a basis for right and wrong, right?”
"What the young master said is not unreasonable, but the money is too big. It will be difficult for us to deal with those people when we go out now." Shopkeeper Wang pointed to the people in the yard.
Meng Tianbo curled up his lips, raised his chest and said, "As the saying goes, a monk can't escape the temple if he can escape, and he can't escape the fifteenth day if he escapes the first year of junior high school. The shopkeepers are still afraid that our men from the Meng Mansion will escape. It's so late all night.
Sleeping will not help, and you will be even less energetic tomorrow."
The three people nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "This is quite pleasant to my ears."
"Tomorrow at three o'clock at noon, the three of you will come again. I will give you an explanation then." Meng Tianbo gave the final guarantee, because only he knew where Meng Tianqi was at this time, leaving others to search the capital.
Can't find it. Two shadows have been following Meng Tianqi these days, and Meng Tianqi's whereabouts appear every day.
"Well, since the eldest young master has said so, let's go back first. We will come here again at three o'clock tomorrow noon." Shopkeeper Fang and the other three walked to the yard and said to those people, "Everyone
Boss and shopkeeper, it’s too late today, we’ll come back tomorrow, Master Meng promises to give us an explanation.”
There was an uproar below.
"If you are worried, you can stand at the door of Meng's shop. You won't be afraid that Meng Tianqi won't come out when the time comes." This was the final decision of the three shopkeepers Fang.
"That's pretty much it."
"Then let's go and find a better store to guard tomorrow."
A huge group of people suddenly poured out of the courtyard of Wentao Building, and it felt much quieter instantly. Mr. Meng was so angry that he could not sit still, and only walked around the flower hall, anxious. Mrs. Meng did not dare to be angry at this time.
As soon as he said it, he hoped that Meng Tianqi would not come back, otherwise Master Meng would not let him go.
Xu Ruoshui watched the excitement from the sidelines, but the protagonist did not appear, but found that Meng Tianbo's natural majesty even overshadowed Master Meng's aura.
"Bo'er, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Mr. Meng couldn't make up his mind for a moment, "Apocalypse is really confused. I've already told him about this matter. It's not feasible. How can the goods in the Western Regions be so simple?
, if you encounter a sandstorm, you will never come back."
It turned out that Master Meng had known about it for a long time. Xu Ruoshui vaguely remembered that a few months ago, when he was greeting Mrs. Meng, when he met Meng Tianqi several times, he always came to see Mr. Meng in a hurry. When Wang Mengjiao formally paid a formal visit to Mrs. Meng for the first time,
, Mrs. Meng also mentioned this matter, but Meng Tianqi confidently said that it had been dealt with. Unexpectedly, it would come to light a few months later.
"Dad~~~What's so exciting?"
Everyone turned around and saw Meng Tianqi leaning crookedly on the courtyard door, his face flushed unnaturally, his eyes very blurry. It didn't take much thinking to know that he had drunk too much, and he didn't bump into those people before and after.
.
"Come here!" Master Meng scolded.
"Why are you so cruel?" Meng Tianqi couldn't stand firm when he turned around, and fell to the ground. It was strange that there was no servant around to wait on him.
"Oh, Qi'er, did you fall?" Mrs. Meng was filled with pity and cursed at Baoju and Baolan in the yard, "You two are dead people, and you didn't even support the second young master."
The two of them helped Meng Tianqi to the flower hall. Master Meng became angry when he saw his disheveled and drunken appearance. How could he have thought of handing over the family business to this son in the first place?
"Pfft," Mr. Meng picked up a cup of hot tea and threw it directly on Meng Tianqi's face, telling him to wake up.
When Meng Tianqi was poured with tea, his whole body bounced up, "Oh, it's burning me to death, it's burning me to death," he looked like a clown, and Xu Ruoshui felt relieved when he saw it.
"Master, what are you doing? Do you want to burn the child to death?" Mrs. Meng protected Meng Tianqi behind her. At this time, Meng Tianqi was already seven points awake, but she still didn't know why Master Meng treated him like this.
.
"Dad, you want to scald the child to death. The child just went to drink a glass of wine. Do you need to be so angry? Your son is very pitiful now. He has a house and can't go back. He has a concubine, which means he has no life."
Just like a concubine." Meng Tianqi complained.
Mrs. Meng turned around and said, "What? You said that neither Ying'er nor Mengjiao let you enter the house?"
"No..." Meng Tianqi rubbed his head and said, "Mengjiao is pregnant and the baby cannot go. As for her cousin, she said she was not feeling well, so her son went out to look for her."
"Unfilial son," Mr. Meng pulled Mrs. Meng away, reached out and gave Meng Tianqi a slap in the face, which made him dizzy. He only shouted, "What are you doing? If you beat the child to death, no one will inherit your family business."
.”
There was a loud thunder on the ground, which undoubtedly hit Mr. Meng hard. "Kneel down. If you don't tell me clearly about the good things you have done today, I will beat you to death."
"Master, can't you say no tomorrow? You will have to make a noise in the middle of the night," Mrs. Meng grabbed the angry Master Meng and almost knelt down to beg.
This time, Master Meng did not let Meng Tianqi go, and asked angrily, "Shopkeeper Fang, tell me everything about them, otherwise, get out of this house."
