"Are you kidding? One cent? You look down on me too much." Meng Tianqi said.
Meng Tianbo looked like he was watching a good show. He had been so calm and unhurried from the beginning. He didn't forget to look at Xu Ruoshui when he found an opportunity. Once the things on his face were removed, he looked completely different from the front and back, but those pair of
The almond-shaped eyes remain unchanged, crystal clear.
"Then we might as well wait and see," Meng Tianbo was not in a hurry, "Mother Hu, prepare some refreshments for everyone, otherwise my mother and my wife will be hungry." Only then did he feel relaxed.
The aunt was very satisfied with her son's thoughtfulness and said with a smile, "Tianbo still knows how to be considerate. Late Qiu, you are more lucky than me." Xu Ruoshui lowered his face when he was told that, and a trace of pink appeared on his newly restored fair face, without any hint of pink.
The scar did not hinder her beauty.
Meng Tianqi had never taken a serious look at Xu Ruoshui in the past. He only knew that this sister-in-law always had a sallow face. Now that he looked at it, she was much more beautiful than any other woman he had ever seen. There was a hint of charm in her tranquility.
, but compared with Bai Meilan's kitsch, I found that I couldn't take my eyes away.
"Since my second brother has so much confidence in me, let's make a deal. If you make a penny back, I will leave here immediately. What do you think?" Meng Tianbo saw him staring blankly.
Xu Ruoshui, a little displeased, said, "If I don't get a penny, I will have the final say in this family's affairs."
"It couldn't be better." Mrs. Meng was afraid of saying something unfounded, so she agreed to the matter before Meng Tianqi could. "Old Wang, go get the pen and ink."
"Don't bother, I have it in my house." Meng Tianbo strode to the inner room and soon brought the pen and ink over. Mrs. Meng hurriedly started grinding it herself.
With the consent of Mr. Meng, Meng Tianbo took up the ink and wrote down the contract regarding his stay. After Meng Tianqi checked it, there was no objection, and both of them put their fingerprints on it.
The hour is the time to hold the lamp.
Meng Tianbo was afraid that Xu Ruoshui had worked too hard, so he said to her, "Late Qiu, otherwise you go back and take a rest."
How could Xu Ruoshui miss this good opportunity? She wanted to see Meng Tianqi fall from a high distance to an abyss with her own eyes. She couldn't help but glance at Meng Tianbo. He really listened to her words.
The concubine's words of good fortune made her feel a little guilty. "Late Qiu, I stole your husband and your blessing. Will you blame me underground?" Xu Ruoshui couldn't help but feel sad. Meng Tianbo's concern made her even more embarrassed.
"I can handle it."
The injuries on her body were so obvious that anyone with a discerning eye could see them clearly, including Mr. Meng, but he had more important things to deal with first. After the division of the family property was decided, Mrs. Meng's abuse of Xu Ruoshui could be tortured.
Mrs. Hu brought tea over, and the atmosphere in the flower hall seemed to have condensed. Apart from the floating smoke, there was no other sound. "Oh, everyone is sitting here." A sharp voice broke the tranquility, following the sound
In the past, it was Du Erniang who had been missing for a day and a night.
"Sister-in-law, you made it easy for me to find me. I stayed at the county magistrate's house for one night. The old lady was really polite and just left me to talk to me. That's why I didn't rush back." Du Erniang looked at herself
He said, "By the way, she has already agreed to let me take care of the princess's betrothal gift in late autumn. You see, she must have agreed. Am I not as good as a maid who was born to fill a house?"
"Clang," Meng Tianbo was holding the teacup. Before he could take a sip, he closed the lid of the teacup hard. Du Erniang was so scared that she covered her chest and said, "Oh, it's really scary. Tianbo, what's wrong with you kid?"
Are you still so naughty?" She didn't know yet that Meng Tianbo was sober.
"Second Aunt, if you don't mind, please sit down and have some tea." Xu Ruoshui didn't mind being said to be a maid, but politely asked Du Erniang to sit down.
The concubine murmured, "As expected of the general's daughter, ordinary people may not be able to achieve such qualities.
Du Erniang looked at Xu Ruoshui and exclaimed, "Oh, you are in late autumn? Why are you different from yesterday? You must have applied makeup on your face." She stepped forward, stretched out her hand and touched it, and her hands were smooth.
, but when he saw the scar, he withdrew his hand and looked down, his hands were covered with black and blue, "Who...who did this? Who is so cruel, he should be caught and sent to the government."
yes."
Du Erniang's voice was particularly noisy in the quiet flower hall. Mrs. Meng was worried when she saw it, "Second Aunt, can't the tea and cakes in my house stop your mouth?"
Du Erniang looked at Mrs. Meng curiously again, "Hey, sister-in-law, I didn't even look carefully just now. What's wrong with your forehead? Could it be that your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a fight?" Wu Xin said, just as she was clicking.
superior.
Those dripping eyes also saw the contract written in black and white on the table, "Today I will establish evidence as evidence that if Meng Tianqi cannot earn back a penny, Meng Tianbo will take over the family property; otherwise, Meng Tianbo will leave the Meng Mansion and the person making the contract will be Meng Tianbo."
Apocalypse Meng Tianbo." After Du Erniang finished reading, her mind changed, she was really right to ask me to come over, and now there will be a good show.
After reading this, she calmed down and sat down to drink tea and eat snacks.
Meng Tianqi and Mrs. Meng stretched their necks several times to look at the sky outside. When the little maid came over after lighting a lamp, Meng Tianqi's people also came.
It was a middle-aged man named Cao, known as Shopkeeper Cao. He wiped his sweat vigorously as soon as he came in. He looked particularly nervous in this early autumn. "Second Young Master, please come out. I have something to say to you."
explain."
Meng Tianqi stood up and introduced with his hands behind his back, "This is the shopkeeper of my shop. Let him talk about the situation of the shop now." After saying that, he turned to shopkeeper Cao and said, "Hurry up and get the banknotes."
?”
Shopkeeper Cao was sweating profusely. Seeing that Meng Tianqi didn't listen to him, he said again, "Second Master, please come out. I have something to say to you..."
"Why are you so secretive?" Mrs. Meng interrupted, "Didn't you hear what the second young master said?" No one is more anxious than the mother and son. The entire Meng Mansion is about to be obtained. From now on, this manor will
There is only one young master here, and it will not help even if Mr. Meng is partial to Meng Tianbo.
"Hey~~" Shopkeeper Cao patted his thigh and said anxiously, "Last night, I put all the goods from the Western Regions on the counter according to your instructions. I planned to do a lot of work today, but who knew that we would open the store in the morning?
, the streets were full of sellers selling products from the Western Regions, so I sent a boy to look around the city. There were no less than thirty or forty shops selling them. I thought that if our products were more refined, we would definitely be able to buy one.
Good prices, who knows, some of our families have them, and our prices are slightly higher than others."
