Tang Shiyue continued to show off: "You must be a generous person, and you are very independent in doing things and are not influenced by others."
This kid must be used to talking the same way. He is generous with his actions and rewards a lot, so his subordinates will rush to please him and follow his wishes in everything.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to brew so much wine at once, without even conducting experiments. Whether others did not persuade him or did not listen, it is enough to prove that this child has this kind of character.
The expression on Meng Xiyang's face gradually turned into awe: "Yes, yes! You, you can tell fortunes?"
Tang Shiyue smiled: "No."
He didn't dare to ask in detail, he just kept that weird look on his face and looked at her quietly.
Now in his mind, she has probably risen from "a village girl with some money" to "a powerful person who is somewhat invisible".
Tang Shiyue slowly drank two sips of tea.
Then she said: "I can't marry you."
Meng Xiyang was stunned: "Why?"
Tang Shiyue said calmly: "I may not be as rich or powerful as you, but the biggest difference between you and me is, do you know what it is?"
Meng Xiyang asked: "What is it?"
"My reliance is 'me', and your reliance is 'the Meng family'."
The naughty kid didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
"That is to say, everything I have is obtained through my own efforts. If it were not for me, Fushou Winery and Tangjia Winery would immediately collapse and cease to exist."
She paused and said word by word, "However, the Meng family will continue to move on without you. No matter which business it is, it will not be affected."
Meng Xuanyang was speechless.
She smiled and said: "So, you use the Meng family to suppress me, and I won't win without force. If you really want to marry me, you should buy me with Meng Xuanyang's own things. This is only fair."
She raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I, a little village girl who has never studied in school, can open a wine shop. How can you, the eldest son of the Meng family, start a career?"
My child, what’s the point of using your family’s power to attract girls? It’s so uncool to be independent and self-reliant? So, leave your family behind and work alone! You’re such an awesome person, you’ll have a lot of great things at your disposal!
This kind of inspirational poisonous chicken soup is a sure killer for the naughty kids in the second period of middle school.
Anyway, in the end, Meng Yanyang never mentioned Ping's wife again, sent her off politely, and even expressed his sincerity that he wanted to make a friend.
When they came down, Tang Junliang was still waiting downstairs, and Tang Shiyue went to Tangjia Liquor Shop.
Watching the mule cart drive away, Meng Xanyang's expression was a little strange. After a while, he asked: "A Yuan, what do you think of this little lady...?"
The man in black, Liu Yuan, looked unpredictable.
He is a person who knows kung fu. Although he is guarding the door, he can still hear every word of the conversation between the two. This little lady's scheming is absolutely incomparable to other people. Even ten Meng Xianyang can't beat her.
Liu Yuanzheng was hesitating whether to remind him, then he heard Meng Xanyang click his tongue: "Forget it, a slave knows nothing! Master, I have my own opinion!" He walked forward with his hands behind his back.
Liu Yuan lowered his eyes and followed him without saying another word.
It has to be said that Tang Shiyue misjudged the level of this idiot.
His ambitions were indeed rising, but Meng Yanyang had no idea what he could do. He only felt that he was being aroused by this little lady.
So he walked around for a while, returned to his house, and called Tang Shuizhi out to chat.
After all, she was the only one in the courtyard who knew Tang Shiyue, so she could only talk to her.
Tang Shuizhi said obediently: "What do you want to hear?"
Meng Xanyang drank tea and said, "Tell me whatever you want, tell me everything you know about her!"
Tang Shiyue was a fool before, but Tang Shuizhi was a "village beauty" who was very proud and had no time to care about her.
She could only rack her brains and say: "Her father used to be a businessman and had some money in his hands. Later, after he died, the family situation was not very good. Her grandmother was greedy for money. I came over at that time because I didn't want to take anyone with me.
Afraid of being looked down upon, I discussed it with her grandmother and bought her as a maid for ten taels of silver. Who knew that after she came, she made some noise, so I beat her twice..."
Meng Xanyang suddenly sat up: "What did you say?"
Tang Shuizhi was startled, thinking he blamed her for hitting her, and said anxiously: "It wasn't hard either."
"No," Meng Xiyang said, "Did you just say that you bought her?"
Tang Shuizhi secretly looked at his expression: "Yes... her grandma agreed."
"Great!" Meng Xanyang's eyes lit up: "Why didn't you tell me earlier! Now, let's see if this little lady can jump out of my hand!"
…………
At this time, Tangjia Liquor Shop.
Tang Shiyue was talking to Shopkeeper Yang in the back when she heard a sudden noise outside, and a waiter rushed in: "Shopkeeper! There is a group of people who want to find Mr. Tang!"
Shopkeeper Yang said: "If you want to find Mr. Tang, just go to Mr. Tang! What are you doing in such a hurry! Who is he?"
"Several people!" said the waiter: "They looked like they were servants of a wealthy family. They just barged in, saying... they wanted to capture their runaway slaves!"
No need for him to say anything, Tang Shiyue also heard it. Someone outside said: "Who are you! Don't you know whose shop we belong to?"
The man said: "We have documents in hand and want to capture the escaped slaves of the Meng family! There is no reason not to be captured wherever we go!"
Fugitive slave?
Tang Shiyue frowned.
Although I don't know what's going on...but how can I put it, in fact, no matter what time, people who know the rules are easy to deal with, but I am afraid of these random people.
He beat the master to death with random punches.
There is no back door in Tang's liquor store. If they believe they are right and are not afraid of offending the county magistrate's wife, it will be easy for them to break in. If they continue to cause trouble, they may damage the reputation of the liquor store.
Tang Shiyue thought for a moment and said directly to Shopkeeper Yang: "Can you please help me inform Mrs. Yang."
Then he said to Tang Junliang next to him: "When we leave, you can quickly go back to the village and tell Qi Xiaolang."
She went out on one side. As soon as those people saw her coming out, they quickly surrounded her. Tang Shiyue said directly: "Is it Meng Xuanyang who is looking for me?"
Those people saw that she was calm and composed, but they were frightened by her. They didn't know how to answer for a while, so Tang Shiyue asked: "Is that so?"
"Bold!" someone shouted: "You, a slave, can call our young master your name at will!"
Sure enough, it was Meng Xanyang.
Tang Shiyue said directly: "Lead the way, I'll go see him."
One side took the lead, and the others were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed, as if escorting her.
Shopkeeper Yang quickly asked someone to follow them secretly to see if they had entered the Meng Mansion. At the same time, he went to the county government office to notify Mrs. Yang in person.
As soon as he walked away, Tang Junliang rushed out quickly and hurried back to the village.
Tang Shiyue walked a few steps, turned around briefly, and saw the wine shop clerk following quietly behind him. She couldn't help but nodded secretly, thinking that shopkeeper Yang was quite reliable in handling affairs.
Soon we arrived at Mengzhai.
Tang Shiyue entered the hall and saw Meng Xuyang coming up to him and said with a smile: "Are you here?"
Seeing his proud face, Tang Shiyue smiled slightly and asked directly: "When did I become your runaway slave?"
Meng Xiyang smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Looking at him like this, she knew that he wouldn't be able to cover her face for long, so Tang Shiyue waited quietly.
Sure enough, he didn't turn around twice before he smiled and said, "Did you forget that Zhi'er bought you as a maid?"
The problem indeed lies here.
Tang Shiyue said: "Is there such a thing? I don't believe it!"
Meng Xiyang smiled and said: "You can't help but believe this!"
Tang Shiyue tentatively said: "I was still a fool at that time. Don't bully me into not remembering anything! Do you have any evidence?"
Meng Xiyang was obviously confident and said with a smile, "Take it out and ask her to see it!"
Tang Shuizhi looked proud and took out the document. (To be continued)
