One hundred and thirteen

Regarding Jiang Suifeng's existence, the old lady of the Meng family and Xue Dad have invariably adopted a policy of concealment, no matter what that bastard has done, no matter whether the Meng family treats him as a relative or not, he is always Xu You's uncle. If Xu You doesn't care, outsiders will inevitably gossip, not to mention, because of the marriage between the Meng family and the Rui Wangfu, the Meng family has long been on the cusp, how many people are jealous, and they can't wait to make up all kinds of rumors to hit the Meng family, how can they let go of such a good opportunity.

Fortunately, Jiang Suifeng didn't know the specific situation of the Meng family, and he didn't even know that Xu You existed, but Rao was like this, Xue Dad was still not at ease, and he no longer allowed Xu You to go out for a long time, and even asked someone to invite a grandmother to come to the house to teach her the rules under the pretext that he was about to get married, which made Xu You miserable.

Fortunately, Zhao Chengjin is no longer as busy as before, with the family background of the Rui Wangfu and his own ability, he quickly gained a firm foothold in Jin Wuwei, and the errand was done quite beautifully, His Majesty the Emperor praised him several times in front of the Rui Wangye, and even hinted that he would rise another liter before he got married.

Lord Rui wanted to retreat very modestly, and said: "Brother Shun is still young, don't spoil him too much, if he continues like this, he should not know the height of the sky." ”

The emperor laughed, pointed at Prince Rui and shook his head: "Second brother, second brother, you really don't know Brother Shun, that kid has been stable since he was a child, when did you see him float by?" So, the matter was settled.

Zhao Chengjin can always see Xu You every three or five days, but now it is different from the past, Xu You has a more nurturing grandmother by his side, and the atmosphere in the whole courtyard is condensed, Xiaoyu and Xiaohuan are no longer standing outside the door honestly as before, but helplessly but resolutely beside Xu You, Zhao Chengjin does not say that he wants to eat tofu, even if he has no chance to hold his hand, even if he sits in the courtyard for a while, the stern grandmother will appear in front of them, and say a few words of lesson with a straight face, Zhao Chengjin was immediately taught a lesson by her, and his face turned red, even if he was unhappy, he could only flee in disgrace.

Okay, what mamma please! Zhao Chengjin was extremely depressed, and even worried that the stern and old-fashioned old lady Xu You married in the future would also come to the palace with him - just thinking about it made him feel that the future was not bright.

The days passed quickly, at the end of the year, His Royal Highness King Qi got married, and after living in Beijing for a month, he packed up his things and went to Jiangnan, Xue Dad also wanted to follow them to Qiantang, but the end of the year was the busiest time for the Yamen, and he really couldn't spare time, so he had no choice but to let Second Uncle Meng go for him.

When he returned to Beijing, he was very low-key, with a full beard, wearing a half-new and not old group flower jacket, the style was very special, and it was not the style of the capital at first glance, he hired two dilapidated carriages all the way to the gate, got out of the carriage and knocked on the door himself, but the porter didn't recognize him at a glance, and stopped him.

"I'm blind, I can't even recognize the second master." Second Uncle Meng laughed and slapped his palm on the back of the porter's head, and the porter's eyes widened in disbelief, and his voice trembled with excitement, "Second ...... Second master, it's second master, second master, you're finally back! ”

Second Uncle Meng has gained a lot from going south this time, and it is said that he spent all the silver on his body and exchanged it for two carts full of things," ...... It's not that I'm bragging, it's all good things, and it's rare to see them in the capital. Second Uncle Meng drank high at night, and showed his family with a big tongue, "It's a pity that there is no shop at home, otherwise, we can also do business, there is the Fang family in the south, and ...... His Royal Highness King Qi helped ......"

He picked up the goods in the south this time, in addition to the help of the Fang family, the face of His Royal Highness King Qi also played a big role. Although the King of Qi had just gone to the south, the name of the King of the County was much more useful than that of the Bo Mansion.

Everyone originally thought that this was just Uncle Meng's casual talk, but they didn't expect him to really do what he said, and after returning to Beijing, he began to open shops everywhere, Mrs. Meng was still a little worried, and quietly found Xue Dad to discuss the matter, but Xue Dad said with an indifferent face: "It's okay, the nobles in this capital, who don't have a few shops at home, as long as the second child doesn't go to be the shopkeeper in person, no one dares to chew the root of the tongue." My mother also knows that our family is thin, and the door of King Rui's mansion is high, and most of the family property in the house has been given her a dowry. "You can't marry your daughter, and the family won't have to live. In a few years, Ah Chu will grow older, and he will also discuss his relatives, if he doesn't plan early, I'm afraid he won't even be able to get the dowry at that time.

Since Daddy Xue said so, Mrs. Meng no longer stopped stopping her, but she was still not at ease, so she called Second Uncle Meng over to ask about it in three days.

To say that Second Uncle Meng, although he is a little anxious, he really has a bit of business acumen, and it didn't take long for him to really find a shop on Dongzheng Street. “…… The shop is not big, so the price is not expensive, I let Uncle De squat nearby for several days, although the place is not as lively as Suzaku Street, but there are many guests, and most of the people living in the alleys of East Street are also well-off......"

Xu You was very curious, and asked excitedly: "When will the shop be opened?" Second uncle, can I go and have a look? "Since Grandma Raised entered the Meng family, she hasn't been out for several months, and she is locked in the house all day, like going to prison. Fortunately, raising grandma doesn't seem to be as strict as before recently, Xu You guesses, maybe it's because she learns well?

Second Uncle Meng didn't respond as readily as usual, laughed dryly, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's still far away, this business can be done if you say it's done." ”

Although she couldn't take the opportunity to go out to Xu You was a little disappointed, but she still talked to Uncle Meng about opening a shop with great interest, although she didn't go through business, but even if she hadn't eaten pork, she had seen a pig run, and the Internet and Weibo in her previous life were full of various theories of marketing and management, Xu You still read some of them, so she talked to Second Uncle Meng with nonsense, and Second Uncle Meng suddenly had a feeling of empowerment.

“…… Oops, our Xiaoxue knows a lot! Second Uncle Meng said with surprise and joy: "I knew that Xiaoxue would do business, and our family should have opened the shop when they first entered Beijing." ”

Old Mrs. Meng glanced at him and said, "What does she know, she listened to Brother Shun'er." You listen to her bragging, you might as well go and talk to Brother Shun more, and then ask him if anyone at hand recommends coming to our shop to be the shopkeeper. Otherwise, when the shop opens, you won't be able to greet customers. ”

Although Second Uncle Meng's position is not high, he is also an official, and if he really guards in the shop all day long, he will have to be ginseng.

Of course, Second Uncle Meng also knew this truth, hehe laughed twice, and whispered: "How can you go to Brother Shun for help with everything." But the next day, he still ran to the gate of the palace and waited until Zhao Chengjin left the palace and invited him to drink.

In June, the Meng family's shop finally opened in a low-key manner, with a very simple and cheesy name called Zhenbao Zhai.

Zhenbao Zhai is not big, and there are not many goods, but things are rare to see in the capital, not to mention whether they are expensive or not, at least they are not things on the bad street. As far as Xu You knows, His Royal Highness King Qi also participated in the shop, otherwise, with the remaining ideas of the Meng family, this shop may not be able to open until next year.

At the beginning, the business of the shop was not good, and it had just saved its capital in June, but Second Uncle Meng was not worried at all, "...... Our house has just opened, it is not easy to protect the capital, June and July are the off-season, business is not good, and it will be good at the end of the year. ”

In fact, in August, Zhenbao Zhai's business gradually improved, and one day in early August, there was even a turnover of more than 3,000 taels of silver.

They didn't go to any high-end places, so they found a clean little restaurant on Dongzheng Street and had a good meal, drank two more pots of wine, and when they went downstairs, both of them were a little dizzy. As a result, before he got downstairs, he heard a commotion below, Second Uncle Meng stared at it a few times, and then dragged the shopkeeper on the side and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The shopkeeper replied respectfully: "It's a few little thieves who came to the store to steal something, and they were drunk, and they were beating." ”

Second Uncle Meng glanced at it casually, and vaguely felt that one of the men who was pulling the frame seemed to be a little familiar, but he was so drunk that his legs were weak at this moment, so he didn't have the heart to think about it anymore, and helped the shopkeeper to staggered out of the door. The shopkeeper respectfully sent it all the way to the door, and said again, "The two masters are good", and then entered the hall.

"That person ...... just now" The shopkeeper just returned to the hall, his arm was grabbed, and he looked at it intently, it was the one who had just been shelfing inside, "Do you know that customer?" Jiang Suifeng took out a few pennies from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the shopkeeper, and asked in a low voice.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, confiscated it, and instead wrinkled his brows and asked, "What are you asking for?" ”

Jiang Suifeng smiled with him and said cautiously: "Isn't this familiar?" Is the guest's surname Meng? The guest looked like my married relative, but I hadn't seen him for many years, and I didn't dare to ask casually. ”

Hearing that it was a relative, the shopkeeper softened his face, quietly accepted the money, and said in a low voice: "That's the second master of Changningbo Mansion, and his surname is indeed Meng." ”

"Changning Bo Mansion?" Jiang Suifeng's eyes were straight, he was stunned in disbelief for a long time, then suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly stuffed all the remaining copper coins in his arms into the hands of the shopkeeper, "Little brother, tell me about it carefully......

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Suifeng walked out of the restaurant with bright eyes. He slanted into a small alley, and immediately a man rushed out of the shadows, and shouted at him angrily, "What the hell do you want to do, dead old man? You don't help Lao Tzu when he is beaten like this by those people, but with those people, do you want to watch Lao Tzu be beaten to death! ”

"What are you talking nonsense!" Jiang Suifeng turned his face and said, "You are my son, can I really watch you suffer?" If I hadn't pretended to push people away just now, would you have been able to escape? This brain is stupid, how can you and I be half smart. He smiled proudly, raised his eyebrows at Jiang Lian'an, and said mysteriously: "Guess what I just asked?" ”

"What's that?" Jiang Lian'an's eyes lit up, "Did you find any way to get money?" ”

"It's not enough!" Jiang Suifeng stroked the short beard on his chin, and said triumphantly: "I just met the second child of the Meng family. ”

"The Meng family?" Jiang Lian'an was immediately deflated, "That's a fart!" My aunt has been dead for so many years, so if Boss Meng really talks about the affection of relatives, how can he not care about us and throw away twenty taels of silver. What about his grandmother, he thinks we are called Hanako? ”

"You're not stupid, I don't know this yet." Jiang Suifeng hooked the corners of his mouth and snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter if Boss Meng is ruthless and unrighteous, he still has a daughter under his knees, and that is your cousin." You don't know yet, the Meng family has caught up with the Rui Wangfu, and your cousin is about to become the princess of the Rui Wangfu. ”

Jiang Lian'an's eyes widened suddenly, "Really? Aren't we...... Isn't it still the same ...... Relatives of the Imperial Family? "The old Peng family in the alley of Xicheng, the daughter is just a girl in the Hou Mansion, there are five people and six people outside, they are the uncles and cousins of the princess of the Rui Wangfu, how majestic it should be, who dares to underestimate them when they go out in the future.

"Then let's go find my cousin!" Jiang Lian'an was about to go to the door to kiss him, but he was stopped by Jiang Suifeng and snorted: "You idiot, do you think the boss of the Meng family is a vegetarian?" People are now Changning Bo, and they follow the guards when they enter and exit, so we can enter the gate of Bofu with our father and son? I'm afraid I'll be kicked out before I can report it, where can I see your cousin's face. ”

Jiang Lian'an immediately wilted, and said with a sad face: "What can I do then?" Do you want to wait until she gets married and then go to the Ruiwang Mansion to find someone? Isn't the threshold of the Rui King's Mansion higher? ”

Jiang Suifeng frowned and didn't speak, he knew very well in his heart, even if he really found his niece, it was really hard to say whether the niece recognized him or not. Meng Dalang was not a good stubble before, not to mention that he was powerful now, and he had the support of the Rui Wangfu behind him, even if it was not difficult for their father and son to disappear, he would not do such an uncertain thing.

It's the Meng family, which has really developed in the past few years, and since he wants to marry his daughter into the palace, how can this dowry not be less...... Thinking of this, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "He is unkind, I am unjust, Lao Tzu has to give the Meng family a little color." ”

Seeing that his son still had a bitter face, Jiang Suifeng hooked the corners of his mouth, and there was a taste of bewitchment in his voice, "I heard that your cousin was born beautifully, otherwise, she would not be able to be favored by the Rui Wangfu." Lian An, haven't you gotten married yet, how is your cousin? If you marry her, then the Meng family's property will be yours! ”

Jiang Lian'an was shocked, swallowed his saliva in disbelief, and said tremblingly: "Dad...... You...... Are you opening a ...... Just kidding, isn't it...... That one...... Is my cousin going to marry into the palace? ”

"Isn't this unmarried?" Jiang Suifeng said coldly: "If you want to cook real raw rice, then can the Rui Wangfu still want her?" Even if it can't be done, it will ruin her reputation, who else can she marry except you at that time? ”

Jiang Lian'an's legs were trembling, but he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, the family property of Changning Bofu, the cousin who was like a flower and jade, was worth gambling. His heart was crossed, his teeth were gritted, and he decided to let it go, and said in a deep voice: "Dad, do what you say?" ”

The author has something to say: it is expected that there will be only a few chapters left to finish
