CHAPTER XXXV
The Meng family is also thinking about how to deal with the things in hand, the vegetable field in the yard is originally for cover, if they leave with their family, they can give it up completely, the bad is only the existence of Chen Mu, and the business between the county town and the Zeng Mansion and the things that will be sold in the shop in the future, how to explain the existence of those things without the cover of Nanshan and the vegetable garden at home.

"If you don't usually ask Aunt An to help take care of them, I'll come back every few days." In the evening, the family entered the space as usual and began to have fun, Meng Qingyao commanded Yuanyuan to pick all kinds of fruits, washed them, and said.
"Brother An and sister-in-law should be fine over there, and I'll come back with the group when the time comes." It was rare for Meng Yuan not to go alone to recite the scriptures and worship the Buddha after eating again, but accompanied Meng Qingxuan and them to discuss the affairs of the family.
Meng Qingyao twisted a cherry, glanced at Meng Yuan and Meng Qingxuan quickly, and said with some hesitation: "Dad, brother, I want Xiaozhu to accompany us to the county seat, okay." Seeing that the two of them just looked at her and didn't speak, they hurriedly made a pitiful expression and said the manuscript that had been prepared a long time ago: "Didn't my brother say that most of the people in the city are indifferent and sweep the snow in front of the door, I will definitely not find a partner when I get there, and it will be very boring when the time comes, I just want Xiaozhu to accompany me, and there can be someone to talk and chat with on weekdays." ”
Meng Yuan naturally would not refute his daughter's words, and nodded his head unconditionally in support: "It's true that it's too lonely to go to the city and only Tuan Tuan is alone, Xiaozhu, this child, I don't worry, but I don't know if Brother An and sister-in-law are willing, in fact, it is better for me to stay in Nanshan Village with Tuan Tuan, I don't think there is anything good in that county." Meng Yuan picked up a cherry, frowning and thinking about how to persuade the An family, and felt that it seemed a little inhumane to let a child as young as Xiaozhu leave his parents, thinking of the impetuous hustle and bustle he had experienced, and hesitated not to leave the current Nanshan Village.
Meng Qingyao has no particularly big ambitions for that kind of county, whether it is a county or a city, after all, no matter how prosperous this era is, it is not as good as the modern city in the previous life, her only dream is just to make a little money together as a family, enough to travel and eat some food, anyway, there is room to cheat, definitely don't live very tired like in the previous life, squinted her eyes and smiled and rubbed straight on Meng Yuan: "Okay, okay, let my brother make money to support the family alone, and we will be responsible for being beautiful like a flower." ”
"I knew that I was as beautiful as a flower at such a young age, and now I regret it, it's too late." Meng Qingxuan rolled her eyes at the little girl angrily: "At that time, who actively wanted to buy a shop to make a lot of money, who said that she would support me and my father in the future." ”
"Hey, the more than 100 taels of silver that bought the house is enough for us to go out and play for a lifetime." Meng Qingyao smacked her lips and felt that buying a house was really a loss-making business, anyway, she wanted her father to go to Bodhi Temple in the future, and buying a house was simply a waste of money.
"Then we'll sell that house tomorrow." Meng Qingxuan glanced at the little girl who was still thinking about it and laughed.
"What, even if you rent it out, you can make some money back, and it's a loss to sell it." Meng Qingyao's muttering small peasant thoughts began to make trouble again, in the previous life, real estate was a sure profit, and now it is estimated that it should not be bad, and it can be regarded as a house in the city.
"Daddy, look at how this girl looks like a money fan now." Even when she was poor in the past, she didn't see this girl love money so much, Meng Qingxuan thoughtless about which step was wrong, so that his sister changed her temperament, what should she do if she gets married in the future.
"What's wrong with money fans, isn't it cute." Meng Yuan smiled and was a little unclear.
"Come on, there's nothing bad about Tuan Tuan in your eyes." Meng Qingxuan helplessly changed the topic: "And Tuan Tuan, why do you want Xiaozhu to go over, are you holding back your energy to think of any ghost ideas, don't say that a person will be lonely or anything like that, give you a book of words You can sit there for a day, I won't believe your nonsense." ”
Meng Qingyao didn't expect her brother to ask so directly, she just didn't want to answer positively, did she want to truthfully say that she wanted to change Xiaozhu's mind, can't she marry early like a woman in this era and then become an existence dependent on a man to work herself to death, and she must not be treated as a monster: "I just thought that she still followed us to learn words, and Xiaozhu's arithmetic is so good that it is a pity that it is broken now." "This is the truth, An Zhu is not very good at learning to read and write, but he is quite talented in fiddling with abacus, but in a day or two, he will be familiar with the abacus formula sorted out by Chen Mu, which is in stark contrast to Meng Qingyao, she usually calculates the answer with her heart and then directly dials out the result on the abacus, and every time Chen Mu looks at her with the eyes of a monster.
"That's what you think." Meng Qingxuan squinted his eyes and looked disbelieving.
"Okay, in fact, I just want to say that the store is a little thin with only the two of us, and Xiaozhu can write and calculate, how can he be a shopkeeper." Meng Qingxuan blinked and looked at Meng Qingxuan very sincerely.
"You really think it's just the two of us opening a shop." Meng Qingxuan choked and sighed, looking at his innocent sister, he really didn't know what to say.
"Well, aren't we going to open it, Daddy shouldn't be able to do these cumbersome things." Seeing that her brother looked like she had misunderstood something, Meng Qingyao said with some uncertainty: "Chen Mu is so lazy that he shouldn't help." ”
"Then you haven't thought about it, just our two children are different from setting up a stall to sell things, just open a shop and don't show up, if we show up, how can others believe us." Meng Qingxuan smiled and knocked on the little girl's head.
Meng Qingyao's face darkened, she didn't think about age at all, and she always regarded herself as an old girl in her twenties in her previous life: "Then what should I do, don't you open a shop, why didn't I think of this." “
"Why don't you help your father be the shopkeeper?" Meng Yuan saw that the little girl was impatient, and hurriedly said.
"Daddy, don't worry, just hire someone when the time comes." Although Meng Yuan was kind, Meng Qingxuan still knew his father, and he was not good at dealing with people at all: "In addition, the relationship between the Zeng Mansion does not have to worry about the future." “
"It's okay to hire someone, but take Chen Mu with you when choosing someone, he used to run outside a lot, and he still has an eye for people." Meng Yuan thought of the person who was hidden in the shadows and protected Chen Mu at any time, and said thoughtfully.
"Got it." The two of them said in unison, but Meng Qingyao was a little disappreciative in her heart, after all, Chen Mu was just a young boy in her eyes, even if she was not deeply involved in the world, she often walked outside to see what kind of vision she could have.
Meng Qingxuan had the same idea as his father, and felt that although Chen Mu was not flattering, he still had some real skills, and he would not look at him with colored eyes like Meng Qingyao.
Chen Mu stayed in his room and frowned and looked in the direction of Meng Yuan's room, only after half a sound came back to his senses and sighed: "How is the matter investigated." ”
"Master, the people of Chu Lou did not give up, and they have been making small moves in secret, but they have been suppressed by our people, as for the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, Li Sui, a close confidant of Hou Ye, and Steward Lin next to Mrs. Hou Ye are all gathered in Ping'an County, and Nanshan Village is impregnable by the brothers, they should be waiting for the Meng family to arrive in Ping'an County before they start."
"This has dragged him for more than half a year, and he should be in a hurry, but I don't know if this Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou Ye have discussed it." Chen Mu clapped his palms and chuckled.
"No matter what, their target is Meng Qingxuan, as for Meng Yuan's father and daughter, they may kill him."
"Send someone to keep an eye on them, and don't show mercy if there is any change." It's just a subordinate, and if you think about it, Wu Anhou will definitely not take it to heart.
"Yes. By the way, master, the Meng family's side. ”
"What do you want to say?" Chen Mu asked softly.
The man in black trembled when he heard Chen Mu's soft voice, and hurriedly lowered his body: "It's nothing, the Meng family has already fallen asleep." ”
"Go down, keep an eye on those people, especially that Li Sui, this person is brave and resourceful and is a hard character."
"Yes."
The room gradually became quiet, Chen Mu sat quietly in the dark room for a while, and finally let out a deep breath and stopped looking in the direction of Meng Yuan's room. (To be continued.) )
