As soon as the twins left, Aunt Ruan asked, "How can you be so familiar with the younger siblings of the academy students?" Why did they come to you at home? ”

Song Qiuniang is an honest person, and as soon as Aunt Ruan asked her, she told everything from beginning to end. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The more Aunt Ruan listened, the more excited she became, she didn't expect that her elm-headed daughter could save the country and have a good relationship with a male student's younger siblings, so she couldn't help but say: "Then since Meng Tan can be a judge, he must have good knowledge, and he can also do something in the imperial examination in the future." Third Miss, you have to take a good grasp of it! ”

"Grasp what?" As soon as Song Qiuniang heard this, she knew that Aunt Ruan had bad intentions, and she blushed and refused, "I and Meng Gongzi are just a few sides of each other, so don't talk nonsense." ”

Aunt Ruan knew that her daughter was thin-skinned, and it was useless to say more, and she was in a good mood when she got the good news, so she didn't reprimand Song Qiuniang, so she said a few perfunctory words, but secretly she made up her mind to investigate the situation of the Meng family.

Meng Tan learned that the twins took the initiative to return the handkerchief to Song Qiuniang when he returned home.

“…… Brother, Sister Qiu is fine, every time we go to Song's house for snacks, she welcomes us very warmly. We both like her so much, can you marry her back as a sister-in-law? ”

Meng Tan stretched out his hand and gave the twins a burst, "If I'm not at home, you'll be naughty!" They all ran to Song's house, and they were talking nonsense all day long! Be careful that I tell my mother to lock you up! ”

Xiao Long covered his head and said aggrievedly: "I didn't talk nonsense, Sister Qiu is good to us!" We returned the handkerchief, and she didn't blame her brother for picking it up and not returning it in time, and thanked us, indicating that she still had a good impression of her brother! ”

"That's it! And brother, if you don't return someone's handkerchief, are you also interested in Sister Qiu? Xiaoling also followed.

Although Meng Tan is almost ten years old when he is older, he is clumsy and straightforward, and he really can't say anything when he talks about it, and when the twins analyze, he is also a little confused, why didn't he return it in time when he picked up the handkerchief in the competition venue? If you don't have a chance, it's not exactly, it's okay to find a reliable mother-in-law to send it over. So why didn't you pay it back? Is it really as the twins said, they have a good impression of Song Qiuniang?

Meng Tan recalled Song Qiuniang's appearance, and only remembered that she was a very quiet woman, her appearance was delicate at best, and she was the most inconspicuous among the four sisters of the Song family. If there's anything that impresses you, it's the poem you did.

In fact, it was Meng Tan who nominated her for the third place at that time. That poem, at first glance, is inconspicuous, but when you taste it carefully, it has a unique artistic conception, which makes people can't help but reminisce. As a merchant girl, it is good to be able to make poems of this level, so Meng Tan nominated her for the third place.

There are people who look at poetry like people, can make such delicate and exquisite poems, presumably Song Qiuniang is not as plain as she looks.

Meng Tan was immersed in his own recollections, and didn't notice that someone pushed the door in.

The twins saw the person clearly, and they all jumped and ran over, "Brother Yang, Brother Yang, you came to see us." ”

The person who came was Yang Jian.

Yang Jian picked up several paper-wrapped bags in his left hand, and still carried the cut beef in his right hand.

The twins smelled the fragrance in the bag and shouted: "Brother Yang, you bought the crystal bag of Funing Building!" "There should be jujube cakes too!"

Yang Jian handed them the bag and said with a smile: "Xiaoling Xiaolong's nose is really good." ”

Meng Tan also walked over, stopped the twins from reaching over to get a snack, and sent them to wash their hands first, and then beckoned Yang Jian to sit down and drink tea.

"You're too polite, you take so many things every time you come."

Yang Jian knew that the Meng family was not in a good situation, and he would buy food every time he came to the door, so that the twins looked forward to him coming to the door every day.

"It's not much, just snacks and meat. Xiaoling Xiaoling is growing up, so she has to eat more. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Tan was depressed, scratched his hair, and sighed, "It's all because I don't have the ability to earn money for my family, so my younger brothers and sisters can't eat well." ”

"Brother Meng, don't blame yourself, when Qiu Yu is moved, find an official and a half-job, and you won't have to worry about family affairs."

Meng Tan had a rare trace of melancholy on his face, "Brother Yang has promoted me, my qualifications are dull, and Qiu Yu is not determined to win." ”

Yang Jian patted Meng Tan and said with relief: "Brother Meng, don't be too humble, as long as you play normally, it shouldn't be a problem for you to be a fellow jinshi." ”

Meng Tan knew his own strength very well, and he was blindly optimistic without a few words of persuasion, but he was nervous and open-minded, and he was not discouraged by this, he still lifted his spirits and said: "Why didn't Brother Yang study his homework in the academy today? ”

Yang Jian's home is in Qi County, which is subordinate to Yuncheng, located at the junction with Nianguo, far away from Yuncheng.

"After studying for a long time, I can't help but feel a little dizzy, so I come out to breathe, and I don't have anywhere to go, so I come to you."

"Haha, the combination of work and rest can improve efficiency. Brother Yang don't go back today, have a light meal at my house. My mother hasn't seen you for a long time, and she was still talking about it some time ago. ”

Yang Jian smiled, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." But it's still early, do you want Brother Meng to go out with me? ”

"Okay, I don't know where Brother Yang wants to go?"

"Ronghui Cloth Village."

More than ten days have passed since the day of the competition, and the ban order issued by Mrs. Song has finally been lifted.

Zhang De stood at the door as before, ready to greet Song Chunniang.

Xiao Er next door poked his head out again, "Shopkeeper Zhang, who are you waiting for?" ”

"My eldest lady is here to check the accounts." Zhang De replied lightly.

"Ouch, your eldest lady still works in Buzhuang? If you want me to say, something so big has happened, it's better to stay at home and find a family to get married. Although it is said that your eldest lady is very capable, but she can't stand it is a woman, the most important thing for this woman is to teach her husband and children, work outside all her life, deal with men, and make her reputation stink, how can she marry in the future? The shopkeeper shook his head as he spoke, looking like he was earnestly teaching, "Also, her former fiancé is really pitiful, and he was dumped in public by his own woman." Although it is said that bad men deserve it, but your eldest lady is also famous, so strong, who dares to ask for it? ”

Zhang De looked at it coldly, the sharpness in his eyes was like a knife, and he made the shopkeeper look creepy, "Your business is very bad?" Why are you so busy with other people's private affairs? If I were the boss of your family, I would have to fire you if I saw you wandering around and chewing the root of your tongue! ”

The shopkeeper was threatened, shrunk his shoulders, and forced himself to prop up his aura and said, "I'm just telling the truth, you don't like to listen to it!" Anyway, there are more people talking outside, and if I don't say it, someone will tell you. With that, he retracted the window and retracted it.

Zhang De was so angry that his face was flushed, but he couldn't help it, his mouth was on others, and he couldn't control it, besides, what the shopkeeper said was not bad, now the city is full of gossip, where can he manage so much? I hope this turmoil will pass soon.

After a while, Song Chunniang arrived, routinely flipped through the account book to check the accounts, and the more she looked at it, the more frowning she became.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, why are there so many returns?" Song Chunniang pointed to the line of records in the ledger and asked.

Zhang De considered the language before replying: "The previous competition has affected the judgment of customers to some extent, and there have been some returns. However, the eldest lady can rest assured that this is only temporary, and it will return to normal after a while. After all, the material of our cloth village is one of the best. ”

"It's okay," Song Chunniang said indifferently, "You write down these merchants who return goods, let's distinguish them from other customers, and if you want to divide them, put them in the back row." ”

Just heard the bad rumors of the owner's daughter dissolving the marriage contract and returned the relationship as soon as possible, can such a business partner be reliable? Since it is unreliable, there is no need to bother to maintain it, and it is better to spend more time on loyal customers.

Zhang De, who was originally worried about how to comfort the young owner, suddenly brightened up when he heard this, but he had always been cautious and thought for a moment and said, "I understand what the eldest lady means." However, it is an indisputable fact that the reputation of our cloth village has been damaged, and if we do not take measures to allow the situation to develop, we will be in a passive position. Only defends and doesn't attack, but business is a lot less than before. ”

Zhang De is right, in the past half a month, not only has the cloth village been returned a lot, but even the business that was originally going to be negotiated has become a lot yellower, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the Song family will lose the status of the first cloth village in Yanzhou.

The family business, which has put so much effort into it, is depressed because of herself, and Song Chunniang feels very uncomfortable.
