"Sister Suxin, come, eat a rock sugar gourd first, my husband just bought it." Wen Xiaoyu handed Bai Suxin a rock sugar gourd.

"Thank you!"

"Miss......"

"Uncle Zhang, why are you?" Bai Suxin actually knew the middle-aged man who sold rock sugar gourds, and it seemed that they had known each other for a long time.

"Miss, I found you, I heard that you were rehabilitated by the imperial court, and we thought about going to you again, but we went to Suxinzhai, where it has been handed over to others......"

"Didn't Uncle Zhang go to Baifu?" Bai Suxin asked.

"No, a few of us were kicked out of there, and we swore that we would never go to Baifu again." Uncle Zhang said hatefully.

"Uncle Zhang, I have been living in Baifu these days, the Jiao sisters and brothers have been sentenced, and there are only two people left in the family, me and Shaoqing, and everyone else is gone!"

"That wicked woman has really received retribution, eldest lady, we have seen all this from the notices posted by the imperial court!"

"Since it's an old man, let's talk in the living room!" Meng Yan greeted.

"You're Master Meng, aren't you?" Uncle Zhang asked excitedly.

"This official is exactly!"

"The villain kowtowed to you!" Uncle Zhang put down the straw stick in his hand, knelt down for Meng Yan, and kowtowed.

"Uncle Zhang, what are you doing, Miss Suxin, let him get up quickly, this official can't stand such a big gift!" Meng Yan said busily.

"Uncle Zhang, get up, let's go into the house if you have something to say." Bai Suxin walked over and reached out to help Uncle Zhang up.

Uncle Zhang stood up, but he couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with the corners of his clothes.

"Shen Cong. Distribute the sugar gourd, and everyone will have a share. Meng Yan instructed Shen Cong.

"Yes, Childe!"

"Uncle Zhang, how have you been doing in the past few years?"

"I will be a sugar man, a sugar gourd, do some small business, although I don't make much money, but I can get by, Lao Deng They are much worse than me, and they give people farm. It would be nice to have two or three percent of the harvest in the end. Life is hard. Uncle Zhang said with red eyes.

"How many of them are there?"

"Yes, yes, Miss, I'll bring them to see you another day." Uncle Zhang said excitedly.

"Uncle Zhang. You've been following my dad for years. I want to reopen my fast. I wonder if you guys will come back to help me? Bai Su asked sincerely.

"The eldest lady plans to reopen Su Xinzhai, but hasn't Su Xinzhai been taken out?" Uncle Zhang asked in surprise.

"Actually, it's not a sale, it's a joint venture with someone else. Expanded Sushinjae and reopened for business. Bai Suxin explained.

"I see, if the eldest lady doesn't dislike us old people, of course we are willing to come back."

"Then it's settled."

"It's decided, it's decided." Uncle Zhang said, "By the way, Miss, who are you planning to make a joint venture with?" ”

"It's with me Sister Xiaoyu!"

"It turned out to be Miss Wen, so I'm relieved."

"Uncle Zhang, it's time for you to change your mind and call Mrs. Yu." Bai Suxin corrected.

"Oh, yes, yes, Mrs. Rain, the villain Zhang Tong has seen Mrs. Rain!"

"No courtesy, it's all your own family, so you don't have to be polite." Wen Xiaoyu smiled elegantly, "Sister Suxin, I don't think you have that mind now, how about we talk about it in detail tomorrow?" ”

"I want to, I want to listen to my sister."

"White girl, stay a piece to eat." Meng Yan Road.

"Master Meng, Shaoqing is still at home, I have to go back to cook for him, so I won't stay." Bai Su said in his heart.

"It's okay, I'll send someone to send you back."

"No, it's okay to have Uncle Zhang with me!" Bai Suxin refused.

"Then the official won't force the guests, white girl, please!" Meng Yan arched his hand slightly.

"Xiaoyu, today the emperor gave me a house, saying that it was for me and Guo Yue's wedding celebration."

"This is a good thing, this royal mansion must not be small, at least bigger than our old mansion, right?"

"It's not small, the area must be three or four times the size of our old house, there are not hundreds of houses, there should be seventy or eighty rooms."

"Where is it, I'll take a look tomorrow!" Wen Xiaoyu said excitedly.

"No. 46 Xidan Xiejie!" Meng Yan Road.

"Xidan Xiejie, No. 46, wait, isn't that Cao Qin's mansion?" Wen Xiaoyu has in his mind the entire capital, who does intelligence, the residences of the officials of the DPRK and China, and the fields in the courtyard, which are like a number of treasures.

"It's Cao Qin's mansion, after I took someone to raid Cao's mansion, I handed over the title deed and house deed of this house to the household department, and now the emperor has given this house to me!"

"Cao Qin's house is given to you, isn't that for you to fight Cao Jixiang to the end?"

"The emperor may not have this in mind, what I'm worried about is that someone is provoking it." Meng Yan Road.

"Wang Zhen?"

"Not necessarily, but I didn't want this house, but the emperor insisted on giving it to me, and wrote me a will, even if I committed a capital crime in the future, this house will not be taken back." Meng Yan said with a wry smile.

"That's a lot of grace."

"You don't understand, this house can only be lived in by me or the descendants of the Meng family, and it can't be sold or rented!"

"If it is not written in this decree, why can't it be sold or leased?"

"This is the meaning behind the holy decree, forget it, many people in the court have the idea of beating that house, and even some princes want to ask him to give it to Beijing for Beppu, and now it has been given to me, maybe how many people will have a grudge in their hearts!" Meng Yan Road.

"Then let them complain, this is not what we want, it was given to us by the emperor." Wen Xiaoyu said, "No, I'll go and see it tomorrow, and mine will pick a good room for me." ”

"What's the hurry, this will hasn't come down yet, this house doesn't belong to us for the time being, let's re-do it, tear down those things that are out of control, tomorrow I will visit Lord Kuai, ask him to help design it, and change the feng shui of this house." Meng Yan Road.

And after another day, the decree finally came down. Meng Yan was promoted from the deputy thousand households to the main thousand households, and the Beijing Patrol made the Yamen renamed the Jinyi Wei Patrol Division, and Meng Yan served as the acting thousand households, which belonged to the Southern Ya.

It turned out that Meng Yan's position in the Craftsman Division was revoked, and Lu Rong, the chief flag of the former Craftsman Division, who served as the acting treasurer, was promoted to the trial of 100 households and served as the acting 100 households.

Tang Xiao and other Jinyi guards who originally belonged to the Craftsman Division were all transferred to the new Patrol Division.

In addition to Meng Yan's promotion and the merger of the Inspectorate into Jinyiwei, the emperor also issued a special decree to Meng Yan's father, Meng Xian, to add the title of commander and Tongzhi, and ordered the Meng family to inherit thousands of households.

This glory is enviable.

Subsequently. The emperor gave Meng Yan another set of houses. There were hundreds of silk and satin, and a jade Ruyi was also given!

This is a first- and second-grade old minister, who has made great contributions to the court.

In the past few days, Meng Yan can be described as infinitely beautiful. The daily socialization is dizzying. Almost never got off the table.

But. This time, Meng Yanxue was obedient, and resolutely did not drink, and drank boiled water if he wanted to. When he saw people, he looked drunk, and this look was not easy to force him, but it allowed him to successfully avoid a lot.

Meng Yan wanted to find Yang Ge to write a signboard, he did a good job of reconnaissance first, fortunately, he had a good relationship with Yang Dan, so he found an excuse and asked Yang Dan out for a drink.

By the way, he called Wen Liangdong and Kuaixiang.

This wine has gone through three rounds and the dishes have five flavors, so it's time to get down to business.

"Brother Yang, this wine is good, Brother Meng's winery is newly brewed, we have a new taste?"

"Yes, yes, it's just that there is a place to rush, if you put it for a year and a half, to go to the fire, it should be easier to enter!"

"Well, this is the water of Yuquan Mountain, the water is good water, but the koji is wrong, if you choose Sichuan koji, the taste will be more mellow."

"Well, Lord Kuai is a wine Chinese hand, and this criticism is in one sentence!" Meng Yan praised loudly.

"Come, come, eat vegetables......"

"Brother Meng, you are doing this, invite us to drink, is there something wrong?" Kuaixiang smiled, "These days, your brother Meng has eaten all the banquets in Beijing, and I haven't heard that you have ever paid silver?" ”

"Haha, this person really can't be too abnormal, let you see the flaws at a glance, today's meal has two purposes, first, I ate so many banquets, I almost vomited after eating, this meal I want to find three or two confidants by myself, eat my own, second, I really have something to ask the three brothers!" Meng Yan Road.

All three of them are older than Meng Yan, and Meng Yan certainly calls the three of them "elder brother".

All three clapped their hands and laughed.

"Say, the four of us are all friends because of you, what do you Brother Meng want the three of us to do?"

"Brother Wen's matter, let's talk about it again, let's talk about the two of you first, don't be embarrassed, I am not forced, little brother."

"What the hell is going on, depending on what you said, it lifted the hearts of both of us." Yang Dan said strangely.

"It's not a difficult thing, I just want to ask the Pavilion Boss for a few words, and then make a sign!" Meng Yan Road.

Yang Dan heard this, immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand, although his father is not Taishan Beidou in calligraphy, but people in the officialdom, although this calligraphy and painting is elegant, but it is also the source of corruption, some people just like to give people inscriptions in the name of accepting bribes.

This is something that Yang Ge Lao hates very much, so he rarely agrees to give people inscriptions, let alone write signboards.

If you want to say that Meng Yan asks for a pair of words, just hang it at home to show off, after all, not many people come to your house to type.

But this signboard is different, it is a door plaque, which is to be hung on the eaves, and people come and go, they can see it, and this impact is great.

"Brother Meng, the foolish brother can't guarantee it, but with your status in your father's heart, maybe you can." Yang Dan said.

"Then another day, the younger brother will prepare a generous gift and go to the house to visit the old man?" Meng Yan nodded.

"Foolish brother, let's mention it first, see my father's reaction?"

"Okay, thank you Brother Yang!" Meng Yan stood up and bowed to the end.

"There's one more thing, I'm going to bother Brother Kuai!" Meng Yan turned around and saluted Kuaixiang.

"Please."

"Didn't the emperor give me a mansion, you also know that it is Cao Qin's mansion, so I want to renovate and decorate it before I move in, and ask Brother Kuai to help design it."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." When Kuaixiang heard this, a stone fell to the ground in his heart, just don't be a problem like Yang Dan. (To be continued......)
