Chapter 105: Smashing people with money
Three days later, in the morning, Shen Feng sent his henchman to deliver a letter to Su Shen and Meng Hao.
He came with Mrs. Shen's confidant Mama, who apologized to Meng Hao on behalf of Master Shen and Mrs. Shen, and Mr. Shen and his wife also asked her to bring a thick gift list.
In addition to the common local ingredients, wine, tea, supplements, ornaments, porcelain, cloth, and medicinal herbs, there are also some rare things from the Jiangnan region.
Meng Zhen never expected that the Shen family would give them such a generous gift, and she was a little worried about what she would take as a gift in return.
Su Shen saw Meng Hao's hesitation and embarrassment, and he took the opportunity to prepare tea and whispered an idea to Meng Hao, "The Shen family is giving a gift of reparation, you'd better not give them a gift of equal value directly." ”
Meng Zhen suddenly realized.
That's right, it's her who thinks about it and gets into the horns.
If she really returned to the Shen family with a gift of considerable value, people would still suspect that she was unwilling to let go of her previous suspicions.
Putting this matter aside completely, Meng Hao returned to the main house with tea and entertained the old lady who came to apologize to them on behalf of Master Shen and his family.
The old lady's surname is Su, maybe she was told by her master before she came over, and this Su was very polite and polite to Meng Zhen.
Meng Zhen went to make tea for these subordinates, but Mama Su stopped her to no avail, so she simply took the other subordinates to stand respectfully under the corridor.
It wasn't until Meng Zhen returned to the main room with the tray that Mama Su bowed down slightly and followed in quietly with small steps.
She bowed her knees slightly towards Meng Hao again, "Before, my eldest lady offended you, Young Master Su, and Young Master Meng, but after my lord found out, he personally punished the eldest lady for kneeling in the ancestral hall, copying Buddhist scriptures, and grounding for reflection. ”
"My lord said that the Shen family did not hand over the greetings to your mansion in advance, and it was not good for him to come directly to apologize, so I asked the slaves and maids to bring a thin gift over first, and apologize to you, Young Master Su and Little Master Meng on behalf of the Shen family, and please also ask you and Young Master Su and Young Master Meng to do a lot, don't worry about the eldest lady of my family."
The more Meng Hao listened, the more interesting she felt, Master Shen was interesting, and Mrs. Shen and her henchman were also interesting.
Mama Su's words didn't seem to be wrong at first glance, but in fact, she took out Mrs. Shen in and out of her words.
Obviously, Mrs. Shen and Master Shen have different opinions, but she still failed to beat her husband in the end, so Mama Su reluctantly came to Hao Mengyun's house.
Besides, Master Shen, his attitude towards this matter is also very interesting.
The punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall, copying Buddhist scriptures, and grounding for reflection is the old three things that the high-ranking families have always used to punish the masters of the family.
This Master Shen used all these three punishments on Shen Qin in one go, and it seemed that he was very angry, and he had severely punished his daughter who made a mistake, but in fact, Meng Hao was very skeptical that this punishment could really be implemented.
There is definitely a big difference between kneeling in the ancestral hall for an hour, a day, or three or seven days, not to mention whether Shen Qin is really kneeling or not.
As for copying Buddhist scriptures, it is impossible for Meng Zhen and them to supervise Shen Qin's copying progress and the number of copies made, how much she copied, and even whether she copied or not, how did Meng Zhen know?
The only so-called "punishment" that may have some effect is the "grounding introspection".
No matter how Shen Qin continued to stumble inside the Shen Mansion, at least she shouldn't be able to jump outside the Shen Mansion again, in front of Su Shen and Meng Hao.
After coming to this conclusion, Meng Hao touched her chin and thought secretly, "It seems that Master Shen really loves this concubine of his very much!" ”
Of course, Meng Hao felt that a large part of the reason why Master Shen was so perfunctory to them was that Master Shen didn't take her and Su Shen seriously at all, and didn't treat them as people who could talk to him on an equal footing.
Meng Hao was not angry, but she was obviously provoked to the competitive spirit in her bones.
Su Shen didn't know when he had already walked in from outside, and when he saw Meng Hao's lips pursed slightly, and a pair of eyes shining, Su Shen knew that Master Shen was in big trouble.
He sighed secretly.
Actually, it's a simple thing.
Even if Master Shen doesn't want to come, then he can send Shen Feng over, right?
Shen Feng is an old acquaintance of him and Meng Hao, he came to apologize for Shen Qin, can Meng Hao and Su Shen still make things difficult for him and give him a look?
What Meng Hao really wants to see is actually just an attitude of the Shen family.
She hoped that they could tell Shen Qin with their actual actions that if she did something wrong, then the Shen family would not choose to cover her indiscriminately.
Meng Zhen has always felt that only after Shen Qin loses her greatest reliance will she understand that she can't do whatever she wants, and she will have more thoughts and fears before acting.
Meng Hao didn't feel that her thoughts were just for self-interest, if it weren't for Shen Feng's face, Meng Hao would definitely not choose such a gentle way to warn Shen Qin.
But what did Master Shen do?
Not only did he not regard this matter as a big deal, but he also chose to directly use money to smash people with his attitude.
He trampled on Meng Hao's kindness, and also trampled on their friendship with Shen Feng.
Su Shen was sure that Master Shen's attitude was definitely the last thing Meng Hao wanted to see, and it was definitely the easiest to anger Meng Hao.
Even if Meng Hao is not angry with Master Shen, Meng Hao will definitely fight back fiercely in the near future.
You must know that the girl is not a bone to gnaw on, and in her dictionary, there is never the word "obedient".
"I see what you mean."
"You can take the gift back, and Master Shen doesn't have to condescend to the door in person."
"After all, our family is just a small family, and it's really not worth Mr. Shen's waste of time and thoughts."
Every time she said a word, Meng Hao's smile would shine brightly, but somehow, Mama Su could catch a glimpse of danger in her seemingly harmless smile.
Her years of experience in house fighting told her that this little girl named Meng Zhen was definitely not a good girl.
While secretly glancing in her heart that her wife was prescient, Mama Su did not forget to sympathize with her master and her own lady.
"Mama, please, I have a lot of things at home, so I won't keep you more." Meng Hao said as she smiled and stretched out her hand to please.
Mama Su hurriedly bent her knees towards Meng Hao, "Then the old slave will leave first." Please also ask Miss Meng to stay, the old slave can't afford to send it off in person. ”
Meng Hao didn't insist, she stopped at the door of the house, and then quietly watched the Shen family led by Mama Su, and left Hao Mengyun's house with those gifts used to "apologize".
