Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is already the early summer of the following year.

As early as after the Spring Festival, in mid-February, Meng Hao bought a large mansion with three entrances and east and west courtyards near the old house of the Meng family in the county seat.

At the end of February, their family and Yan Zhenwu's family moved in with all the people in the family.

Yan Zhenwu and his white fat son with the milk name "Mantou" lived in the east courtyard of the family, Su Shen and Meng Qi lived in the second courtyard of the family, and Meng Zhen took her maids alone and lived in the third courtyard connected to the small garden.

In addition, Meng Zhen also bought two spacious shops with two courtyards in the county town to collect rent.

On the twelfth day when Meng Zhen and the others moved to the Sanjin mansion, Shen Qin was married to her partner by Master Shen.

Although Shen Qin did not pit Master Shen as a father, Master Shen still relented to her in the end.

Although this level of soft-heartedness is not enough for Master Shen to change her husband's family, it is enough for Master Shen to endure the heartache and give most of his private money for Shen Qin.

Mrs. Shen was clear about Master Shen's actions, but for the sake of Shen Qin's upcoming marriage, Mrs. Shen did not have a serious relationship with Master Shen because of this kind of thing.

Not only did she not take it seriously, but Mrs. Shen even gave Shen Qin a set of gold and ruby jewelry very generously as a makeup.

Shen Qin has coveted this set of jewelry for a long time, originally she thought that Mrs. Shen would not give this set of jewelry to her, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen actually rushed to get this set of jewelry that she once wanted to get in her hands, but failed every time before she got married.

What she didn't know was that Mrs. Shen was neither looking at their so-called "mother-daughter relationship", nor on the face of her father, Master Shen.

Mrs. Shen simply wanted to celebrate, and she finally married Shen Qin, a bad girl.

Mrs. Shen is not short of jewelry, if a set of jewelry can be exchanged for Shen Qin to stop for a few days and get married with peace of mind, then Mrs. Shen is happy to give up this set of gorgeous jewelry that she doesn't really like very much.

***

Three months after Shen Qin's marriage, Meng Zhen followed Yan Zhenwu to the provincial capital.

In about two and a half months, Su Shen was going to Fucheng to participate in the Autumn Festival, Meng Zhen didn't want his nearly two years of hard study to be in vain due to some external reasons, so she planned to do her best to provide Su Shen with the best material conditions.

Su Shen was very moved.

He originally wanted to go over early and squeeze the inn with his other classmates, but Meng Hao was very persistent.

In her words, isn't the money earned for spending, and their family is not short of the 1,800 taels of silver to buy a house.

Su Shen was amused by Meng Hao's deliberately made appearance of a local tyrant, and the two reached an agreement in laughter and decided to go to Fucheng to buy a house.

From Ninghai County to Fucheng, it takes a day to take a carriage.

Meng Hao entrusted Meng Qi to Hao Mengyun to take care of, and then before dawn, wearing men's clothes, he got into the family carriage with Yan Zhenwu and Mu Hibiscus.

The car was driven by Yan Zhenwu's newly bought little servant Shunzi, this child is sixteen years old this year, originally a little beggar under the hands of the sixth son, because he has some martial arts talent, he is honest and loyal, so Yan Zhenwu asked him to his side.

Junko likes his new identity very much, after all, compared to being a beggar, being a small servant is obviously more well-fed and warm, and he is more popular.

And as they get older, they don't always have to beg in the streets and alleys with nothing to do—children may be pitied, and fifteen or sixteen-year-old young people will no longer be soft on you.

Therefore, the sixth son has been constantly looking for a new way out for his older brothers over the years.

Those who are suitable for management work, or have nowhere to go because of physical disabilities, the six sons basically left them in the "beggar gang" in Ninghai County, so that they are either responsible for managing the new little beggars, or helping to do some light work within their ability.

Those who have no management skills and are good at supporting themselves, the sixth son will let them find some work.

Although it is difficult for them to find relatively easy jobs as beggars, they are still likely to get those jobs that require a lot of effort.

In addition, Meng Zhen also accepted a lot of his hands into his Zhuangzi and shop, although these people do not have any skills that can be mastered, but because of the careful management and training of the six sons, all of them are well-behaved and hard-working.

Meng Hao asked people to take them and let them learn by doing, although these people are not very smart, but they all learn very seriously.

Therefore, when the guys in the store or the old farmers in the village take them through the whole process, they will naturally be able to pick up their own work, but it will not make Meng Hao make a loss-making transaction.

Compared with them, Shunzi, who was wanted to be a small servant by Yan Zhenwu's side, is a minority among beggars.

"Master, Miss Meng, Sister Hibiscus, you have arrived at the gate of the city." At dusk, Shunzi, a little guy who had been driving for a day, excitedly shouted such a sentence in his throat.

Meng Zhen put up the car window and saw at a glance the gate of Fucheng, where pedestrians were constantly entering and leaving.

Junko drove the carriage to the end of the line into the city.

The carriage slowly moved along with the flow of traffic and people, and after about a quarter of an hour, Junko finally got on his turn and paid the money and entered the city.

The carriage door was opened from the outside by the armored soldiers, and after a while, Meng Hao heard the soldiers in charge of inspecting their carriage say "let go" loudly.

Junko thanked the man before waving her whip and slowly driving the carriage into the city.

It was not early, and the four of them went straight to the inn with a clear goal.

The inn is a century-old store called "Shunlai Inn" where Yan Zhenwu used to live, and Shunzi asked for two upper rooms at the counter, one for him and Yan Zhenwu, and one for Meng Zhen and Mu Hibiscus.

The carriage was taken by the shopkeeper to the backyard of the inn, where someone would help them feed the horses and drink the horses.

The four of them settled down and saluted, simply washed away the dust, and Yan Zhenwu asked people to send two tables of dinner.

Considering everyone's tastes and the amount of food, Yan Zhenwu ordered himself and Shunzi stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried meat with chili, stewed eggplant, fish head tofu soup and a large pot of white flour steamed buns, and Meng Zhen and Mu Hibiscus called pork ribs with soy sauce, minced meat tofu, tomato scrambled eggs, cabbage ball soup and two small bowls of somen noodles in clear soup.

The taste of the food can only be said to be average, but it is better than the quantity, affordability, clean and fresh.

Meng Zhen and Mu Hibiscus, two women, three dishes, one soup and two bowls of somen noodles, they couldn't finish it at all.

It was a waste, and Meng Hao divided one-third of the various dishes into a clean plate before eating, "Take them to Uncle Yan and them." ”

Hibiscus replied, and quickly sent a large plate of food to the next room.

Yan Zhenwu is a person who practices martial arts, and Shunzi happens to be in the terrible stage of "half a big child, eating a poor old man", so even if there is a large plate of dishes, the two of them still swept all the food on the table into their stomachs.
