Chapter 69: Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred

On the third day after the Laba Festival, Yan Zhenwu received a message from an acquaintance in the county.

The coachman who sent him to summon him with two coins of silver, Yan Zhenwu found Meng Zhen and said straight to the point: "Zhen Zhen, those people from the Meng family have entrusted the tooth people to sell the two shops left by your father and mother. ”

He didn't say that before he came to Yulin Village, he had asked his friends in the county to help him do something, so that those rotten people of the Meng family could not live smoothly in the county seat.

Meng Hao guessed that she took the nearly four hundred taels of silver she had obtained from selling her prey during this period and took three hundred and sixty taels to Yan Zhenwu to take to the county seat.

With more than thirty taels left, Meng Zhen is ready to stay at home in case of emergency.

She told Yan Zhenwu, "Don't save the money you should spend, our biggest goal is to buy all the two shops." If you can't do it, you can give some money to the tooth man in private. ”

Yan Zhenwu smiled heartily, "Liu Yaren, don't worry, he has some friendship with me, since I want to buy it, he will definitely not sell the shop to others." ”

However, he really needs to embezzle a small part of the silver that Meng Hao gave.

After all, those little gangsters who are entrusted by him to trouble the Meng family every day, he can't let the family be busy in vain, right?

The two reached a consensus that Yan Zhenwu would drive back to the county.

Hao Mengyun didn't worry that he was carrying a huge amount of money alone - you must know that he now had 1,260 taels of silver handed over to him by Meng Hao, so Hao Mengyun was also ready to go back with him.

Before they left, Su Shen suddenly remembered that there were not many ink strips and paper at home, so he asked the two of them to help buy some back.

During this time, he had been teaching Meng Qi to read and write, and the ink strips and paper were consumed quickly.

The little guy has accepted the fact that his parents are dead, but he likes others to accompany him to do some of the things that Meng Qingze and Wu Shi have done with him before.

For example, teach him to paint red, read to him or tell him stories, and then make him delicious food, accompany him to try on new clothes, and take him to eat various snacks on the street.

Perhaps because of a similar experience, Su Shen loved Meng Qi very much, who also had both parents dead.

Coincidentally, Meng Qi also trusted and relied on Su Shen extraordinarily.

Although Su Shen has been with him for far less time than Yan Zhenwu, his dependence on Su Shen is far above Yan Zhenwu.

Before getting into the car, Hao Mengyun waved his hand at Meng Hao, "Okay, you all go back to the house." With me following you Uncle Yan, what else do you have to worry about? ”

Yan Zhenwu also said: "After buying a shop, we will definitely go back to the village as soon as possible to report the news, you just have to wait with peace of mind." ”

Meng Hao smiled and nodded, "Then you and the master are careful all the way, Ah Qi and Ah Shen and I are waiting for you at home." ”

At this time, none of the five people thought that Hao Mengyun and Yan Zhenwu's trip to the county seat would drag on for five or six days.

The two people who had planned to leave this afternoon and return to the village on the afternoon of the third day at the latest had to drag it out until the morning of the sixth day, when they drove the carriage back to Meng's house with the remaining silver tickets and the deed of the two shops in hand.

When they entered the door, Meng Zhen was playing with Su Shen.

Because these two people have dragged on for too long, Meng Zhenda has been anxious since yesterday.

Su Shen couldn't see her fidgeting like this, so after eating today's breakfast, Su Shen proposed to let Meng Zhen teach him to tie the ropes.

Meng Zhen was playing the network at that time, or rather, under the banner of the network, thinking crankily there.

With Su Shen mixed in, Meng Hao's mind was finally temporarily detached from her various negative assumptions.

She took a deep breath, pressed down the uneasiness in her heart, and began to patiently teach Su Shen to play the rope.

Originally, she thought that Su Shen was just casually finding an excuse to "want to learn to play the ropes" to distract her energy, so that she didn't keep thinking crankily, scaring herself, and really started teaching, but Meng Zhen found out that Su Shen actually studied very seriously.

Don't look at Su Shen as a novice compared to her, but the speed at which he learns things makes Meng Hao amazed.

Any kind of Luo that Meng Hao can play, as long as she teaches it once, Su Shen can play another one by herself very skillfully.

His slender and dexterous fingers flew up and down, and in a few moments he made several very beautiful lines.

Meng Zhen, who has been two months younger than these tricks alone: ...... Envy, jealousy, hatred, !!

She was thinking about whether to let Su Shen study female celebrity instead of herself in the future, but the gate of the courtyard was pushed open from the outside at this time.

Meng Hao glanced at it, "It's Master and Uncle Yan!" ”

As she spoke, the girl was about to rush into the courtyard.

Su Shen hurriedly pulled the rabbit skin jacket on the side, "Hey-you put on this first and then go out!" ”

Meng Hao stretched out her hand and grabbed it, and the leather jacket in Su Shen's hand was grabbed by her.

The girl's footsteps did not stop, she wore a leather jacket while rushing out, and her movements were clean and neat, revealing a trace of handsomeness.

Su Shen stroked his forehead, he wore his own leather jacket and went out, but he didn't forget to secretly rejoice that Meng Qi was taken to Guo Huai's second uncle's house by Guo Huai.

Meng Zhen's style of running out without wearing thick clothes is too easy to bring bad children!

Slandering Meng Zhen in his heart that he really didn't know what it meant to "lead by example" as a sister, Su Shen opened the door curtain and walked out of the room.

In the courtyard, Meng Hao had already spoken to Yan Zhenwu, "Uncle Yan, you are back!" I thought you guys were in trouble! ”

"No, no, we're a little bit of something else." Yan Zhenwu's wheat-colored skin was red at this time, Su Shen originally thought that he was frozen, but Yan Zhenwu's expression and eyes made Su Shen suspicious.

It always feels... Uncle Yan doesn't seem to dare to look at Zhen Zhen?

Su Shen touched his smooth jaw with a thoughtful expression.

Meng Hao didn't see anything wrong at all, "It's okay, it's okay." After driving for so long, you and the master are afraid that they are all frozen, right? You go into the house, and I will unload the carriage. ”

At this time, Hao Mengyun stepped on the wheel and jumped out of the carriage, and Meng Zhen saw that she was really alive, and her heart was completely put back into her stomach.

She turned around and instructed Su Shen with a thoughtful expression with a smile, "Ah Shen, don't stand stupidly, there is hot water in the stove room, you go and make two bowls of brown sugar water for the master." ”

Su Shen didn't listen to her, "I'll unload the car, you go to the stove room to prepare sugar water." ”

Meng Hao's heart warmed, she responded with a smile, and then rushed into the stove room to get busy.

Hao Mengyun and Yan Zhenwu didn't enter the house immediately, and the two of them moved a bunch of things brought back from the county seat into the carriage, and then placed them properly in different categories.

After they had put everything in place, Meng Hao and Su Shen returned to the house with trays and barrels one after the other.

Meng Zhen put four bowls of brown sugar ginger water on the tray, and in the wooden bucket were the washing water she prepared for Hao Mengyun and Yan Zhenwu.
