Chapter 166: Homecoming

After the house was bought, Meng Zhen began to buy gifts for his family, and Yan Zhenwu took Shunzi and began to buy goods for the Meng family's grocery stores, cloth villages, and restaurants.

The purchase channels are fixed, Yan Zhenwu only needs to take the list and pay the deposit.

Wait until the merchant sends the goods to them to Ninghai County, and Yan Zhenwu can inspect the goods and pay the final payment.

He was busy with business here, but Meng Zhen was very happy to keep buying and buying with hibiscus.

Head rope, velvet flowers, bead flowers, comb grates, earrings, bracelets, rouge gouache, the latest color of muslin, Fucheng well-known embroidery girls made of small cloth tigers, all children like the delicate rattle, and then there are books, calligraphy, paper, brushes, ink strips and inkstones, Fucheng's unique tea, wine, snacks, snacks, preserved fruits, candied fruit......

After two days of shopping, Lin Lin bought two carriages of things, and Meng Zhen got into his own carriage back to Ninghai County.

Because she bought too many things, Yan Zhenwu not only hired another carriage for her, but also could only let Meng Zhen sit on the wheel of his own carriage like him.

As for the hibiscus, she was honored to have a small corner in the hired carriage.

Junko sat on the wheel of the carriage with the hired coachman.

The group of five still left the city early in the morning and entered the city when it was dark.

It's just that this time they entered Ninghai County.

"Sister!" Xiao Meng Qi, who had been looking forward to his sister's return, was the first to rush out of the house, followed by his two little servants, Yinshan and Holly.

One step slower than the three of them was Hao Mengyun and her baby son Xiao Steamed Bun.

The steamed bun had just woken up from his sleep not long ago, and was babbling in a fairy tale that no one could understand.

Hao Mengyun is now slightly plumper than before she was pregnant, and she has a mature charm unique to a young woman, and she is more prosperous than before.

As soon as Yan Zhenwu saw his son and daughter-in-law, he couldn't see anyone else anymore.

Meng Zhen couldn't help but laugh and asked Junzi to settle the hired coachman.

Junzi called Yinshan, Holly, Hibiscus, Aunt Guo and others to come and help, and they worked together and quickly unloaded all the things in the car into the yard.

Junko asked Hibiscus to look at the placement of the things, and he took the coachman to the inn closest to the Meng family.

Helping the coachman pay for the house, food, and forage for the horse, Junzi settled the silver taels for the hired car to the middle-aged uncle.

When he finished doing this, he returned to Meng's house to report to Yan Zhenwu, and Yan Zhenwu and the others had already eaten hot and fragrant hand-rolled noodles.

The noodles are mushroom egg sauce that has been watered and poured over again, which is light and delicious but very filling.

Junko also only ate one dry food at noon today, so when he saw the noodles, this kid's eyes immediately glowed green.

Sister-in-law Deng, who was in charge of the kitchen, hurriedly filled a big bowl of noodles for Shunzi, "Eat, the master also asked me to leave you salted duck eggs." Well, I'll cut you in half and put it there. ”

Shunzi was very ironing in his heart, he thanked Sister-in-law Deng, and then couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and eat it in a big gulp.

At this time, Meng Zhen and Hao Mengyun were facing each other, talking and laughing while distributing the two large carts of gifts brought back by Meng Zhen and Yan Zhenwu.

Of course, toys and other things belong to small steamed buns, and there is no doubt that the delicious ones should be shared by everyone, and the wine and tea are put in the warehouse, and anyone who wants to drink can take them out at any time.

Books, calligraphy, paper, brushes, ink strips, and inkstones, these things Meng Zhen distributed to Meng Qi and Su Shen according to their needs.

Delicate but worthless gadgets such as head ropes, velvet flowers, bead flowers, and combing grates, Meng Zhen gave them to a few maids and wives at home.

A small portion of earrings, bracelets, and rouge gouache, Meng Zhen plans to keep them for later rewarding the maidservants in the family.

Most of the remaining earrings, bracelets, rouge gouache, and half of the latest muslin cloth were sent back to Yulin Village.

The Guo family and the Yang family in Yulin Village are also about to have a happy event, and Meng Zhen wants to give these things to Guo Xing'er and Guo Yang, Guo Song, and Yang Dahu's future daughters-in-law.

As for Hao Mengyun, Meng Hao gave her four pieces of muslin cloth of different colors, and gave her a few boxes of good rouge gouache and a pair of hollow double-strand gold hairpins.

The hollow gold hairpin is more delicate in workmanship, and the second is that it is lighter and comfortable to wear, and at the same time, because the weight is placed there, its price is cheaper than that of the solid one.

"What about your own? You wouldn't have bought yourself nothing, would you? Holding the double-strand golden hairpin that Meng Zhen gave her, Hao Mengyun stared at Miss Meng with blazing eyes.

Meng Hao subconsciously scratched her head, "I don't love these things." ”

Hao Mengyun was completely speechless, "Then you have to dress up too!" Do you still think you are a child? You're already engaged! What does it look like to always wear men's clothes? ”

With a little force, she pulled Meng Hao's delicate skin, and pulled her original goose egg face into a round white cake.

Meng Zhen: "......"

Hao Mengyun was speechless, "Okay, let's wait for me to have time, I'll buy you some wipes to wear." ”

Meng Hao smirked at her.

Hao Mengyun completely lost his temper.

This apprentice of hers really doesn't have the consciousness of being a woman at all.

After the two of them finished dividing their things, Hao Mengyun asked what the house in Meng Zhen's Mansion City looked like.

Meng Hao described it carefully to her, Hao Mengyun listened to it with a yearning expression, but when she thought of such a good house, they could only let it be empty, Hao Mengyun couldn't help but feel very pity.

"Why don't you wait for Ah Shen to finish the Qiu Yu exam, and then rent that house to someone else?"

Meng Zhen shook her head, "Still can't." The house has not been inhabited by anyone else since it was renovated. It's rare to have such a coincidence, and I plan to keep this house for us to live in by ourselves in the future. ”

Meng Zhen is somewhat clean in some aspects, and when conditions permit, she usually renovates the newly bought house and then moves in with her family.

If it's the kind that hasn't been renovated, Meng Zhen basically only invests.

Now the Great Zhou Dynasty has only been established for seven or eight years, and with the development of the economy and the increase of population in the future, the houses, shops, and Zhuangzi she has bought now will inevitably continue to increase in value in the future.

Therefore, Meng Hao has always taken the safest and easiest way to accumulate wealth in her opinion over the years.

She first used her high strength to make money, and when she had a certain amount of savings, she used the money to buy Zhuangzi, houses, and shops, and then waited for them to continue to rise in price while collecting rent.

Facts have also proved that Meng Hao's judgment is very accurate, and over the years, the houses, shops, and Zhuangzi she has bought have indeed increased in value steadily.

She said to Hao Mengyun: "In the future, if Ah Shen and Ah Qi take the road of entering the imperial examination, then we will definitely have to go to the city." Besides, even if we don't go, Ah Shen and Ah Qi can lend the front one into the courtyard to their classmates who go to Fucheng to take the exam and live in poverty temporarily. ”
