In the autumn of the third year of Xuanwu, on the ninth day of the eighth month, the fourteen-year-old Meng Zhen and her younger brother Meng Qi were removed from the service together.

Su Shen's filial piety period ended half a month earlier than her and Meng Qi, so from today onwards, the three of them can eat meat anytime and anywhere like ordinary people.

After guarding filial piety for twenty-seven months and eating vegetarian food for twenty-seven months, Meng Zhen doesn't care about herself, after all, she is actually an adult in her bones.

Meng Qi, who is still young, is more offended, although after the first year, Meng Zhen began to cook porridge and noodles with bone broth and chicken broth for him, but where is the taste of the broth as good as the comfort of eating meat?

Meng Zhen was even mentally prepared that Meng Qi would not be able to complete the twenty-seven months of filial piety, but unexpectedly, Meng Qi's little person was a hundred times more self-disciplined than she imagined.

In addition to being relieved, Meng Zhen, Su Shen, Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun couldn't help but love Meng Qi more and more.

Today, Xiao Meng Qi, who is just six years old, has already become the treasure in the palm of the four "adults" in the family.

The little guy has always insisted on eating a vegetarian diet and practicing martial arts, so that the original round little body has now become a lot slimmer.

In addition, this child also learned a whole book of "Three Character Classics", a whole book of "Hundred Family Names", and most of the "Thousand Character Text".

He also studied with several of Meng Hao's apprentices, and their cultural master was Su Shen, who also studied martial arts with Meng Hao.

Su Shen didn't study much before his family died, and if it weren't for the sudden death of his parents, he was originally going to directly participate in the scientific examination in the first year of the new dynasty.

With his level of education, there is no problem at all in teaching a few children to read and write.

The only problem is probably that Meng Zhen has to supply so many people's pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Fortunately, in the past two years, Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun have been sparing no effort to help her, so that she will not use the windfall because she is overburdened.

Of course, Guo Yang and they didn't just enjoy and don't pay.

Whether it is Aunt Guo's family, Second Uncle Guo's family, or Old Man Yang's grandson, they are all full of gratitude to Su Shen and Meng Zhena.

And they are not only grateful in their hearts, but they have also been trying to repay Meng Hao and Su Shen for this great kindness in action.

Whenever there is something delicious at home, these three families will let their children take it to the Su family and the Meng family as soon as possible.

If the Su family and the Meng family have any work, these three families will immediately work together to help finish it.

Yang Erhu and Guo Huai are in the Meng family or the Su family almost every day, they follow Meng Zhen to learn martial arts, follow Su Shen to learn literature, and more often play with Meng Qi, so that he will not be lonely and without his peers.

They treated Meng Qi very well, and Meng Zhen naturally treated them well, so these two little guys soon began a beautiful life of having at least one lunch at Meng's house every day.

Unlike the eating pattern of most people in the village, who eat coarse grains and wild vegetables as the staple food, Meng Zhen never cooks that people can't swallow.

These two little guys could eat fine grains, eggs, tofu, and meat at the Meng family every day, so that they quickly changed from skinny and pitiful little buns with ruddy cheeks and meat on their bodies.

In addition, their respective elder brothers, as early as a year ago, had been led by Meng Hao and Su Shen to collect medicine and hunt deeper in the mountains, so now the two little ones were able to eat a little fine grain or meat in their own homes.

In this way, the people in the village naturally became more and more envious of Guo Yang's family, Guo Ershu's family, and Old Man Yang's ancestors and grandchildren - they also wanted to make a small fortune with Meng Zhen and Su Shen!

It's a pity that Meng Hao doesn't look down on the children of other families in the village at all.

It's not that those children have bad roots and are not suitable for martial arts, she just doesn't want those villagers to use the children in the family as a stepping stone and a means to enter the house.

She didn't want her home to be spied on, and she didn't want some villagers to be cheeky and disturb her family's clean life.

Meng Hao's attitude was resolute, Su Shen, Meng Qi, Hao Mengyun and Yan Zhenwu implemented her decision extremely thoroughly, plus Guo Lizheng also resolutely stood on Meng Hao's side, those villagers had nothing to do, and gradually they no longer expected Meng Hao and Su Shen to accept their children.

However, this does not mean that they have put out their thoughts of getting involved with the Meng family and the Su family.

Before Su Shen and Meng Zhen were dismissed, someone in the village had already made up the idea of their marriage.

Especially alone, handsome, literate and hyphenation, outstanding martial arts... Su Shen, who can be said to be the perfect husband candidate, has been able to form two football teams with many girls who have beaten his ideas in the past two years.

This is thanks to Su Shen's indifferent expression that no one is close to, otherwise Meng Zhen believes that there will be more girls who want to rely on Su Shen.

is not like her, firstly, her appearance is not as attractive as Su Shen, and secondly, there is Meng Qi, a "little oil bottle" who is disliked by the villagers.

Those who rarely take practical action against her, the matchmaker invited by them often conveys the man's pickiness to Meng Zhen on his behalf.

These people are whimsical, either asking Meng Zhen to use the family's land as a dowry, or asking Meng Zhen not to make up for her mother's family after she gets married, in short, a thief who is racing to talk to himself.

Treating this kind of person, Meng Zhen has never understood what politeness and politeness are.

Not only did she let the dog bite the matchmakers who dared to come to her door and talk nonsense—yes, Meng Hao didn't give those matchmakers a chance to enter her home at all, but she also mocked the whimsical villagers who took themselves too seriously.

It is worth mentioning that Su Shen's reaction in this matter was greater than Meng Hao's, and after those matchmakers came to the door to talk nonsense, they would basically start to memorize words and be unlucky together with those who dared to beat Meng Zhen's idea.

Su Shen is still very measured, and those people will basically only break their fortunes, lose some teeth, and fall a few times.

But even so, gradually the people in the village did not dare to fight Meng Zhen's idea easily.

After all, no one is stupid, once or twice, maybe no one doubts, and if there are many times, who will not secretly think about it.

In this way, Meng Zhen finally doesn't have to continue to deal with those strange players.

As for those little girls who admired Su Shen, tsk, as long as they remembered their dream shattering road, Meng Hao couldn't help but sympathize with them.

The first little girl who secretly sent Qiu Bo to Su Shen, Su Shen frowned, and said to others with a disgusted face, "If you have cramps, go to the doctor, don't just block the road." ”

The second little girl who dropped her purse in front of Su Shen, Su Shen was expressionless, raised her foot and stepped directly from the purse, and muttered in her mouth, "A good water duck is actually embroidered into a ball of weeds, I'm afraid this embroidery work is not a big man doing it in private, right?" ”

The third girl who wanted to fall directly into Su Shen's arms was the worst, because Su Shen was nothing, and she flashed several feet away with a swish, and the girl didn't notice it for a while, and actually fell directly into the crop field on the side of the road. Not to mention the color on his face, his feet were accidentally damaged.

As for other rules and regulations that make people come to the door to say goodbye, Su Shen simply dismissed them with the words "filial piety".
