Since taking Meng Qi home, Meng Zhen has not gone up the mountain again.

She either took Su Shen and others to practice martial arts every day, or prepared three meals a day for several people in her family in a different way.

On the contrary, it was Hao Mengyun and Yan Zhenwu, who had to go to the mountains for a walk almost every day.

The prey they caught was many and miscellaneous, except for a small part left at home for their own consumption, and they gave the rest to Meng Zhen and asked her to take it to the town for money.

Meng Hao thought that the two of them were asking her to run errands at first, so she and Su Shen drove the carriage together, and Ma Yuer sent the things to the Jufu Restaurant in the town.

Who knew that after Yinzi came back, Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun actually said in unison that this money was the "food fee" they handed over to Meng Zhen.

also said that in this winter, Meng Hao served them every day to eat and drink, and if they didn't make some contributions, they would be embarrassed to stay any longer.

Meng Zhen was speechless by what they said, in case the two packed up their packages and went back to the county, Meng Zhen had no choice but to acquiesce to them changing their ways to make up for themselves.

Of course, Meng Zhen is not in the habit of receiving favors in vain.

In addition to silently keeping this favor in mind, Meng Zhen also began to cook food for Hao Mengyun and Yan Zhenwu in different ways.

So the Guo family next door can smell all kinds of fragrances from the Meng family on time and on time almost every day.

Not to mention the little girl Guo Xing'er, even Aunt Guo and Guo Yang, the two "adults", were secretly swallowed by the fragrance from the yard next door.

Fortunately, Meng Hao has never been a lover of eating alone, and every time she does something new, Meng Hao will ask Guo Yang, Guo Xing'er, Guo Song, and Guo Huai to take some home.

In this way, Aunt Guo's family and Second Uncle Guo's family can eat fresh things almost every day.

***

Time passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, Meng Zhen and they had ushered in a festival that the ancients attached great importance to - the winter solstice.

The day before the winter solstice, Meng Hao took Su Shen and Meng Qi to the town to buy things.

The new small hand stove in the grocery store, the soft and white fine new cotton, the soft cotton cloth of the latest color, the newly killed half of the fat pig by the butcher shopkeeper, the large pot of pig blood that is still steaming, the clean pig intestine used to make meat sausages and blood sausages, the fine japonica rice that has just been put out in the grain store, the yellowish flour that is finely ground from this year's new wheat, the snacks and sugar cubes for the children, and the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar and tea used daily at home......

It was the first time for Xiao Meng Qi to go shopping alone with his brother and sister, the little guy was holding Meng Hao with his left hand and Su Shen with his right hand, and his little chubby face was full of smiles.

He called Meng Zhen to buy him sugar gourds for a while, and begged Su Shen to buy him a few good-looking sugar people.

When the little belly of the food bulged into a half-spherical shape, Xiao Meng Qi fell in love with the spinning tops, kites, and bamboo dragonflies handmade by street vendors.

Meng Hao felt sorry for him since he was a child, so he has always been very fond of him, Meng Hao never relaxed when he should teach and manage, but Meng Hao is really very fond of Meng Qi when he should be spoiled.

Just like now, whatever Meng Qi wants, Meng Zhen will basically buy it for him without saying a word, or eat or play.

When little Meng Qi couldn't walk anymore, Meng Hao was about to carry him on his back without saying a word.

"I'll carry him." Su Shen felt sorry for her and moved and lifted all the way, and she didn't make a lot of effort, so she took the first step to carry Xiao Meng Qi on her back.

Meng Hao's heart warmed, and she bowed slightly, "Then it's hard for you." ”

Su Shen smiled slightly, "What are you polite with me." ”

The two laughed and went to the next shop, but they didn't know that in the carriage that slowly drove past them, Shen Qin was staring at Meng Hao and Meng Qi, the two siblings, with a resentful expression.

Since the last time he was in front of the Shen Mansion, he happened to see Su Shen with a good appearance, and Shen Qin began to find out all the news about Su Shen.

In order to get the most authentic first-hand news for the first time, Shen Qin uncharacteristically no longer rejects the "rural place" of Mujiaji Town.

Under the banner of "scattering her heart", she offered to come back to the old house in the town to live for a while.

Master Shen did not doubt him, and very readily agreed to let Shen Qin take the maid back to Mujia Market Town.

How did he know that this concubine of his, her distraction was fake, and it was true to inquire about foreign men.

However, Su Shen's news is not so easy to investigate, after all, this kid usually lives in a simple place, except for hunting in the mountains, he goes to Jufu Restaurant to sell things.

Even if they occasionally accompany Meng Zhen to purchase in the town, they are always quick to solve the problem every time, Shen Qin received the news that Su Shen came to the town, and Su Shen has already followed Meng Zhen back to the village.

So after such a long time, all Shen Qin could know was Su Shen's name, his identity as an orphan, and then his current household registration location (Yulin Village).

Of course, this is also related to the fact that she always can't get along with ink.

After all, the old shopkeeper of Jufu Restaurant in the town is the grandfather of the ink, Shen Qin used to always target other people's precious grandsons, but now he naturally doesn't dare to go to others to inquire about a foreign man.

She was afraid that the old shopkeeper would go to Master Shen to sue her openly under the banner of being good for her.

In desperation, Shen Qin had no choice but to give up and go to the people at Jufu Restaurant to inquire about the news.

However, these people, led by the old shopkeeper, are the people who have the most contact with Su Shen in the entire town.

As a result, Shen Qin's hard work and hard work until now, his understanding of Su Shen is still pitiful.

She boasted about herself there but couldn't, but Meng Zhen and Meng Qi accompanied Su Shen shopping with a happy face, especially Shen Qin also knew Meng Hao's real gender.

How does this make her not jealous? How not to get angry?

If it weren't for her rushing back to the county seat now and spending the winter solstice with her family, Shen Qin would have wanted to get out of the car directly and tear Meng Hao's black face.

Fortunately, Meng Zhen didn't know what this thing was slandering her, otherwise she would have unceremoniously thrown five words to the other party - blind, are you?!

She ran around before, first to avenge her parents, and then to earn a sum of money as soon as possible, and she was really dark during that time.

But she has been covering her home for so many days during this time, and she is forced by Hao Mengyun to smear all kinds of things on her face, neck, and hands every day, how can she still have a black face?

Miss Meng, who resolutely believes that she has become a white color, of course refuses to admit that she is still the little black girl she used to be.

"Do you know what the two guys who were with him had to do with him?" In the carriage that had already driven away, Shen Qin asked his personal maid with a gloomy face.

The little maid's face turned pale with fright, "Say yes...... Su Gongzi's cousin and cousin. ”

Shen Qin's face became more and more gloomy.

Cousins and cousins or something, but they are the most popular marriage partners nowadays, after all, it is easier to "get the right match" and "know the roots".
