Chapter 155: The Begging Festival

For a while, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little awkward, Meng Yu himself was not good at talking to people, and now Song Qingyi was unhappy, and he didn't know how to make her happy.

"I promise you, I'll get the diamond back for you." This sentence can be regarded as a promise to Song Qingyi.

"Forget it, no need, if it's gone, it's gone." Song Qingyi waved his hand, and it didn't matter.

But Song Qingyi's appearance in Meng Yu's eyes thought that she was really angry, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I can really get the diamond back for you, if you want to use silver now, you tell me, I can give it to you." ”

Song Qingyi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Meng Yu, even if she lost the diamond, she had made a fortune before, how could she have no silver, what did he think?

Meng Yu didn't know at all that what he had just said would make Song Qingyi feel that he was a little stunned, stupid and stunned.

Song Qingyi only ate a little bit for dinner, because she had something in her heart, so she didn't have much appetite.

After Song Qingyi left, Meng Yu also stopped eating. At this time, the butler who had been guarding the door walked in.

"General, Vice General Meng has taken people to the outside of the city to suppress bandits this afternoon." The butler twitched the corners of his mouth as he looked at the meal on the table that had already been eaten.

Why didn't he find out that his general was so able to eat before, could it be that because it was made by Miss Song, he ate so much?

"Why did you suddenly go to suppress the bandits?" Meng Yu frowned.

"General Meng was in a hurry at that time, and he only said that bandits were rampant outside the city, and he couldn't let those bandits continue to be arrogant, so he took four people to the outside of the city." In fact, the housekeeper felt that Vice Admiral Meng seemed to have done something wrong.

"Four people?" Meng Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." The butler nodded.

Even if he takes four people, and he himself is only five people, five people to suppress bandits, how does this matter sound so unreliable?

"Where did he go before leaving?" Meng Yu keenly felt that this matter was not so simple, and it was good to suppress the bandits, which made people have to doubt his intentions.

"The slave heard that Miss Song made boiled fish fillets in the kitchen, but Deputy General Meng smelled the smell and ate a bowl, and then left in a hurry, and then told the slave that he was going out to suppress the bandits, and asked the slave to tell the general about you." He needed to deal with all the big and small things in the General's Mansion, so he was clear about Vice General Meng's actions.

But that's all there is to it, and he doesn't know what they're talking about.

Meng Yu instantly knew that Meng Kuo must have said something that should not be said, so he went out to escape, after all, it was not the first time he had done such a thing.

However, thinking of the previous meeting between him and Song Qingyi, he was a little irritable. Could it be that Meng Kuo told Song Qingyi about that incident, if this was really the case, he really wanted to break that person's leg.

After Song Qingyi returned to the room, her mind began to become active again, she called the maid and asked, "Do you know what activities are held in the city for this year's Qiqiao Festival?" ”

"Every year in the city's begging festival, there are basically some lantern riddles and charade games, and those who win the top prize will have a certain reward." The maid replied.

Song Qingyi tapped his chin thoughtfully, what is the meaning of guessing lantern riddles all day long, it is better to do some interesting activities. Let's search for books

But now there are only a few days left before the Begging Festival, if she wants to do any activities, I wonder if those people will support it? After all, she has no power or power in this capital, and those people may not necessarily sell her face.

Face? She rolled her eyes, she really didn't seem to have any face, but just because she didn't have it didn't mean that others didn't.

"Okay, I know, you go down and rest first." Song Qingyi also had some calculations in his heart, and he had to wait until tomorrow to see the results.

Early the next morning, Song Qingyi woke up, and after eating in the morning, he called a few people.

"When you go to the homes of those rich merchants in the capital, you will say that General Meng has invited you to discuss something with them."

The minions blinked, not understanding what Song Qingyi meant by this, but Song Qingyi didn't bother to explain to them.

"You just need to bring my words with you, and it's up to them whether they come or not."

However, Song Qingyi was already confident, and went to invite those rich businessmen in the name of Meng Yu, how dare they not come, as long as they came, then her plan could be said to have succeeded for the most part.

"By the way, you want to invite those rich businessmen with a good reputation, and don't invite those who have a bad reputation." Song Qingyi thought about it and added.

She didn't want her activities to be ruined by those messy people, she wanted to do a clean job, lest those people mess up the way she wanted to make money.

Those minions didn't dare to ask more, so they could only take orders and pass on all her words to the rich merchants in the streets of the capital.

"What did General Meng say?" Although they hadn't done anything illegal, being suddenly summoned by the general really made them feel a little uneasy.

"Master Li, don't worry, our general invited a lot of people over, as if he wanted to discuss something, but I don't know the specifics, but the general also said that whether you go or not depends on your willingness, and he will not be reluctant."

The little guy's waist was very straight, and he didn't feel inferior in front of these rich businessmen because he was a subordinate, nor did he look down on people because he was a member of the General's Mansion.

Having said that, it was up to them whether to go or not, but I don't know how to hear it in his ears, but there was a hint of danger. If he really doesn't go, will something bad happen?

"Okay, I'll go as promised." Anyway, he didn't do anything hurtful, and he was afraid that General Meng would not succeed, so he would go.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Master Li this afternoon." The little guy turned and left.

The same thing happened in several courtyards in the capital, and sure enough, as Song Qingyi expected, it was really a wise move to rob these people under the banner of Meng Yu, and those little guys reported her results, saying that no one said that they would not come.

After the afternoon, those wealthy businessmen came as promised, and Song Qingyi had already prepared some food and refreshments, waiting for these people.

However, when those wealthy merchants saw that there was a woman sitting at the head, and they did not see General Mengda, they had some doubts in their hearts.

"General Meng has something to do today, so he wants me to entertain you." Song Qingyi's face was not red and he said breathlessly.

"Then I don't know what General Meng called us here this time?" Those people were a little restrained after entering the general's mansion, but when they saw that it was a woman who entertained them, their hearts slowly relaxed.
