Chong Xi (250) What is such a graciousness?

(250) What is such a hospitality?

"Lord Lou!" Zhao Chengcai was really surprised and delighted, meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign country is probably the best portrayal of his mood at this time.

Lou Ruiming (he finally has his full name) is also full of smiles, "Chengcai!" Why don't you come over and see Meng Guogong soon? ”

Zhao Chengcai was busy saluting the middle-aged elder who was richly dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, and Meng Zizhan's appearance was quite similar to him, and he could recognize it at a glance as father and son.

Meng Shangde smiled, "You're welcome!" Let's all sit down and talk. I heard that you only arrived yesterday, and I guess it was too late to visit Lord Lou, so I made an appointment with him when I went to court. Now that you know each other, it is better to speak. ”

Zhao Chengcai and Lou Ruiming hurriedly bowed down and thanked them again. After a few polite words, Meng Shangde asked his son about his son's official way in Zaranburg, he was much stricter than Mrs. Meng's, and he didn't listen to those emotional points, but he investigated his son's official affairs in more detail. Although Zhao Chengcai just explained, he sweated in his palms, and said everything he knew impartially, as for whether he did it well or not, it was up to the father to judge.

After asking about his son's official duties, he inspected Zhao Chengcai's homework for a few more words, and smiled at the end, "I'll send someone to send you a few books to go over, you can take care of it at home with peace of mind, and then let someone send you to Tai College for a walk in two days, and visit a few teachers, Lord Lou, do you want your two sons to be companions together?" ”

This is a good feeling! Although Lou Ruiming is also a seven-rank official, but in the capital where dignitaries gather, it is nothing at all, he and Meng Shangde were originally just general friends, if it weren't for Zhao Chengcai, there would be no chance to come to this mansion as a guest, and now he can still bring his two sons, of course, it is not allowed.

After Meng Shangde finished asking, he wanted to deal with some affairs, so he sent the little servant to invite them to the side hall to catch up with him, and Zhao Chengcai talked to Lou Ruiming about it.

It turned out that the British Duke of the Meng family was a hereditary title, and Meng Shangde's main position was a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion in the imperial court, which was the most influential minister around the emperor, there were only eight in total, and they dealt with all military affairs.

Lou Ruiming specifically mentioned, "Among the eight of them now, Meng Guogong was personally assigned to the crown prince when the first emperor passed away five years ago, that is, the current saint, and his identity is naturally different from others." ”

Emperor Xuan, whom Fang Dehai served in the past, has passed away, and is now called Emperor Jing. In the past, when he was the prince, he was always benevolent and loyal, and he was afraid that he would be too lenient and could not be suppressed, but after he ascended the throne, the courtiers found that the young emperor His Majesty also had a shrewd and strong side, but his words were kind and smooth, and his face was tolerant.

Since ancient times, how many people can be emperors? Zhao Chengcai nodded when he listened, but he didn't talk about it. But there is a question in my heart, is Meng Guogong the only one among those scholars who is referred to by the first emperor? Where did the other seven come from? But this is in the Meng family, there are some things that can't be asked and it's not easy to ask, Lou Ruiming told him this, just to remind him of the special status of the Meng family and make him cautious.

Although Zhao Chengcai still doesn't understand the complexity and sinister of this court, he still knows the people's hearts clearly, and he doesn't say thank you, but says, "I have already sent a greeting to the house early this morning, dare to ask when the adults are free, allow students to come to visit, and learn a thing or two with the two young brothers?" ”

This is something I want to say in a private room, and Lou Ruiming understood it as soon as he heard it, "What are you talking about?" Tomorrow afternoon, I will send my family to pick you up, but I will bring your mother, son and sister to sit together, let's drink and talk, don't get drunk and don't return! ”

Zhao Chengcai responded with a smile, and talked some more, and someone came to invite, the dinner was ready, and the two of them were invited. A large family, very rules, Meng Shangde accompanied the two of them in the front hall, but Mrs. Meng accompanied a group of female dependents in the back hall, Niu Dewang was still young and ignorant, so he let him follow the female dependents.

This time, Zhang Qingting can be regarded as understanding the people of the Meng family, it turns out that this Meng Shangde has two sons and two daughters. Only except for the eldest son Meng Zizhan who was born to Mrs. Meng, the rest were born to concubines.

The second son died at a young age, and after only mentioning it briefly, he was a little angry and interrupted the topic. The eldest of the two daughters is named Zhiyun, who is already fourteen, slim and elegant, and the younger one is called Zhixuan, who is ten years old this year.

Because of the thin income in the family, these two daughters were also raised personally under the nose of Mrs. Meng, and they were indifferent to their biological mothers, so they could only vaguely guess one or two from the faces of the aunts standing behind.

Although this meal was delicious, it was tasteless. Niu Dewang is young, and there are still people who help with the cloth vegetables, and he is full for seven minutes, Zhao Yulian only looked at her sister-in-law, she picked up the chopsticks herself, she dropped the bowl herself, and she was half full, so she sat down to drink tea and gossip. The two daughters of the Meng Mansion occasionally talked to her for a word or two, but Zhao Yulian replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, neither blindly greeting her, nor being petty, but Mrs. Meng looked at her a few more times.

Over there, Zhang Qingting was very easy to entertain, which made Mrs. Meng very happy, picking up the opportunity, she also said that she would take Niu Dewang to Najishitang to see a doctor today, and Mrs. Meng said busily, "Don't worry, I have already asked the master to go to the hospital to spread the word today, and I want to have news in the next two days." You just have to wait at home with peace of mind, and you won't let this trip go in vain! ”

Zhang Qingting thanked him, and Mrs. Meng seemed to ask casually, "I heard my mother-in-law say, you bought a few pieces of cloth back today, are you planning to sell them back?" ”

This old lady has long eyeliner, but Zhang Qingtingxin didn't intend to hide it from others, and replied with a smile, "I'm born with hard work, and I can't be idle if I want to!" Isn't this still a time to live in Beijing, so I bought a few cheap cloths from Rong Bao Zhai and came back, and wanted to make a few clothes to sell, old lady, don't laugh! ”

"What's the joke about that? It's hard for you, a woman, to think about these things all day long! Old Madam Meng's eyes narrowed, "Rong Bao Zhai's cheap cloth is also good, when you make it, send it to me and take a look!" If you want needlework, even if you open your mouth, I still have a few good needlework girls at home, anyway, they have nothing to do, it's better to learn to do something serious with you! ”

"Old lady, you're really ashamed of me!" Zhang Qingting laughed and laughed at himself, "How can I know anything serious?" The mothers and sisters in the house do delicate work, where can our thick needles and big threads get into your eyes? It's nothing more than a mess and a sale to poor people like us! ”

Old Madam Meng looked at her with a smile, "If you don't know what to do, you can run such a big horse farm?" ”

Zhang Qingting choked, the old lady is amazing! When she mentioned it inadvertently, she paid attention to it. But what did she mean by asking people to help her? Could it be that their family also has a tailor's shop and wants to learn something new? Impossible! So what is she so gracious for?

Zhang Qingting thought about it, he was just a married woman, and her family had a small business, so there was really nothing to covet. At most, I want to do something with her hand, and now I want to send someone under the fence, and I still promise it. So he smiled and said, "How many horses can we have in our horse farm?" It's a laugh out of people's big teeth to say it, and it's just starting to do it! If you are so considerate, old lady, then I will have to be cheeky to ask you for a few helpers. I'm not going to hide it from you, I'm going out looking for a tailor! It would be nice if there were mothers and sisters in the house to help me, but—" she chuckled, "don't think I'm a little girl, old lady, I can't afford to pay too much!" ”

The room was full of people laughing, and Mrs. Meng was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, "Okay, good!" If you put a hundred and twenty hearts, I will not charge your wages! ”

"That's not going to happen!" Zhang Qingting suddenly became serious again, "If it is done in vain, who is willing to bear this hardship?" I have to give a little money to the mothers and sisters who do things, so that they don't work in vain. ”

"Okay! It's all up to you! I just won't allow them to bargain with you, okay? Mrs. Meng laughed at everyone's words, she beckoned to call a powerful big girl ring beside her, "Bi Tao, this matter will be handed over to you, these days I have followed the little lady of the Zhao family, what do you want to do, just support someone to do it, if someone does not follow, you will come back to me, I will personally go and say yes!" ”

Mrs. Meng also immediately ordered, "Aunt Zhou, you are the housekeeper, have you heard the old lady's words?" ”

"Hear me! Zhao family lady, Bi Tao girl, if you have any send, just send someone to speak! ”

Zhang Qingting picked up a cup of tea and took a sip slightly, this left and right have ambushed me! Which incense is this old lady burning?

Waiting for the men in front of them to disperse, they also took their leave. As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Chengcai asked, "What else is there to eat in the kitchen?" Hurry up and get some! ”

Everyone laughed, and Zhang Qingting glanced at him, "You are really solid-eyed, you can't eat enough for that meal, so you won't take more snacks to eat?" ”

Zhao Chengcai's head shook like a rattle, "Others don't move, am I embarrassed to move?" Besides, those things are made of bells and whistles, and I don't know what they are, and they are sweet, I can't get used to it! ”

Zhang Qingting walked to the kitchen to take a look, "Then just boil a pot of porridge and serve it with some side dishes." ”

This one has been eaten, and it has been washed. The young couple packed up and prepared to go to bed while exchanging their respective messages for tonight.

But they couldn't guess what Mrs. Meng meant, Zhao Chengcai guessed randomly, "It can't be that the Meng family is short of money, and I want you to help find a way to make money, right?" ”

Zhang Qingting didn't feel it, "Could it be that I am so capable?" ”

Zhao Chengcai said, "You! That's what I'm best at......"

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door on the other side of the street, and the two of them were surprised, who could it be so late?
