Chapter 35: A husband as powerful as his brother-in-law
In the courtyard outside, Meng Kun hugged Meng Xing's leg who was leaving, "Big brother, I'll help me, this silver is not much, you give me some silver, or give me the shop I managed before, I can't let people chase me for money!" ”
Meng Xing kicked him out, "Now you know that you can't hang your face?" Drink flower wine to raise the outer room, forget it, you still go to gamble! How can I have the second master to be generous, I won't give out this silver. ”
Meng Kun chased Meng Xing out, and knelt in the old lady's courtyard without pretending.
He knew that the old lady's words would not work on Meng Xing's side now.
Meng Zhiyi stayed with him for a while, but he couldn't listen to his grandmother's sympathy for the second room, so he found an excuse to go back to Zhiyi Hospital.
Dong Solstice said in a playful voice: "Girl, the second lady is so angry when she hears about the second master." ”
The Liu family is already jealous, Liu Qiang is about to be beheaded again, and Meng Kun still owes so much silver for the sake of the woman, how can she not be angry?
Meng Zhiyi sneered, "In the final analysis, the second aunt still values the second uncle too much, the second uncle can't clean himself in the first place, and the second aunt forces the second uncle's mind to use it on her, but it is also self-torture." ”
"The second lady only has the second master to rely on, and the second son doesn't have the same heart as her, and she has nothing to count on......."
"Then count on yourself! What's the use of having a man? ”
After speaking, Meng Zhiyi saw Lu Nanfeng coming from behind the rockery.
Lu Nanfeng's eyes were dark, as dark as a deep pool, but his eyebrows were contemptuously raised.
Obviously, he heard Meng Zhiyi's words.
Meng Zhiyi blinked awkwardly.
Don't look at me!
Lu Nanfeng looked at Meng Zhiyi for a moment, as if to say: It's useless to ask for a man, what are you doing shouting about your husband?
"Husband~"
Meng Zhiyi pulled his tail cavity and took two steps forward to Lu Nanfeng, smiling and smiling, bright and beautiful.
Then he leaned close to Lu Nanfeng's ear, pinched his throat and said, "Where are you going?" ”
Hiss.
Lu Nanfeng shuddered.
He moved two steps to the right, a little farther away from Meng Zhiyi, and compromised, "I didn't hear anything." ”
Meng Zhiyi smiled slightly, "Husband's ear is not good?" ”
Lu Nanfeng didn't think twice, "That's right." ”
I didn't expect Meng Zhiyi to have this stunt, just by clamping his throat, he felt like he was poisoned, a good man doesn't fight with a woman, and he will be deaf to ensure his safety in the future.
“??” Dong Solstice looked dazed.
My uncle is so pitiful, he is disfigured and his ears are not good.
"Husband, where are you going?"
Meng Zhiyi approached Lu Nanfeng's ear and asked again.
"I said I didn't hear it!" Lu Nanfeng emphasized.
Meng Zhiyi was innocent, "I'm just worried that my husband's ear is not good, so I got closer and said it again, I think more about my husband." ”
Lu Nanfeng: "........"
"Go to Mud Alley."
"I'll go too."
Lu Nanfeng wanted to refuse, but when he saw Meng Zhiyi pretending to be well-behaved, he swallowed all the words back.
The two of them got into the carriage and headed to the mud alley.
"They are all fine, and the Meng family has given a lot of compensation, you don't have to go, they will also clarify the reputation of the Meng family for you."
This was not Lu Nanfeng's order, but those people in Mud Alley did it spontaneously.
Ordinary people don't know the specific situation at all, it's all passed from person to person, and they know it from other people's mouths. Therefore, as long as the people in Mud Lane are willing to talk about the good deeds done by the Meng family, the folk rumors will naturally be reversed.
Meng Zhiyi didn't think about it, and said indifferently: "The taxes are heavier, the powerful enclose the land, even if the year is good, it is difficult for the people to enjoy the winter." As far as I know, every year, my father would set up porridge sheds in various places where the harvest was not good, and although it could not fill everyone's stomach, it would not make everyone too hungry. ”
Therefore, she has never been worried about the reputation of the Meng family.
Now the Meng family's predicament is only temporary.
Lu Nanfeng saw Meng Zhiyi's confident appearance, and his eyes flashed.
It was rare that he did not refute Meng Zhiyi.
The eyes of the masses are bright. No matter what the rest of the Meng family is, most people still remember the things that Master Meng did.
"Slow down."
Meng Zhiyi lifted the curtain and glanced at the street outside, and said to the driver outside.
The winter solstice glanced at the places passing by, and also looked at it curiously.
Meng Zhiyi looked at it for a while, lowered the curtain, and looked at Lu Nanfeng.
"Husband, have you ever been to Chunfeng Tower?"
Lu Nanfeng's face sank, "I haven't been there." ”
Meng Zhiyi looked at him and reacted so much, a little funny, "Why are you so excited?" Men, how can there be people who don't drink flower wine. ”
"I don't drink it anyway." Lu Nanfeng said stiffly.
Meng Zhiyi pursed his lips and smiled, in short, he didn't believe it at all.
"Have you heard about the second uncle? If you look at the shops in the alley behind the Chunfeng Building, it is the Golden Building. That's the best gambling house in Jiangnan, and I'm curious that a gambling house can still play flowers. ”
"The Xu family is doing these businesses." Lu Nanfeng summarized.
"It seems that the husband still knows a lot about the Xu family."
"In the whole Jiangnan, who doesn't know about these families?"
That's true.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
Meng Zhiyi glanced through the curtain of the car, and saw the little guy next to Zhou Yongheng.
She intentionally or unintentionally avoided the Zhou family, but she didn't expect to run into her again when she finally went out.
But in Chunfeng Building, there doesn't seem to be anything strange.
"Miss Meng, three days later will be the 100th birthday banquet of the little son of the Zhou family, and I hope that the eldest lady can be there."
After saying that, he handed a post to the winter solstice.
The winter solstice didn't answer, and he turned his head to look inside the carriage.
Meng Zhiyi's eyes sank, and he remembered the sister-in-law of the Meng family in the dream before, but she was not friendly at all.
Dong Solstice raised his voice and said: "Why don't you send the post to the house?" There is no reason to stand in the way. ”
The little guy smiled, "The Meng Mansion has it, this is for the eldest lady." ”
In fact, he didn't dare to say the original words, Gongzi was worried that Miss Meng would not go, so he personally wrote another letter to her.
Dong Solstice turned his head to look again, and found that his girl still didn't command.
Meng Zhiyi looked at Lu Nanfeng: "Speaking of which, we have been married for a few months, and we haven't gone out together yet." ”
Lu Nanfeng's eyes were deep, but what he was thinking about was the abnormal reaction every time Meng Zhiyi saw Zhou Yongheng.
Outside, when the winter solstice heard Meng Zhiyi's words, he took the post in his hand, "Your Zhou family is really interesting." ”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at the lintel of the Chunfeng Building with disdain.
It just so happened that Zhou Yongheng was holding a girl on the second floor, staring at this side with fierce eyes.
Winter Solstice shook his hand and glanced at the coachman.
The coachman waved his whip, and the horse continued on.
Winter Solstice put the post in, "Girl, that little guy is too good at doing things, just block the road and send the post, and forcibly stuff the ....... in his hand"
Meng Zhiyi twitched the corners of his mouth: Don't explain, explanation is a cover-up.
She didn't look at the post, she looked at Lu Nanfeng directly.
"Does my husband want to go to Zhou's house with me?"
She thought that Lu Nanfeng should want to go.
Lu Nanfeng naturally did not miss the clumsy and strange move of the winter solstice, and asked rhetorically: "Can I decide for myself?" ”
Meng Zhiyi did not refuse.
Mud Alley.
The two of them walked through the alley together, and Lu Nanfeng turned back twice in a row, seeing that Meng Zhiyi had long been accustomed to the mud and smell here.
He silently tucked back his sleeves.
"Miss."
There are several doctors here who were arranged by the Meng family, and they were very respectful when they saw Meng Zhiyi.
"How's everyone?"
"It's almost recovered."
Meng Zhiyi nodded, went to see a few sick households, inquired carefully, and also checked the rice grain sent by the Meng family, and instructed that once there was a problem with the rice grain, he could go to the Meng family's shop in time to inform him of the replacement.
It was almost noon before Meng Zhiyi planned to go back.
In front of the carriage, Meng Zhiyi looked at his muddy skirt and shoes, and tightened his brows.
"Husband, why don't you have so much mud under your feet?"
Lu Nanfeng glanced at Meng Zhiyi and did not say anything.
He felt that today's Meng Zhiyi was too kind.
Dong Solstice said: "There is a ready-to-wear shop on the street in front, why don't you go and change your clothes?" ”
Otherwise, when you get into the carriage like this, you will have to change everything from the blankets in the carriage.
"Okay."
"Wait a minute?"
Lu Nanfeng's eyes flashed, "My shoes are also dirty." ”
That's what to follow.
Meng Zhiyi and Dong Solstice glanced at each other and followed his footsteps.
When he arrived at the ready-to-wear shop, Meng Zhiyi was changing clothes inside, and Lu Nanfeng was standing outside.
It was a woman in coarse linen clothes who helped Meng Zhiyi change her dress, with her head down and her hands and feet neat.
The winter solstice is standing near the door.
"Where will I send this dress after I wash it?"
"Send it to Mengfu."
The woman was stunned, raised her good-looking eyebrows and glanced at Meng Zhiyi, as if surprised, but still nodded: "Okay." ”
Winter Solstice took out a bag from his bosom and handed it to the woman.
The woman touched it, bent down and said, "Girl, this is too much......."
"Good work, you deserve it."
Meng Zhiyi quickly changed into a new dress and went out, and went to the carriage with Lu Nanfeng.
Back in Mengfu, Lu Nanfeng went back to the study.
"Go and check the shop she went to today."
Xuan Yi knocked on the window, which was a response.
Meng Zhiyi asked people to pass the meal, and he went to wash it first.
Dong Solstice was waiting on the side, and couldn't help muttering, "Girl, those good-looking hairpins are gone." ”
"It's okay, it's much better."
Meng Zhiyi leaned against the bathtub, closed his eyes slightly, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
After washing, he found that Meng Mingyue was playing with Lu Nanfeng in the courtyard.
"Brother-in-law, awesome!"
Meng Mingyue clapped her hands on the side.
Lu Nanfeng stood sideways, threw it casually, and a long arrow fell into the pot.
Meng Mingyue's big eyes were shining, and she couldn't worship it.
"It's not hot either, why do you sweat so much?"
Meng Zhiyi stepped forward and wiped Meng Mingyue's forehead with a handkerchief.
Lu Nanfeng glanced at Meng Zhiyi's worried eyebrows and continued: "She is frail, and it is normal for her to sweat. ”
"I wonder how long I need to drink this medicine?"
"When the mud alley is fine, Chen Pojiao will come and take a look."
After Lu Nanfeng finished speaking, he went to get a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and Meng Zhiyi led Meng Mingyue into the house.
The winter solstice quickly brought meals on the table.
"What are you laughing at?"
Meng Zhiyi wiped Meng Mingyue's hands, only to find that this little guy had big eyes and seemed to be very happy.
She replied, "I will also find a husband who is as powerful as my brother-in-law in the future." ”
