However, today's Xuanyi is still quite clever and does not easily question Meng Zhiyi's decision.

He quickly arranged for someone to go to the field to check on him personally, but he couldn't leave himself, because his current responsibility was to take care of the little master.

The winter solstice also came to say: "Big lady, everything in the yard has been counted, and there is nothing else lost. This time, it was the prince who killed the chicken and set an example for the monkey, and I think no one will be unclean in the future."

"How did he make an example of the monkey?"

「…… Listening to others, it seems that those hands have been chopped off. Bloody." Winter Solstice still has palpitations when he talks about this.

She always felt that the prince was gentle and gentle, but she didn't expect to be so ruthless.

Although Meng Zhiyi was a little surprised, this way of dealing with it was a little too ruthless, but he didn't say anything.

After all, it's not a small family now, and when something like this happened just after entering the house, there must be someone who wants to bear the brunt of it and follow suit.

"Where is that painting now?"

Winter Solstice: "Put it back where it was."

Meng Zhiyi didn't care about this matter, "When you are fine, drink more wine with those mothers-in-law and give them some small things, you don't have to stare at them so hard."

The winter solstice is also a recent understanding of this truth.

Because she came with her own girl, there were a lot of little maids in the garden, and those mothers-in-law wanted to come and talk to her. She also discovered that those people could say things that she didn't usually notice when she said anything.

"Yes, I know, big lady." Winter Solstice is also responsible now, and he didn't say that he has been staying by Meng Zhiyi's side like before.

Meng Zhiyi is still very satisfied with her growth.

At noon on the second day, the men who had gone out to inspect the fields also returned.

The man reported to Meng Zhiyi what he knew through the screen.

"I don't know if I don't know, the fields are quite fertile, but the amount of grain reported each year is completely inconsistent with the actual amount produced. The tenants are even more miserable, and not only have no food of their own, but they have not even money."

Meng Zhiyi said, "But it's because those stewards have swallowed it privately."

"Exactly." The guard went out for a run, and he was also very surprised by the news he received, but he didn't expect those people to be so bold and dare to deceive their superiors and subordinates.

The guards had brought back the ledgers written by the stewards, and there was also a book of messages he had received.

The two notebooks were put in front of Meng Zhiyi, although the news he collected was not as detailed as the account books in the stewardship, but a casual pair could understand it.

That's a huge difference.

Meng Zhiyi has also heard a lot about such things. Under the influence of ears and lips, she also knows how to deal with it.

Meng Zhiyi: "Let's go and inquire about who the backers of those stewards are. Don't act rashly just yet. You should also visit the tenants and see how many are willing to come out and point out the stewards. If they can give enough evidence, give them money."

"Yes." The guards walked out.

Meng Zhiyi flipped through those account books again, it was really a confused account, no wonder Lu Nanfeng didn't have a few pieces of silver in his hand.

It is estimated that it is not enough for those who are in charge of private affairs.

Meng Zhiyi moved Lu Nanfeng's box over, which was full of his money and some land deeds, although it was not much, but looking at Lu Nanfeng's appearance, he didn't care about it, so she still had to tap it.

Meng Zhiyi called Xuanyi again, "These land deeds, as well as shops, you also ask people to check the situation, ask the steward to inquire, and come back to tell me."

Xuanyi was silent for a while, and then responded, "Yes."

Meng Zhiyi glanced at him and didn't say anything.

On the second day, Meng Zhiyi got up early to say hello to Lu Nanfeng, and then took Xiao Aqi back to Meng's mansion.

Received the elimination

Xie's Xie and Meng Xing, as well as Meng Kun, were all waiting at the door.

"It's cold outside, what are you doing here?" Meng Zhiyi said.

Xie didn't notice Meng Zhiyi at all, probably didn't listen to Meng Zhiyi, opened the carriage curtain, and took Xiao Aci away.

Meng Xing and Meng Kun were also on the left and right, both looking at Xiao Aci in Xie's arms.

Meng Zhiyi: "......." smiled back.

Winter Solstice snickered, "Now the eldest lady is not favored in front of Madame."

By the time Meng Zhizhi came down, the people outside the Meng Mansion had already entered.

Although this kind of thing is not once or twice, Meng Zhiyi still feels speechless.

Her position is in jeopardy.

Xie touched Xiao Aci's face, and then touched his little hand, "Why do I see that this little guy is thin?"

Meng Xing: "I also look a little thinner, is it that I eat less over there and don't fit in?"

Meng Kun: "This little guy has changed, look at this big eye, look at how clever he is."

The three of you said a word, and quickly went back to the house, for fear that Xiao Aci would freeze.

After Meng Zhiyi followed up, before he could say a word, he heard Xie's questioning voice, "What has Xiao Ah Ci eaten recently? Is it because the rice cereal made by your chef is not delicious?" Z.br>

"No, I'm pretty good at eating."

It was fed by Lu Nanfeng several times, and this little guy ate quickly.

"That must be the kitchen can't do it, we don't have the right appetite here." Xie said.

"A rice cereal, what can be delicious or not, if it is bigger, it will be good to eat vegetables." Meng Zhiyi didn't think this little guy was thin.

"Look, I'll just say you don't have children, you're still a child! Those mothers too, don't you know what to talk about in the kitchen? How to cook this rice cereal, it tastes so different!"

Looking at Xie's posture, he wanted to arrange the kitchen of Chengyi Garden and study this rice cereal.

"Okay, just tell me, I'll ask when I go back." Now that she knows, she will definitely be concerned about this matter.

Xie didn't believe in Meng Zhiyi very much, and was always worried that her eldest grandson would be starved and thin.

Meng Zhiyi came back this time with serious business, "Dad, let's go to the study and talk."

Meng Xing: "What's the matter with you?"

Meng Zhiyi: "........" This tone is completely because he feels that he is disturbing him to watch Xiao Aci.

Xie said, "If you want to go, you can go, what are you doing here, you will block my eldest grandson from seeing it."

Meng Zhiyi: Outrageous.

Meng Xing was a little helpless, but he still took Meng Zhiyi to the study.

"I don't have anyone available at the Garden, and I need a few reliable guards."

"Since we came to Kyoto, we have fewer guards in our yard. But I'm going to call Escort Zheng to come and hire you a few reliable ones."

Escort Zheng came over soon.

"If you know, I can recommend it to Mrs. Shizi, and when the time comes, you will stay when you see what you need." Zheng Huwei agreed, and then said, "Zhang Yin will come back from Jiangnan City soon, so it's better for you to bring him over."

"Okay, I think so too, when the time comes, just let him pull the things he brought from Jiangnan City directly to Chengyi Garden."

There are a lot of things in Jiangnan City, and the previous people didn't take much after a trip, and Zhang Huwei transported a lot of them, so the trip was much slower.

But it's only been these two days.

Escort Zheng got the order and went out to contact him.

Meng Xing asked, "Recently, there have been many rumors outside, has Mrs. Lu bullied you?"

"She can't bully me, Lu Nanfeng also made it clear that he doesn't have to care too much about her."

Meng Xing: "It seems that my uncle's family is not doing well, but that kind of relationship is normal. By the way, Meng Lang plans to take the college examination in March and the autumn examination in the same year."

"In such a hurry?" Meng Zhiyi furrowed his eyebrows, "What kind of learning is he."

？」

"It's a lot of hard work. You know, I heard that it was because of Liu Yun, I met Liu Yun a few days ago."

Meng Zhiyi: "How is she now?"

"It seems that I just embroider my own veils, and sometimes dig up herbs to sell."

is a self-reliant person, she and Meng Lang did not reconcile, but she didn't come to join the Meng family, it seems that she really doesn't want to have anything to do with Meng Lang anymore.

But now that the Liu family is gone, and no one is embarrassed for her, if Meng Lang can correct it, the two of them can still rebuild the old one.

Meng Zhiyi nodded, "If Meng Lang can do well, the two of them should have a chance."

"Meng Lang's character, I'm afraid that if he is admitted, he won't be able to play with others when he enters the officialdom."

Meng Zhiyi doesn't want to worry about these things now, he is such a big person, and he has to think clearly about the path he chooses, "Since you want to take the college exam, just look at the results."

Meng Zhiyi stood up, "I'll go see the little guy."

Saying this, Meng Xing also hurriedly stood up.

Meng Zhiyi smiled and said, "Dad, don't you have to go to the Weaving Pavilion now?"

Meng Xing said: "Oh, there are only five shops in Kyoto, and you don't have to worry about other small stores, and there are three stewards watching the Weaving Pavilion, so I don't have to go every day."

After speaking, he explained, "Now that I'm older, I'll spend more time with your mother at home, and I'll be fine every month."

This is okay, anyway, the money can't be earned, and the family business they accumulated before is enough to spend a few lifetimes.

Lu Nanfeng also came directly to Mengfu at noon.

"Could it be that the house didn't cook for you?" Meng Zhiyi asked.

Lu Nanfeng was serious, "Madame is suddenly coming back to her parents' house, if I don't come with me, I'm afraid that I'm going to quarrel with Madame outside."

What a crooked truth!

Can't go back to your parents' house without quarreling?

Meng Xing said, "Since my uncle is here, do you want to drink some wine at noon?"

Meng Zhiyi hurriedly said, "He still has to go to duty in the afternoon, and he can't drink."

Lu Nanfeng actually wanted to say that it didn't hurt to drink a little. The old man has spoken, how can he refuse?

Meng Xing said understandingly: "That's not to drink, otherwise Zhiyi won't go back in the afternoon, and if you stay for dinner in the evening, you can also drink two glasses with me."
