Chapter 119: The family of three I saw that day
"You don't need to say anything." Liang tweeted to Meng Changqing, "Your mother has already instructed Xiao Dai." ”
"Mother is thoughtful and thinks before me in every way."
Meng Changqing told Wen what happened in the barracks today.
At the end, Meng Changqing asked uneasily: "Is there anything strange about my appearance?" Or do I look like some old man? ”
"If that person's biological mother is from Daliang, it can only be from Dazhou or Liangzhou." Liang tweeted: "Your father is from the capital, and I am also from the surrounding of the capital, how can you look like the people here?" ”
"It's impossible to say what is going on in the world, and there are unrelated people who look very similar." "But no one I know looks like you." ”
"He looks at you, maybe not at your looks." Liang chirped, "There may be other reasons." ”
"If this person dies, you don't need to investigate the reason, but if the court decides to use him, he will inevitably have some contact with the people in the court." "The reason for this is best to figure out. ”
"But since you asked, the man didn't say it, presumably because the scene at that time was inconvenient to answer." Wen Shi took the chopsticks and thought for a moment, then stretched his brows, "That's it, if you can't think of anything that can't bear the result, you can only let it go for the time being." Wen comforted Meng Changqing, "If the reason will affect you, then you will know sooner or later, if it doesn't have much impact, it doesn't matter if you know it or not." ”
"Hmm."
Meng Changqing probably listened to Wen's comfort, or he was too hungry, so he ate a lot of lunch, a few large pots of vegetables on the table, and finally only some soup and water remained.
While Meng Changqing was sitting and eating, Wen talked about things, "There is a law in this dynasty, officials and their families cannot do business, although there are few court officials who abide by this law, but we have no foundation, everything needs to be safe, before the business in the capital our family has taken off our hands, and with more money, only let you change a few granges that can make money on behalf of your uncle."
The grocery store you opened under your own rule had better get rid of it as soon as possible. ”
"I know, there's no way around it now." Meng Changqing explained the reason, "It's not that I want to make money from the people, it's just that the road from Beishan County to other counties is too dangerous, and ordinary people have neither the ability nor the courage."
Besides, even the children in the county who have just left have gone to the fields to help, which people have time to take over this business? ”
"Of course I know your kindness and embarrassment." Wen said, "But once the Imperial Historian wants to target you in the future, where will he care about this? ”
Meng Changqing hiccuped, "What my mother said is that now that most of the grain in the field has been harvested, it is time for the people who can pick up the grocery store to prepare early." ”
In the afternoon, Xiao Dai came back with two wagons of goods.
Meng Changqing was about to step forward to talk to him, but found that his face was very bad, "Brother Dai, what's wrong?" ”
"I almost got robbed." Xiao Dai said, "We encountered a trap when we passed through the dangerous mountain, and the wheels got stuck in it and almost didn't come out, but fortunately, two of the people we brought over had great strength, and they dismounted and fought to the death, so that the carriage was rescued when they were about to kill in front of them." ”
"Are you alright? Are there any injuries? Meng Changqing asked.
"The people are fine, the groceries are fine, it's just scared." Xiao Dai took two deep breaths in a row, "I still feel scared." ”
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay, young master, I'll take the things to the grocery store first."
"Wait, Brother Dai, from today onwards, you will let out the rumors, saying that this grocery store is going to be sold out, and see who is willing to take over."
"Plate out?" Xiao Dai couldn't understand, "Young Master, to be honest, we didn't rush to make money when we did this business, who in Beishan County is willing to be a big boss and make such a deal?" ”
"After someone took over, it wasn't necessarily what we did before."
"Well, even if someone takes over, they won't be able to go elsewhere to buy the goods." Xiao Dai was worried, "Is it because I said that I was almost robbed today, that you have such thoughts?" ”
"Not really." Meng Changqing said, "Coincidentally, I decided this matter before you came back, as for the purchase, the yamen can lend him someone at that time, and he will pay a certain commission." ”
Xiao Dai pondered for a while, and in the future, he would buy an oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in Beishan County, how expensive it would be.
Bafang went out for four days, and finally returned to Yamen on the morning of the fifth day.
He saw Meng Changqing standing at the gate of the county government from a distance, and immediately drove his horse to run quickly, and the dust raised by the horse's hooves made Meng Changqing confused.
"Young Master!" Bafang got down from his horse, puffed up his chest and replied to Meng Changqing, "The food owed by the two governments has been paid off. ”
Meng Changqing stretched out his hand to sweep away the dust in front of him, "Can you have a safe journey?" ”
"Have a safe journey." Bafang had to say more, and Yang Zheng, who had just arrived in front of the yamen, immediately answered: "Not long after we arrived in Yangmen County, Lord Mao of Yangmen County sent his servants to give us a ride, and when we arrived in Liangzhou Mansion, there was Li Zhutou to see us off.
We delivered food to a large number of people, and we didn't dare to have any small trouble. ”
"Thank you so much, two adults." Meng Changqing asked Bafang for this, after all, Bafang was going to do this on behalf of Meng Changqing, and he was the person in charge of this trip.
"Of course, thank you, thank you."
"Very well, you guys are tired all the way, go and rest."
"I'm not tired." Bafang led the horse and stood in front of Meng Changqing, "We rested in Liangzhou Mansion for one night. ”
Yang Zheng stepped forward to take the reins in Bafang's hand, and Bafang had already handed it out, but when his hand was halfway out, he found that the other party was Yang Zheng, and he immediately apologized, "How bothering Captain Yang, I'll take it back myself."
This is the young master's horse, and it has been running with me for the past few days, and I have to clean it up. ”
He only said a few words to Yang Zheng, but he didn't think about it when he turned around and found that his young master had walked far away, and the direction he went in should be a grocery store in Beishi. He hurriedly packed up his horse, poured fodder on it, and immediately chased it to the North City.
When he arrived, he heard the voice of his young master talking inside.
"Is there a happy event to do when you buy so many things?"
"Sort of." The expressions on Sha Zhu's face were very complicated, most of them were happy, but under the happiness was regret that was difficult to hide.
Xiao Dai followed up and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Bafang walked in at this time, and seeing that they were all talking, he quietly moved to stand next to Meng Changqing.
"I'm going to ...... Married. ”
"That's a happy event." Meng Changqing said, "With whom?" ”
"You should know it, it's the acacia flower of our group."
"Oh!" Meng Changqing remembered this, "When I first arrived in Liangzhou, I saw you kneeling with a child outside the city gate, and you were a family of three, and now you have really become a family." ”
The corners of Sha Zhu's mouth flashed with a wry smile, "It's just a partner to live." ”
