The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 179
Meng Zhaojun didn't struggle for long, and asked the housekeeper to take the carriage with them to the Ye family's manor. This time, he just took a look at his own manor, and the main purpose was to follow Tang Shunyan.

The arrival of the Meng family made it even more lively. With their arrival, Mrs. Li, as the host, would not not arrange for guests to eat like last time.

So he asked his younger brother to arrange for people to catch chickens, ducks, and geese, and prepare a series of dishes. Ye Jia was going to entertain guests today.

Entertaining guests is not entertaining in the manor. The younger brother of Li Shi, who is in charge of the manor, uses people to kill chickens, ducks and geese, then picks melons and fruits, sends these vegetables to Ye's family, and uses Ye's cooks to hold a big banquet for lunch guest.

The cook of the Ye family led a group of maids and women, and they were very busy. When the Tang family arrived, they already knew that the noon banquet would be a big one.

The melons, fruits and vegetables sent by the manor were busy preparing for lunch.

Lai was sitting bored in the corridor at home. Her obese body was more afraid of heat because of the enjoyment of the past few years. She fanned herself with a fan, and she looked more like a landlady than a landlady.

Ye Shuzhen was embroidering her dowry in her boudoir to be married, her embroidery skills were not very good, she had to embroider her wedding dress by herself.

In fact, it is also possible to entrust others to make the wedding dress, but the underwear, as well as the husband's underwear, must be made by her, the newlywed.

For example, shoes and the like, all have to be made by herself, she is very busy, she likes this husband very much, and her usual laziness becomes diligent when she meets this husband she likes.

This time she knew why the elder sister liked her elder brother-in-law so much, made clothes and shoes for him, and how she loved her when she got married.

Only the second sister was reluctant, and she also guessed that it was because her family had already started to make a fortune.

You can be a rich lady, but you are faced with getting married, and the one you are marrying is still a merchant. This kind of mood is only temporary. You have already married, and you have to work hard with your husband to make money.

On the other side of the Ye Family Manor, seeing the arrival of Meng brothers and sisters, they joined Tang Shunyan and his group.

When I saw Tang Shunyan and Mrs. Tang, they were just sitting in the manor house eating fruit, drinking tea and having snacks, waiting for those who went up the mountain to pick longan fruit to return.

There are pineapple soaked in salt water on the table, as well as freshly picked longan fruit and passion fruit.

Mrs. Li entertained their two brothers and sisters, eating fruits, drinking tea, and snacks. These dim sum buns were made by their chef.

When Grandma Tang saw the Meng brothers and sisters, she greeted them warmly and asked them why the mother didn't come?

"My mother said that the weather is too hot, let us two brothers and sisters come and watch the development of the manor." Meng Zhaojun did not foolishly tell the story of the Tang family coming here and they followed him, using his manor as the reason.

"Hehe, Mrs. Meng is afraid of getting sunburned, and Mrs. Ben doesn't want to come. It's just that the naughty guy in my family insists on coming, so I can only come as he wants."

Meng Zhaojun understood Young Mistress Tang's thoughts, but he didn't point it out. He asked Liangchen, a maid beside her, to take out the silver, and arranged for guards to pick the fruits.

"It's good for Tang Shunyan to come here to experience it. Well, this is the money for us to pick the fruit. I'm going to let the workers pick the fruit."

Mrs. Li looked at the five taels of silver in front of her, and was a little afraid to accept it. Although the fruits they sold were expensive, when the guests came, giving them some fruits or giving them to eat was also the way to attract them.

"Take it! The extra money is for you."

Meng Ruixiang seemed to understand the thoughts of the proprietress of the manor in front of him. She was sincere and felt sorry for overcharging them. This amount of money was nothing to their younger sister. His brother knew it, and this younger sister had already learned how to make money.

After Meng Ruixiang had spoken, Mrs. Li could only do a salute and accepted the money. Today, he had to entertain guests again. Chickens, ducks and geese were not worth much, but they had to be raised by others, so it was necessary to charge some labor costs. of.

Meng Zhaojun said what her brother said, but she didn't say anything, and picked up the fruit on the table to taste.

Ye Shiqi observes that Meng Ruixiang has a warm and masculine temperament, and has the same good personality as Tang Shunyan.

No one would look down on their sisters and members of their family just because their family was powerful and rich.

Maybe only the girl who is eating fruit in front of her eyes still hides hostility. Ye Shiqi and her sisters are sitting on the other side. They occasionally eat some fruit, and when customers ask questions, they will reply a few words, and most of them are silent. .

When the Meng brothers and sisters came, Mrs. Tang felt that it was not so boring. She was looking for topics to chat with her son and Meng Jia brothers and sisters.

"Miss Meng, are you going to plant anything in your manor? Except for rice, the mountain has not moved."

When Meng Zhaojun asked Mrs. Tang, so many eyes looked at her curiously, but he didn't want to tell others about their family.

Whether their family will go to Beijing or stay in the county is not something they can decide on the assessment. All things have to wait for the people above to arrange.

"I don't know, my mother said, wait until the New Year is over..."

"Oh, that's right. If you go to get those mountains now, they will be covered with grass in half a year. It should be done next year..."

Grandma Tang got some news. It was said that their father was in his third year this year and was expected to go to Beijing. This was why she was more polite to the Meng brothers and sisters.

It is even more important to prevent her son from getting close to the sisters of the Ye family. Her son is a dragon and a phoenix among men, and when he grows up, he wants to match a phoenix. How could he get involved with some peasant girls?
This is something she absolutely cannot allow, and she had to plan for her son when he was young.

Grandma Tang Shang didn't care about her own estate. Like their family, a small estate would not pay attention even if it made money.

It's not her private property, it's just a property invested by the family. When I came here just now, I looked at the window of the carriage, and the steward gave them the direction of their own manor.

Those farmlands, like other farmlands, also grow rice. The mountains have not been developed yet, so he wondered, what is the goal of investing so much trouble here?
Mrs. Tang began to gossip again. She heard that the farmland here is not very easy to sell, but it is more expensive than other farmlands. It is because the Ye family's manor is next door, and the Meng family's investment is only to grow rice, which is a bit overkill.

"Is your family's manor only growing rice? Will you grow vegetables next year?"

"My mother said, everything will be discussed next year..."

During Miss Tang's questioning, Meng Zhaojun said that her mother was in charge of everything.

This is why my mother protects her in this way, and she also understands that a girl who is only five or six years old, even if she is very smart, cannot behave too much in front of adults.

Looking at this young lady Tang, she had some opinions on her before, maybe because she thought she was too strong. In front of this future mother-in-law, she chose to restrain herself.

"Mrs. Tang, if you have anything to ask my mother, my sister doesn't know. Just passing by the entrance of the village, it seems that your field is also planted with rice. The mountain has not been developed yet?"

For some reason, Meng Ruixiang felt sensitively that Mrs. Tang had a purpose in asking her sister.
