It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 518

"Well, it's the shop on the second floor... Didn't it mean that it will expire in March next year? I went to see it today and found that their business was too bad, so I made an agreement with the shopkeeper to take back the shop in advance without charging liquidated damages. Give him back the remaining three months' rent, provided he moves out within two days."

Su Rui took another piece of rice paper as she spoke, and started to draw again.

Seeing this, Meng Mingzhou stepped forward and took the brush from Su Rui's hand, "Stop drawing, it's getting dark, and the brothers and sisters in the front yard are waiting for dinner."

Su Rui looked out of the window and was surprised, "Ah, it's getting dark so soon, so let's eat first, and I'll draw after dinner."

Meng Mingzhou frowned, "After dinner, I'll help you draw."

Surprised, Su Rui paused when she got up, "You know how to draw?"

Meng Mingzhou slightly raised his eyebrows, his lips curled up, "Don't believe your husband?"

Su Rui quickly waved her hands and said with a smile, "Hehe, how could it be? I will definitely believe you."

Meng Mingzhou knew that Su Rui didn't believe it, but he didn't mind, he just said lightly, "I'll let you see your husband's ability tonight..."

Su Rui, "...OK."

After dinner, Meng Mingzhou took Su Rui to the study room, facing the blueprint she had drawn, listening to her description, revised and revised it, and soon drew a picture that was several times better than what Su Rui drew. drawing.

Su Rui took the drawn drawings and looked at Meng Mingzhou in surprise, "You, you, how can you still draw drawings?"

Meng Mingzhou stretched his waist, and said casually, "When I was young, I liked to draw all kinds of buildings. Grandpa saw that I liked it, and even hired me a job, and asked my familiar uncle to teach me."

Meng Mingzhou looked a little lonely after he finished speaking. At that time, his grandfather loved him very much. He was willing to find someone to teach him what he liked to learn since he was a child. It is not like other aristocratic families who insist that their children and grandchildren study hard every day...

Su Rui didn't notice Meng Mingzhou's loneliness, she looked at the revised drawings with bright eyes, and she was full of praise, "It's great, it's really great, the opening of our hot pot shop will definitely hit the whole city. "

"Well, it will definitely work."

Meng Mingzhou looked at Su Rui who was full of energy. The loneliness in his heart was gone, and only a sense of happiness remained. He believed that the future between him and Su Rui must be bright.

The next day, Su Rui handed over the blueprint to Steward Wang, "Calculate how much money you will need, and then come and ask Mama Liu to pay the money."

After a pause, he continued, "Remember, you must use good wood, good bricks and tiles, including the red paint inside, no matter what it is, remember to use good quality."

Steward Wang glanced at the drawings of other things and asked, "I remember it, but I just don't understand. This table and chairs are only ordered for [-] sets, why are there [-] sets of copper pots?"

Su Rui explained, "There are only [-] sets of tables and chairs because there can only be [-] sets of tables and chairs, and the copper pot is because we have to consider that some people may want to eat two flavors of hot pot at one time? Or three? Four what kind?"

Steward Wang suddenly realized, "Then, are those sixty sets of copper pots missing?"

Su Rui hooked her lips and smiled, "I will definitely need to buy more in the future, but let's start with these for now. It is estimated that the copper shop will be busy for a long time just for these."

Mr. Liu, the prefect, and Mr. Feng, the same prefect, were discussing the prevention of snow disasters in winter in the government office. After listening to the report of the gatekeeper, they suspected that they had heard it wrong.

"What did you say? General Meng visited the government office? Is it already at the door?"

The Yacha lowered his head and replied, "Yes, General Meng is waiting at the door now, Master Liu, Master Feng, what should we do?"

Master Liu and Master Feng looked at each other, thinking that it was a blessing or a disaster, and that the disaster could not be avoided, so they said, "Then invite General Meng to come in."

Master Feng thought silently in his heart, what did General Meng mean when he came here?Could it be that he was angry because his youngest son went to his house for dinner?But it shouldn't be, if you are angry because of this matter, why did you give the younger son a gift, and why didn't you come yesterday?
Mr. Liu didn't know what Mr. Feng was thinking, nor did he know that Meng Mingzhou came because his wife and daughter came to bully General Meng's wife. Yes, Mrs. Sun and Liu Jiayu went home and did not tell Mr. Liu that they went to Meng's mansion to find trouble. .

Master Feng and Master Liu saw the young man who had already stepped in, and found that his face was extremely handsome.

"General Meng."

"General Meng."

Meng Mingzhou took a look at the faces of the two of them, and clasped his fists at his fellow acquaintance Master Feng accurately, "Master Feng."

Then he turned to Zhizhou Master Liu and clasped his fists, "Master Liu."

Master Feng was surprised, how could General Meng tell which of them is the prefect and who is the same prefect?And he greeted him first...Although he and Mr. Liu are both fifth-rank officials, in fact, Mr. Liu is a bit older than him in terms of real power, so usually the officials who come to visit greet Mr. Liu first.

Master Liu's eyes twitched. He felt that the general Meng in front of him was not treating him very well. When he sat down, he asked, "General Meng, why are you here to know the government office at this time? Is there any reason?" What do we need the cooperation of the prefectural government?"

Meng Mingzhou took the tea brought by the boy, took a sip, and frowned. This tea, uh, has a musty smell, but it's not as good as the tea from Pingyang County. My lord, and my lord Feng.

"There is nothing that requires the cooperation of the government. It's not that I have been in office for a month. I want to come to visit and get familiar with it."

"My lords, can I?"

Master Feng opened his eyes wide, visiting?seriously?Are you kidding me?

Master Liu saw that General Meng took a sip of the tea from the government office and then put it down. He disliked the tea from the government office. He was also shocked when he heard General Meng say that he wanted to visit.

He hesitated and asked, "General Meng, are you joking with me?"

Meng Mingzhou relaxed his body, leaned back slightly, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a half-smile expression, "This general never jokes."

Mr. Lu County is not present, if he was there, he would definitely scold him, but you, General Meng, like to joke the most...
"..."

Lord Feng, Lord Liu, for the first time, thought tacitly in their hearts, how could there be a general who guards the city to visit the magistrate's office?
Mr. Liu complained in his heart, and laughed dryly, "Ah, come on, come on? Good to go, hehe, good to go."

Master Feng cooperated, "Yes, it's good to drop by occasionally."

Meng Mingzhou smiled, "It's good that the two adults agree."

"Agree."

"Yes, I agree."

Master Feng and Master Liu once again thought tacitly in their hearts, if they don't agree, why don't you come?
Meng Mingzhou hooked the corners of his lips in satisfaction, "In the future, let's walk around each other more, visit each other more, and resolve any conflicts on the spot. Even if it can't be resolved, don't come to insult people. We can communicate a few more times. Are you right? ?”

"what?"

Master Liu looked at a loss, what contradiction?What insult?Who are you insulting?
Meng Mingzhou played with the tea bowl on the coffee table, "Master Liu, it's better not to come to humiliate the other party's wife. Master Liu, do you think the general is right?"

Master Feng's eyes widened, ah, he remembered, his youngest son went to eat hot pot that day, and when he came back, he casually mentioned that he met the carriage of Liu's family coming out of General Meng's mansion at the gate of the courtyard.
