Chapter 199
With Min Xing's protection, their trip really went a lot smoother.

There are still a lot of assassins who should be hunted down, but Min Xun is highly skilled in martial arts, and the people he brings are also well-trained, and they are all good players who have been on the battlefield, so it is not a smooth sailing for them to clear obstacles along the way.

Because of what happened in front of her, Xie and Yong didn't dare to drag her out. In case of another accident, her body couldn't take it anymore, so they hurried on the road day and night, striving for the fastest speed. Going to the capital, Chi Xiao Kui.

A few days ago, the Zhang family finally arrived in the capital.

Originally, all the officials in the capital were assigned housing, but the Zhang family was really crowded, and although Zhang Chengjing was transferred to the capital, he was only promoted by one level, so he would definitely not be able to squeeze in.

Along the way, the Zhang family spent a lot of money. In addition to those who lived in the inn, the people next to them had to live in other stores, which was not a minority.So after entering Beijing, Zhang Chengjing sent someone to look at the house immediately. After deciding on a place, he immediately bought it and moved in.Some can be saved, after all, the price of the capital is very high, and the hotel rooms are also expensive.

I have to say that the Zhang family is really short of money.

Early in the morning, Zhang Chengjing overheard his son-in-law Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Meng talking about how much silver taels had been spent along the way. Now, he has to repair the house and yard, and he has to entertain guests to settle down. The little money there is almost unable to support the family's expenses.

After hearing the words, Mrs. Meng took 5000 taels from his own warehouse.

But Zhang Chengjing knew that even the big house was so poor, and Mrs. Meng was in charge of this big family, and she was afraid that her money would be tight.It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the Meng family has been in charge of the family's big and small affairs these years, but she is not very beautiful.She actually knew that he just didn't want to say it to trouble her.This is how he silently took care of everything and took good care of the Zhang family.
After returning, Zhang Chengjing took 3 taels from his own warehouse and asked someone to hand it over to the Meng family.

Uncle Qiu took the box and entered the door, and saw Mrs. Meng leaning on the soft couch with her eyes closed, Su He hammered her shoulders for Mrs. Meng, and Gui Zhi was reading the account book sent by Mrs. Zheng for him.He entered the door and beckoned, and the two of them put their things and left.

The two of them grew up in front of the Meng family. They are the children of Meng's other dowry uncle, Uncle He.It's a pity that the man has been in poor health a few years ago, and now Uncle Qiu is left by Meng's side.

In order to take care of these children, he was promoted to serve, which is also considered the relationship between Uncle He and the old lady.

Meng Shi opened his eyes and looked at Uncle Qiu, "What's the matter?"

"Zhang Jinsong next to the old lady came over and brought this."

Uncle Qiu handed over the box, and Mrs Meng waved his hand and motioned him to open it.

"It's a silver note." Uncle Qiu was a little surprised when he saw it.

Mrs. Meng nodded, "Well. It's almost time to deliver. It seems that during the day, Mrs. Zheng told me that the old lady listened to it."

Uncle Qiu frowned, groaning, but he stopped talking.

"You've been by my side for so many years, and you don't hesitate. If there is anything to say, how can I blame you?"

Seeing him like this, Meng Shi directly asked him what to say.He's been with him for so long, and naturally he still has such dignity, so what can he be afraid of.

Uncle Qiu smiled relievedly and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of the old lady, the old lady still loves the old slave, and the old slave understands this. It's just that the old slave is afraid of saying something, and the old lady will be unhappy when he hears it. , I am afraid that it will hurt your body, that is really a big sin, even if you are reluctant to be punished, the old slave himself will not be able to forgive himself."

"You're used to coaxing me, hurry up. Take it slow." Meng Shi was still moved when he saw that he was so entangled for himself.After all, they have been old partners for decades, and it is natural for them to have deep feelings.

Uncle Qiu didn't hesitate any longer, and said bluntly, "The old slave thinks that there seems to be something wrong with Mr. Zheng!"

"Ms. Zheng? Hmph, I still pretend I don't know. Mrs. Zheng's brother-in-law came to the house a while ago and said that he wanted to use his relationship to move his official position, so he asked him to take 3000 taels. But he didn't want to rush our Zhang family to get it." When Enci came to Beijing, he would not be able to turn over money for a while, so he begged me to come."

"The old lady of the Zheng family used to have a higher official position than the old lady of our family, but she has not achieved much for so long, and she is tepid in her position. The children and grandchildren in the family have nothing to do with it. Zheng Lanqin's son who is married to an outsider seeks benefits, what can he do?"

Meng Shi snorted coldly and continued, "It's a good excuse for him to find a good excuse, but no, I asked the old lady to be sympathetic to me and send me money."

"After so many years, he still has the Zheng family in his heart. How many times I see Yu'er's face and I don't bother to talk about him! It's really a big problem, and it's hard for the children to handle. Otherwise, it's a peasant family in the village. , I wouldn't want a son-in-law who just eats inside and out!"

When Uncle Qiu listened to him, he knew that he knew what he had in mind, so he naturally stopped talking, so he simply exaggerated Zhang Zeyu to make him feel relieved, "Ms. You are very distressed, old lady. The old slave heard that this year, the old lady is preparing to call Miss Zeyu off! Miss Zeyu is studying hard, and she will be on the list soon. When the time comes, I will keep it for you to enjoy the happiness, and I will give you a seal in Japan. That's the beauty of your official life!"

Sure enough, speaking of her good granddaughter, Mrs. Meng is naturally relieved, "Zeyu is good at reading, but this chance is still worse than that of Ning'er. The old lady has been talking about it for a while now, now, Ning'er is The most promising one among the juniors of our family, if it is a granddaughter, why the Zhang family has no way to honor their ancestors. It is said that Ning'er was naughty earlier, look, who can have such a fortune as Ning'er?"

Seeing him smiling, Uncle Qiu naturally picked up something nice and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Miss Biao and you are closer than Miss Zeyu, your granddaughter. The two on the left and right are your granddaughters. Whoever is more capable in the future can honor you, you are the most blessed person!"

"You old man, the older you get, the more you have learned the kung fu of slapping horses!" Meng shi scolded with a smile.He didn't like the compliments and flattery of others, but in the end people were still willing to listen and be obedient. Uncle Qiu knew him well, so he naturally knew how to make him feel comfortable.

"Oh, you have wronged the old slave. The old slave has always been outspoken, but this blessing is real. To be honest, it sounds like he was coaxing you to come."

Meng Shi laughed so hard that he could not close his mouth, and after a while he sighed with emotion, "After all, Hua Yin is the most fortunate, and that child will listen to me the most."

"Isn't it! Miss Biao sticks to your grandfather every day. You said, are you a reincarnation of a lucky star?" Uncle Qiu knew that he was thinking of Zhang Mingyin, so he quickly changed the subject to avoid his sadness.

Meng Shi threw him a veil, "You're poor!"
