Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 139
Seeing Sun Meng return to the mountain, Li Jing and Yuan Keli looked at each other and nodded slightly to each other.

"Hahaha, congratulations, congratulations!" Li Jing laughed as he welcomed Sun Meng into his new home.

Sun Meng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother, you are making fun of Lao Sun again. You don't know how much Lao Sun weighs? You're driving ducks to the shelves again."

Li Jing shook his head with a smile and said: "This is not to rush the ducks to the shelves. This position is very important to us. It will be of great benefit to us if you sit firmly."

Sun Meng nodded and said: "My old grandson came back to the mountain this time to ask for advice, brother, what do you want old grandson to do?"

Li Jing looked at Sun Meng and said with a smile, "It's not busy, you should go home and see Mrs. Sister-in-law first."

Sun Meng was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Li Jing suspiciously, and then at Yuan Keli.

He is very clear about Li Jing's style of doing things. Generally speaking, after a few words of politeness, he will start talking about serious business, especially after Li Jing spent all his efforts to get him to the position of commander of the guards, there must be a lot of things to explain, but now unexpectedly Let him go home first?
Although Li Jing and Yuan Keli were smiling, Sun Meng always felt that there seemed to be something hidden in their expressions. A flash of light flashed in Sun Meng's mind, and he suddenly realized something.

Sun Meng's new residence is only one door away from Li Jing's residence, and it is only a few steps away.

This was Sun Meng's first return home after the new house was built, and of course he knew the location a long time ago.

As soon as he entered the house, Sun Meng noticed the same thing. There were many boxes and bundles in the courtyard. Sun Meng took a quick look, and found that all of them contained common household items.

Although Sun Meng was not at home, he also knew that his family had moved to a new home a long time ago, that is to say, these boxes and packages were packed and packed only recently. At this moment, Sun Meng knew that what he was most worried about had finally happened.

Sun Meng strode towards the house, and within a few steps, he saw his wife, Mrs. Sun, running out happily and said, "Master, are you back?"

"Master? When did you change your address?" Sun Meng said coldly.

"Master, you are now a member of the third rank of the imperial court. My mother-in-law said that I will call you master in the future, and then call you the head of the family. If you are heard, you will be laughed at." Sun said with a smile.

Sun Meng sneered and said, "I guess you think so too, don't you?"

Sun Shihun didn't hear the dissatisfaction in Sun Meng's tone, she just nodded and said: "That's natural, you are now the commander of Zhangdewei, and I will be the official's wife in the future, of course you must pay attention to your identity in what you say and do in the future. "

Hearing this, Sun Meng couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately cursed: "Fart, what do you think I am! What are you! What the hell are you, a third-rank official, an official wife, can you use your brains when you speak and do things? ! Do you know how I came to be an official? Let me ask you, are you showing off in front of your sister-in-law and other brothers' families?"

Mrs. Sun didn't expect Sun Meng to get angry suddenly, she was stunned, and even forgot to answer Sun Meng's last question.

"Are you dumb? Let me ask you, did you show off my promotion in front of other brothers' families, especially in front of my sister-in-law!" Sun Meng said with a stern voice at the end.

"No, I didn't dare to show off in front of my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is the daughter of the Shen family, and she is a good friend with the Princess, so how dare I show off in front of others." Sun said in a muffled voice.

Sun Meng said angrily: "That is to show off in front of the brothers' families? I think you don't want to stay on the mountain anymore! Well, judging by the posture of your family, you don't want to stay on the mountain anymore. Where do you want to go? You want to come with me You are the wife of an official in the city, right? Listen to me, if you don’t want to kill your man, just stay on the mountain for me honestly, and take these things back to me immediately! In addition, you immediately go and talk to those brothers The family members of the family explained clearly that your man is not working as an official, but working for the head of the family!"

"But what about my mother-in-law? Actually, it wasn't my idea to move. It's my mother-in-law who wants to become an old lady in the city." Sun said urgently.

"Hmph! Old madam? If he still wants to have a son to die for her, don't think about these things that have disappeared. It's only been a few days since he started to forget his roots! Forget it, I'll talk to my mother, you hurry up Take these things back to me!" Sun Meng said angrily.

"Yes! Master!" Mrs. Sun said hurriedly.

"Fucking call me Master!" Sun Meng said angrily with his eyes wide open.

"Yes! The head of the house!" Mrs. Sun hastily changed her words.

Sun Meng pointed to the newly built house while walking and said, "Come on, take a look, this is the house built for us by elder brother. We lived in such a good house when we met elder brother after burning incense in our previous life. Look again Look at the inside and outside of our house, up and down, which one is not bought by the elder brother after we get to the mountain, you eat the elder brother's, wear the elder brother's clothes, spend the elder brother's clothes, and go mad and want to go to the city to be an official wife! Don't have the face to see big brother!"

"Boss, I was wrong!" Sun finally couldn't help crying.

"Why are you crying? Hurry up and do as I say, and go kowtow to Big Brother with me in a while to make amends!" Sun Meng said angrily.

"Yes!" Mrs. Sun wiped her eyes hastily and said.

Sun Meng walked into the house while yelling and cursing.

Sun Meng's new house has a front and hatchback layout. The main house is occupied by Sun Meng and his parents, while the wing rooms on both sides are occupied by Sun Meng's two younger brothers.

This kind of layout is a bit similar to the courtyard houses of later generations in Beijing, and it is more suitable for those who are not rich but have relatively large families to live in.

As for the rich people, they all live in garden-like houses, such as Yuan Keli's Lu Yuan, the Xu family in Lin County, and the Shen family's old house in Lin County are all garden-style houses.

However, it is impossible for Li Jing and others to build a garden-style residence in the new residence of Li Jing and others in Laohuling. This is because the land area of ​​Laohuling is limited. It was difficult to get the materials in.

And the most important thing is that Shen Zheng and others knew that Li Jing would never agree to let everyone build that kind of extravagant and wasteful garden-style residence.

Although it is not a garden-style residence, the living area of ​​several main leaders in the mountains is still very large.

As soon as Sun Meng entered the main room, he saw a girl dressed as a maid walking out.

"Who are you?" Sun Meng looked at the maid suspiciously and said.

"I'm Lu'er, the newly bought maidservant of the Sun Mansion, who are you?" the maid said with a salute.

"Sun Mansion? The newly bought maid?" Sun Meng shook his head, it seemed that the family really began to regard him as an official family.

"Where is my father and mother?" Sun Meng asked.

"You are the master?" Lu'er asked suspiciously.

Seeing Sun Meng nodding, Lu'er turned around and ran into the house, shouting as she ran, "Old man, old lady, the master is back, the master is back!"

Sun Meng sighed, followed Lu'er into the house.

When I entered the room, I saw my father and mother sitting on the chairs, and two maidservants beside them were beating their legs.

Seeing Sun Meng enter the house, Grandfather said pleasantly: "Mengzi is back? You are finally back! If you don't come back, the house will be in total chaos."

"Father! What's going on? Why are there so many maidservants in the house?" Sun Meng asked.

Grandfather sighed and said: "Oh, don't mention it, since the news of your promotion reached the mountain, your two incompetent younger brothers started to make a fuss, saying that you will be a third-rank member of the imperial court in the future, and you must have servants at home." Waiter, no, there are two more maids in my house and your mother's house, and you also have two in your own house, and your two younger brothers also bought two maids each."

Grandfather paused and continued: "That's not counting, the second and third bedrooms are still nagging in your mother's ears all day long, saying that you will be a high-ranking official in the court in the future, and the family can no longer be full of nonsense like before. And you said that you will have your own mansion in the city, and you want our family to move to the city. Your mother is so confused that she actually agreed. Listen, these people are full of lords, and the old lady is yelling. Don't have the face to go out to meet those old brothers!"

Sun Meng hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry, as long as it's not your boss's idea, the second and third bastards spend all day doing nothing but tinkering with these things, I don't think it's okay to fight! Lu'er, you Go to the door and call my guards in!"

"Yes! Master!" Lu'er hurriedly said.

Sun Meng frowned, and waved his hand to signal Lu'er to call for someone.

After a while, Lu'er brought Sun Meng's guards into the house, Sun Meng pointed at Lu'er and shouted to the guards: "Follow her, go and catch my two useless younger brothers!"

After hearing this order, several guards looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one moved for a while.

"Didn't you hear Lao Tzu's order? Hurry up and arrest him!" Sun Meng said angrily.

"Mengzi, why are you arresting your younger brother?" grandma panicked.

"Mother! Are you confused? Do you think your son's ability to become an official is based on his own ability? This official was bought for me by my elder brother! When I was asked to be a thousand households, my elder brother spent more than 5000 taels of silver. This time, the commander of the guard will cost at least tens of thousands of taels! You want to be the wives of officials now, wives of officials, have you ever thought about how your son will meet people in the future? Do you know that not only me, but even my brothers and sisters? It was all money from elder brother, you are trying to trap your son in an unjust way!" Sun Meng said urgently.

After finishing speaking, Sun Meng turned around and shouted to several guards: "What are you doing standing still! Go and arrest people! You don't need to come back to see me, drag them outside, and give me forty boards each! Beat me hard!"

Seeing that Sun Meng was really angry, the guards didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly left with Lu'er. Not long after, they heard shouts from the rooms on both sides: "Bold! Do you know who I am? How dare you?" Catch me with your hands, and tell me that big brother ripped off your skin!"

Sun Meng was even angrier when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "You bastard! I'll skin you right now! Pull me to the death!"

As soon as Sun Meng finished speaking, he heard two women crying: "Brother, we made a mistake, please forgive us for the sake of your father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

"Shut up! You two are not good guys. If it weren't for you, my mother would have become like this? If it weren't for you being women, I would beat you up too. Get the hell out of here and stop crying here!" Sun Meng drank.
