pungent peasant girl

Chapter 117
The members of the third room of the Meng family have all arrived, and under the arrangement of the housekeeper, they moved into the guest room.

At the same time, Wu Shi also asked the maid beside her to tell Meng Qianyan that a family banquet was going to be prepared for the in-laws in the evening.

There is absolutely no reason for Wu to refuse such face.So Meng Qianyan came to the guest room and briefly explained the rules of the Luo family.

Then, while sending someone to invite Luo Ziyan home, she went to the back kitchen.

Ordinarily, Xu Jiaqiao had been given the power to manage the family, but this time, it was the Meng family who came. In order to prevent some troubles, she decided to prepare the family banquet herself.

This family banquet should not be shabby, it must show the style of the Luo family, and it should not be too extravagant, otherwise it will appear that she is poor and rich and does not know how to manage a family.

After thinking about it, she prepared it according to the specifications of the family's daily family banquet, and added some rare dishes according to the number of people, which is neither extravagant nor extravagant, but also shows the importance to the Meng family.

After everything was explained, the cook in the back kitchen started work. Hearing the sound of thumping and the smell of vegetables wafting out, she decided to go to Mrs. Wu again to see what else she needed.

Wu Shi has never been a person who likes to make trouble, so he just asked for two more eight-treasure soups.

She remembered it in her heart and turned back to the kitchen.

However, before she got close to the big kitchen, she saw the figure of a guard waiting in a place with few people.

She looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then walked over quickly.

"Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

The guard frowned, "Second Young Madam, didn't you tell the little one to look at Meng's side?"

"Well, what did you discover?"

"It's like this. Just now, when you were not around, Chunmei, the maid from the young lady's side, invited that Mrs. Zhao, your third aunt, right? She was invited over. The little one looks strange, Meng's family It's a relative of the Third Household He's, and also your natal family of the Second Young Madam. Then why did the Eldest Young Madam invite someone over?"

After the guard finished speaking, Meng Qianyan's brows stretched, and he murmured: "So that's how it is."

"Second Young Madam, are you okay?"

"It's okay." She shook her head. "I have my own way to deal with it. Don't tell anyone about it. Just keep watching."

As she spoke, she took out some loose silver, "Here, take these to buy wine."

"The second young lady is too polite, so the young one will leave first."

The guard retreated, Meng Qianyan went to the back kitchen, explained Wu's request, and then walked quickly to the guest room.

In another hour, when it was getting late, the banquet would begin. Before that, she had to get Zhao Huazhi done.

When she came to the guest room, the Meng family had already packed up, sitting on chairs drinking tea and resting.

Her eyes secretly scanned a whole circle, yes, He Meixiang and Xu Zhen's faces were exhausted, but Zhao Huazhi's face was full of joy that had been trying to hide.

Meng Qianyan smiled, and called out in a low voice, "Third Aunt."

Zhao Huazhi was taken aback, then looked at Meng Qianyan, "Huh? Qianyan, you called me?"

"Yeah, I don't think you're too tired? How's it going? Come and get used to it."

Zhao Huazhi laughed loudly, "Get used to it, get used to it, the Luo family is so big and nice, how can you not get used to it?"

"Well, Luo's house is a bit big. By the way, Third Aunt, are you familiar with the roads of this house? If not? How about I take you to get familiar with it?"

"Really?" Zhao Huazhi's eyes lit up.

"Of course."

"Okay, then I'll go out with you to have a look."

After leaving the courtyard of the guest room, Zhao Huazhi followed Meng Qianyan's pace and walked casually. This Luo family is indeed big, and Zhao Huazhi was dazzled when he saw it.They walked for a while and reached a corner of the back garden.

"Third Aunt, are you tired? Rest here."

"Well, okay."

The two sat down facing each other, Zhao Huazhi panted heavily tiredly, she looked at the huge garden with envy and jealousy in her heart.

Looking at Meng Qianyan from the corner of the eye, he suddenly found that Meng Qianyan had been looking at her all the time, his eyes were cold and not blinking for a moment.

Zhao Huazhi was taken aback, "Qianyan, why are you looking at me like that?"

"I see Third Aunt, are you guilty?" Meng Qianyan curled the corner of his lower lip, still with a cold arc.

Zhao Huazhi's eyelids twitched when he heard the words, and he looked elsewhere, "I, I, why am I guilty? What are you talking about, kid?"

"Third Aunt, how many years have we been relatives, how can I not understand you? There is really something wrong with you being so happy today."

"I, am I just happy when I entered Luo's house?"

"Didn't you really get some benefits?"

Meng Qianyan's voice was low, but Zhao Huazhi's heart skipped a beat.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Meng Qianyan say quietly: "Third aunt, I don't want to go around with you, so I will simply open the skylight and talk to you. Let me tell you, who did you contact and what did you do? all know."

"You..." Zhao Huazhi's eyes showed fear, he was at a loss, wondering if he was struggling in his heart.

"Third aunt, you don't have to be so afraid. You are my third aunt. I won't do anything to you. I don't even want to pursue anything you did today. "

Zhao Huazhi was incredulous, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, no matter what the third aunt does, I don't care about it. And because my parents are learning how to run a business now, I think the third aunt is a family member of our family, and I want to help you too, Open a shop or something in our town, so that Dalin and Dacheng can have a suitable livelihood, so that they will really have no worries about food and clothing in the future."

Zhao Huazhi opened her mouth wide and was stunned for a while, "Qianyan, are you serious?"

"Why should I lie to you? Aunt San, we are a family after all. Think about it, as long as I am doing well in the Luo family, I can guarantee that our Meng family is doing well. But, if anything happens, something goes wrong with me , then the future of the Meng family is uncertain. You say, are you looking at the immediate interests at this moment? Or the long-term interests? Earning money is of course a matter of long-term, right? ?”

After Meng Qianyan finished speaking, Zhao Huazhi fell silent.

This is too true. If she suddenly helped outsiders today and stumbled Meng Qianyan, what good would it do for the Meng family?
She gritted her teeth, "Girl Qianyan, is it true what you just said about opening a shop for us?"

"real."

Meng Qianyan pulled a golden hairpin from his head and put it in Zhao Huazhi's palm, "Use this as proof, can you rest assured?"

"Okay!" Zhao Huazhi took a deep breath, "Then Qianyan, let me tell you the truth, it was your sister-in-law and sister-in-law who found me and asked me to give you those things from our hometown at the family dinner tonight. Tell your mother-in-law about all the trumped-up charges. She said, as long as I tell you, she will give me 20 taels of silver. I, I was obsessed with money for a while, so I agreed."
