Meng Hetong looked up at Xu Qingmo: "What?"
"Are you going to visit the south of the Yangtze River as the Marquis of Yongchang? You designed my grandmother to invite you to the He family. Do you want to secretly visit the He family?" Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong and said coldly.
Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo who was staring at him in front of him and said nothing.
Xu Qingmo's heart skipped a beat: "My uncle, is he corrupt and perverting the law?"
"No!" Meng Hetong shook his head.
"Then why are you going to my uncle's house?" Xu Qingmo frowned.
"Since the He family can be a century-old clan, they naturally have their rules. Your uncle is an honest official, but he spends money generously. Someone petitioned and said that the floor tiles in your uncle's house are all made of gold. Although this statement is definitely not true. But it would not be a good thing if it reaches the ears of the royal family!" Meng Hetong said in a low voice.
The Qingyuan He family can be regarded as a century-old clan family. The most important thing for a family that can last in the court for such a long time is rules, and the He family's rules are not to touch the red line of the court.
But the court was a big dye vat. Even Xu Qingmo did not dare to say that the He family was absolutely innocent.
"My grandmother and several aunts are all good at handling family affairs and the store's property!" Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong and said softly, "The household expenses can always be maintained!"
Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo and said nothing.
Xu Qingmo's eyes gradually dimmed, and finally he sighed softly: "I know!"
Meng Hetong looked at Xu Qingmo's leaving figure and opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
"Master, why don't you tell the truth?" Yusheng was a little anxious, "Miss Xu, this is obviously a misunderstanding!"
"She didn't misunderstand!" Meng Hetong took a deep breath helplessly, "I do want to patrol the south of the Yangtze River! There are indeed rumors about the He family. There are some things that don't need to be made too clear!"
Yusheng looked at Meng Hetong, then lowered his voice and said softly: "That's Miss Xu's uncle. Aren't you afraid that Miss Xu will be angry with you and you won't be able to marry a wife?"
Meng Hetong glanced at Yusheng: "You talk as if I can get a wife now!"
Yusheng raised his eyebrows, and then looked at Meng Hetong seriously: "Master, I never realized that you are so self-aware!"
"Get out!" Meng Hetong was so angry that he kicked Yusheng on the butt.
Yusheng rolled around and ran away, leaving only Meng and Tong blowing in the wind.
Early the next morning, Mrs. He and his party set off, and Meng and Tong also accompanied them. Mrs. He was particularly concerned.
Meng Hetong traveled on horseback by himself, which was fine, but Xu Qingmo, on the other hand, was shaken to pieces after riding in the carriage for a day. In the end, he snatched He Anye's horse and followed He Jinshan and the others in a leisurely way.
"Why didn't Mo Mo continue to sit on the carriage?" He Jinshan followed Xu Qingmo and couldn't help but ask?
"The carriage goes very fast, and the road is very bumpy. It's always bumpy. It's hard to avoid feeling a little dizzy. It would be more comfortable for me to ride a horse by myself!" Xu Qingmo said with a smile.
"In Jiangnan, I rarely see girls who can ride horses by themselves!" He Jinshan said with a smile.
"Actually, there aren't many in the capital!" Meng Hetong suddenly interrupted.
Xu Qingmo glanced at Meng Hetong, then looked at He Jinshan: "I haven't been to Jiangnan for many years, but compared to the capital, my daughter's house here looks more lively and cute!"
"My daughter's family in a mountainous area doesn't have so many rules. On weekdays, I just walk around when I have nothing to do. When summer comes, every family has to go to the lotus field to pick lotus pods. Naturally, they look more lively!" He Jinshan said with a smile. .
"So, what cousin means is that the ladies in the capital imitate Xizi's flattering style because they are too idle?" Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows.
He Jinshan quickly shook his head: "Hey! That's not what I said. If your words reach their ears, they will eat all my bones alive!"
Xu Qingmo couldn't help laughing: "How can it be so serious? The most I can do is hide in the back yard and say bad things about you!"
He Jinshan laughed: "There is nothing else in Jiangnan, except for the beautiful scenery, which is pretty good. When you get to Hangzhou, how about asking my sister to accompany you for a walk?"
"Okay!" Xu Qingmo smiled and then followed them forward.
Meng Hetong, who had been following them but had been ignored, suddenly felt a very strange sense of threat. He turned back and glanced at Yusheng. Yusheng knew it well, so he hurried forward and squeezed in beside Qu Lian.
Qu Lian was originally following Xu Qingmo, but when Yu Sheng squeezed her, Xu Qingmo and He Jinshan were squeezed apart.
He Jinshan glanced at Yusheng, but didn't react at all. He just looked at Meng Hetong behind him strangely. But at this time, Meng Hetong pretended to be looking at the scenery and did not do anything to hinder him.
Worried about something unexpected happening along the way, the group of them barely stopped at all, shortening the three-day trip to one and a half days, and then arrived in Hangzhou on the night of the next day.
Compared with the previous county town, there is a very big difference as soon as you enter Hangzhou City.
The previous county seat was already a very lively place, but the city of Hangzhou was obviously even more prosperous and lively. Along the way, people were coming and going, and the wide streets were even a little crowded.
Meng Hetong looked at the prosperous city of Hangzhou and suddenly understood why some people were always so interested in this piece of fat in Jiangnan.
The He family's courtyard in Jiangnan is very large, almost as big as three Ningyuan Hou's mansions. You know, Ningyuan Hou's mansion is already relatively large in a place like the capital, while the He family's house in Hangzhou is It's even ridiculously big.
"This house was bought by the He family fifty years ago. At that time, Hangzhou was not as crowded as it is now. There happened to be disasters in those years, and many people fled. This family also He went to join someone else, which happened to give us an advantage!" When entering, He Jinshan said softly, "Mo Mo shouldn't have been here, right?"
Xu Qingmo shook his head: "I have only been to my hometown and the house in Hangzhou City, but I have never been to it, but looking at it now, it is really impressive."
"Let me tell you secretly, there are several bricks in here, and they are made of gold bricks!" He Jinshan suddenly lowered his voice and said.
Xu Qingmo's eyebrows jumped slightly, and then asked: "Then why don't you dig it out?"
"He was poached by the original owner a long time ago!" He Anye suddenly came over.
