Qiu Xingchang drove, Su Yao sat in the passenger seat, and Marshal Meng Shaoyuan and Shang Qianyi Shang sat in the back seat.
After being separated for a while, the Marshal of the Flower Country became more and more charming, with that figure...
Meng Shaoyuan swallowed quietly. Thinking of the night with Marshal Monk, I couldn't help but feel my heart beating wildly, wishing I could do it right now...
It makes a lot of sense to say that you don’t love the country but love the beauty.
King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, Emperor Ming Dynasty of Tang Dynasty... Meng Shaoyuan found it difficult to understand those people who would give up their country for a smile from a beautiful woman, but now he completely empathizes with them.
Think about it, how many normal men can resist being tempted by a woman like Shang Qianyi?
Shang Qianyi was like a real wife, clinging to her husband whom she had not seen for a long time, whispering a few words from time to time. Sometimes he would lean into Meng Shaoyuan's ear and say a few words. Before he could finish speaking, he would burst out laughing.
This kind of woman can make men obsessed with her.
Qiu Xingchang just drove and turned a deaf ear, but Su Yao's face was red.
When seeing Shang Qianyi, even a woman will be moved, let alone a man? Brother Shao Yuan used to be in Chongqing, and he had a sister-in-law hiding there.
"Sir, we're here."
The car stopped.
Qiu Xingchang helped open the car door.
Home arrived?
This, is this your home in Chongqing?
Meng Shaoyuan was a little dumbfounded.
Wooden-framed house with beam frame, single-eave gabled roof, covered with small green tiles...
As soon as you enter, you will see a big courtyard, full of flowers, plants and trees, providing shade and shelter from the sun. In the summer, it is as comfortable as you want to be here to block the scorching sun. Every few steps you can see stone tables and benches used for resting.
There is a dam in front and three patios in the back. It is divided into two courtyards, the front and rear, which are called the "upper and lower courtyards" in Chongqing people's parlance.
The upper courtyard was for the servants, while the lower courtyard was for the master and his family.
According to Qiu Xingchang, the upper courtyard is very large. In addition to housing servants, guards, drivers, etc. can also be arranged here.
forget it.
What kind of guards do you use? Meng Shaoyuan understood the principle that big trees attract wind.
"How big is this?" Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but ask.
"More than three acres."
More than three acres?
So that’s more than 2,000 square meters?
"This is all Mr. Qiu's kindness." Shang Qianyi said gently: "After I came to Chongqing, Mr. Lu accompanied me to visit the Qiu family. Mr. Qiu said that you will come sooner or later, so it is better to prepare in advance so that You can also have a home in Chongqing in the future. So I gave this house to you. I refused again and again, but Mr. Qiu refused again and again."
Meng Shaoyuan was startled: "Mr. Qiu gave it to me? How can that be so embarrassing?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Qiu Xingchang said hurriedly: "We are embarrassed to say it. This is the old house of my Qiu family. It has been idle for a long time. It is reasonable to say that we should help Chief Meng find a new house, but at the moment It will be difficult to find one. Now a large number of people are pouring into Chongqing, and the housing supply is even tighter, so I have no choice but to give in to Chief Meng and live here."
Wronged?
This kind of grievance might as well come more often.
Meng Shaoyuan excused himself and accepted it calmly.
Since we are already allies with the Qiu family, there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.
There is no rush to wait for a while.
"Chief Meng has worked hard all the way, and I think he is tired." Qiu Xingchang looked at the time and said, "I originally wanted to let Chief Meng eat something to comfort his stomach, but Madam-in-law said that she would come to help you prepare food."
Madam sister-in-law?
Shang Qianyi?
Don't mention it, if you call it like that, if Zhu Yanni hears it, it will inevitably lead to another bloody storm.
"Go and make arrangements for everyone who comes with me." Meng Shaoyuan explained.
"Yes, someone has already arranged it."
"Two things." Meng Shaoyuan was still worried: "One is a prisoner my men caught on the boat. We must guard it closely and there must be no mistakes. Also, help me pay attention to the two people on the boat. One is You. Heron, one is called You Yuecheng."
Meng Shaoyuan still remembers the "Ode to Become a Teacher" to this day.
"Understood. If you don't have anything else to do, sir, I'll leave first and pick you up at half past five."
"Go ahead."
Meng Shaoyuan asked Su Yao to choose a room by herself.
Logically speaking, the Su family was considered middle class when they were in Nanjing.
But this is the first time Su Yao has seen such a big house.
"You rest first, I'll prepare something to eat for you."
Shang Qianyi brought Meng Shaoyuan into the room and said softly.
Meng Shaoyuan looked at the room carefully.
The furniture, mattresses and quilts inside are all new.
In the corners on both sides, two pots of rich flowers were specially placed.
It can be seen that Shang Qianyi has put a lot of thought into welcoming her.
After a while, the food was brought in.
A bowl of porridge and three plates of side dishes.
Meng Shaoyuan had been on the ship for a long time and was tired from the journey. The first meal was not supposed to be a big fish or meat meal. He needed porridge and side dishes to recuperate his stomach.
These three dishes are also very unique.
One dish is peanuts with celery, another dish is fried bacon with green beans, and one dish is shredded potatoes in vinegar, all made by Shang Qianyi herself.
Sure enough, you can go to the hall, go to the kitchen, and go up...
Shang Qianyi helped fill a bowl of porridge. She sat beside it and looked at Meng Shaoyuan longingly. It took a long time before she said: "You have lost weight."
Can I not lose weight?
After fighting the Japanese every day and narrowly escaping death, he wandered on the Yangtze River for so many days.
Meng Shaoyuan sipped porridge and ate vegetables: "Why don't you hire some servants?"
"Mr. Lu also said that the servants have been found." Shang Qianyi quickly replied: "But I think this is your house. If you are not satisfied with the servants, you have the final say. I Just tell Mr. Lu, keep those servants for now and pay them their wages. When you come, if you are satisfied, you can stay. If you are not satisfied, you can give them a sum of money and let them go back."
Look, look. This is the woman of this era.
Although Meng Shaoyuan has no male chauvinism, if there is such a beautiful, gentle and sensible woman by his side, the man's vanity will naturally be greatly satisfied.
In the past, Meng Shaoyuan had seen unruly princesses and shrewish wives in movies and TV shows, but if he thought about it carefully, under the constraints of Chinese ethics for thousands of years, how could there be so many women who regarded unruly and unreasonable women as cute?
Occasionally there is a Princess Taiping, but that is definitely very rare.
The feminist movement in big cities such as Shanghai has long been launched vigorously, but most women still do things according to their own knowledge.
"It's up to you." Meng Shaoyuan didn't want to care about these trivial matters: "You can stay if you think it's good. It's not like a gardener, servant, or mother. We'll do it according to the mentality of the nouveau riche."
Shang Qianyi burst out laughing: "How can you say that about yourself? We don't need many people, we can do some things by ourselves. I know you are rich, but there are many places for men to use money. Today there are Once you have money, it doesn't mean you will never be short of money in the future. You still have to keep some more for emergencies, just in case something happens in the future.
I think, let's hire a gardener to take care of so many flowers, plants and trees. By the way, let Bao Jian do the hard work, and we will give him a salary of one and a half. He will naturally be happy if he gets more money. , we can also save half of our salary, and I plan to do the same for the rest of the people. "
This is a good wife who knows how to budget carefully.
Meng Shaoyuan felt that he had found a treasure.
Shang Qianyi explained her thoughts carefully, and then said with some hesitation: "There is one more thing. I made my own decision before I had time to tell you."
"What's up?"
"After I came to Chongqing, I saw that Mr. Lu was very busy all day long. He wished he could be divided into two people." Shang Qianyi was a little embarrassed: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I will often go and help Mr. Lu. . Help him manage the company, arrange the delivery sequence, check the inventory, and dispatch the goods for delivery. "
"Oh?" Meng Shaoyuan was very interested: "Do you know this?"
"I didn't understand it at first, but I got it after learning." Shang Qianyi lowered her head and said, "I know that you trusted Mr. Lu by leaving him alone in Chongqing and taking care of everything. I later thought , Will this make Mr. Lu worry too much, thinking that you can’t trust him and send me to monitor him? That would be self-defeating. "
Meng Shaoyuan only asked: "Have you ever had access to the accounts?"
"No, then I definitely don't dare." Shang Qianyi said immediately: "If the accounts are really touched, Mr. Lu will definitely be unhappy."
"That's good, that's good." Meng Shaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "You are right. I left Lu Yixuan here to run the business alone just to let him know that I trust him unconditionally. You can touch everything, only the account books Don't touch him. He has won the imperial examination and is a serious scholar. Scholars are always a little sensitive, and you understand this."
Lu Yixuan could take the initiative to report the public and private accounts to Meng Shaoyuan in detail, but if Shang Qianyi went to see the accounts as the boss's wife, he would think that she was here to check the accounts.
It is distrust in oneself.
In Lu Yixuan's eyes, there are only two people in the world who have access to those ledgers, one is Meng Shaoyuan, and the other is himself.
It seems that Shang Qianyi has another advantage. She is very measured in doing things and knows what can be done and what must not be touched.
"Let's do this, you will be Lu Yixuan's assistant in Heng Lung from now on, and the position will be gone for the time being. You have to remember that Heng Lung belongs to our family, and Litong Company belongs to the military. You can help with Henglong's affairs, but Litong Company You must not interfere there, leave everything to Lu Yixuan to take care of, this is the most important thing."
Meng Shaoyuan gave instructions carefully.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Meng Shaoyuan was satisfied and checked that it was still early. When the stomach is full, sexual desire will arise again. As the old Chinese saying goes, fullness warms the mind and makes the mind full, which makes sense.
Without saying much, he stood up, picked up Shang Qianyi and walked to the bed.
Shang Qianyi was startled, and then she said shyly in a low voice: "How could anyone do this in broad daylight..."
But in the eyes of Master Meng, how can there be so many rules and regulations in day and night...
