Mr. Meng's shouting startled everyone in the Meng family. Meng Zhengtang slapped the table and said angrily: "How unbecoming it is to yell!"
The accountant stood up and patted the dirt on his body, and then said with sincerity: "Master Qi, we have calculated the accounts. Instead of losing money, the young lady made a thousand taels of silver in this operation!"
"One thousand taels!" As soon as the number came out, everyone was stunned for a moment. Meng Zhengtang walked to the accountant in three steps and took two steps at a time. He took the account and started to check it carefully. Gradually, Meng Zhengtang's expression changed from confusion to realization. , and then from understanding to surprise. He looked at Sheng Guoer in disbelief, then closed the account, put it on the table and said, "Guoer is really capable. Our Meng family has never encountered such a crowded scene in so many years. Let's go boating!"
Meng Xingzhou stepped forward and said, "Father!"
Meng Zhengtang showed a rare smile and said, "Guo'er has just arrived, and she still doesn't understand many things. You need to give her more advice, you know?"
Meng Xingzhou smiled and said, "It's time for me to learn more from my lady!"
The words made everyone laugh.
In the next few days, Sheng Guoer became more and more motivated after being encouraged. He spent almost the whole day in the shop. He also planned to lead everyone to mine the barren mountains if the weather got warmer.
One month later, it's the Spring Equinox.
That night.
Sheng Guoer dragged her tired body back home from the store. As soon as he entered the room, a fragrant smell penetrated into Sheng Guoer's nose like a small insect. Sheng Guoer was tired after a long day and already hungry. When she saw the fragrant food, she hurriedly washed her hands in the copper basin next to her, then sat down to eat.
While Sheng Guoer was enjoying her meal, the maid Shaoyao walked in.
"Young madam, please eat slowly!" Shaoyao brought a cup of tea to Sheng Guoer and said, "Eating too fast will harm your health!"
Shaoyao is Sheng Guoer's personal maid. She is a very well-behaved and sensible girl, and sometimes she can be very cute.
Sheng Guoer smiled. She felt Shaoyao's concern for her. This girl was not only cute, but also extremely attentive and thoughtful. So Sheng Guoer liked this little girl very much, so she took out a jade pendant from her arms while eating.
"Shaoyao, this is for you!" Sheng Guoer put the jade pendant on the table and said while eating: "This is my new one. Seeing that you are so good, I decided to give it to you!"
This jade pendant was worth a lot at first glance. How could Shaoyao dare to accept it? He hurriedly said: "Young madam, how dare Shaoyao want young madam's jade pendant. If the master finds out about this, he will definitely serve my family well!"
Sheng Guoer said with a strange look on her face: "I am willing to give you a jade pendant. What does it have to do with the master? Do I need to ask him if I want to give you something?"
Shaoyao said with an expression of embarrassment: "The Meng family has family rules and you cannot give things to your servants at will."
Sheng Guoer wiped her mouth, snorted and said: "What kind of stinky rule is this? Oh, what a subordinate and superior. We are all human beings. Do I treat you as a friend? That's why I gave you a gift."
Shaoyao looked at Sheng Guoer in surprise. She didn't expect that Sheng Guoer had no pretensions and even said that he was her friend. This was something Shaoyao couldn't even imagine.
Sheng Guoer hates sectarianism the most. The reason why she raised her status is to change this situation one day. Since the general environment cannot be changed at present, Sheng Guoer must achieve equality for everyone in the environment that she can control.
Therefore, Sheng Guoer said: "It's okay, just keep it. If the master asks, just say I gave it to you, and I don't think he will say anything."
Shaoyao took the jade pendant and saw that there was actually a peony flower carved on it, which matched her name, and she felt very fond of it.
"Thank you, madam." Shaoyao happily put the jade pendant on her body. Sheng Guoer reminded: "Don't let your wealth slip through the cracks. You'd better put it away. Don't let others be jealous of you!"
Sheng Guoer's words awakened Shaoyao, and she hurriedly took off her jade pendant, put it in her brocade bag, and said, "Thank you, Madam, for reminding me."
After talking for a long time, Sheng Guoer asked strangely: "Hey, where has the young master gone?"
Shaoyao said: "Oh, by the way, the young master has told me that he will not come back tonight, saying that he has something to do in the private school."
What can I do in private school? Is it to prepare lessons? No, Meng Xingzhou’s knowledge basically does not require lesson preparation.
Something weird! Sheng Guoer's sixth sense suddenly exploded, and she felt that there must be something weird about Meng Xingzhou.
Thinking of this, Sheng Guoer stood up and said, "Shaoyao, call two more servants and follow me to Dongxiang Village!"
"Young madam, it's so late. There's already a curfew outside. If you go out at this time, you will be arrested and beaten by the patrolling soldiers." Shaoyao said in horror.
"What is flogging?" Sheng Guoer didn't quite understand the word.
Shaoyao quietly lay next to Sheng Guoer's ear and said, "Just spank her butt with a stick!"
Sheng Guoer laughed out loud after hearing this and said, "Okay, you're almost catching up with Singapore!"
Shaoyao asked curiously: "Singapore? What kind of place is this? I know Dongshan Slope, Qinglong Slope, what kind of slope is Singapore?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "Singapore is a country. Well, I will tell you about it later!"
Shaoyao nodded and said: "Then Madam, you must tell me about it from now on!"
After thinking about it for a while, Sheng Guoer was still a little worried. Suddenly she had an idea and said, "Shaoyao, go to the accounting room and get ten taels of silver, and then follow me!"
Shaoyao shook her head quickly and said, "I don't dare!"
Sheng Guoer took Shaoyao's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you get spanked!"
Shaoyao followed Sheng Guoer doubtfully.
When we came to the street, it was indeed sparsely populated, with only a few soldiers on night watch.
"Hey, what are you doing!" When the soldiers saw the two girls coming here late at night, they stepped forward and asked, "Don't you know they are not allowed to come out after the curfew? Those who violate the order will be whipped!"
Sheng Guoer said: "I'll give you this money, we are going to find Meng Xingzhou!"
When the soldiers heard Meng Xingzhou's name, they said, "Oh, it turns out he is studying politics with Master Meng!"
Shaoyao introduced: "This is our Young Master Meng's new wife Sheng Guo'er, the young lady of our Meng Mansion!"
It turns out to be Sheng Guoer! The two soldiers hurriedly bowed deeply: "I didn't know it was Boss Sheng who arrived. I hope you will forgive me if there is any collision!"
Sheng Guoer said: "Thank you for your hard work, two officers. I will use this little money to drink for you two. Please be accommodating when we go to find Meng Xingzhou!"
The two soldiers were nobody. It was rare that the big boss Sheng Guoer could think so highly of them. He was grateful and said: "People say that Sheng Guoer is kind and righteous. He treats his workers like family members and civilians like brothers and sisters. Today, See, it is indeed worthy of its reputation. We brothers dare not accept this money, so go ahead!"
Sheng Guoer sighed in her heart, since ancient times, people have wanted to be respected. This shows how everyone is being squeezed in this society where the clan system is rampant.
Sheng Guoer said: "You two are welcome, I may ask you two again in the future, so just accept it!"
Shaoyao handed the silver into the hands of the two soldiers and said, "The young lady asked you to accept it, so just accept it. After all, we are the ones troubling you!"
The two soldiers saw that if they refused to accept it, they would not give Sheng Guoer any face, so they had no choice but to accept it, and then said, "Thank you very much for Boss Sheng's generosity!"
Sheng Guoer waved her hand and said, "I would embarrass you two like this only when something is urgent, and I won't do it again in the future!"
When the two soldiers saw that Sheng Guoer was so knowledgeable and sensible, they both admired her.
The soldier said: "How about we escort you two to Dongxiang Village? There will be many strong people at night. With us two brothers here, we can take care of you!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "In that case, I'll ask two brothers to escort him for a while!"
One of the soldiers led the way, and the other soldier escorted behind.
When they arrived at Dongxiang Village, two soldiers said, "We still have something to do, so please send us off far away!"
Sheng Guoer nodded and said, "Okay, you two, please pay attention to safety when you go back!"
The two soldiers looked at each other and smiled, feeling warm in their hearts, and said, "Thank you very much, Boss Sheng, for your concern. We brothers are leaving!"
After saying that, the two soldiers left.
Arriving at the door of the private school, Sheng Guoer had just walked into the courtyard when she saw the lights inside the private school were brightly lit. She saw the silhouette of a familiar man reflected on the window, and the figure of a petite woman. At this moment, there was a sound coming from inside the room. Meng Xingzhou's voice: "Don't cry, we can discuss anything!"
The woman cried and said: "How should I live in the future!"
Meng Xingzhou said: "I am also responsible for this matter. Don't worry, I will take care of you! Don't forget, you are still three months pregnant! You must be open-minded."
Hearing this, Sheng Guoer was so angry that her whole body was about to explode. She said to herself that she had encountered scumbags in modern society, but she didn't expect that in ancient society, this Meng Xingzhou could pretend to be better than modern people.
It seems that there is no distinction between scumbags in ancient and modern times! hateful!
Sheng Guoer was about to kick in the door, but stopped. Shaoyao saw the angry look on the young lady's face and heard the conversation between Meng Xingzhou and the woman in the room. She felt like an ant on a hot pot, fearing what Sheng Guoer would do. Things are coming!
At this moment, Sheng Guoer turned around and went to the kitchen. Shaoyao was worried and followed closely, only to see Sheng Guoer pull out the kitchen knife, turn around and go to the main room with a fierce face.
Shaoyao hurriedly stopped Sheng Guoer and said, "Young lady, don't be like this, the young master may have misunderstood us!"
Sheng Guoer said angrily: "The child has been brought out, and you still told me that there was a misunderstanding! Look, I chopped him up!"
Just as Shaoyao and Sheng Guoer were tearing apart, Meng Xingzhou's words came from inside: "Don't worry, even if others don't care, I will be the father of this child, and I will take good care of you and him!"
Sheng Guoer went crazy when she heard this: "This woman actually has more than one husband, and you are willing to be a green-headed bastard. You are really good. You have had a lovely wife for only a few days, and you go and give it to someone else today." I’m happy to be a father, you bastard, I’ll beat you to death!”
Sheng Guoer was about to rush forward, but was blocked by Shaoyao. Several servants also stopped Sheng Guoer. Sheng Guoer wanted to shout, but was stopped by Shaoyao. Shaoyao said, "If you yell, Master, if this is not the case, wouldn’t you just ignore it?”
At this time, I heard the woman say: "Then your wife must be unhappy, I can't trouble you!"
What Meng Xingzhou said next was just a crazy test of Sheng Guoer's bottom line!
