Daily Life of Supporting a Family in Ancient Times

Chapter 118 Sending a Bracelet to Show Friendship

However, He Yanxin can now be sure that Song Yeqing likes him a little bit, at least she doesn't object to their intimacy.

Even if the confession is not successful, this is good news.

He Yanxin smiled easily, and left the pharmacy without the dark complexion just now.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that Meng Shurui came to visit.

He did bring some books and a small box as presents.

The book belonged to the Meng family. He knew that the two children of the He family were studying recently, so he brought it with him.

The box was given to Song Yeqing by his mother, and inside was a plain silver bracelet.

"It's too precious. I'll send it back to you after I let Xiao Chuan finish copying it."

He Yanxin flipped through a few books and found that they were all very expensive in the market.

Meng Shurui somewhat understood his temperament, so he didn't try to persuade the other party to accept him, so he just nodded and said yes.

"Arranged?" He Yanxin asked, refilling his tea.

"Okay." In the end, 23 people lived in his house.

They were respectively arranged in the courtyard at the mountain depression and the empty courtyard at the side of Meng's house.

Of the houses that were to be sold at the beginning, only He Yanxin bought this other house, and no one bought the others for the time being.

Tomorrow, I have to send someone to the city to talk to the Yaman of the Zhuangzhai, lest the other party have to help them find a buyer.

I just hope that nothing will happen during the time those people live in the house.

But he found it difficult.Meng Shurui took a sip of tea and thought silently.

He briefly learned about the 23 people.Some are a family, and some are alone, and they don't know each other.

Although it is divided into two places to live, people are still mixed.

He Yanxin only asked about the basic situation, and then turned to chatting about other things.

"Has that old Mi you mentioned last time returned to Fucheng?"

Lao Mi is a well-known servant in the city. After the Meng family came back, they hired two cooks and bought a few servant girls from him.

Knowing that He Yanxin wanted to find someone, Meng Shurui introduced such a reliable one.

It's just that some time ago, Lao Mi went to the place to find someone.

Meng Shurui said: "It's been a few days since I heard from the dentist. When I get back, he will come to the door in person, and I will bring him to you again."

He Yanxin nodded.Since there are reliable ones, it's better than going out and looking for them by yourself.

After all, neither he nor Song Yeqing had any experience in buying and selling slaves.

If the heart is not clear, the eyes are not bright, and if you find something bad, then you have brought disaster into your house.

Meng Shurui looked up and saw the paintings hanging in the living room, and said:

"Every time I look at this "Jiangnan Ink Painting" by my younger siblings, I have different perceptions, it's really wonderful..."

Although he did not do well in the imperial examinations and was not an official, he still has some characteristics of a scholar.

That is, I don't like gold and silver vulgar objects very much, but like calligraphy and painting.

This painting by Song Yeqing has a profound artistic conception and superb technique, it is really good.

He Yanxin looked up with his gaze, and he also thought it looked good, but he couldn't tell why.

But he said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law's paintings are naturally good."

Appreciation is appreciation, don't think about anything else.

When Meng Shurui saw the painting for the first time, he lavishly praised it.Knowing that it was Song Yeqing's painting, she admired her even more, and asked who she studied under.

Song Yeqing learned it from her second aunt after returning to the old house.The other party is not only a photographer, but also a famous Chinese painter.

She and Meng Shurui exchanged some painting skills and brushwork issues.

At that moment, He Yanxin became a little jealous, feeling a sudden sense of crisis in his heart.

But who told him that he didn't understand these things? He didn't have a common topic with her, so he had to stay by the side.

But now it's all right, after my own thoughts have been answered, I don't have to be afraid of anything.

Hearing what he said, Meng Shurui seemed to understand why he said that, and smiled teasingly.

Then they changed the subject naturally, and the two talked about doing business together.

This is also helpless, although Meng Shurui doesn't like gold, silver and property, but these are necessary to maintain his life.

It is good that there are plenty of fields, but how many people in the family can do the work in the fields?Just hire people.

Now the cost of eating and drinking per person is no more than that in the capital, but it is not a little bit higher than that of other people in Mengjiazhuang.

Not only do servants have to be raised, but the juniors also need to study.The eldest brother is nothing to do, he only asks for money to drink all day long.

So it is incumbent to do some business to add income to the family.Otherwise, if the surplus food is eaten up and the money is used up, the family will have to fight a big battle.

He Yanxin got together with him and discussed in the hall until late at night.

Ever since Song Yeqing received Mrs. Meng's silver bracelet, she knew that it was a gesture of goodwill.

That's right, it's been almost a month since I moved here, but I haven't visited the house, it's really not good.

So on this day, she asked He Yanxin to buy some pastries, and took them to Meng's house.

She originally planned to return the jewelry together, but He Yanxin stopped him, saying that the two companies have almost finalized their partnership.

Mrs. Meng also knew about this, so she gave her a gift to show her friendliness, so there was no need to be so solemn as a normal gift.

Song Yeqing is also a junior, so he can just bring some things to the door.

After arriving at the main hall, Mrs. Meng was much calmer than the previous few months.

She was wearing an indigo thick jacket dress, and she had a prayer bead coiled in her hand.Seeing Song Yeqing come in, he didn't ask her to kneel down to pay his respects.

Song Yeqing gave her a Wanfu gift, and she stood up and bowed her head to accept it.

Mrs. Meng said with a smile: "At the beginning, I didn't know that my wife would go to Zhaozhou with us. The journey is so far away. Now that I think about it, it really is an inexhaustible fate."

She didn't mention the fact that Song Yeqing didn't come to visit. She only said that it was a great fate that the two families could meet here.

That being said, no matter what the facts are, Song Yeqing still needs to explain.

"I should have come to visit you a long time ago. I just moved. I just want to get things done and come to the house cleanly."

She thought about this sentence all the way before she decided to say it.

Mrs. Meng didn't know whether she believed her words, and she didn't ask whether the house was cleaned up now.

The two sat down, and after the maid showed them tea, they chatted about children.

Why don't you bring your two children to play at home? The children are stupid and afraid to disturb the old lady.

The little lady who asked who was injured at the time is how she is now.

Before Mrs. Meng could answer, people came in from outside.

"Ms. Song." It turned out that several female family members of the Meng family came.

"Reunion after a long absence, are you okay?" Mrs. Yu came over and asked.

"It's always been good..." Song Yeqing stood up and greeted them.

Several people returned together.

"Yuqing, come quickly." Mrs. Meng beckoned to her little daughter who was standing behind her sisters-in-law.

"You don't remember, this sister-in-law came to see you when you were unconscious."

Meng Yuqing showed a shy smile and called, "Sister-in-law."

Of course she remembered Song Yeqing. When she first met the bandit, she was impressed by his heroic demeanor.

She had never seen such a woman before.
