The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Then there was the sound of chairs moving, and it seemed that Yue Zhiheng was leaving.

Suddenly, the chair on the other side also rang, and Qian Xiuxian said: "Master Yue, please stay."

What is supposed to come will always come. In the past ten days, Yue Zhiheng was bumped into by Qian Xiuxian every day, and he was thinking, what on earth is this person going to do?

Today he finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stopped, turned around and smiled: "What's the matter with Mr. Qian?"

It was such a straightforward question again. Qian Xiuxian coughed tactically and said with a smile: "I'm already familiar with Lord Yue. I'm taking a break for the past ten days. Some of our friends are having a poetry party, and we'd like to invite Lord Yue to come with us." Discuss and discuss.”

Just that, not asking for an official position? Yue Zhiheng's face improved a little.

However, he still refused as always: "Thank you Lord Qian for your kindness. It's just that my grandfather is old and I need to go back to take care of him. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Poetry Club."

The rejection was very tactful, but Qian Xiuxian still felt a burning pain on his face.

The Yue Mansion family has a great business and a large number of servants. Yue Zhiheng needs to go back to serve him wherever he is, but he obviously doesn't want to go.

But now that he had taken this step, Qian Xiuxian still didn't want to give up. He continued: "When I was studying, I admired Yue Shangshu's literary talent very much. Now I am friends with Lord Yue. I wonder if I can go to the house to see Lord Xia. To show respect.”

At this time, Yue Zhiheng's face turned ugly. He refused so obviously, but he didn't expect that the other party would shamelessly stick to it.

Since Qian Xiuxian didn't want dignity, he had no need to save dignity for Qian Xiuxian.

He said with a fake smile: "Thank you Lord Qian for your kindness. It's just that except for those close to me, my grandfather has seen no one else. Also, Lord Qian and I have only met each other a few times. If we are friends, we really can't be considered friends."

After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving Qian Xiuxian alone in the messy noodle shop.

What a shame.

After listening to all the conversations, Meng Wenyao was in the next room, laughing so hard that her stomach ached.

Until she returned to the house, Meng Wenyao still wanted to laugh. She went to Rong'an Hall to pay her respects and was ridiculed by Wu Qinfang. Meng Wenyao was in a good mood and did not reply. What happened today was so relieved.

Qian Xiuxian, the person involved in the incident, felt that everyone he met was laughing at him since he came out of the noodle shop. He spent the entire afternoon in a state of confusion.

It wasn't until he left the office and returned to Qian's Mansion that he realized that he would have to be cross-examined by Meng Qingya today.

Almost without thinking, he turned and ran away.

Meng Qingya couldn't wait for Qian Xiuxian to return home for a long time, so she asked someone to inquire about it. The person who came back said that he was visiting friends.

It never hurts to make more friends. Maybe I got into the etiquette department through other friends.

In this way, Meng Qingya didn't care too much.

As the noodle shop in Mixiang, Jiangdong gained a reputation among low-level officials, Meng Wenyao quickly closed the first shop and asked Su He to open a new business with the money.

“You don’t seek to make more money, but you seek stability.”

As soon as Meng Wenyao finished speaking, Su He boldly said: "Madam is the wife of Marquis Zhongyong. With your small capital, it is difficult to make more. If you don't give out five thousand taels, let's expand the business." ?”

"Su He, I pretend that I didn't hear what you said. Listen, the property of Marquis Zhongyong is not mine, and my dowry is small. If you dare to throw yourself around, I will ask the Marquis to throw you to the battlefield. Do you believe it?"

In her last life, she was just a Hanlin wife. Su He and she worked hard to build a large family business step by step.

Now that her status has risen, Su He's appetite has also grown. It's not that she doesn't want to make a lot of money, but she is afraid that Su He will be bold and rely on the Zhongyong Hou Mansion to cause trouble for Huo Qingping in the future. After all, a person of this status will have such a business idea. Compared with the reputation of the family, it’s really not worth it.

"Okay, just play it safe, little one. Do you have any other orders, madam?"

"Jiangdong Mixiang is where the Sixth Department is located. Although there are few officials dining out, they are our distinguished guests in the past. Not only do you have to serve them well, you also have to write down what they often say or hear. Tell me in time."

In the past, she relied on the money Su He earned and the information Su He gathered to accurately give gifts to the officials of the Sixth Department, and smoothly promoted Qian Xiuxian to a high position.

Naturally, we cannot give up such a good channel. There is one other thing that is also very important.

"I heard that there are often talented literati who have no intention of pursuing a career hanging out in that area. If they come to our noodle shop, you can be generous and treat them to a meal."

Su He was surprised by the rumors that Meng Wenyao heard and said with a smile: "Madam, who are you listening to? How can there be people with great talents and no intention of official career? Those who are wandering in that alley want to meet one day. A high-ranking official, he soared into the sky."

Meng Wenyao really didn't want to discuss this matter. It's just that in the last life, Su He happened to invite a down-and-out scholar to dinner, and then the scholar stayed and became Qian Xiuxian's master. He helped a lot and taught Qian step by step. Cultivate the virtuous and become an official.

Such a wonderful person must not be missed in this life.

"Let's not talk about it for now. It's always those down-and-out scholars. If you can help, you can help. If you have nowhere to go, you can ask someone to stay."

Su Hexiang was very dissatisfied with Meng Wenyao's instructions and retorted: "Madam, you didn't save me because of an accident, so you think the streets are full of talents like me. Let me tell you, those scholars are very rotten." , even if you save a hundred people, you may not be able to meet talents like me."

Putting his hand on his forehead, Meng Wenyao said helplessly: "There is a man named Wen who is about forty years old. If you see him, try to stay. You can do whatever you want with the rest, okay?"

"Are you so old? Madam, don't worry, I will definitely respect the old and love the young."

After Meng Wenyao explained the important things and people related to the store one by one, he finally concentrated on handling the account books of the house.

After she stayed quietly at the house for a few days, she heard someone from the Meng family inviting her over.

"What happened? Why are you asking me to go back after noon?"

The grandma who came to pick them up may have been ordered by Mrs. Meng, so she started pouring beans through a bamboo tube and started talking to Meng Wenyao.

"As you know, Master Qian spends his free time in the Hanlin Academy. He likes to visit friends when he has nothing to do. A few days ago, Master Qian did not come home from his visit to a friend. The eldest lady was worried, so she went to the friend's house and planned to pick him up in person. Mr. Qian goes back, he doesn’t want to, he doesn’t want to…”

Grandma's face suddenly turned red at her age. Meng Wenyao stared at her big eyes and waited quietly for her to continue.

"I don't want to, Mr. Qian is having sex with a girl in broad daylight, that's it."

"Sister, did you see it in person?" Meng Wenyao covered her mouth and said with a smile.

"No, all the maids and wives brought by the eldest lady saw it, and Mr. Qian was not ashamed at all. When he saw the eldest lady and someone coming in, he pulled the bed curtain and the bed shook for a while before it stopped."
