After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Half an hour later, the carriage drove into Zhuque Street from the east and turned into a small alley in the north.

The snow inside had not been cleared, and the wheels of the carriage were stuck, so the people had to get off and walk.

"Just ahead."

The matchmaker said.

Tan Er looked around and asked curiously, "How come there are so many people here?"

Meng Qianqian also felt that this place was too quiet and couldn't believe that there would be such a desolate place near the noisy Zhuque Street.

The matchmaker sighed, "Once upon a time, this was the busiest alley on Zhuque Street. Many craftsmen who had passed down the business for generations and knights-errant settled here. I forgot the exact year, but one day, a mysterious man came to Zhuque Street and slaughtered the alley. I can't remember how many people died. The government investigated for several years but could not find any clues. This case became an unsolved case."

"After that, everyone moved out one after another. Few families stayed, and almost no one dared to move in. Otherwise, with the excellent location here, 100,000 taels would not be expensive!"

“Ah, here we are!”

The toothbrush stopped.

Meng Qianqian looked at the slightly ajar courtyard door on the right.

Tan'er stepped forward and pushed it open.

Meng Qianqian didn't rush in, but observed it carefully first and said, "It faces south and sits north. There is a road to the west of the house and sand beside the house. Although there is no water to the east of the house, there is a feng shui pond in the yard. This house has good feng shui and good fortune."

The matchmaker came over and said to Meng Qianqian, "I'm talking about this one."

The copper lock was too old and the key could no longer open it. Tan'er twisted it with one hand, pulled the lock off, pushed open the shabby courtyard door and said, "Isn't it open now?"

Meng Qianqian looked up and down and said calmly: "White walls and blue tiles, a house of mourning, with a dead tree at the door, now it's a large tomb, it's indeed a haunted house."

The matchmaker smiled awkwardly: "My dear, do you also know Feng Shui?"

Meng Qianqian stepped over the threshold: "I read it in a storybook."

The matchmaker twitched her lips and followed with a smile: "Since it's a haunted house——"

Meng Qianqian observed the furnishings in the yard: "It's okay, the feng shui can be changed."

The toothbrush asked, "Will you change it?"

Meng Qianqian frowned seriously: "The story hasn't been written yet."

Toothbrush: “…”

"call!"

Tan'er ran through the main room in a flash.

Meng Qianqian looked at each room.

The matchmaker followed her with a smile: "My dear lady, you are very generous. You don't need to buy a haunted house just to save some money. How about I take you somewhere else? A little further away from Zhuque Street. The price... is a little higher."

Meng Qianqian said: "No need, this is it."

The toothbrush was stunned: "Ah?"

"Sister! What a tall tree!"

Tan'er climbed up a towering tree in the backyard.

Meng Qianqian looked at her and nodded: "Yeah."

Then he said to the matchmaker, "Twenty-five thousand taels, no more."

The toothbrush gritted her teeth and said, "Thirty thousand! Thirty thousand taels! This is really the lowest price! Mother Chun, I didn't earn a single penny from you! My dear, my dear?"

Meng Qianqian was raising her hand to touch a broken octagonal lamp hanging in the corridor, wondering what she was thinking.

The matchmaker waved her hand in front of her eyes and said, "My dear lady?"

Meng Qianqian's eyes instantly returned to their coldness: "How much did you say?"

The matchmaker laughed dryly: "Two, twenty-eight thousand taels."

Meng Qianqian: "Deal."

When he returned to the dental clinic, the lame young man had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

He was wearing a thin grey coat with a patch on his right elbow. He had a thin body and delicate features. Although his eyebrows were lowered, there was no trace of flattery in him.

He has the scholarly air of a scholar, as well as the worldly air of a commoner. His eyes are firm and he is definitely not a weak person.

Meng Qianqian pointed to the account book on the table and asked, "How long did it take you to calculate this?"

"Half an hour."

"Okay, what's your name?"

"Liu Changsheng."

Meng Qianqian added: "I have two shops on hand, can you handle it?"

Liu Changsheng nodded: "I'm very quick in settling accounts."

Meng Qianqian looked at him and said, "I'm letting you be my shopkeeper. Naturally, you will be in charge of the accounts of the two shops yourself."

Liu Changsheng was surprised.

Meng Qianqian stood up and walked out with Tan'er: "When you have thought it over, come to the Lu family in Changning Street to find me. My name is Meng Qianqian."

"The Lu family of Changning Street..." The matchmaker exclaimed, "You are the wife of General Zhenbei, the eldest lady of the Lu family?"

Meng Qianqian got on the carriage: "Not now."

On the way back, Meng Qianqian bought a string of candied haws for Tan'er.

Tan Er grabbed the candied haws and leaned towards Meng Qianqian: "Sister, why do you stay in the capital? Don't you miss home? Don't you miss your parents?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and said regretfully, "I forgot that my parents passed away when I was three years old."

"revenge."

Meng Qianqian said.

Tan'er was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was answering the first question.

"This answer is so exciting! The Silu family?"

Tan'er is eager to try!

"We're here. Wake up Nanny Li and Nanny Wan."

After Meng Qianqian finished speaking, she stood up, opened the curtain and got off the carriage.

“Okay.” Tan Er curled her lips, took a deep breath, put her hands on her hips and roared like a lion, “Madame Li – Madame Wan – get up –”

The news that Meng Qianqian had broken up with Lu Lingxiao in public had spread at the Liu family's funeral. As guests continued to come and go this morning, the news spread like wildfire.

The news that a sixty-year-old lady was diagnosed with pregnancy also spread.

The old lady fell ill as soon as she came back.

This time he was not pretending, he really felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and a headache as if he was hit by an axe.

I heard that Lu Xingzhou originally wanted to invite imperial physicians to treat the old lady, but for some reason, the imperial physicians either had emergencies at home or were asked to leave by others.

It's easy to imagine that the imperial physician looked down on the old lady's behavior and didn't want to treat her at all.

Lu Xingzhou could only go to the clinic to see a doctor.

The doctor's medical skills could be said to be excellent, but the old lady's condition was half caused by anger and half by the aftereffects of the medicine used to reduce the risk of urinary incontinence. There was no cure at all.

The old lady was in so much pain that she cursed Meng Qianqian eight hundred times.

"It's all because of this unlucky star! Get her out of here!"

The maid said, "Madam, the one-month deadline has not yet arrived, so we can't chase her away."

The old lady became even angrier.

Meng Qianqian didn't care how angry the old lady was. She asked Banxia to call the servants in the yard.

"I'm sure you all know my situation. You can continue to follow me, or you can stay at the Lu family. I will give you the indenture."

Everyone looked at each other.

Granny Liu stood up and said, "To be honest, my daughter-in-law has given birth again, and there is not enough manpower at home. I want to go back to take care of my grandson."

Meng Qianqian: "Pinella ternata."

Banxia took the one from Liu Po's body sales contract and gave it to her, along with ten taels of silver.

Mrs. Liu's eyes turned red, and she knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Madam!"

Banxia said: "It's time to call Miss!"

Mrs. Liu wiped her tears and said, "Yes, yes, Miss!"

Mrs. Hu said, "I will follow the young lady!"

The cook said, "I am willing to follow you, young lady!"

Meng Qianqian asked: "Anything else?"

The rest of the servants looked at each other and said nothing.

Although the eldest young lady's wife is rich, she did something as unorthodox as divorcing her husband. It is conceivable how the world would curse her, and they do not want to be implicated.

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Everyone has their own aspirations. Banxia, ​​return the indentures to them and pay their monthly wages."

After they left, Nanny Li closed the door and said, "Alas, the young lady treats them well on weekdays... I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for them to stay in the Lu family."

Meng Qianqian no longer thought about other people's affairs. The most urgent task was how to collect 28,000 taels of silver.
