Patriarch, he doesn't want to take the imperial examinations

Mengzhen's eldest son is named Mengqing, who is 26 years old this year.Seven years ago, she married the daughter of a wealthy family in the county. After many years of marriage, she has no children.

The ancestors of the Meng family used to be a farming and studying family, but the family has not been able to make a name for themselves for several generations.

When Grandpa Mengzhen came here, he no longer studied for the imperial examinations, but started a grain business.

It is also strange to say that the children of the Meng family are not good at studying, but they are handy in doing business.

Old Mrs. Meng spent his whole life building several grain farms in Xianghe County and the capital, and the business was done in such an orderly manner, quietly.

Arriving at Grandpa Mengzhen's place, the Meng Family's business is already in full swing.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Once Mr. Meng died, the two sons started to fight for the family property.

The two fought to the death, and seeing the business going downhill day by day, Uncle Mengzhen turned several grain farms into tickets and sneaked away with his family.

Mengzhen's father had sought out people many times to get back the ticket, but no one could see him alive or dead. The lawsuits were fought one after another, but all failed, so Meng's father had no choice but to give up and pick up the mess wholeheartedly.

Father Meng is diligent and quick-witted. With his hard work day and night, the dilapidated food business of the Meng family has slowly revived.

There is an older brother above Meng Zhen, and Father Meng always takes him with him when doing business.

After going back and forth, Mengzhen's elder brother is quite savvy in this business matter, talking about business well, he is no worse than his father at all.

It's just that there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings.Once when brother Mengzhen was escorting food southward, he was surrounded by a group of bandits and unfortunately died under the knife of the bandits.

Father Meng wept unceasingly, almost crying to death.With the eldest son gone, he had no choice but to pin his hopes on his youngest son, Meng Zhen.

Naihe Meng is really a mud that cannot support the wall.Previously, because of the protection of his father and elder brother, he was ignorant and lingered in brothels and singing prostitutes all day long.

The elder brother died suddenly, and his father arrested him to do business with him.But he doesn't know anything about it, and he is not interested in it at all, so how can he do it.

As expected, he did business with Father Meng for a period of time, and he lost money instead of making money.Father Meng thought he was stupid, and kept nagging in his ear all day long, saying that a dog has learned it, so why can't he learn it.

The implication is that he is not as good as a dog.Meng Zhen couldn't stand his father's cynicism, so he simply stayed at home and couldn't come out.

Father Meng was so pissed off by him that he almost missed hitting him several times.But no matter how he coerces and lures, Meng Zhen just doesn't do business with him.

Gradually, Father Meng also became discouraged, and he didn't bother to care about him any more, letting him die in a drunken dream.

It happened that Mengzhen had a son who was about three years old.The son is not successful, and he can't be trusted, so Father Meng places the whole family's trust on his grandson.

Speaking of which, this grandson is also very competitive. He started his business with Father Meng when he was seven years old. At the age of 13, he was able to take care of several shops by himself.

At the age of 16, Father Meng became seriously ill and left most of the family business to his grandson.Another year later, Father Meng died and passed away.

The family business was completely owned by the grandson.

This descendant of the Meng family is Meng Qing, the eldest son of Meng Zhen.

Meng Qing inherited the family property from his grandfather. During the past ten years, he has worked hard and dedicated himself. Although he did not make the business the largest in the capital, he is also famous and successful in his family business.

The Meng family is in the grain business, and travels all the year round. Every autumn, they go to the south of the Yangtze River to protect the grain. After unloading, they transport the local grain from the south of the Yangtze River back.

It takes half a year to go back and forth like this.

However, last autumn, Mengqing suffered a serious illness. Apart from him, there was no one in the family who delivered food, so the business was put on hold and moved to the beginning of this year.

He left at the beginning of February, and now it is June, half a year later, when he comes back.

Meng Zhen put on his clothes and was ready to go out to meet his son who had gone home from a long distance, but before he could take a step, Meng Qing broke in already covered in mud.

The rain gurgled down the man's clothes and hair, Meng Qing's hair was disheveled, his clothes were ragged, and he looked very embarrassed.

Meng Zhen was taken aback by his appearance, and asked with a tight voice, "Meng Qing, what's wrong with you? Why are you the only one and the others?"

Meng Qing choked and said: "Father, my son almost lost sight of you."

Meng Zhen was startled: "How do you say this?"

Meng Qing let out an "ah", with a look of ashes on his face.

At this moment, a shrill female voice broke in amidst the sound of rain: "Meng Qing, Meng Qing..."

Zhu Zhenmei cried and yelled, and fell in front of Meng Qing, shaking the man's arm and said, "What happened to you, why did you become like this!"

Meng Qing brushed her away, and said to his father: "Father, I'll go change my clothes, and I'll talk to you later." After saying that, he staggered into the rain, and Zhu Zhenmei chased after her while crying.

After a while, Meng Qing changed his clothes and came back, Zhu Zhenmei was no longer with him.He sat down next to Mengzhen and poured out everything he had encountered along the way.

Two months ago, a group of them returned from the south of the Yangtze River. When passing through the river, the boat was surrounded by a group of bandits, and the food, money and silver were taken away.

This is not enough, the bandits not only want their money, but also their lives.In desperation, he jumped into the rolling river.

Fortunately, his life was not to die. When he was drifting down the river with the driftwood in his arms, a passenger ship rescued him.

There was a merchant on the boat, from Jeju, who came to Jiangnan to visit his relatives, and now he was returning by boat. Seeing that he fell into the water, he wanted to help him.

A few days later, when the ship docked, he went north with the merchants. When they arrived in Jeju, they said goodbye. The man gave him some money and asked him to be more careful on the road so that he could go home.

In this way, he stumbled all the way and suffered a lot on the way, and finally returned home.

Ugh……

Meng Qingwu sighed to himself, thinking of the hardships and hardships along the way, he still had lingering fears and fears.

Meng Zhen saw that he was downcast and listless, so he hurriedly said words of relief: "It's all over, it's good for you to come back."

Hearing this, Meng Qing was startled for a moment, then quickly turned his gaze back to his father, thinking, his father has indeed changed a lot.

In the past, people had uncertain personalities and indulged in lust, but now these bad habits are gone.

These changes have to start from last autumn.

On August [-] last year, when Meng Qing came back from his rebirth, he discovered that his father, who had died on this day in his previous life, was not dead.

In the last life, in the autumn of the 11th year of Zhaoping, on the night of August [-], Meng Qing packed his things in the grain store in the county seat, waiting for the next day to escort the grain to the south of the Yangtze River.

Just when he finished packing his things and was about to rest, Ah Qing suddenly ran up to him, crying sadly, "Eldest Young Master, Master, he went and died on the fifth lady's body."

Meng Qing was struck by lightning for a moment, and he froze in place, unable to speak a word.Although his father is quite a jerk, he indulges in drinking and sex all day long, and never cares about family affairs.But in the end, after giving birth to him, with this kindness, no matter how dissatisfied he is with people, he can't say a word about people or show any dissatisfaction.

It was difficult for him to accept his father's sudden death.As the eldest son in the family, he will take care of his father's funeral.

In the last life, he was indeed the one who brought his younger brothers in sackcloth and filial piety to raise his father's coffin for the funeral. He personally watched his father's coffin buried in the ground.

But in this life, why didn't his father die?

Could it be that he was reborn like him?

Meng Qing was very puzzled.

What is even more puzzling is that his father's temperament has changed drastically after he was reborn.Not only did he abstain from drinking and sex, but he even began to read books. You must know that his father never even touched a book before.

Could it be that after this person was reborn, he suddenly woke up?

But even if he is awakened, there is no need to study for the imperial examination. With his father's physical condition, don't let him get himself into it if he doesn't get a good name from the book.

If so, it would be better not to be born again.

Meng Qing thought like this, but couldn't think of a reason.But no matter what, his father is much better than his previous life, at least the family is peaceful, so he doesn't need to worry so much.

Now his father is sitting beside him, greeting him with concern, his face is full of concern, his heart warms up, he respects and loves this father at the same time.

"Father!" Meng Qing called out in a muffled voice, "my son is fine. It's not yet dawn, you can sleep a little longer, my son has been running around for many days, and he is also very tired, so go back and rest, and I will wait until dawn. Come here to say hello to you." With that, he stood up.

Meng Zhen also got up with him, said "OK", and sent him out, and watched him disappear in the rainy night before he lay back on his bed.

He was lying on the swaying rainy night with the howling wind, his heart was in a state of ups and downs, but he couldn't fall asleep.

He thought about the eldest son of the original owner. If this family hadn't been supported by Meng Qing, his family would have gone to drink the northwest wind long ago.

Compared with the other sons, Meng Qing, as the eldest son in the family, has a calmer personality, so Xiao Xiao started to start a business, and he did it well, which is very admirable.

But in this peaceful world, where the bandits come out to seek wealth and murder, it makes people's hard work over the past year in vain.

Listening to the sound of pouring rain outside, Meng Zhen slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, the rain stopped and the sky was fine.

As usual, Meng Zhen went to the academy after having breakfast.There are mostly young people in the school, and he is happy to be at ease if he doesn't get along with him.Except for asking Mr. Zheng for advice, the rest of the time he sat in his own seat and wrote silently.

In this way, another six or seven days passed, and the weather became hotter and hotter. Master Zheng gave the students a hot summer vacation.

It's strange to say that there were constant thunderstorms in the past few days, and the sky seemed to be collapsing, but after falling into ambush, there was not even a drop of rain, and the land was about to crack.

After lunch today, Meng Zhen stayed at home for a lunch break as usual.The noisy cicadas squeaked into his ears, and he vaguely heard the noise in his sleep.

But the sky was so dull, his body seemed to be suppressed by something, and he couldn't move at all.

He seemed to hear footsteps, and then a scream sounded in his ears:

"Master is not well, get up quickly, the young master and the young mistress are fighting!"
