Meng Shu ordered many dishes in one go, all of which were Meng Wan's favorites.
It's okay if she doesn't marry. If the second sister also runs away with her, then she will be guilty of a big crime.
The second uncle and the second aunt will definitely be anxious with her then.
This girl must give up her thoughts.
They say delicious food can clog your mouth, and this is clearly reflected in Meng Wan.
The eldest sister specially asked people to make so many delicious food for her, so how much she likes her as a sister.
Meng Wan felt very happy. After eating, she suddenly remembered something.
"Sister, isn't this Yunhua Restaurant a teahouse? How can it sell food? And it tastes really good, no worse than Yunxiang Restaurant, which is known as the best restaurant in Beijing."
Meng Shu smiled when he heard this.
Her sister is really a hindsight.
"Yunhua Tower is mine." Meng Shu didn't hide it from her.
Meng Wan's eyes widened when she heard this, and after a moment she said, "Big sister is really amazing."
what to do?
She admires her big sister more and more!
Meng Wan turned her head and looked at the maid next to her, and asked eagerly: "Xuemei, how much money do I have in my cage?"
Xuemei was confused by her young lady's question. After a while, she said: "Please think about it, slave girl. I just counted it two days ago. My lady sent someone to buy some food to give away yesterday. It cost eight taels of silver. Now I still have one." One thousand eight hundred and twenty-six taels.”
"Sister, how much money did you pay for Yunhua Building?" Meng Wan said and shook her head: "No matter what, it will not be less than ten thousand taels. I still know the prices of these shops in the capital."
"Miss, Yunhua Building is so big and the location is good... I'm afraid it will cost 20,000 taels." Xuemei said from the side.
"It seems... I am the poorest one." Meng Wan felt that it would be impossible for her to open a shop like her elder sister.
"Second sister, don't worry. The reason why I have money on hand is because when I got married, the elders in the house gave me as much money as possible. Although I didn't get married successfully, my elders didn't ask me to give back the money, so I We have plenty of money, and my second sister will definitely gain a lot when she gets married next year." Meng Shu said with a smile.
After hearing her words, Meng Wan was immediately comforted and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "So, when I get married, I will have a lot of money in my hands."
"Of course. In addition to the money in the box given by relatives and elders, your future husband will definitely leave the family money to you. My second sister wants to buy a shop and do business in the future. Isn't that easy? Moreover, ...The second aunt will definitely give you a dowry shop," Meng Shu said with a smile.
Meng Wan was very happy when she heard this. She was already full and took a few more sips of the sweet soup, feeling very happy.
Seeing her like this, Meng Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the second sister gets married and stays in the capital, it will be fine, otherwise she will really become the target of public criticism.
It would be great if the Meng family had a daughter like her.
Meng Wan had a sweet dream of counting money, but little did she know that Meng Shu's Yunhua Building was bought by someone after she returned to the capital, and even the Anxi Escort Bureau's territory was the same.
None of it was her dowry.
The two sisters finished their lunch and just came down from the second floor when they found that the lobby on the first floor was full of people, and they were not ordinary people, but richly dressed young men and ladies.
Everyone looked at Meng Shu with eager eyes, even a little excited, as if students had seen a world-famous Confucian scholar who they had admired for a long time.
Those young masters are embarrassed to get involved, but the daughters' families have no such worries.
They swarmed up and surrounded Meng Shu.
"Hello, Sister Meng. I am the daughter of the Liu family in the west of the city. My maiden name is Qingqing. My father is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. My father often said that the Meng family is a loyal family, and the British Duke is a hero among men. I admire my sister very much. There will be a reward in our house next month. I wonder if Sister Meng can come to the flower banquet? "
Meng Shu was a little confused when she saw the excited girl in front of her with a pleading look in her eyes.
Firstly, they were too enthusiastic, and secondly... they didn't even know each other before.
Not to mention...flower viewing next month?
The weather in Beijing is already a bit cold in September. What flowers can we enjoy?
Before she could refuse, another woman grabbed Meng Shu's sleeve: "Sister Meng, my name is Ma Yuelin, and my father is the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion. Like Sister Meng, I like to use the hidden sword. Can you give me some advice? A few months ago, I made an appointment to play polo with some of my sisters. It would be a blessing for us if Sister Meng can go together!”
"Sister Meng, I am from the He family..."
"I'm from the Zhang family..."
The girls all proposed themselves and wanted to invite Meng Shu to play.
At the beginning, everyone was still following the rules. After you say something, I will say it. Later, you pushed me and me, rushing to get forward, chattering incessantly, for fear that you would be late and not invite Meng Shu.
Not to mention Meng Shu, even everyone watching around the west was dumbfounded by this scene.
When did a woman become so sought after by these ladies?
In the past, if they met someone better than themselves, these girls would not say anything on the surface, but they would definitely be jealous in their hearts.
Not saying sarcastic words is already considered polite, so how can you be so eager to flatter someone?
What happened today?
Did everyone suddenly change their gender?
Or was it that what Meng Shu did today really impressed them?
Meng Shu was not afraid of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but she was so overwhelmed by these enthusiastic girls that she almost broke out in a cold sweat.
What should she do?
To agree or not to agree?
If she agrees, won't she have to attend seventeen banquets next month?
This doesn’t stop people from living!
If she doesn't agree, these beautiful girls will look at her eagerly. If she refuses, they will definitely cry.
How will it end then?
Meng Shu has one head and two heads.
Meng Wan, who was on the side, saw that her sister's face was frozen with laughter, and she couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering twice.
I didn’t expect that someone as powerful as my eldest sister would be helpless sometimes.
Fortunately, the eldest sister is from a girl's family. If he were a man, surrounded by so many ladies, it would really be impossible to end it.
"Sisters, sisters... don't be anxious. After you go back, let someone send the post to our British government. As long as my eldest sister is free, she will definitely go." Meng Wan said loudly.
"We have something to do in the house, so I'll take my leave now. Ladies, see you later!" Meng Shu waited for Meng Wan to finish speaking, then pulled her sister and left.
She was really scared.
I don’t know how those men with so many warblings and swallows in the backyard survived.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if we don’t mention the weird ones like King Wei, they are in the minority after all.
"Let's go back and write a post. I must be the first to invite Sister Meng to visit our Liu family!" Liu Qingqing said and left quickly with the maid.
"I'm going back first, sister Qi, see you another day!"
"Sister He, I'm leaving first..."
As soon as Meng Shu left, these noble ladies from aristocratic families quickly dispersed.
Those gentlemen who were watching the excitement looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said a word.
They were just here to watch the fun, what were their thoughts?
I dare not do that!
