After Rebirth, I Became the Treacherous Minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 131 Xiao Jiu has incredible connections

Meng Qianqian touched her chin.

The bearded neighbor turned out to be a carpenter, and he didn't treat Baoshu like a villain. Why did he get into a fight with Ji Li?

It must be Ji Li who provoked them!

Next door, Ji Li, who was suffering the humiliation of his buttocks, sneezed hard.

Meng Qianqian said again: "Grandma Feng, do you know which other neighbors live in the alley?"

Grandma Feng said, "We're almost gone. There's a blacksmith opposite you, but he doesn't live there all the time. He probably lives more often than the carpenter."

Meng Qianqian once heard Chun's mother say that in the early years, many people who lived in Feng Shui Hutong relied on craftsmanship to make a living. If it hadn't been for the murder, this must have been the busiest alley in the capital.

"And then..."

Grandma Feng hesitated, "That's all. That guy probably won't come back and you won't meet him. They don't like to be disturbed, so just say I introduced you."

Meng Qianqian did not ask Granny Feng who the guy who should not come back was. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Granny Feng. What should I call him?"

Granny Feng said: "His surname is Lei."

Meng Qianqian came out of Granny Feng's house, went back to the house, picked out a basket of fresh fruits, and carried it to the end of the alley.

The courtyard door was locked, but the clear sound of chopping could be heard in the courtyard.

Meng Qianqian knocked on the courtyard door.

No one responded at first, but Meng Qianqian was not discouraged and continued to knock.

Finally, the bearded man opened the courtyard door impatiently, and his domineering aura roared out: "Are you looking for death?"

Meng Qianqian smiled and raised the fruit basket in her hand: "Hello Uncle Lei, I'm here to buy a bed."

It doesn't matter if it's good or not, the point is to take care of the neighborhood's business.

The bearded man looked away from her fruit basket and asked solemnly: "Mr. Feng asked you to come here?"

Meng Qianqian nodded.

The bearded man was holding a giant ax and said in an angry voice, "Does that old immortal really think his face is useful?"

Meng Qianqian blinked: "It doesn't work."

The bearded man turned and walked towards the main room: "Come in."

Meng Qianqian: “…”

Meng Qianqian carried the fruit basket into the yard.

As expected of a carpenter, the ground was full of wood that he had chopped out one by one with his axe. Meng Qianqian thought of the durable wood in her grandma's house, wondering if it was also made by him.

The other party's home was bigger than Meng Qianqian imagined, especially after passing through the main room, Meng Qianqian saw an extremely wide backyard with many sculptures placed haphazardly, but they seemed to be only half-done.

"Uncle Lei, are these all ordered by others?"

"no."

As he spoke, he threw a Haidong green wood sculpture into the brazier of the stove house.

"Uncle Lei, that...don't you want it?"

Meng Qianqian was surprised.

Although it was not finished, it was definitely the most lifelike wood carving she had ever seen.

The bearded man said in disgust: "It's not done well."

Meng Qianqian stopped talking.

"There's only one bed, take it if you want it."

The bearded man pushed open the door of the warehouse. There was only a large bed covered with a cloth in the huge warehouse. Judging from the outline and size, it should be a bed.

Meng Qianqian felt that an ordinary Babu bed was enough. After all, Qiangong beds were not available as they were all custom-made three years in advance.

"That's it."

Meng Qianqian said.

The bearded man glanced at Meng Qianqian in surprise: "Don't you want to take a look? If you don't like it, I won't refund the money to you."

Meng Qianqian smiled: "I know!"

The bearded man said: "Five hundred taels."

Meng Qianqian was shocked.

The bearded man frowned: "Is it expensive? Then, three hundred taels."

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Uncle Lei."

The bearded man didn't quite know the price on the market. It didn't seem to be this price back then.

He pondered for a moment and made up his mind: "One hundred taels."

Meng Qianqian: “…”

Meng Qianqian finally gave him five hundred taels. Her conscience would hurt for one hundred taels.

Grandma Li learned about Meng Qianqian's purchase of the bed. When she heard that it only cost five hundred taels of silver, she became anxious.

Can a five hundred tael bed be used as a wedding bed for a wealthy family?

The worst person outside gets a thousand taels!

"No, I have to go take a look!"

Aunt Li took Aunt Wan, Aunt Hu, and Madam Du to the bearded man's house to look at the bed.

After seeing it, the four of them were silent.

"Do you want to retreat?" the bearded man asked.

Aunt Li hesitated and said: "No, no... don't retreat!"

The three of them walked out with weak legs.

"Our lady...did she deceive others?" For the first time, Nanny Wan felt her conscience hurt.

"Is it really only five hundred taels?" Madam Du asked sarcastically.

Aunt Hu said: "When the eldest lady married into the Lu family, the Qiangong bed that was moved here was not as good as this one."

Grandma Li cleared her throat and continued to stutter: "Don't, don't, say goodbye, go back, go back, go back... go."

The weather is getting warmer and the wedding date is getting closer.

But Meng Qianqian actually has a lot of free time. Apart from practicing martial arts every day, she spends time with Baoshu. Occasionally she goes to her grandmother's house to help her repair the stove and so on.

As a thank you, Granny Feng gave Meng Qianqian a skeleton.

"I have treasured it for a long time, but I am not willing to give it to others."

Meng Qianqian smiled politely: "Thank you so much, Granny Feng."

This day is the day when all civil and military officials take a break, and it is also the day when Meng Qianqian goes to the Lin family for an appointment.

Meng Qianqian called Yu Li.

Yu Li said: "Should I go too?"

Meng Qianqian said: "Cousin, don't you want to go?"

Yu Li hurriedly said: "No, I'm afraid that you are all female dependents, will it be inconvenient for me to go?"

Meng Qianqian smiled: "There are no outsiders this time, only Mrs. Lin's family."

Lin family.

Mrs. Lin has been giving instructions since last night. There are distinguished guests coming to the house today, so we must not neglect them.

Even her husband was left at home by her and was not allowed to go anywhere.

"Ma'am, does it have to be like this?"

"Just this once!"

Early in the morning, the maid reported that a guest had arrived.

Mrs. Lin went to greet him with a smile. When she saw the person coming, her face darkened: "Why is it you? I don't think I invited you!"

Mrs. Zhou smiled wildly: "If you don't invite me, I have to come."

Zhou Nanyan, dressed as a maid, jumped out of the carriage: "Aunt Lin!"

Mrs. Lin immediately changed her face and said with a smile: "It's Yan'er, come in quickly!"

Zhou Nanyan smiled and held Mrs. Lin's arm.

At this time, Meng Qianqian and Yu Li also arrived.

Tan'er didn't come, so she followed Uncle Meng and the others to the Governor's Mansion to arrange the marriage bed.

Meng Qianqian brought Pinellia ternata.

Zhou Nanyan's eyes lit up and she shouted quietly: "Sister Meng, Pinellia ternata!"

Meng Qianqian curled her lips.

Banxia quickly saluted: "Zhou..."

Zhou Nanyan stopped her and whispered: "Okay, okay, I am also a maid today."

"Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Zhou." Meng Qianqian saluted the two ladies as juniors.

Yu Li also bowed her hands respectfully: "Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Zhou."

Mrs. Lin looked at Yu Li with a smile and said to the boy beside her: "Take Mr. Yu to the study."

Yu Li didn't think much and followed the boy.

At the door of the study, the boy reported respectfully: "Master, Mr. Yu has arrived."

Yu Li was stunned, Master? Mr. Lin’s father?

He thought he was here to see Mr. Lin.

"Come in."

A majestic voice came from inside.

Yuli calmed down, stepped inside, followed etiquette, and did not look directly at the other person's face. He could only vaguely catch a glimpse of a figure sitting behind a desk through his peripheral vision, which made people confused.

He bowed his hands and said, "Junior, I have met Mr. Lin."

Mr. Lin's father seemed to be an official, but he didn't know what official position he was in.

Lin Zhengliang looked at him and said, "Are you Yu Li?"

Yu Li said: "Yes."

Lin Zhengliang pointed to the small desk opposite: "Let's get started."

Yu Li was startled: "Huh?"

Lin Jijiu said sternly: "Take the test paper! If you don't take the test, how will I know how knowledgeable you are? Are you qualified to enter the Imperial College?"

Yuli: (⊙o⊙)

Haha, do you know how Mrs. Lin got Xiaojiu into her home?
