Mingmen Family

Chapter 280 Retribution
Meng Xianzong suppressed the anger in his heart, and Jiaxing's anger was not small.

Meng Xianzong knew how to urge them to find a way, why didn't he say that he wanted to ask someone to do something, but he didn't dare to bear the consequences?He repeatedly told them not to let people know that the Meng family was plotting against Ye Yaming; but he didn't go out, what good solution could they think of?

However, the body deed was still in Meng Xianzong's hands, and Jia Xing also suppressed the anger in his heart, pretended to be obedient, and replied with downcast eyes: "Okay, master, the villain knows."

There is a curfew in the capital at night, Ye Yaming will not go out, and Young Master Qian will stay at home.At this time, the three of Jia'an can breathe a sigh of relief, they don't have to go out and stare at them anymore.

That night, the three of them gathered in Jia'an's house to drink and talk.

"It's been a few more days, and it's time to get married in a few days. I don't think Ye Yaming will go out. If this matter can't be done, what should we do?" Jia An took a sip depressed wine, asked.

His mother-in-law has been introduced by someone in the past few days, and she has taken a fancy to a small house, which is cheap and has a good location.The homeowner wanted to raise money after losing a bet, so he planned to sell the idle house.The only requirement is to be quick, after all, the creditor waits for no one.

Therefore, the mother-in-law asked him every day when the tasks entrusted by the master would be completed, so that they could regain their freedom, buy a house and settle down.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Jia An narrowed his eyes slightly and said again: "Do you think, even if we finish the matter well, can he really repay our body deed?"

The three were silent.

Now there is only one old housekeeper left in the Meng family, three maidservants serving the Kong family, two personal servants serving Meng Xianzong and their three families.Some of their wives, mothers and children work in the kitchen, some wait on the young lady at home, and some take care of cleaning the stall.

If the three of them were released, there would be only six servants left in the Meng family.The maids and mothers-in-law around Kong are all her confidantes. They were originally the deputy daughters of the family, and there were also little maids to serve them.The two servants beside Meng Xianzong were similar.

The three of them are gone, can these people cook a meal?Are you afraid of starving to death?

Besides, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, the Meng family seemed to be in decline, moved to this relatively small house, dismissed the concubines, and sold many servants, but the three of Jia'an knew that it was for the British. The government sees it.

Meng Xianzong not only owns three shops, but also hundreds of acres of land, which can definitely afford to support the three families.If the three of them were released, he would have to buy new servants again.

But how can a new servant be as good as an old man?Don't talk about those kitchen cleaners, just talk about the three of them who can do things like this, where can I find them?
At first, everyone was dazzled by Meng Xianzong's promise, but now they were reminded by Jia Anyi, and they suddenly came to their senses.

"Then what should we do?" Jiawang asked.

Among the three, Su Jia'an is the most active and has the most ruthless methods.

He stroked the wine cup with his fingers, and said, "There are only three masters left in this family. Both the wife and the fourth young lady are worthless people..."

Having said this, he stopped talking, slowly drank the wine in the glass, put down the glass, picked up a fried soybean with his chopsticks, and threw it into his mouth, chewing it until it creaked.

Both Jia Xing and Jia Wang are used to his half-spoken problem.If there is any bad idea, even if Jia An thinks of it, he will not say it, but let them experience it for themselves.

If he realized it, even if it was the idea of ​​the three of them together, this matter could be carried forward; if he didn't realize it, then he wouldn't say a word, and this matter would be fine.

The two of them thought about what Jia An said, and after thinking about it for a while, Jia Xing suddenly approached Jia An, and said in a very low voice: "You mean, if there is no master in this family..."

The corner of Jia An's mouth curled up: "You said that, I didn't say it."

Jia Wang's eyes lit up.

Why didn't he think of it?If there is no master in this family, the wife is a woman, and the fourth girl is only 12 years old, then they can do whatever they say?

He said excitedly: "I know where the master's private money is hidden."

The Meng family not only has land property and shops left, but also some very valuable gold and silver.Meng Xianzong waited for the British government to forget about them, so he took some soft goods and went out to pawn them, then made a comeback, and started business again.

Jiaxing also knew that both Meng Xianzong and the Kong family had private collections.

He thought for a while, then frowned and said, "Butler Chen is a troublemaker."

"It's not easy..." Jia An beckoned, and the three heads got together, muttering for a while.

They followed the Meng family and their sons who were used to doing bad things, and they were very calm. They waited for a few days, seeing that Ye Yaming's marriage was approaching day by day, and she still didn't go out, and the plan seemed to fail. Meng Xianzong was so angry that he wanted to curse.

Jia'an made a look of disappointment: "This matter didn't work out, it's not because we didn't do our best, it's because we couldn't find a place to contribute."

He raised his eyes and looked at Meng Xianzong expectantly: "Master, what you promised us..."

Meng Xianzong's suppressed fire suddenly broke out: "What did I promise? I promised to let you go after things are done. Is it done now? What do you say to me if things are not done? Do you think I am a great benevolent person in Ci'an Hall? "

Hearing this answer, Jia An was not surprised at all.

He said sincerely and fearfully: "Master, calm down."

As he said that, he took out a jug with pain on his face, and put it in front of Meng Xianzong: "Master, this is the imperial wine in the palace. It was given to me by a servant I met when I entered the palace with the young master. If you are in a bad mood, just tell me Butler Chen, have a drink or two."

As soon as he heard the words "Royal wine in the palace" and "Young Master", Meng Xianzong thought of his son.His son has taken over the Meng family since he was 17 years old, so he doesn't need to worry about anything.It's not like now, every day is devastated.

Ever since the news of Meng Chengwei's death came and his family was repeatedly targeted by the British government, he developed the habit of drinking to relieve his sorrows, and the person who accompanied him to drink was the housekeeper Chen who had been loyal to him for more than [-] years.

He rubbed the wine pot, and pain flashed in his eyes: "Okay, let the kitchen clean up a few dishes, and then call Butler Chen."

After a while, Meng Xianzong had a drink with Steward Chen, and they drank until late at night.

"Brother Jiafu, this is the snack made by my mother. The master and the others don't know how long they are drinking, are you hungry? Eat some snacks to fill your stomach." A little maid went to Meng Xianzong's servant with a plate , gave him a plate of snacks.

"Thank you, Sister Chunhua, I'm really hungry. You thank Auntie for me." Jiafu was hungry and sleepy, and he was very grateful for this plate of dim sum when he was about to lose it.

He looked at the two people in the room who were already drunk and were about to slip under the table, and slowly ate a few pieces of snacks.
