Chapter 198 Another big disaster
Once the Tongji incident was over, Meng Tan nestled in the small courtyard in Xinghuali and did not go out for several days.

Not only was she physically tired, she was also mentally tired.

Just to bring down the thunder that day, and to ensure that no one except Tong Ji was harmed, the effort she expended was only enough for her to support her return to this small courtyard.

Rather than saying that she was recuperating, it was better to say that she had slept in a daze for a few days and finally regained her energy.

But she didn't know that there was a lot of rumors outside about her death by lightning, and no one knew that she had returned to Xinghuali and only found Zhenyuan Guan.

Regarding Zhenyuan Temple, Old Taoist Xuanqing has some real abilities, and he really made the Taoist Temple popular.

Zhenyuan Temple has regained its former glory. There is an endless stream of pilgrims every day, and almost all the people in Zhenyuan Temple are busy.

At this time, Meng Tan was still confused. She felt that the surroundings were quiet, and she felt as if she had forgotten something.

Jewelry month!

Meng Tan slapped his forehead.

She didn't know how many days she slept in the house, but she forgot about the two girls.

As she hurriedly put on her clothes, Meng Tan felt that the person entertaining her in the Du family was not Xin Wuniang, but Du Mingzhu, Du Jiheng's sister.

She looked like she was no more than thirteen years old, and her face was very soft, which was completely different from Xin Wu Niang's anxious temper. "Aunt Meng, please forgive me, my mother has been busy with business these days, and Bao Shuyue is also well at the Du family. Aunt, please don't worry."

Meng Tan touched her nose. She was not worried. She was so worried that she fell asleep.

"Haha, your mother's business is very good." Meng Tan said politely.

Unexpectedly, Du Mingzhu was really worried. He sighed and said: "No, the merchant ship transporting goods to Su County in Yangzhou was hijacked. It was said that there were bandits making trouble. The merchants in Su County in Yangzhou were making trouble. I Mom is taking care of this."

"The gangsters are causing trouble?" Meng Tan frowned, and her heart tightened, inexplicably remembering what Chen Changan said.

Could these gangsters have anything to do with the Southern Jin Dynasty?
"Yes, in recent days, not only the cargo ships of grain merchants, tea merchants and cloth merchants in the city have been robbed, but the prices of grain and other things in Changhe Town have also increased."

Du Mingzhu was thinking worriedly when he looked up and saw that Meng Tan was frowning and didn't know what he was worried about. He felt guilty, "It's true that I talked too much and bothered my aunt."

Meng Tan smiled and was about to speak when a burst of fighting came from outside the hospital, preceded by Du Jiheng's rather aggrieved voice, "You are lying, your calculations are not accurate, you have lied to me several times! You are just not good at studying. !”

Then came Baozhu's weak but strong voice, "That's half right. You've already suffered a lot, and you still believe me. You're so stupid!"

"Little liar!"

"Silly goose!"

If you ask children who gets embarrassed when they quarrel or fight, it has to be the adults.

In the hall, Meng Tan and Du Mingzhu both smiled awkwardly.

"My little brother is a little naughty..."

"My daughter is a little bit off..."

The two said in unison, feeling awkward again.

In the embarrassment, three little beans ran in. When they saw their mother, Bao Zhuyue's eyes turned red. Bao Yue was okay, but Bao Zhu couldn't bear it at all and threw herself into Meng Tan's arms while crying.

"Mom, why did it take you so long to come? Do you not want us anymore?"

Baoyue also shed tears and softly shouted, "Mother..."

Oops, Meng Tan's heart almost melted. He hugged the two girls and rubbed them together. "Mom, I have something to do. I'm late. I will take you home right now."

After saying that, they exchanged polite greetings with Du Jiheng and his brother. Before leaving, both siblings looked at Bao and Zhui Yue with envy. Meng Tan couldn't bear to look at them, "You can go to Xinghua to hunt for Bao and Zhui Yue when you have time."

Du Mingzhu looked horrified, "I've already made an engagement. It's hard to go. I'll disappoint my aunt, but Ah Heng can go." Unexpectedly, Du Jiheng didn't give him face, and raised his head with red eyes, "Humph, I won't go, Chen Baoyue Always lie to me."

"Who lied to you? It's just that you're not good at studying... I'll be smart next time..." Baoyue curled her lips and glanced at Du Jiheng, as if she wanted to say something, but that little arrogance came up again, and she didn't want to admit defeat.

These are simply a pair of enemies. Meng Tan laughed and straightened his face, "Baoyue, is this what your mother taught you? People in Xuanmen are most taboo about lying."

Baoyue's face suddenly turned red and she looked at Du Jiheng in annoyance, "Okay, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you. Next time you come, I will apologize to you again. I have nothing on hand today..."

Du Jiheng hummed a few words, then softened, and raised his head a little proudly, "Okay."

Meng Tan was very happy to see it, remembering the scene when she got into trouble when she was a child, waiting for the old magician to support her. At that time, she should have looked like these two children.

Ugh……

After saying goodbye to the two siblings and passing by the street, Meng Tan specifically asked about the price of rice and noodles. As expected, it was more than twice as expensive as before.

Meng Tan was worried again and took his two daughters to the Yamen to look for Cui Ping. When he asked, he didn't come back.

Okay, she was the only one left to suffer from internal dissatisfaction.

Of course it was impossible. When she returned to Xinghuali, Meng Tan took the turtle shell and prepared a hexagram to ask about Cui Ping's well-being. But when she got the turtle shell, she felt a faint panic in her heart.

It was like there was a sharp sword hanging above her head, making her unable to calm down, so she changed her question. She asked, what is the future of Jixian?

This time it was thrown successfully, and I saw the hexagram.

Bad luck!

Meng Tan's vision suddenly went dark.

What does it mean to be a big bad guy in a county!
Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable!
Or both.

Meng Tan pressed his forehead and calculated carefully according to the hexagrams. The more he calculated, the more alarming he became.

The ground was covered with blood, the killing spirit was strong, and the bones were exposed in the wild.

War disaster!

Meng Tan's heart was beating wildly, and he forced himself to calm down and read the divination. He knew that there was still some time before the military disaster would come, and he could still make some preparations.

She first went to find Chen Chang'an and told him about the hexagram, saying: "It is better to bring you and Miss Shen closer together. After you get married, you will take your brothers and sisters to Jinle. Originally, I wanted to buy a second place. The house is for you to get married, but it looks like it won’t work now.”

Chen Changan called her and she felt flustered for a while, "Mom, won't you follow us?"

"Why are you leaving! I want to earn merit, so be obedient. Your second brother and sister are pregnant, and they are both unstable and young. Don't cause trouble to me here."

Realizing that his tone was a bit serious, Meng Tan quickly softened his tone, which made Chen Changan even more uneasy, "Don't worry, mother, I have to go to my second and third brothers to discuss this matter first."

"Then I'll go with you."

Chen Changyun was easy to find, but Chen Changsheng was not easy to find. The three of them met on the way to Shen's house. At that time, Chen Changsheng looked cheerful, as if he had made a fortune.

The three brothers discussed it on the way and agreed not to leave.

"Mom, our family's business has just started. We can't take advantage of my sister-in-law's dowry. How embarrassing?" This was Chen Changsheng's reason.

He has been to ghost places like the Southern Jin Dynasty, and he is still afraid of war?
What's more, there is still a mother here. Chen Changsheng now has blind confidence in Meng Tan.

"Mom, I also agree with what my second brother said." Chen Changyun's eyes were wandering, as if he was thinking of something.

"There is no need to shorten the wedding date. My third brother and I will personally send the female family members and Miss Shen's family to Jinle, while the three of us brothers will stay."

Chen Changan pondered for a while and said this carefully.
