The cooking color is delicious, general, don't bite me

Chapter 123 What kind of bad scholar?
"What's the matter?" Meng Fuling asked, Zhu Xiang and Ju Xiang had been with her for a few days, and they both had good personalities.

Especially Zhuxiang, who is much smarter than Juxiang, maybe because she just came to her house and is not familiar with her, so she is a little timid.

"Miss, forgive me for speaking bluntly, your third uncle can't get any money, but it only takes a few days to treat your third aunt like this, there may be fraud in it."

Zhu Xiang hesitated for a long time before daring to speak out, as a servant, how could he talk about his master's affairs indiscriminately?Furthermore, she only came to this house on the day that Senior Official Shan came to the door, and the time was short.

She was quite afraid that Meng Fuling would be dissatisfied with her because of this, but these past few days, Meng Fuling had treated her very well, so she couldn't help but remind her.

Seeing that Meng Fuling had listened to her, she remained silent for a long time, looking at her with probing eyes, which made her very uneasy, and regretted that she was talking too much.

After a while, Meng Fuling withdrew her probing eyes and said with a smile, "You're right."

She didn't say anything, but Zhuxiang plopped down on her knees, "Miss, this servant didn't tell you the truth, please punish me."

"What else did you not tell me?" Meng Fuling asked with a half-smile.

When buying these servants, she found out their details before she dared to bring them home.

This Zhuxiang was sold by her parents to a rich family as a maid because her family was too poor. It didn't take long for the family to lose and she was sold again.

At that time, Meng Fuling saw that her eyes were clear, asked a few words, and felt that her character should be good, so she stayed.

But this time, Meng Fuling felt that she might have been mistaken. Zhuxiang's words could not be said by a peasant girl who had just become a maid.

"Miss, this servant shouldn't hide it from you. After the servant was a criminal minister, my father was convicted, and the servant was also sold as a slave..."

Zhuxiang was sold several times, and during one sale, she happened to meet a woman of her age who was seriously ill.

Then she moved her mind, took the initiative to take care of the woman, and took the opportunity to ask out the woman's origin and name, and after the woman died, she would take her place.

There were too many people, and those people couldn't remember who was who, so they regarded her as dead, and she became that woman and was sold to Qishan County.

"Why do you want to replace that woman's identity?" Meng Fuling was a little puzzled, so she couldn't be sold?

"Because after becoming a criminal minister, even if you sell yourself as a slave, you are still an official slave. According to the law of our dynasty, an official slave will never be expelled as a slave, which is worse than ordinary slaves." Zhu Xiang said while weeping.

Meng Fuling couldn't help feeling a tinge of pity in her heart. Although it was wrong for Zhuxiang to replace someone else's identity, she was also forced to do nothing. No one wanted to bear the title of official slave and never stand up.

In any case, as long as Zhuxiang is willing to tell her the truth, she intends to accept Zhuxiang, hoping that it will not bring her any trouble.

"I don't need to pursue your identity, but you should keep your mouth shut. Don't publicize this matter. If it causes me unnecessary trouble, don't blame me for being rude."

Those who should be beaten still have to be beaten, lest something happens in the future, it will be too late.

Meng Fuling didn't pursue it, and was willing to accept Zhuxiang, which made Zhuxiang very grateful, and made up her mind to serve Meng Fuling well.

******
Not to mention what was going on in Meng Fuling's house, the senior official Shan closed the door in broad daylight, and made troubles with Widow Liu on the kang.

"What do you think Meng Fuling really helped Meng Qiuchan get ahead?" Senior Officer Shan gasped as he worked hard on Widow Liu.

"You are stupid, who would support others when they are full? So what if she is Meng Fuling's third aunt, and she hasn't seen each other for many years? Besides, Meng Fuling has long since severed ties with the old Meng family. "Widow Liu was so comfortable that she kept humming non-stop, and when she heard what Shan Daguan said, she replied pantingly.

Before he could speak, Widow Liu continued: "However, Meng Qiuchan went to Meng Fuling like that. To avoid gossip, Meng Fuling will definitely take Meng Qiuchan home to take care of her. When the time is almost up, you can come to see me again. Let’s just say that Meng Qiuchan lost her child at Meng Fuling’s house, so you can make a fortune at that time.”

"You're right, I'll come to the door tomorrow, and this time I have to let her spit out 800 taels of silver." Shan Daguan nodded.

"Is this what you said? You didn't get 800 taels, so don't touch my body in the future." Widow Liu squeezed him hard, and said coquettishly.

"Ouch! Auntie, be gentle, if the pinch is broken, it won't be able to make you feel better..." Shan Daguan let out a pained cry, and then, he was full of **** words, while tossing hard stand up.

It was almost noon, when their stomachs were growling with hunger, that they stopped exercising on the kang.

Official Shan still wanted to take Widow Liu to the city for a good meal, but when he touched the pot with copper coins at home, there were only two copper coins left in it, and he felt embarrassed.

"Bah! With these two broken copper coins, what else can I eat? It's not enough to buy a bowl of noodles in clear soup!" Widow Liu immediately turned cold when she saw the two copper coins.

"Dear, don't be angry, don't be angry, how about we go to Meng Fuling's house to eat?" Senior Officer Shan proposed to appease Widow Liu.

"You're still a scholar, why are you so stupid? I eloped with Cheng Jiabao before, Meng Fuling might hate me, and how could she let me in? If the Cheng family knew that I was back, they would definitely make trouble with me." Widow Liu gave Shan Daguan an angry look.

"Cheng Jiabao ran with you voluntarily, and you didn't force him to do so." Official Shan said disapprovingly.

He didn't know the real reason why Widow Liu and Cheng Jiabao fell through, so he didn't know that Widow Liu was actually guilty.

"You can go by yourself, remember to bring something delicious to come back." Widow Liu's eyes flashed a strange color, she pinched the "key point" of Shan Daguan, and drove him off the kang.

If Shan Daguan hadn't kept saying that he could get a lot of money from Meng Fuling, she wouldn't want to be with this poor scholar.

******
In fact, Shan Daguan was ridiculed by Meng Fuling a few days ago, and he was a little apprehensive about going to her house again.

But if he can't get the money, Widow Liu won't be with him. He can't bear to part with Widow Liu's soft body and ecstatic skills.

Therefore, Shan Daguan had no choice but to bite the bullet and knock on the door of Meng Fuling's house.

Meng Fuling's family now has two concierges, both of whom recognize Senior Official Shan, leaving one to continue guarding the gate, and the other to report to Meng Fuling.

Not long after, she came back and said, "My lady told me that you can only go in after you take off your shoes."

"Why? I didn't have this rule last time when I came here?" Shan Daguan was very dissatisfied when he heard that, how could he have to take off his shoes to enter someone's house?

"Miss tells you to take it off, you take it off! Pull it off if you don't want to! Don't let your stinky feet dirty the floor of our house." The concierge disliked the greasy-faced people like Senior Officer Shan, and said in a bad tone.

"I'm a dignified scholar, how dare you be rude to me?" Senior official Shan is a scholar, even if he sees the magistrate, he doesn't have to kneel down, but now he is told to take off his shoes by two guards, and he feels deeply humiliated.

"Hmph! He's just a poor scholar, he really thinks he's an onion!" One of the gatekeepers snorted, anyway, Meng Fuling had explained that there was no need to be polite to the senior official Shan.

"You, you two slaves are simply too deceitful. I am Meng Fuling's third uncle. How could you be so disrespectful to me?" Shan Daguan was so angry that his face turned blue, except for flirting with women. Outside of the hanging book bag, where would you quarrel with others?

It is not easy to produce a scholar from ten miles and eight villages. No matter how poor a single senior official is, he is always respected and praised by the villagers wherever he goes, and he always thinks that he is superior to others.

Now that he encountered this situation, he didn't know how to deal with it.

"I'm sick!" The two porters spat, and they didn't bother to talk to him anymore, they just wanted to close the door.

"Don't close it! I'll take it off!" Seeing this, Shan Daguan hurried forward to stop him. In order to see Meng Fuling, he had to compromise.

Shan Daguan took off his shoes and put them outside the door, but as soon as he entered the door, one of the porters threw his shoes away.

The other concierge had just arrived not long ago, and he was still a little apprehensive, "Are we going too far?"

"What's too much? Since the lady said that you don't have to be polite to this kind of person, it means that he is not a fun guy." In the eyes of the concierge, the person Meng Fuling doesn't like is definitely not a good person.

Look again, Shan Daguan entered the room and saw Meng Fuling's family having lunch around the table. Most of the dishes on the table were something he had never seen before, and they looked very delicious, causing him to keep swallowing because of his hunger. .

"Shan Xiucai is here, Zhuxiang quickly add some tableware." Meng Fuling looked up at Shan Xiucai, sneered, and asked Zhuxiang to add tableware.

Shan Daguan's heart skipped a beat, he didn't understand what Meng Fuling meant, why did he want to invite him to dinner when he clearly let the concierge humiliate him?

He wouldn't naively think that Meng Fuling was really kind, so he shook his head and said, "There's no need to eat, I'm here to find Qiuchan."
