Chapter 104
Suddenly, there was a coughing sound at the door.Meng Duo immediately seemed to be dispelled of magic, his body and head were all working, and he pushed him away and ran out.

When she reached the door, she almost bumped into Meng Da, she didn't even dare to raise her head and ran to the small kitchen behind.She closed the door, leaned against the door panel and panted slightly, and it took a while for her to regain her composure.

Meng Duo looked down at the silver bracelet on his wrist. The patterns on it were simple and old, and some places were severely worn due to wearing it all year round.It can be seen that this bracelet is of some age, and... not very valuable.

It seems that the Ji family is not a rich and powerful family, thinking of this, Meng Duo felt a little joy in his heart.After thinking about it, she scolded herself for being too frivolous, what does the Ji family have to do with her?Didn't she plan to be a widow for second brother Meng for the rest of her life?How long has it been since, how could she have other thoughts?

Thinking of this, she tried to take off the bracelet, but the bracelet was relatively small and firmly stuck on her wrist.She wanted to open the opening a little bit, but the bracelet was a bit strange, the joints were tightly seamed.She fiddled with it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, how did Ji Wuqi put it on just now?
The person who needs to tie the bell to untie it, she went out to look for Ji Wuqi, saw him alone in the east room, packing something with his back to the door.

She went in and saw an open bundle on the kang, with two clothes and a purse inside.It was made by Meng Duo himself and given to him as a gadget, which he always wears on his body.

Meng Duo suddenly remembered what he told Meng Da that he was going to leave, and he felt some inexplicable feelings in his heart.

How can such two clothes be enough?She turned around and went back to the west room, dug out some fabrics from the cabinet, and wanted to make a dress before tomorrow morning.She hurriedly started to work, but forgot her original intention of finding Ji Wuqi.

She stayed up until almost morning, and made a slightly thicker robe and a pair of shoes and socks.

After squinting for a while, it was dawn, and she hurriedly got up to cook.The dinner table was full of Ji Wuqi's favorite dishes, but he didn't move his chopsticks much.

"These dishes are Wufu's favorite, but now..." Sanchun stopped in the middle of speaking, and Meng Duo's face darkened.

Since Wufu became Ji Wuqi, the atmosphere at home has become dull and weird, and the jokes at the dinner table have disappeared.Right now, as soon as Miharu's words came out of his mouth, the atmosphere became more and more tense.

"If you don't come back after one year, our agreement will be canceled automatically." Meng Da felt unhappy when he thought of Ji Wuqi's words on the night of drinking.He wished that Ji Wuqi would never come back again, so as not to mess up their lives.

Ji Wuqi was speechless, and glanced at the table on Meng Duo's wrist, a smile flickered at the corner of his mouth, and his rigid and serious look returned in an instant.

Meng Duo packed the clothes, shoes and socks that he had made overnight in his bag, and also some dry food and silver taels.She doesn't know the destination of Ji Wuqi's trip, so be prepared.

Although Meng Da didn't soften his words, he still took out 20 taels of silver, "I can't do without this vulgar thing outside, and I will pay back the principal with interest in one year!"

"I have my own way." Ji Wuqi did not accept.

Hearing what he said, Meng Da didn't say much.Meng Duo and others escorted him out of the gate, and they felt a little disappointed when they saw him gallop away on the horse without looking back.

When he got back to the house, Meng Duo found that the money he stuffed into his bag was actually on the kang.It's really worrying to go out without a penny.

But life has to go on as usual, the business in the store is very busy, without Ji Wuqi, it becomes very inconvenient for Meng Duo to travel to and from the town.Meng Da specially hired an old coachman with money for Meng Duo's use, and occasionally went to help pull some goods in his free time.

This coachman was an old man, he was honest and drove the carriage steadily, and Meng Da was completely at ease when he came and went.

Recently, as the seasons changed, more and more people ordered autumn clothes, so Meng Duo took the work home to do.

Si Ya's female celebrity was taught by Meng Duo, and now she has seven or eight points of her true biography, which can help.

Meng Da put up a sign outside the shop to collect furs. Recently, a lot of them have been sent in. He couldn't handle them by himself, so he hired another expert in this field.More and more people are hired, and the cost is also high.The money is all pressed on the cloth and furs, and the money that can be moved in the shop is getting less and less pitiful.

Dou Hua came over with her girl and mother-in-law, and saw the guy sticking a "No Credit" banner on the wall.

"I have a few hundred taels of silver with you, and I keep it for nothing. If you are short of silver, you can use it." Dou Hua said to Meng Duo, "My brother-in-law is not a stable person. In the evening, I only know about wiping cigarettes, painting powder, eating, drinking and having fun, but my mother and the others can’t hold her back, and I don’t dare to spend money at home even if I have money. Wait until she has a baby, and my brother and I can grow up before making plans.”

"How can I do that? Besides, it's not for the sake of it. Uncle's business is solid, and he will not ignore risks. After these days, it will be fine in winter. You came here just in time, and I have prepared good things for you. " Meng Duo smiled and took out a large cloak from the cabinet.

It's not that Dou Hua has never seen good things before. She has several fur clothes like this, but the one in front of her caught her eyes.

"It's so beautiful!" She stretched out her hand to touch it. "The workmanship is exquisite and the pattern is special. Madam has a cloak bought from the provincial capital. I don't think it is as expensive as this one."

"As long as you like it." Meng Duo replied with a smile.

"You did this? How much silver?"

"Who is going to sell it to you?" Meng Duo glared at her.

"It's too expensive!" Dou Hua touched the cloak with eyes full of liking, "Don't worry, I'll put it on when it gets colder. Then go around to them and make sure they all rush to buy it."

Now Douhua is considered a little embarrassing in the town, because after giving birth to a golden horse, her status in the Wang family is almost equal to that of the wife of the main house.With Mr. Wang in charge, her daily expenses for food and clothing are the standard of the royal family, and when she walks outside, others will call her Second Madam.

She got acquainted with some noble ladies from rich families, and they walked around each other on weekdays, just comparing each other's clothes.

"That's what I mean." Meng Duo smiled, "Your complexion is healthy, and I dyed the hair around the collar with a light green color to make your face look brighter."

"Your mouth is more dexterous. No matter your complexion is healthy, you can do all kinds of rough work even when you are young. No matter how much powder you put on now, it will not be white and tender. I can't figure it out. You also grew up eating bran and swallowing vegetables, and you did a lot of work in the fields. But the skin is not black. Now that you have been doing housework all year round, your little face is getting whiter and tenderer, as if you can get water when you pinch it." Douhua said while stretching out her hand to twist it.

Meng Duo grinned and dodged, the two were teasing Gillian to find her, saying that there was a guest calling for Meng Duo to measure her body.

"Sit down first, I have something to tell you when I come back." Meng Duo asked her to drink tea and snacks first, and then went to the front.
