Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 184 You have a nephew

Zong Shouqing pulled her to his study and asked Meng Changqing to sit down, but before she even touched her butt on the stool, a bunch of things were stuffed into her arms.

Meng Changqing took a quick look and saw that there were fabrics, needlework, calligraphy and painting accessories, which were the things that the master's wife usually liked to give her.

"Thank you, Master, for taking the trouble. If it hadn't been so late, I should have gone to say hello to Master."

"Oh, don't go." Zong Shouqing pulled up a stool and sat in front of her, "You don't know, my mother has changed a lot recently. She kept telling the same thing over and over again, and the servants who served her were all confused. Her hair is turning white, and as soon as you pass by, she will have to read it all night long."

At this point Zong Shouqing wondered, "Is it possible that women have to be like this when they get older?"

"I remember that my wife is two years younger than my master."

"Correct."

"I think there are too many trivial things, and it is inevitable to keep them in mind. If we are not busy at home, we can let Mrs. Zong and my wife go outside to relax together."

Zong Shouqing said: "For a family like ours, there is no time when we are not busy, but I really have to think of a way." At this point, he suddenly beamed, "Speaking of my wife, did you know that you have a nephew?" .”

Meng Changqing immediately said: "Congratulations to Master Zong, Mrs. Zong!"

"Come here! Go to the backyard room and ask the lady to bring the young master over to show Master Meng."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Zong." Meng Changqing stepped forward to pull him, "It's too late, I shouldn't bother you like this. Besides, we will see you again in the future, so there is no rush today."

"Okay, that's okay." Zong Shouqing asked the attendants to step back, and then talked to Meng Changqing, "We as a couple are still able to have our own children at this age. I really want to thank Madam Hu. When Madam showed her pregnancy, I wanted to go with her. She went to Mrs. Hu's home to express her gratitude, but she didn't expect that Dr. Hu's family would move out of the capital.

Later, when I inquired about it, I found out that Dr. Hu was worried about you and went to Liangzhou with you. Mrs. Hu was worried about Dr. Hu, so she simply packed up the medicinal materials and went to Liangzhou to reopen the medical clinic.

How is their family now? Are you still used to it in Liangzhou? "

"Liangzhou is no better than the capital after all. Doctor Hu and I went there and it was really hard, but now I can survive running a medical clinic." Zong Shouqing walked to the bookshelf and took out a book from one of the locked wooden boxes. The long brocade box came out. "Here is the thank you gift I want to give to Mrs. Hu. Please help me bring it to her."

Meng Changqing took it and said, "I will deliver it to Mrs. Hu personally."

Only then did he notice that Meng Changqing had too many things on him. "Put away the things first. I'll find someone to help you carry them home later." After saying that, he took the pastries on the table and brought them to Meng Changqing said, "Dr. Hu's family values ​​friendship and righteousness. It's really admirable that he can do this for old kindness."

Meng Changqing nodded, "I feel deeply ashamed and don't know how to repay their family's kindness."

Zong Shouqing said with a smile, "Doctor Hu originally wanted to repay General Meng's kindness, and you are thinking about how to repay him. It shows that the friendship is getting deeper and deeper."

"probably."

"I haven't asked you yet, how are you doing in Liangzhou? How are you getting used to it?"

"At first I was just a bit uncomfortable with my diet, but now I'm getting used to it."

"Why do I see you losing so much weight?"

Meng Changqing smiled and replied: "Master also said that I have lost weight just now, but I don't think so. Men must lose weight when they reach this age."

"It's better to eat more. This time I'll ask someone to prepare more dried meat for you. You can take it back and eat it when you have time."

"Thank you, Mr. Zong, for your concern. I just said a few words to Master in a hurry, and now I remember that I haven't asked him how he is. It's really unfilial."

"My father has always been in good health, so you don't have to worry too much."

Meng Changqing actually asked about Zong Ruwen's physical condition, but it's just that for this kind of thing, it's better to ask someone else for peace of mind than to ask the person involved.
