Meng Tan smiled strangely and nodded.

Shen Jinzhu coughed lightly and pretended to be serious, "Then you can help me do the math?"

Meng Tan stretched out his hand and rubbed his fingers.

Shen Jinzhu was very smart and took off a gold magpie bracelet from his wrist and put it in Meng Tan's hand.

Meng Tan's eyes suddenly lit up, this girl is a gold ingot.

Oops, you can still get money by knocking on CP, where can you find such a good thing?

Meng Tan smiled so hard that his teeth disappeared, and then he looked at Shen Jinzhu's face carefully.

[Oh, this is incredible. This girl has a noble appearance, but her relationship is shallow. Her mother died in childbirth three years ago. Although her father loves her, he has a lot of troubles. She must have several troubled aunts. But I think her brother Gong Polong has many concubines and concubines. ]

[There are others who came in... I calculated, the bastards below must want to be recorded in the name of Miss Shen's mother. Miss Shen has been troubled recently. ]

[Ah... I'm off topic. I'm asked to look at marriage. ]

Meng Tan coughed heavily and glanced towards the rear window of the carriage before continuing.

[Although there are ups and downs, it is still happy. If you match Da Lang, you will be a good couple, but...]

Chen Changan, who was following the carriage, pricked up his ears unconsciously, while Chen Changsheng looked at his eldest brother with envy. No matter what, his eldest brother's marriage was always happier than his.

Each one was better than the other, but he struggled to give birth to a child and almost lost it.

Chen Changsheng sighed quietly.

Tian Meng looked at his brother-in-law strangely and whispered: "Don't worry, Changsheng, I will let Axiang go back with you. Even if your parents don't agree, I will help lobby."

Chen Changsheng was a little embarrassed and didn't explain.

Meng Tan satisfied Chen Changan's appetite before continuing to express his feelings.

[It's a pity that there are several rotten peach blossoms. If Miss Shen marries these people, she may not have a smooth life. ]

This is true. Fortune tellers like them can only predict the approximate fate of the owner based on his different choices.

A person's character and ability are usually the key to changing their destiny. Why many people cannot change their calculated destiny? One is the magnetic field generated by their character, and the other is the destiny generated by their abilities.

Of course, ordinary people cannot compare to the Chosen One.

But if you want to change your destined destiny, it will be against the will of heaven and you will have to pay a price.

What Meng Tan could see was that there were only two roads in front of Shen Jinzhu, one was Chen Changan, and the other was others, and the latter was not easy to take.

People at this time like women who are well-behaved and submissive, and do not like strong and capable women who refuse to accept weakness. Unfortunately, Shen Jinzhu is such a person.

Meng Tan did not dare to say that Shen Jinzhu and Chen Changan were very good.

At least Chen Changan will try to understand, and it can be seen when the things she and Chen Changan said before are contrary to current social perceptions.

"Auntie, what did you see?" Shen Jinzhu saw that Meng Tan still liked her, but there were some things that she couldn't say clearly.

Otherwise, she would be in trouble.

Meng Tan didn't care about these twists and turns and pointed directly at Chen Changan.

Shen Jinzhu felt excited. Whether it was true or not, did this mean that Aunt Meng liked her?

She is recognized.

But Meng Tan patted her hand again and made a handwriting gesture.

Oh, it’s so troublesome not being able to speak.

It has to be said that this carriage is almost like a treasure chest. Shen Jinzhu directly took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from a grid next to it, and even studied the ink for Meng Tan himself.

The moment Meng Tan picked up the brush, she almost dreamed back to her previous life. The old magic stick taught her how to use a brush and read many ancient books.

After writing a long list eloquently, Meng Tan stopped writing. However, before Shen Jinzhu could read it, the coachman shouted, "Miss, the other hospital has arrived."

Shen Jinzhu had no choice but to put away the paper and help Meng Tan go down.

Meng Tan wanted to say that he really didn't need help. He was only thirty-seven years old, and he was no longer seventy or eighty years old.     But, she couldn't say it.

Shen Jinzhu was very considerate and asked people to tidy up a large yard and also sent a bunch of food for people to serve, but he did not come.

The two families had almost no intention of eating, and only Meng Tan picked up the bowl.

Liu Cuihua's eyes were swollen from crying, "Chang'an, tell me, what should we do about this matter? How much money does it cost to hire a defense attorney? Even if I try to sell iron, I still have to win this case for Tao'er. She has already suffered enough."

Tian Dashan frowned and stared at Chen Changan without saying a word, but his firm eyes made it known that he and Liu Cuihua had the same idea.

Chen Changan asked, "Do you have any evidence that the woman is a prostitute?"

Liu Cuihua and his wife were stunned and both shook their heads.

"Do you know which brothel Wang Xiucai was redeemed from?"

The old couple still shook their heads.

Chen Changan pinched his eyebrows and turned to look at Meng Tan, "Mom, can you figure it out?"

Meng Tan choked, glanced at Chen Changan, put down the bowl and chopsticks, pinched his fingers, pointed to the southwest, dipped in water and drew a river, and then drew a house with two strings of large lanterns in front of the house.

"Isn't this Wanfang Pavilion?" Chen Changsheng shouted.

Everyone in the room looked over. Chen Changsheng's uncle Tian Meng stared at him and glanced at Chen Changsheng suspiciously.

"How do you know?" Tian Meng asked.

"Ahem...then what? I will punt over there to sell rouge, gouache and the like. The low-class tricksters in Wanfang Pavilion like to buy it. I have never been in it. The bottom is only ten taels of silver. I only earn it in a month. How many……"

Chen Changsheng was very resentful. How could the whole family doubt him so much?

Didn't he like Zhu before?

Can’t people change their ways?

Meng Tan gritted his teeth, this kid was definitely thinking about it.

[You can’t go even if you have money, otherwise how can you be worthy of your wife? Your wife is carrying a baby. A woman’s life is a gamble when she gives birth. ]

Chen Changsheng murmured, "I won't go, mother."

Only Chen Changan frowned, "Wanfang Pavilion, it's not easy to offend."

[What's up, Dalang, do you need anything from Wanfang Pavilion? ]

Meng Tan was confused.

"Generally, when a Hualou woman sells her body, there will be a document, which is divided into two parts, one is the deed of sale, and the other is the document recorded in the Hualou."

"If we can get the documents filed, we can crucify the Wang family. If the Wang family uses the law to suppress her, we can use this to accuse the Wang family of raping prostitutes, and the eldest sister of the Tian family will not have to marry."

The crime of prostitution was a law in Da Chu that restricted officials. In the previous dynasty, prostitution was so popular that women frequently disappeared and the population plummeted. After the founding of the Chu State, prostitution was explicitly prohibited.

If an official commits adultery with a prostitute, it is a serious crime, ranging from strangulation to beheading. Although it is not as serious as an official engaging in adultery with a scholar, he will still be imprisoned for thousands of miles.

Scholars were considered among the lowest class of scholars.

"But Wanfang Pavilion is the largest flower house in Changhe Town, and there are people behind it. If we ask for it directly, they may not give it to us."

Meng Tan was stunned, it turns out there are so many details in this.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a little girl leaving quietly at the door.

Meng Tan raised his eyebrows, ah, the noble man is coming.
