Chapter 6 Accompanying
After dinner, Meng Mei originally wanted to take Changsheng to the post station. But it was getting late, and after a day of travel, she was exhausted.
The two went straight to Siheyuan, not far from Zhaiming Academy.
When passing by the gate of Zhaiming Academy, Meng Mei even gave Changsheng a look.
The door of Zhaiming Academy is tall and majestic, with a pair of majestic unicorns covered with auspicious clouds on both sides. The unicorn is auspicious beast, symbolizing outstanding talents with both virtue and ability. It is very auspicious to place it at the entrance of the academy.
Meng Mei looked at the Qilin stone statue and said to Changsheng: "You must study hard. In the future, if you become a high-ranking official, my business will be more stable."
Although the court did not allow collusion between officials and businessmen, it was inseparable from secrets and could not be separated. Merchants had to go to business, and they had to first pass the local official road before they could go to business.
Changsheng lacks interest, "I can't spend all the money I sleep in for several lifetimes, why do I still have to make so hard to make money?"
"Because I like to make money through business, and..." Meng Mei paused, with a hint of solemnity on her face, "Money can help ghosts and gods, and everything in the world can be measured by money. If there is any problem, if you use money but you don't settle it, either you use it wrong, or the money you gave is not enough."
Changsheng's eyes fluctuated slightly and he quickly returned to calm.
...
The carriage slowly turned into a deep alley named Dongci.
The alleys are clean and covered with blue bricks and stones.
"It's right here." Meng Mei stopped the carriage in front of a black-painted barbarian door.
Changsheng looked up at the empty door, "Mingmei, I remember you took off the door plaque of Meng's house in Qi?"
"Yes, it's just in the suitcase behind you, just hang it up, so you can save it." Meng Mei jumped out of the carriage, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the coarse porcelain incense burner placed at the door, and above the incense burner was the door god peach talisman.
Meng Mei respectfully clasped her hands to Tao Fu, "Gourmet to the door god, I see that my daughter and my brother are lucky enough to shelter from the wind and rain in this house, and I will also be given more care from you in the future."
As the saying goes, there are gods who raise their heads three feet, and their words and deeds are virtuous and they are always peaceful. They bow and bow three times.
After worshiping, I moved the incense burner away, pressed a bag of oil paper underneath, peeled off the bag of oil paper, and it turned out to be a copper key.
Meng Mei gave the copper key to Changsheng and "opened the door."
Changsheng took the key, opened the door, and then checked the high threshold. He saw that there were no gaps in the wheel lanes, but there were buckles on both sides of the door shafts, and the threshold could be disassembled.
Then the threshold was lowered,
Meng Mei drove the carriage into the door.
The three-entry yard is facing a screen wall, with auspicious pictures that have been around for more than a year.
Meng Mei said: "I want to change this screen wall to Sanyuan Ju, or to make it to the top."
Changsheng said: "I think the whole house is very good."
"The golden and jade hall is good, but this is not a school house for you to study. We should pay attention to our studies. Let's go back and buy a golden and jade hall."
"Mingmei, what if I can't become a Shangguan?" Changsheng asked.
Meng Mei looked at him... He was so arrogant and noble that he had been different from ordinary people since childhood. It was impossible not to be an official! He also had to be a high-ranking official! Of course, it could also be caused by the psychological cause of "no one can compare to his own children."
"Then let's do business with my sister. I'm worried that there is no one to do business." I patted his thin shoulders, "Don't worry, there's everything."
