Avery Meng got up early the next morning and went to the housekeeper.
The butler of Hua Mansion is fifty years old. He has been in the General Mansion when Damian Hua was still young and is deeply trusted by the Hua family.
In the past, he was basically responsible for everything in the house, so if Avery Meng came this time, he would naturally come to ask for advice.
Avery Meng had never hosted any large-scale banquet in his previous life. This was his first time, so he was naturally very concerned about it.
Although part of what happened to him in his previous life was due to the members of the Hua family, in Avery Meng's heart, the Damian Hua family were all good people, and they were not the culprits who caused his death in the alley.
On the contrary, after his father passed away, the Hua family treated him best and gave him a good living environment and a life that others could not enjoy.
Although he is just a servant, he is much better than those handymen.
Avery Meng is a very contented person, and he is very clear about grudges, but he is also very cowardly, otherwise he would not be able to escape from his enemies in his previous life.
The maid Cui'er assigned to him before had been helping him when he was busy. Moreover, Cui'er knew more about the affairs of the mansion than he did, so she was of great help.
This time, Avery Meng was taking him with him when he went out to make purchases. He still had the list he wrote last night in his hand.
This was already a list that Butler Zhang had looked over, and all that was left was to purchase it.
But Avery Meng had just walked to the door of Washington Mansion. He took one last look at the list in his hand and was about to put it away. When he looked up, he saw Damian Hua walking towards him.
They must have just dismounted, and General Hua's mount, a maroon sweat-blooded horse, was being led to the stables by the porter's boy.
"General, why are you back?" Why do you come back so often these days? You know that in your previous life, you only came back every seven or eight days.
Damian Hua didn't expect to meet his brother who was about to go out by chance. He walked up to him calmly and asked, "Going out so early?"
Avery Meng took the suffering post and told him honestly, "There are things you need to buy for your birthday party. I will take Cui'er to the street to have a look."
Damian Hua nodded to show that he understood, then looked away and walked towards the house without saying anything.
Avery Meng felt a little strange, but couldn't explain why, so he shook his head and threw the idea behind him and took Cui'er out of the door.
Naturally, the first thing he did when he returned home was to visit his grandmother. However, before he even stepped into the yard, he heard his grandmother's obviously happy and teasing voice.
"You're such a busy person, why are you running to the house every day lately? You've finished your work in the camp, so you're here so early."
Damian Hua saluted, then sat down on a chair nearby and said without changing his expression, "Don't you always say that I'm away from home? Why aren't you happy that I'm back?"
Mrs. Hua You glanced at him, feeling like a mirror, as if she suddenly remembered something and changed the topic.
"Avery Meng just left the house, have you seen it?" I said before, he picked up a piece of pastry and ate it casually, and then said, "Don't tell me that this brother is really safe in doing things. Now you have a birthday party for me, my wife." I'm not worried at all."
Damian Hua recalled in his mind the seriousness he had just seen in his brother, which was quite rare.
"Did grandma know his origins before buying him?" She is usually cautious, but she doesn't know how she developed this temperament.
"The people in Ren Yazi's hands are all mixed up. How can I know why you suddenly asked about this?" The old lady's eyes were narrow. She knew very well what kind of temper her grandson was, so she naturally treated Damian Hua accordingly. Avery Meng's specialness was noticed.
"Didn't grandma mention it first?" Without waiting for the old lady to answer, Damian Hua stood up and said, "My grandson still has something to take care of. I will come over to stay with you during lunch."
Mrs. Hua didn't say anything, but the smile in her eyes couldn't stop.
After Damian Hua left the courtyard, Nanny Hua said with a smile, "It seems that the general is interested in Brother Meng. He has returned to the mansion as many times in this month as he has in half a year."
"It's a good thing that this person only thinks about his family after he gets married. Finally, he has someone who can let him run home. When he has children in the future, this huge General's Mansion will become lively."
The old lady's face was full of longing for the future.
"It's just, Madam, Avery Meng's pregnancy mole is a little lighter, I'm afraid..." Madam Hua didn't finish the rest of her words, but Madam Hua sighed.
"I don't want to think about this at the moment. It's only good that Chen'er wants to start a family. We'll talk about the rest later. Besides, light pregnancy moles doesn't mean that you can't have children. If it doesn't work, let Chen'er welcome a mistress back. There will always be one."
Seeing the old lady's unworried expression, Grandma Hua couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
It would be great if the general could just marry a wife at will. It wouldn't be the case that he is already in his mid-twenties and is still unmarried.
And if Brother Meng really enters their general's heart in the future, if he welcomes another mistress back, their general may be the first to disagree.
Avery Meng, who was still walking on the street, had no idea what was happening in the general's mansion, and was still shopping seriously under Cui'er's introduction.
"Fifty jars of Maotai-flavor wine are required." Avery Meng muttered in a low voice when he walked to Laoxuan Winery. Although his memory was good, sometimes he would be careful to repeat it several times for fear that he would forget.
Before I even walked in, I could smell the fragrant smell of alcohol, which made some old men passing by salivate.
Laoxuan Winery is a very old workshop. It has been there for decades. The wine it makes is fragrant. Many people who love wine like to order wine from his house. Many dignitaries in the imperial city hold weddings. I also liked to order drinks here from time to time, and it has long been famous.
As soon as we entered, the waiter in charge of reception greeted us with a smile on his face.
"Sir, what kind of wine do you want? We have the best wine here, as well as the strong sorghum wine. They are all fine wines. We have everything you want." Avery Meng was not used to this enthusiastic look. , he took two steps back and distanced himself from the waiter.
"We are from Washington. We want to order fifty jars of good sauce. I don't know if it is in stock." Avery Meng said warmly.
Cui'er noticed his discomfort and silently stepped forward to block Avery Meng. The waiter was forced to step back a little by Cui'er.
"Yes, yes. I'm going to look for our shopkeeper. You want a lot, so you need to find him." Xiao Er ran away quickly, leaving Avery Meng and Cui'er standing in the center of the living room.
Avery Meng didn't hide his face when he went out. His handsome face attracted the attention of people coming and going in the wine shop. Avery Meng, who rarely interacted with people, could only lower his head and look like this. .
Fortunately, Tweetie stood in front of him and blocked most of his gaze. Some of the unbridled glances were all glared back by Tweetie.
This brother of his was not as courageous as Cui'er. Avery Meng sighed in his heart.
"My guest, you want fifty jars of soy sauce, right?" After a while, a well-dressed middle-aged man came out of the back hall and asked Avery Meng with an attitude that was neither humble nor overbearing.
"Yes, please ask the shopkeeper to deliver the wine to North Street Washington on the fifth day of next month. This is the deposit." Avery Meng spoke without hesitation and directly handed the money he brought out to the shopkeeper.
"Okay, how about I meet you at home?" the shopkeeper asked tentatively.
"Tell the concierge that you are here to deliver wine. Just ask Avery Meng."
Avery Meng breathed a sigh of relief when he came out of the wine shop. This was the first time he talked about this. It was lucky that nothing went wrong.
Just as he was taking Cui'er away to the next place, he was suddenly stopped: "This little brother, wait a moment."
At first, Avery Meng didn't realize that he was calling him and walked straight forward. However, in the next second, people dressed like guards rushed forward and blocked their way.
Almost subconsciously, Avery Meng turned sideways and touched the soft sword at his waist.
Seeing the guarded looks on their faces, the visitor quickly bent down and saluted, "I'm sorry for offending you two. The younger one is the servant of the second son of the Minister of Industry. I just saw this young man in the wine shop." Here, my second young master wants to invite you to the flower viewing party in two days. I wonder if I can give you a favor? "
A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Avery Meng's face. He didn't want to go, especially if it was an invitation from a stranger.
But before he could speak, Cui'er behind him responded with a cold face, "I'm sorry, my young master has important matters to deal with recently, so there is no need to appreciate the flowers." Then she turned to Avery Meng and said earnestly, "Sir, You have a fiancé, so if you refuse these foreign men, let's go."
These words made Avery Meng's heart skip a beat, but now it was indeed a good excuse and he hurriedly left with the people.
