Chapter 1813 Tang Wenqian Comes to Pay New Year's Greetings

Meng Han then looked at Shu Yu's red envelope and saw three ten-tael silver coins, and instantly became depressed.

But she quickly became excited again, grabbing Shuyu's hand and saying, "Sister Shuyu, I have money now, I'll treat you to something to eat. Let me tell you, there's a little stall in Chenggu County that makes really delicious pancakes. You were so busy before the New Year that I didn't have a chance to take you there either. Even though it's New Year's Day, that little stall will still be open. Come on, I'll take you to try it."

Shu Yu was pulled along for a few steps, but Meng Han suddenly stopped as if she had thought of something, her eyes darting around.

"No, it'll be too boring if we go. Let's invite my cousin and my brother. It'll be more fun with more people." That way, someone will pay. She can save the money in her hand. Hmm, she's quite the clever little devil.

Meng Han turned around to pull the person away, but suddenly a guest arrived at her home.

First, the bodyguards from the escort agency came to offer New Year's greetings with their families. As the hostess, Meng Han felt bad about leaving them alone, especially since their children were about the same age as her, so she had to entertain them as well.

Following closely behind were Master Yang, He Er, and others, who arrived carrying various gift boxes and chatted animatedly with Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng.

The entire Meng Family Escort Agency was packed with people. Even Uncle Meng was somewhat moved, as this was the most bustling year for the Meng family in many years.

However, that wasn't all. Just as He Er and the others were talking about the awards their family had received and how many relatives and friends had come to visit on New Year's Eve, a servant from the Meng family rushed in and said urgently to Meng Pei and the others who were sitting in the main room drinking tea, "Master, Second Master, the magistrate has arrived."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked at each other in bewilderment.

Meng Yunzheng, with no apparent surprise on his face, stood up first and said, "Let's go. The magistrate must have something to say to come here at this time."

They come knocking on the door so early in the New Year; if something really is wrong, it could be quite serious.

Everyone felt somewhat uneasy, fearing that they wouldn't have a peaceful New Year.

When everyone arrived at the front yard, Tang Wenqian had already led his men inside.

"Master Meng, it's been a long time. Happy New Year! I've come to wish you a Happy New Year."

Meng Pei laughed heartily, "Lord Tang, you're too kind. We should be the ones visiting you. Please come in, please come in."

Master Yang and the others also stepped forward to pay their respects. Tang Wenqian nodded slightly, greeted them kindly, and then followed Meng Pei into the house.

The main room was well-stocked with New Year's goods. Tang Wenqian couldn't help but think of the scenes of celebrating the New Year at home in previous years when he saw the items on the table. Back then, his parents would also prepare New Year's goods well in advance. Although they weren't very lavish and the family wasn't wealthy, the whole family would be together, and it would always be a perfect occasion.

The news that he had been appointed as the magistrate of Chenggu County had already been sent back.

He had already told his parents that he was busy with work since he had just arrived in the county, and he would find someone to pick them up after he settled down.

It was the Lunar New Year, and the county government office was deserted and quiet. He had taken office in a hurry and hadn't prepared anything, so he only felt the festive atmosphere after leaving home.

"Sir, please have some tea."

Tang Wenqian snapped out of his daze and nodded to Meng Pei.

He came from Dong'an Prefecture and could chat with Meng Pei. They talked on and on, enjoying each other's company.

Just when Meng Pei and the others thought that Tang Wenqian's visit was really just a formality, Tang Wenqian suddenly said, "I've come today to read out the imperial edict."
