Chapter 7
Yicui was in high spirits, and her back straightened a bit. She didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed Shen Wei's orders.
Seeing her walk away along the path that was just shoveled. The servants in the courtyard were finally in a state of disarray.
"My lady, are you going to sell us?"
Shen Hua admired the speaker's intelligent eyes.
Everyone didn't dare to breathe.
The slaves sold in the mansion are lowly maidservants. What kind of birthday will there be?
Mrs. Xu still stood aside, casually glanced at the sick Shen Hua, and then lowered her eyes and sneered.
"What are you afraid of! Now that the wife is in charge of the house, no matter how capable the lady is, she can still sell you on her own? I'll go find my wife to decide."
Shen Wei can really do it.
She watched Mrs. Xu leave without any emotion in her eyes.
In the previous life, these slaves obsequiously accepted the reward from Shen Qu, and at the same time held her in custody regardless of the past master and servant.
These people, led by Mrs. Xu, tortured her with words. Pushed her closer to the dust.
She still remembers that Mrs. Xu greedily bit a silver ingot and smiled sinisterly at her.
—Miss, although the state judge is the father of your second aunt, it sounds like the relationship is a bit messy, but how many people are rushing to be his child, why are you still not satisfied?
—Which family would dare to marry a sick child like you? If the master of the state judge loves you, maybe you can live longer by hanging your life with various precious supplements.
At that time, who helped her except Yi Cui?
Why should she retreat to these people?
She ignored it and turned back to the house.
Outside, gossip slowly spread.
Shen Qu changed his face and went to the embroidery workshop to check the accounts as the owner. He also found that the number of customers in the past had decreased by half, and the passers-by who came and went would always stop here and look at him several times with indescribable eyes.
Shen Qu just felt something was wrong.
Holding his emotions, he sent someone out to inquire. The amount of running water that fell on the fingertips on the books of previous years filled the brows with ambition.
In the second room, Shen Hewen has three sons besides him. He is the second, just a humble bastard.
Had to live under the watchful eyes of his aunt Shen Zhu.
Shen Zhu relied on his father's sentence from Qipin Prefecture, and even Shen Hewen had to coax him with nice words.
But now, he has completely turned over.
Everything in Dafang belongs to him.
Wearing gold and silver, he can enjoy the best. Even the material of this body is much more expensive than those of the self-proclaimed noble Shen Zhushi.
The steward of Shen's Embroidery Workshop stood aside respectfully.
"Shen's Embroidery Workshop is the largest embroidery workshop in Fengzhou. There are more than a thousand embroiderers, and there are embroiderers who are proficient in Su embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Shu embroidery, and Bian embroidery. However, our embroidery workshop has become famous because our Su embroidery is the best. have to."
Shen Qu listened carefully.
Then, he said softly.
"I will be in charge of the embroidery workshop from now on, but I still don't know much about it, so I have to learn from scratch. I also need to have Lao Cheng in charge to pay more attention."
The steward was too busy talking.
Soon, the boy came back in a hurry.
Seeing that his expression was not right, the steward retreated with a wink.
Shen Qu was delighted: "What's wrong?"
The boy buried his head low, as if terrified and low. As if he was afraid of harming the fish in the pond. But had to report.
"It's been rumored outside now that Madam is not moral, son, you are not kind and heartless, both of you have a good face outside, but in reality you are vicious like snakes and scorpions, secretly ruthless, disregarding family affection, and intending to kill the only blood in the house."
The smile on the corner of Shen Qu's mouth flattened.
He was holding the ledger tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into an ice cellar and condensed.
After a long time, the wooden chair dragged across the ground and rolled up sharply. Shen Qu suddenly stood up with a heavy face.
"Go home!"
——
Ningyun Courtyard is the courtyard of Mrs. Shen Xue.
Chao Lu came here, so naturally she didn't have to reuse it. However, Mrs. Shen Xue rewarded her two taels of silver for the sake of her being the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Wang.
She is not very satisfied. Secretly complaining that Mrs. Shen Xue was a bit stingy. Usually, when Shen Hua was happy, she used those exquisite gold and silver hairpins as rewards.
Although she thought so, she held the broom and swept the floor without hesitation. With Mrs. Wang around, she would never be able to sweep the ground for a lifetime.
Her posture is very wrong, and the floor is not clean. Provoking ridicule from around.
"At first glance, it looks like she hasn't done rough work. That's right, I used to serve by my wife's side. I just need to accompany you to enjoy flowers and listen to music every day. I don't know how happy I am. Now I come to our courtyard, but I don't want to be the last girl. .”
Chao Lu took a deep breath: "It is my heart's wish to serve Madam, all sisters..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but he didn't expect these people to change their faces immediately. Qiqi faced the same direction and saluted in an orderly manner.
"Young master."
Chao Luxin thumped, and hurriedly turned around to greet her.
Shen Qu didn't have time to think about it, and went straight to the main house.
In the room, Mrs. Shen Xue was picking up a box of gorgeous and expensive jewelry.
She may not be considered beautiful, but she is charming. He raised a pearl hairpin with his fingertips and looked at it carefully.
"I didn't enjoy any blessings in the first half of my life. I was always scruples about these and other things. I behaved very restrainedly. It's different now. It's a pity that I can't wear the jewelry I just bought during the funeral."
Wang Pozi on the side smiled.
"Madam, your good day is finally here."
"The entire Xue family has been honored with you, and the Xue family is now living in the Shen family, all relying on you."
Xue's eyebrows were beaming when he heard it. Who said otherwise. She is completely over the top.
Just as he was about to speak again, he heard footsteps outside approaching from far away.
"My lord, you wait outside for a while, and the maidservant will go in and inform Madam." The maidservant outside the house spoke.
"Get out of the way!"
Shen Qu scolded the door attendant with a sullen face, and strode inside.
Shen Xue put down the pearl hairpin in his hand, and soon met Shen Qu's eyes.
She frowned slightly, dissatisfied with Shen Qu's treacherous recklessness, but now she and Shen Qu are on the same rope, in a relationship of mutual assistance.
She also intends to cultivate a mother-child relationship with Shen Qu. Then he said with a smile.
"Brother Qu came by coincidence, the kitchen just delivered Yunwu Cake."
Ms. Shen Xue beckoned him to sit down, and told Mrs. Wang to take away the box of jewelry.
"Is this just coming back from the embroidery workshop? Coincidentally, I introduced you to my mother's family. My nephew, brother Liang, is about the same age as you. He is not a good person. You have been taught by your uncle since you were young. You have a brilliant literary talent and behave in the world." The Tao is also transparent, for A Niang's sake, if it is convenient, you can take him with you."
Shen Qu suppressed his temper.
"What A Niang said is true."
Shen Xueshi smiled sincerely.
"Taste this pastry quickly. If you like it, let the kitchen send some more to your yard."
Shen Qu doesn't want to play a mother-child relationship with Shen Xueshi at this moment.
He rolled his eyelids.
"Where's in Yangyang Courtyard?"
"Aniang gave it to me, how can I favor one over another and miss Yang Yang?"
