The weather is getting colder and the taste of the new year is getting stronger. Shan Banyan has been resting quietly these days, and there is nothing uncomfortable about it. The fetus is becoming more stable, the body is getting fatter, and the complexion is much better. Seeing Shan Banyan like this, Shen Jingshu is relieved, "Mother, your pulse condition is becoming more stable. In a few days, you should always It'll be fine."
"Hehe, is that right? This is really great." Knowing this good news, why is Shan Banyan unhappy? Knowing that she was pregnant before, she was worried about the child in her womb, for fear of a mistake, then she would really feel sorry for her husband who had always been the same to her.
As long as everything is alright, in this way, she can feel a little more relieved, and doesn't have to worry about her negligence all the time.
"Mother, don't worry, the younger brother in my mother's womb is very strong, and he must be a brave child in the future. Now, mother only needs to maintain her mood and take good care of her body. You don't need to worry about other mothers."
"Okay, I know, it's just that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the house is busy, and I'm still so leisurely, I'm really sorry!" The time of New Year's and holidays is always the busiest. The Shen family has been in the capital for so many years. Interpersonal relationships are naturally intricate, and gift-giving and human relations all require effort. Shan Banyan, as the eldest daughter-in-law, was supposed to take care of these things, but now that she is like this, there is nothing she can do.
"Don't think about it, mother. You are inconvenient now, and it's okay."
"That's right, maybe it's good for me to be free." Because of her health, she didn't care about the house either, so the conflict with the second bedroom was much less. This is also very good, now she doesn't want to affect the child in her belly because of these trivial things.
"It's best for mother to think like this. Give birth to my younger brother first, and then we'll talk about other things at that time!" The power of the housekeeper is not so easy to get. The daily human relations, as well as financial management, what is it? It takes effort? Shen Jingshu couldn't bear to let Banyan Tree be so busy, "By the way, mother, now that you are getting older, it is not convenient to always send things from the big kitchen, why not open a small kitchen in the yard, so You can eat whatever you want at any time." Shen Jingshu had wanted to raise this question a long time ago, but it was just a premise that would definitely be refuted, but now Shen Jingshu is sure.
"It's great to open a kitchen by myself, but the family always eats together. I'm afraid my mother won't agree, and I can't be special." This is pregnant with a child, and sometimes I want to eat, and sometimes Sometimes you don’t want to eat, that’s not necessarily the case. Moreover, it is troublesome to go to the big kitchen to get things. The weather is cold, and it is easy to be indifferent.
"Hehe, mother, isn't it a special time for you now? It's inconvenient to always go to the big kitchen to get things, and sometimes you don't do your best. It's better to open a small kitchen and cook dishes that suit your taste. If you eat more, your younger brother will be healthy!" Now the time is almost here, and Shen Jingshu believes that it is also possible.
"But at your grandmother's place..." To the extent that Mrs. Shen doesn't like her, I'm afraid she won't agree, right
"Mother, don't worry, I'm here! You just do as I do!" She already had an idea in her heart, and of course Shen Jingshu had her own idea.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" My daughter has been right since she was a child, and Shan Banyan knows it. She is also willing to change the kitchenette, and of course agrees.
So in the days that followed, Banyan Tree always wanted to eat bird's nest, fish maw, abalone...a variety every day, without heavy ones, all of which were extremely expensive, which made Guo Yuanshuang a headache.
"What do you think this sister-in-law is pregnant with? It's so precious. When I was pregnant with Qi Ge'er, I didn't see it like that. If I continue to eat like this, wouldn't the money go away in a flash?" Shan The more Banyan eats, doesn't that mean the less she gets? Although these are all belonging to the big house, Guo Yuanshuang also feels distressed!
She has been in charge of everything in the Shen family these years, now that people are so expensive, how can she take it too seriously
"Don't talk about sister-in-law, it's all about my elder brother and her. If she wants to spend money, can we stop it?" Shen Wenli has been jealous of Shen Wenhua's elder brother since he was a child. Shen Wenhua has been a role model since he was a child, and he will always be Live under the halo of Shen Wenhua. Others only know that Shen Wenhua was born in a scholarly family and is the number one scholar in Sanyuanji, but who knows him? Living under the shadow of his elder brother, Shen Wenli's heart naturally gradually darkened. He wished that this elder brother would disappear, or that he could replace him and get all of this, instead of living like this and being looked down upon by others. !
In the past, he managed to climb up to the third prince, and seeing that he might be promoted, but because of Shen Wenhua's relationship, the third prince now behaves with his tail between his legs, and cannot gain the trust of the emperor. His brother was born to be against him!
"Master, this house is not all owned by elder brothers and sisters-in-law, and the family has not been separated yet. If they spend like this, our share will be less?"
"You haven't used it less these years. When you were pregnant with Brother Qi, what good food did you not eat? I don't think my sister-in-law is too much now!" Even though he said this, Shen Wenli was still uncomfortable. At that time, I thought that my eldest brother had no children, so it would be good for my son to be adopted by my eldest brother, but I still got such an excellent son, and now I have another one. Is he really going to be oppressed by his own elder brother in his life? Can't hold your head up
"Master, you can't say that! I didn't do what I did back then, wasn't it because of us? How much can we get from such a big family business? If I don't fight for us, what will we do in the future?" If not Her husband is so incompetent, does she need to be so fussy
"Now that you know, don't offend my sister-in-law now. Just give her what she wants. The big deal is that it's the public's fault. At that time, the price will be higher. Anyway, the public is paying for it now. What are you worried about? Our share Not less."
"But..." She just couldn't get used to seeing that man so proud, let alone...
Thinking that he doesn't have much money now, Guo Yuanshuang's heart is unavoidably a little nervous, and he is afraid that Shan Banyue will be in trouble if he continues like this.
"But what? It's not that the public has no money, you just put it on the account, and when the mother sees it, she will naturally do something." My mother, I know, is definitely not the kind of person who is too extravagant. Knowing that Banyan Tree is doing this alone will definitely make a difference.
"Hehe, master, you are right, why did I forget this?" After Shen Wenli reminded him like this, Guo Yuanshuang had an idea, and a smile appeared on his face immediately. Seeing her shallow vision, Shen Wenli's heart was full of contempt, "Okay, don't bother me with these small things in the future, now it's the Chinese New Year, and there will be many positions that need to be changed after the year, give me some money, If I go out for activities, maybe I can be promoted in the next year!"
"But master, didn't you just take three thousand taels a few days ago? Why is it not enough?" Shen Wenli has always spent money lavishly, and this is also because the family has not been separated yet, and Shen Wenhua is taking care of it. Shen Wenli's little salary, and the family property he was allocated, how could it be enough
Sometimes Guo Yuanshuang felt wronged when he saw her husband being so ignorant, but Shen Wenli didn't care about it, "Stop talking nonsense, do you think it's so easy to clear up the relationship? It's not enough if you don't have seven or eight thousand taels of money. ?Now I am just an idle job, and I don’t have much money. This time I have connections, and when I go to a department with money, don’t we have more money on hand?” In this case, Shen Wenli said over the years I have done this many times. In the past, Guo Yuanshuang would excitedly give money and wait for good news from Shen Wenli, but every time he was disappointed. Now Guo Yuanshuang has long given up hope.
What do you say to use money to dredge, but in fact, it is not to go to eat, drink and have fun? Shen Wenli is generous outside and likes to play, so Guo Yuanshuang can only turn a blind eye.
But this time, Guo Yuanshuang was not willing to give the money so easily, "Master, although it is right to clear up the relationship, it is not right to spend money like this and see nothing. Now that the elder brother is back, the elder brother's connections Guang, why don't you let the eldest brother change your position? This will save you other troubles, what do you think, master?"
"Brother just came back now, and I don't know what happened! He used to be just a magistrate in the south of the Yangtze River. He has been there for so many years. What kind of knowledge does he have in this capital? I have definite news this time, just listen Mine, give me another five thousand taels, and I promise to give you a surprise when the time comes, and you won’t have to look at Dafang’s face anymore!” Shen Wenli’s blueprints have always been excellent, and Guo Yuanshuang has been deceived many times. If it was in the past, she might have given it as soon as she said it. Anyway, the Shen family has a great career, so it's not a big deal. But now that Shen Wenhua is back, the expenses have suddenly increased a lot, and they have indeed lost a lot these years, and if they spend so much money, it is easy to go wrong.
"Master, it's not that I don't give you money. It's just that the family's expenses have increased a lot recently. Look at the food my sister-in-law eats recently and the cost of the big house. These are all money! We have spent a lot of money over the years. It’s less, and there’s not much left in the treasury now, what if there is something that needs money, what should I do?” Once the money they are short of is found, then their second room is protected by Mrs. Shen, so I’m afraid they can’t Get a foothold here, not to mention...
Thinking that a large sum of money was used by her as loan sharks, although Guo Yuanshuang knew that it would make a lot of profits. But if someone else finds out that she is lending usury, even Mrs. Shen will not tolerate her.
Therefore, this large sum of money must not be used again, otherwise the turnover will not be opened, and it will be troublesome.
"Don't fool me. I don't know how much wealth the family has. Five thousand taels is still enough. Give it to me quickly, and don't delay my big business, or I will make you look good!" Shen Wenli was also angry when he was willing to give the money.
"My lord, let's live a little longer. This New Year's Eve will cost a lot, and I'm afraid that something will happen..."
"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to give the money or not? Don't tell me these excuses. After so many years, it is impossible for the family to not be able to get this little money! If you don't give it to me, I will go get it myself!" Soon collapsed, Shen Wenli looked at Guo Yuanshuang as if he was looking at a creditor, and Guo Yuanshuang was a little scared when he saw it, "Master, don't worry, wait for a few days, and I will definitely pay you in a few days, okay? "Knowing that Shen Wenli is an idiot, and she can do anything without giving money, Guo Yuanshuang is of course worried that Shen Wenli will make things worse, and it will be bad if he finds out that she has put a mark on her.
"Are you going to give it or not? Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to use it. If I miss this opportunity, I will have to sit around and do nothing. Now that the eldest brother is back, you continue to want me to be looked down upon by others, right? "
"My lord, that's not what I mean by being a concubine." Of course Guo Yuanshuang knew that Shen Wenli had a lot of dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction with Shen Wenhua, so he didn't dare to offend Shen Wenhua at the moment, so he could only comfort him, "But I really can't afford so much money to be a concubine. , master, can you let this concubine stay for two days?"
"How could there be no silver? Silver is the most important thing during Chinese New Year. Don't think I don't know! Did you steal the silver and refuse to give it to me?"
"No, master, what's the matter? Why did the concubine take it secretly?" After being told by Shen Wenhua, Guo Yuanshuang was also a little nervous, and secretly worried, not knowing what to do.
"It's best not to, I'll give you a day, and you can give me the money tomorrow, or don't blame me for being rude!" Glancing at Guo Yuanshuang, Shen Wenli was in a bad mood at the moment, threatened and left. Seeing Shen Wenli like this, Guo Yuanshuang felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry. Back then, she also valued the big family of the Shen family. Although Shen Wenli was not the eldest son, he was also the first son, so he must be not bad. With her status, she is a high climber, but she never thought that it would be like this when she gets married. What should I do
After thinking about it, Guo Yuanshuang finally took out the ledger to make the calculations. His loan sharks had just been released not long ago, and the profits were huge. It would not be worthwhile to come back at this time, and he must not move.
So what should she do
Seeing that the loan sharks have a lot of interest, she invested a lot in it, and now she has saved some money for the New Year, which was enough in the first place. But the food that Shan Banyan needs to eat these days is extremely expensive, and it is also difficult to buy. If this continues, won't she have too much money? If something goes wrong at that time, she won't be able to bear it and walk around. Don't even think about taking this housekeeper's right! Maybe it will be known that she is pocketing her own money. Even if Mrs. Shen is biased, seeing that she has been greedy for so much, she probably won't let her go easily, right
Thinking of this, Guo Yuanshuang quickly settled the accounts in her heart. Although she had made a lot of money over the years, she had gone to loan sharks, and now she didn't have much money. The public's money can't be moved now, so she can avoid trouble, and she will be in trouble when the time comes. But Shen Wenli wanted five thousand taels at once, where would she get it
…
Because of Shen Wenli's asking for money, Guo Yuanshuang was also very angry. Seeing that the second day was coming so soon, Guo Yuanshuang didn't think of any way. When he went to pay Mrs. Shen the next day, his mouth became angry.
Looking at the decorations in Mrs. Shen's room, Guo Yuanshuang estimated the price one by one, wishing to move them back. Finally, he finally had an idea in his heart, and he immediately became happy. At this time, Shen Jingshu's proposal was even more important. It made Guo Yuanshuang happy, "Grandmother, my mother's stomach has always been so stubborn recently, and she can't eat a lot of food. This big kitchen brings so many good ones every day, and my mother can't eat a few bites, which is a waste. "
This made Guo Yuanshuang deeply agree, "Hehe, sister-in-law really likes a lot of tricks recently, such as abalone, snow geese, and isinglass... these are all good things, and they are great for children. I think the child in my stomach will be healthy and smart after coming to my sister-in-law!" Guo Yuanshuang purposely said these things to let Mrs. Shen know how extravagant Shan Yuerong is recently. Sure enough, Mrs. Shen frowned when she heard this, "Daughter-in-law The body is not good, and supplementation is also good, but they say that the deficiency is too much to replenish, will she supplement it in this way, will it be too much and affect the fetus?" If it wasn't because of Shan Yuerong's pregnancy, Mrs. Shen would have had a seizure a long time ago. up.
"Grandmother, mother's body is weak. These are the supplements prescribed by the doctor, and nothing will happen. It's just that my mother and I feel that it's not good to always trouble the second aunt, so we want to open a small kitchen. We are responsible for the expenses by ourselves, and we don’t need to trouble our second aunt. It’s almost Chinese New Year now, and my second aunt is also busy, so it’s troublesome to always let the big kitchen cook for my mother alone. Besides, my mother doesn’t set meals for meals, and we don’t get along well with everyone. The same, there are a lot of things for everyone. We all feel that we should open a small kitchen by ourselves and be responsible for purchasing and eating. Grandma thinks this is good?"
What I did before was to make Guo Yuanshuang feel distressed, and also to provoke Guo Yuanshuang. This Chinese New Year is the best time to post scams. In her previous life, Guo Yuanshuang also liked to post scams, and she got a lot of private money because of it. She knew it all. At that time, when Mrs. Shen learned about it, she was very angry and punished Guo Yuanshuang severely. Guo Yuanshuang didn't dare. However, Guo Yuanshuang has not been discovered in this life, so I believe this must be happening, right? And more than once!
With such a huge profit from usury, it is no wonder that Guo Yuanshuang is not tempted, let alone...
Thinking of something, Shen Jingshu's heart at this moment is like a bright mirror. Now she is the head of the Charity Hall, and the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Her parents are still alive and her family is happy. She is no longer the orphan girl she used to be, how could she let Erfang's trick succeed
"Shu'er, it is convenient to open a small kitchen, but there is no precedent for opening a small kitchen in our house, and the big kitchen can be busy, so it is troublesome to open it alone, let's forget it!" Mrs. Shen directly refused. Yes, but Shen Jingshu still has another trick, "Really? But the big kitchen is busy with the whole family's food, sometimes it is in a hurry, and it is inevitable that mistakes will be made. There are some longan in the bird's nest porridge for mother a few days ago , if I hadn't been there at the time, my mother would be weak now, I'm afraid..."
"How could this happen?" Hearing Shen Jingshu's words, Mrs. Shen immediately glanced at Guo Yuanshuang, and Guo Yuanshuang's heart trembled. She didn't expect Shen Jingshu to find out about this matter, and quickly denied it, "Jingshu, what do you say?" But it’s true? Why would there be longan in the bird’s nest porridge? It’s not good for pregnant women to eat longan!”
"I don't know, maybe the servants are confused? After all, with so much food, mistakes are common!" Looking at Guo Yuanshuang with a half-smile, the reason why she didn't say what happened last time was because Just waiting for today, anyway, the small kitchen has to be opened anyway, otherwise she is not at ease!
"Hehe, some servant must have been careless and made a mistake, Jingshu, don't worry, I will check it out later, and I will give my sister-in-law an explanation!"
"Of course, this matter needs to be investigated clearly, but it can also be seen from this matter that there will be some omissions in the big kitchen. Grandma, mother's birth is extremely difficult, and we are also very careful, so we want to open it ourselves. In the small kitchen, buy the ingredients yourself, so as to avoid such omissions from happening again. Last time I was lucky and found it, so what about the next time? Who can guarantee that there will be no negligence in the future? What will be done then? "The words hit the place that Mrs. Shen cared most about, and Mrs. Shen's complexion suddenly softened. Shen Jingshu naturally wanted to make persistent efforts at this moment, "Grandmother, what is in mother's belly is your grandson. People who are in the body eat differently from ordinary people. They eat when they want. There are so many things in the big kitchen. What about your grandson, grandma?"
"This..." He hesitated a bit, although she had complicated emotions towards the child in Shan Banyan's belly, but after all, Mrs. Shen still cared about her children, and of course she didn't want anything to happen to Shan Banyan.
"Mother, you just agree. This time it was indeed my negligence. I feel very guilty. My sister-in-law is pregnant with a child now, but she can't be careless at all. Let her own a small kitchen. Whatever she wants to eat, she can eat it." What to eat, so as not to affect the children in the belly!" Guo Yuanshuang didn't quite agree with the establishment of a small kitchen in the big room, but firstly, the big room was willing to pay for it by itself, and secondly, what happened before was told by Shen Jingshu, Guo Yuanshuang felt that I was a little worried, but now I had to agree.
It's good to get rid of the relationship first, and then think of a way. She has managed the family for more than ten years, and most of the people in the family are people she can trust. Isn't it easy for her to do what she wants
"Yes, grandma, you just promise. When the time comes, mother will give you a white and fat little grandson. Grandma will be the first to hold her, and you can name him. Isn't it a good thing? The family hasn't seen it for a long time. Happy event!"
"Hey, that's all, I'll leave it to you!" Mrs. Shen finally agreed. After all, it was Shen Jingshu's plan that worked. Mrs. Shen was really afraid that something might happen to the child in Shan Banyan's belly. .
Dafang has too few offspring, and now the eldest son is unwilling to open his mind, and Dafang's child can only come out of that woman's belly. She has no choice but to endure it for the time being.
"Thank you grandma, I know that grandma is the best!" Smiling, she looked at Mrs. Shen, who had become familiar with Mrs. Shen these days. In fact, Shen Jingshu knew that Mrs. Shen was still an elder who was very kind to her children and grandchildren. It's a bit biased, but it's human nature. Old Mrs. Shen's partiality for the second room was also due to the fact that she was not close to the first room, and Shen Wenli was very good at coaxing people, unlike her own father, which made Mrs. Shen always feel insecure. That's why Mrs. Shen tried every means to pull her son to her side.
But it doesn't matter, Mrs. Shen has not seen the true face of the second room now, and when she reveals the true face of the other party bit by bit, she believes that Mrs. Shen will be completely chilled by the second room, and it will be natural at that time It won't be too painful either!
This, Shen Jingshu still has this confidence. After all, she has been with Mrs. Shen for many years, and she can more or less guess Mrs. Shen's temper and thoughts.
"You child!" Looking at Shen Jingshu with a smile, after getting in touch with this granddaughter, Shen Jingshu's small mouth is very sweet and very sensible. Compared with Shen Jingya's stinginess, Mrs. Shen naturally prefers a granddaughter like Shen Jingshu .
Only such a woman will be able to become famous in the future, and she will definitely win glory for the Shen family. As expected of the eldest daughter of the eldest son, this kind of bearing is incomparable even for the princess in the palace.
"Grandma, I'm here to give you a hammer on your leg. I heard that grandma's leg hurts a lot recently, but is she suffering from rheumatism?"
"Well, it's like this when the weather is cold. The cold wind blew a few days ago, and it's cold. Just rest for a few days and you'll be fine."
"Grandma, I heard that there is a miraculous doctor in the charity hall, why didn't grandma invite her to show grandma?"
"Where is the miracle doctor Mingyue so easy to invite? I have sent invitations to her several times, but the charity hall is very busy with replies. My old cold legs can only hurt so much."
"Grandmother, I met Miracle Doctor Mingyue when I was in Jiangnan, and I have some friendship with her, why don't I try?"
"Do you know the Divine Doctor Mingyue?"
"Well, there are some origins. I'll talk about it with my grandmother later. Shall I invite her first?" It's easy to invite Mingyue, but Shen Jingshu has her reasons for delaying it until this time.
"Okay, it's best if we can invite you. The imperial doctor in Gongzhong has never been cured, and I don't know what happened to this Mingyue doctor." Mingyue's reputation has been very prosperous in recent years. I want to ask her for treatment, but she just doesn't want to see a doctor easily.
This is the effect Shen Jingshu wants, otherwise, who would care so much about their charity hall
"Grandma, don't worry, she is a miracle doctor!"
"Hehe, Jingshu, you know Mingyue Miracle Doctor, can you show me?"
