"Miss San..." Lady Meng looked at Shen Ziqiao distressedly, and wanted to say a few words to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say.
Shen Ziqiao tilted her head, her smile was still bright and bright, "What's the matter? It's so rare to come out for a walk, don't look sad."
"Miss San, if you feel uncomfortable, you can say it out, don't hold it in your heart, it will be bad for your health." Mrs. Meng only thought that Shen Ziqiao was forcing a smile on her face, and any girl would feel better when her family calculated her like this.
What's more, Miss San was very dependent on the old lady when she was a child, and she was obedient to everything. In fact, she was very concerned about how old lady Shen treated her.
Shen Ziqiao shook her head amusedly, she really didn't feel it at all, "It's not the first time... I'm used to it, it doesn't matter, the soldiers come to block me, the old lady just doesn't want me to get the dowry back, I just want to grab it from her."
It was obviously the fat in the mouth, and it was snatched away before it was swallowed. This feeling must be even more painful.
She just wanted to make the old woman feel bad.
"What if... if..." Hongyu said hesitantly, after all Miss San didn't understand anything, how could she fight the old lady.
Speaking of this trial, Shen Ziqiao sneered, "Just to play with the old lady, she really thinks that I have lost, and the dowry is hers? Even if I agree, my grandfather does not agree."
The old lady has no shame in taking her dowry, can't she play tricks
Lady Meng and Hongyu both chuckled, "Miss San really has grown up."
Shen Ziqiao looked down at her chest, and muttered, "Actually, I haven't grown much."
Hongyu blushed with shame.
"Miss San, do you really want to write to the old lady of the Pan family?" Mrs. Meng asked in a low voice. In fact, she was very much in favor of Shen Ziqiao asking the Pan family for support.
"Of course, I will write it when I get back, and send it immediately." Shen Ziqiao said firmly.
It is an idiot not to find a backer.
"Oh. By the way, Hongyu, let me come and see me." Shen Ziqiao suddenly said to Hongyu, "Since there is no shopkeeper in the shop on East Street, let me go."
Hongyu stared round her eyes in surprise, "My father...he...he..."
Shen Ziqiao smiled and said, "Ms. Meng told me that your father used to run errands for my mother. Although he was deliberately suppressed by the old lady these years, he also secretly helped the young master with many things. Let him be the shopkeeper. .”
"Thank you, Miss San." Hongyu and Hongying knew that it was Miss San who wanted to support their father, and kowtowed in gratitude.
"It's alright, alright, don't kowtow. It doesn't hurt." Shen Ziqiao pulled them up.
She is a protector, and the Hongyu sisters are very loyal to her. If she doesn't protect their family, what kind of master is she
Lady Meng looked at the scene in front of her with emotion.
Miss San and Madam are getting more and more similar, and they are also similar in protecting their shortcomings.
"The business of Shangpin Building is really good. The third lady of the Sheng family is really good at it. Many high-ranking officials and nobles only go to Shangpin Building." The carriage passed by Shangpin Building on East Street, Hongyu watched the people coming and going through the window crack door, with a sigh.
Sheng Peiyin...
Shen Ziqiao groaned in her heart, she had forgotten about this heroine recently.
"Eldest young master?" Hongying snorted, "Third Miss. Eldest young master has entered Shangpin Building."
not good! Sheng Peiyin and Shen Zikai... Oh no, isn't Sheng Peiyin already planning to seduce Shen Zikai
Shen Ziqiao became anxious, no no no. Shen Zikai must not be cannon fodder by Sheng Peiyin.
"Who is the young master with?" Shen Ziqiao asked calmly.
Hongyu whispered, "Follow Young Master Qi."
For some reason, Shen Ziqiao was relieved to hear that she was with Qi Zheng.
It is necessary to strengthen the protection of Shen Zikai.
Not long after, they came to the rice shop on West Street.
Mipu's business seems to be doing well. There are two guys in the shop and a shopkeeper. All three are very busy.
Shen Ziqiao didn't go into the store, but asked Hongying to buy a bag of rice, and asked her to observe the attitude and expression of the shopkeeper and others.
The business is so good, why is the profit so little every month? Reluctantly just not losing money.
No tricks!
When Hongying bought a bucket of rice and came back, Shen Ziqiao looked at the quality of the rice, and it was still pretty good.
"That's all for today, let's go back." Shen Ziqiao said.
Lady Meng and the others were taken aback for a moment, "Miss San, why don't you go in and have a look in the shop?"
"Do you know who that shopkeeper is?" Shen Ziqiao asked with a smile, pointing at the shopkeeper who was making a plan.
She didn't come to patrol the shop without doing any homework, she had already asked Shen Zikai about it.
"Mother Li's nephew, the old lady's." What are you doing in the store, and you can't catch anything.
"so… "
Shen Ziqiao smiled, "If we don't change the shopkeeper, Mipu will definitely lose money this month, but we have to plan in detail how to change it."
Lady Meng felt angry, "The old lady is really... really..."
"Okay, don't be angry, let's go back." Shen Ziqiao went back to the house, anyway, she had expected this situation, so there was nothing to be angry about.
As soon as she got back to Shen's house, Shen Ziqiao asked Hongying to weigh the rice first, to see if it was enough, maybe if she didn't make any money, she gave extra spoonfuls of rice to the customer.
"The eldest lady and the second lady are here." Before she had a sip of tea, she heard that Shen Ziwen and the others had come.
Rare customer! These two sisters never come to her place, but today they came here together.
"Jiaojiao, you're back." Shen Ziwen walked in with a smile on her face. She had reached her age, wearing a light green embroidered thin satin short jacket with branches, and a plain horse-face skirt underneath, looking slim and graceful.
"It's the eldest sister, why are the two sisters here free? Don't you need to accompany the old lady?" Shen Ziqiao's attitude towards them was lukewarm, and she treated them as they treated her.
Shen Zifen is not as good-looking as Shen Ziwen, and her behavior is not grand enough, revealing a sense of humbleness, she looked around Shen Ziqiao's room, and sure enough, every time her father came back, the things in Jiaojiao's room would increase, and everything was better than hers. I don't know how much.
"Jiaojiao, I heard that those women in charge didn't give you face in the morning?" Shen Zifen tried her best not to sound jealous.
Shen Ziqiao asked them to sit down, and asked Hongyu to take the almonds and other snacks that Shen Zikai brought back to entertain the guests.
"Brother is so kind to Jiaojiao." Shen Zifen could tell that these snacks were not available in the capital.
"I'm the elder brother's biological sister." Shen Ziqiao said with a smile, she and Shen Zikai are the closest at home, who else can he be nice to if he doesn't treat her well.
Shen Ziwen said, "What you said is wrong, aren't we brother's real sisters?"
"Yes, you are all younger sisters." Shen Ziqiao smiled.
They didn't come to argue with Shen Ziqiao! Shen Ziwen took Shen Ziqiao's hand gently, "It's not easy to be a housekeeper. You have never learned it. If you need any help, just tell the eldest sister."
"If necessary." Shen Ziqiao nodded, afraid that they would not help.
"Don't you need it now? Anyway, we learned from grandma for a few days, helping you because we don't want to see you being bullied by servants." Shen Zifen pouted her lips when she really didn't appreciate it at all.
Shen Ziqiao took a sip of tea, "No one dares to bully me yet."
"It's so good." Shen Ziwen glared at Shen Zifen, not allowing her to speak any more.
They were feeling uncomfortable, why would the old lady suddenly hand over the power of the family to this idiot, even if she was a descendant, but she can't do anything, at least the three sisters should be together.
Must be the idea of father and eldest brother.
They just wanted to come to see how Shen Ziqiao was ignored by the servants, but it seemed that this was not the case.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. This year's autumn clothes seem to be out of order, Jiaojiao, do you think they will be redistributed?" Shen Ziwen said with a smile.
autumn clothes? Isn't it a few days ago? "What's wrong?"
"We only have three sets." Shen Zifen said angrily.
"How many sets did you have in previous years?" Shen Ziqiao asked, but not about them, but about Hongyu.
Hongyu didn't even look at Shen Ziwen and the others, and replied respectfully to Shen Ziqiao, "It's always like this in previous years. The third lady has five sets, and the eldest and second misses have three sets."
Shen Ziwen smiled and said, "This year is different, the old lady said, this year we are all taller, and we are not too young..."
The implication is that you are not young, you should make plans for the future and know how to dress yourself up.
"Since the old lady said it, let's do it according to the old lady's words." Shen Ziqiao said.
Shen Ziwen and Shen Zifen's faces brightened, "Then let's talk to Mama Cui."
The two sisters went to find Mama Cui, but they said that Shen Ziqiao had promised to make more sets of autumn clothes for them. If you don't believe me, just ask Miss San.
Mother Cui agreed without saying anything.
Shen Ziqiao didn't know about this.
She was busy writing letters to the old man of Pan's family, but there was a problem. Does she know how to write? Traditional and simplified characters are not a problem. She has learned traditional characters before.
The key is to write with a brush. The tip of the brush is so soft that you can't apply force. If you are not careful, it will be blurred.
"Find a goose feather." After getting ink all over her hands, Shen Ziqiao finally threw down the brush in a rage, and asked someone to find a goose feather, and wrote a sincere letter with the ink on it.
alright! Shen Ziqiao looked at the letter she wrote with satisfaction.
Meng Niangzi and Hongyu silently tidied up the chaotic book case.
"Will my grandfather help me when he receives the letter?" Shen Ziqiao was confused, "What if they still refuse to forgive me?"
"No, the old man values his wife so much, he must love you very much." Mrs. Meng comforted.
"I hope so." Shen Ziqiao sighed.
They all blame the deity for being too useless, with such a good backer as the Pan family, they can't take advantage of it, and they have grown a head for nothing.
After Hongyu was asked to send the letter to the post station, a little maid came to report, and the three aunts came.
Such a coincidence that they came together again
"Invite the three aunts to the teahouse to enjoy tea." Shen Ziqiao ordered, and asked Mrs. Meng to accompany her to the teahouse.
