Afterwards, Nanny Zhao, who came out of the carriage, could see the plans of these people at a glance, and her complexion did not change. If Chu Xiuming was a lust, Emperor Cheng would not be so taboo against him. Nanny Zhao herself would not look down on him. Shang Chengdi, in this way, I feel that Chengdi is the king of a country, and he plays some women's tricks, not only stingy but also low.
It was already evening when we arrived in the capital, and Chu Xiuming simply didn't ask someone to wake Shen Jin up. Even Chu Xiuming didn't want to let someone wake her up in the morning, but went to practice martial arts by himself.
The people from the border town all know Chu Xiuming's habits, but the people in the Earl's Mansion don't know, those maids are dressed up in gorgeous clothes early in the morning, but they are not stupid, An Ning has already discovered the one who carries the water and the one who carries the jug. , quietly told Zhao Nanny, Zhao Nanny sneered, and only said, "Don't worry about it."
Shen Jin was woken up in the morning, and there were piercing screams outside. If Shen Jin didn't wake up, he might not be asleep, but would be dead asleep.
Zhao mama didn't expect that she had become like this before she made a move, but she didn't care about anything else, and hurried in to look at Shen Jin, fearing that she would be frightened.
Shen Jin was in good spirits, not confused at all, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Momo said, "It's also the negligence of the old slave. The little one was arranged outside yesterday, and I came here early this morning after smelling it."
Shen Jin frowned when she heard the uninterrupted shouting outside, but Mother Zhao said, "An Ning, go and watch, don't hurt anyone."
Whether the person hurt the dog or the dog hurt the person, Mammy Zhao didn't say, and An Ning didn't ask either.
Chu Xiuming was in the courtyard next door, and he was also startled. Displeasure flashed in his eyes. After putting away his weapons, he went back. Because of his martial arts training, he was wearing a bunt, which made him look slender and picturesque.
Seeing Chu Xiuming, some of the screaming maids covered their faces with their hands, some half covered their sleeves with their sleeves, and some looked at Chu Xiuming with teary eyes.
The little boy squatted on the ground, scratched his ears with his hind legs, and wagged his tail when he saw Chu Xiuming, "Wow barking a few times."
The little one at this time is not scary at all, but looks a little cute, except that he is a little bigger, and he is even more innocent when he tilts his head slightly and sticks out his tongue.
They didn't have the grinning look when they first came in and saw them. These maids really thought they had encountered wolves.
Chu Xiuming didn't even look at it, he stopped next to the little one, patted his head, and walked inside with it, and An Ning also came out at this time, and after Chu Xiuming went in, he saw a group of beautiful faces in the yard turn pale The person said, "Take them all down."
Before An Ning could say a second word, the women and women guards brought by the border town had already come up, carrying them one by one, and throwing them out in pairs.
When Chu Xiuming came in, he saw Madam Zhao serving Shen Jin to wash and wash, and Shen Jin was staring at the bronze mirror in a daze. Seeing Chu Xiuming, he asked, "Did you disturb your husband?"
"It's just a clown jumping on the beam." Chu Xiuming said, and then asked the boy to wash it with water.
Zhao Nanny said softly, "Madam, do you have something in mind?"
Shen Jin thought for a while and nodded, "Is the kitchen ready?"
The corners of Zhao Momo's eyes twitched, and she said, "It's already packed, and I'll replace it with the person I brought. I'm afraid it will be too late today. What Madam wants to explain, I'll let someone do it at noon."
"Mama can figure it out." Shen Jin said, "Doesn't my husband need to go to the palace?"
Chu Xiuming wasn't as worried as Mother Zhao, and said after hearing the words, "I'll go later, I'm afraid it's Princess Rui and the others who should go back home today."
Shen Jin calculated in his mind and said, "Then pack up your things today, send the invitation card, and visit tomorrow." Although she knew that her mother would be safe and sound by the side of Princess Rui, she was still worried and went by herself Seeing Ansheng in his heart, "Is your husband going?"
"Of course I want to go." Chu Xiuming smiled, "I also want to see the place where the lady grew up."
Shen Jin also laughed, and began to pull Chu Xiuming to talk about things about Prince Rui's Mansion, such as the pond in the garden.
He stopped when he was eating, and after changing the court clothes with Chu Xiuming, he stretched his waist and said, "Mother Zhao, gather all the servants in the mansion into the front hall."
"Yes." Zhao Mama didn't ask too much, since the general's intention was to leave the affairs of the manor to Madam, she just stood by and assisted, and she must not point fingers.
An Ning and An Ning didn't know what Shen Jin's plan was, so they stood beside Shen Jin and walked to the front hall when they felt that it was almost time. Today, Mother Zhao changed Shen Jin into a water-red dress. Although the material was not Yuehua brocade, it was It's not bad, because it's at home, and it doesn't mean to dress up.
After arriving at the front hall, I saw a few stewards standing in front of the mansion, maids and servants, even the rough envoy's mother-in-law were called over according to the roster.
When everyone saw Shen Jin, their hearts were relieved. Shen Jin had a tender face, a pair of moist almond eyes, and naturally upturned lips. He looked like a soft-tempered person, in other words, he was easy to deceive.
Shen Jinfan didn't look through the roster, but just asked, "The son of the former general's family also stood up."
This is really not true, because the roots of the Chu family are all in the border towns, and there is no one in Yongning Bofu in the capital. Shen Jin felt that things were much simpler, and then handed the roster to Zhao Momo and said, "Mom See if there are any familiar ones."
After hearing the words, Mother Zhao casually flipped through the pages, and said, "This old slave has been away from Beijing for a long time, and I don't know anyone I'm familiar with."
Shen Jin nodded and said, "That's good, that's it, let's take out the ledger."
All the stewards knew in their hearts that this was a necessary process. After knowing the news of Yongning Bo’s return to Beijing, all the books were redone to ensure that everything was safe. In fact, the expenses of Yongning Bo’s mansion were Yongning Bo’s salary, but Emperor Cheng directly Someone sent Yongningbo's salary to the Yongningbo's mansion, and the people in the mansion found that Yongningbo didn't care about it at the border. He had grown up courageous and didn't send it to the border town at all. future.
Anping went to collect all the ledgers, and Shen Jin asked, "Is there anything else?"
The butler said respectfully, "No, all the ledgers are in the counting room. Madam can send someone to count them. This is the general ledger."
Shen Jin nodded and said directly, "Come here and send these housekeepers to... find an empty yard and send them in, so that you can entertain them. Manager Zhao, go and check the accounts. If there is no problem, send them home."
Have a question? Before the steward in the general's mansion opened his mouth, he was taken away by the guards from the border town.
Manager Zhao was specially brought by Chu Xiuming. Shen Jin already knew that Chu Xiuming was a stingy and vengeful man. He was just too lazy to take care of these matters in the Earl's Mansion, and he was not his own. If he wanted to die, he would follow them. Count it together.
"Yes." Manager Zhao didn't ask any further questions, and the young apprentice next to him took over the keys to the general ledger and account room and stood behind Manager Zhao.
Shen Jin said, "If you're too busy, go...to borrow a few people from Prince Rui's Mansion, and I will greet my concubine."
"Yes." Zhao Guanshi still didn't say much.
Shen Jin didn't care, and said, "Then you go, see how many people are missing and tell me."
After Zhao Guanshi saluted, he took his disciples down.
"Which ones are served by the main courtyard?" Shen Jin asked.
As soon as these words came out, she walked out from among the maids with her head bowed.
Shen Jin looked at more than twenty beautiful maids. They were not as gorgeous as they were in the morning, and their clothes were much more plain. Bring their deeds of selling their lives, and each of them will give another five taels of silver, let's give them all away."
"Ma'am..."
As soon as these words came out, these maids all knelt down and began to cry, "Madam, this servant will serve Madam and Uncle Yongning faithfully, and never dare..."
"Look, everyone is crying with joy." Shen Jin concluded, "Don't be too grateful to me, so that each person will add a tael of silver, just as a dowry from the Earl's Mansion, so beautiful, she won't be worried about not being able to get married."
Before they could make trouble again, An Ning had already passed by, and picked up the two maids who wanted to hug Shen Jin's feet and threw them outside. What kind of talent is worthy of it, I am really worried.
Mother Zhao said in a cold voice, "Could they be deaf and can't hear Madam's orders?" These words were addressed to those rough envoys, "The Earl's Mansion never takes in useless people."
On the contrary, a woman with a gold bracelet on her hand said, "I'm afraid it's not good for Ma'am. Some of them were given by Your Majesty. It's better to deal with them when Bo Yongning comes back." She felt that Shen Jin was too jealous, but she didn't think this It would be Yongningbo's idea.
Hearing this, Shen Jin looked over and said, "If it's not easy to deal with it like this, don't worry, I will naturally talk to Uncle Huang."
The woman's eyes widened, and only then did she realize that Bo Yongning's wife is a princess, a relative of the emperor, and it is impossible to use the Holy Majesty and Bo Yongning to suppress her.
No one dared to raise any opinions anymore, and the two rough envoys sent them out with a beautiful maid.
Shen Jin looked at those ordinary-looking people again, and said, "You are not as beautiful as them, forget it, Madam Zhao will give each of them seven taels of silver, together with the deed of sale, you can buy more money for dowry It’s good to choose someone.”
The style of painting is wrong! There is an ordinary-looking girl hiding among the crowd, and she is entangled in her heart. How did this result? Give an extra tael of silver and then send it away
"I'm willing to serve Madam." They are also a little smarter, thinking that Shen Jin is preventing someone from seducing Chu Xiuming, that's why they are like this. This time, only Shen Jin is mentioned and Chu Xiuming is not mentioned. Besides, they are all ordinary in appearance, so it should be in the way Don't pay attention.
Shen Jin said, "No, there is someone waiting by my side."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, which made the old woman feel uneasy. She didn't dare to delay at this time, and quickly sent everyone out with a strong attitude.
At this time, all that was left were some younger maids. Shen Jin didn't say anything about letting them marry, but just said, "Register who remembers where the home is, and you don't need the money you redeemed. Personally give eight taels of silver, let's all go home."
"My servant has no home anymore." The little girl who was only six or seven years old knelt on the ground and cried, "I beg your wife to have mercy, my servant's mother died early, and my servant's father remarried..." The life experience is so pitiful that the listener feels sad tears.
"I'm sorry." Shen Jin sighed. When everyone thought that Shen Jin would leave her behind, they heard her say, "In that case, let's send her to learn a craft. If you can't rely on your family, you have to rely on yourself." Shen Jin sincerely said Said, "Who else wants to learn the craft? No one else? Then go out and get the bond and money and go."
