Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 196 Nobles (5)

Xiaotao froze when she heard this, her whole body was tense, and she was so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe too hard.

Chai saw her big black eyes flickering uneasily, watery and pitiful, and said a little softly: "I didn't say these words to scare you. You are a docile child, so I am relieved to let you go." You go to serve Nylon. I'm just worried that Nylon is too good to you, and I will spoil you in the future."

When Xiaotao heard this, she knelt on the ground quickly, and said in response: "Madam's words, I must keep in mind my maidservant, remind myself at all times, never forget my duty, and serve Young Master Jinlun with all my heart."

Seeing this, Mrs. Chai smiled faintly, raised her hand and said, "Okay, get up. Go back to the house and pack up your things. When Jin Lun comes back in the evening, he will be very happy to see you here."

Xiaotao got up slowly, her face blushed even more than before.

Mrs. Chai was a little tired. After rinsing her mouth, she lay down on the back, closed her eyes slightly and said, "You know how to serve me. So, don't be too cautious. Being petty and restrained is not pleasing... ..."

After finishing what was to be said, Mrs. Chai lightly raised her hand to signal Xiaotao to step back, and was going to take advantage of sleepiness and just squat here for a while to take a nap.

Xiaotao retreated lightly, and only after she got out of the door did she let out a heavy breath.

During this period of time, when she stayed by Chai's side, she was worried like this almost every day.

It's okay to be careless, Chai's smiling eyes look gentle, but they are actually very sharp. Once they set their sights on someone, it's hard for anyone to get rid of them.

Chai finally allowed her to go back to serve the second young master, she knew that her chance had come.

Xiaotao walked out of the courtyard slowly, feeling a little apprehensive in her heart, and then looked up at the sun, and suddenly she felt hesitant.

She first went back to her room to pack her clothes, and then, taking advantage of Mrs. Chai's afternoon nap, she quietly went to Changchun Garden.

It will be time for a nap, and there are almost no people in the garden. Occasionally, two women tending flowers and plants pass by, but they also come and go in a hurry.

When Xiaotao came to the rockery she passed by when she first met Zhu Jinlun, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, she dodged to the back of the rockery, then opened the rouge box she carried with her, and wrote clearly on the wall with her fingers A "An" word.

A word is also a code, inconspicuous, hidden and safe.

The garden is very large, the rockery is surrounded by trees and flowers, and the path behind it is also extremely hidden. Unless one intentionally finds this place, no one is willing to walk into such a cool and humid place.

Wu Ma said before that if everything is fine for her, she will leave the word "An" here, and if she encounters any trouble, she will write the word "One" on the wall.

After Xiaotao entered Zhu's house, she only met Wu Ma once, but she clearly remembered every word and every word she said.She knew that she was lucky to be able to escape from the hands of those black-hearted people. She didn't have to sleep in the open, she didn't have to be abused, and she wouldn't be sold at will to those dirty places that made life worse than death.She knew very well in her heart that she was able to be saved thanks to the blessing of the nobleman, so if she wants to repay her kindness, she must also repay her kindness.

Here she has food and clothing, a roof tile to cover her head, and a bed to sleep in. She doesn't need to be hungry or beaten. As long as she pleases the second young master, the world will be peaceful... So, what is there for her to be dissatisfied with? ?

Xiaotao walked back slowly all the way, feeling a little complicated. During these days she stayed by Chai's side, and she knew more or less about the Zhu family's affairs. Although she was not careful enough, it was enough for her to learn to act cautiously.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, just as she had expected when she entered the door, she was going to work by Zhu Jinlun's side, and there was no doubt that she would consummate the marriage with the second young master in a short time.Maybe it's today, maybe it's tomorrow... Thinking of this, her face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly trot all the way back to her room, not wanting to be found with her flushed face.

In a flash, it's time to distribute monthly cases every month.

It has been a full month since Shen Yuechen came back to Zhu's house. When she was not there before, all trivial matters in the yard were handed over to Cao Shi for temporary management.She is the eldest aunt, the oldest and the highest status, she is undoubtedly the best candidate to replace Shen Yuechen.

When the Cao family managed the yard, they really made a lot of money.Over the years, she has rarely had such an opportunity to be the master of her son in a dignified manner.

During this period of nearly half a year, she corrupted a lot of money, and the sum of the zeros and zeros totaled nearly 200 taels.

However, Shen Yuechen has returned now, and only she can make decisions about matters inside and outside the courtyard, and no one else can interfere.

After Shen Yuechen came back, the proportions of the people in the courtyard remained as usual, neither increasing nor decreasing.Moreover, she also checked the two ledgers in the courtyard.It's just that you don't know if you don't look at it, and you are shocked when you see it.

It's only been a few months, but the account books they handed in are messy, almost every page has miscalculations, and many places are unclear, and the prices are inconsistent. Not one.

Shen Yuechen read it patiently, and couldn't help frowning slightly. The ledger is in such a mess, there must be many loopholes that can be exploited.It is estimated that Cao's pockets must have bulged a lot during this period of time... Shen Yuechen closed the account book, thought about it a little, and made a secret decision.

This month's quota, Shen Yuechen didn't hand it over to his servants to distribute, but asked everyone in the yard to come to him to collect it himself.

After everyone received the monthly report, Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, and said plainly: "It's been almost a month since I came back. I haven't been able to find time to take a good look at you before. So, today, I'm going to take the opportunity to This is a monthly opportunity to bring everyone together to say a few words."

All the people in the courtyard gathered neatly inside and outside the main room, the aunts and maids stood quietly inside the house, while the rough envoys, maids, maids and servants stood on the porch, respectfully pricking their ears , Listening carefully to every word she said.

Shen Yuechen glanced across the crowd in a hurry, and then continued: "You all know that it was really not easy for me to come back here from the capital. But since I'm back, everyone should continue to hold my hand. Be well-behaved and be a good errand. Also, my body is my own decision, and I don’t need anyone to worry about it. You just need to take care of everything in this courtyard for me, and make the accounts clear. Spend your money honestly, don't be lazy, don't waste it, that is the greatest respect to my master. However, if anyone insists on not knowing what is good and what is wrong, doing things uncleanly, speaking and acting disrespectfully, the result will only be One, that is family law disposal!"

These words, Shen Yuechen spoke politely, but also a little bit sharply.

After Cao Shi heard this, she couldn't help raising her head and glanced at her slightly, but seeing her eyes just fell on her, her heart moved slightly, and she continued to lower her eyes silently.

Shen Yuechen knew very well in her heart that since she came back, everyone was secretly talking about her, how long can she stay in Zhu's house, how long?But the result was unexpected, Shen Yuechen did not leave sadly as everyone expected, on the contrary, he was a little more severe than before... Shen Yuechen didn't make a long speech, but just expressed his attitude concisely.

Cao has been secretly speculating on her thoughts, not knowing how she will treat him.

She's already greedy for money, and she doesn't plan to spit it out again.Even if Shen Yuechen really saw something, she would grit her teeth and hold on, and would never admit her mistake easily.

However, Shen Yuechen didn't blame her at all, but only gave a few words of advice, which were all about Zhu Ying's daily necessities and accounts, but he didn't mention a single word.

Seeing this, Cao's heart, which had been on hold before, let go a little, only to feel that Shen Yuechen must have let her go on purpose.

Thinking about it carefully, she is now in Zhu's family. Although she is still a legitimate young lady, she is different from the past.

Cao shi used to flatter her everywhere, but now, she doesn't want to be so thoughtful.She knew that she had no guts to act recklessly like Qin's, and she didn't want to break her own way like Sun's.What she wants is just a little more favor, a little more money, and a little more benefit.

Cao doesn't like to fight, she likes to count, so why bother to grab something that can be counted?
Seeing Shen Yuechen calmly let Cao Shi go, Wu Ma stepped forward and said, "Aunt Cao has neglected Miss a lot recently, why didn't Miss take this opportunity to beat her up?"

Shen Yuechen said quietly: "She is dissatisfied with me in her heart. I beat her this time, but it's just a fire in her heart. It's useless to talk too much. If you want people to be convinced, you have to show some achievements."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ma quickly asked, "Miss, do you have any plans?"

Shen Yuechen nodded: "Well, I just feel bored in this square yard every day. So, I want to learn how to do business."

Do business?Wu Ma was slightly startled, Chun Ming and Cui Xin also came forward, looking very curious.

"Miss, what kind of business do you want to do? Is it possible that you still sell calligraphy and paintings like before?"

Shen Yuechen shook his head: "Although the calligraphy and painting are elegant, it takes too much trouble to put them together. Moreover, I don't know those literati who like to be arty, so it is not easy to make a famous one. I want to make something new, and others have not done it. It's over, I basically have an idea in my mind. In two days, let's go out of the house to look around, let me think more about it."

When she was a child, she used to earn money by writing letters for others in the market at the foot of the mountain.A penny, a letter, a whole day of hard work, but only a dozen pennies.When she grew up, she began to write and paint, and then asked someone to take it to the town to sell for money, and gradually accumulated fame.

Shen Yuechen, Shen Danqing...Although they are the same person, they have different identities.

Shen Yuechen is very self-aware, she is not a famous celebrity, what she wants to do now is not to sing the wind and praise the moon, but to make achievements as soon as possible, so that the Zhu family can look at her with admiration and see her strengths and talents, instead of , Closely staring at her shortcomings and deficiencies.

She wants to change, the Zhu family's attitude towards her, and people need to be convinced of her, and she must be a good young mistress of the Zhu family.
