Chapter Seventy-Seven: Reckoning
On the way back to Ronghui Hall, Shen Moyun made a calculation.
Cui Yiheng's bamboo hairpin seems to be really his favorite, that day in Jinling, Shen Moyun put eight hundred taels of silver and didn't ask for it, but as long as this inconspicuous bamboo hairpin, it is actually very discerning!
A few days ago, when she knew that the former "Mountain Prince" was a famous and high-status general, she was really happy, which means that she can exchange this hairpin for a big price or big benefits, at least a thousand taels of snowflake silver is definitely appropriate.
But now it's good, this hairpin was used by her to repay Cui Yiheng's kindness in solving the situation, she lost more than 1,000 taels of silver for no reason, and this windfall suddenly flew like this, so how can she not be in pain?
One thousand taels of unknown silver, put it outside to buy a shop or save it to make profits, and she will have confidence in the future! For a while, the roots of Shen Moyun's teeth were bitten by herself.
"Sister, how can you Shen Mansion ask a foreign man to come in and out at will?"
"Good sister, this Shen Mansion is not under my control!" Shen Moyun glanced at Guo Jia with a smile, "Grandmother is wise, this matter must be blinded!"
Guo Jia immediately understood what Shen Moyun meant, and talked and laughed with her all the way into Ronghui Hall.
The old lady must have received the news that Guo Jia had arrived in the Shen Mansion, and at this moment she was wearing a brand new gemstone blue weaving silver silk peony tuanhua gown, sitting at the Nanmu tooth table and drinking tea.
As soon as he saw Guo Jia enter the door, Lu called "good boy" with a look of surprise, pulled Guo Jia with a smile on his face, and took off a precious pink tourmaline bead bracelet from his wrist and put it on her wrist.
The tourmaline color is transparent, the luster is full, and there is no trace of impurities, it seems that the Lu family has been prepared, and it is a big capital as soon as it is shot!
Lu Shi greeted Guo Jia warmly, and the maids were busy serving tea and fruits, and the whole inner room was busy all of a sudden.
The old lady smiled and said to Shen Moyun: "You kid, you don't know the rules! Miss Guo is coming, and she doesn't know how to find someone to come back early to report a message, so she didn't prepare anything." I'm afraid that my wife will not be well entertained!"
Shen Moyun just smiled.
"That's right! What about Qing'er? Why didn't I come with you? I really neglected the distinguished guest! Wei Zi! Go, find the second miss!"
"No need, old lady!" Guo Jia sneered twice unceremoniously, "What kind of guest am I? Second Miss didn't come back with us!"
Hearing the unhappiness in Miss Guo's words, the old lady was naturally a little anxious.
"What the hell happened?What did Qing'er's girl do to make Miss Guo unhappy?The old man compensated Miss Guo for Qing'er, Qing'er, she was ...... anxious."
"No, old lady, the person who the second girl wants to compensate is not me, it's Sister Yun! Since I came to the Shen Mansion today. Just say a few more words. If you say something wrong, please don't take it to heart!"
That Guo Jia was used to being domineering, and he was aggressive when he opened his mouth, and the old lady could only say: "Naturally!
"The old lady is old, and she can't keep up......! Hey, let me be straight: The second girl of your mansion is a concubine, why does she have a carriage equipped with private equipment? Sister Yun is the eldest daughter of the concubine, but she can't get in the carriage but she is pitiful and walks all the way to my general's mansion?
People who don't know must think that Shen Moqing is the eldest daughter of your mansion? Old lady, don't you know, when I found Sister Yun, she was tired and out of breath on the road!
Look at this figure of my sister Yun. This look, even if you wear a gauze hat, this is really eye-catching on the road! This powerless daughter is walking alone on the road, saying something that shouldn't be said, I'm afraid that there are people in your mansion who want something to happen to Sister Yun!"
The old lady stared at her face, this Guo Jia is famous, and she has no handle to say crazy words, but she is afraid that something will happen again.
When I asked, I found out that a good carriage would suddenly break the axle on the main road. At first glance, someone did it deliberately, in order to make Shen Moyun go to the General's Mansion. Hearing it again, Shen Moqing even deceived the invitation in advance, and the old lady could guess that it must have been Shen Moqing's doing!
So sarcastic by a thirteen-year-old girl. The old lady couldn't help but feel turbid, her face turned a little pale, and she secretly cursed Shen Moqing, the granddaughter who was difficult to get into the elegant hall, but she could only promise that she would investigate the matter thoroughly.
Guo Jiake didn't think that this solution could satisfy her, so he picked up the celadon bowl and took a sip of tea, "This is the old lady's private matter! I can't take care of it.
It's just that Sister Yun is too aggrieved, I'll decide to give my sister a carriage and a coachman! lest my sister have to watch when she goes out in the car, and she won't be a long-term grandmother!"
If the Shen family accepted Guo Jia's carriage, wouldn't it be a slap in the mouth? How could the old lady allow it? Immediately patted her chest and promised, "Miss Guo, save some face for the old body! If such a thing happens, even if Miss Guo doesn't say it, my Shen Mansion will definitely give Yun'er a separate carriage! I don't have to ask anyone to say that my Shen Mansion is not divided into concubines!"
"Hmm...... Since the old lady insists on this, then I'm not welcome!" As soon as Guo Jia's words came out, Shen Moyun noticed that the corners of Lu's mouth twitched obviously.
"By the way, I think about it, the old lady said that day that she would give a part of the housekeeping to her sister?"
"Good sister, I haven't settled down in the past few days, how can I have time to ......" Shen Moyun came out at the right time to relieve the old lady.
"Sister Yun, this is yours, isn't it! Presiding over the feeder and housekeeper is something that women like me must learn. Now that the old lady is willing to give you a chance, what could be more important than this? What's more, I think it's because my sister has just returned home and doesn't ask about the world, so even a random coachman in the Shen Mansion dares to bully you?
Lu's temples began to beat again! That day, her words about Aunt Xia's housekeeping were mainly for everyone to hear, just to show that the Shen Mansion was just and fair. Why did she really want to call her granddaughter housekeeper? However, since the eldest granddaughter had made many noble friends, it was necessary to learn some housekeeping skills in a timely manner.
"Miss Guo is very right! Yun'er, you have to be in time for more than a year, you can't be lazy about this! From tomorrow, you will go to the hall to learn housekeeping from your aunt and grandmother!"
Shen Moyun's heart was overjoyed, but his face could only be said lightly!
Then, Guo Jia began to be angry and said again about Shen Moqing's troubles in the second courtyard of the General's Mansion.
The old lady didn't expect that the trip to the General's Mansion that she had planned for many days would be so lightly ruined at the hands of this second granddaughter, not to mention the loss of face in the Shen Mansion, and she also committed such a serious crime as insulting and cursing the second rank of the imperial court, she couldn't help but tremble with anger, her lips trembled, and she patted the table and vowed to punish Shen Moqing severely......
