Hearing this, everyone else couldn't help laughing, and said that Mu Tao suddenly had a brain! It's just empiricism for a long time, and everything is pushed to the master.

Shen Qingwan laughed for a while, and said praisefully: "Actually, Mu Tao has improved a lot, at least I can see that I have ulterior motives." ”

Others couldn't help but be helpless, Miss would really give Mu Tao face, didn't she guess based on previous experience?

Mama Ye was a little puzzled after laughing: "The slave maid is indeed a little confused, Miss can obviously take this opportunity to drive the Chen family out of the mansion, and the purpose of letting the Chen family come over seems to have been achieved!" Why did you relent? ”

Mu Tao knew that she was a little stupid, and she couldn't see the essence of many things, so she listened very seriously at this time, and she didn't bother casually.

Shen Qingwan took a sip of tea, and her expression was meaningful: "Yes, I also planned to do so at the beginning, but I found some things and changed my mind temporarily." ”

Mama Ye and Mama Xu glanced at each other, and they knew in their hearts that it was definitely not a good thing.

"What did Mademoiselle find?" Mama Xu asked with some distress.

Shen Qingwan shook her head and said that she didn't care too much: "When I was solving the problem, I suddenly found that the reason why the old lady supported me so much was just to make me think about how much compensation to make." ”

Then I thought, keep the Chen family and play with them again! As long as you don't come to my yard, you'll be free. ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless.

Shen Qingwan smiled: "Now I know that my grandmother has never given up, and I am afraid that she is still beating the idea of the dowry that my mother left me." If I hadn't found out where I put it, I wouldn't have endured it until now. ”

Mama Xu was dumbfounded: "They are all granddaughters, how can they be biased like this?" ”

Mama Ye has experienced more superb people, but she is more able to accept this kind of thing, and after thinking about it, she said: "Then Miss, you have to be careful." The young lady is now decided, and the day of her marriage is visible, and the old lady may use other things to loot some back. ”

Shen Qingwan nodded: "I think so too, after so many years, I thought that the old lady had given up, but now it seems that I was too naïve." ”

Mu Tao was indignant: "The old lady also said that the young lady would give a dowry when she got married, and the Prime Minister said that it would be prepared according to the grade of the side concubine, how could this be?" ”

Shen Qingwan shook her head with a chuckle: "Don't think about these things, the Xiangfu has been very poor recently, the old lady and the Xiangye will say this, but for the sake of the face of the Xiangfu, take it from me, and they can prepare less things." ”

Mama Ye sighed and answered: "When the time comes, the Prime Minister will have face and less loss, why not?" ”

She has seen the old lady's ability to deduct money.

"This is normal, the Prime Minister not only has an old lady who can calculate, but also an Aunt Liu! Otherwise, how could the prime minister have such a chic time everywhere? Shen Qingwan scoffed, Shen Cheng's big hands were based on the savings given to him by the woman in the backyard, and he also sought Gu Yangxi's dowry at the beginning.

The first few times Gu Yangxi didn't know, and gave Shen Cheng a few sums of silver, but later discovered the essence of Shen Cheng, Gu Yangxi immediately became vigilant, not only would he not give money casually, but he also looked at his dowry very closely.

If it weren't for that, Gu Yangxi wouldn't have thought of slowly transferring his dowry to the Jingchen Temple.

At the same time, Gu Yangxi controlled the finances of the Prime Minister's Mansion very strictly, and in those years, Shen Cheng's life was not very good.

As a result, as soon as Gu Yangxi died, the finances of the Prime Minister's Mansion were accepted by Aunt Liu, and Shen Cheng's hands immediately became rich.

As if to get back the grievances of those years, Shen Cheng's daily expenses are frighteningly high.

"Hehe, what a man who doesn't know what to call it." Mama Ye obviously doesn't look down on the prime minister, because of personality and vision problems, Mama Ye has never been married for life, and obviously looks down on ordinary men, or in other words, there is a psychological shadow.

"Yes, I originally planned to use the 'imperial gift' to bluff the Chen family so that I didn't dare to come to the door again in the future, and reminded the old lady, but the old lady didn't understand, and still chose a soft policy for the Chen family, wasting the good situation I created." Although Shen Qingwan had expected the old lady to do this, it did not prevent her from complaining.

Obviously, she mentioned the imperial gift, as well as the dowry of King Qin, but it was unexpectedly revealed by the old lady, or she just didn't think about it.

Naturally, the people of the Chen family would not be stupid enough to mention it.

Such a good reason didn't work, and Shen Qingwan could only laugh, if she came, she would definitely make the Chen family unable to eat and walk around, and as much as she took, more would have to be spit out.

"Bullying the soft and fearing evil, the slave and maid can see it, and the old lady will actually only be ruthless in the nest." Mama Ye sneered, completely disdainful of this kind of elders who pit their own juniors.

A group of people sighed in the house, and the result soon came from Songshoutang, and the two sides were tied, and no one said compensation.

The most important thing is that Mrs. Shen also made a banquet for the Chen family that was comparable to the reception banquet that day, and the two families had dinner happily.

Originally, Old Madam Shen wanted to demonstrate, so that the Chen family could see the heritage and deterrence of the Prime Minister's Mansion, as well as her own soft and hard methods.

Obviously, Old Madam Shen had forgotten that the hard piece was made by Shen Qingwan, and she seemed to be soft all the time.

Therefore, the people of the Chen family are more and more afraid of Shen Qingwan, but they feel that Old Madam Shen is easy to bully, and they have already thought about it.

After Shen Qingwan heard it, she didn't know what to say, how did Old Madam Shen sit in the position of the head mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion back then? What can be done?

"The slave knows the young lady's doubts, before coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the slave and the maid have inquired carefully, the young lady was young at that time, maybe she doesn't know very well, the old prime minister is a soft-eared person, and she would have taken a fancy to Mrs. Shen at the beginning, and it was also because Mrs. Shen saved him once, because of this life-saving grace, the old man respected the old lady for a lifetime."

Mama Ye was a little embarrassed, she had read countless people, and she couldn't tell whether a man like the old prime minister was good or bad.

"It's true that my impression of my grandfather is already very vague." Shen Qing nodded lately, he didn't remember his previous life, let alone rebirth? Those memories were quite long ago for her.

"Didn't Miss find out? The old prime minister only has one son from your father, and he doesn't even have a concubine! Mama Ye chuckled: "It is said that there were few women in the backyard of the old prime minister at that time, and most of them were still the faces of the old lady. ”

Shen Qingwan nodded, thinking about it carefully, it was really like that, meeting a man like the old prime minister would indeed be considered a happy life for a woman.

"There was once a rumor that the old prime minister's health was not good, it was out of suffocation, and after marrying such a woman as the old lady, the old man could hardly make the decision." Mama Ye told Shen Qingwan all the news she had inquired about, and actually secretly observed Shen Qingwan's reaction.

The master's character is not something that can be figured out overnight, and many details have to be taken slowly.

Shen Qingwan chuckled, knowing what Mama Ye meant: "I see, the old lady is used to being domineering in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she can't be tough when she meets outsiders, she thinks that she is convincing people with virtue, and she can solve the problem by being generous and lenient, but it is okay in your circle, but dealing with the Chen family, hehe, it is nothing more than fueling the greed of the best." ”

"That's true, and the old couple of the Chen family have a total of five sons and five daughters, and they were also very hard at the beginning, so it's good to be able to support the children." Mama Ye turned to the news of the Chen family.

Shen Qingwan had been looking forward to this for a long time, and immediately showed some interest.

"Mama Ye is really powerful, even the news of the Chen family has been heard." After Shen Qingwan came into contact, he felt more and more strange, how did the Chen family's family background get on the line with Shen Cheng?

even made his daughter Xiangye's aunt, which seems a bit unreasonable.

"It's just that the young lady's people have already heard the news, and the slave maid is just sorting out the report, and the slave and maid can't deserve the biggest credit." Mama Ye smiled: "The Chen family's family is not good, but they still have Old Man Chen and his second son studying, and those days are not as good as day by day." ”

"In the end, he couldn't even marry his daughter-in-law, and Old Man Chen found that his third daughter, that is, the fifth aunt of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was becoming more and more symbolic, so he began to cultivate the fifth aunt to be literate and break the text, and slowly had a different temperament."

Shen Qingwan blinked, that is to say, Old Man Chen actually started to plan early in the morning?

Want to send your daughter to the official family to seek more benefits?

"When the time is ripe, although Mr. Chen is not a lifter, just a poor talent, he smashed the pot and sold iron with his third daughter, and followed his classmates who rushed to Beijing for the exam."

Mama Ye said, and she also admired Old Man Chen's courage.

"After going to Beijing, things didn't go very smoothly at first, after all, Beijing is not a small place in the countryside, and there are many beautiful women with temperament. As soon as Miss Chen Jiasan came in, she looked extremely ordinary. ”

Shen Qingwan nodded, it is true, the fifth aunt is also the most unremarkable one in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Over the years, Shen Cheng has hardly gone to her yard, he has no ability, no speciality, and lacks some means, everything is mediocre to ordinary, and he can't keep a man at all.

No wonder the Shengrui flower tea sent by Shen Cheng, the fifth aunt can't wait to enjoy it, not because of the preciousness of the flower tea, but because of the heart of Xiangye.

The fifth aunt has been left out in the cold for too long, and suddenly found that Xiangye still remembered herself, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Later, Old Man Chen inquired for a while, and finally locked the prime minister, and he didn't have to act in front of your father, with your father's character of pity and cherishing jade, he naturally brought the fifth aunt into the prime minister's mansion." Mama Ye chuckled: "It's a green and white yellow flower girl, and she is finely raised by the Chen family, and there is a bit of wildness that women in the city don't have, and the prime minister is also fresh for a while." ”

"But the women in the backyard of this big family will change in order to survive, and the fifth aunt has never had a good life, but she has slowly worn away the wildness, and the prime minister naturally loses interest."

"As soon as she entered the mansion, the fifth aunt won the favor of the prime minister, and also made the old lady Shen, who was eager to spread the leaves, pay attention to it, because her body was better than the women in the city, so she got a lot of silver taels and exquisite jewelry, all of which were brought back to the old man Chen, and the Chen family can almost be said to be rich in a hurry."

Shen Qingwan was speechless, what is the difference between this and selling her daughter? It's just a very good price.

It is estimated that from the perspective of the countryside, being able to be a concubine for Xiangye is simply a way out against the sky.

"Mama estimates, how much did Old Man Chen take?" Shen Qingwan thought of the appearance of the Chen family when they came to the mansion, and it was not easy to get such a patch!

"There are one hundred taels of silver, plus a few pieces of jewelry, even if it is sold at a discount, it will not be less than two hundred taels, at least Old Man Chen also took back three hundred taels." Mama Ye smiled: "In the village in the countryside, you can be a landlord who can collect rent comfortably." ”

Shen Qingwan nodded, plus he searched it once, although most of it had been recovered, the part that the Chen family took was enough.

No wonder the Chen family seems to have read books, and the Chen sisters are no exception, they clearly have such conditions.

Moreover, Shen Qing noticed that the hands of the Chen sisters were very white and clean, and they had never worked at all, and they didn't look like girls working in the countryside.

The next day, Shen Qing got up early in the morning and dressed up carefully, obviously going out.

Ah Mu and Mama Ye frowned a little, because today was the housewarming of the Qin Palace, and Shen Cheng handed over the message last night and asked Shen Qingwan to go with him.

Shen Yijia is going to marry King Qin, but it is not easy to go, and the injury on his face has not healed yet, and he can't go out to meet people with makeup.

Shen Qingwan picked a white jade bead of butterfly love flowers and asked Mu Tao to insert it for herself, then lowered her head and began to choose a bracelet.

Mama Ye couldn't help it, and said, "Miss, if you dress up like this and go to the Qin Palace, I'm afraid you're going to follow in the footsteps of the county lord of Yiyang and let people gossip." ”

Although it is not dressed up, it is much more elaborate than going to the Chu Palace, and he deliberately put on light makeup, which makes a difference between a clear-eyed person at a glance.

When I went to King Qin's Mansion today, there must be a lot of people waiting to see a good show, didn't Shen Qingwan have to hit the muzzle of the gun?

Shen Qingwan picked out a pair of blue jade bracelets, which matched today's blue and white dress.

Hearing Mama Ye's words, Shen Qingwan put the jade bracelet into her wrist for a moment, looked up and saw Mama Ye's expression in the mirror, and found that what she said was deliberately tactful.

Shen Qingwan couldn't help laughing, and the action of wearing jewelry continued: "Who said that I was going to the Qin Palace?" ”

Well? The people in the house were stunned, what is the situation of the master?

Just as Mu Tao's dress was finished, Shen Qingwan stood up and stroked Luo's skirt: "What does the joy of the housewarming of the Qin Mansion have to do with me?" I am the side concubine of the king of Chu, so I said that I would avoid suspicion, and no one would say that I was rude. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, since they didn't go, they all went out, and it would be rude to be known!

"Miss, then yesterday a man from Xiangye came over, did you listen so seriously?" Mama Xu can't see through what her young lady is thinking.

"Seriously? I wasn't even listening, who knows what the man said? Shen Qingwan pursed her lips, indicating that she had no intention of doing what Shen Cheng said.

She is already the side concubine of the King of Chu, and she still let her go to the Qin Palace? Is this to pull out and show off? Or is it an ulterior motive?

Shen Qingwan knew that Shen Cheng didn't have that brain, nor did she have that courage, but she was not at ease with King Qin.

"......" Everyone was a little speechless, so that is so?

"Then Miss, where are you going? You went to another place, but you avoided the housewarming of the Qin Palace, I'm afraid it's hard to say. Mama Ye couldn't help asking, and she was relieved.

Shen Qingwan dressed up so carefully not to go to the Qin Palace, so he would not discredit the Chu Palace, and other things were easy to say.

However, Mama Ye obviously hoped that if Shen Qingwan was not in a hurry, she could stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion today, so as not to be caught.

Those who worked under the King of Chu knew that the King of Qin regarded the King of Chu as his biggest enemy, and his own master could still tease the King of Qin in the past, but recently the King of Chu's hatred for the King of Qin seems to have increased, so he naturally has to share the same hatred.

Shen Qingwan smiled and didn't rush to answer, but walked to the side and looked at himself in front of the big mirror.

Since the previous dynasty, there was a genius businessman who invented glass, and the mirror has already spread to every household, and this kind of large mirror is not expensive, and women must have it.

Shen Qingwan turned around: "Am I so good-looking?" ”

The three maids and the two grandmothers were all questioned by Shen Qingwan, even if Amu and Mama Ye had only been in the house for a long time, they knew that Shen Qingwan was not a person who loved appearances.

What's going on today? Just dress up carefully, and ask her if she looks good like this?

Although he was a little stunned, he couldn't help but nod his head at Shen Qingwan's hopeful gaze, it was indeed very beautiful.

Although Shen Qingwan's facial features have not yet grown, they are obviously a little exquisite, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

This is even more eye-catching when you dress up slightly.

After receiving the affirmation, Shen Qingwan frowned: "Amu go prepare the carriage, after breakfast, I will go out." ”

Shen Qingwan felt that she couldn't stop the excitement of her mood, and couldn't help but feel free: "The prince is leaving Beijing today, and I don't know when I will come back when I will go to the south to inspect him, so I will send him off." ”

Ah Mu and Mama Ye were stunned for a while, it is true that the King of Chu is leaving Beijing today, and because of this, they didn't expect Shen Qingwan to go to see the King of Chu like this.

Mama Xu didn't know the inside story, and she didn't ask much, she just nodded: "It should indeed be sent, then the Qin Wangfu knows that the young lady is out, and he can't blame it." ”

"Hmm!" Shen Qingwan turned around and took out his medicine box and began to check what was inside.

After Mama Ye came back to her senses, she immediately whispered to Amu: "Hurry up and inform the prince, don't leave the city in advance." ”

Mama Ye knew the habits of the King of Chu and knew that he would choose to go out of the city every time there were few people, and she didn't want to be too conspicuous.

Although the person who should know will not miss it, it can be seen that the king of Chu is unwilling to disturb, so he will not come forward to provoke.

Therefore, in the past, when the king of Chu went out, most of them would choose when the sky was not yet dawning.

Although Shen Qing got up early in the evening, he could go over after eating, but he was afraid that the sky was already bright and the prince had already left.

Amu's news was delivered in a timely manner, because when the king of Chu received the news, he had already left the gate of the palace, pulling the reins of his horse and preparing to fly up.

"Really?" King Chu's movements paused, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, Lord Wang, Miss Shen is about to go out." A subordinate clenched his fist and reported.

"Oh!" King Chu bent his eyebrows and showed a very sincere smile.

After pondering for a while, the King of Chu thought that it would be better to simply pick up Shen Qing, and when the time came, they would go out of the city together, and they could meet earlier, so the King of Chu turned over and got on the horse.

When the subordinates who were already preparing to set off heard the news, they thought that their master would postpone the departure, and it would not be an hour or two anyway.

Who knows, the king of Chu suddenly got on the horse, and everyone suddenly couldn't understand it.

However, after the king of Chu got on the horse, he did not say to leave, but pondered for a while, and suddenly dismounted again.
