Chapter 0028 - A Long-Term Plan
"Father, it's all irrelevant." Shen Qi flipped through the manuscript of the poem for a long time and said disappointedly.
Shen Kan, who was watching coldly, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that fortunately, the second sister was not confused and did not knowingly commit a crime. At the same time, I can't help but be afraid that if I find poems expressing my admiration, it is likely that Shen Peiwei will be deeply stimulated, and finally an irreparable tragedy will occur.
Ritual killing.
And Shen Jiamo obviously didn't realize this, just waved his hand and said, "A fire is burning."
Shen Peiwei, who was standing on the side, stopped crying after being persuaded by the maid Ru'er, and let Shen Wei throw her hard work into the charcoal basin with a numb look, and soon the flames were burning.
Shen Kan waved his hand and brushed away the black ash that floated over, and there was no way to step forward to comfort him at this time.
Seeing that the manuscript of the poem was burned, Shen Jiamo stood up, and after tossing for about a long time, his anger was almost gone, and of course he did not forget to reprimand his daughter again before leaving.
Coming out of the second room, Shen Qi, who still looked very excited, said with a smile as he walked: "A friend asked me to change the pair for him the day before yesterday, his parents are both complete, one wife and two concubines, and they first wrote the old sentence 'The days increase the years, and the people increase the blessings, and the spring is full of blessings', and I was not satisfied, so I had to change it to include the meaning of the whole family photo."
Shen Kan, who had already begun to dislike him, nodded casually, speechless.
"Fifth brother, you go slowly." Shen Qi couldn't help but laugh a few times, "I deliberately teased him, so I picked up the pen and changed the number, 'The lord increases the years and the mother increases the longevity, and the wife is full of concubines', haha!" He was so satisfied that he happily took it, he was really unlearned. ”
People ask you for help, but you tease them? Shen Kan hated him more and more, and this was not a rich man who was teasing unkindly.
Shen Kan couldn't help but say: "Interesting, it just so happens that I also know a person, his mother has a few days of forty birthdays, and she is a famous in the neighborhood, so I will borrow your pair to change two words to him."
"How to change?" Shen Qi asked with a smile.
In the dark night, Shen Kan glanced at him and said slowly: "The days increase the years, the mother increases the longevity, and the spring is full of the father."
"What a father, haha!" Shen Qi suddenly burst out laughing.
"Huh!" Shen Kan also smiled lightly, but then thought of how different he was from Shen Qi now? shouldn't have accused Sang of scolding Huai for talking about his mother's past, it was too inauthentic, so he didn't say anything more and said goodbye.
Fortunately, Shen Yu, who was laughing, didn't notice it, otherwise he would have to hate him to death.
Early in the morning, Shen Kan, who was worried about Shen Peiwei, rushed to the Zhengluo mansion with Cai Dong, walked to the porch, and heard a noisy sound from inside.
The curtain was lifted, and my grandmother's two big girls walked out.
Five short figures, a small square face named Caixia, sixteen years old this year, but in the early years of the hometown was a disaster, parents became homeless, and went to Shenjia Village to take refuge in the Shen family.
Now the family has rented twenty acres of land from the Shen family in the village, and in order to repay the kindness, Caixia was sent in to be a girl. The old lady did not let her sign the deed of sale, but specially gave her parents ten taels of silver and a few pieces of cloth, and the two of them came over to help with things as soon as they were free, no less than the descendants of the Shen family.
Therefore, Caixia serves the old lady the most diligently, has a good temperament, and is as careful as a hair, and is the leading figure around Mrs. Gu.
The other is named Caiyun, seventeen years old, with a rectangular face, and is very good at talking. Caiyun's surname is Gu, and the family came to marry back then, so they are also very loyal to the old lady.
Seeing Shen Kan coming, Caiyun smiled and said: "The old lady received your letter last night, knowing that the second lady was wronged, she ordered us to go over and pick up the person early in the morning, so that we were coldly looked at by the second master, how should my brother compensate?"
"What you don't say, you will be able to do what you want." Shen Kan smiled with satisfaction.
"That's good, I'll tell you when there's something missing." Caiyun also smiled with satisfaction.
Entering the house, Ru'er and the others were busy packing their luggage, and the table was full of Shen Peiwei's beloved small objects.
Next door, grandmother Gu sat on the couch holding Shen Peiwei's hand, whispering, and the second sister lowered her head and her eyes were red and swollen. Seeing this, Shen Kan didn't go in to bother, and walked to the side of the eldest lady Zhou and stood with his hands down.
Shen An's daughter-in-law was thinking about it and said: "The new clothes and silver for the New Year are given at the beginning of the month. Due to the large expenses this year, it will be a few days late. This morning, Mrs. Four said that she would send it immediately, first ask the slave family to come back and forth, and Mrs. Fourth will come after a while. ”
Gan, who had been sulking all night, had a sallow face, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and kept coughing.
Zhou frowned and said, "It's not a big deal, can't it be delayed for a few days?" How so?"
Shen An's daughter-in-law looked left and right, and replied: "Because someone was complaining behind his back and saying some unpleasant gossip, the fourth wife asked the slave family to go back and forth."
Zhou said: "This year, the harvest is good, but the grain is cheap, and the various apportionment expenses are rising, don't they know? Isn't it sympathetic at all? You go and tell the fourth lady that I have commanded, and it is okay to be late. If you find out who is chewing her tongue behind her back, it doesn't matter who she is. ”
"Yes." Shen An's daughter-in-law turned around and left.
"Ugh." Zhou said to Gan: "Since you went to Jinling, I took this as a family, only to know the difficulties in this, any money is late, they complain behind their backs. Especially in recent years, there are a lot of trivial things at home, fortunately there are four sisters to help, but she also has a lot of things, but now the money is not handy, and she lives short. ”
Gan took a sip of the ginseng tea that Caixia had just sent, his face looked better, and said, "If you want me to say that the silver in the inner house is free." Now we have a lot of clothes, and we can't even wear the clothes of big girls such as Ru'er, so it's better to pick out our old clothes every season and wear them for the big girls. ”
"That's what Madame said." Shen Peiwen echoed, "Over the years, my daughter has also seen that most of them don't use this silver to make new clothes to wear, either because they are asked by their families, or to buy some fat powder handkerchiefs and other inconsequential things." ”
Speaking of this, Shen Peiwen glanced at Shen Kan and continued: "What's more, this old rule is left over from the capital, and the silver is used to ask people to buy it, and it is often stripped of several layers, and I don't know who is cheaper."
"Uh..."
Shen Kan was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know if his previous self had also taken advantage? I had to say: "My nephew agrees to cut this item, but it is best not to give some reward money in the morning, not directly in hand, but to save for them, and when they marry or go out in the future, they will have an extra amount of money in their hands, and the family will be able to save some expenses in the future." It is true that in recent years, there are more places to spend money than before, but there is no change in the input, sooner or later it will not be able to boil out, the success of the second wife and the eldest sister can be called throttling, in addition, it has to be open source, and the nephew thinks this is a long-term solution. ”
Zhou said with a smile: "My son, your words are good, they fit our hearts, and it depends on you."
Finished! It was designed again, and Shen Kanxin said that this pot was set by himself, and this suggestion came and went and became his own suggestion.
It doesn't matter, what are you afraid of complaining? Shen Kan immediately said without hesitation: "My nephew immediately instructed the old housekeeper to spend more and more money, and for the future, he should first cut a few rules from the inner house to set an example." Nowadays, everyone wears silk, which is not like a word!"
Looking at his sensible and interesting style, even the unhappy Gan showed a smile, Shen Peiwen stood up with satisfaction, beckoned and smiled: "Look at your hair bun is not braided, it's messy, come here, I'll comb it for you."
"Okay." Shen Kan forgot Shen Jiamo's words and walked over.
"Sit here."
Shen Peiwen asked his younger brother to sit on a chair on one side, went into the inner room and took out a box, opened it and took out a toothcomb. first gave Shen Kan a bun, put it on again, and instructed Cui'er: "Go and bring the bamboo green robe, as well as the rose-red belt."
Gan Shi looked at this scene and couldn't help sighing: "My sister and brother should be like this, why should they be afraid of shadows?"
Zhou said: "Why doesn't his second master believe in his daughter? Really. ”
Here Shen Kan asked, "Sister, how do you know that I am going out to meet people today?" You have to dress modestly. ”
"The four aunts have said it." Shen Peiwen smiled, and the movements in his hands did not stop, "Repairing gardens for others is a big deal, you must not be clever, you can just give a few words of advice when you go, and accept it when you see it." Otherwise, if you damage someone's house, what compensation will you get? Don't you have to pay for it from your family?"
"I was on the spur of the moment, I listened to you."
Shen Kan nodded, he also knew that he was reckless that day, although he had experience from the afterlife, but after all, he couldn't talk too much, and he couldn't waste so much time on this, let alone a career.
If you want to live comfortably in ancient times, you have to be a scholar no matter what, and go around designing gardens for people, after a long time, won't you become a craftsman?
At this time, Shen Qi walked in, and Shen Peiwen immediately turned cold when he saw him, quickly inserted the jade hook, took the box and turned around and entered the inner room.
Shen Yu also knew that he was not treated well by them, so he stepped forward to greet him first, and came over and said, "Fifth brother, I heard that you were invited by the master of the Gu family and are going to his house today to see Feng Shui?"
"His family repaired the mansion, I just went to have fun, I can't take it seriously." Shen Kan's expression was faint.
Shen Qi smiled and said: "Then I'll help you, I've lived in Jinling for so long, what kind of Huawu haven't you seen?" Looking back, the fifth brother got benefits, and he didn't forget to reward the younger brother for a few taels. ”
Shen Kan saw that he couldn't get rid of him, so he said helplessly: "Okay."
