Chapter 5: Lack of money
When Shen Jinqiao was young, her uncle instilled in her an idea that money is not everything, but if there is enough money, many difficult things will become much easier.
Although Huo Changfeng's original intention at that time was to make his means of using money to deceive other girls' beauties a little more high-sounding, this truth was universal, Shen Jinqiao was not very old at that time, and he was still in the enlightenment stage, he was instilled with such a thought by Huo Changfeng, and he always remembered it deeply, and then he developed the habit of saving money.
It's just that the way she saves money is more peculiar...... Well, there is nothing wrong with pit other people's money and save your own money.
Wei Sheng's assassination, not only Wei Sheng was angry, even Emperor Xia was furious, after all, there were people at the feet of the Son of Heaven who committed murder against the prime minister, and the prime minister was still ordered to inspect, this is the face of Emperor Xia, it must be strictly investigated, once caught, severely punished.
Shen Jinqiao was already secretive, everything that should be cleaned was cleaned, and even the last bit of danger was blocked by Rong Junzhi for her, and she was stunned that the wind and rain did not float to her at all.
After making sure that there was no problem, Shen Jinqiao went to the ancestral hall to worship his mother, and then came back to continue embroidering and making hairpins, after all, ...... Lack of money.
Shen Jinqiao hadn't felt so poor for a long time, imagine that he still has to deal with Prime Minister Wei, and next time he doesn't know how much silver he will have to spend, so he almost didn't cry when he was poor.
There are two shops in her mother's dowry shop that sell these gold and silver noodles, and when she is ready, she takes them there to buy them, and the ones she made before have always been very popular because of their exquisite skills.
Shen Jinqiao looked at the piles of finished products on the table, and sighed, she is definitely the most diligent lady who makes money, there is no one.
Just when Shen Jinqiao was making money like a hard-working little bee, the old lady also came back.
Mrs. Hu sent a letter to invite the old lady, but the old lady came back quickly, and left almost the next day after receiving the letter.
The old lady also wants to come back, she has not been able to move things from the Hou Mansion in the past two years, her son and daughter-in-law complain in front of her every day, and she still loses her face after a long time, and she is not having a good time this day.
But Shen Ye never invited her, she couldn't get off the stage, she couldn't pull her face back, and now Mrs. Hu invited her on the grounds that Shen Anyang and a few girls in the family wanted to be married and needed someone to preside over the overall situation, and gave her a high-sounding step, so she came back with a pretended shelf.
Madame Hu informed everyone the night before, and she was going to greet the old lady the next morning.
The people in the house reacted mediocrely, and there were probably only three people in this mansion who really wanted the old lady to come back, Mrs. Hu's mother and son, because the old lady loved them the most, and the others, which one had not suffered from the old lady?
The old lady is not there, Mrs. Hu is restrained by Mrs. Liu, and their concubines can still take a breath, the old lady is back, Mrs. Hu has someone to support and show off her might, not to mention, the old lady's virtue alone can make them unbearable.
If they could, they wished that the old lady would never come back in the fief for the rest of her life.
I don't know the taste of a meal, and I guess I can't sleep well in one night.
However, no matter how reluctant they were, they still had to get up early the next morning to meet the old lady.
Mrs. Hu led a group of people to wait at the gate of the house, and began to wait at the door in the morning until noon.
The crowd had all stood on stakes, and only then did they hear that the old lady's carriage had just entered the city.
Mrs. Hu couldn't feel the resentment of these people, but she did it on purpose, taking advantage of the old lady to stand up for her own breeze, lest they think that they could climb on her head if they got a little favor from the Hou Ye.
Mrs. Hu glanced around and suddenly found that someone was missing: "What about Shen Jinqiao?" "Didn't they come out together before?
The maid beside Shen Jinxi immediately complained: "Madam, the third lady said before that she was going back to change her clothes, but she didn't come back until now. ”
The person who wanted to learn the most slipped away, and Mrs. Hu was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth: "This cheap ......" hoof.
Suddenly realized that there were a lot of people here, so he couldn't stop his mouth, and changed his words: "Jin Qiao dares to be lazy about such a major matter as welcoming the old lady back to the house, there is really no filial piety at all, and when the old lady comes back, I have to discipline her well." ”
"Who does Madame Hu want to discipline?" Shen Jinqiao's lazy voice came from the side, supported by the maid Yuzhu, and walked slowly and gently, and his posture can be said to be arrogant.
Mrs. Hu looked at her who was even more arrogant than her, and she was very angry: "Who is rude to discipline whom, you ran to be lazy for so long to come out, is it possible to let the old lady wait for you?" ”
"Didn't this old lady not come, what is the lady in a hurry?" Shen Jinqiao was tepid, as if he didn't see Mrs. Hu's anger, and walked slowly to the side and stood up, and then the old lady's carriage came.
Mrs. Hu saw that the carriage was coming from afar, so she didn't chase Shen Jinqiao, anyway, she was not in a hurry, and when the old lady came back, Shen Jinqiao suffered.
Three carriages and more than a dozen guards soon came to the front of the mansion.
Mrs. Hu smiled brightly with a face, greeted her like a dog's leg, personally helped the old lady down, and said something close to the old lady's ear.
Mrs. Hu is sixty-two years old this year, her body is quite tough, and her spirit is not bad, but she is definitely not a cute and amiable old lady, she is slightly thin, with a thin face, hanging eyelids, closed lips, and a cold and mean face, which is not easy to get along with at first glance.
Mrs. Hu helped the old lady over, and a group of people hurriedly saluted.
"Welcome the old lady (grandmother) home."
Obviously, the old lady liked this kind of face, but it was not obvious on the face, there was no kindness at all, and there was not even a response at all.
However, when he walked in and passed by Shen Jinqiao, he snorted heavily, and everyone could hear the strong dissatisfaction.
Behind the old lady there was a young man and a woman, the man in his early twenties, the woman was probably as old as Shen Jinqiao.
The old lady stood on the top of the steps and said: "This is your cousin Hu Huaili and Hu Huaiyu, they came to the Hou Mansion as guests, you are so entertaining, you must not be lazy, otherwise I will not spare you." ”
How does this tone sound like an order to the subordinates, is it possible that they should arch these two people like ancestors?
After Hu Huaili got out of the carriage, he looked at Shen Jinqiao directly, although he was dressed like a Sven, but the lust in his eyes was obvious, the corners of his eyes were obviously blue, his body was thin, and his steps were vain.
But Hu Huaili didn't feel how he was, but put on a suave posture, pretending to be humble and stepped forward and arched his hand: "Cousin, cousin, this box is polite." ”
His eyes are frivolous, his behavior is contrived, and his voice has an uncomfortable smell.
