Chapter 46: Visiting the Shen Family
"Ahh
Before she left, she asked Huang Xianling to hand over the things to that Qincha, thinking that they had already been delivered to him.
Since the lessons of her previous life, she doesn't want to owe others "kindness" anymore, as long as it can be solved with external objects, she will naturally not be stingy, but no matter what kindness, she can no longer repay it with true feelings.
Since the mastermind of the case of using the girl's pill is Su Jiwen, I am afraid that he has no fear, and with this handle, it should be a good help for those who investigate the case.
Of course, Su Jiwen's inaction was poisoned by her back then.
At the beginning, Su Jiwen often went to Su Ningxue's troubles, which made her sympathize with Su Ningxue, and at the same time, in order to teach him a lesson, she secretly poisoned him. Later, Ying Caiwei inadvertently discovered that Su Jiwen and Sun Wu's wife seemed to have an intersection, and after careful investigation, she found out that Sun Wu's third son was actually Su Jiwen's son.
Sun Wu is an official of Rong Liang's party, at that time she didn't understand that Su Jiwen would have a connection with the Sun family, but now that she thinks about it, they are all chess pieces in Rong Liang's hands, so they will naturally intersect.
Only she was kept in the dark.
She closed her eyes and took a nap, but her mind was full of scenes of Ying's family being slaughtered, her grandfather's instructions before he died, his father's despair when he died, her brother's unwillingness, and Xu'er......
She opened her eyes suddenly, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Miss. Ziyu poured Ji Yanning a cup of tea, and said distressedly, "Miss has a nightmare again?"
Ji Yanning didn't speak, took the cup and drank the tea, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
After walking for five days, Ji Yanning and the others finally arrived in Cangzhou.
Because Cangzhou has a branch of Baochangji, Ji Yanning took people to live in the courtyard arranged by the steward.
Ji Yanning asked the steward to hand over the post to the Shen Mansion and visit him tomorrow.
After she freshened up, she asked the steward to send the account books of the Cangzhou shop, met the steward in the side hall, and skimmed the account books.
The steward sat on the chair next to him and said, "Listening to the Ji guard, what happened on the way when the eldest lady came, it was really thrilling, and when the eldest lady returned, the old slave would add some guards for the eldest lady, so it would be safer." β
Ji Yanning said: "No need, there is nothing to do when you come, and you don't need to worry too much when you return." The income of the shops under your jurisdiction is good, do you know the new rules of rewards and punishments issued by Bao Chang Ji?"
The steward bowed: "A few days ago, the big housekeeper Wu Geng sent someone to send a specific charter, and the old slave was saved." β
Ji Yanning put down the account book in his hand and said: "In the past six months, the income of the shops under your jurisdiction ranks fourth among the same states and counties, although the articles of association are calculated, the top five have rewards, but the rewards of the top three are more generous than the fourth and fifth, the gap between you and Qizhou is not big, and if you work harder, you will definitely be able to do better than them." β
The steward clasped his hands together and said, "What the eldest lady said is that the old slave must do his best." β
"I'm here in Cangzhou, I think you also know that this is the meaning of the Shen family, but I am in Jiangzhou all the year round, and I don't know about the affairs of the Shen family, and the steward is also half a local here, do you know how this Shen family is?" Ji Yanning asked quietly.
The steward said with a smile: "Miss has this marriage, which is a blessing from God, not to mention that the Shen family is a scholar, just say that the eldest lady's fiancΓ©, Shen Qingyi, the third son of Shen, is an excellent scholar, and he is a proud disciple of Mr. Jingyuan. Although Shen Sangongzi's father died early, his uncle was a minister of Sanpin in the court, which was even more helpful in his future career. β
Ji Yanning didn't dare to be interested in her fiancΓ©, but asked, "Then what is the temperament of the eldest lady of the Shen family's housekeeper now?"
"There are naturally ways to take care of the Shen family over the years, but the eldest lady doesn't need to worry, the Shen family is a famous family, and Mrs. Shen is naturally not that rude. The steward said.
Ji Yanning bowed his head and pondered for a while.
If it weren't for the idea of quitting her family, why did their Shen family let her come to Cangzhou at this time?
She's not stupid, and if that's the case, then she'll fulfill them.
On the morning of the second day, Ji Yanning appeared on time in front of the gate of the Shen Mansion according to the time written in the post.
The housekeeper of the Shen Mansion stepped forward, and saw that Ji Yanning was wearing plain clothes, dressed plainly, but it was difficult to hide her temperament, and he stepped forward to salute her.
"Miss Ji. The housekeeper of the Shen Mansion said, "My wife still has something to deal with now, please Miss Ji to the side hall and wait for a while." β
Ji Yanning bowed his head: "There is labor." β
The housekeeper took Ji Yanning to the side hall, and after serving tea, he retreated, leaving only two maids waiting on the side.
After waiting for an hour and not seeing anyone, Ziyu on Ji Yanning's side was a little breathless.
"Miss. Ziyu called Ji Yanning lightly.
This is too bullying, it is said that the eldest lady is busy, and the eldest lady can't be left here as if nothing happened.
"If Mrs. Shen is not available, then the little woman will come back another day. Ji Yanning said lightly to the two maids, and stood up as she spoke, "I am annoying the two of you to help me leave a word, so I said that I will leave first." β
The two maids looked at each other and hurriedly said, "Miss Ji, don't worry, let's go and urge again." β
Ji Yanning said: "No need, you have already urged twice, it seems that Mrs. Shen is really busy, so I won't bother." It's just that I heard that the Shen family in Cangzhou is a famous family, and the rules are really different from ordinary people, even if I handed over the post to make an appointment, Mrs. Shen still couldn't spare time, and she didn't let people reply to the post to make another appointment, it is really the style of the Shi family, it seems that the little woman is lonely and unheard, and it is the first time I have seen it today. β
With that, he walked out.
The two maids' faces were slightly shocked, and the lady said that she wanted her to wait for some time and sharpen her patience, but she didn't say let her go!
What's more, Ji Yanning's attitude, if she really let her out of the Shen Mansion, I am afraid that their Shen family will have a reputation for having no rules.
"Miss Ji, wait a little longer, our eldest lady will be here soon. The maid said.
Ji Yanning said: "You have said this several times, anyway, now that I am in Cangzhou, it is convenient to wait for Mrs. Shen to really have time to say goodbye." β
She walked out without looking back.
The maid stomped her feet anxiously and hurriedly went to report to the eldest lady.
Mrs. Shen was chatting leisurely with her two daughters in the inner courtyard.
Thinking about this time, that Miss Ji was already impatient. Miss Shen San, Shen Yanlan said with a smile, "A businessman's daughter still wants to be my sister-in-law, she really thinks of herself." β
Mrs. Shen said: "Your grandfather made a marriage contract back then, I really don't know what he wanted. β
If it's just a wealthy businessman, it's just that this Baochang Ji has average financial resources, and now that Ji Yanning's parents are dead, I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep Baochang Ji, otherwise even Mrs. Ji will not give up on her.
His son is so good, how can he be dragged down by such a woman!
"Madam!" The maid who was originally looking at Ji Yanning hurriedly stepped forward to salute Mrs. Shen.
Shen Yanlan said: "Is she already impatient to wait? Then it's almost time for us to go out to meet her now." β
The maid said, "Miss Ji said that since Madame is busy, she will visit another day, and then leave." β
Mrs. Shen and her two daughters were slightly stunned, but they didn't expect Ji Yanning to leave like this without seeing anyone.
Shen Yanlan asked, "Didn't she say anything else?"
The maid lowered her head: "Miss Ji said that the Shen family is worthy of being a scholar, and even the rules are different, she can't see anyone when she hands over the post, and she won't reply to another appointment if she has something, it's the first time she has seen her." She also said that anyway, she is now in Cangzhou, and it is easy to meet. β
Mrs. Shen's face sank.
Ji Yanning's words were slapping their Shen Mansion in the face.
She was displeased: "Why didn't you stop people?"
The maid sneered: "Miss Ji insists on leaving, and the slave and maid don't listen to ......."
Shen Wu's Miss Shen Yanfang said: "Sure enough, she was born as a businessman, and she doesn't even understand the rules!"
Mrs. Shen's face was even more ugly: "I'm afraid that if I talk about this matter again, others will only think that our Shen family is the one who has no rules." β
Shen Yanlan said: "Hmph, who will believe her words!"
"That's it, send the apology gift over, and this matter will be settled, and I will talk about it next time she comes. Mrs. Shen rubbed her forehead, but she didn't expect that Ji Yanning was still such an uneasy character.
But the more she is like this, the more she can't let her marry Yi'er.
She was waiting for Ji Yanning to come to the door again, and when the time came, she would let Ji Yanning know that the door of their Shen family was not so easy to enter.
It's just that he waited for four days, and Ji Yanning still didn't make any moves, and he never asked anyone to hand over the post, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
"Miss, aren't we going to the Shen family?" asked Ying'er, who was shopping behind Ji Yanning, "We've been in Cangzhou for several days, and we haven't met anyone from the Shen family yet." β
Ziyu said on the side: "When we came to the door that day, they asked the eldest lady to wait and wait, obviously they didn't take our young lady seriously, so let them wait first, otherwise we thought that the young lady was easy to bully!"
Ying'er said worriedly: "But in this case, will the people of the Shen family have a bad impression of Miss? How can I say that it is also Miss's future husband's family, and Miss will marry in the future, if there is a dislike now, what can I do in the future?"
Ziyu was said by her, and pouted: "Then you can't be wronged, Miss." β
Ji Yanning listened to their conversation and just smiled slightly.
She said: "There is a restaurant in front, go over and eat something before continuing to shop." β
They walked towards the restaurant, then asked for a private room and ordered some food and drink.
In the compartment not far from them, a few men saw Ji Yanning's figure passing by the door, and couldn't help but take a few more looks, just a side face, it was already so beautiful and refined, people couldn't help but get a glimpse of the whole picture.
The man in the blue brocade robe who was facing away from the door was stunned when he looked at a few people on the table, and couldn't help but look back, but found nothing.
