Chapter 114: Hiding in Zhuangzi
"Miss, you're busy like a spinning top every day, and you're tired carefully."
Xiangling muttered while changing Shen Junru's clothes with her hands and feet, and did not forget to make eye contact with Cai Wei, who was also clever, and even followed the persuasion.
"Yes, Miss, you didn't rest well last night, why bother to bow down, besides, Zhuangzi can't run there, so it's okay for us to go later."
These two little girls sang and harmonized, which made Shen Junru cry and laugh a little.
"Come on, your mouth is like honey, go and prepare, it's going to be spicy later, by the way, go and see Ah Yu, he has been bored for a few days, if it's okay, let him go with him."
"Well, the slave maid is going to run."
The air on the farm is good, and the crops and vegetables planted in the field are also good, and the recovery of the body can also be better.
The thing that hurt Lin Liangyuan was really as Shen Junru expected, the saint only wanted to turn the big things into small things, and the small things turned into small things to calm people.
But Shen Lin's two families were not on good terms, and after such a fuss, the attitude of the two families was completely broken.
In this regard, Shen Junru does not feel sorry, but for Lin Liangsheng, there is always a little unspeakable sense of guilt and bitterness.
The graceful flute sound, after all, has accompanied her for several years.
If one day, Shen will be able to destroy the Lin family, she will definitely find a way to protect Lin Liangsheng's life, and she will be in charge... repaid his kindness.
After a while, the group cleared the car and walked to Zhuangzi in the countryside.
There were three carriages before and after, one for Shen Junru and Shen Shisi, and one carriage for the maids and sisters-in-law, the most one was Shen Yu.
He really went to play in the Zhuangzi.
Soon, the carriage entered the Zhuangzi, this Zhuangzi is quite big, when the mother and the father got married, the grandfather and uncle specially bought it for the mother to dowry, the area occupied before and after is about 20 acres, including 10 acres of fertile land, and the others also built houses, circled the orchard, planted some seasonal fruits, and raised some poultry, most of which were not sold, but supplied to the Shen Mansion, yes, the grain and vegetables of the Shen Mansion in these years have hardly been purchased outside.
But in this way, it will also create a not very good situation, that is, over time, this Zhuangzi will no longer be a private person, but will likely become owned by the Shen Mansion, and now, it is almost the same.
The slaves on the Zhuangzi have been waiting for a long time, Shen Junru remembers that if it is not bad, Mama Tong's children and grandchildren are all in the Zhuangzi, and the mother sent a few henchmen to the Zhuangzi before she died, which proves that this Zhuangzi is her trust, and now, how can something go wrong.
"Miss, it's here."
"Slaves and maids greet the eldest lady."
Lifting the curtain of the car, Shen Junru glanced at the people who greeted him, most of them were mothers-in-law and strong men, and some farmers who had contracted farmland cultivation also came, after all, it was really difficult for the owner to come, and they also wanted to take this opportunity to talk about the reduction of taxes.
Every year, sixty percent is handed over to the owner, and they only have forty percent left, sell some of it, and keep some of it for themselves, which is only enough to make ends meet.
But the steward had already warned them not to talk nonsense, otherwise they would not be able to eat and walk around!
But the steward said that after the harvest this fall, the tax will have to be increased by another 10%, which is simply forcing them to live!
The housekeeper's grandmother and Mr. Zhuangzi's bookkeeper hurriedly greeted them, wanting to reach out to help Shen Junru, but they saw Shen Junru frowning, glanced at the grandmother with low eyebrows, and called out with a little hesitation.
"Nurse?"
No wonder she couldn't find her in the house, it turned out that she hid in Zhuangzi.
Mama Zhang had a smile on her face, and cheekily responded, "Alas, eldest lady, it is the old slave." ”
As he spoke, he took a step forward and wanted to help Shen Junru's arm, but was quietly brushed away by Shen Junru.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, I came back from Jiangnan, and I looked for my grandmother, but my grandmother seemed to have disappeared in the house, saying that she was going to visit her children and grandchildren, but she didn't return for a long time, what happened?"
"Tell the eldest lady to worry, this matter is a long story, and the old slave will talk to the young lady slowly later."
Look at the decent and obedient appearance, there is no pampered and arrogant and domineering appearance at all, in front of her, Mama Zhang will always pretend to be so good.
If it weren't for the fact that she had been betrayed by her in her previous life, she wouldn't have believed that such a Mama Zhang would have wanted to burn her to death!
Hiding her eyes with resentment, she raised her lips slightly, brought a light smile, and said.
"Then later, Mama will talk to me in detail."
Between the words, Shen Shisi, Shen Yu and others got out of the carriage.
Shen Yu also dragged someone here, how could it not be Mr. Zhao Runzhi.
Zhao Runzhi's face was shy and he bowed his hand.
"Disturbed Miss Shen."
Just now she got into the carriage earlier, but she didn't see Shen Yu get on the carriage with her own eyes, so naturally she didn't see Zhao Runzhi coming with her.
"Where, it's Ah Yu who bothered Mr."
Seeing that Shen Junru was about to blame herself again, Shen Yu hurriedly smiled.
"It's sunny today, it's the most suitable for travel, it's not bad to be stuffy all the time, come out and take a look, what do you think if you can't keep it, and you can make a better article, sister, are you right?"
"You... It's a reason to be reluctant. ”
Mama Zhang was a little surprised, when did the relationship between the two sisters and brothers become so good?
In the past, she didn't blower in front of Shen Junru, saying that the lady and the old man were partial to the male heir, and they loved the eldest young master even more, and she had been provoking like this a lot, Shen Junru naturally didn't like Shen Yu anymore, and the relationship between the sister and brother has always been discordant.
This time, she originally returned from visiting relatives and wanted to go back to Shen Mansion, but she received instructions from Aunt Yun not to return to Shen Mansion for the time being, firstly, because she was worried that the eldest lady would thoroughly investigate the cause of her wife's death and set herself on fire, and secondly, Aunt Yun said that there were more important things to do here.
"The old slave has seen the eldest young master, and the third young lady, who is this gentleman...?"
"You can call him Mr. Zhao."
Shen Junru glanced at the crowd around, those peasant houses were all stopped by the housekeepers in charge of Zhuangzi, they couldn't get close, they didn't dare to shout, and no one dared to be the first bird.
"It's a hot day, young ladies and sons, let's go in with the old slave quickly, everything is ready inside."
Mama Zhang said and led the way.
Shen Junru frowned, when did Mama Zhang become the steward here?
What about the former housekeeper?
She whispered a few words to Mama Tong, and Mama Tong answered and left quietly.
Her children and grandchildren are also Zhuangzi people, so they naturally know more about Zhuangzi's affairs.
Shen Junru and his party were led into the hall, where tea had already been prepared, as well as some crops and fruits collected from the field, as well as some eggs, duck eggs and other things in baskets.
Mama Zhang introduced with a smile.
"These are all grown in our own fields, young ladies and young masters, try them."
