Chapter 56: Suspicion
Cheng squeezed his handkerchief tightly and sighed softly, "I just thought that you were young and didn't want you to spend a lot of time on boring things...... If you have a heart, I will not stop you. But after all, you are young, and you can't cope with many things, so let's do it, I'll give you two of the old people in my yard, and if there's anything you're not sure about, you can ask them, and you can take care of them. ”
"No need." Shen Mengzhi didn't even think about it, even if it was a feigned consideration, he refused directly.
said, "Mama Li is a person next to her grandmother, and she has seen all the winds and waves, not to mention these little things, there will definitely be no problem in dealing with them." I also thought about it carefully, and my grandmother sent her grandmother to me with her pain, so she naturally had a reason...... Mother doesn't have to worry too much, there is a grandmother who does it herself, Jingnu assists from the side, and I am watching it personally, there is nothing going on in this Shen Mansion. Mother is not in good health, the people in the yard are left to take care of it, the house just bought some maids, I look good, and I plan to pick two for my mother to send over. ”
Cheng's wanted to arrange someone for Shen Mengzhi, but he was arranged by Shen Mengzhi.
Shen Mengzhi not only showed his filial piety, but also moved Old Madam Shen out again.
Mama Li is Mrs. Shen's right-hand man, and Mrs. Shen even gave Shen Mengzhi such an important person, does she need too many words about the meaning?
Although the Bogong Mansion and the Shen Mansion are separated, both families are surnamed Shen, and that is also an inseparable relationship, and the old lady is in command, who dares not to obey the old lady's words.
Shen Mengzhi is also a little too clever, and he can be counted as a drip.
Cheng's heart was panicked, and he must be unhappy, but he can't be convinced.
People in the capital know that she is not in good health, and she is recuperating in Bodhi Temple all the year round, Shen Mengzhi speaks in the name of filial piety, and she really can't find any explanation.
Not to mention that Jade was in Shen Mengzhi's hands, all the "incriminating evidence" was in Shen Mengzhi's hands.
Shen Mengzhi knew that if she took action to solve Cuiyu, where would she find such a slave who knew the roots......
Cheng's heart is cost-effective.
Jade was even more frightened.
Thinking that Shen Mengzhi was determined to get her out, he even found someone to replace her, raised his hands, opened his bow left and right, and hit his mouth without mercy at all.
Even if the blood flowed, he didn't stop.
slurred words, "The slave knows that she is wrong, and the slave and the maid don't dare anymore, so I beg the girl for forgiveness and give the slave a chance to make amends!" ”
Slap after slap, everyone watching felt panicked.
The mouth was full of blood, and it hurt to look at it.
Shen Mengzhi couldn't take his eyes off it, standing straight and standing in place, just silent.
When Cuiyu's mouth was about to be broken, Cheng finally gave a sentence, "If you really want to learn to take care of the back house, let it be." ”
"Thank you, mother, for making it happen." Shen Mengzhi smiled at Cheng's blessing, coughed, and said to Mama Li, "Mama, what are you doing in a daze, don't you help Cuiyu up quickly." ”
Cuiyu got up, stood behind Cheng with low eyebrows, and became a frosted fruit, completely stunned.
Shen Mengzhi felt embarrassed at this time, touched his nose and said to Cheng, "It's because my daughter doesn't understand the rules." Cuiyu is no longer a mother's person, how to beat and punish, that is all my mother's business, I take care of my maid, and I categorically did not teach my mother the reason for the maid. ”
Shen Mengzhi mentioned this, and Cheng understood.
When it comes out like this, in addition to seizing power, in addition to killing chickens and monkeys, it is still to avenge Jingnu.
She slapped Jingnu's two ear scrapers before, and Shen Mengzhi didn't dare to return it to her face, so she picked out the jade she trusted the most, and asked Mama Li to shave the jade ear scraper, which was tantamount to slapping her face.
She slapped Jingnu twice, and Mama Li slapped Jade four times. Double the return, it really gives enough face to Jingnu!
What is the value of Jade holding her mouth by herself, calculating interest?
Starting from Yulanju, seeing that she bought it, Shen Mengzhi kicked his nose in the face, continued, and paid it back?
Cheng slammed the cup on the table, pinched the handkerchief and pressed it on the edge of the stone table, and slowly stood up.
"Shen Mengzhi, you also have to pay attention to proportion! It's nothing to be a joke in Shangjing, after all, it's come to this, but if you are careful, don't become a joke in the entire Ming Kingdom! There is one thing you also remember for me, the Shen family has never had such a shameful thing, if you don't know how to restrain again, I would rather strangle you to death than let you corrupt the Shen family's style! ”
Cheng is often angry, likes to show joy and sorrow on his face, and has never been polite to her. But for many years, it is the first time that he has said such serious things in such a serious tone.
Shen Mengzhi responded in the same tone and carefully observed Cheng's expression.
It's really angry.
And he was very angry.
It's also weird.
According to Cheng's uncertain temperament, he can hit Jingnu's ear scraper and beat Jingnu like that, why not hit her ear scraper?
didn't do anything to her, which means that she hasn't been angry to the extreme.
If you're not so angry, why act so angry.
Looking at Cheng's eyes when she looked at her, she really believed that Cheng would strangle her.
At this moment, Cheng is like a mother who is worried about her daughter, but that worry does not seem to come from her heart.
Her mother, if she is either wronged, or she has a secret in her heart, it will not be too simple to think about......
"Let's go."
Cheng led Jade to leave.
Shen Mengzhi hurriedly called out to his mother and said, "Mother used to pay three taels of silver a month, but now I am in charge, and it has risen to ten taels." At the beginning of each month, I would have someone send it to my mother, and if my mother needed to buy anything or spend money, she would say hello to me. ”
On the surface, he took care of Cheng's and increased Cheng's monthly money, but it restricted Cheng's right to go to the account room to withdraw money.
Cheng was not confused, he understood Shen Mengzhi's arrangement as soon as he heard it, and it was rare that he didn't get angry with Shen Mengzhi, and left in a huff.
Cuiyu followed closely, took a step to notice that something was wrong, turned around, and respectfully saluted Shen Mengzhi, and then hurriedly followed Cheng's pace.
Shen Mengzhi looked at Mama Li, who was still staring at the backs of the two who left, and asked, "Does your hand hurt?" ”
Mama Li retracted her gaze and shook her head, "Rong Lao Nu told the truth, teaching people like this, my heart is really comfortable." The girl took the jade to open the knife, and the people in the house would take it as a warning. Just pity the old slave, I'm afraid I'm going to get an iron slap notoriety from now on! ”
Shen Mengzhi smiled, beckoned Mama Li to sit down, and arranged, "I was busy with other things a few days ago, and I haven't had time to pay attention to the cumbersomeness in the house, Mama, you can take the time to find out all the account books in the house in recent years and give it to me, I want to take a look." Also, there are several shops in your mother's dowry, and you can ask someone to inquire about them. ”
Cheng's merchant background, in the dowry, gold and silver treasures, the annual income of those shops alone is not a few.
Oddly enough, she never seemed to hear anyone mention these things for many years.
