Chapter 10 Money
When Mrs. Shen entered the house, she said, "She is shallow-eyed, you don't have to take it to heart." ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing, "I'm too worried, you don't even care about those ugly words outside, how can she take these words seriously?" ”
Shen Mengzhi just laughed.
She didn't know that Old Madam Shen was a laugher, she had been laughing since she entered the door, and she didn't know what happy things she had encountered.
Old Madam Shen took Shen Mengzhi's hand and put it in the palm of her hand and asked, "Come and get something?" ”
Shen Mengzhi nodded, but his attention was attracted by Old Madam Shen's hand.
Old Madam Shen's hand looked old, but when it fell on her palm, it was smooth and tender, not at all like the skin of an elderly person.
Just as she was about to feel it carefully and confirm whether it was wrong, Old Madam Shen had already taken her hand back and shouted, "Mama, take out the things." ”
Out of the back room came a woman of about fifty, with dark skin and a long body, with a respectful expression and no smile.
It is Mama Li, who serves Mrs. Shen, who has been with Mrs. Shen for more than 30 years, never leaving an inch, and acting the most safely.
Mama Li was holding a vermilion agarwood box in her hand, and a lotus was carved on the box, and the lotus flower was carved vividly, but the corners were a little blurred, because of the age.
When the box was opened, it was filled with gold ornaments, hairpins, bracelets, earrings, etc., all carved with the pattern of the lotus, and the workmanship was fine and chic, as if it had been made by a person.
Old Madam Shen sat on the chair and said, "These are all things I used when I was young, and I didn't like them for a long time, and I left them there for a few years and became useless." Fortunately, you can sell it to solve your urgent needs. ”
Shen Mengzhi looked at the box full of jewelry and pursed his lips.
To be honest, she didn't understand Old Madam Shen's intentions, why did she treat her so well?
In the past few years, Old Madam Shen didn't treat her badly, but she was never good, she was cold, and she could see that she didn't like her.
Since today, the smiling face is right, close everywhere, and he does not hesitate to take out precious things as a foil.
Such a big contrast, she can't afford not to care.
Moreover, those eyes are so sharp that they seem to be able to see through everything in the world. What he did also clearly had a purpose.
What did her grandmother know?
Or, what do you want from her?
Old Madam Shen saw Shen Mengzhi's consideration, and also knew that Shen Mengzhi was waiting for her explanation.
pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly, "The scenery of the Yiguo Mansion is infinite, and what is stepping on the soles of my uncle's mansion is the corpse!" Poor Bo Gong Mansion is full of rats, forgetting what the Righteous Mansion has done, forgetting the shame suffered by the Prince's Mansion, not only don't want to take revenge, but also think about clinging to the Righteous Mansion! ”
Shen Mengzhi knows a little about this matter.
At the beginning, the dreamer was attached to the Shen family, eager to try, and wanted to make a difference, when the foreign invaders came to attack, and the Shen Mengjia family decided to be married, the Shen family intended to help the dreamer, and when the grandfather led the troops to the battle, he took Menghenan's grandfather and father with him.
He is martial arts and wants to be famous and fortune, and the best way is to go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
It's just that no one expected that the battle would be so tragic, more than half of the 20,000 leading soldiers were lost, his grandfather was pierced through his heart with ten thousand arrows, and he died on the spot, Menghenan's grandfather broke two arms, and Menghenan's father was also scarred.
For Shen Meng's two families, they are both heartbroken and sad.
However, the Mengjia presented a twist, saying that the battle situation was all due to his grandfather's improper command, and said that if it were not for the Mengjia father and son to turn the tide and resist desperately, the 20,000 elite soldiers would have been wiped out, and there would be no armor left.
However, the saint who has always trusted the Shen family believed in it, and in one fell swoop gave the door plaque of the Yiguo Mansion of the Mengjia family, a house, and a good land, but he decreed that his grandfather's funeral should not be done in a big way.
The meaning of this is needless to say, and everyone knows it.
Since then, the Mengjia has been on the rise, and the Shen family has plummeted.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the dreamer is stepping on the Shen family.
It was also from that time that my grandmother didn't like to dress up, and she rarely even stepped out of the house.
Grandmother and grandfather were respectful and affectionate, and she knew it.
"I don't know, what does grandmother want?"
There is no reward in the world that can be obtained without paying, this truth, Shen Mengzhi has understood since he was a child.
It's just that Menghenan's grandfather came back to Beijing and died that month, and Menghenan's father survived for a few years, and he didn't have the life to enjoy the glory and wealth.
All the people who presented the folds back then are gone, and who else is worthy of such a grandmother's trouble?
Is it possible?
Is it She?
Sure enough, Old Madam Shen spoke, "I want She's life!" In the past, it was indispensable for the She family to add fuel to the fire, and when it came to these little tricks, the She family was a good hand! If she's wrong, she'll have to pay! ”
Shen Mengzhi looked at Old Madam Shen.
If Old Madam Shen wanted She's life, with Old Madam Shen's wisdom and means, She didn't know how many times she had died, so why wait until today?
"Joke!" Old Madam Shen was so excited that she slapped the table hard, "If I make a move, I will carry it if I lose, but if I win, they will enjoy it, why should I do such a thing?" ”
Mrs. Shen is the stepfamily, has no children, only one daughter, and she also drowned at the age of seven, and now the people of the Shen family are not the blood and blood of Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Shen's words are understandable.
Old Madam Shen said, "I'm halfway into the ground, so there's nothing to worry about." Money and wealth are not brought to life and death are not taken away, and I think it is worth it in exchange for a bad breath. I can see that you hate She, leave no room for it, She's death in your hands, it will be a matter of time, I will give you the money, my heart is comfortable, it is better than leaving it to those rats, thinking about it! I can't help you except for money, you don't have to ask me, you don't have to beg me. You took my stuff, don't let me down! ”
After Mrs. Shen said this, she lay down on the soft couch and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Looking at that, I didn't plan to speak anymore.
Mama Li made a gesture of invitation to Shen Mengzhi and motioned to go out.
Shen Mengzhi bowed back to Old Madam Shen, and then went out with Mama Li.
She thought that Mama Li was just sending her out, but Mama Li said, "The old lady let the old slave stay by the girl's side, and from today on, the old slave is the girl's person." ”
Shen Mengzhi was taken aback.
Mama Li is the most powerful person around her grandmother, and she has been together day and night for so many years, how can you say it to her?
Mama Li said, "If the girl can be trusted, even if she is sent, the old slave will do her best to use the girl." Of course, there must be no shortage of clever people under the girl's hands, if she feels that the old slave is useless, give the old slave a hundred and ten taels of silver as the passage back to the hometown. ”
Shen Mengzhi naturally wouldn't let Mama Li go.
Like today, Jingnu is not there, there is no one around her to be available, and even if there is something, no one will take care of it.
It is the time to employ people, how could she not want Mama Li.
Besides, Mama Li is a person by her grandmother's side, and she has been by her grandmother's side for so many years, there must be a road that is not known to others, and it will definitely be useful to keep Mama Li.
At least, for now, keeping Mama Li will be beneficial and harmless.
