Chapter 355: Private Property
The disputes in Jingzhao here are not felt by Yingnantu and Shenning in Shao County, Lingnan. They are going on one of the most laid-back lives of their lives.
In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since they came to Shao County. Lingnan in March, especially in Shaoxian, is the best time for spring. Although there is no peach and willow green in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a lively scene of flowers in full bloom, which makes people feel comfortable when they look at it, and there is a vigorous and upward force.
After Ying Nantu and Shen Ning came to Shaoxian, they did not live in Shen Zegao's house, but found a suitable courtyard next to the county government of Shaoxian County and settled down.
This place was prepared by Shen Zegao earlier, and it was originally intended to be used to greet Jingzhao's visitors, which was just convenient for Ying Nantu and Shen Ning.
"This place is really nice. It is close to the county office. If you want to visit the third aunt, you just need to walk to the side, and you don't even need to post it, which is very convenient. Shen Ning said with a smile while helping Ying Nantu arrange his clothes.
Shen Zegao is the county magistrate of Shao County, and his family members, of course, live in the backyard of the county government, and it is next to this small courtyard that Shen Ning will say this.
"If you have free time, you can walk around more with the third aunt, Chen Cheng and I have been busy recently, but I can't accompany you all the time." After listening to Shen Ning's words, Ying Nantu responded, with intimacy between his tones.
They have been married for a while. During this period of time, the two people are more familiar with each other, their living habits are gradually converging, and the fit between the two is gradually deepening. The sentence is very suitable for husband and wife life.
After marriage, Shen Ning has also changed a lot, and it is different from the time when he was in the boudoir. Because it was a national funeral, she was wearing plain clothes, but she looked even more moist between her eyebrows, presumably because the water in Lingnan was not bad. In addition, Xia Qi's cooking skills are getting better and better, and the food is nourishing, and Shen Ning's whole person is plumper than before.
"You're here to take care of private property?" Hearing Ying Nantu say this, Shen Ning knew in his heart.
"Well, there's been something to do lately." Ying Nantu did not say much about this. Just like the tacit understanding they had before, on the issue of private property, Ying Nantu would not say much, and Shen Ning would not ask more.
The husband and wife talked about some side things again. After a while, Ying Nantu left with Chen Cheng. After Ying Nantu left. Shen Ning can calm down. Thinking about what will happen after coming to Lingnan Road.
Ever since I came to Lingnan Road. Ying Nantu began to get busy. Every day, there is also a lot of time outside, which makes Shen Ning a little curious. Ying Nantu used to be a noble son and had no official position. Second, I don't have long skills, why did I come here on Lingnan Road and start to get busy?
In the past, Ying Nantu didn't have much time in Jingzhao, and every time he traveled, it seemed that there was nothing else to do. Not doing production, but having usable wealth, this is the norm of Jing Zhaoxun's noble children, and it can even be said to be the norm of gentleness. In the past, Shen Ning didn't think there was anything, only now. When I came to Lingnan Road, I realized that something was wrong.
Now that the Marquis of Qingping Mansion has been cut down, the court no longer supports these noble children, and every application in the mansion is self-sufficient. I don't see any money and silver that Ying Nantu has spent from the mansion, and in the past, in the Qingping Marquis Mansion, this is reasonable. Shen Ning was a bride at the time, and she didn't take over the position of housekeeper, so she didn't pay attention to this matter.
But after coming to Lingnan Road, Shen Ning began to take care of housekeeping. Housekeeper, for Shen Ning, it is not a difficult thing, especially this family is too simple, there are only two masters, she and Ying Nantu, in fact, it is almost the same as when they were in Qingzhuju.
Shen Ning presided over the past palace feeding, and he was in charge of the harem for three years, such a small family, there is no need to take care of it at all. Even so, she still found that she had overlooked many things in the past.
Housekeeping and hosting are actually a matter of how to use people and money.
The manpower around Shen Ning is not complicated, here in the inner courtyard, there are four people, Spring Poem, Qiu Ge, Xia Qi, and Qiu Shu, and the one who does things in the outer courtyard is Qiu Wu. Of course, there are some rough mothers-in-law and maids, Qiu Wu's subordinates, and there are also some small stewards, in general, they are all very simple.
What she ignores is the use of money. To take care of this courtyard, you need money. The daily expenses of the kitchen and other places, and the monthly salary of the maids and servants, the cost is not small. Here, unlike the Shen family, there are Shen Zeyuan, Shen Yushou and other clansmen who specialize in general affairs and business.
When he first came to Lingnan Road, Shen Ning originally planned to take out some of the money from the dowry silver for use.
But he didn't expect Ying Nantu to laugh out loud after hearing her plan, and then said: "I have private property, don't you know this?" Otherwise, only relying on the support of the imperial court, how can the children of Xun and Gui survive? Where did you use all your dexterity in the past? Xungui's children all have private property, and everyone in Jingzhao knows about this matter. ”
Shen Ning was a little embarrassed when she heard this, she really didn't care about these things in the past. Thinking about her past self, she was all focused on the family, and she really didn't pay much attention to these details.
"In the past, I never heard you mention any private property. Isn't your private property in Jingzhao? After Hao Ran, Shen Ning thought of this real question.
"My private property...... It's not all in Jingzhao, it's everywhere. Lingnan Road is also available here. Now that I've come here, I naturally have to take care of it. Ying Nantu's voice was still smiling, as if he still felt that Shen Ning wanted to spend the dowry, which was a very funny thing.
The smile in Ying Nantu's tone, Shen Ning naturally heard it. In addition to her chagrin, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is your private property?" ”
She had never heard Ying Nantu mention private property, so naturally she didn't know anything about his private property. Presumably, to be able to maintain Ying Nantu's travels around, his private property should be quite rich
? Shen Ning realized at this time that after marrying Ying Nantu, her food and clothing were basically the same as when she was in the Shen family.
The Shen family has people like Shen Deshan and Shen Zeyuan who accumulate wealth and live a rich life, which is well-founded; Could it be that there are such people under Ying Nantu? And what is his private property?
“…… It's just some shops, and there's not much to say about it. I've been a bit busier lately, just to take care of these private possessions, and I'll take you to see it when it's convenient in the future. Ying Nantu first paused, and then said. As for what his private property was, it was not explicitly stated.
What a keen person Shen Ning is, although Ying Nantu's expression is the same as plain, but his eyes are quite difficult, obviously, he doesn't want to say more about this question, or rather, can't say more?
"Your private property, can't you say?" Shen Ning frowned and asked. She and Ying Nantu are already husband and wife, and his private property is not a secret matter, what can't be said?
I didn't expect it, I really can't say it. At this moment, Ying Nantu was not only embarrassed, but also extremely hesitant, as if he was thinking about how to answer Shen Ning's question.
It's not that I can't say it, but nowadays, it's inconvenient to say more. Later, I'll take you to see it, and you'll know. Hearing Shen Ning's question, Ying Nantu shook his head, and then said with a smile.
When he said this, he already knew what to do in his heart, and there was less hesitation on his face.
Shen Ning was a little surprised, such a thing had really never happened since she and Ying Nantu met. In Shen Ning's impression, as long as it is something she asks, Ying Nantu will always be truthful, and even some things she has never asked, Ying Nantu will take the initiative to tell her.
All along, she can feel Ying Nantu's heart for her, this kind of heart is based on honesty and trust, which is embodied in the fact that Shen Ning basically knows what is happening around Ying Nantu, because Ying Nantu will tell her these things. Now, his private property is unspeakable?
Shen Ning was stunned for a while, she didn't know what to say, she had a sour feeling in her heart, it seemed to be a grievance, and it seemed to be something else, she couldn't say it. I just felt that there seemed to be tears in my eyes.
"I'll take you there later. It's not a secretive thing, just for a while. Seeing Shen Ning's appearance, Ying Nantu hugged her in his arms and repeated the words just now.
Leaning on Ying Nantu's arms, Shen Ning's tears dissipated, and then, she laughed softly, feeling that she had tears in her eyes for such a trivial matter, which was really different from her previous self. It must be because I came to Lingnan Road because I was too idle, but I was thinking about some miscellaneous things.
Since Ying Nantu said that he would take her to see it sometime, then it will definitely be the case. As long as it takes a while, you will be able to know, so why bother at this time?
What's more, although the two of them are husband and wife, although they trust each other enough, there is no need to spread everything out in front of each other.
Yourself, isn't that so? Those things she experienced in her previous life, about the past of the Shen family and Shangguan Changzhi, about her seemingly unpredictable prophetic ability, didn't Ying Nantu never ask her half a sentence? It's not that you don't care, it's not that you don't trust, but you know, and when the other party wants to say it, you will know, and you don't need to ask.
"I'm in the picture," Shen Ning said self-deprecatingly....... If he still has something that he can't correspond to what Nantu said, how can he be asked to say what he is embarrassed about?
Since this discussion, Shen Ning has not bothered to inquire about Nantu's private property. And Ying Nantu, as he himself said, began to get busy, and he went out every once in a while, and Shen Ning had more leisure time.
This is Shen Ning's recollection after coming to Lingnan Dao, about Ying Nantu's private property, although she is curious, she no longer asks.
At this time, Ying Nantu had already gone out, and Shen Ning had nothing to do.
"The things that my grandfather arranged were not yet there, and I had a moment of leisure. Why don't you go to the third aunt and talk about it. Shen Ning thought so, and told Chun Shi to put on her makeup, and she also wanted to meet the third aunt and her cousins.
This rare leisure time, she should cherish it.
ps:
Two more! Transition, written plainly, I beg your pardon......
