Chapter 190: A slap in the face
Shen Shiliu returned home, so he took someone to clean Zheng Erzhu's yard, and the one where Wen Huai lived was picked up, waiting for his uncle and aunt to come to live.
"Xiao Tie, call Xiang'er from the backyard to come to this courtyard in a while." Shen Shiliu greeted, Xiang'er is new, but looking smart, coming to take care of it should also be able to satisfy your uncle and aunt.
Xiao Tie nodded, then remembered something, and said, "Young grandma, cucumber said, that Xiang'er is too beautiful!" ”
"Huh?" Shen Pomegranate doesn't know why, what's wrong with being beautiful?
Xiao Tie saw that Shen Shimei didn't understand, and said, "Xiang'er was recruited by the young master!" ”
"Oh!" Shen Shiliu understood, and then said, "Then let Lian'er come over!" "Lian'er and Xiang'er came in together, looking ordinary.
This time, Xiao Tie didn't say anything more and went obediently.
Shen Shiliu smiled, this Xiao Tie is also a lot smarter now, and he has considered things comprehensively.
As soon as Lian'er came over, Shen Shiliu gave a few instructions, and then went back to rest first.
Du Xuanmo came back in the evening, saw Shen Shiliu thoughtfully, and came over to ask.
"What's making you so sad again?" As he spoke, Du Xuanmo put his cold hand on Shen Pomegranate's neck, making Shen Pomegranate shiver.
Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly: "It's nothing, are you hungry?" "In the past few days, Du Xuanmo came back late, basically couldn't catch up with the meal, and she asked Xiao Tie to deliver the meal in the evening, but Xiao Tie said that the person was not in the yamen, and she estimated that the person went to the palace again.
Du Xuanmo nodded, and looked at Shen Shimei to prepare to eat.
Shen Shiliu refused to say anything on his mind, Du Xuanmo guessed that it was related to Du Niangzi, and when Shen Shimei came back, he asked Shen Shimei: "But what did my mother say?" ”
Shen Shiliu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook his head: "No, don't think about it, I'm here for the Han family." ”
"The Han family? What's the matter? Du Xuanmo unexpectedly guessed wrong.
Shen Shiliu sighed, and told Du Xuanmo about Guan Rongrong.
"It's not easy for me to pass on other people's affairs, so I didn't say anything about them just now." Shen Shiliu explained.
Du Xuanmo nodded, this is indeed someone else's business, and Shen Shimei can't care about it, but what happened to Guan Rongrong is indeed embarrassing.
"Let's eat, it's not good to be so hungry and full all the time, this body is just good!" Shen Shiliu was a little worried, the emperor asked people to enter the palace when he remembered it, and every time he put it back so late, he didn't care whether these ministers ate it or not.
Du Xuanmo ate slowly, and Shen Shiliu took a piece of paper over, and circled it with some words.
"You eat first, help me take a look after eating, the things I said earlier about doing food are the range I think of according to the location of Jingwen's shops." Shen Pomegranate took the paper and studied.
Du Xuanmo smiled, hurriedly finished eating, and then went to see how Shen Pomegranate was studied.
"These black dots are appropriate, the red ones are inappropriate, and the triangles are the ones I want to expand on!" Pointing to the dots on the diagram.
On the paper is a map, with a lot of place names written, Du Xuanmo looked around, circled a few things with a pen, and said: "These can be used." After saying that, I crossed out a few more things, which means that it can't be used.
"Why is that?" When Shen Shiliu thought about it, he also picked out these after thinking about it, and Du Xuanmo felt that the shape of this drawing had changed!
Du Xuanmo pointed to the map and said: "Jiangning is a large producer, and the cost of transportation here will be lower. ”
Shen Shiliu sighed, and felt that the mouth was suddenly opened, and she thought that the prices in poor places were relatively low, but she did not take into account the relationship between supply and demand.
Du Xuanmo saw Shen Shimei's serious teaching, and praised Shen Shimei: "You have done a good job, I thought you wouldn't think about it for the time being." ”
Shen Shiliu was naturally satisfied when he was praised, and said: "The project is too big, with my head, I definitely don't think enough, think about what I can think of in advance, and the rest is up to you!" "If she can't do it, let Du Xuanmo come, Du Xuanmo will definitely do it.
After the two of them blew nonsense for a while, they washed and rested, and lay on the bed, Shen Shiliu chatted with Du Xuanmo.
"Where are you in the marriage of Lord Wenyu?" Shen Shiliu asked.
"We are screening candidates, and now we have a suitable one." Du Xuanmo said.
Shen Pomegranate saw that there were melons to eat, so he asked, "Which son?" ”
Du Xuanmo smiled and said, "You also know this person." ”
"Huh?" Shen Shiliu wondered, how did she know any son?
"Xiao Zhi!" Du Xuanmo directly announced the answer.
As soon as he heard that it was Xiao Zhi, Shen Shiliu came to his senses and asked, "Can Xiao Zhi do it?" How can people say that they are all the little marquis of the Hou Mansion, although the old prince doesn't care about things now, but he is still there, how can he watch his grandson just be an upside down door? ”
Du Xuanmo smiled: "Originally, I was also worried, but the last time I mentioned this matter to Xiao Zhi, I thought he was very happy!" ”
"Huh? Willing to be an upside-down door? Shen Shiliu was puzzled, Xiao Zhi didn't look like such a person who likes to compromise, not to mention that he was very happy?
Du Xuanmo said: "I think this matter is somewhat interesting, Xiao Zhi should have known Wen Yu a long time ago." ”
Shen Shiliu pondered, it has only been long since the emperor ascended the throne, and King Wen also lived in Kyoto City before this, and the county lord and the little marquis were in Kyoto City together, so naturally they had seen it, and they might even be childhood sweethearts.
"It may be true, but Xiao Zhidang is upside down, it still doesn't feel realistic." Shen Shiliu said.
"I will consider this matter, both families are Dumiao, with the support of King Wen, Luhou Mansion and King Wen's Mansion are Dumiao, when the time comes, I will advise the emperor to directly re-establish the mansion and give birth to two!" Du Xuanmo said.
Du Xuanmo had a plan in his heart, and the errand arranged by the emperor could be solved perfectly.
Shen Shiliu gave Du Xuanmo a thumbs up, but whether to build two mansions or not depends on the attitude of Lord Wenyu and King Wen, otherwise the emperor would not be able to directly issue this holy decree.
As the days passed, Shen Shiliu participated in more and more "women's federation gatherings", and Mrs. Tang took the lead from it, and Shen Shiliu also met many court women.
The courtier's backyard reflects to a great extent the division of each husband's gang in the court, the east gang and the west gang, and finally the Shen pomegranate gang.
Mrs. Tang was very polite to Shen Shimei, but she didn't stand in line, Shen Shiliu didn't take this situation very seriously, such a gathering was nothing more than an opportunity, she would think about breaking into the circle of noblewomen for Zhang Luo Yin Qingqing's marriage, but now that Yin Qingqing has made a marriage, she doesn't care.
"Mrs. Du's cooking skills have always been a model for my generation, you must teach us when you have time, make some local food, and I am tired of eating too many flavors in Kyoto City!" Mrs. Tang said with a smile.
"If Mrs. Tang wants to learn, I am naturally willing to teach, just some snacks." Shen Pomegranate also had to pretend to be humble and say something.
As soon as Shen Shiliu finished speaking, a lady on the right said: "If you want a cook at home, what do you want, even if the taste of Kyoto City is boring, just find some cooks from other places to cook, why should Mrs. Du fight with those subordinates?" After speaking, he smiled lightly, very disdainful.
Shen Shiliu smiled helplessly, but this smile was very inadequate, and the one who spoke was the wife of Yushitai Su Lang, Sun.
Shen Shiliu knew that the Sun family must be dissatisfied with her for her daughter's affairs, and she just had a good time, and after a few gatherings, this Sun family did not fall on the field, and always talked yin and yang and teased Shen Shimei, hindering Mrs. Tang's face, Shen Shimei endured it. It's a pity that this Mrs. Tang's husband's family is not as good as Yushitai, even if she is persuaded, she doesn't dare to say anything, but it makes this Sun family even more arrogant.
"What Mrs. Su said is reasonable, I am nothing more than some gadgets, I was born in a Zhuang family, and my behavior is vulgar, so naturally I can't compare to the Su family's high family, and I envy the Su family's tutor even more!" Shen Shimei said with a smile on his face.
Shen Shimei's words were like a wooden stick, poking directly into Sun's lung tubes, making Sun breathless for a long time.
The ladies next to them all knew that everyone knew what Su Baiyue had done before. The Sun family has always made things difficult for Shen Shimei, and now that he is being teased like this, everyone has come to see it as a joke.
Mrs. Tang looked at the situation and hurriedly made a round: "Miss Su is also married now, and the lintel of her husband's house is also high, but it makes the women in Kyoto City envious!" "Mrs. Tang is aware of Sun's temper, and if she doesn't get it right, she has to fight.
Sun saw that some people praised his daughter for marrying well, and finally calmed down, and said: "My daughter has been well-read since she was a child, and she has some little talent, and marrying into the Xue family is just a good match!" Speaking of this, his eyes turned, he looked at Shen Shiliu and said: "I can't compare to Mrs. Du, I was born in the countryside, and I can even marry a court servant, I am very blessed!" ”
Mrs. Tang rolled her eyes, feeling that this Sun family was very uninteresting, and she had already played a round, why did she have to embarrass people?
Shen Shiliu chuckled: "That's too, Miss Su is amazingly talented, and marrying that Xue Cheng is indeed wronged." ”
Sun Shi saw Shen Shiliu say this, thinking that Shen Shiliu had softened, and as soon as there was some smugness on his face, he listened to Shen Shiliu speak again.
"But I heard that Xue Cheng was still molesting women from good families on the street after marriage, and he was taken away for a long time, tsk, such a comparison, I am indeed more blessed than Miss Su!" Shen Shimei's words were light and light, but Sun's anger was about to turn his back on him!
Shen Shimei knew that Xue Cheng was not a good bird, and he had been beaten by her before, so it was really cool to take it out and slap his face at this time.
Sun was also angry, because Xue Cheng was beaten and her face was swollen because she molested the women of the Liang family, Su Baiyue was directly angry and went back to her parents' house, and now she has not returned to her mother-in-law's house. At this time, Shen Shiliu took it out and said that in front of so many noble ladies, she really lost face!
