The place in the garden is very large, the rockery is surrounded by trees and flowers, and the trail behind it is extremely hidden, unless you deliberately want to find this place, no one will want to go into such a cool and damp place.

Wu's mother said before that if she is okay, she will leave a "An" character here, and if she encounters any trouble, she will write a "one" character on the wall.

After Xiao Tao entered the Zhu family, she only saw Mother Wu once, but she clearly remembered every word and word she said. She knew that she was lucky to be able to escape from the hands of those black-hearted people, without having to sleep in the open, without being abused, and not being sold to those dirty places where life is worse than death. She knew very well in her heart that she could be saved because of the blessings of nobles, so she had to repay her kindness, and she had to repay her kindness.

She has food and clothing here, a tile to cover her head, a bed to sleep in, no need to starve, no need to be beaten, as long as she pleases the second young master, the world can be peaceful...... So, what is she not satisfied with?

Xiao Tao walked back slowly, her mood was a little complicated, she followed the Chai family these days, and she also learned some things about the Zhu family, although she was not careful enough, but it was enough for her to learn to act cautiously.

Everything seemed to be going well, just as she expected when she first entered the door, she was going to be on an errand by Zhu Jinlun's side, and there was no doubt that it wouldn't be long before she would have a round with the second young master. Maybe it's today, maybe it's tomorrow......

Thinking of this, her face suddenly turned crimson, and she hurriedly trotted all the way back to her house, not wanting to be found out that her face was flushed.

……

It's time to distribute the monthly list every month.

It has been a whole month since Shen Yuechen returned to the Zhu family, and when she was not there before, the trivial matters in the courtyard were all handed over to the Cao family for the time being. She is the eldest aunt, the oldest and the highest, and she is undoubtedly the best choice to replace Shen Yuechen.

When Cao's management of the yard, he really fished a lot of oil and water. Over the years, she has rarely had such an opportunity to be a master in a majestic manner.

In the past half a year, she has been greedy for a lot of silver, and the total amount of zero and zero adds up to nearly two hundred taels.

However, Shen Yuechen has now returned, and she is the only one who can make decisions about the affairs inside and outside the courtyard, and no one else can be allowed to interfere.

After Shen Yuechen came back, the share of everyone in the courtyard remained as usual, neither increasing nor decreasing. Moreover, she also checked the two ledgers in the hospital. It's just that I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

It's only been a few months, but the ledger they handed in is a mess, with miscalculations on almost every page, and many of them are incoherently written, and the prices are inconsistent.

Shen Yuechen looked at it patiently, and her brows couldn't help frowning slightly, the account book was messed up like this, there must be a lot of loopholes to exploit. It is estimated that Cao's waist bag must have bulged a lot during this time......

Shen Yuechen closed the account book, thought about it a little, and secretly made a decision.

This month's share, Shen Yuechen did not hand it over to his subordinates to distribute, but asked everyone in the courtyard to come to him to collect it in person.

After everyone received the monthly order, Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, and said lightly: "It's been nearly a month since I came back. I haven't been able to spare time before, so I'll take a good look at you. Therefore, I will take the opportunity of the monthly ceremony today to gather everyone together and say a few words. ”

All the people in the courtyard gathered neatly inside and outside the main house, the aunts and maids and maids stood quietly in the house, while the rough maids and mothers-in-law stood under the porch, respectfully pricking up their ears, listening carefully to every word she said.

Shen Yuechen's gaze hurriedly swept over everyone, and then continued: "You all know that it was really not easy for me to come back here from the capital before. However, since I have returned, then everyone must continue to follow my rules and do a good job. Also, I am in charge of my own body, and I don't have to worry about anyone, as long as you take care of all the things in this courtyard for me, make the accounts clear, and spend the money in a real way, and do not be lazy or wasteful, it is the greatest respect for my master. However, if anyone has to know what to do, do things uncleanly, and be disrespectful in words and deeds, there is only one result, and that is family law disposal! ”

Shen Yuechen said these words quite politely, but he was also a little sharp.

After hearing this, Cao couldn't help but glance up at her slightly, but saw that her gaze happened to fall on him, his heart moved slightly, and he continued to silently lower his eyes.

Shen Yuechen knew very well in her heart that after she came back, everyone was secretly talking about her behind her back, how long could she stay in the Zhu family, and how long? It's just that the result was unexpected, Shen Yuechen did not leave as gloomy as everyone expected, but on the contrary, he was a little more severe than before......

Shen Yuechen didn't make a long speech, but just concisely stated his attitude.

Cao had been secretly speculating about her thoughts, not knowing what she would do to herself.

She was already greedy for silver, and she was not ready to spit it out again. Even if Shen Yuechen really saw something, she would grit her teeth and hold on, and she would never admit her mistake easily.

However, Shen Yuechen didn't blame her in any way, just a few words of advice, all about Zhu Ying's food, clothing, daily life, and account books, but he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Cao's heart that had been hanging before was slightly relieved, only to feel that Shen Yuechen must have deliberately let her go.

Thinking about it carefully, she is now in the Zhu family, although she is still a legitimate young grandmother, but it is not the same as in the past.

Cao used to scold her everywhere, but now, she didn't want to be so thoughtful. She knew that she didn't have the guts, she was like the Qin family, and she didn't cut herself off like the Sun family. All she wants is a little more favor, a little more silver, a little more benefits.

Cao doesn't like to fight, she likes to calculate, what can be calculated, why do you have to grab it?

Seeing that Shen Yuechen let Cao go with a calm face, Mother Wu stepped forward and said, "Aunt Cao has been neglecting Miss a lot recently, why didn't Miss take the opportunity to knock her?" ”

Shen Yuechen said quietly: "She is not convinced of me in her heart, I beat her this time, but it is just arching fire in her heart." It's useless to say more, if you want people to be convinced, you have to come up with some results. ”

When Mother Wu heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Does Miss have any plans again?" ”

Shen Yuechen nodded: "Well, I just feel bored in this square yard every day, it's really boring." So, I want to learn to do business. ”

Trade? Wu's mother was slightly stunned, and Chun Ming and Cuixin also stepped forward, looking very curious.

"Miss, what kind of business do you want to do? Is it possible that you still sell calligraphy and paintings like before? ”

Shen Yuechen shook his head: "Although calligraphy and painting are elegant, it is too difficult to make a difference, and besides, I don't know those literati and ink writers who like vassal elegance, and it is not easy to make a name for yourself." I wanted to make something new, something that no one else had done before, and I already had an idea in my mind. In two days, let's go out of the house and look around, let me think about it more. ”

When she was a child, she used to write letters for people in the market at the bottom of the mountain to earn money. A penny, a letter, a whole day of hard work, is only a dozen or so yuan. When she was older, she began to write and paint, and then, she asked people to bring it to the town to sell it for money, and little by little she accumulated fame.

Shen Yuechen, Shen Danqing...... Although they are all one person, they have different identities.

Shen Yuechen is very self-aware, she is not a celebrity, what she has to do now is not to sing the wind and sing the moon, but to make achievements as soon as possible, so that the Zhu family will be impressed by her and see her advantages and talents, instead of staring closely at her shortcomings and shortcomings.

She wants to change, the attitude of the Zhu family towards her, and she also wants people to be convinced of her, and do a good job as the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zhu family.

……

Today coincides with an auspicious day, with a number of new stores opening in the city.

Zhu Jintang and Zhu Jinlun respectively represented the Zhu family, and they went out to socialize, and they both returned home after dark.

Zhu Jinlun ate two banquets in a row, and drank a lot of wine, although he was not drunk, he was already half drunk.

He was helped into the house by Zhu Fu and sat on the soft couch all the way.

Zhu Fu personally leaned down and changed his shoes and socks for him, and as soon as he started, he saw that Xiao Tao had already walked in with a basin of water.

Zhu Fu was stunned at first, then hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, little peach girl, you are here." Come on, come on, wait for the second young master to freshen up, the second young master has drunk a lot of wine tonight......"

Zhu Jinlun sat on the couch with one hand on his forehead, and after listening to Zhu Fu's words, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look, only to see that Xiao Tao was really standing in front of him, and said with a shy expression: "The slave maid asks the second young master for peace...... Second master, why did you drink so much wine? ”

When Zhu Jinlun heard this, he slowly stood up and said, "I'm not drunk, don't listen to Zhu Fu's kid." Although he said so, his body was already slightly unstable, Xiao Tao saw it, and hurriedly walked over and pulled him to the chair to sit down, and took a warm towel to wipe his face, wipe his hands, and said softly: "Second master, don't move first, the slave will prepare a sobering soup for you, and the clothes on your body have to be changed, they all smell of wine......

She was whispering softly, but Zhu Jinlun grabbed her little hand and asked, "Why are you here?" Mother asked you to come over? ”

When Xiao Tao heard this, she lowered her eyes slightly, and didn't dare to look at him and said, "After the second lady called the slave and maid to the front and told her, saying that she would let the slave and maid serve the second young master well. ”

Zhu Jinlun smiled lightly: "I see, okay, then you can change my clothes first." ”

When Xiao Tao saw that he finished speaking, he was about to untie his clothes, and said busily: "Second master, don't be busy, the window will still be open, and it is most likely to catch a cold, so you should freshen up first and then change your clothes." ”

Zhu Fu was beside him, waiting for the two of them to hold hands and talk, he hurriedly snickered, lowered his head with interest, turned around and waved his hand to signal the maids behind him to withdraw, and he himself retreated lightly, and closed the door by the way.
