Hearing Qin Taoxi say this, Orchid was slightly stunned, retracted her hand to touch her, and only said, "Miss, what is your idea this time?" The slave advises you, Miss, don't be too careful, you always have to fight for everything up and down, so why bother? ”

She has been with Qin Taoxi for almost four years, and she knows that she is perverse and moody, and she is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Especially after Aunt Zhao died, she became more and more intensified, and when she did things, she always had her own set of crooked reasoning, and she lived like an unreasonable madman......

Qin Taoxi sneered again and again: "What kind of tongue are you chewing, do I still need you to teach me to do things?" ”

Orchid was still very afraid of her in her heart, so she only said: "The slave maid is worried about the young lady to say this." The young lady always comes to the grandmother like this, in case she is used as a target by others...... So what to do? ”

Qin Taoxi held the porcelain cup with her well-maintained slender jade fingers, handed it to her red and moist lips, took a small sip, and said, "The women in the mansion don't fight or grab, so how can they live?" Could it be that I want to pretend to be a grandson in front of Shen Yuechen every day? Hmph, joke, she deserves it? ”

Orchid saw that she couldn't persuade her, so she didn't persuade her, and swallowed the words in her stomach back, so as not to be scolded by her again, relying on others is better than relying on yourself, with such a master who can't live in peace, in the future, she can only ask for more blessings.

The ancient people paid attention to food without saying anything, and few people spoke during the meal, and during the banquet, except for the subtle sound of the bowl and chopsticks colliding, there was hardly a trace of sound.

Shen Yuechen was unwell, looking at the delicacies on the table, he also had a mediocre appetite, and then looked up at Zhu Jintang opposite, he obviously didn't have much appetite, he only took a few bites of food, and after eating the rice in the bowl, he put down the chopsticks.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen also put down the chopsticks together, and said with some hesitation: "Uncle, you don't seem to have much appetite today?" Is it that this dish is not well done. ”

Zhu Jintang said lightly: "The food is good, but I'm full." ”

Shen Yuechen saw that he seemed to have something on his mind, so he didn't dare to ask more, and intimately helped him change into his homely clean clothes.

Zhu Jintang saw her standing obediently in front of him, carefully tidied up his clothes, and said in a slight mutter: "In a few days, I may have to go out, you prepare for me first." ”

Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned when she heard this, her eyes flashed with doubts, she looked at Zhu Jintang, hesitated slightly, and nodded and said, "The concubine knows." I just don't know, where is the uncle going on this trip? ”

You need to know the place to prepare your clothes and luggage.

Zhu Jintang said in a calm tone: "Beijing." ”

Shen Yuechen nodded, pursed her lips and smiled, and stopped asking no more.

The Zhu family has both power and backers in the capital, and Shen Yuechen had heard of it long before he left the cabinet.

To tell the truth, with the Zhu family's financial resources and connections, it is simply easy to spend some money and donate an official to be an official, but on the contrary, the ancestors of the Zhu family made it clear that the descendants of the Zhu family are not allowed to enter the court as officials for generations. The rules set by the ancestors are like golden rules for the Zhu family, and they must not be violated.

Zhu Jintang was enlightened at the age of five, and in terms of qualifications, he was no worse than the noble sons of those noble families, but he had never obtained any fame. When others were still reciting "Zhihu Ye" in the school, he had already begun to follow his father around, learning how to make money, how to recognize people and things, and how to make decisions on the spot.

Shen Yuechen knew that he was a person who had seen the world, so he never made an axe in front of him, and always took retreat as advance in everything, preferring to ask three questions and not know, asking less and seeing more, rather than being quick to speak for a while, saying things wrong and making him suspicious.

Texas is not close to the capital, it is not far away, it is not troublesome to prepare things, but it is necessary to have everything, or it takes a little thought.

Shen Yuechen had just finished eating, and began to secretly calculate that he would prepare a few sets of clothes and a few pairs of shoes for Zhu Jintang......

It's just that when he left, she was still a little uneasy in her heart. When he left, there were only a few women left in the courtyard who were facing each other day and night, and there would inevitably be some twists and turns.

There were a lot of leftover dishes from dinner, and Wu's mother picked two plates that had not been touched and sent them to Cao's and Sister Ying. And those dishes that have been touched with chopsticks will all belong to those subordinates.

Everyone huddled together in the small kitchen to eat, laugh and laugh, as if they were celebrating the New Year, but they didn't dare to make too much noise or drink.

After the meal was full, except for the maid who kept vigil, everyone else slept beautifully, leaving Chunfang to sit alone in the house.

The rooms where the little maids live are all big kangs, and Chunfang is the youngest, so she sleeps on the outside. She smeared the kang head and raised her hand to light the candle again, she was afraid of the dark, and the problem she had since she was a child has not been able to get better.

Chunfang guarded a small candle head, sat at the table and sighed silently. Yingchun on the kang heard the movement, got up and looked at it, saw her sighing alone, hurriedly got out of bed, leaned over, and asked in a low voice: "Chunfang, why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Chunfang shook her head and didn't speak.

Yingchun is one year older than her, and she also looks like a little sister, and she is concerned: "Did you just eat too much, and you can't digest the food in your stomach?" ”

Chunfang still shook her head, not squeaking, like a gourd with a sawed mouth.

Yingchun saw that she was depressed and didn't speak, so she suddenly remembered something, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "You must be homesick, right?" ”

She poked Chunfang's heart with a word, Chunfang immediately reddened her eyes, nodded, and whispered: "Sister Yingchun, I want my father and mother to redeem myself for me, I want to go home." ”

When Yingchun heard this, he sighed lightly: "Silly girl, since your parents are willing to sell you, how can they come to ransom you?" ”

Chunfang was a little anxious, "Then I'll save my own money to redeem myself...... Okay? ”

Yingchun shook his head: "You are even more of a fool's dream." Not to mention, we only have five cents of silver a month, even if you save enough silver in the future, what can you do if your grandmother doesn't let people go? It's not like you have to stay honest. ”

Chunfang wanted to speak and stopped, but she didn't dare to say what was on her mind.

Yingchun was also childish because she was a child, and hurriedly coaxed her: "Don't think nonsense, in case you catch a cold, it will delay things even more, hurry up and go to sleep, tomorrow, I will ask for a small bowl of lard for you to eat." ”

Chunfang lay down obediently, but when she remembered Zhu An's ill intentions towards her during the day, she panicked.

If it weren't for his father and mother who accepted him ten taels of silver to buy land, he wouldn't have to be so obedient and obedient to steal any Rausch account books, and he would have to do it......

The more Chunfang thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she only put the quilt on her head and cried quietly for most of the night, so that when she woke up the next morning, her eyes were red and swollen.
