Chapter 18: She's Poor!

Shen Qiange thought of picking up his chauffeur and guards, they were all old people beside his grandmother, but they were all dressed in old clothes, and then thought of what she heard sporadically from the housekeeper in her previous life, since her grandmother moved to Ningshoutang with her aunt, Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen did not give her grandmother a penny, and all the expenses of Ningshoutang were also borne by her grandmother, and there was not a copper plate in the public school.

The Shen family was not wealthy when Mrs. Shen was young, although Mrs. Shen was an official, but he was an honest official with clean sleeves, at that time, the Mrs. Shen family was still there, and Mrs. Shen was named Mrs. Shen.

The old lady is from the Sun family of the Shuzhong clan, the ancestral industry in the family is prosperous, and she is a descendant, and when she gets married, she can be described as ten miles of red makeup.

After the old lady took charge of the house, the entire Shen family lived a truly decent life.

At that time, the old lady didn't think much about it, her in-laws were kind and her husband was respectful, so the old lady was dedicated to the Shen family, and invested most of her dowry in the Shen family's public, which became the property of the public middle school.

Not long after the old lady gave birth to her eldest aunt, the Sun family in Shuzhong overturned, the man was assigned, and the woman was used as an official slave.

Later, when the eldest aunt had an accident and went home, the old lady took her to live in Ningshoutang, and there was not much property left in her hands, so it was no wonder that she was poor.

Liangchen saw that the second lady seemed to be thinking about something, so he sat silently and did not make a sound.

Although the carriage was old, the coachman who drove it had excellent skills, and soon, they arrived at the Shen Mansion, and Shen Qiange didn't feel much shaking in such an easily bumpy carriage.

Thanks to the old coachman, Shen Qiange returned to the side courtyard of Ningshoutang.

Mama Ge came out, holding a bright horse in her hand.

"The second lady came back early today, so come into the house to warm up and drink a bowl of sweet soup. ”

Shen Qiange sat on the rose chair in the flower hall, holding the sweet soup stuffed by Mama Ge in both hands, taking a sip, she looked at the charcoal basin burning silver charcoal next to the rose chair, and asked in a low voice: "Mama, where did we get the silver charcoal in our yard?"

Mama Ge smiled, and stroked Shen Qiange's soft bun lovingly, "The old lady asked her to send it, and there is still a basket of such charcoal in the kitchen, which is enough for the second lady to use until the weather warms up." and this sweet soup and the ingredients in the hands of the old slave, all of which were sent by the old lady. ”

After Mama Ge finished speaking, she rubbed the material in her hand, the second lady of the two had never worn such good material since she was a child.

In the past, there were good materials in the house and the eldest lady was the first to follow, and the lady always said that the second lady was her own child, and it was nothing to treat her slowly, the eldest lady was different, and if she didn't dress well, she would be said that the mother of the Shen Mansion treated her adopted daughter harshly.

Mama Ge was fooled by Madame's words at first, but after a long time, she also saw that Madame was just eccentric and loved the eldest lady more.

Pity them, the second young lady is the real blood of the Shen family.

Now that the second lady has moved to the side courtyard of Ningshoutang, the old lady can help, and she loves the second miss so much, Mama Ge is grateful, with the support of the elders, Mama Ge feels that her young lady has lived a really good life.

This moving over could be a really good thing for Miss.

Shen Qiange's eyes fell on Mama Ge's hand, it was an orange cloud satin material, mixed with a little silver silk thread, which flashed in the sun, it was indeed a rare good fabric, made of a skirt, and it must be very beautiful when worn in the spring.

However, in the past two years, the production of Jiangnan cloud satin has been reduced, and a horse can be sold at a sky-high price, and the Shen family does not have such financial resources to waste on clothing, even if it is Shen Jiaojiao, there is none.

Grandmother will have this satin, which should be a beloved collection for many years.

Grandmother is looking for something to make up for herself somewhere else!

As the real bloodline of the Shen family, she did not enjoy the treatment that the daughter of the Shen family deserved, although her grandmother lived in a remote area, she saw everything in her eyes.

Because of the dislike with Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen, when Shen Qiange lived in Guiyanju, her grandmother was not good at interfering in some things, but now she moved over, and when she arrived at her grandmother's territory, her grandmother took her under her wings lovingly.

It's like when she was abandoned by the Shen Mansion in her last life.

Shen Qiange suddenly cheered up, it seems that she is not alone, she still has her grandmother and aunt.

I drank the sweet soup handed by Mama Ge in one go, how many years have passed, it still tastes the same, it hasn't changed at all, this is the sweet soup cooked by my aunt Shen Qing herself.

In her previous life, she looked down on a woman like her aunt who was abandoned, and like others, she thought that her aunt was an ominous person, and she always looked at her aunt with disdain in her eyes, just like that, her aunt still smiled and boiled sweet soup for her to help her recuperate her dilapidated body.

At the end of her life, she was not as alive as her aunt.

At least my aunt still had a grandmother who loved her, but in the end she didn't get anything, and she died of a desolate and lonely serious illness.

Shen Qiange asked Mama Ge, "Mama, did you send something from the main courtyard today?"

Mama Ge was stunned by the question, and after a while, Mama Ge said: "As soon as the second lady left in the morning, the old lady asked Mama Bai to send a lot of ingredients over, which is enough for our yard to eat for two or three days." ”

Shen Qiange quickly sensed what Mama Ge wanted to hide in her words, "Mama, don't hide it, just say what you have, you know I'm not asking you this." ”

Mama Ge sighed, she waved her hand and took out the little maid standing next to her, leaving only Shen Qiange and her two in the flower hall.

She took Shen Qiange's hand and said slowly: "Second Miss, early this morning, the old slave sent someone to the big housekeeper to get some daily necessities, but was sent back by the big housekeeper, and even the big kitchen didn't give anything, I'm afraid that the old lady has an opinion on the young lady moving to Ningshoutang, second miss, otherwise you will be soft on the old lady, how to say, you are also their own daughter, the old lady should not treat you badly." ”

In the end, Mama Ge was not sure of her judgment.

Shen Qiange listened to Mama Ge's words, but her eyes became more determined, "Mama, in the past few years, you have seen what your father and mother have done, do you really think that if I move back, this situation can be changed?"

The main house did not give her a single provision, this is the punishment of Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen for her rebellion, they do not like her as their own daughter, but they want to control her, they do not stand in the position of parents, but in the position of benefactor.

They waited for her to come to them and beg for mercy!

No loving parent would do this to their own children.

Mama Ge was speechless when asked by Shen Qiange.

Unexpectedly, the second young lady was already more clear than she could see.

Mama Ge smiled bitterly, "But Miss, you are only fifteen this year, if you don't have the support of your parents, how can you live." ”

"What's this, isn't the child of the poor family alive? Mama, don't worry, I won't let you live a hard life. Besides, she's not alone, she has a grandmother and an aunt.

She is not the stupid Miss Shen in her previous life.

Seeing that the second miss was full of firmness and calmness, Mama Ge calmed down all of a sudden, and suddenly felt that it was not necessarily a bad thing for the second miss to marry King Yan.

She wiped her tears, "No matter what, the old slave is with the second lady." ”

Shen Qiange laughed, "Mama, we can't rely on anyone now, we can only rely on ourselves! You go and help me calculate, how many silver taels we have left, and count the jewelry that can be sold." ”

Mama Ge answered, got up and went to the inner room to count.

Within half an hour, Mama Ge came out to report, "Second Miss, there are five silver tickets, all of which are denominations of ten taels, and there are five taels of broken silver, as well as consistent copper plates, and jewelry can be sold for about one hundred taels of silver, and the old slave has an old gold hairpin, which can also be sold for ten taels." ”

All the silver and jewelry that can be sold add up, it is just over one hundred and sixty taels, this is what she has saved in the past five years since she returned to the Shen family, she is really poor!
