Chapter 10: Woe

"Don't talk about Mrs. Liu, I have no way to live without the Hou Mansion, so it's better to go with Mrs. Liu to save trouble."

"No, at this age, where else can I go to find an errand."

"We have the strength, but we don't have the ......."

The subordinates complained, and took advantage of Mrs. Liu's death to shout out the resentment in their hearts.

Originally, they were doing a good job in the Hou Mansion, but suddenly a Mrs. Lao Shizijin was in charge, not only reducing the expenses in the mansion, but also sending them out of the Hou Mansion, which I don't know what to do.

Although Shen Changze is a brave and warlike general, he is helpless to deal with the affairs of the back house, he looked at Shen's mother, Shen's mother don't overdo it.

He understood that only Jiang Shu could solve this matter at the moment.

"Ma'am." Shen Changze looked at Jiang Shu for help.

Jiang Shu pursed his lips and looked at the group of subordinates, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you really want to leave the Hou Mansion?"

"Please, Madame, make decisions for us." Everyone knelt down and kowtowed, pinning their only hope on Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu was difficult to ride a tiger, and his eyebrows were frowned.

If they are left, it will not only slap Cheng Jinchu's face, but also make the Hou Mansion unable to make ends meet. But if he is forcibly dismissed, Mrs. Liu's body will be in front of him.

The dismissal cannot be and cannot be retained, which is really a headache.

After thinking seriously for a moment, Jiang Shu suddenly had an idea.

She walked in front of Shen Changze and Cheng Jinchu in a few steps, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou told me before that he wanted to open a winery, and he needed manpower for winemaking and miscellaneous sales, so why not be transferred from the mansion and paid according to his work?"

Hearing this, Shen Changze's eyes lit up: "This method is very good." ”

He didn't ask Cheng Jinchu if he agreed, because there was no other choice at the moment.

After discussing, Jiang Shu squeezed his hands and said to the people who were full of expectation: "Lord Hou is kind, Mrs. Jin is kind-hearted, in order to let everyone have a place to go and have an errand to support their families, they decided to open a winery." Anyone who can make wine, understand wine, or do business can invite themselves to work in the winery and be paid according to their work. ”

"When we went to the winery, are we still from the Hou Mansion?" Concerns were raised.

There is a big difference between the guys in the wine shop and the people of the Hou Mansion.

Ordinary workers only get paid, and birth, old age, sickness and death have nothing to do with the master's family. And although the people of the Hou Mansion are subject to the Hou Mansion, they can also be protected by the Hou Mansion.

The back of the big tree is good for the shade, and no one wants to lose the backer of the Hou Mansion.

"Since he is a member of the Hou Mansion, like the people in the Mansion, he is under the control of Mrs. Jin." Jiang Shu reminded them who the master was, and at the same time, he also picked himself up.

Since she handed over the power of the family to Cheng Jinchu, she didn't want to interfere anymore, and if it wasn't for Shen Changze's plea tonight, she wouldn't care.

"Mrs. Xie, Master Xie, Mrs. Xie Jin." The people were half happy and half worried.

I am happy to be able to stay in the Hou Mansion, but I am worried that I have to make a living under Cheng Jinchu.

solved the problem of everyone going to stay, Jiang Shu ordered someone to bury Mrs. Liu, and all the expenses were paid by her.

"Mrs. Xie." Befriended Mrs. Zhang with Mrs. Liu, and thanked her with red eyes.

"It's still Shu'er who will take care of the house." Mother Shen patted Jiang Shu's hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.

After this incident, she relied on Jiang Shu more, and felt in her heart that the Hou Mansion could not do without Jiang Shu.

"It's all taught by my mother and grandmother over the years." Jiang Shu is humble and polite, and does not take credit.

Mother Shen was very satisfied with what she heard, and took Jiang Shu's hand and gossiped while walking.

Cheng Jinchu, who was walking behind, looked at Jiang Shu's back, and felt as uncomfortable as cooking oil on fire.

From the beginning to the end, Jiang Shu didn't say anything wrong with her, but everyone's attitude already showed everything, which was enough to make her embarrassed.

Tonight's events made her understand that she couldn't grasp the hearts of the people in the Hou Mansion, and neither could she grasp the hearts of Shen's mother, and the only thing she could grasp was Shen Changze.

"Husband." Cheng Jinchu turned his head and threw himself into Shen Changze's arms, sobbing lowly.

Shen Changze held her in his arms and comforted her, but his eyes followed Jiang Shu away. It wasn't until Jiang Shu's figure disappeared into the night and could no longer be seen that he reluctantly took it back.

"Husband, am I useless? You can't do a little thing. Cheng Jinchu blamed himself and sobbed, crying heartbroken.

Shen Changze patiently comforted him warmly: "I don't blame you, you have never dealt with the affairs of the inner house, and if you ask your mother and Jiang Shu more in the future, you will not make any mistakes." ”

Cheng Jinchu didn't speak, only sobbed vigorously, grabbing Shen Changze's shirt and not letting go.

Shen Changze couldn't, so he had to carry her back to Lanyun Courtyard.

When such a thing happened, he lost his thoughts, and simply stayed in Lanyun Courtyard to coax Cheng Jinchu.

As for Jiang Shu, I'll thank her another day.

Thinking like this, Shen Changze hugged Cheng Jinchu and fell asleep with peace of mind.

"Madam, it's so late, I'm afraid Master Hou won't come." Yu put on a new candle and reminded Jiang Shu not to wait.

Jiang Shu looked up at the crescent moon that was almost mid-heaven, and asked Tan Yu to close the window.

"Master Hou is really too much, and he didn't even thank him after begging his wife for help."

"If I knew this, Mrs. shouldn't have cared, let them mess with Mrs. Jin."

Tan Yu muttered angrily.

Luo Yu glared at her with disgust: "If you can't speak, shut up, don't you think Mrs. is not troublesome enough." ”

"I'm a distressed lady." Tan Yu pouted aggrievedly, and tears of anger fell.

Seeing her like this, Yu Yu didn't want to scold her anymore, after all, what she said was right.

Jiang Shu, who was originally a little depressed, was seen away by Tanyu making such a fuss.

"Okay, don't be angry, the days to come will be long." Jiang Shu handed over a handkerchief and asked Tanyu to wipe her tears.

Tan Yu took it and pouted: "Madame is just too soft-hearted and too good." ”

Jiang Shu shook his head and said carefully: "Not to mention that human life is a matter of heaven, that is, as long as we are in the Hou Mansion, we will be both prosperous and lossy." If I look on coldly, something will really go wrong, and it will be bad for my reputation. ”

"Furthermore, if this causes resentment and evil intentions among people with impure minds, the unforeseen calamities will be sown more than worth the losses."

The barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and would rather offend the gentleman than the villain.

"Madame has her own considerations in doing things, now I understand." Yu poked Tanyu's elm head to make her worry less.

"Don't poke me in the head, I'll be stupid." Tanyu hummed unconvinced.

"With your brain, what could be more stupid?"

"Who do you say are stupid, you are stupid......"

Seeing the two arguing, Jiang Shu suddenly felt that with them by his side, it didn't seem to matter so much whether Shen Changze came or not.

The next day, Jiang Shu asked Yu Yu to send a bag of silver to the steward as the funeral expenses of Mrs. Liu.

After Yu came back, he told Jiang Shu: "Hou Ye has taken Mrs. Jin and Miss Young Master out of the house. ”

Jiang Shu was checking the account books of the dowry shop, and when he heard this, his hand on the abacus paused, and said in a light tone: "It should be to find a wine shop." ”

With so many people in the house having to feed, Cheng Jinchu must be very anxious.

Although she has not touched a penny of the Hou Mansion over the years, she knows exactly how much silver is in the treasury.

She wants to see how capable Cheng Jinchu is.
