Chapter 33: Greed
Silence is the best answer.
Jiang Shu's heart was cold, and the corners of his lips drew a sarcastic arc.
When Shen Changze saw it, his face was a little unbearable, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
He is her husband, her heaven. It's that there is something wrong with him, and she shouldn't be so blatantly disdainful.
Shen Changze felt that Jiang Shu was good at everything, but he didn't understand the way of husband and wife, and he didn't understand the amorous feelings.
That's it, now that the Hou Mansion is no longer in charge of her family, she doesn't need to be angry with him.
After figuring it out, Jiang Shu said with a straight face: "In my opinion, the treatment of the previous village management and dealer should also be treated with grace and power, and divide and dissolve." ”
When it came to business, Shen Changze suppressed the emotions in his heart and seriously thought about it.
"I haven't thought of the specific method, Hou Ye is resourceful, and he should be wiser than a woman in my house."
Shen Changze was speechless.
After sitting for a long time, Jiang Shu felt a little sore back, got up and walked to the soft couch.
Shen Changze saw her lying down, and suddenly said, "If you rest more, I won't disturb you." ”
There is nothing left and right to discuss now, so it is better to solve the personnel matter in the house first.
"Master Hou walks slowly." Jiang Shu waved his hand, without any nostalgia.
When Shen Changze walked out of the house, it had already rained and the sky was clear, but his heart was gloomy and uncertain.
Jiang Shu's sarcasm was really dazzling, like a sharp thorn piercing the bottom of his heart.
Shen Changze went to Tinglan Courtyard first, and then went to Shouyongtang with Shen's mother.
Old Madam Shen listened to his words, and her old face wrinkled and fell into deep thought.
"Does it have to be like this?"
After half a lifetime in the Hou Mansion, who would be willing to go to the village to endure hardships.
It's a chore no matter how you look at it.
"The grandchildren are all planning for the prosperity of the Hou Mansion, such a strategy of killing two birds with one stone can not only reduce expenditure, but also open source." Shen Changze gave up his hands, looking like he had to do it with good intentions.
In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with the subordinate being used by the master.
Old Madam Shen sighed helplessly, she still has a clear distinction between the Hou Mansion and the subordinates.
After all, she was the mother of the Hou Mansion, and Mrs. Shen and Shen's mother were also very handy in handling the affairs of the house.
In a short time, the three of them made a decision and summoned a few of them to negotiate with them.
As Jiang Shu expected, although they were reluctant to go to the village, they were not dissatisfied with the combination of grace and power.
"Rest assured, the Hou Mansion will not forget your merits and will take good care of your families. Even when you are old in the future, you will be able to live and be prosperous, and you will not be treated badly. ”
Old Madam Shen knew that she was moved by emotion, and after some persuasion from her, several people nodded.
Shen Changze breathed a long sigh of relief, and was about to explain the specific matters when someone hurriedly came.
"Master Hou, old lady, Mrs. Tai, Miss has a letter!"
Mother Shen was excited, surprised and delighted: "Give me the letter quickly." ”
Old Madam Shen waved her hand and asked a few people to go back first to hand over the affairs in hand.
After the rain, Jiang Shu lay comfortably on the soft couch and watched the rainbow in the sky.
"Madam, old lady, please come over." Tan Yu entered the house to report.
Jiang Shu was stunned: "What did you say?"
Tan Yu shook her head: "The slave maid asked, saying that there is something important, please ask the lady to come over immediately." ”
The Hou Mansion is cold, the population is simple, what can it matter?
With doubts, Jiang Shu went to Shouyongtang.
Shen Changze and the three of them got together, talking and laughing with a spring breeze on their faces.
Seeing Jiang Shu enter the house, Shen's mother beckoned happily: "Shu'er, come over and sit here." ”
Jiang Shu sat down as he said, and when he saw that the three of them were full of joy, he said suspiciously: "I don't know what my grandmother called me for?"
"Qingrong has come back with his uncle to save his relatives, and it is estimated that there will be half a month to go." Old Madam Shen smiled with a smile on her face, happy from the bottom of her heart.
Mother Shen also smiled and said, "Qingrong is also a return to the door this time, but it is a big deal." ”
Four years ago, Shen Qingrong married Pingyang and left Beijing for several years without returning. This time, he returned to Beijing for thousands of miles, and he must have received the news of Shen Changze's return.
"Huaqing Courtyard has been vacant for many years, and many things are old and damaged, so we have to hurry up and replace them."
"You have to hurry up on this matter, Qingrong is with Xingyuan, Xingyuan is only two years old, it is the time to be delicate, you can't be sloppy in food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Lu Xingyuan is the son of Shen Qingrong and Lu Mingke, and is the eldest grandson of Pingyang County Shou.
Although he is not the prince and grandson, he is also a young master born with a golden spoon, and he is very expensive.
Old Madam Shen and Mother Shen said a word, planning how to welcome Shen Qingrong's family of three.
"It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, Shu'er, you have to care." Mother Shen suddenly held Jiang Shu's hand and said.
Jiang Shu came back to his senses from his stunned and said with a light smile: "Mother, don't worry, I will prepare a meeting gift for Xingyuan." ”
Mother Shen choked and said sadly: "Recently, there have been a lot of things in the house, and I can't pull away from being entangled." For the renovation of Huaqing Courtyard and the homecoming banquet, you have to help your mother share the burden. ”
How is it shared? Is it the kind of effort and money?
Jiang Shu's lips hooked up a sarcastic smile.
In the past, she regarded the Hou Mansion as a home of honor and disgrace, so she never cared about it, and she didn't feel distressed at all when she spent money.
But now, everything is different.
Jiang Shu looked at Shen Changze on the opposite side, and said slowly: "Master Hou asked me to assist in the affairs of the Grange, and the two things collided together, and I was really weak and weak." ”
Originally, she wanted to find an excuse not to go to the Grange with Shen Changze. But now, it seems that there is only one or the other.
Jiang Shu was helpless, she was not reluctant to give up the money, she just didn't want to be wronged again.
When Shen Qingrong got married, she just listened to the words 'eldest sister-in-law is like a mother', and bought a rich dowry for Shen Qingrong.
But when Shen Qingrong got married, she said that she hated her.
If she doesn't please the money, she will be resentful, and she won't do this kind of stupid thing a second time.
However, Mrs. Shen and Mother Shen didn't want to let go of Jiang Shu's cash cow.
"Changze, can you slow down the matter of the Grange, and wait for Qingrong to come back before going." Old Madam Shen said.
"Qingrong is your only sister, what can be more important than her." Shen's mother helped, singing and harmonizing.
Shen Changze hesitated for a moment, and was about to agree.
"It's July now, and autumn sowing is about to begin, so if we don't hurry up and turn over the fields and sow seeds, I'm afraid we will delay next year's harvest."
Jiang Shu said slowly, reminding Shen Changze which is more important.
As a man, Shen Changze naturally cares more about his deeds, and is not as short-sighted as a woman.
After Jiang Shu reminded him, Shen Changze said decisively: "The matter of the Grange cannot be delayed, and the mother should pay more attention to the affairs of the house." ”
When Shen's mother heard this, she was so angry that she almost turned her back on it.
It's really not a good house, I don't know how to spend money like running water, and the Huaqing Courtyard is turned inside and out, and I have to pay thousands of taels of silver, not to mention.
Old Madam Shen also hated that iron could not be made of steel, but she couldn't say it clearly, so she could only sulk.
The woman's calculations are already on the stage, and Shen Changze is a man, so it is not easy to talk to him directly.
Seeing that Old Madam Shen and Mother Shen were annoyed and seemed to have a heart attack, Jiang Shu said leisurely: "I heard that Pingyang County is very wealthy, and if you want to come to the province this time, my uncle will definitely bring a lot of gifts, and my mother will have to pack up the treasury and put it up." ”
As soon as she heard this, Old Madam Shen's dim old eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on Shen's mother's face.
How did they forget about it!
