When Lu Mingke came to Beijing to welcome his relatives, the dowry gift he gave was very rich, and he was about to catch up with the prince to marry his wife.

With the Lu family's generosity, this return gift must not be light.

Thinking like this, Old Madam Shen and Mother Shen were relieved.

Jiang Shu carefully observed their expressions, and the ridicule in his heart became more and more serious.

Why didn't she realize that they were so greedy and selfish?

After tearing off the veil of foolishness and filial piety, Jiang Shu really saw Mrs. Shen and Mother Shen clearly.

Thinking of getting along with them for the rest of his life, Jiang Shu felt a strong disgust in his heart.

She was extremely remorseful, she had only seen the honor and dignity of the Hou Mansion on the surface, but she had not seen the stench of corruption hidden inside.

When he came back from Shouyongtang, Jiang Shu's complexion was not very good, and he didn't eat a few bites of lunch.

Yu Yu asked worriedly, "Madam, what's wrong?" But I have to ask the doctor to take a look. ”

Jiang Shu shook his head and said with a wry expression: "I'm fine, I'm just a little worried." ”

Diseases can be treated, but heart diseases have no cure.

Shen Changze was very concerned about the matter of the Grange, so he took leave three days later, and went to the Zhuangzi with Jiang Shu with a few selected people.

According to the distance, they went to the nearest Sangyanzhuang first.

Departs in the morning and arrives in the afternoon.

"I've seen Master Hou, madam." For their arrival, Zhuang Guan Yang Laofu was extremely surprised and unprepared.

But Shen Changze came prepared.

As soon as he entered the village, Shen Changze asked about the situation in the village, and ordered Huo Chong to take people to inspect the fields and ask for account books.

Yang Laofu said with a humble heart: "Hou Ye and his wife must be tired from the carriage and horses, it is better to rest for one night and see it tomorrow." ”

Shen Changze ignored it, and looked at it with Jiang Shu alone.

As Jiang Shu expected, the account books and fields and other records were vague and unclear, and they were all confused.

If you want to investigate, I am afraid that it will take three or five days of hard work, and it will be difficult to find the hole that came out.

Shen Changze didn't have the leisure to do so, and he didn't bother to delve into such fruitless things.

He stepped down from his top and over the screen, slamming his book to the ground.

"In the past, we didn't care about everything, replaced the village management, and redistributed the fields. From tomorrow onwards, the records will be recreated, and all the tenant farmers in the village will be under unified control, and the crops produced will be disposed of by the Hou government. If there is any more favoritism, it will be dealt with according to law! ”

Shen Changze is a general who returned from the battlefield in blood, he is decisive in killing, cold and fierce, and his face is terrifying and terrifying.

Yang Laofu, the head of the Zhuang who made a mistake, knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Thank you for your kindness, in the future, the villain must be honest and do his best for the Hou Mansion." ”

Shen Changze glanced at Jiang Shu behind the screen, and said according to the agreement between the two: "Yang Laofu was demoted to the deputy head of the village, and his son Yang Youcai was transferred to the Hou Mansion on an errand. ”

The new Zhuang Guan knows nothing about the situation in the village, and must need the assistance of someone who is familiar with the affairs of the village to take over quickly, and Yang Laofu is undoubtedly the best candidate.

But Yang Laofu has a criminal record, in order to prevent him from fooling and bullying the head of the new village, inciting the banker to make trouble. Therefore, his son was transferred to the Hou Mansion as a hostage.

If he dares to have any more bad intentions or the slightest bit of unfaithfulness, it will be his son's future and life that will be ruined.

Parents in the world work hard and make calculations, and they are all children and grandchildren. Jiang Shu's plan is endless, and he directly grasped Yang Laofu's lifeline.

"This ......" Yang Laofu was shocked.

Shen Changze's face sank, and his eyes were fierce: "What, are you unconvinced?"

"Don't dare, the villain obeys orders, Xie Houye."

Yang Laofu is no longer powerful, but he is just a paper tiger with a fox and a fake tiger. But Shen Changze is a fierce beast who really dares to kill people with a knife, and just one look makes people shudder.

After dealing with the affairs of Sangyanzhuang, it was already dark.

After a brief dinner, Jiang Shu took a bath and looked at a large bed in the room and fell into deep thought.

They came in a hurry, Yang Laofu didn't have any preparations, everything was in a hurry. There is only one queen bed in the room, and there is no soft couch.

This means that Jiang Shu can only sleep with Shen Changze tonight.

Although there are other guest rooms in the village, they can't brush Shen Changze's face outside.

Jiang Shu stood in front of the bed, not knowing what to do.

When she married into the Hou Mansion with a girl's heart, she looked forward to being a loving couple with Shen Changze.

After waiting for six years, when Shen Changze returned, she also thought about respecting him like a guest.

But I don't know when she had no expectations for Shen Changze anymore and refused to be close to him.

On weekdays, she can still find a way to avoid him.

But there are only two of them patrolling the village these days, and there is no way to avoid it.

"What's wrong? This bed doesn't agree?" Shen Changze appeared behind her with the moisture after bathing.

Jiang Shu was startled, but he was also anxious because of his words.

"Well, I have some recognition of the bed, I'm afraid I can't sleep well in the past few days, I'm afraid it will disturb the rest of the Hou Ye."

He developed a habit of vigilance at the border gate, and Shen Changze could easily wake up when he heard the slightest movement at night.

But if you live in a separate house, it will cause criticism.

"I'll lay the floor, Master Hou is so resting, I still have to be busy these days, I have to nourish my spirit." Jiang Shu took the initiative to give in.

Shen Changze watched her hold the quilt and spread it on the ground, took a pillow and prepared to lie down in a kimono.

He grabbed her arm.

Jiang Shu's heart tightened, and he looked back at him cautiously.

"The ground is wet and hard, you sleep on the bed, I sleep on the ground." Shen Changze let go of her hand.

Jiang Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and obediently lay down on the bed.

Jiang Shu didn't recognize the bed, but the first time she slept in the same room with a man, she was very unaccustomed to it, and it was difficult to fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Shen Changze leaned sideways and listened to the movement on the bed, believing the fact that Jiang Shu recognized the bed.

"Can't sleep?" He asked in a whisper in the dark.

Hearing him speak coldly, Jiang Shu was startled and said apologetically: "I'll try not to move." ”

As soon as Shen Changze heard that she had misunderstood, he thought, "Why don't I tell you a story?"

"Poof." Jiang Shu couldn't help laughing, "Master Hou is using me as a child." ”

She wasn't interested in coaxing children's stories, but she could listen to what she saw and heard at the border pass.

"Master Hou will tell me about the border pass."

Shen Changze thought about it, his thoughts fell into memories, and he slowly spoke.

Jiang Shu listened attentively and gradually became obsessed.

She had never left Shangjing, and she couldn't imagine what Shen Changze said about the desolate Saibei.

She has been wealthy since she was a child, and she has no worries about food and clothing, and it is difficult to understand how hard it is for Shen Changze to sigh for a long time.

She had never seen death and killing, and she didn't understand how cruel the battlefield that woke Shen Changze up from a nightmare was.

But from Shen Changze's tone, she understood that he never wanted to return to Saibei again.

"Of course, there are times when Sebei is beautiful. In late spring and early summer, everything recovers. The green meadows are full of wild flowers, and the shepherds are waving their horsewhips and humming unknown tunes......"

Jiang Shu closed his eyes and followed Shen Changze's voice to imagine falling into a dream, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

The person who practices martial arts has excellent ear power, and after hearing that the person on the bed is asleep, Shen Changze stopped his voice, and a doting smile rose on his lips.

Recently, he stayed overnight in Sheen Lan Yuan, and the bed was a little excessive. In addition, he has important things to do when he goes out this time, and he has no thoughts.

Sleeping in separate beds like this, falling asleep with a calm narrative, there is also a lot of warmth.

Shen Changze felt that Jiang Shu might not be a lovely wife, but he must be a satisfactory virtuous helper.
