22 The Reward
Shen Yanjiao didn't care about it, she pulled out and walked out quickly, but fortunately, Gu Nanzhang didn't follow, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
After she quickly tidied up her clothes, smoothed her breath, and patted off some of the dust from the firewood stack, Qiu Yu took the sachet and turned it back here.
"Girl?"
Qiu Yu glanced at Shen Yanjiao, then looked at the sun in the sky, and said cautiously while changing the sachet for Shen Yanjiao, "I'm afraid that the girl is not a little hot, why is there something wrong with her face?" β
"I'm fine,"
Shen Yanjiao said, "I just ran into a vicious dog and was startled. β
Qiu Yu was taken aback: "There is a vicious dog in this Zhuangzi?" β
As he spoke, he hurriedly looked around again, worried, and hurriedly escorted his girl back to the table.
After a lunch break, the second half of the day is still lively. Although the dinner is more formal, it can be regarded as a family banquet on Qixi Festival, like the Qin family and Nie Xiao, they did not participate in the dinner and left early.
Gu Nanzhang was also not there, and Shen Yanjiao was in a better mood at the dinner.
After the banquet, everyone listened to the play, specially invited the outside troupe, babbling and singing, and it was really more open than the team commonly used by the powerful family.
Since the seats for men and women listening to the drama were separated, Shen Yansong took Shen Yanliu with him, and Shen Yanjiao never had a chance, so she calmed down and asked her brother, why did she say that at that time?
In her last life, she was accustomed to scheming and calculating, but she never knew that Shen Yanliu could tell a big lie so calmly at such a young age.
Especially since she was reborn, since she put her mind on her younger brother, the child looks obviously more lively and cheerful......
She never realized that this child could have such scheming.
To be honest, she was a little worried, for fear that this child would be like her previous life, rich and glorious on the outside, but lonely and cold on the inside...... But it shouldn't be, even if no one loves him, he still has her sister!
"Look at what the play says,"
At this time, the second girl, Shen Yanwan, smiled with the eldest girl next to her, Shen Yanrou, "There are many talented and beautiful women, but I am afraid that it is rare to find a fairy couple in this worldββ"
After a pause, he lowered his voice slightly and laughed quietly, "I miss my father and mother a little." β
Her father and mother are the couples she envies, because she thought that couples in the world were like this before, but when she grew up, she knew that her father and mother were like this, which was rare in the world.
"How can there be so many births of perfection in this world,"
Shen Yanrou smiled and said, "People in the world always have to be a little more self-reliant, and do their best to get a little blessing in everything, but what you said is right, if you really meet that fool, even if you work hard, you may not have any sincerity." β
"Amitabha."
The four girls sitting on Shen Yanrou's side, Shen Yanqiao, were confused, and the little girl's family recited the Buddha very decently, which amused everyone.
Shen Yanjiao also laughed with everyone, watching the singing and playing on the stage for a while:
Originally, since she was reborn, she was not in the mood to think about her future for a while. Now that I think about it, with just a few contacts with these foreign men, I really can't really understand that person.
But she can't help but marry.
According to the rules of this dynasty, women can set up a female household, for example, Shen Yanwan can recruit Langjun at home.
However, to establish a female household, you must have the support of your father and brothers. Only with the guarantee of the father and brother can a female household be established in the government.
In a noble family like the Shen family, unless you have to marry someone due to a serious illness or the like, it is not unfilial piety if you don't marry. If you lose the favor of your relatives, you will inevitably have a hard time living in the future.
Since this world is like this, then she might as well have a bright plank road and a dark Chen Cang with this world.
Find a lover who can see it right now, and has a good character, and when it's time to marry, he will marry after listening to the family arrangement.
After getting married, the person who can be exchanged is sincere, and it is best to be a couple who will be in love with each other for a lifetime. If not, in this life, she will not seek any fame and fortune, and will directly divorce from that person.
After leaving, she said that she wanted to set up a female household, her parents and brothers must pity and support, with the blessing of the family, she clutched her own dowry, even if she can't be prosperous and rich in this life, money and food are sure.
Then she will have the final say in the future...... Even if you can't ask for the relatives of the gods, you can also spend a lifetime, and you will be happy and healthy, and every bit of happiness is true.
Think about it...... This really does make.
"Third sister, what are you laughing at?"
At this time, Shen Yanwan saw the mysterious smile on Shen Yanjiao's face at a glance, and couldn't help but glance at the parting men and women who were crying on the stage...... I couldn't help but look confused.
"My heart rejoices,"
Shen Yanjiao's eyes lit up, "What can you do." This is a good songβ"
As he spoke, this one was over.
The Zhuangzi housekeeper on the Shen family's side shouted, "Reward." β
For a while, the little guys who had been prepared for a long time threw the exchanged copper coins to the stage like rain.
"This play is excellent, not to mention the good singing, even the appearance is amazing,"
Third Mrs. Shen, who was sitting next to Second Mrs. Shen, smiled, "It should be rewarded." β
was lively, and Shen Yansong and a few others in the men's seat over there had already rewarded some small things they had prepared.
These are different from rewards, they are some exquisite gadgets of the rich and noble, such as small jade pendants, hooks, etc., which means that they are rewarded by individuals, and they should be thanked by the rewarded actor himself.
Here, Mrs. Shen and the others, in order to be lively, also had a lot of fun, and they all rewarded it.
When the troupe member with the tray came over, Shen Yanjiao smiled and took off the jade bracelet he was wearing.
Although this jade bracelet is not particularly expensive, it is slightly more valuable than the gadgets given by others.
"The third sister is so interested,"
Shen Yanwan snorted and laughed lightly, "Which one is it for?" β
"Reward for that little scholar,"
Shen Yanwan smiled at the tray of humanity, "Just say that he has a good voice and should be rewarded." β
The person on the tray was stunned: after all, others either rewarded the Tsing Yi or the little student...... No matter how bad it is, it is also an old student in the play.
Who would have thought that this noble third girl was actually born to that inconspicuous boy.
After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and then retreated.
After a while, the actors who received the reward went to find the nobles who rewarded them, and kowtowed and thanked them one by one.
Soon, a drama who was slightly taller than Shen Yanliu came to kowtow to Shen Yanjiao wearing the costume of a scholar in the play.
Shen Yanjiao looked at this little drama with her eyes, and sure enough, she was not wrong before, this child's appearance was first-class in that drama troupe......
is not only in the troupe, if this is a child of a noble family, I am afraid that in the future, just with this face, I will be able to show off in the capital.
Unlike the dog man Gu Nanzhang's cold face, the corners of this child's eyes are full of tenderness and charm, which makes people feel much more comfortable.
The rules of the capital, the reward of the female dependents, the drama can't talk too much, the little drama only kowtowed to Shen Yanjiao, and after quietly and secretly glancing at Shen Yanjiao a few times, he retreated silently very well.
Seeing this little drama retreat, Shen Yanjiao lowered her eyelids, and she had more and more ideas in her heart:
Once she really wants to live on her own, then she often calls these comforting actors to sing music for her...... It was a happy day. Or even if you are too old to go outside and ask for trouble, it is also excellent to buy one directly and put it at home.
In her previous life, she was always busy calculating and hoarding, and she didn't really enjoy any of the gold and silver, which was really shocking.
But even gold and silver have to be saved in this life, whether it is her or Ah Liu, living in this world is always inseparable from these.
After saving this heart on Qixi this time, Shen Yanjiao's mood was really much more relaxed.
Therefore, after about a month, Old Madam Shen called her to her side again, saying that there was a letter from Mrs. Qin's side that the Nie family intended to marry Nie Xiao and the Shen Mansion.
But this time the old lady said very tactfully, because of the previous Fu Yunshan incident, I was afraid that Shen Yanjiao would resist in her heart, so the old lady just pretended to gossip, slightly revealing a little bit of this meaning.
"I've been busy doing some embroidery lately,"
Shen Yanjiao also smiled euphemistically, "The matter of the eldest sister is also getting closer and closer, and in the second half of the year, we have a lot of entertainment in the house, and things are complicated, so I will work with the eldest sister and the second sister to learn some chores from my mother and uncle...... What Grandmother Said...... I don't understand it either...... It's all up to my grandmother. β
Old Madam Shen smiled and nodded with satisfaction:
These three girls did not refuse.
But the three girls also said that they obviously don't want to think about these things in the past six months, and they haven't been able to get married yet, and it's not too late to officially discuss their relatives after the New Year.
What Shen Yanjiao said is also the truth, the second half of the year itself has many festivals, and his father Shen Ke's birthday is also in the second half of the year, and he has to prepare for Shen Yanrou's marriage, plus all kinds of entertainment, etc., the second lady of the housewife Shen is very busy.
Mrs. Shen San naturally wanted to help her eldest sister-in-law, so she took Shen Yanrou and a few other girls to help Mrs. Shen and teach the girls some chores.
Shen Yanrou is a concubine, she has been by the side of Second Mrs. Shen since she was a child, and she is quite proficient in general affairs. Shen Yanwan is a little weaker, but she can also understand some account books and library movements, etc.
Originally, Mrs. Shen San thought that it was the most difficult to guide Shen Yanjiao, but she didn't think that Shen Yanjiao was also very talented in general affairs.
When she saw her uncle's surprise, Shen Yanjiao couldn't help but laugh in her heart: she had been tossing these all her life in her previous life, and it would be strange if she wasn't proficient.
Here, Shen Yanjiao studied smoothly, but there was a problem in Shen Yanliu's school. It turned out that Shen Yanliu had a little conflict with the gentleman who taught arithmetic.
Shen Yanjiao learned that although Mr. taught arithmetic, he was more pedantic, and Shen Yanliu sometimes had some bold and new ideas......
Mr. Na reprimanded Shen Yanliu for only money and profit, and ignored Confucian righteousness, which is a thought that only those treacherous businessmen have.
Shen Yanjiao was a little speechless.
The gentlemen her father had hired were really similar to her father.
Shen Yanliu was already special, but he used that set to restrain him...... I'm afraid it will dampen Shen Yanliu's interest in studying.
While comforting Shen Yanliu, Shen Yanjiao began to ponder that she would personally find a suitable gentleman for her younger brother.
However, it was a coincidence that in order to prepare for Shen Yanrou's marriage, the Shen Mansion wanted to buy some maids, grandmothers, and some small maids who could run outside.
In addition, there are several girls in the Shen Mansion who have become relatives in the past two years, and there are a few big girls such as Qiuyue and others, who have also set people, if they are married, they have some new assignments, and it is inconvenient to continue to serve in front of the girl.
When buying people in the house, there has always been a fixed person to do it.
This time, Ren Yazi brought thirty or forty people over with him and let the Shen Mansion choose.
Shen Yanjiao and the others looked through the window, and who did they fancy, so they asked Mama to bring people to the porch, and then looked at them carefully, and if they liked them, they stayed directly.
"Just herβ"
First, she picked a girl, and when it was Shen Yanjiao's turn, she pointed to a stout girl with a straight face at the end of the row and said, "That strong girl." β
"Third sister?"
Shen Yanwan hurriedly said, "What do you want her to do?" β
Such a row, following the girl, wouldn't it attract ridicule? Besides, it's not clever to look at, so it's hard to arouse.
If you want to do rough work, then you only tell the grandmother to do it, the grandmothers can't do it, and you can also call a little girl to do it, where is the need for such a girl?
"There is an eye,"
Shen Yanjiao didn't explain much, and said with a smile, "It's her." β
It's nothing else, when Gu Nanzhang grabbed her wrist violently next to the firewood stack before...... She really felt the power of a man.
Since she is weak...... Then what is lacking is what is made up.
The man's teeth were shocked, and he went over and kicked the girl, so that the girl who was still stupid quickly kowtowed.
When it was the turn to choose a servant or something, Mrs. Shen asked the housekeeper to bring the people to tell the origin one by one.
"Luo Qingshi, hometown-"
"This one doesn't have to, the next one."
Without waiting for the roll call to end, Second Lady Shen couldn't help frowning when she saw that the one named Luo Qingshi was actually a one-eyed person.
She is a slave for her daughter to marry, and such a person naturally looks inappropriate.
When she heard the words "Luo Qingshi", Shen Yanjiao was stunned suddenly, and then saw the man's one-eyed eye, and her heart suddenly understood:
She knows this Luo Qingshi, because in the previous life, this Luo Qingshi was bought by a priest's family in the capital, and as a result, he ran a pawnshop for the master's family with financial management methods beyond ordinary people, and opened up eight direct stores from two to eight, and opened up other businesses......
It's a pity that he was suspicious of the master's family and framed him for fornicating with a concubine of the master's family, and this Luo Qingshi was angry and actually stabbed the master. At that time, this case shocked the entire capital and became the talk of others after dinner.
"I asked for him for Aliu."
As soon as she thought of this, when she came to her again, Shen Yanjiao hurriedly said.
Second Mrs. Shen frowned, obviously a little disapproving: "Third girl, why don't you pick again?" If you can't look down on the rest, it's just a matter of asking people to bring some more people. β
"Mother,"
Shen Yanjiao smiled and made an excuse, "This person is one-eyed, it's a little incomplete, but Ah Liu...... I don't care, and after getting along, maybe the master and servant will be more harmonious. β
Although Second Mrs. Shen felt that this statement was a bit far-fetched, it could be seen that Shen Yanjiao had made up her mind, so she did not refuse. He also said that if he felt bad in the future, he would pick another one for Ah Liu.
Seeing that Second Mrs. Shen agreed, Shen Yanjiao breathed a long sigh of relief.
When the deeds and other things were done here, Shen Yansong suddenly walked over.
"Mother,"
Shen Yansong first saluted his mother, and then looked at Ren Yazi, "Among these people today, is there one named Luo Qingshi?" β
Hearing that this person's deed was already on Shen Yanliu's side, Shen Yansong sighed.
"What are you looking for this man for?"
Second Mrs. Shen was puzzled.
"Brother Gu said that he wanted to add a small guy,"
Shen Yansong hurriedly explained, "Last time, I passed by the convoy of Gyeonggi people's tooth shop, and I saw a person named Luo Qingshi who was very articulate, and I heard that this group of people had been brought to Beijing, so I went to inquire, and I knew that I was brought to our house, so I was specially asked to askββ"
said and said, "Since the fourth brother stayed, then I will go back and talk to Brother Gu, and ask him to find another clever one." β
Shen Yanjiao: "......"
Suddenly, I was in a better mood.
