My wife is frail and sickly

"What are your names? How old are you?" Shen Xiaolou called the two maids over.

These two girls are the most obedient in Hekoyuan. One of them is sent by Shen Xiaolou to carry food. She does whatever she is told and says whatever she is told.When Shen Xiaolou ordered the courtyard door to be closed, no one else moved, and she was the first to move.The other girl was the one who followed her. Together they closed the courtyard door and bolted it.

Shen Xiaolou likes obedient people.

Even though she managed all the slaves in the courtyard very smoothly, she didn't know any of their names.

The two girls were very uneasy when they were called over, but they still answered honestly, "My name is Hongxiang. She is twelve years old."

"My name is Luluo, and I am thirteen this year."

These two girls have good names, but they are not very good-looking.Hongxiang was the one sent by Shen Xiaolou to carry the meal. She was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked naive.Green Luo is thin, with dark skin and small eyes. Her eyes are flexible but not frivolous. She is not a sneaky person.

Shen Xiaolou fanned the wind with a handkerchief and asked them, "Is there a lot of work in the courtyard?"

The two girls looked at each other, and Luluo spoke first, "It's not too much to say something back to the master."

It’s not too much, it’s a bit much, but it means it can be done.

Hongxiang nodded along.

Although Shen Xiaolou stipulated that the yard should be swept once a day and the house wiped once every three days, he still had to take care of the flowers and trees, wait for the master to eat and wash, which was actually a lot of work.There were originally five of them, but two of them were kicked out because they were lazy and gossiping about the master, making the manpower even tighter.

Shen Xiaolou said: "It's a lot of work and tiring, but I don't plan to add more people."

Hongxiang said "Oh", her voice was weak, and she seemed a little disappointed.Green Luo lowered her head slightly and remained silent.

Shen Xiaolou knew the personalities of the two of them and said, "I can give you a promotion so that you feel..."

Hongxiang's big eyes suddenly brightened up. She waved her hands repeatedly and said hurriedly: "Master, I'm not tired, not at all. I can finish the work. Sister Luluo, are you right?" First-class maid, She's not stupid.

Hong Xiang, a conscientious person, knows what a good deal is, and Luluo knows it even more.Just based on their looks, it would be difficult for a second-class maid to do it, let alone a first-class maid.I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of the word "rude" until my death.

A rough servant girl gets [-] taels of silver per month, but a first-class maid can get one tael of silver per month, which is an extra [-] taels of silver. Who doesn't know how to calculate this?

In addition, although the master of Wakoyuan is new, he is not difficult to take care of at all. There are fewer people in the yard, so there are fewer conflicts, and there is more work, but he does it with less worry.

Luluo nodded, pulled Hongxiang to kneel down, and kowtowed, "I will do my best, this slave."

Shen Xiaolou took out the money box and put it on the table. He raised the corners of his mouth and said, "You have worked hard these past two days. Here, each of you grab a handful and buy some snacks to make up for it."

The two girls were startled. They had never seen their master reward them like this. They didn't know whether to reach out or not.

Shen Xiaolou seemed to have read through their thoughts and said: "Catch them. Whoever has bigger hands will get more, and whoever catches less will get less. What are you waiting for?"

When the two of them saw that Shen Xiaolou didn't seem to be coaxing, Hongxiang was eager to give it a try, "Is that slave really captured?"

Shen Xiaolou nodded and said with a smile: "Catch it. If you can catch all the boxes, they will all be yours."

"You can't catch so many slaves." Hongxiang looked at the copper plates in the money box and said honestly.She stretched out her hand and grabbed a large handful. She estimated that there were dozens of them.Luluo followed closely behind and also grabbed a large handful. The two of them said happily: "I thank the master for the reward."

Shen Xiaolou waved his hand, "The rules in my yard are very simple. Work honestly, keep your mouth tight, and don't tell anyone about the things in the yard. Can you do it?"

"Yes!" The two girls held the copper plates and their voices were loud!
Shen Xiaolou nodded slowly, "Okay, you go down and ask Mrs. Zhao to come over."

Mrs. Zhao is the only remaining rough envoy of Wakoin.

Shen Xiaolou beat Mrs. Zhao again, and of course she grabbed a lot of coins when she left, laughing so hard that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened.After waiting for three days, Shen Xiaolou felt that the opportunity had been given. Since they didn't want it, she had to take the initiative.

The gate of Heguangyuan finally opened, and Shen Xiaolou looked sick and was helped out by Luluo. The tall and strong Hongxiang held up an umbrella and carefully shielded her from the sun, with worry on his face, "Master, you Are you okay? I'll let you carry me, right? Why don't you go back to the yard and rest while I go call the doctor?"

"No, I can do it." Shen Xiaolou's voice was weak but very stubborn, "Please doctor...do you have any money? I have to ask for the account. Only when the money comes can I ask the doctor to prescribe medicine."

Should you go to Lin or Shen Derong?The inner house is under the control of the Lin family, and she has the final say on the distribution of Yue Yin. Logically, she should be the one to deal with it.However, she is a virtuous person and would not fall into such an obvious trap. It must be because of Shen Derong's words that she dares to be so confident.

Then go find Nasty Dad. I heard he has a visitor today, which is great.

"father!"

Shen Derong was walking in the house with his guests when he suddenly heard the word "Dad". When he looked up, he saw Shen Xiaolou coming out of nowhere. His expression changed, "Why are you here?" He subconsciously looked around him. The expression of the distinguished guest.

Shen Xiaolou didn't care, he walked over directly, and as soon as he called daddy, he covered his lips and coughed. After a while, his face turned red from holding it in, and he leaned weakly on Luluo, "Dad, I miss you."

The distinguished guest looked at Shen Xiaolou curiously and looked at Shen Derong, "Is this your young lady?"

Shen Derong wished he could slap away this debt collector, and said dryly: "Yes..." He looked at Shen Xiaolou with a fierce look in his eyes, scolding, "Sick? Since you are sick, you can stay in the house to recover. Wait, why are you running around here? And what's going on with what you're wearing? How do you look decent?"

Shen Xiaolou felt aggrieved, "What's wrong with my clothes? They're clean, don't they just have a few more patches? You think I'm embarrassed because I'm not well-dressed, and you didn't even make me new clothes!"

"Do you think I figured it out? I finally came back, and you just threw me into the shabby yard and ignored me. You didn't give me any money, and you left me to fend for myself! No one felt sorry for me, but I felt sorry for myself. This Why don't you drag your sick body to you and ask for moon silver?"

"Father..."

She spoke so urgently and quickly that Shen Derong wanted to stop her mouth. His face was particularly ugly. He hated this damn girl for speaking so freely. He wanted to get angry, but he was concerned about the presence of the distinguished guest, so he could only suppress his breath and said: "You girl, You know how to talk nonsense, who can be short of you?"

Then he quickly turned sideways and explained to the distinguished guest, "My daughter is not very smart. She has been raised outside before returning home. She doesn't understand the rules and is used to talking nonsense. It makes the prince laugh."

There's something wrong with your brain!Shen Xiaolou was very unhappy.

This dad is so dishonest!

Who is this person?Prince?Which one?To be able to please my annoying father so much, his status is extraordinary!

Shen Xiaolou couldn't help but look over and met a pair of young eyes.She was startled and subconsciously nodded to him as a sign of politeness.

The man didn't seem to expect Shen Xiaolou to be so bold, and was a little surprised.

Shen Xiaolou did not forget about business, "Dad, we agreed that day, how can you go back on your word? I'm in the village..."

"Okay, okay." For fear that Shen Xiaolou would say something even more shocking, Shen Derong quickly interrupted her, "Yueyin, right? Here you go! Someone will bring it to you in a minute. Since you are sick, go back to the yard quickly. Just rest."

Shen Xiaolou didn't believe it, "Really?"

"Are you questioning your fatherhood?" Shen Derong's eyes were filled with anger, and he really wanted to strangle this rebellious girl to death.

"Okay, let me trust dad again! Dad, hurry up. You are never at home. Next time I will have to go to the yamen where you are doing business to find you." Shen Xiaolou turned around three times, "Dad, please do it." Don’t forget it!”

Shen Xiaolou walked away, and Shen Derong forced his respect in embarrassment, "This girl is used to making mischief. Alas, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and all the children are debts. Haha, the king is laughing..."

"It's just Marquis Shen's family affairs." The implication was that it had nothing to do with him, "My mother-in-law sent me to express my gratitude. It's getting late, so I won't disturb Marquis Shen."

Shen Derong wanted to stay, but had no reason, so he could only send him away with a smile on his face.Then he went to the accounting office with a livid face and said, "Take three thousand, two hundred taels of silver and send it to... Wakoyuan." (End of Chapter)
