The master and servant walked in circles for a long time before finally reaching the courtyard arranged by the Zhou Mansion for the embroiderers.

As soon as they entered the door, Madam Zhou and Zhou Wan came forward and welcomed Jiang Fuyue in.

The originally spacious courtyard was now filled with embroidery desks. Behind each embroidery desk sat a woman in commoner clothes and jade hairpin. They lowered their heads slightly and were concentrating on the embroidery work on their hands.

Even if they heard the sound of someone coming, only a few embroiderers looked up, then lowered their heads and continued their work.

"I guess it's time for the girl to arrive, so she's been waiting for you at the door!"

Madam Zhou and Zhou Wan led Jiang Fuyue to sit down in the corridor, and were very pleased to see the scene in front of them.

"I just know that even though the government and our Zhou family are working together to distribute food every day, almost no one has enough to eat except the newborn children," Mrs. Zhou said with emotion. "The old people are thinking Children and grandchildren, parents think about their children and the elderly at home, and even children have begun to think about whether their parents, older brothers, sisters, and younger brothers and sisters have enough to eat..."

After going around in a circle like this, everyone said that they were full in the end, but in fact, no one was full.

Zhou Wan smiled and said: "It's better now. Strong men can go to the government, women with skills can come to us, and others can eat the porridge provided by the government... and they don't have to go hungry anymore. ”

Moreover, in the past two days, many grain merchants have come to the city one after another.

The grain merchants who came early saw that there was more and more grain in the city, and they couldn't help but began to take action.

This is a good start.

I'm afraid that not long after, Liangzhou City will be restored to the same state as before.

Madam Zhou and Zhou Wan looked at each other with relief on their faces.

"By the way," Madam Zhou withdrew her gaze and turned to Jiang Fuyue, "Have you met Mr. Shen yet?"

Jiang Fuyue nodded: "I've seen it before. I'm really sorry for making trouble with my wife so early in the morning. I hope my wife won't take offense."

Madam Zhou waved her hands indifferently and said: "It's no big deal, just sleep. You can sleep any day!"

Zhou Wan pursed her lips and finally asked the question she had been suppressing for a long time: "Miss, madam, who is Master Shen?"

When Shen Chuan first arrived this morning, she also went over to meet him.

Simply astonishing.

Even after a few days of running around, the clothes were stained with a little dust, but the cold and dignified look all over his body was not lost at all. On the contrary, it made people unable to take their eyes away.

For a moment, Zhou Wan even understood Liu Bohua.

I understand why Liu Bohua seemed to have lost his mind when he saw Jiang Fuyue.

A person's appearance can be modified with powder, and the poverty and sourness on his body can be covered up with fancy clothes. The temperament that can only be tempered over time will not deceive others, nor can it deceive others. You can tell the truth from the lie at a glance.

Therefore, a person as shrewd as Liu Bohua would not even verify his identity, but would try to make friends even though he knew there was something fishy ahead of him.

Just for the magnanimity of his whole body, it is worth it.

Under Zhou Wan's slightly expectant gaze, Madam Zhou said: "Master Shen, you are a new member of the imperial court. In just over three years, you have already reached the fourth rank! You are really a young talent..."

Madam Zhou became more and more enthusiastic as she talked, and began to take the initiative to talk about Shen Chuan's deeds of killing everyone in the court.

It is said that Shen Chuan took charge of the entire Hou Mansion without blinking an eye, and he also said that he used thunderous means to straighten the atmosphere of the court, so that even many elders are extremely respectful when they see him now.

Mrs. Zhou's words were very exaggerated, and she didn't tell the origin of the matter. She only told the final ending. In just a few sentences, she turned Shen Chuanchuan into an inhumane god.

Zhou Wan's eyes gradually turned from curiosity to admiration. Mrs. Zhou spoke for a quarter of an hour before finally stopping.

Turning around, Jiang Fuyue was looking at the embroiderers in the yard in a daze.

Madam Zhou's heart skipped a beat, thinking something was wrong, and quickly followed Jiang Fuyue's gaze: "Girl, is there anything wrong?"

Jiang Fuyue came to her senses and shook her head: "...No, I just haven't seen such a scene."

At first glance, it seems orderly, but upon closer inspection, everyone is doing different things, and even the expressions on everyone's faces are different, but it is not easy to see.

Madam Zhou felt relieved.

Before she could relax, Jiang Fuyue mentioned it again: "Are the people who are looking after Madam He and the others familiar with her now?"

Madam Zhou sighed: "Girl, I really did not handle this matter correctly, but the situation in our house is... a little special."

Jiang Fuyue put the tea cup in her hand aside and looked sideways at her.

Madam Zhou sighed again, and then said: "Young lady knows that I don't like to be bound by rules, and don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you, so I treat everyone in the house as a sister."

"At the beginning, the sisters were really united, like a hemp rope twisted together, working together to do everything. But then, for some reason, things gradually changed."

At this point, Mrs. Zhou's face became a little complicated: "...I'm not afraid of girls' jokes anymore. In this mansion now, I can't speak as well as Wan'er can!"

Her tone was very sad.

Zhou Wan also sighed and said: "But in the final analysis, my wife is the master of this house, so I also..."

Even if Zhou Wan always has a cold face and assigns things in a commanding tone, the women who are pointed out are actually dissatisfied.

After all, even Madam Zhou, a serious master, always smiled, discussed, and even coaxed and begged them when she spoke to them. Zhou Wan was only Madam Zhou's nominal adopted daughter. With such an identity, naturally, Can't convince the public.

Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Zhou also felt very regretful.

At the beginning, she thought that everyone was born equal, and there was no need to distinguish between superior and inferior. Therefore, she regarded everyone who entered the Zhou Mansion as her own sisters, always asking for their welfare, and taking good care of them.

But I didn't expect that it would turn out like this now.

After Jiang Fuyue heard this, she held the tea cup in her hand again.

Jingzhe Guyu looked at each other and shook their heads.

It is not unreasonable to say that there is no rule without rules.

Mrs. Zhou wants everyone to be created equal, and her starting point is good, but if she doesn't get it right, it will be a mess.

"Girl," Madam Zhou said with a hint of pleading in her tone, "this situation in the house...can you help me sort it out?"

She really couldn't stand it anymore.

Nowadays, the disobedience of people in the mansion is no longer the biggest problem.

What's more serious than this is that there have been people who are bent on being lazy, cutting corners, and doing things in a mess.

If this continues, it will simply destroy the brand.

This is Madam Zhou's bottom line. (End of chapter)
