Chapter 53 Benefactor
  It was already afternoon after the trip, and You Xiangfu thought she had eaten and didn't ask. Shen Zhuoxi was still hungry, so the master and servant went to Baihe Tower to have a good meal.
  When the shopkeeper of Baihelou saw her, his molar teeth almost burst out in laughter: "Miss, you are doing Baihelou a big favor. If you come to Baihelou from now on, everything will be free of charge!"
  "Oh, I can't afford it." Shen Zhuo smiled and looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Everyone knows what you had in mind earlier."
  "Something went wrong in a panic." The shopkeeper pretended not to understand and changed the subject: "You have great medical skills. Why haven't I heard your name before?"
  "Is the lady's name a taboo thing that you, a person like you, who can adapt to the situation, can ask?" Hui Zhi said dissatisfied: "Hurry up and serve the food, don't be an eyesore here!"
  The shopkeeper was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, I will go and prepare the wine and dishes. You can drink some tea first. The best snow buds are the treasure of our store!"
  "This shopkeeper, the White Crane Tower is so big, he is actually like this." Hui Zhi spat at his back and said, "I'm just asking you to support me, and I'll be done with it in just a few meals!"
  "That's all." Shen Zhuoxi disagreed and said, "Why bother with him? Let's finish eating and then go to Yi'antang."
  The wine and food were served quickly, and they were all Baihelou's signature dishes. Many of the dishes were not necessarily affordable even if you had money.
  The shopkeeper stood by with a smile on his face and apologized: "It was the villain's fault before. Miss Shen doesn't remember the villain's faults and doesn't behave like a villain. This dish is an apology."
  "When you come later, all the dishes will be free and served with priority. In addition, there will be a private room for you in Baihe Tower, on the river side on the sixth floor."
  "You can see half of Shengdu's long street from the room. No one else can enter except you."
  After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he handed Huizhi the key to the wing.
  "Why did you suddenly become enlightened?" Hui Zhi looked at the key carefully to make sure it was genuine, and said suspiciously: "The wing on the sixth floor of Baihe Tower is of the highest quality. Are you willing to give it up?"
  "What the girl said, if it weren't for Miss Shen, no one would be responsible for what happened to Mr. Zhang in our White Crane Tower." The shopkeeper said, changing the topic.
  "Our boss also knows about this, but it's just inconvenient for the boss to show up and tell the villain to treat his benefactor well."
  "It turns out it was your master who spoke." Huizhi suddenly realized and asked Shen Zhuoxi for instructions, "Miss, should we accept it or not?"
  "Take it." Shen Zhuoxi put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "I defended Baihe Tower from disasters. This is what I deserve!"
  After she was full and full, Baihelou even packed a lot of customized snacks for her.
  Shen Zhuoxi turned across the long street to Yi'an Hall. All the money she had obtained from Prince Yu's Mansion was given to Li Zhong to expand and decorate the facade.
  Of the two thousand taels of silver on hand today, I ordered Li Zhong to give the remaining one thousand taels to Yu Mu, and left another 500 taels for Li Zhong to purchase goods.
  When we returned to the Taishi Mansion, the sky was already dark.
  Food is being served in the dining room one after another, but everyone has not arrived yet.
  Apart from Aunt Yang, only Shen Jingya and her daughter were there.
  Seeing Shen Zhuoxi, Shen Jingya said angrily: "The second sister today is really different from the past. She didn't even blink when she entered the White Crane Tower. Is the food in the White Crane Tower delicious?"
  "It's delicious." Shen Zhuoxi smiled brightly, as if he didn't hear the sharpness in her words: "Why, Third Sister hasn't eaten it before? And you specifically asked me if it tastes good?"
  "Of course I have eaten it!" Shen Jingya's face turned red and she said, "I went there with my uncle's sisters and my eldest sister before, but it's you. Is the little moon silver in your hand enough to pay the bill?"
  "You don't have to worry about it, I have a reward from the Queen Mother." Shen Zhuoxi smiled even more and raised the things in his hands: "I brought you some things, but based on what you said, I don't want them either."
  "It seems that I can only work hard on myself, and my stomach will burst!"
  Shen Jingya looked at the wrapping paper in Huizhi's hand and her eyes almost closed.
  Baihelou's customized dim sum melts in your mouth, is soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy, and has beauty-beautifying effects.
  Due to the special ingredients, it is difficult to buy even if you have money. Such a big bag costs at least several hundred taels of silver!
  Although Shen Jingya's uncle, the Han family, had a lot of money in business, the Han family had a lot of expenses themselves. Most of the money given to Han Xiangru every month was used to subsidize the Taishi Mansion.
  With the money allocated to Shen Jingya, she wants to buy jewelry, clothes, and bribe other ladies in the house. How can she afford these things!
  She wanted it very much, but her pride prevented her from saying it. Shen Jingya swallowed softly and looked away: "Huh, what the hell, you are the only one who cares about it, I don't like it!"
  Shen Zhuoxi noticed her pretentiousness and told Hui Zhi: "Everyone is about to eat. If the third lady doesn't like it, there's no guarantee that others will like it. You put a plate on the table and everyone will have a taste later."
  "Why are you pretending to be generous?!" Shen Jingya snorted and said, "Take it back and eat it by yourself, I'll kill you!"
  The angrier she became, the happier Shen Zhuoxi became. After Huizhi finished packing the snacks, he said, "Grandma is still sick, let's go and take a look."
  The old lady was afraid of the heat and had not left Jing'an Garden for several days after her return. When Shen Zhuoxi left, he happened to be in the small kitchen to deliver dinner to the old lady.
  There is a small ice basin in the house, which is neither cold nor hot.
  When the old lady saw her, she was quite happy: "It's dinner time. If you don't need to eat, how come you still have time to come to my place?"
  "I ate outside and wanted to come and see you." Shen Zhuoxi asked Hui Zhi to hand the prepared portion to the old lady and said, "I brought some snacks specially for you, please try them."
  "You've been very busy these days, right?" The old lady looked at her lovingly and said, "Did you go to the palace to see the Queen Mother?"
  "No, I went to Prince Yu's Mansion to express my gratitude." Shen Zhuoxi smiled and said, "Don't blame grandma for not coming to see me."
  "You young people are doing young things. Why should I blame you?" The old lady pulled her to sit down together and said, "There is white fungus soup for dinner. You can drink some with me."
  Shen Zhuoxi sat down and said, "Okay, I just have something to tell my grandmother."
  "What's the matter?" The old lady scooped up a bowl of soup and handed it to her and asked.
  "Xiaoxiang Tower was built by my mother. It is also my favorite place. It has been rarely repaired over the years, and now it is really dilapidated." Shen Zhuoxi paused and said.
  "I want to renovate it and move my mother's old belongings and spiritual tablet into it for worship."
  The old lady's face stiffened and she said, "Your mother has been dead for many years. What old things do you still have?"
  "The Queen Mother said that day that she gave her mother a lot of dowry back then." Shen Zhuoxi smiled sweetly: "I think, as my mother's only bloodline, I am qualified to guard those things for her."
  "With the status of Master Yitai and the lintel of the house, you shouldn't ask for a dowry like my mother. The Dongchen Kingdom doesn't have this rule, right?"
  No matter how high the lintel is, if word spreads about asking for a dowry from his wife, the whole city will laugh out loud!
  The old lady frowned and even stopped drinking the soup - after the death of Princess Xiaoqing, Shen Zhuoxi went crazy and foolishly. Of course, all the dowry left by Princess Xiaoqing went into the treasury of the Taishi Mansion. Where is it now? Did you find everything?
