Chapter 70
"So the Yang family is going well?!"

"Of course it went well!" Nanny Lin laughed.

Huang-shi sighed and stroked her chest, and while she was going down to receive the reward, she was busy making preparations to welcome the matchmaker from the Yang family without mentioning it.

On the Lixiangyuan side, after a few days of rotation, almost all the newcomers are competent.

The two in her room were renamed Pingshuang and Pingxue. Pingshuang was three months old and had previously helped with farm work at home, so although they were solid in their work, they were rushed.

But Ping Xue's thoughts are more detailed, and she doesn't talk as much as Ping Shuang. She always gets things done quietly, but she is not decisive enough in the end.

In order to make them change their temperaments, Shen Xi also taught them to read and write, and told them some allusions by the way.

Maybe it's because he really wanted to do a good job on the job with sincerity, but he was very hardworking. There has been an obvious change in the past few days.

Of course, if you want to engrave the habit into your bones, you have to consolidate it for a long time.

Fortunately, Aunt Pei seems to be very good at disciplining maidservants, among other things, she knows a lot about the rules of big families.In the past, it was useless to think about it, but now it is easy to play.

In addition to teaching them, Shen Xi picked up the ledger left by the original owner in the past few days.

Judging from the information she has obtained so far, the second-family property was neither stolen nor robbed, but was indeed defeated by the original owner.

At that time, they were far away in Xing'ergou, and what she held was private property, so the people in the house couldn't control it.Naturally, they would not have imagined that such a large amount of property would be wiped out in less than three years in the hands of the original owner!
The reason why Shen Ruopu took her back to the mansion after she fulfilled her filial piety was that apart from her responsibilities, she might also be worried that if she was allowed to live there any longer, she would even have problems making ends meet.

That's why, when he asked her to go to Ji's to pay for the grave, he had such an expression of impatience and hatred!
And the reason why Shen Xin dared to come to Lixiangyuan to snatch the porcelain pillow in an open manner back then was because she saw the original owner's hands were stupid, so her large family fortune had already ruined her, so she was not short of a porcelain pillow.

All of these can be explained, however, how could the original owner of a girl's family lose such a large amount of property?

Judging from the fact that the house in Qingshi Town was taken away by someone, there must be someone planning behind it.

But is this calculating person one person, or many?

She called Ping Shuang Ping Xue.

"Tell you to do something, help me inquire about this house, how many hands have passed through in the past three or four years? Who are all the people who have handled it?

"You go with Wang'er, and deal with me carefully. But you are not allowed to tell anyone. Do you understand?"

She gave them the address.

This is the first time Shen Xi ordered the two sisters to do something. The two were a little excited, but Ping Shuang was more impatient, and said: "My aunt has already warned the servants that the first thing to do well is to do what the master has told you. Never disclose it to the outside world.

"Girl, don't worry, no matter whether the servants can handle it well or not, they will never say anything about it."

Shen Xi only wanted to train them, how could he expect them to do it perfectly?
It is not easy to be tight-lipped.

Here nodded in acquiescence, and let them go out.

Zhenzhu Yuanbei really can't let Zhenzhu Yuanbei do this kind of thing. Although she can rest assured that they handle it, it was originally handled by the original owner. It stands to reason that she should know it better than anyone else. Now it's too strange to let them investigate.

Even if Aunt Pei had mentioned the memory loss earlier, it didn't mean she could do whatever she wanted.

"Sister, it's Lixia today, shall we go to the garden to fly a kite?"

As soon as the matter was dealt with here, Shen Liang suddenly came in holding a small kite.

The kite is homemade, probably from the hand of Pearl.

It's just that the rabbit holding a radish painted above should be drawn by Shen Liang himself, because the rabbit is also equipped with a sword.

When Shen Xi heard Li Xia, he unconsciously raised his head and looked out the window.

In April, the rain is obviously less. Although the peach blossoms in the yard have all fallen, the flower seedlings in the yard are growing vigorously. Looking up, they are full of vitality. Even the sky is getting bluer, the most beautiful in a year. The season is almost here.

"It's Lixia so soon." She closed the ledger and walked out the door.

This time in previous years was also the happiest time for her.The Zhang residence has a huge back garden and an inner lake covering an area of ​​two acres.

In spring and summer, Xiao's control over her was also relaxed.

She likes to row a small wooden boat on the lake by herself, enjoy the feeling of steering between the sky and the earth, and also likes to run in the small woods, like a little madman.

"elder sister!"

Shen Liang shook her sleeves.

"Let's go!" She touched his head and stood up.

"Girls wait for slaves too!"

Pearl came up from behind: "It just so happens that the slaves are also going to Xiexiangyuan to receive the moon silver, so I can share the same period with you!"

Hearing the word Yueyin, the fan in Shen Xi's hand stopped.

According to the rules of the Shen family, the first day of each month is the day when the monthly silver is distributed.

The three of them should each have twelve taels of silver per month, and Shen Liang is a bastard, one level lower than Shen Mao's 12 taels a month.

And because Aunt Pei has children, she is equal to Shen Xi.The maids naturally have their own differences.

It is enough to live by, but when the original owner was still there on the first day of last month, and it was not long after they returned home, Ji said that they would move it to this month.

That's all for the maids, how dare she hold back the money from this girl's man's family?

But since Mrs. Ji has the guts, even the original owner did not offend her, she was confiscated. If Zhang Ying came, who had teased Mrs. Ji so much that she wanted to tear her apart, Mrs. Ji would not let go easily. Give her the money.

She led Shen Liang down the stone steps, and said to Pearl: "You can go and have a look. But don't go head-to-head with them."

Pearl knew it well, and agreed to go out.

Following her for more than a month, it can be said that she has seen a lot of storms, and she has more or less established her style of work.

Because of admiration, I also slowly learned how to look at things from her.

Ji Shi is now wishing that they would pounce on her and beg her. How could she miss such a good opportunity now?
But asking is always going to ask, after all, it is their money.

Here in Xiexiang Yuan, Shen Yan is holding a plate of lychee, sitting cross-legged on the beauty bed under the window, watching Ji's make-up.

"Will you give me the monthly money for Rikain?"

"Give me what!" Ji Shi wore earrings inlaid with red gold and emeralds, and his face became vicious in the mirror, "That little bitch has been scheming against me again and again, why should I obediently give her the money? She can't even think about it! "

Shen Yan smiled, peeled a lychee and put it in her mouth, and then said: "But if she sues the old man, it won't work if you don't give it later. This will only make the old man dissatisfied with you.

"This is a thankless task. Don't forget, this time Auntie Sun's fox tail was caught by Lixiangyuan. She is still a little bit awkward."
