Chapter 7
As for the matter about the housekeeper, Shen Qingzi acted as if it hadn't happened, and didn't tell anyone about it.On the contrary, she was quite interested in Concubine Liu Gui's birthday banquet, and she asked Nanny Zhuang to inquire about related matters.Concubine Liu Gui's birthday banquet was only a few days away, and as the residence of Dingguo Marquis, the invitation had already been received.On the case was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and a copy of "The Great Nirvana Sutra". When she was free, Shen Qingzi would copy it over and over again. The lower script was very beautiful.

During those three months, every night, she copied the real Shen Qingzi's handwriting, over and over again, until she could no longer see the difference.Her hands were full of calluses, but they were softened with water little by little, removed, and then applied with ointment. Someone once said that her persistence and tenacity were amazing, so that person was willing to pave the way for her big plan.

"Miss!" After returning to the Shen's house, Madam Zhuang got close to the people in the house she knew before. After all, she had been away from the Shen's house for a long time, and she didn't know what happened now.And the maids who were acquainted with each other before have become the stewards, and after a few visits, they can find out some things.Seeing that Cuihe was not in the room and Qiuyue was rubbing ink beside Shen Qingzi, she said intentionally: "Miss is copying the Buddhist scriptures for the old man again. Miss is really filial, it looks like she copied it again!!"

"Yeah, grandpa treats me so well, so I copy Buddhist scriptures every day to pray for grandpa, Qiuyue, copy it over and over again, you can send it to grandpa!" The good Buddhist scriptures breathed lightly, and also shook lightly to let the ink dry faster.

After hearing this, Qiuyue put the stack of Buddhist scriptures in place, and said with a smile: "Missy is really filial, the old man must be very happy!

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Shen Qingzi asked Nanny Zhuang after Qiuyue left, "Did you find out something?" Fang Zhuoyun favors him even more, it's really hard work!

"Liu Guifei is the most favored imperial concubine and empress. She comes from Zhenyuan Hou Liu's family. For this birthday banquet, the wife of the family and the second lady started to prepare it. The second lady even embroidered a beautiful picture of thousands of flowers by herself. The eldest lady , do you also want to attend such a birthday banquet?" Madam Zhuang was not clear about what Shen Qingzi was going to do, nor was she clear about Shen Qingzi's true identity.

"Why can't I go? I'm the eldest lady of the Shen family. When I come back, I'm going to throw a big reception banquet. It's obvious that I want to marry me off early. I will naturally be allowed to go to concubine Liu Guifei's birthday banquet." Yes." Shen Qingzi said, her tone was a little sarcastic.

Seeing Shen Qingzi's determined tone, Grandma Zhuang didn't say anything, she just thought that she was too passive for herself who didn't understand anything, and she should find a way to protect herself. My motherland, I can only lose my life here!
When Qiuyue came back from delivering the Buddhist scriptures, she saw Shen Qingzi copying the Buddhist scriptures again, so she said, "Miss, I just saw that the second lady seemed to be coming this way!"

"Second Madam?" Shen Qingzi was a little unresponsive.

"Well, it's the second master's wife!" Qiuyue hesitated and said: "I guess it happened yesterday."

"Why can't I remember what happened yesterday!" Shen Qingzi said with a puzzled look!

"Miss, have you forgotten that the second lady asked you to take care of the house yesterday?" Nanny Zhuang reminded, "Didn't the second lady say that there are still two pieces of satin from the second lady's side?"

There was no nervous expression on Shen Qingzi's face, she was still copying the Buddhist scriptures carefully one stroke at a time, and said indifferently: "What do you want Satin to do with me, go directly to the warehouse, right?"

Seeing this, Qiuyue and Nanny Zhuang didn't say much. After saying this, the second lady came in hurriedly. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she could hear her shrill voice shouting: "I have two horses. The satin hasn't come down yet, Miss, what's going on, I'm still waiting for new satin to make clothes!" While speaking, the second lady arrived at the door of Shen Qingzi's room.

Shen Qingzi put down the pen and ink in her hand, got up and faced the second lady, the second lady had a slightly plump oval face, although there were lines in her red phoenix eyes, at this moment, the phoenix eyes were wide open, with a somewhat angry expression.

"Second Aunt, right? I don't know what is the matter of being so angry?" Shen Qingzi asked pretending to be puzzled.

"What's the matter, I said Miss, I'm your second aunt, can't I get two bolts of satin? , why, are you going to give me a face when you come back this time?" The second lady was already in a bad temper, but she waited and waited, but finally got such a reply, she was so angry that she came over angrily to talk to Shen Qingzi confrontation.

Shen Qingzi showed a look of surprise on her face, she only heard her say: "Second Aunt, Qingzi has only been home for a few days, how can I be the one who decides the affairs of this family, I don't know the nuns who are in charge, and How could it be possible to prevent them from giving the satin to Second Aunt? Second Aunt said that she wanted it half a month ago, but it had been a long time. Half a month ago, Qingzi was still in the nunnery in the mountains. Qingzi helped her mother take care of the family affairs, but Qingzi was busy copying Buddhist scriptures for the old man, so she must have neglected that side. Alas, it was also my fault. How about this, I still have a few bolts of satin gifted by my mother in my house. If you like it, you can choose it at will!"

The second wife came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, but seeing Shen Qingzi's appearance, she was not lying at all, and her words were also sincere.And listening to her words, what she said was also reasonable, a daughter who has been raised in the nunnery for 13 years, how can she take care of affairs as soon as she comes back, this must be because Qingyao girl is lazy!The second lady has a violent temper, and her anger comes and goes quickly, so she said with some embarrassment at the moment: "How can I ask for your material, that's all, I'll go to Qingyao!"

"I'm afraid my sister is not free either. Concubine Liu Guifei's birthday is approaching, and my sister is rushing to embroider pictures for Concubine Liu Gui. Second Aunt, Qingzi will accompany you to the storeroom. Let's see who is in charge, even Second Aunt's face. None!"

Seeing this, the second lady also nodded and said: "I want this material urgently, so I'll go and see again, who dares to talk nonsense!"

Shen Qingzi accompanied the second lady to the storeroom, followed by Qiuyue and Nanny Zhuang. Qiuyue thought that the eldest lady was soft-tempered, but she didn't expect that her words would make people stunned for a while.She couldn't help but look at Nanny Zhuang more, but she didn't know who taught it.

However, Nanny Zhuang knew that Shen Qingzi was not as weak as she had shown, she still couldn't figure out whether Shen Qingzi wanted to take care of this matter, or didn't want to.

The nanny who is in charge of managing the fabrics in the house has already listened to the second lady's orders, and deliberately wanted to embarrass the eldest lady, so when the second lady came to pick up the satin, she deliberately said that the eldest lady did not give orders.After a while, I saw the eldest lady leading the second lady over. Everyone knew the second lady's temper. Thinking that the eldest lady must have been scolded by the second lady, the people below were a little gloating.When she saw Shen Qingzi coming with the second lady, the nanny in charge was a little surprised, seeing how the two of them came, it didn't look like the eldest lady was scolded by the second lady!
"Where is the nanny in charge?" Shen Qingzi asked aloud when she reached the warehouse.

Nanny Cui immediately came out, saluted Shen Qingzi and the second madam: "I have met the eldest lady, the second madam!"

"Second Aunt, but such a nanny won't let you get the satin?" Shen Qingzi stopped beating around the bush, and said to the second madam in front of Nanny Cui.

Nanny Cui was taken aback, no matter what, the second wife is the master, and the eldest lady is too incompetent to behave like this! "Second Madam, you also know the rules, it's not that the slaves won't bring you satin, but you really have to follow the rules!" Cui Mama said with a bit of aggrieved tone.

"That's right, Nanny Cui, of course you have to follow the rules. It's only because Qingzi left home when she was young and didn't understand anything. The tired Second Aunt lost her face! Second Aunt, it's all because of Qingzi's bad manners. Let it be so.”

"Forget it, let's forget it, Mother Cui, I asked for this half a month ago, you pushed me, did you think my second wife is a vegetarian? Qingzi has only been back for a few days, What can she know." The second lady walked and talked with Shen Qingzi all the way, and Shen Qingzi even held the second lady intentionally or unintentionally, so that the second lady suddenly felt that Shen Qingzi was not at fault at all. Bullied.

Shen Qingzi observed several rooms of the Shen family during the reception banquet. The wife of the second room, Mrs. Nian, was the queen of the general family and had a very hot temper. She always felt that the second room was no worse than the first room, and she was even more so. Being proud of his son, he has some opinions on Dafang.She just did what she liked, and put on the stance of a victim who was deceived by others. This was the second lady who finally spoke for her.

"I said that your ability to bully people has really improved. You don't pay attention to me as the second bedroom. This Qingzi is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, the dignified eldest lady of the Shen family, and you don't pay attention to it." In the eyes. Qingzi, I think, you should tell the old man, go back to the nunnery, there is no place for you in this house!" The second lady said, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

Shen Qingzi lowered her eyebrows, sighed, and said, "Second Aunt, Grandpa loves Qingzi very much, it's Qingzi's blessing, if such a trivial matter bothers Grandpa, I will feel very sorry."

"You girl is soft-hearted, Madam Cui, what are you still doing, you haven't given me the two bolts of satin I want!" The second lady said angrily. "Your second aunt, I can't see people being wronged like this. If such a dog slave dares to bully you in the future, just tell second aunt, and second aunt will help you!"

"Thank you Second Aunt, it's because Qingzi is ignorant and made Second Aunt laugh!" Shen Qingzi said softly.

Mammy Cui saw that the second wife, who had always had a bad temper, had helped the eldest lady, so she naturally did not dare to neglect, but after this incident, she hurriedly reported it to the wife and the second lady!
