Silence is the best answer.
Jiang Shu felt cold in his heart, and the corners of his lips curved into a sarcastic arc.
When Shen Changze saw it, he looked a little confused and couldn't help but feel annoyed.
He is her husband and her God. Even if there was something wrong with him, she shouldn't be so blatantly contemptuous.
Shen Changze felt that Jiang Shu was good at everything, but he didn't know how to be a husband and wife, and he didn't understand the style.
Forget it, now that she is no longer in charge of the Hou Mansion, there is no need for her to get angry with him.
After thinking about it, Jiang Shu calmed down and said seriously: "In my opinion, we should treat the previous village managers with kindness and power, and divide them into different parts."
When it came to business matters, Shen Changze suppressed his emotions and considered and discussed seriously.
"I haven't thought of the specific method yet. The Marquis is very resourceful and must be smarter than me, a housewife."
Shen Changze was speechless.
After sitting here for a long time, Jiang Shu felt a little sore in his waist, so he stood up and walked towards the soft couch.
When Shen Changze saw her lying down, he suddenly said, "If you rest more, I won't disturb you anymore."
There is nothing we can discuss now, so it is better to deal with the personnel issues in the mansion first.
"Master Hou, let's go slowly." Jiang Shu waved his hand without any hesitation.
When Shen Changze walked out of the house, the rain had passed and the sky was clear, but he felt gloomy and unclear in his heart.
Jiang Shu's sarcasm was so dazzling that it pierced his heart like a sharp thorn.
Shen Changze first went to Tinglan Courtyard, and then went to Shouyong Hall with Shen's mother.
After hearing what he said, Mrs. Shen's face wrinkled and she fell into deep thought.
"Does it have to be this way?"
After half a lifetime of leisure in the Hou Mansion, who would want to go to the village to endure hardships.
No matter how you look at it, this is a chore.
"My grandsons are all planning for the prosperity of the Hou Mansion. Such a strategy of killing two birds with one stone can not only save money, but also increase revenue." Shen Changze bowed his hands, looking like he had good intentions and had no choice but to do it.
In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with a servant being used by his master.
Mrs. Shen sighed helplessly. She could still tell the difference between the Hou family and the servants.
After all, she was once the mistress of the Hou Mansion, and Mrs. Shen was very good at handling affairs in the house with Shen's mother.
After a while, the three of them came to an agreement and summoned a few selected people to negotiate with them.
As Jiang Shu expected, although they were reluctant to go to the village, they were not dissatisfied despite the kindness and power.
"Don't worry, the Marquis Mansion will not forget your contribution and will take good care of your family. Even when you are old in the future, I will let you live a prosperous life and I will not treat you unfairly."
Mrs. Shen Xiaozhi moved by emotion and reason, and after some persuasion from her, several people nodded.
Shen Changze breathed a long sigh of relief, and when he was about to explain the specific matters, a servant came in a hurry.
"Master Marquis, old lady, madam, there is a letter from the young lady!"
Mother Shen was very excited and said with surprise and joy: "Give me the letter quickly."
Mrs. Shen waved her hand and asked a few people to go back and take over the affairs in hand.
It cleared up after the rain, and Jiang Shu lay comfortably on the soft couch and watched the rainbow in the sky.
"Madam, the old lady asks you to come over." Tan Yu entered the room to report.
Jiang Shu was stunned: "Can you tell me what it is?"
Tan Yu shook his head: "My servant asked and said that there is something important. Madam, please come over immediately."
The palace of the Hou Mansion is deserted and the population is simple. What can be important?
With doubts, Jiang Shu went to Shouyong Hall.
The three of them, Shen Changze, gathered together, chatting and laughing with cheerful faces.
Seeing Jiang Shu enter the house, Shen's mother happily waved and said: "Shu'er, come here quickly and sit here with me."
Jiang Shu Yiyan went over and sat down. Seeing that the three of them were all happy, she asked suspiciously, "I wonder what grandma called me here for?"
"Qingrong has brought my uncle back to visit her, and they will arrive in about half a month." Mrs. Shen said with a smile on her face, feeling happy from the bottom of her heart.
Shen's mother also smiled happily and said, "Qingrong's visit to the family this time is considered a return home, but it is a big event."
Four years ago, Shen Qingrong married in Pingyang and left Beijing for several years without returning. This time I traveled thousands of miles back to Beijing to visit relatives, and I must have received the news of Shen Changze's return.
"Huaqing Courtyard has been vacant for many years, and many things are old and damaged. We must seize the time to replace them."
"We have to hurry up on this matter. Qingrong is taking Xingyuan with him. Xingyuan is only two years old. He is a delicate child at a young age. We must not be careless about food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Lu Xingyuan is the son of Shen Qingrong and Lu Mingke, and the eldest grandson of Pingyang County Governor.
Although he is not a prince or grandson, he is still a young master who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Gold is very precious.
Mrs. Shen and Mother Shen were talking to each other, planning how to welcome Shen Qingrong's family of three.
"They say a sister-in-law is like a mother, Shu'er, you are worthy of your affection." Mother Shen suddenly held Jiang Shu's hand and said.
Jiang Shu recovered from his daze and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, I will prepare a meeting gift for Xingyuan."
Mother Shen choked and said with a frown: "There have been a lot of things happening in the house recently, and I have been so entangled that I can't get away. You have to help mother share the burden of renovating Huaqing Courtyard and the homecoming banquet."
How to share the burden? Is it the kind of effort and money?
A faint sarcastic smile appeared on Jiang Shu's lips.
In the past, she regarded the Marquis Mansion as a home where honor and disgrace were shared, so she never cared about it, and she didn't feel any pain when spending money.
But now, everything is different.
Jiang Shu looked at Shen Changze across from him and said slowly: "The Marquis asked me to assist in the affairs of the farm. The two things collided. I am really incapable of doing anything and I am powerless."
Originally, she wanted to find an excuse to avoid going to the farm with Shen Changze. But now it seems that I can only choose one of the two.
Jiang Shu was helpless. It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with the money, but she just didn't want to be taken advantage of again.
When Shen Qingrong got married, she believed in the words "A sister-in-law is like a mother" and bought Shen Qingrong a generous dowry.
But when Shen Qingrong got married, she said that she hated her.
She was displeased with the money and resented her. She would not do this kind of stupid thing again.
However, Mrs. Shen and Mother Shen did not want to let go of Jiang Shu's money tree.
"Nagaze, can you please slow down the matter at the farm until Qingrong comes back?" Mrs. Shen said.
"Qingrong is your only sister, nothing can be more important than her." Mother Shen sang in harmony.
Shen Changze hesitated for a moment and was about to agree.
"It's July now, and autumn sowing is about to begin. If we don't plow the fields quickly for sowing, I'm afraid next year's harvest will be delayed."
Jiang Shu spoke slowly, reminding Shen Changze of the importance.
As a man, Shen Changze naturally cares more about his achievements and is not as short-sighted as a woman.
After being reminded by Jiang Shu, Shen Changze said decisively: "The matters at the farm are urgent. Mother, please pay more attention to the matters in the mansion."
When Mother Shen heard this, she was so angry that she almost lost her breath.
It’s true that you don’t know how to spend money like running water. If you renovate Huaqing Courtyard inside and out, it will cost you thousands of taels of silver at least.
Mrs. Shen also hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, but she couldn't express it clearly, so she could only sulk.
A woman's calculations should never be put on the table. Shen Changze is a man, so it's not easy to tell him directly.
Seeing that Mrs. Shen and Mother Shen were so annoyed that they seemed to have a heart attack, Jiang Shu said in a leisurely voice: "I heard that Pingyang County is very wealthy. I think that when I come to visit relatives this time, my uncle will definitely bring a lot of gifts, and my mother will have to clean up the warehouse and put them away."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen's dim old eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on Mother Shen's face.
How could they forget this!
