Early the next morning, when Shen Tianshu came over to say hello, he found that Mrs. Shen looked at him very strangely.
This look... seems to be a little too loving.
It was even more explicit and disgusting than when I met Mr. Chen Fengjun at Dongquan Temple a few days ago.
Shen Tianshu's back felt a little cold when she saw him, and he couldn't help but move his body.
Mrs. Xu had no idea that she had no secrets left in front of Mrs. Shen, and was still chattering about her family's arrangements for Chinese Valentine's Day and July Half.
Old Mrs. Shen did not interrupt her, and listened patiently to what she said, and then suddenly said: "This time, let's leave it to Tianshu to do the errands for Chinese Valentine's Day and July Half, and you and I will watch over and take care of things." That's right. Tianshu is not young anymore, he should learn to do these errands. "
Mrs. Xu was stunned when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Mom, why not, just let Tianshu follow me and learn how to do it this time. Let her start directly from the beginning, I am afraid something will go wrong."
Old Mrs. Shen glanced at her and said, "When you first married into the Shen family, didn't you know how to do anything and make fewer mistakes? Besides, don't you and I still have to watch this together?"
"It's just like a child learning to walk. You can't keep supporting her to prevent her from walking because you're afraid she'll fall. If she falls, you'll remember it more deeply!
"Besides, Tianshu has been smart since she was a child. I think she can definitely do well."
Mrs. Shen has already talked about this, what else can Mrs. Xu say?
She could only laugh along and said: "The old lady is right, I am too careful and dare not let go of the children."
Mrs. Shen was competing with Mr. Xu, which made Shen Tianshu and Shen Yunhui unable to sit still.
Fortunately, soon, Chunlan quietly signaled to Shen Tianshu and Shen Yunhui to get up and leave the room with the maid.
Mrs. Xu had been scolded by Mrs. Shen all the time and was completely unaware of all this.
"Tian Shu is the eldest daughter of the Shen family. She will marry into a wealthy family and become the head of a household. Naturally, she must learn these things.
"If Tianshu marries well and does well in her husband's family, it will not only be good for herself, but also give face to Shen's parents, give you face, and it will also be very good for the next few sisters to marry you!
"You know, Tianshu has grown up under your guidance since she was a child. If she doesn't do well after she gets married, people will not only laugh at her, but they will also say that you are incompetent and can't teach children well.
"If such a reputation spreads, will it do you any good? You have a daughter yourself, so don't be so short-sighted!"
Mrs. Xu was deceived by Mrs. Shen's harsh words, and she felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.
"What the old lady said really wronged my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law just..."
"Okay, you don't need to explain. It's my fault too. I was too hasty when I chose Zhong Lei's successor."
If the words just now were just a slap in Xu's face, these words were simply a stab in the heart.
Although Xu married into the Shen family at that time and was indeed a bit high in family status, the gap could not be said to be huge.
At that time, no one in the Shen family was an official in the court, and no one knew whether Shen Zhonglei could pass the exam.
Although the Xu family is a small family, counting up a little, there have been scholars and officials within three generations.
And as the saying goes, raise your head to marry a girl, bow your head to marry a wife.
Shen Zhonglei was just a white man at that time, his wife had died and he still had a child with him. Mrs. Xu was a young and yellow-flowered girl, so there was no telling who was not worthy of her!
Now that Mrs. Shen has seen Shen Zhonglei becoming an official and becoming capable, she has begun to despise her family background. Isn't this a bit too much?
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but said: "Mom, I have accompanied the master all the way from the white body to the present. There should be hard work without credit. Now in front of the children, it is a bit inappropriate for the mother to say this!"
After she finished speaking, she felt that the room was very quiet, and then she suddenly felt something was wrong. She turned around and looked back, only to find that everyone else had left at some point.
Now only Mrs. Shen and her people were left in the house, as well as Hanqiao who had followed her.
Xu had a vague premonition, but for a moment she didn't know what the problem was.
I just heard Old Mrs. Shen say from above: "I think you not only feel that you have worked hard, but also feel that you have made great achievements! Otherwise, you have only been in Yongzhou Prefecture for a few years, and you would dare to do so many bold things. !”
As Mrs. Shen said this, she took out a stack of paper from somewhere and smashed it into Mrs. Xu's face.
Xu was stunned. It took him a long time to remember what was written on the paper.
She casually grabbed a page that fell on her lap, glanced at it, and her expression suddenly changed.
How could Mrs. Shen know these things?
"Mother, please listen to my explanation..."
Mrs. Xu wanted to put on a desperate struggle, but Mrs. Shen did not intend to give her this chance and said directly: "Someone, bring up all the ledgers."
Several boxes were carried into the house and placed in front of Mrs. Xu.
She didn't need to look carefully to know that this was the camphor wood box used to store the account books at home.
She had already asked someone to find a way to smooth out the accounts from previous years, so there shouldn't be any problems found.
However, there are several accounts in the past year that are difficult to completely smooth out. Now they are simply disguised. As long as you look closely, the secrets will definitely be exposed.
Mrs. Xu was sweating profusely. The accountant had been replaced by her own people tomorrow morning. Why was there no one to inform her of the old lady's move?
How did she know that Mrs. Shen didn't check her account at all, and the information actually came from another source.
Old Mrs. Shen stood up and walked to the box, opened one at random, picked up an account book, and shook it in her hand.
"Do you think that now that Zhong Lei has become an official and has become capable? You have finally made it through and can go out with him without having to be oppressed by me all the time. Now you don't know what the world is like or what your surname is." Bar?"
"Oh, I made a mistake, you know your last name too well!" Mrs. Shen said, and slapped the account book in her hand directly on Mr. Xu's face, "Xu Yurou, Xu Yurou, I really looked down on you back home. At the same time, you asked for money from me, while you used Zhong Lei’s status as the prefect to make money, and finally used the money to support your parents’ family. You are so capable!"
"Mother, I..." Mrs. Xu was beaten so hard that her cheek hurt, but she couldn't utter a single word of excuse.
"I am living with my family in my hometown, guarding the countless ancestral property, and the whole family tightens their belts to provide for you. What do I want? I just want Zhonglei to have enough food and clothing, to serve the court well, and not to be a petty person. Xiaoli ruined his future!
"But what about you, what are you doing? You want to destroy my son!"
The more Mrs. Shen spoke, the more excited she became, and her voice became louder and louder.
After finishing speaking in one breath, the room was so quiet that only her slightly heavy breathing could be heard.
And just when Xu was organizing her words to explain something to herself, a loud sob suddenly came from outside the window...
