After Shen Wan's hair was tied up, a group of imperial doctors also walked into the room to check Xie Yujin's pulse as usual.
Aunt Song had a grudge against Shen Wan, but she knew that unlike the Shen family, the Xie family was afraid of doing many things, so she could only find an opportunity to talk to Shen Wan alone.
"Young madam, it's time to serve tea to the Duke and his wife." Mother Song reminded.
Shen Wan stood up and walked to the bed and said to Xie Yujin: "Husband, please don't accompany me anymore. Stay in the room and have a good rest. I will come back to accompany you later."
"Okay." Xie Yujin raised her eyes slightly, her voice weak.
Shen Wan secretly gave him a thumbs up, acting well.
Main courtyard.
Zhou walked into the courtyard and said to Duke Zhen Guo: "Husband, don't wait any longer. I asked her to go back and rest."
Duke Zhen Guo put down the tea, then touched the stack of red envelopes he had prepared: "Then I have nowhere to send this red envelope."
"What are you thinking about?" Zhou took the red envelope from his hand.
The steward's voice came from outside the door: "Master, madam, the young madam is here."
When Zhou heard this, she immediately sat down next to Duke Zhen Guo, and then stuffed the red envelope in her hand back to Duke Zhen Guo: "I'll give it to Wan Wan later."
"I understand." The Zhen Guogong's annual expenses are not as much as the daughter-in-law's red envelope for tea.
Soon, Shen Wan walked into the main courtyard and served tea to Duke Zhen and Zhou.
Aunt Song stood aside, staring at the red envelope that Lord Zhen Guo gave to Shen Wan, but did not take it seriously.
When it was her turn to serve tea to Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou took out two large bunches of keys and a red envelope from her clothes and handed them to Shen Wan.
Grandma Song's eyes widened.
The Duke of Zhen Guo fought many victorious battles in recent years, and the emperor rewarded him with thousands of taels every time. The Zhou family used the money to open a shop and do business, and accumulated a rich family fortune.
Everyone in the capital knew that the Zhou family had no worries about food and drink, but no one knew which shop was under the name of their town government.
Now that Mr. Zhou had taken out two large bunches of keys, it could be said that he had revealed his family background. I'm afraid it was more than that.
"Wan'er, your father-in-law promised your mother that as soon as you come through the door, we will hand over all the shops in the house to you. These are all shops in the capital, selling rouge, gouache, clothes and brocade. , restaurants, etc., but these shops are managed by stewards on weekdays, so you don’t need to show up, you only need to go to the shop on the first day of every month to collect the bills.”
Nanny Song pricked up her ears to listen, but her heart was beating fast.
These shops are all in the hands of the eldest lady. Doesn’t it mean that the eldest lady holds the financial line of the Zhenguo Palace?
Why worry about the second lady’s dowry?
She had to report this to Madam quickly.
Mrs. Zhou didn't know that someone was thinking about their Xie family's shop, so she handed the key to Shen Wan.
Shen Wan took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, mom and dad, for trusting me. I will definitely run the Xie family's business well."
The Xie family was too rich and had many soldiers, which led to the accelerated destruction of the family.
This money must be transferred from the bright side to the dark side to prepare for the fallout.
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Zhou helped Shen Wan up from the ground and said with red eyes: "It's our Aci who can marry such a good wife like you. It's our Aci who has wronged you. Ci’s body…”
She patted the back of Shen Wan's hand and her voice became choked with sobs: "I'll have to ask you to take more care of him from now on. Don't worry, if A Ci does anything bad to him, our Xie family will do everything we can to compensate you."
"Madam." Zhen Guogong's eyelids twitched twice.
This drama is too much.
"Alas." Duke Zhen Guo sighed: "Shen Wan, I have indeed wronged you. Madam, please don't say those depressing words on this happy day."
Aunt Song watched expressionlessly as Zhen Guogong and his wife were worried about their son.
Shen Wan was infected by the two people's emotions, and the ends of her eyes were stained with a blush, and she said: "Mom and Dad, my husband has woken up, and things will get better."
Mrs. Zhou picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Tea has been served. You should go back and rest early. I will talk to you slowly about the business of being in charge of the house. Don't be too tired first."
"Yes, yes." Lord Zhenguo also lowered his head to wipe his tears and echoed.
Shen Wan felt blessed and said, "My wife will go back to Miao Xuan Pavilion first."
"Go, good boy." Mrs. Zhou and Duke Zhenguo watched Shen Wan leave.
When Sister Song disappeared into the courtyard with Shen Yuan, Mrs. Zhou quickly threw away the handkerchief and took out another handkerchief to wipe her eyes hard.
The Duke of Zhen was puzzled: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
"That handkerchief is smeared with chili powder. Otherwise, I can perform so well. Oh, it's killing me. Wash my eyes quickly." Mrs. Zhou reached out and tugged at Zhen Guogong's clothes.
Duke Zhenguo laughed angrily.
He took the handkerchief in her hand, dipped it in tea water and wiped Zhou's tears.
After Ms. Zhou opened her eyes, she stood up and said, "I have to prepare a homecoming ceremony for Wan'er. You go ahead."
"All right."
…
The sound of jingling keys echoed in the ears of Nanny Song. After coming out of the main courtyard, Nanny Song had been absent-minded.
Shen Wan glanced sideways at Nanny Song who was following closely behind her, and walked into Miao Xuan Pavilion without saying a word to her.
The house manager next to Zhou sent account books and cards.
Shen Wan stroked the all-too-familiar account book and was slightly absent-minded.
In her previous life, she had torn through the Xie family's account books and memorized every account in her mind. She knew without even looking at it how Zhou made a lot of money when she was the housekeeper. Fortunately, Zhou had the ability to make money. Only by being strong can one not be defeated.
She remembered that on the homecoming day of the Three Dynasties, Zhou prepared ten boxes of homecoming gifts for her.
There were all valuable medicinal materials, clothes, cloth and silver in there.
I was given two boxes of money alone, which is really rich.
In her previous life, Shen Wan thought that the Xie Mansion was interested in her, so she let the Zhou family arrange her homecoming ceremony. Now it seems that it was just her vanity at that time.
The house steward said: "Madam said that on the day when the three dynasties return home, the young lady has prepared a homecoming gift. The young lady can open the account book and take a look."
Nanny Song happened to walk into Miao Xuan Pavilion's accounting room with a bowl of blood bird's nest.
After Shen Wan asked Nanny Song to put down the blood bird's nest, she asked Nanny Song to go to the kitchen to get some snacks for her.
As soon as Aunt Song left, Shen Wan spoke to the house steward and said, "Fang Steward, I will write you a list. When you get back, tell my mother-in-law and ask her to prepare the home gift according to the number on the list."
The house manager was stunned for a moment: "Young madam, why don't you first see what kind of welcome gifts the madam has prepared for you?"
Shen Wan opened the account book briefly, and suddenly found the account that had just been recorded. The gift list on it was various, and just one Ganoderma lucidum cost 5,000 taels.
This Ganoderma lucidum finally went into Mrs. Shen's mouth. One was not enough, so she asked for two more.
She didn't want to take advantage of these greedy people anymore.
"After reading it, just follow my list to prepare the home gift."
She wrote down the gift list and handed it to the room manager.
When the room manager took the order, his hands shook.
The homecoming gifts that the young lady asks for are all related to food, including apples, oranges, chickens, ducks and geese, snacks, wine, local specialties, and tea, and prepare a few red envelopes.
It's true that etiquette is more important than friendship. The young lady is so good at saving money.
