When the Laba Festival approached, Shen Ling ordered the store to make more good cakes, and gave some to both the Junwang’s Mansion and the Zhongshunhou Mansion.

Within a few days, the Princess of the County sent two women over there and sent some tangerines to eat. They also said that the pastry Princess of the County that Shen Ling asked to give was very good. Shen Ling listened to what they were saying. About this time, he was here to beg for cakes, so he ordered someone to drive out a batch of newly-made cakes in the store, and then in the afternoon, they sent someone else to deliver them.

The next day, when Shen Ling was in the room looking at the account book in the store, the people below reported that the princess and concubine, who was the aunt, had returned.

The eldest sister of the grandpa, Zhou Yan, was born worse than the Shen family, and she can only be called upright. She wore a golden butterfly and a flower cloud satin gown with a satin embroidered butterfly skirt and a satin embroidered butterfly skirt on her head. With a little cui inlay and big hairpin inserted, it is full of the grandeur of the concubine.

The two aunts met with each other, and Shen Ling asked someone to call the two children over to show her grandmother, and then asked Zhou Yan why the two aunts under Zhou Yan's knee hadn't come.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but raised her head and said, "They are studying in the mansion. The gentleman the prince invited them is very strict, not very sick, and will not let them off easily." There was a strong expression in the words. .

Although she was not a good child, she was better off in her stomach. After five or six years, she added two grandchildren to the princess mansion. For the sake of these two grandchildren, the princess will not allow her son to mess around. With the support of her mother-in-law, Zhou Yan sighed fiercely, and let her concubine attend the day to set the rules, finally suppressing the concubine's arrogance.

Seeing her ruddy face and looking in a good mood, Shen Ling knew that the mess in the mansion was almost resolved, and she flattered her without a trace through her words.

Not long after, Zhou Yuru was hugged by the nurse.

Zhou Yan asked Peizhi, and Shen Ling said that they were studying with her husband now, and it took a long time for them to arrive here. When Zhou Yan heard that her nephew had been enlightened, she couldn't help but think of something, "Speaking of which, the emperor grandson, our two children, and Peizhi are not much different in age. My father-in-law wanted to send the two children to study together. Otherwise, I won’t invite them back in person. I don’t know if you have any intentions in this regard. If so, in the future, whether Haoxuan and Haoyu become the companion of the emperor grandson, they can ask the emperor grandson. Recommend it."

When Zhou Yan mentioned the three words Huang Taisun, Shen Ling couldn't help but reminded Shen Ling of the royal battle. She instinctively declined, "Peizhi is still young and can't see how temperament he is at the moment. I will talk about it when he gets older. Right!"

Zhou Yan said: "If you are worried that the emperor grandson will be arrogant and self-willed, you will speak out your anger with your partner. I heard that the emperor grandson was very courteous to people at a young age, and he was diligent and studious. ."

Although the county palace she married to has no power like the Guogong's mansion, it is a royal clan after all, and the news is naturally much more informed than the Guogong's mansion. These words revealed a lot of information, such as the emperor Taisun's temperament is very good, and he likes to study, his position is still very stable.

Shen Ling was a little tempted by what she said. If the emperor grandson was as good as she said, it would be a good thing to become a companion to the emperor grandson. In the future, the government may be able to have a certain amount of power based on this. However, she herself has such an idea, and others must have such an idea. The National Government is declining, and this is probably not a big hope. Shen Ling gave up after thinking about it.

However, after Zhou Yan left, Shen Ling asked Peizhi about the latest homework, and then raised her husband's repair from two hundred taels to three hundred taels.

The dim sum shop has earned almost a thousand taels of silver in the past few months, and there is no problem in supporting it until the end of the year. So when Shen Ling started, he was not as restrained as before.

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the elder wife of the Zhongshun Hou Mansion asked Shen Ling to go to the Baiyun Temple on the outskirts of the city to offer incense, and begged for a few peaceful charms to come back.

Shen Ling thought that Aunt Lian had been born for seven months, and she was able to ask her for a peaceful talisman to come back, so she left Pearl and Shuang'er, two heavy maids who depended on her, and brought Bao'er and two of them together. Wait for the maid and Yuru and the nanny. The group rode in two carriages, and after meeting with Mrs. Shizi, under the **** of Jiading, they headed toward Baiyun Temple mightily.

When they arrived at Debaiyun Temple, Shen Ling and Mrs. Shizi were incense, and the abbot Master Jing Hui led them to the quiet room.

Master Jinghui offered fragrant tea too. Seeing that the two wives are close friends on the left and right, he laughed and said, "The two wives are both famous and good people. There is something for the poor and nuns who want to ask the ladies for help."

The wife of the world said: "Don't flatter yourself, let's talk about what it is."

Master Jinghui said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. A tenant nearby was seriously ill. The whole family was waiting for him to go to work, so naturally they wanted to buy money and take medicine. But where is his family's strength, it's his family. There are three daughters on it, thinking about selling the biggest one for the medicine money. Not long after his wife told me about this, he waited for your two ladies to come. Both of the houses are the family of benevolence, his family If your daughter can get your two blue eyes, not only will she have money for medicine, but she will also have a life-long support for her. If I want to come, she will be blessed."

After hearing her words, Shen Ling remembered the situation when she wore the first world. She couldn't help but moved her compassion and asked, "How old is his eldest daughter?"

Jinghui said: "It's already thirteen this year. The people are very pretty, and the two ladies will know it when they have seen it."

Mrs. Shizi didn't believe it, but the daughter of the savage family didn't give birth to a little neater, which could not be called pretty. But nothing appeared on her face. Seeing that Shen Ling wanted to help, she said, "Is this tenant renting the land in your nunnery?"

Master Jinghui said too: "Yes. The two wives can rest assured that this tenant has lived in Taohua Village at the foot of this mountain for generations, and his family is very innocent."

After hearing this, Shen Ling said: "If this is the case, then you can show me someone. If you have a good appearance, and you are willing to follow me, I will help."

After waking up from a nap in the afternoon, Master Jinghui had already led the person over.

When Shen Ling saw people, she felt that what Master Jinghui said was too subtle. The girl in front of her was not only very pretty, she had a beautiful and vulgar face, even if she was wearing coarse clothes, she couldn’t hide it. Natural beauty. If it is a few more years, I am afraid that the words "Allure and Allure" will also be worthy of it.

Mrs. Shizi didn't expect the peasant family's home to be so stunning, she couldn't help but stop talking when she looked at Shen Ling. Shen Ling knew what she wanted to say, but she was afraid that the grandfather of the country would spoil his concubine and annihilate his wife in the future when he saw such a stunning appearance.

However, what Shen Ling thought was that if such a stunning woman gave birth to a daughter in the future, her appearance would be pretty good. With the family background of the Guogong Mansion, she would be crowned the first beauty in Beijing with a little training. It should be easy to get a good marriage at that time.

With such thoughts in mind, Shen Ling asked the girl a few questions, and after hearing that the other party was willing to sell her to save her father, she bought the person for fifty taels of silver.

Shen Ling took the girl back to the mansion, and within half a day, everyone in the mansion knew that his wife, Shangxiang, had brought a stunning girl back.

When the Guogong Mansion came to Shangfang, the girl who had been named Hongxiu by Shen Ling changed out of the coarse cloth, wearing a few used clothes, and was serving around Shen Ling. Grandpa Guo was shocked by only one glance, and he didn't even hear what the maids said.

Shen Ling smiled and stood up, "The Lord Guo is here." He ordered Hong Xiu to salute the Lord Guo, and then waved to make everyone retreat.

"What do you think of the maid of Red Embroidery?" Shen Ling asked with a smile.

The grandfather of the country smiled and said, "Madam's vision is naturally good."

Shen Ling said straightforwardly: "After Aunt Lian became pregnant, Aunt Ji was the only one to serve you. I had long wanted to have another concubine for you, but I couldn't find a suitable one. It happened that I was going to be incense today and I met Hong Xiu. This girl. I think it’s pretty good at first glance, but I’m a little young, I’m afraid that opening her face too early is not conducive to reproductive life. Simply put it next to me for a few years, and when it’s older, how about putting her face in the room seriously?"

The grandfather of the country was full of smiles: "Madam's words are reasonable, everything depends on the wife."

Shen Ling sent away the grandfather of the country, and ordered the most stable of the three maids, Shuang'er, to teach the rules of the Red Embroidery Mansion, and ordered that the cost of eating and drinking in Red Embroidery was the same as that of the three Shuang'er and the others.

To be honest, she didn't worry about Hongxiu's escape from her control. She was just an ordinary peasant girl, and she didn't even know a big character. Her only ambition was to hope that life would be better. When Grandpa Guo came in, Shen Ling obviously found that she was tempted by this young male host. Now that she knew what she was thinking, Shen Ling felt that such a person was naturally not enough.

But when Shen Ling thought so, the other two aunts in the house were different. Aunt Lian is better, she is pregnant, and if she gives birth to a son in the future, her status will naturally rise. Aunt Ji is now only a little favored by the grandfather of the country, and she has no children. Once she is old and degenerate, she is bound to be replaced by a newcomer.

So not long after, Shen Ling heard that Aunt Ji gave Han Cui in the room to the grandpa, but it was a pity that Aunt Ji's previous behavior with smoke made Han Cui deeply jealous. So on the face of it, Han Cui was grateful to her, but deep down he didn't want to stand aside with Aunt Ji.

So when Aunt Ji asked her to put eye drops on his wife in front of the grandfather of the country, Han Cui not only failed to do so, but praised her virtuous wife. Knowing that she had become a maidservant, she called her two little maids over.

The grandfather of the country also felt that his wife was very virtuous during this period. At the end of the year, he bought a set of jewelry from his private house and sent it to the house.

Shen Ling looked at the set of gold-inlaid jade flower and grass jewelry, feeling deeply unworthy of the original Shen's. After a while, he kept the jewelry away.

During the New Year, Shen Ling calculated the income of the dim sum shop and earned a total of 1,600 taels of silver. Especially this month approaching the Chinese New Year, the customers were much more generous than usual, many cakes were sold out, and the manpower was severely understaffed.

Later, Shen Ling pulled out two reliable young wives from the house to help, and then barely managed to support it.

With the remaining money in his hand, Shen Ling was also generous once. During the New Year, he not only distributed one month's more monthly bills to the servants in the house, but also set aside money for them to make more clothes.

In addition to the money, there is also a happy event at the Zhongshun Hou Mansion. The third brother of the Shen family finally made a marriage decision. The woman is the eldest daughter of the fourth grade Jingguan family. It is said that she is not only beautiful but also very talented. If it hadn't been for the delay of filial piety, it would not have been picked up by Shen's third brother.

Because the other party was two years older than Shen's third brother, the two exchanged Geng Tie and decided the wedding date in September.

On the second day of the first lunar month, when Shen Ling returned to her mother’s home to pay a New Year’s greeting, Mrs. Hou said that the future three siblings were very capable because they were the eldest daughter. After her mother died, she began to take care of the family business. Now even her mother stays. She takes care of all her dowry shops in one hand, and her youngest son really picked up a treasure.

Shen Ling was listening, and felt that if this younger sibling was as capable as Madam Hou said, she could open a joint venture with her to open a grocery store. The reason why he didn't open a joint venture with Mrs. Shizi was because Mrs. Shizi recognized herself as a scholarly family and did not want to contaminate these shops at all. There is no way to take care of the shops in the dowry and the shops in the mansion, but if she is allowed to take the initiative to open the shops, it is absolutely impossible.
