84.Chapter 84 Get off the horse——beat up the old slave who entered the house 【03】
Suxue directed all the servants to clean the courtyard of the house, renovate it, and then move in all the furniture and ornaments that Shen Mingzhu asked for from the Shen family before she left.
Because the furniture is not made according to the structure of the room, there are a few things that are not suitable. Fortunately, the bed is just right, and a dressing table can be placed.
The main house has three wing rooms, one with light and two with darkness. There is also a row of back rooms for the mother-in-law's servant girls, and the other is used as a warehouse.
There is no south room and east and west rooms, so it seems a bit cramped.
However, according to the regulations, except for the wet nurse, married wives and mothers-in-law must live outside, at least not in the young lady's yard.
But Shen Mingzhu still doesn't want to pay attention to this rule.
It was getting late, so Suxue asked people to go to the kitchen to prepare rice and hot water for the lady.
As the sun sets, the courtyard is cast into a dark shadow, dim and lifeless.
Shen Mingtang felt very guilty for letting his sister come back, but she didn't have a good life either.
Shen Mingzhu pulled him and walked in the yard, "Brother, here you can buy a big pot of osmanthus and a big vat of hibiscus. Then you will also need camellias and narcissus to put in the house. In addition, the yard can be used next year.
Plant some oleanders, crabapples, etc., and it will look beautiful soon."
As she spoke, she ordered Zhang Huai to take people to the flower market to buy flowers and birds and come back to decorate the yard.
Suxue was a little afraid that Madam would not like her if she was too ostentatious. After all, Madam Liu is now in charge, and she is the old Madam's niece.
Shen Mingzhu sneered and said disdainfully: "Do I care about her? If she pretends to be kind, then I can get along with her on the surface. If she quarrels with her, I will never be afraid of her. I am a legitimate daughter, what should I do with my grandson?
As scared as you are, just do as I say."
The only one she has to conquer is Shen Can. Shen Can is now the head of the family.
Anyone who wants to play any strategy must look at the face of his superiors. The palace fight is about who can please the emperor, while the house fight is about who can please the head of the family.
If it is an old lady or old man who is fair and wise, then it will be them, but if not, then it will be the man in the family.
Shen Can is the prime minister, so he is naturally a well-deserved head of the family, much better than Mrs. Liu who came from a humble background.
Shen Mingzhu just wants to deal with Shen Can, but Shen Mingzhu doesn't want to use any flattering method, because the more you try to please that scumbag father, it will only be counterproductive.
What she wants is not to please, but to use.
When Suxue saw what she said, she stopped saying anything and just tried her best to do it.
Soon, the girl who went to the kitchen came back and she was so angry that she looked bad.
She said angrily: "The wives in the kitchen refused to cook for us, saying that the old lady wouldn't start the fire unless she was in the big kitchen."
Cuizhuyuan is so small that there is no kitchen on the ground floor.
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said: "What's the problem? After you take the money, just go out and buy vegetables, meat, chicken and duck. If they don't make it, you can make it. There are so many ready-made things in the kitchen, what's the trouble? If anyone wants to
If you dare to stop you, just follow the instructions of the eldest lady. If you want to starve us, then give us a taste of our sticks. You can just beat us, tie them up and throw them in the stable without food or drink. Then wait for the lady to come back and punish you."
The girl went away happily after hearing this, and took two women with her, asking those girls to hold sticks, so as not to cause any harm to anyone in the conflict.
