Chapter 11 Repaying the Right, So It Was for Money
Because the Song family had dinner, the whole family wanted to go to Liu's courtyard to eat together. So Shen Wan went to Liu's courtyard when it was almost time for dinner.
Sometimes during dinner, Lin Qingxue was particularly attentive to Shen Wan. She kept picking up food for Shen Wan and asking if the food was to her liking. She acted like the matron of the Song family.
The two children, when they saw Shen Wan, sometimes called her "Mother" and then never spoke to Shen Wan again.
After dinner, the family sat in the small flower hall and chatted together.
Song Heng also asked if Song Ziling had schoolwork.
"That's right." Sitting with Song Ziyu chatting and joking, Lin Qingxue suddenly remembered something and looked at Shen Wan and said, "My sister had been in a coma earlier, so my mother and Fufu asked me to take charge of the family. But, in the end, I , When I was young, I was not as good as my elder sister in doing things. Now that my elder sister has woken up, the power of being in charge of the family has been returned to her."
Shen Wan raised her eyelids. Is there any woman in the back house who likes to be in charge of the central government? Why does Lin Qingxue still want to hand it over? And she is saying that she is taking retreat as a way to advance?
Song Ziyu warmly held Lin Qingxue's hand and said sweetly, "Second mother is really self-effacing. Ever since Er mother took charge of the family, our food and clothing expenses have been many times better than before!"
She doesn't want her mother to be in charge of the house, she doesn't want to spend another six months without being able to make new clothes for her whole life, and she wants to eat well and have to wait for the holidays.
Mrs. Liu also deeply agrees that after Qingxue became the head of the family, the food and clothing costs were much better than before. She, an old woman, also ate a lot of good things that she had never eaten before.
Shen Wan said, "I am not in good health and I have amnesia. Many people don't remember many things. Since you are in charge of the house very well, please continue to run it!"
She has no interest in running a house and worrying about trivial matters.
Hearing this, Song Heng glanced at Shen Wan and saw that she was sick, thin and not energetic, so he said to Lin Qingxue, "Wan'er's health is not good because of this family, so please continue to take care of her!"
"Since this is the case, Qingxue is more respectful than to obey. However, my sister has no energy to run the family. If the father has money, please give it to my sister as well. Otherwise, even if I do, it will be difficult for that clever woman to make a living without straw." ." Lin Qingxue said yes while looking at Shen Wan with a smile.
Although she took charge of the house, she only received her husband's monthly salary. She also raised the monthly salary of her mother-in-law and Ziyu, which increased the wages of the servants, which improved the master and servants of the house. The one hundred and twenty taels of silver were simply not enough to provide food and clothing. She had already paid out more than a hundred taels herself, and this did not include the silver she had to make clothes for Ziyu and Ziling and buy jewelry.
The reason why she said she wanted to return the power of running the family to Shen Wan was because she wanted her to hand over all the money she had. Because she also knew that even if she wanted to give the power of running the family to Shen Wan, it was Given Shen Wan's current situation, she cannot take charge of the family.
Shen Wan suddenly realized that it was Lin Qingxue who had this talent.
"Where is the money in the palace?" Shen Wan pretended not to know, but turned her head and looked at Qiu Ju standing behind her. She still has amnesia, as is natural for some people, and doesn't know anything. This girl is very loyal to her original owner. There shouldn't be any chance that the original owner's hard-earned money will fall into the hands of others.
Qiu Ju walked to her side and pursed her lips and whispered, "How can you get any money from me in the palace? The general has a monthly salary, but you still have to pay for it, madam. You have to plan carefully to barely cover the expenses of the palace. There is nothing left." On the contrary, Madam herself has a monthly routine and the rest is estimated to be twenty taels."
It was natural for Qiu Ju to be Shen Wan's personal maid. She knew that she had a master and saved some money. Although it was not much, it was only a hundred taels. However, the master saved the money through careful calculation and frugality. Yes. She didn't want the money to be handed over to Lin Qingxue for nothing, so she lied.
"How about I ask Qiu Ju to send you the twenty taels of silver when I get back later?" Shen Wan said looking at Lin Qingxue with a sincere face.
Lin Qingxue couldn't help but shook her head and said with a smile, "No, since my sister has a monthly routine, I can keep the flowers for myself! But, I don't know what my sister can do on weekdays. Account?" She couldn't believe that such a large government-controlled general's residence had no money at all.
"How does Wan'er do the accounting if she can't read?" Song Heng said with an expressionless face, "It's normal that the government does not have any other income. All expenses depend on my salary and the government does not have money."
Song Hengdu said this, so Lin Qingxue had no choice but to give up. She had the intention but she was bleeding. If she only relied on the one hundred and twenty taels of silver every month, she didn't know how much food and clothing the General's Mansion had now. How much money do you need to put in?
Mrs. Liu was getting older and she started to feel sleepy after sitting for a while, so Shen Wan and others got up and left.
After leaving Liu's courtyard, Song Ziyu and Song Ziling left first.
When Lin Qingxue saw that Song Heng didn't indicate where he would rest tonight, she felt a little shy and said to him, "My husband, I ordered you to prepare a bath and have hot water."
The subtext is, you can sleep with me tonight!
When Shen Wan heard this, she clicked her tongue twice in her heart, then raised her feet and headed in the direction of Qiushi Courtyard.
"I'm resting in Qiushi Courtyard tonight." After Song Heng finished speaking, he quickly walked four or five steps to catch up with Shen Wan without even looking at Lin Qingxue.
Lin Qingxue looked at the three people leaving and almost broke a silver tooth. What is so good about that ugly, old country woman? Her husband actually rested in her courtyard and not in his own courtyard. !
It was late at night, and after taking a bath, Shen Wan was lying on the inside of the couch wearing a white tunic. There was a cubicle for bathing, and the sound of water could be heard from time to time.
Although Song Zhutizi wanted to sleep with her tonight, she was not worried at all. If Song Heng was still interested in having a body like this, she would respect him and he would not choose what to eat. But she still , she should be a little worried because she is not used to sleeping with strangers. Of course, it is not just that she is not used to it, but no one should be used to it.
If Song Hengruo didn't sleep with Jiao Didi and there was a little beauty around, he would sleep with him instead. His brain was so messed up that he was afraid that others would say he was a heartless person. The new person forgot the old person.
