Chapter 37
The old lady was stunned when Shen Qingyun said this.
How could she forget this moment?
In the past, in order to pretend to be a noble vegetarian and pay homage to Buddha, whenever Han and Shen Qingyun came to Yansongtang for dinner, she ordered the dishes to be reduced.
Mr. Han was generous to others, and he was even more generous to her. He rarely asked about rare supplements and daily expenses, which directly led to the old lady and Shen Sisi's life becoming more and more comfortable.
Now that Shen Qingyun has come out to the public, does she have the nerve to say that she just wants to say that the delicacies of mountains and seas are not the same?
Seeing the old lady defeated, Shen Sisi sobbed and said, "Sister, what's going on with the maid Zicuckoo next to me? Could it be that she was also betrayed because she ate too much?"
"She does eat a lot, and she can even eat the food of the two maids around me." Shen Qingyun said with a look of recognition. Seeing Shen Shensi choked by her words, she suppressed her laughter and then said: "Of course I do." You won't betray a maid just because she eats too much."
"Sister, do you know how many things Zicuckoo has broken just this month? A complete set of blue and white porcelain teapots and cups, a complete set of purple clay pots, teapots and cups, as well as the two flower vases, the beauty vase, and the two large white The porcelain vase and some dishes are worth a total of five hundred and forty-one taels of silver, and selling her five times would not be enough to compensate her!"
"This...Zicuckoo is a little careless and clumsy in doing things. I will discipline her more in the future, but she has served me since she was a child, so her relationship is naturally unusual. I am also used to it. Sister, can you take it for my sake? Will God spare her this time?"
"Sister, you are too soft-hearted. That's why I want to help you deal with your servants." Shen Qingyun's face was full of indignation: "Can this be called carelessness? This is clearly an evil slave bullying the master! Sister, don't blame me for speaking out, my subordinates I know you have good intentions, but blindly indulging them will only make them climb on the master's head!"
After saying that, Shen Qingyun looked at the old lady with a begging look on her face: "Grandma, am I right?"
The old lady nodded: "Sisi, you are too kind. This maid is really not good enough. I will replace you with a new maid recently."
She spent five hundred taels of silver in one month. In the old lady's opinion, it would be better to buy her more jade. Such maids should be beaten to death as a warning to others.
Shen Shensi's face was twisted with anger.
On the surface, she is said to be soft-hearted and kind-hearted, but in reality, it is because she is not strict with her subordinates, which is why the maids around her are so bold.
However, of her two eldest maids, the Han family had already sold one because of Shen Qingyun. Now, Shen Qingyun has sold the other one, leaving only the red jade that was stuffed in, and there is still a future and Her desire to compete for favor will make her lose even a confidant in the future!
Shen Qingyun is too bullying!
"Sister, I..."
"Sister Sisi, don't worry. I know that you have a deep relationship with the Zicuckoo. I have taken care of the relationship and will put the Zicuckoo in a good place. She won't suffer. This also satisfies your relationship as master and servant. As for this evil person, I will be responsible for it."
Seeing Shen Qingyun's look of thinking about herself, Shen Shensi gritted her teeth and said from between her teeth: "Then I really have to thank my sister."
"Hey, no thanks, no thanks!"
...
In this way, the old lady and Shen Sisi lived a life of dire straits, but they had unspeakable hardships.
In fact, Shen Qingyun's food standard is not low. Many officials in Kyoto may not eat as finely as the Duke's Palace, but they are used to living a luxurious life. Now that it has returned to normal, the two of them still can't stand it.
Shen Zhifeng also belatedly realized something was wrong.
In the past, the pens, inks, papers and inkstones used in his study were all valuable items, and the meals he ate were all dazzling. He also purchased many poetry books every month to demonstrate his knowledge, but now he is restricted everywhere.
When I asked the steward, he looked at Shen Zhifeng's dark face with trembling eyes. He hesitated for a while and then whispered: "The second lady sorted out the income of the Duke's Mansion, because the harvest of Zhuangzi shop is still... The salary of Duke Youguo... is not enough to cover expenses, so the expenses in the mansion have been reduced."
When Shen Zhifeng heard this, he was so angry that he immediately kicked the table next to him: "What a Shen Qingyun!"
What does this mean? Do you dislike his salary being too small?
"My lord, my lord, the second lady said that each room should not add or replace more than three decorations per month." The steward looked at the broken table legs and couldn't help but remind him. He had just said that and didn't dare to look at it anymore. Shen Zhifeng's eyes were terrifying, fearing that he would be the next one to be kicked to death.
Shen Zhifeng's eyes widened and he wanted to smash the inkstone on the desk again, but he lowered his raised hand in vain.
This inkstone is the best Duan inkstone in the Han family's trousseau. If it breaks, Shen Qingyun will definitely not replace it with a better one.
He couldn't bear it.
"Get out! Get out!" Shen Zhifeng shouted helplessly and furiously!
"Yes, yes." The steward was relieved and hurried away.
As soon as the steward left, Shen Zhifeng paced around the room like a headless fly, sweating from anger. He wanted to smash things in the room but was in the way. In the end, he just overturned a pot of flowers and went to Yansong Hall to find the old man. The people discussed it.
He is the head of the family, but he lives in such a miserable state in his own house. This is too much!
We can't let this go any longer!
So Shen Zhifeng and the old lady thought deeply for a long time in Yansong Hall, and decided to let Shen Qingyun suffer!
.......
Shen Qingyun, who was about to be plotted against, had been very comfortable these days.
She was half lying on the beauty's couch, calculating the accounts and eating cut fruits and vegetables, and she felt much better.
Although dowry subsidies are still needed, once all aspects are reduced, it is really a big sum!
Yi Cui was gently shaking her fan for Shen Qingyun. She looked at the young lady and felt that the young lady was getting more and more beautiful. Her eyebrows were as thin and curved as willows, her eyes were as faint as autumn water, her skin was delicate and white, her expression was lazy but noble, straight It's so hard to take one's eyes away.
However, she didn't understand why the young lady would go against other masters like this.
If he knew what she was thinking, Shen Qingyun would probably smile bitterly.
She and her mother are just fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. No matter how well-behaved and docile she is, what can she do? She will only be exploited by this man-eating government.
The experience in her previous life has already told her that it is useless to listen to others, but it is useful to let others listen to her!
But the silence was broken by Pearl running in.
