Mrs. Yan was asked a question by Shen Tianshu. Due to the situation, she had to agree first.
But I heard Shen Tianshu say: "Mother Yang, take a few people with you and go with Madam Yan. We haven't found her for so long. It must be very difficult to find her. One more person will help us a lot!"
Mrs. Yan originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get the account books and quickly go to Mrs. Xu for advice.
Even if I can't see Mrs. Xu, I can at least tell Hanqiao and I've been informed.
Who knew that Shen Tianshu would ask Nanny Yang to go with her.
At that time, Mrs. Yan saw that Shen Tianshu was rich and easy to fool, so she wanted to get her girl to work as a maid in Shuangtang Courtyard. Unexpectedly, Grandma Yang found out and sent her away directly.
Mrs. Yan felt that she had lost face, so she harbored a grudge against Aunt Yang. Later, she relied on Mrs. Xu's trust to run against people who made things difficult for Shuangtangyuan.
Who knew that the tide would turn, and one day I would fall into the hands of Grandma Yang.
Several other stewards saw that Nanny Yang brought a few rough maids and surrounded Madam Yan to get the account books, and they became more and more afraid to make a mistake in front of Shen Tianshu.
Without waiting for Shen Tianshu to ask, each one of them explained clearly and clearly all the things in their charge.
Shen Tianshu was very satisfied with the effect, nodded with a smile and said, "It's really hard for everyone today. I'm the housekeeper these days, so you all need to give me more help and advice."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mingyu came out with a tray containing several exquisitely embroidered purses.
"Our girl prepared this for the stewards. Let's take it for tea!"
Several stewards accepted the red envelope with satisfaction, saluted and thanked Shen Tianshu, and then left Shuangtang Courtyard.
"There must be at least five taels of silver in this purse, right?"
"Five taels! You can't be wrong. My hand is more accurate than Zhuzi's!"
"And this purse, the material is good and the embroidery is exquisite. It can be sold for five hundred yuan at least."
"The family is well off, so it's really different."
"Okay, stop talking. If anyone hears it and it reaches Madam's ears, all of us will have to walk around without food."
As soon as these words came out, the several stewards immediately fell silent and simply went their separate ways, each going back to his own territory.
In Shuangtang Courtyard, Ping Niang looked at Shen Tianshu with admiration and said, "No wonder I asked the eldest daughter to take care of the common affairs. She is really much smarter than me."
Shen Yunhui immediately continued: "The eldest sister is very powerful. When they were in Prince Rui's palace, both the concubine and the princess liked the eldest sister, and compared them with those who thought they had a good relationship with the palace, but in fact they were not. .”
"So the third girl should learn from the older girls. If you have the ability, you won't be afraid of wherever you go!"
"I don't have the skills of eldest sister. I'll be satisfied if I can learn half of what eldest sister is!"
This trip to Prince Rui's Mansion made Shen Yunhui's admiration for Shen Tianshu reach its peak, and she was called "big sister" every time, making her extremely affectionate.
At first, Pingniang was worried that Shen Tianshu would be bored, but seeing that she always looked relaxed and showed no displeasure, she was relieved a little.
Ever since Shen Tianshu put her ear to the ear and told Mrs. Xu's deepest secret, Ping Niang no longer dared to look at her with the same eyes.
Now that I see Shen Yunhui and Shen Tianshu getting along so well, I don't know whether to be happy or worried for a moment.
Shen Tianshu listened to Ping Niang and Shen Yunhui singing and talking next to them, talking about common things.
She occasionally exchanged words, but even if they didn't, Ping Niang and Shen Yunhui were already talking happily on their own.
The two of them have been practicing by staying with Mr. Xu for many years, and the topics they choose are all pleasing to people, so naturally they will not get bored.
The door curtain suddenly opened, and Minghui came in from the outside. Perhaps she didn't expect that there were other people in the room at such a late hour, so her footsteps suddenly stopped at the door.
Shen Tianshu raised his head and cast a questioning look at her.
With Ping Niang and Shen Yunhui present, Minghui couldn't open her mouth, so she had to find an excuse to ask: "Is the girl hungry? Do you want me to go to the kitchen to see if there is anything to eat?"
Ping Niang has been in Shen Mansion for many years, but she still can't understand the meaning of these words.
If he really came here to ask for midnight snacks, he would either have prepared them a long time ago and come to ask the girl if she wants to eat; or the girl was hungry and asked the maid to go to the kitchen and ask someone to make it fresh.
Where would a maid come to ask her master if she wanted to eat it? If she wanted to eat it, she would ask someone to cook it freshly.
Thinking of this, Ping Niang immediately stood up and said goodbye: "It's getting late today, so I and the third girl will go back first. The eldest girl has been tired for a day, so she should rest early."
"Ms. Yan hasn't sent the account book here yet, why are you leaving in a hurry!" Shen Yunhui is not as sharp as Ping Niang, and just wants to stay with Shen Tianshu for a while longer.
"It's too late today, and I don't have time to read the account books when they are delivered." Shen Tianshu knew that Minghui must be in trouble, so he got up and coaxed Shen Yunhui, "When it comes, I will tell them to keep it and wait for you. Let’s watch together tomorrow.”
At this moment, Shen Yunhui nodded immediately and said, "Okay, sister, please go to bed early. I will come back to you tomorrow."
After sending Ping Niang and his daughter away, Shen Tianshu turned around and asked Minghui: "Is something wrong?"
"Girl, there is news from Guard Xie." After Minghui said that, she took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu took out the letter and opened it to look at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the tighter his brows became.
She knew that the rumors in the city couldn't be groundless, there must be someone behind it.
Xie Yan was worthy of being a man trained by the Prince's Mansion, and he quickly found out the clues.
Those who spread rumors all over the city were all paid.
However, these low-level minions have no access to the real masterminds behind the scenes. It is still difficult to trace the source.
However, I did find out a useful piece of information, just as Shen Tianshu had guessed before.
The mastermind behind the scenes hired these people to spread rumors, not only to ruin Shen Zhonglei's reputation, but most importantly, to destroy the fertility ceremony.
A good harvest is the top priority for farmers.
If something happens to Shen Zhonglei at this time, he will definitely lose a lot of people's support.
The person who can use such means must also be in the officialdom, maybe someone who has a competitive relationship with Shen Zhonglei.
Shen Tianshu threw the letter into the charcoal basin and stared at it as it was slowly burned through and turned into black ash, while his mind was racing, thinking about how to solve this matter.
Since the other party started by spreading rumors, let’s break the situation with their rumors.
In this way, all their subsequent arrangements will be disrupted, and everything will be self-defeating.
