Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 31 Xien, curiosity kills the cat

Chun Miao listened carefully and bowed immediately: "Second Miss, I will remember this."

"If you do well with me, your year-end bonus every year... No, I will give you a lot of money at the end of the year, but if you don't do well, I will still replace you. If you betray me, don't blame me, young lady. I am not a kind person."

"Hmm..." She hesitated for a moment, "The name Chunmiao doesn't sound nice, it sounds rustic. I like the color green, so from now on you will be called Luhen. Also, go to the courtyard and spread the word that I will select a new maid to replace you. As for who to choose, it depends on their performance."

It seems that the young lady is going to choose another loyal person. She, who was given the name Green Mark, nodded repeatedly.

Lu Hen and Zhen Ying are both first-class maids who are close to Shen Shenshen. Because Zhen Ying has been with the Second Young Miss longer than Lu Hen, she has always been the chief maid in the courtyard. When the Young Miss goes out, she often only takes Zhen Ying with her. But today, something unexpected happened, which made Lu Hen confirm that her Young Miss has really changed. She is smart and strong. Her heart began to be active: I have really entered the Second Young Miss's side. From now on, I will be the only maid beside the Young Miss. She secretly swore: Chun Miao, no, Lu Hen, you have to do your best.

Silent all night.

The next day was still boring. We greeted each other at 4:05 a.m., talked a lot of nonsense, and then dispersed.

When the people in the mansion saw that Shen Shenshen's personal maid was replaced by Chun Miao, now Lv Hen, no one cared at first, because it was normal for a maid to be sick or feel uncomfortable.

Shen Shen was paying attention to everyone's expressions when they saw her changing the maid. If anyone looked strange, it meant that person was the one behind Zhen Ying. Unfortunately, no one, including her grandmother, noticed anything wrong.

Shen Shenshen was particularly excited because he was going to Prince Zhong's mansion to meet Xiao Zhu today to discuss the "money-making plan" together.

The people from the main courtyard returned to the courtyard from the old lady. Madam Shen immediately ordered Lianhe and several other maids to carry out a box and put it in the courtyard, saying, "This is the return gift from the Marquis' Mansion to the Prince's Mansion. Although you and Zhixi grew up together, you still have to be polite when you go to the Prince's Mansion. Shen'er, your gift is for Zhixi, and the Marquis' Mansion also needs a backup gift for meeting."

Lian He had already called two servants over, ready to carry the box directly to the carriage that Shen Shenshen would be taking when he left the house today.

"Mom, what's in the box?" Shen Shenshen asked curiously, pointing at the box.

Shen Caizi and Shen Chenxiang next to them also came over and looked at the box with the same curiosity.

Madam Shen said softly, "Last year, when the flood hit Jiangnan, the Marquis went to provide disaster relief. When he was about to return to the court to report, the local prefect sent a lot of tribute brocade from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau to thank the Marquis and his party for their help. These brocades are only for the ladies in the palace. When your father brought them back, mother thought it was inappropriate for the women in our palace to wear the same clothes as the ladies in the palace, so she kept them locked in the warehouse. This time you go to the Prince's Palace as a return gift. The princess and the legitimate sons and daughters can afford to wear tribute from the palace."

Shen Shen keenly sensed something wrong: "Mother, how can a prefect have the right to casually give tribute to ministers or nobles in the court? Does His Majesty know?"

"Mother, this is my question as well. This matter can be a big or small matter for our Marquis' Mansion." Shen Chenxiang also asked, and at the same time gave Shen Shenshen a look that said: Oh, not bad.

"You have grown up. It seems that mother was right to talk to you about the things going on in the mansion. Your father has already thought of these concerns."

Madam Shen nodded in satisfaction. "After paying tribute to Your Majesty, the Weaving Bureau will have some surplus brocade every year. The prefect will of course record how the surplus brocade is handled, how it is spent, and whether it is given as a gift. There is a certificate for each piece. If the tribute is given as a gift, the prefect will also report it to the Ministry of Revenue. At the same time, the Marquis also informed Your Majesty of the matter as soon as he returned to Beijing, and also checked the amount of brocade received with the Ministry of Revenue. You can rest assured."

Hearing this, the three of them nodded at the same time, all relieved. Especially Shen Shenshen: The old ones are the wisest, my father is really mighty, he does things flawlessly, he is domineering, cool and awesome.

Madam Shen patted her second daughter's hand and said, "Shen'er, hurry back to the yard and get ready to leave. You can't be too late when you arrive at the palace."

"I understand, mother. By the way, I can no longer use Zhenying as my personal maid. She has some problems. I won't reveal what they are for now. She will be my personal maid from now on."

Shen Shen pointed at Lvhen who was standing not far away and said, "The original Chunmiao's name has now been changed to Lvhen. From now on, if you want to tell me anything, just go to her."

Madam Shen, Shen Caizi and Shen Chenxiang were all slightly stunned. Changing the personal maid was not a trivial matter for the master. Basically, the master would not change the maid unless it was a capital crime. Besides, Zhenying had been following Shen Shenshen since she was five years old and was also an old lady in the mansion.

It seems that something happened in Shen Shenshen's yard.

Madam Shen understood and said, "You don't have to tell mother and your siblings everything. You are eighteen years old and the second young lady has grown up. You can make your own decisions. Of course, if there is anything important that you want to ask mother's opinion on, you can tell her at any time. If you are willing to talk, mother will be happy. If you don't want to say more, then don't say anything."

Shen Caizi responded: "It seems that the second sister has already handled this matter properly."

Shen Chenxiang also said: "But Second Sister, please tell me what's going on. You have aroused my curiosity. You can't keep it to yourself."

Shen Shen glanced at him sideways: "Xien, curiosity kills the cat."

Shen Chenxiang was puzzled: "What cat?"

Mrs. Shen immediately stopped the two from chatting: "Xien, stop bothering your second sister. She will be late when she goes out."

The two of them immediately shut up obediently.

Shen Shenshen hurried back to her own courtyard with Lu Hen. The maid had already prepared breakfast. She ate a few bites in a hurry and hurried to change her clothes.

Today she was going to meet the handsome and elegant Master Zhu, and discuss cooperation face to face. No matter how strong and forward-thinking Shen Shenshen was, she was still a girl after all. In order not to appear stupid, she looked for suitable clothes in advance, matched three sets according to her own aesthetic taste, and finally chose one of them, just like when she met important clients in her previous life.

Shen Shenshen wore a snow-white silk skirt made of palace satin. There were several green dragonflies embroidered on the white satin. The hem of the skirt was embroidered with a large area of ​​green lotus leaves and lotus pods starting from the calves and extending to the bottom of the skirt. When she walked, it was like the breeze blowing the lotus leaves and lotus flowers. She wore a light green Yanluo shirt over the skirt.

At first, the Yanluo shirt was not designed with any waist design or belt to suit Shen Shenshen's slightly plump figure. Shen Shenshen put it on yesterday and it tore because of its ugliness.
