Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Madam Mu groaned: "What Huaibi means is that the second young lady of the Shen family is pretending to be dull and stupid?"

"My son doesn't know. He has never been with Second Miss Shen. But since the Marquis's wife has personally written a letter to mother, it would be bad to offend the Marquis's family. I will go and meet Second Miss Shen tomorrow."

"Having Bi has always been the easiest thing for mother to worry about." Madam Mu looked at her second son with satisfaction. "We'll meet tomorrow. If it's not suitable, don't force it. Although your father prefers the Marquis' Mansion and has always wanted to win it over, there are many ways. It doesn't necessarily have to be a marriage. Your wife who is not married yet is equally important to the Duke's Mansion in the future. Besides, the mother of the second daughter of the Shen family is not satisfied with her anyway."

Mu Yejun smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, mother. I know." May I ask where Miss Shen will meet tomorrow?

"Meet at Ting'an Teahouse on Suzaku Street at 7:07 pm."

"Ting'an Tea House? I've heard that this tea house has become famous recently, and I've long wanted to go and see what's different about it. It will be helpful for running the business in the mansion in the future." As he finished speaking, he saw that it was getting late. The water clock showed that it was almost the hour of the dog. Mu Yejun stood up and bowed to his mother and said goodbye: "It's getting late. I'll take my leave first. I'll come to see you tomorrow when I return home."

Madam Mu also brought the teacup: "Well, go ahead."

Mu Yejun turned around and walked out. Behind him he heard his mother's voice instructing the maid: "Rongzhi, send someone to the study to ask the Duke whether he will return to the main courtyard to rest today." As he walked further and further away, the voice gradually became inaudible and he walked out of the main courtyard.

The month of Guiyue every year is the most comfortable season in Dongxiangjing City. The temperature in the early morning gradually begins to cool down, no longer as sultry as in summer nor as cold as in late autumn. An occasional breeze blows on your face, accompanied by the fragrance of the blooming osmanthus flowers in the yard, which is refreshing.

Shen Shenshen had a very difficult time getting up this morning because he stayed up all night last night: writing a business plan. Business plans kill brain cells, but in the past life, there were computers and the format was PPT, so typing and inserting pictures meant less writing and more talking. But in this world, as long as it involves writing, it must be written word by word, and it must be written with a brush.

Before going to the main courtyard for dinner yesterday, she told the maid to grind the ink and lay out the paper, so that she could start writing as soon as she came back. After dinner, she trotted back to the Qinghua Cottage. Even if she didn't waste a minute, she would write until midnight before stopping. She wrote dozens of pages in a hurry. In addition, she didn't rest well the day before, so Shen Shenshen felt that her head was heavy and she was about to die.

When Lu Hen woke her up at Mao Shi, she had two huge dark circles under her eyes, which scared the little maid: "Miss, it's a bit scary for you to meet Mr. Mu like this today."

"This is even better. If Master Mu doesn't like me, I don't have to get married. Whoever wants to get married can marry. Anyway, I won't get married." Shen Shenshen muttered to himself, quickly dressed, and then ordered: "Send someone to get some water from the ice cubes left over from the summer in the cellar. Don't go too early, but get it around the time I come back from my grandmother. I need to wash my face."

"Yes, Miss." Although Lu Hen didn't understand why the Miss wanted to use ice water to wash her face, she remembered that the Miss had said that she shouldn't ask any questions and that she should just do as she was told.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Shenshen took Lu Hen to the main courtyard. All the direct descendants of the main courtyard were present, and they headed towards Daishan Courtyard.

Today, the old lady wore an indigo blue long gown with silver auspicious cloud patterns, and a plain white long-sleeved skirt with fine fabrics. She looked dignified and solemn, but not kind. Shen Shenshen suddenly realized today that from the old lady's clothes, the furnishings in the house, and her love of interfering in the affairs of various mansions, this grandmother was a power-loving person.

When paying her respects, the old lady looked deeply at Madam Shen and Shen Shen.

Both mother and daughter understood what she meant. The old lady must have known that the second young lady went out to see the young master of the Mu family today. So when she greeted them, she used her eyes to hint that the mother and daughter had gone too far and was unreasonable, and would inevitably be criticized in the future.

The reason why she held back was because the old lady was still clear at the critical moment. After all, she was the former mistress of the Marquis's Mansion. Although Xu Wenwan was a daughter-in-law, she was also the eldest daughter of the Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion. Her family was powerful, so it was understandable that she helped her own daughter choose a husband. So when the old lady got this ridiculous news yesterday, she was so angry that she smashed a beloved teacup, but today she still held back her anger in front of everyone in the Marquis's Mansion.

There is a long time to come, I will slowly look for opportunities to knock.

The morning and evening prayers at 9:00 p.m. today ended with the old lady's dissatisfied eyes and expression. When leaving Daishan Courtyard, Shen Shenshen heard Shen Liuye whispering to Shen Wenbin: "Third brother, why do I feel that grandma is in a bad mood today? Who made grandma angry?"

"Fifth sister, have you noticed it too? I also feel like grandma is angry."

The two of them whispered and followed Aunt Du to her yard.

Shen Shenshen separated from her mother, sister and brother at the fork in the road and returned to her own Qinghua Garden to prepare to leave the house. Before parting, Shen Chenxiang smiled at her with a charming face: "Second sister, I hope you can find a husband of your dreams today."

Crazy! Shen Shen rolled her eyes in her heart like Concubine Hua.

Back at the Qinghua Garden, Shen Shenshen used the ice water prepared by the maids to cool her face, which relieved the dark circles under her eyes. After a little makeup, they were no longer noticeable. When combing her hair, she thought for a moment and said to Lu Hen, "I'll comb my hair the same way I did when I went to Prince Zhong's mansion the day before yesterday, and I'll still wear the comb that the prince gave me."

My dear sponsor, have you seen how much I care about you? I really tried my best to please you!

In her previous life, she was a very punctual and self-disciplined person. She would rather arrive early and wait for the other party. Of course, she also hated the other party's unpunctuality. So after quickly getting dressed today, Shen Shenshen asked Lu Hen to find a small wooden box to put away the business plan that she had written so hard yesterday. The master and servant hurriedly got on the carriage and rushed out of the mansion to Ting'an Tea Shop.

The carriage reached the destination in about two cups of tea. The doorman who greeted the mansion last time at Ting'an Tea House immediately came forward with a smile when he saw the mansion's carriage stop and asked, "I wonder if the distinguished guest who came to our shop today is the second young lady of the mansion?"

"Do you remember me?"

After Lu Hen got off the carriage first, Shen Shen leaned his head out and smiled at the servant.

"Of course I remember. The second young lady came here a few days ago, also in this carriage. I'll just venture a guess."

"Your boss is a talented person." She got off the carriage and walked into the teahouse. The servant took the two silver coins from Lu Hen with a smile and turned around to stand at the door to welcome the guests.

After entering the room, Shen Shenshen saw from a distance a tall man standing with his back to her. He was tall and well-proportioned, and was wearing a light-colored robe with intricate embroidery.

Because the light was against him and the man was standing right next to the crescent door of the tea shop, the light was dim.

Shen Shenshen saw the back and said happily: "Ziyuan, good morning."
