Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Construction of the small kitchen began that afternoon.

Nanny Zhou, who was by Zhao's side, brought the craftsmen over personally. Shen Li sat in the yard, staring at Nanny Zhou.

This old hag kept chattering, her eyes rolling around, and she was very noisy.

Shen Li stood up suddenly, patted the melon seed shells on her body, and said with emotion: "After listening to the words of the nanny, Shen Li almost cried. I will go to visit the lady now. Banxia..."

"Yes, girl."

"Come on, take the herbs we dug up on the farm and follow me to Madam's place. Thank goodness Madam Zhou told me, otherwise I wouldn't have known Madam was so caring. I'm so touched, so..."

"No, no," Nanny Zhou was so anxious that she couldn't speak and was almost crying. "Madam needs to rest. The doctor doesn't allow anyone to visit. Even the second young lady doesn't dare to go, for fear of disturbing Madam. If you want to, eldest young lady, please don't go for now. You can go another time when you have the chance. We can talk about it later."

Shen Li glared and immediately turned her face, "In that case, why don't you go and serve the lady quickly? Why are you still nagging here?"

Nanny Zhou left in a hurry.

But she was scared to death. She originally wanted to do the lady a favor and take the opportunity to find out if there was anything wrong. But this wild guy didn't listen to her and wanted to visit the lady.

Does the lady need her to visit?

It was she who made the lady sick due to anger, okay?

Nanny Zhou patted her chest, her heart almost jumping out of her chest. She needed to calm down.

It almost got me into trouble.

If this wild thing really went to Madam, and Madam's condition worsened, I wouldn't be able to explain it even if I had a hundred mouths.

From now on, if there is work in Jiaojiaoyuan, whoever wants to come can come, and she will never dare to snatch it again.

Banxia was wandering around the garden dragging her stick. When she saw Nanny Zhou running by, she scratched her head curiously.

This person looks familiar. Was he chased by a dog?

The weather is clear and the spring sun is neither cold nor hot.

The craftsmen were busy in the backyard, and Qi Luo was supervising them in front.

Zi Su and Qi Li sat with Shen Li in the front yard to bask in the sun. They were sorting the embroidery threads they brought back from the general's mansion and chatting casually.

Banxia came in from outside, looking back as she walked and talking to herself.

"Where did you go crazy again?" Zi Su said to her angrily.

She disappeared after dinner. If she had been there just now, Nanny Zhou would not have dared to stay here for long after seeing the stick in her hand, so the girl would not have been scared away.

"I went to the garden to look for flowers, but I didn't find any I liked. I'll bring them back to our yard when I find some," Banxia said nonchalantly, throwing down her stick. "I just saw Madam Zhou. I ran over like a gust of wind and almost didn't recognize her."

"Well, she just left our place and brought people here to build a kitchen." Qili put down the silk thread in her hand and said to Banxia, ​​"Go wash your hands and come over to help me wind the thread."

Banxia glanced down, chuckled, and said, "If you let me do it, it will only make things worse. Sister, please spare me. I'm going to the backyard to watch someone build a kitchen."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away happily.

Shen Li was rocking in the rocking chair, feeling drowsy.

The Jiaojiao Courtyard is not big and cannot be compared with Shen Yao's Wutong Garden. Whether it is the tables, chairs, benches, or the bed curtains and cotton silk, they are not made of expensive and luxurious materials, but they are simple.

I guess the servants in the Shen Mansion didn't think about this when they were cleaning up. They wanted to make some simple things to treat her badly, but it turned out to be exactly what she wanted.

It's just the name...

It was obvious that Shen Yao named her to humiliate her.

Zi Su asked whether he wanted to change the name. If he wanted to, he could just go out and find someone to make a new sign.

She didn't change.

Just call her that, it’s not her who is missing.

In two days, Shen Zhaojiang should be back.

Before that, she had to think about what to do with her two shops.

The shop was given by the Duke of Wei's Mansion and is located in the capital.

I showed the house deed to Qiluo and Qili last night, and they both said that the shop was in a remote area and not worth much.

My mother saved someone from a horse's hoof, and the Yuan family said that the shop was compensation for her breaking off the engagement. In fact, that was the value of my mother's life in the eyes of the Yuan family.

Two shabby shops!

Even so, they still acted as if they were being gracious.

Shen Li sat up from the recliner and said to Qiluo, "Go get some paper and pen. I'll write a letter and have someone deliver it to the Duke of Wei's mansion."

Taking out paper and pen, Shen Li began to write.

Qiluo and Zisu were waiting on the side, and it was simply unbearable to watch.

The handwriting is as ugly as it can be.

The ink stained Shen Li's hands, and then stained the paper.

A pair of hands that can handle all kinds of firearms are powerless against soft brushes.

After the letter was finished, it was covered with clumps of black ink.

"Here, find someone to deliver it to Duke Wei's Mansion." Shen Li sealed the envelope and handed it to Qiluo.

Qiluo took it and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket, then asked, "Is there anything else you would like to tell me?"

Shen Li thought about it and said, "Let the Yuan family go directly to my uncle to reply, there is no need to come to the Shen Mansion to find me."

"Yes." Qiluo turned and went out.

The small kitchen was built the next day. Zhao sent someone over to say that she was so tired that she vomited blood yesterday, and she was powerless to help Shen Li set up the kitchen. If Shen Li wanted to find a cook herself, then she could do it herself.

The money for the cook and the food purchases has already been notified to the accountant, so just send someone to pick it up.

However, things like the small kitchen violated the rules of the Shen family. Shen Li wanted to see it, and as a stepmother, it was difficult for her to stop her.

The girls in the mansion had a set amount of food to eat. Any amount exceeding the set amount could only be supplemented from Fang's remaining dowry.

The little girl trembled as she finished speaking. Banxia coughed, frightening the little girl so much that she fell to her knees, covering her head and begging for mercy: "Don't hit me, sister, don't hit me."

Banxia touched her chin and said in a serious tone, "Tell me, how much is your monthly allowance?"

The little girl was almost scared and cried, "Sister, sister, I don't have any money, I really don't have any money."

"Who asked you about your monthly allowance, not whether you have any money?" Banxia looked her up and down. "Even if I were to rob someone, I wouldn't rob someone like you."

The little girl had a sad face and whispered, "I make five hundred coins a month."

Banxia frowned, "So few? Where are the others?"

The little girl answered honestly, "The first-class girl is one tael, the second-class girl is seven hundred coins, and I am the third-class girl."

Banxia understood and turned to Shen Li and said, "Miss, this servant and I are both older maids. We should have a monthly allowance of one tael of silver each month, but the mansion has never given us any. We have been owed two hundred and forty taels of monthly allowance for ten years. The mansion must compensate us."

When she saw Shen Li counting the banknotes yesterday, she was so excited that she thought about it all night.

The Shen family pretends to be good people in public, but they actually want to starve the girl and them to death. Bastards, if the money is not returned, everyone in the capital will know about it.

"Go now," Banxia said to the little girl, "Don't tell me what I asked you when you get home, or we'll get you into trouble when we ask Madam for the money."

The little girl was crying, but when she heard the words, she looked at Banxia in surprise and her heart settled down.
