After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

Zhuangzi in the western suburbs.

This place and the Hou Mansion are scattered on both sides of the capital. The reason why Tan Zhixu chose this place was because it was geographically far away and people from the Hou Mansion would not find it easily.

After getting off the carriage, she saw that a large area of ​​crop fields had been plowed, the ground was flat, soft, and the sun was just right.

"Mrs. shopkeeper, are you here?"

Tan Zhixu rolled up his sleeves and looked at the young man who greeted him, his face full of approval.

The last time she came to buy land, she chose this young man to be the manager here. He was about the same age as Qin Zhou, and he was more flexible. Although he was young and energetic, he was better at obeying management.

The young man is from Jincheng. He fled to the capital with his parents when he was a child. His parents died on the way, and he was saved by a beggar. He grew up eating the food of hundreds of families over the years, and then came to Zhuangzi by chance.

Because of his dexterity at work, he was retained despite his young age.

When Tan Zhixu promoted him, many people had objections. The young man himself was well-informed and quickly convinced everyone with his tricks.

"How have you been these days?"

Tan Zhixu asked as he followed to collect the seeds on the ground.

No matter how much money the Hou Mansion makes, it still belongs to the Hou Mansion, but it is different here.

These real money and silver are all going to fall into his own pocket, so Tan Zhixu is naturally more concerned about it.

Seeing her like this, the manager quickly helped, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, everything is going well. According to what you said, Zhuangzi has been doing well recently. The seeds have been distributed and farmers have started planting."

After he finished speaking, he invited Tan Zhixu to the fields.

The sun has just risen and it is not too hot yet. Men, women and children are planting in the fields. It is a beautiful scene.

Tan Zhixu seemed to have seen the smiles on the faces of these people during the harvest.

Thinking about this, a smile spread unconsciously in her eyes, "Okay, I will leave this money for you. If you need to buy seeds or something, you can withdraw it here and make good accounts. I will come once every half month. If you need anything, just go The drug store in the western suburbs told the shopkeeper to find the second lady and leave a letter and I will look for you."

"Yes."

When Tan Zhixu left Zhuangzi and arrived at the agreed place, he saw Guyu.

The little girl seemed to be going well. When she saw Tan Zhixu, she ran over excitedly, "Miss, Miss!"

Tan Zhixu looked helplessly at Gu Yu running over, "Run slowly."

"Miss, I have bought all the things you asked me to buy, especially the herbs. I found a farmer who picks herbs. That farmer likes to go to the mountains to collect herbs. He is willing to sell the herbs to us at a low price... "

Gu Yu panted and told Tan Zhixu what he had gained from his trip.

"very good."

Tan Zhixu gently wiped the sweat from Gu Yu's forehead, and after her mood eased, they returned to the Hou Mansion together.

As soon as the two entered the yard, they saw Song Ling'er explaining something to the clerk at the tailor shop. She wanted to hide away, but she heard the clerk say: "Don't worry, girl, all you want are the latest styles from our shop."

What a waste of money.

After so many years, Song Ling'er has never changed.

Tan Zhixu remembered that in his previous life, today was the day when Song Ling'er pestered him and spent a lot of money.

Even today is just the beginning. In the next ten years or so, Song Ling'er spent almost no money on new things.

Thinking that all the money he had worked so hard to earn was finally spent by his enemies, Tan Zhixu wanted to beat himself to death.

"Second sister-in-law, are you back?" Song Linger looked at Tan Zhixu ecstatically.

Unable to leave, Tan Zhixu slowly turned around and looked at Song Ling'er. His originally cold face was now full of smiles, "Ling'er, what are you doing?"

"Second sister-in-law, can you take a look at the ready-made clothes that I promised to those girls earlier?" Song Ling'er took Tan Zhixu's arm and walked to the displayed ready-made clothes in two steps.

Tan Zhixu had no intention of admiring it. He only took a quick look and nodded perfunctorily, "Well, it looks pretty good. I think they will like it."

"Really?" Song Linger smiled sweetly, like a little girl who was inexperienced in the world.

At this moment, she was happy because of Tan Zhixu's recognition.

But Tan Zhixu knew that this innocent appearance was her biggest disguise.

"real."

"I knew the second sister-in-law had good eyesight, but it's a pity that the elder sister-in-law doesn't have such good eyesight..."

Speaking of the Zhou family, disgust flashed across Song Linger's face.

Tan Zhi sneered in her heart, she is really a profit-seeking person. If Mrs. Zhou hadn't refused to pay her bills, I guess the best sister-in-law now would still be Mrs. Zhou, right? !

Thinking of Zhou's face, Tan Zhixu couldn't stand it any longer, "Ling'er, I have something else to do, I'll leave first."

Before he finished speaking, Tan Zhixu turned around and left.

This time Song Ling'er didn't stop her, she just looked at Tan Zhixu's back and thought thoughtfully for a long time until the maid called her.

"how?"

Song Linger looked at the maid dissatisfied.

The maid looked at the waiter and then at Song Ling'er, "Miss, the ready-made clothes this time were not obtained from our embroidery workshop in the Hou Mansion."

"so what?"

The maid hesitated to speak, saying nothing was unreasonable, and Song Ling'er was even more unhappy.

Hearing Song Ling'er's dissatisfaction, the maid half-knelt on the ground, "Girl, you need to pay money."

"Then why are you still standing there?" Song Ling'er didn't react for a moment and kicked the maid hard, "Hurry up and pay."

After Song Ling'er finished speaking, she turned around and returned to the bedroom. The maid stayed there and was stunned. It took her a while to react, and she forced a smile to the waiter, "Wait a moment."

After appeasing the good man, the maid went to the bedroom bravely.

"Has it been dealt with?"

In front of the bronze mirror, Song Ling'er admired the hairpin on her head. This hairpin was gifted by the princess and was unique in the world. She planned to wear this hairpin to the banquet in two days.

"Girl, we have no money in our account."

"What did you say?!"

Song Linger stood up suddenly and looked at the maid in disbelief.

The maid knew that Song Ling'er didn't believe it, so she forced herself to reply: "Ever since we lived in the princess's house, the monthly money has never been enough. In the past, it was all given by the old lady or the second young master, but now the second young master..."

At this point, the maid did not continue, but she knew that her lady understood what she meant.

Song Ling'er suddenly realized that no wonder she felt that she didn't have enough money recently. It turned out that she was missing her second brother's share!

Song Qinian was very kind to her before and would give her part of his monthly salary, but now this second sister-in-law seems to have never given it to her.

Thinking about this, Song Ling'er's poor good impression of Mr. Tan Zhixu is now gone.

"Where's Brother?"

"Madam has been losing money in business recently, and she won't give us any money."

Yes, how could she forget it?

I had a quarrel with Mrs. Zhou two days ago just because she was stingy.

How could such a stingy person give her money?

"Girl, I understand that the Second Madam is very generous. Although she was just the daughter of a small county magistrate, she has never lacked anything. Recently, the maids around the Second Madam have been enjoying a good life. It is said that it is a reward from the Second Madam. A lot."

She was at her wits' end, so she recounted the gossip between the sisters.

As for whether Tan Zhixu was really a generous person, she had no idea.
