Daming female local tyrant

After breakfast, Jing Lan went to put the bundle of a squirrel fur jacket that Shen Wan had picked out and put it on her back, and went out with Zhao Siniang.

Originally, she planned to take Cui Zhu to go out together and go shopping with Zhao Siniang, but later Jinglan thought that Shen Wan was pregnant and no one was wrong with her, so she let Cui Zhu stay in the house to take care of Shen Wan, and she was responsible for going to the house. Pawn the leather jacket, and then buy back the daily necessities you need.

After Shen Wan confessed to her that she was pregnant, even though Jing Lan was worried that she would be used by Shen Wan and became a pawn in her plan, she liked Shen Wan too much, more than worry and fear. In such a situation, she still wanted to take care of Shen Wan and be with her.

It doesn't matter if she is worthless, or something else, when she looks at Shen Wan, or even just thinks about her, her heart throbs.

In such a situation, she thought it was her first love, not to mention her first kiss was taken away by Shen Wan, and this kiss gave her such a beautiful and strong feeling, she felt that she might never forget it for the rest of her life.

When Shen Wan later saw Jing Lan eating and doing things with a dull expression, she was also a little worried that Jing Lan would really care about her.

With Cuizhu in front of her, she couldn't say anything.

After breakfast, Shen Wan told Jing An to go early and come back early, Jing Lan nodded.

Cuizhu couldn't go out shopping with Jinglan, but she also sent her out. On the way, she didn't forget to tell Jinglan: "You can forget to buy anything, but don't forget to buy realgar, and buy more. A bit."

Jing Lan reassured her, saying that she would never forget.

After following Zhao Siniang out of the Shen family's old house, Jing Lan asked her to take her to the pawn shop in the town.

Zhao Siniang had already seen the burden on Jing Lan's shoulders. Now that Jing Lan asked where the pawn shop was, she knew that she wanted to pawn things. To be precise, it was Shen Wan who wanted to pawn things.

Last night she asked her man, Qiu Liu, what happened to Shen Wan being driven to the Shen family's old house by the old lady of the Shen family.

Previously, it was only roughly heard that it was to make peace with Xiao Yulang, the old lady was so angry that the old lady came to punish her.

Qiu Liu said that he asked Mr. Yan about the matter, and the old lady sent the second master to confiscate Shen Wan's dowry and money, and she was only allowed to bring the clothes in the house to the old Shen family's house in Suzhou to think about it, and manage the Shen family along the way. Xuetian and Yitian in Suzhou.

At present, there is probably no money.

Today, Shen Wan asked her personal servant girl to pawn things on her back, which confirmed her husband's speculation. Zhao Siniang couldn't help but secretly sighed, thinking that Shen Wan, a noble young lady, had to go to a pawnshop to pawn things to make ends meet. That old lady was too cruel to her granddaughter.

She took Jing Lan to the only pawn shop in the town to pawn off the mink fur jacket, and they gave her 35 taels of silver.

After taking out the money, she took Jinglan to the grocery store to buy wooden basins, barrels, bathtubs, cups, plates, bowls, brooms and whisks, etc. Jinglan did not forget to promise Cuizhu, and bought ten catties of realgar , Ask the store clerk to pack these things on a wheelbarrow and send them to the Shen family's old house.

Zhao Siniang took the three taels of silver that Jing Lan gave her, and also went to buy meat and vegetables and put them on the wheelbarrow pushed by the grocery store clerk.

It was almost noon when we arrived at the Shen family's old house, and Zhao Siniang took some meat and vegetables to cook.

The clerk at the grocery store helped Jing Lan move the wooden barrels and other items from the car in.

The weeds in the last courtyard of Shen's old house were pulled out by the two servants brought by old steward Yan, and they were cleaned quite cleanly.

As soon as Cui Zhu saw Jing Lan coming back, she happily ran over to her and asked, "Where's the realgar? Did you forget to buy the realgar?"

Jing Lan said, "It's the one in my hand."

There are several packages of realgar powder wrapped in yellow paper in the wooden bucket she is carrying.

Shen Wan also stood in the hall, looking at her with a smile from a distance, although Jing Lan was talking to Cuizhu, she still unconsciously looked at Shen Wan who was behind Cuizhu.

She handed the wooden bucket in her hand to Cui Zhu, walked over to give Shen Wanfu a blessing, and said, "Girl, I bought back all the tubs and tubs we need to use."

Shen Wan asked her to stand up and talk, then pointed to the blue and white porcelain pot on the table: "I told Cuizhu to boil the tea and let it cool down, wait for you to come back and drink it, you and Zhao Siniang went out early in the morning, and you won't come back until noon, you must be thirsty." gone."

Jing Lan was indeed thirsty, she walked over and poured several bowls of tea to drink one after another, then took out the silver in her sleeve pocket and handed it to Shen Wan: "Girl, you pawned 35 taels of silver for your mink fur coat, I will give it to you." I bought Zhao Siniang three taels, and then bought these wooden barrels, bath tubs, bath beans, realgar and other things, which cost less than two taels of silver, leaving 30 taels of silver..."

Shen Wan pushed back the money that Jing Lan handed over, and said: "You take this money and arrange everything, I don't buy anything on weekdays."

Jing Lan thought about it, and gave Shen Wan 15 taels of silver. She said that although Shen Wan didn't need to buy things, she still had to keep money with her. If she was not with her and needed money, it would be inconvenient.

When Shen Wan heard this, she felt that Jing Lan had considered it thoughtfully, so she also took 15 taels of silver, put it in a box in the inner room and locked it.

Now she doesn't have the maids An Dong and An Chun to take care of the keys for her, so she carries the keys with her.

When Shen Wan left and returned, Jing Lan had already been dragged out by the green bamboo. The two rolled up their sleeves, unwrapped the yellow paper bag, scooped out the realgar inside with a clean tea bowl and sprinkled it everywhere.In the yard and the corners of the house, it was all sprinkled, so everyone's noses were filled with a strong smell of realgar.

Then, you can see that many centipedes are crawling around, burrowing into places where there is no realgar powder in the ground.

Rats and snakes then appeared, and fled in all directions.

After the ten catties of realgar powder were sprinkled, Cuizhu covered her nose with a handkerchief and smiled: "Now I can rest assured, I can sleep well at night."

Zhao Siniang came in and asked them to go out to eat. She pinched her nose and joked, "You guys can sleep well now, but Qiu Liu and I can't sleep well. All the snakes, rats, insects and ants here will run to the front."

Cuizhu answered: "Miss Zhao Si, then another day we will buy another ten catties of realgar powder for you to sprinkle in front of you."

Zhao Siniang immediately said: "Okay, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and the Dragon Boat Festival is to get rid of the five poisons. I have saved money on buying realgar this year."

Everyone chatted and laughed, outside, Jinglan and Cuizhu had dinner with Shen Wan today, Zhao Siniang specially cleaned a vacant room for their master and servant, and set up a small square table and three stools.She said that a lot of realgar had been sprinkled inside, and it was better to eat outside in the past two days. When the smell of realgar in the back yard was not so strong, it would be better for her to send food in.

Shen Wan then praised Zhao Siniang for her thoughtfulness, and Zhao Siniang was very happy to be praised by Shen Wan, and hurriedly said that she was a servant of the Shen family, and it was her honor to serve the eldest daughter of the eldest son of the clan.

After the meal, old steward Yan came over to report to Shen Wan, he went to notify Liu Zhuangtou and Qi Zhuangtou, and told them to bring the account books of the last three years, and come to visit Shen Wan after Shen Wan had finished lunch. They also came according to Shen Wan's order.

Shen Wan considered that if she called them over in the morning, the third yard would not be cleaned up, and she would lose her place in seeing them with Qiu Liu and Zhao Siniang.

After cleaning up the hall of the Third Embroidery Building, an environment for meeting guests was preliminarily established.

Especially today, the servant who helped clean up found four intact gold-painted flower-and-bird screens, a table, and a few chairs in the empty room of the East and West Wing. In the main hall, if a guest comes, you can barely invite them to sit down and talk.

Shen Wan then said to old steward Yan: "Then trouble the old steward to bring them in and meet me in the main hall of Xiulou."

After finishing speaking, she asked Cuizhu to tell Zhao Siniang to bring a pot of tea to her later, while she was accompanied by Jing Lan and went back to Xiulou first.

After returning to Xiulou's bedroom, Jing Lan asked her if she wanted to go to sleep for a while before getting up.

Shen Wan said that it's all right to lie down, she doesn't want to sleep, she just wants to lie down and think about something.

Jing Lan helped her to the bed and leaned on the pillow, and then went out to find Zhao Siniang. Since Shen Wan had asked her to arrange their basic necessities, of course she had to arrange for craftsmen to build the stove and repair the roof as soon as possible. it's clear.

When she was going out, she met Cui Zhu who came in with tea, Jing Lan told her to go to Shen Wan's room to watch, and she would come by herself in a while.

She went outside, found Zhao Siniang who was still washing dishes in the kitchen, and asked Zhao Siniang how much it cost to find craftsmen to build the stove and repair the roof of the embroidery building, and if she knew those craftsmen.

Zhao Siniang said: "It costs about two taels of silver to build the stove, and it takes about two taels of silver to repair the roof of the embroidery building. If it is combined with repairing the doors and windows, I'm afraid it will cost two taels of silver. Anyway, ten taels of silver is almost enough. gone."

Jing Lan asked again: "How many days will it take to build the stove? How many days will it take to repair the roof, doors and windows?"

Zhao Siniang counted with her fingers: "It takes two days to build the stove, two to three days to repair the roof, and two to three days to repair the doors and windows. You can hire three craftsmen to do the same job. In this way, everything can be done in three days." That's right."

Jing Lan nodded: "Okay, then please trouble Mrs. Zhao to help find someone. It's best to come to work tomorrow. You have done a good job. After the girl returns to Jinling, I will definitely give you and your man a better job. "

"Oh, if that's the case, the two of us are willing to work hard for the girl and repay the girl." Zhao Siniang smiled from ear to ear.

"Then after you finish washing the dishes, go to Qiu Liu and ask him to find someone. Here is ten taels of silver, and I will leave it to you to handle the matter."

Jing Lan took out two ingots of five taels of silver and handed them to Zhao Siniang, "Remember, you must find a good craftsman, and don't cut corners. This is the first time a girl will test you and your man."

Zhao Siniang nodded hastily holding two ingots of silver, and asked Jing Lan to rest assured that she and Qiu Liu would not disappoint Shen Wan.

Jing Lan smiled, turned around and left the kitchen, and went back to the embroidery building.

She knows how to find someone to do things. Although promising people a good future can make people work for you, if you give some more benefits, then the person who helps you will fully believe that what you made is not an empty promise, and he will Work harder.
