When Shen Wan returned home, her mother Yu had brought her younger brother to wait for her, and excitedly held her hand to ask questions.

And the chef had already cooked all Shen Wan's favorite dishes and set up a table.

Mama Xia, An Chun and An Dong also came to invite An Daofu to her.

Shen Wan asked Mother Xia and others to take Jinglan to dinner, and arranged for Jinglan to live in the boudoir of Xiulou where she used to live at night, and she went back after eating.

Jing Lan followed Mother Xia and the others with her burden on her back, Shen Wan washed her hands, his father came back from the study outside, and the family sat at the same table to eat.

At the dinner table, his father asked her if she had prepared the 800 taels of silver. Tomorrow, after going to the old lady to confront the two dealers, the silver must be handed over.

Shen Wan said that she was ready, so her father didn't have to worry.

Mrs. Yu worriedly asked her that after handing over the money, she might have to pawn off those big woolen clothes to live in Suzhou in the future. She complained that the old lady was so cruel to her granddaughter and sent her to go to Suzhou to suffer poverty.

Shen Wan took the vegetables and said while eating: "Mother, you don't know, I think the old lady treats me well. When I went to Suzhou, she gave me the deed of the Shen family's old house and the land deed of the 800 mu of land." .My [-] taels are pawned with the house deed and I borrowed some money for turnover.”

Yu Shi was so shocked that she couldn't hold her chopsticks steadily: "Ah, Wan'er, if you do this, if people find out, you might provoke trouble again, right?"

Shen Wan smiled: "What's the matter? I didn't really pawn off the house, I just used the deed as collateral to borrow some money to spend."

Shen Chang asked his daughter: "Wan'er, you must be able to redeem this house deed when the time comes, otherwise your second uncle may seize this matter, call you unfilial, and even pawn the old Shen family house for money. "

"It's only 240 taels of silver, father and mother, do you think I can't even earn this money in half a year? Don't worry, I have a way to earn money. I went to Suzhou to renovate the old house of Shen's family and buy it again. I have two young servants and two maidservants, and there are people serving in front of me, so you don't have to worry about me."

"Wan'er, have you gone to see the people my father told you to ask for help?"

"I met one family, Tao Yuanxin's family. It's time to collect silkworm cocoons near Jinhe Town this season. I will ask someone to collect silkworm cocoons when I go back this time. If I send them to Tao's silk factory, I can also earn some money." In addition, I plan to sell the silkworm cocoons, and open a silk shop in Jinhe Town, sell some goods from the Tao family, and hire a few skilled tailors to do the clothing business , I should be able to redeem the deed by the end of the year. As long as the silk and satin shop in Jinhe Town is built, it will be possible to advance, attack, retreat and defend. In a year or two, I will open a silk and satin shop in Suzhou City, A silk factory. I’m really short of money, so I’ll borrow it from my father’s friends.”

Shen Chang and Mrs. Yu were very happy when they heard what their daughter said was logical and clearly planned in detail.

The couple thought that Shen Wan didn't need to go to Suzhou to do business, as long as Shen Wan could open a silk shop in Jinhe Town with her own ability, and earn enough money to support her family and her expenses.

When the old lady calmed down, the couple begged her hard, and Shen Wan could go back to Jinling.

There is nothing to go back to the Shen family in Jinling, so why bother to make a lot of money.

Shen Wan knew that what they said was reasonable, but she felt that since she was reborn, with Jing Lan by her side, she should earn a fortune for the future of the two of them, and this fortune has nothing to do with the Shen family. Well, if something happens again in the future, she will not have no money in her hands and live in embarrassment like now.

What's more, in the not-too-distant future, she will have a daughter.

The birth of this daughter, I don't know what turmoil will be caused, there is absolutely nothing wrong with planning for the future earlier.

After eating, Shen Wan didn't sit in front of her parents for too long, she resigned her parents and walked back on the grounds that she felt tired after a day's boat ride and wanted to go back to the boudoir in the embroidery building to rest.

Mrs. Yu ran out to see her off personally, and sent her all the way to the boudoir of the embroidery building where she lived. Seeing that the house was clean and there was nothing missing, she let her take a bath and rest early, and come to the front to find her tomorrow morning. , The mother and daughter went to the old lady's Yannian Hall together.

Shen Wan was four months pregnant at this time, and her abdomen was slightly swollen, so after the maids prepared hot water for her, she didn't let An Chun and An Dong serve her, but called Jing Lan to serve her.

When Jing Lan waited for her to take a bath, she secretly asked her if she didn't retch in front of the master and wife, right?

Shen Wan said that she didn't have it during meals, but she was still worried about revealing her secrets suddenly, so she didn't sit in front of her parents for a long time.

As soon as she said this, she retched.

Jing Lan hurriedly rubbed her chest and said, "I don't know when I won't vomit anymore. Tomorrow, don't show your secrets in front of the old lady."

Shen Wan caressed her stomach and said that her daughter Jun Pei was very well-behaved and loved her mother, and she would definitely help her mother tomorrow, and would not torment herself to let herself be exposed.

"Jun Pei? How did the girl know that you are pregnant with a daughter, and even named her?" Jing Lan asked curiously after hearing the words.

"Oh... I just know that she gave it to me in a dream. As for the name Jun Pei, I thought about it early in the morning. Do you think it sounds good?" Shen Wan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly explained.

After living a new life, she certainly knew that she would give birth to a daughter. As for the name, it was also chosen in her previous life. She was used to it, so she blurted it out.In the previous life, the daughter's name was Xiao Yulang. Together with her, she thought up a few names, wrote them on paper, and presented them to her in-laws, who then chose the name she thought of.

She thought, since she chose her daughter's name, it's okay to be called this name in this life.

Jing Lan re-pronounced "Jun Pei" several times, and felt that the name sounded nice, suitable for a girl, and very elegant.A name of this level can only be picked up by her eldest lady who is skilled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"Girl, this name is very nice, you got it really well." She praised.

"Lan'er likes it?"

"Like it."

"Great, you like Jun Pei's name, this is a good start. When she is born, we will raise this child together."

Shen Wan said with a smile while pulling Jing Lan's hand over to her slightly raised belly, and then asked Jing Lan if she felt Jun Pei's heartbeat.

Jing Lan was very curious about the little life in Shen Wan's belly, she really held her breath and put her hand on Shen Wan's belly, she seemed to feel it vaguely, but not very clearly.

Shen Wan said again: "I'll lie down in a while, you put your ears on my belly, and you'll hear me."

"Okay, I'll listen to it later." Jing Lan took her hand away from Shen Wan's abdomen, and took a handkerchief to water Shen Wan to bathe.

She noticed that as Shen Wan's abdomen swelled slightly, her breasts became fuller and more upright, and she became more and more sexy and mature.

Shen Wan let Jing Lan take the bath, changed into clean underwear, and then lay on the bed, waiting for Jing Lan to wash up and go to bed to accompany her.

Jing Lan went to bed, still thinking about listening to the heartbeat of the child in Shen Wan's belly, so Shen Wan lifted up her clothes, revealing her smooth belly, and asked Jing Lan to put her ears on it to listen.

"Bang, bang, bang..." waves of incomparably clear heartbeats reached Jing Lan's ears.

She said pleasantly: "Girl, I heard it. Sure enough, it danced so fast."

Shen Wan said: "In a few months, she will still be able to touch her, so that's great..."

She stretched out her hand to hold Jing Lan's hand, pulled her to lie down next to her pillow, then turned sideways to face Jing Lan, spread Jing Lan's palm on the pillow, and pressed her face on it, She murmured to Jing Lan, "Lan'er, I am pregnant with Jun Pei, and with you by my side, I only feel satisfied. How should I thank you?"

"Thank you? I'm not your... person? It's my job to be with you."

"It would be nice if I lived like this with you."

"Girl, why do you say that? It seems like we are going to separate."

"Lan'er, do you despise me? I'm not a perfect body. When I get a big belly in the future, I will still be ugly. After giving birth, it will be harder than before."

"I don't think so."

"Really?"

"It's true, you are beautiful even after giving birth to a baby. I like mature women."

"You don't think I'm your mother, do you?"

"Girl, what are you talking about? Can I like a mother who always bullies me?"

"Hehehe... I didn't hit you, that's not bullying."

"You sophistry, hum! See if I don't squeak you."

Jing Lan has been by Shen Wan's side for several months, and she also knows that she is ticklish, as long as she is tickled, she must be afraid, so she tickles Shen Wan's itchy flesh.

Sure enough, Shen Wan couldn't help laughing, begging for mercy while hiding.

The two quarreled in the tent for a while, and finally Shen Wan wrapped around Jing Lan like a snake, and Jing Lan stopped.

After stopping, Shen Wan kissed Jing Lan's side face and said no more trouble, go to bed, and go to the old lady tomorrow.

Jing Lan kissed Shen Wan back, and said that if you let me go, I will sleep.

Shen Wan asked Jinglan to close her eyes and sleep before letting go, otherwise Jinglan would scratch her as soon as she let go.

After arguing for a while, Jing Lan compromised, and she really closed her eyes. She wanted to pretend to be asleep and coax Shen Wan to let go, but she didn't know what happened and fell asleep.

When she woke up early the next morning, Shen Wan shook her arm, saying that her hand was about to be broken after being pressed by Jing Lan all night, and she lost all consciousness.

Jing Lan bit her lips and smiled, and went to help her rub her arm.

The two chatted and laughed for a while before getting up, Jing Lan helped her get dressed and combed her hair.

While she was combing her hair, a servant girl outside said under the window: "Madam sent servants to bring the girl jewelry and headgear. Madam asked the girl to dress up and go to Ronghui Hall to eat court food in a while."

Jing Lan went to open the door and let in the maid who brought in the headgear.

An Chun and An Dong came with the maid, they came to help Shen Wan get dressed, and seeing that Shen Wan had already put on her clothes and combed her hair, she knew that these were all done by Jing Lan.

Shen Wan went to Suzhou for only a month, but Jing Lan quickly learned how to dress and comb her master's hair. This made An Chun and An Dong a little unhappy, because they felt that their master didn't need them more and more.

However, Shen Wan still asked An Dong to do the head jewelry, for no other reason, after a month in Suzhou, she didn't have any head jewelry for Jing Lan to practice wearing, Jing Lan didn't know how.

After Shen Wan finished dressing up, Shen Jiao came down and stopped her, took her hand and said: "Yesterday I found out that you came back from Suzhou and came to look for you. Your maid said you were in Ronghui Hall. I don't think so. Auntie wants to keep you in Ronghui Hall, so she went back to rest. I hurriedly got up this morning and came down to look for you, where are you going now?"

"A-Jiao, my mother told me to go to Ronghui Hall to eat the court food. She is waiting for me. After talking about it for a while, I will go to see the old lady. After I see the old lady, I will talk to you again, okay?"

Although Shen Jiao is the second uncle's daughter, Shen Wan feels that Shen Jiao should not know what the second uncle did.Shen Jiao probably didn't know the reason why she returned to Shen's house in Jinling, so she didn't mention it to her.

Shen Jiao pouted, and had no choice but to say yes, she said that after Shen Wan left, she missed her very much, and went to the old lady every day to talk about when Sister Wan would come back.I don't know if her nagging has worked, it's fine if Shen Wan doesn't leave when she comes back this time.

Shen Wan patted her hand and said, "Thank you, Gillian, for thinking of me, and I miss you too."

Shen Jiao smiled: "Then I will go to the old lady to find you later, let's talk with the old lady together."

Shen Wan said yes, and then took Jing Lan and others to Ronghui Hall where her parents lived. Jing Lan and others served Shen Wan and Mrs. Yu to eat and drink a cup of tea. Mrs. Yu led her daughter Shen Wan Wan's hand went to Yannian Hall.

Jing Lan, Mama Xia and others followed behind.

In Yannian hall, old lady Li was sitting on the red sandalwood Luohan couch in the middle.

Sitting on the chairs on the left and right hands were the first and second masters of the Shen family, and behind them were several stewards.

Mrs. Yu led Shen Wan forward and bowed respectfully to the old lady. The old lady called out, and then went to work to call in Liu Zhuangtou, Qi Zhuangtou, and a few farm laborers who leased the Shen family's Suzhou land.

As soon as they came in, the old lady asked the irrelevant idlers to leave, including Xia's mother, Jing Lan, and others were invited out, and then asked to close the gate of Yannian Hall.

Looking at this situation is like going to trial.

Seeing the old lady like this, Shen Wan felt more relaxed. Her judgment was correct, the old lady didn't want too many people to know about it.After all, the news that the head of the Shen family embezzled the grain from the Shen family's fields was not good to hear.

The old lady Li immediately asked her eldest son Shen Chang to preside over the matter, and her second son Shen Xian to attend.

Shen Chang stood up, took out the letter written by Qi Yunping, asked Qi Yunping to come forward, and asked him if he had written such a letter to accuse Miss Shen of blackmailing them for 800 taels of silver.

Qi Yunping admitted this without even looking at it.

Shen Chang asked Liu Shiming again if Qi Yunping wrote the letter after discussing it with Qi Yunping.

Liu Shiming said yes.

Shen Chang then asked those farm laborers who leased the Shen family's land to talk about how much grain they rented and planted in a year, and then took out the account books of Liu Shiming and Qi Yunping, and the old manager Yan who went to Suzhou to escort the grain into the country every year. library records.

After such a comparison, it is easy to come to the conclusion that Liu Shiming and Qi Yunping privately embezzled the [-]-acre grain of the Shen family's Suzhou field, and even calculated how much the grain they privately embezzled over the years was worth in silver. It was about the same as the number Jing Lan had calculated.

Finally, Shen Chang asked Liu Shiming and Qi Yunping how to explain.

The two readily admitted how much money the two of them had embezzled from the Shen family's food, and said that they were willing to return the money they had been greedy for over the years.

Shen Chang originally thought that these two people were going to argue again, but he didn't expect them to admit it so readily and promised to return the silver taels worth of the grains produced in the Shen family's Suzhou fields that they embezzled.

He looked at old lady Li and asked her if she had any comments. If not, he would announce how to deal with the two bosses.

Old lady Li said no.

Shen Chang then announced that Liu Shiming and Qi Yunping would be dismissed from their positions as heads of Suzhou Xuetian and Yitian in Shen's family with immediate effect, and that someone else would be chosen to take over.And the money that the two of them coveted from Mo Shen's family must be returned within three days, and the steward of the Shen family will take people to collect it.

The old lady Li then asked someone to open the gate of Yannian Hall, and took Liu Shiming, Qi Yunping, and a few farm laborers from Suzhou who rented the Shen family's land to them.

When the door was closed again, Shen Xian reminded the old lady that Shen Wan had not dealt with the matter of Shen Wan accepting filial money from two village heads. Shen Wan's doing so was encroaching on private pockets and enriching the public.

After Shen Chang heard this, he said: "Second brother, can you wait a moment, don't be so anxious, I will announce how to deal with Awan."

Old lady Li asked Shen Chang to announce how to deal with Shen Wan.

Shen Chang then loudly ordered Shen Wan to withdraw all the 800 taels of silver from Liu Qi and Qi that he had received, and hand them over to the Shen family for the public treasury.She also said that Shen Wan would never do such a thing in the future.

This kind of talk is actually a scene talk. Liu Shiming and Qi Yunping, the two heads of the village, managed the Xuetian and Yitian in Suzhou for the Shen family for 15 years, and only made more than 600 taels of silver.In the future, even if the Zhuangtou of the Shen family's new sect wanted to honor Shen Wan, it would be impossible for him to give him money.

Shen Wan, after her father announced the result, of course said that she was willing to accept such a punishment.

Originally thinking that this matter was over like this, and that Shen Wan would soon return to Suzhou to live her poor life, old lady Li suddenly said: "I think, from now on, Suzhou Xuetian and Yitian will collect 600 catties per mu for storage. That is, the remaining half will be given to Zhuangtou and the other half to Wan'er. Also, although Wan'er collected the filial money from the two Zhuangtou in Suzhou this time, she was suspected of enriching her own pockets, but after all, did she dig out these two moths? , I recovered the silver taels that were embezzled by them for our Shen family. The total is 300 taels, no, I think, of which 800 taels will be rewarded to Wan'er. The 500 taels in Wan'er's hand don't have to be refunded. I will send [-] taels to Wan'er after collecting the silver taels withdrawn from the two village heads in Suzhou. Two moths should be rewarded."

"Thank you, old ancestor!" Shen Wan, who was standing under the hall, knelt down excitedly when she heard this, and respectfully kowtowed to Old Madam Li.

"Mother, you can't handle it perfectly." Shen Chang also said happily.

Mrs. Yu also knelt down next to her daughter Shen Wan, thanked her, and praised the old lady for her impartiality.

Only Shen Xian, who was sitting on the side, had an extremely ugly expression. He held the armrest of the grand master's chair tightly with both hands, as if he wanted to squeeze water out of the wooden armrest.

Co-authoring, he paid and laboriously planned such a project, but Shen Wan got the final benefit, 300 taels, and went from him to Shen Wan.

The author has something to say: Victory!The daily event is over!
