Chapter 157 Things are going to change
  Huang hadn't recovered from the shock of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so she shook her head and said, "I didn't say anything."
  "You have just arrived, so you probably haven't talked about money yet." Yu Qinglian said with a smile: "The second young lady won the first prize at the Mid-year Banquet. The rewards from King Yu alone are all rare things."
  "Second Miss is not a stingy person. If you are a relative, she will definitely give it to you."
  "Okay." Mrs. Huang said hurriedly, "I'll go and ask tomorrow, so I won't bother the eldest lady."
  "Where are you talking about?" Yu Qinglian said in greeting, "It's not a good idea to be more lively. You can go to Qingfeng Tower to find the second lady when you have time."
  After the others went out, Yu Qinglian put away her smile and told Aunt Yuan with a stern face: "Take out the chairs they sat on and wash them. I think they are dirty!"
  "Yes." Aunt Yuan responded and said, "Does your method work?"
  Yu Qinglian snorted coldly: "The dishes for lunch and dinner come one day at a time. How can greedy people like them endure it? Otherwise, what do you think they, mother and daughter, are doing here?"
  "I only need to provoke him a little, and it will be enough for Shen Zhuoxi to suffer!"
  Aunt Yuan sighed: "The young master still had the foresight to send someone to look for Jiang Chao's family before he came back."
  "Tell the maids from Dongkeyuan to keep an eye on them. If necessary, respond to those who should be attacked." Yu Qinglian sneered: "This time, Shen Zhuoxi must not be allowed to escape!"
  Mrs. Huang didn't know that they were all knives in other people's hands. After getting the news, she hurried back to Dongke Courtyard and said as she walked in: "We were all deceived by that little bitch. She has hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on hand!"
  "Hundreds of thousands taels?" Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Chao exclaimed at the same time.
  Mrs. Jiang asked anxiously: "Are you mistaken? She is a girl, how can she get so much money?"
  "The Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness King Yu rewarded it." Huang said through gritted teeth, "This damn girl obviously has money, but she only gave us twenty taels, and she reluctantly said she would go back and collect it."
  "Moreover, she also has a restaurant and a pharmacy under her name, which are both profitable businesses!"
  "It seems that she still has some thoughts!" Mrs. Jiang said with a face, "These things will become ours sooner or later. I will go and beat her up tomorrow!"
  Shen Zhuoxi sat by the window reading a book and sneezed several times in a row.
  Zhuye quickly poured hot tea and said with concern: "Miss, please help me close the window."
  Dongkeyuan arranged other maids, and Zhuye came back, leaving only Zhuzhu to serve him.
  "It's not the window." Shen Zhuoxi raised his eyes to look at the moon in the sky and said, "It must have been sunny for about ten days."
  "No, if it doesn't rain, even the ash on the ground will be dry." Zhuye also looked out the window: "If it rains, it can at least relieve the heat."
  "The weather is going to change. It will definitely happen tomorrow." Shen Zhuoxi stood up and said, "If I am not at home, you should be more careful and don't let people from the East Guest House take advantage of the opportunity to come in."
  "Yes." Zhuye felt strange: "The moon is so beautiful tonight. Judging from the sky, it won't rain tomorrow."
  "Yes." Shen Zhuoxi closed the window: "I hope it's sunny, otherwise the family won't be able to go out and they will definitely come to our Qingfeng Building."
  Shen Zhuoxi's guess was absolutely correct.
  It started to rain early the next morning, and within a short while it became pouring.
  Shen Zhuoxi was reading a book upstairs when he saw several people walking quickly from a distance.
  Zhuye also saw it and sighed: "Miss, you are really good at predicting things. If you say it is raining, it will rain, and if you say someone is coming, you will come."
  "Go downstairs. You'll come up later and dirty my place." Shen Zhuoxi closed the book and said, "They will definitely stay at my place for a meal later. The meal will be simpler."
  She went downstairs, and Mrs. Jiang and others just arrived.
  "Oh, your Qingfeng Tower is so far away that it has to go out of the west courtyard wall!" Old Mrs. Jiang wiped the rain off her body and said, "The new clothes I just wore yesterday are all soaked through!"
  It was raining heavily, and even though the distance was not very far, the umbrella didn't cover much.
  Mrs. Huang followed: "Although it is summer, it is so windy and you will get cold if you wear wet clothes. Second Miss, can you see if there are any clothes in the house and find some for us?"
  Shen Zhuoxi told Zhuye: "Go and find the unworn clothes in the box next to the cabinet."
  What she said was given to her by Han Xiangru before.
  Zhuye also knew it, and soon he and Huizhi came out carrying the box.
  Before the box was opened, Mrs. Huang took the first step and said, "We can do it ourselves."
  "This was given to me by my previous second wife." Shen Zhuoxi introduced: "I have never worn it once. If you like it, take it."
  The clothes Han Xiangru gave her were not of bad material, but the colors were a bit tacky.
  But in the eyes of Jiang Chunyan and Huang, these colors are beautiful. There is a set of purple ones that Mrs. Jiang can also wear.
  The three of them put on their clothes and came out with smiles on their faces.
  Mrs. Jiang checked the layout of Qingfeng Building back and forth, shook her head and said, "The second young lady is the legitimate daughter of the family, why don't you even have any decent ornaments?"
  She even doubted whether what Huang said was true or false!
  Huang also had doubts and said, "It's much better in Madam Madam's house than this."
  "You guys also went to Bihe Garden?" Shen Zhuoxi pretended not to know and asked, "Last night?"
  "Yes." Mrs. Huang paused and said dissatisfied: "The dishes tonight are too confusing. I went to ask the eldest lady, but I didn't expect the eldest lady to say..."
  Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Jiang glanced at her and said, "The eldest lady is kind and promised to add another dish."
  Yu Qinglian must have told Huang something, and most likely, it was the money Shen Zhuoxi had.
  Shen Zhuoxi guessed about it and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is indeed kind. She is fine at home. If you are fine, you can go to Bihe Garden to find her. If you have any requests, she will definitely agree."
  "It's not good to go all the time." Mrs. Jiang looked at Shen Zhuoxi: "After all, we are relatives. The eldest lady is your father's second wife, so we are separated by a good layer."
  "Yes." Huang agreed: "Zhuo Xi, we are a family, don't hide anything you have."
  "Is there anything I can hide?" Shen Zhuoxi pointed to the box containing the clothes and said, "It was like this when the second lady gave it to me. I will give it to you intact."
  "What are clothes? There are also jewelry." Huang rolled his eyes and said, "I heard that you have so many jewelry that you can't even finish them. Why don't you give us some?"
  "I want to give them too." Shen Zhuoxi said with helplessness: "But many of them were given by the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness King Yu, and they cannot be re-gifted at will. Otherwise, when the rain stops, how many of them can we buy?"
  "Okay." Old Mrs. Jiang responded: "I heard that you also have a restaurant and a drug store. Are they short of manpower? Your uncle, aunt, and cousins ​​are all idle, and they always have to find something to do. .”
  Arrange people first to get a general understanding, and then taking over will go smoothly without having to ask others for advice.
