Chapter 158 Whoever attracts the money will pay for it
  Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Huang looked at Shen Zhuoxi with expectation.
  "I'm afraid it won't work. Although the store is in my name, the money is not under my control." Shen Zhuoxi said in confusion: "And the store has enough manpower."
  "Zhuo Xi." Mrs. Jiang put away her smile, and the displeasure on her face was obvious: "I didn't educate you, but you refused to give jewelry and pulled out the Queen Mother and His Highness King Yu. We have nothing to say."
  "Now I just want you to find a job for my uncle and the others, but you have repeatedly shied away from it. People, you can't forget your relatives when you are prosperous. We also helped your mother when Zhongyi Hou passed away."
  "That's right, the second young lady's behavior is a bit like burning bridges." Huang took the opportunity to say: "When your mother became an orphan, we still worked hard to help organize the funeral."
  "You have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but you are only willing to give us a mere twenty taels. Is this what humans do?"
  His predecessor had very few memories of the time before he was five years old, and Shen Zhuoxi had no way of knowing anything else.
  But she could also guess that with how greedy and shameless this family was, they would never really help Princess Xiaoqing with anything, and asking for money under the guise of helping with funeral arrangements was more than enough.
  Thinking of this, she smiled: "If you don't believe me, you can go out and ask about what's going on in the medical center and the restaurant. I can also find a way to get you in."
  "It's just that I can't guarantee what will happen after entering."
  Mrs. Jiang glanced at the empty Qingfeng Building, frowned and said: "That's okay, it's not good for us to eat and drink here all the time. Ask your uncle and cousin to go first, and then ask your aunt after we get familiar with each other." go."
  "Okay, I'll send someone right away to tell you that the medical clinic won't work." Shen Zhuoxi took a sip of tea and said, "You haven't learned medical skills, so just go to the restaurant. It just opened."
  "What manpower is still lacking? I have to ask the restaurant owner before I can decide. I will give you an answer tomorrow."
  Several people were talking, but Jiang Chunyan had no choice but to look around in boredom.
  Huang noticed her movement and said, "Chunyan, what are you looking at?"
  "I want to go upstairs and have a look." Jiang Chunyan whispered.
  "Go." Mrs. Jiang said across Shen Zhuoxi: "It's okay to take a look."
  This was too much to treat him as an outsider. Shen Zhuoxi looked at her coldly, knowing Jiang Chunyan's plan, and told Hui Zhi: "You accompany Miss Cousin up."
  Dragonfly kept a hand, and when she saw a few people coming in front of the window, she immediately put the jewelry box away, leaving only some worthless hairpin beads and flowers outside.
  The purpose of Jiang Chunyan going upstairs was to find some jewelry in Shen Zhuoxi's makeup box, which would be useful when she went out later.
  She pretended to look at it, walked to the makeup box, and said, "What kind of jewelry does my cousin usually wear?"
  Huizhi glanced at the slightly empty dressing table and understood, and prevaricated: "Most of the lady's jewelry are here."
  "Oh." A trace of contempt flashed in Jiang Chunyan's eyes.
  The dignified second lady of Taishi Mansion only wears these junk things, nothing valuable at all?
  Just as she was thinking about it, her eyes lit up, she picked up a pair of lavender jade earrings and said, "This is beautiful."
  Then he said, holding it to his ear and gesturing: "It just matches my clothes."
  What Jiang Chunyan was interested in was the set of lavender glazed jade given to her by Xian Muling pretending to be Yu Mu.
  Previously, Yu Mu said that this set of jade stones was fake, but Shen Zhuoxi didn't care. Even when she later learned from the Queen Mother that it was a tribute from the Rongqing clan, she forgot to tell her maids.
  When Dragonfly collected it, he thought it was worthless, so he put it in the box.
  Unexpectedly, Jiang Chunyan was the real deal, and she fell in love with it at first sight.
  Just as Huizhi was about to stop her, Jiang Chunyan had already put on the earrings: "They look good. I'll go down and tell my cousin."
  He also picked up two pairs of silver bracelets, a gilt hairpin and some beaded flowers.
  Huizhi stood next to the dressing table and sighed deeply - all the relatives in this family, old and young, are shameless.
  Downstairs, Shen Zhuoxi and others were talking about the same thing. The rain was gradually getting lighter and had a tendency to stop.
  "Cousin, do you think I look good wearing this?" Jiang Chunyan said as she rushed downstairs and twirled around in front of several people happily.
  "It's quite suitable." Huang said with a smile, "It matches your clothes."
  "Yes, it's small and exquisite." Mrs. Jiang pretended not to know, and said: "Such a small pendant is definitely not worth anything. Zhuo Xi, you can give it to your cousin."
  You can't find many lavender glazed jade in the whole Dongchen. Even though this pair of pendants is small, they are still worth a lot of money!
  However, Shen Zhuoxi didn't want to wear something that had been touched by others, so she suppressed her nausea and said, "I'll give it to you."
  "And these." Jiang Chunyan spread her hands and said, "You have a lot of jewelry in your makeup box. I just picked a few. Don't mind."
  "Take them all." Shen Zhuoxi waved his hand and said.
  "Thank you, cousin." Jiang Chunyan said, still not satisfied: "There are too few jewelry in your makeup box. Come with us to buy some later."
  "It's enough." Shen Zhuoxi said lightly, "You don't need to buy too much."
  "Huh?" Mrs. Huang turned her head and looked outside: "The rain has stopped, Zhuo Xi. We haven't been to Shengdu for many years and have long forgotten what it looks like. Why don't you take us out for a walk?"
  Shen Zhuoxi had expected it a long time ago and did not refuse, saying: "Okay, I'll ask someone to be taken to the carriage."
  After heavy rain, the air is filled with the freshness of earth and green plants.
  While still on the carriage, Huang and Jiang Chunyan couldn't help but lift the curtains and look around. The shops were overwhelmed and they flashed by before they could see clearly.
  Before they had gone far, Huang suggested: "You can't see anything from the carriage, why don't we get off and go for a walk."
  Shen Zhuoxi ordered the driver to stop the carriage, and the grandfather and grandson got out first. Shen Zhuoxi only saw their figures hurriedly entering the silver building.
  "It's so shameless." Huizhi spat and said, "It's clear that I want you to be taken advantage of!"
  "Whoever attracts the people will pay for it." Shen Zhuoxi smiled: "I won't pay this bill in a haphazard manner."
  "What are you waiting for? Come here quickly!" Mrs. Jiang was worried that she would not get off the carriage, so she came out of the silver building and greeted her.
  When Shen Zhuoxi went in, several people had already picked out jewelry. There were about ten pieces in total, and several of them were made of pure gold.
  When the shopkeeper saw her, he came up to her and said, "Miss Shen Er, these guests have chosen a lot of things, totaling one thousand two hundred taels of silver, and they said they would be recorded in your name. Look..."
  "They are guests of the Grand Master's Mansion, and they will be recorded in the name of the Grand Master's Mansion." Shen Zhuoxi smiled and said, "I will send the bill to the Mansion later, and someone will pay the bill."
  Mrs. Huang remembered Yu Qinglian's words and said, "This is not good. We are a family and we need money from the Taishi Mansion."
  "There's nothing wrong with it." Shen Zhuoxi looked at the boss and said, "Wrap everything up."
  With Shen Zhuoxi's words, the three of them completely let go.
  After selling the jewelry, I bought clothes, and after buying the clothes, I bought rouge and gouache. Along the way, I had at least nearly ten thousand taels of silver.
  Mrs. Jiang was still thinking about Shen Zhuoxi's restaurant, so when lunch time came, she directly asked to go to her restaurant for dinner.
  Several people did not go back, and the bill arrived at the Taishi Mansion first.
  When the housekeeper received the bill, he was dumbfounded and quickly sent a thick stack to Yu Qinglian.
