Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 363 The Secret
Pretentiousness is the most feminine behavior Mrs. Shen despises.

But it was someone else's child anyway, Madam Shen would not be embarrassed verbally, she just said: "Since your father has come to pick you up..."

"My father just came to discuss the marriage with Madam, so he took me back along the way..." An Xuan's forehead was dripping with sweat, and her voice was trembling: "Madam, just take pity on Xuan'er..."

Madam Shen was suddenly angry.

What does Miss An mean?If she forbids her to stay in Shen's residence for a long time, will she be hard-hearted?
Mrs. Shen supported her forehead, and said after a long while: "This matter is not up to me. It's getting late, so let's talk about it later. At this time, it's time to have lunch first."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Shen winked at Bi Liu.

Bi Liu understood, stepped forward to help An Xuan, nodded her chin slightly to the other two maidservants, and softly said to An Xuan who was still trembling: "Miss An, don't be impatient, are you hungry now? If there is anything, it is not too late to talk about it after lunch."

What An Xuan was about to say, Bi Liu interrupted her calmly and said with a smile: "Madam's calculations are accurate, just now Miss An's stomach is singing empty plans."

Even though Mrs. Shen was not happy, she was also amused by Bi Liu's words, and continued: "Then hurry up and order the kitchen to serve."

"Yes."

Bi Liu replied, and took the lead to help the half-embarrassed and depressed An Xuan out the door, her movements were almost forced.

Li Xin was surprised, Bi Liu looked very weak, but she was quite strong.

But when it comes to age, Bi Liu is indeed three or two years older than An Xuan, and she is a bit taller.

Mrs. Shen shared lunch with Li Xin, but she left aside her serious future daughter-in-law.Although Li Xin saved herself the embarrassment of eating at the same table with An Xuan, she still felt a little uneasy in the face of Mrs. Shen's warm hospitality.

After lunch, Li Xin tried to ask Madam Shen.

"Madam wants to expand the scale. I wonder if there is any arrangement for personnel?"

"If the manpower is insufficient at that time, we can buy some servants back. Or, we can recruit workers." Mrs. Shen rinsed her mouth with tea, spit it into the spittoon, and said lightly: "As long as it is profitable, the world will flock to it. The wages offered by the Shen family have always been quite high, and there will be no shortage of manpower when the time comes."

Li Xin nodded, and asked again: "What are the conditions for Madam to recruit a job?"

"Fine and quick, it's enough if you don't steal and play tricks." Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "It's not good to be too strict with people invited from outside. If you sign a contract and become a servant of the mansion, if you commit a crime If you make a mistake, you can learn a lesson. However, as a temporary worker or a permanent worker, after all, it is only because you pay money and he works for you. The Shen family has a big appearance, and it is lenient to manage the family, so naturally it cannot be underestimated."

Li Xin nodded again, and Mrs. Shen asked curiously, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Li Xin thought about it in his heart, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he returned to Madam Shen and said, "To tell you the truth, I met Madam by chance last time in Fuman Building. After returning, my sister-in-law asked me why I knew each other. I told my wife that I had done a business with her, and I heard my wife talk about the workshop, so I thought about it. Recently, she and her uncle came to the town to discuss life, and wanted to ask me if I could help her. Let me know, is there a shortage of workers in Madam's workshop, and if there is a shortage of people, can she fill the gap?"

Li Xin didn't mention anything about other Guan family matters, but this remark was to the point.

Mrs. Shen thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "It's not a difficult task, even if you have siblings, you can put her in as much as you want."

"No need madam." Li Xin said hastily: "If you are siblings, you don't need to spend money to support an idler..."

"It's not an idler. Could it be that your sister-in-law doesn't work at all when she comes here?" Mrs. Shen laughed and said, "There are really three or two people missing. Well, just bring your sister-in-law here. At that time, I will let Han Kui's wife arrange it."

"Then thank you ma'am."

Li Xin gave a slight salute, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.This matter went smoothly, but where did she go to find Hu Yueying to tell her the news these two days?Guan Quan and Hu Yueying just left without making a sound...

After chatting with Madam Shen for a few more words, Li Xin looked at the sun, thinking that today's affairs are almost done, he found an excuse and said: "Madam, it's getting late, I won't bother Madam now. "

Mrs. Shen was slightly startled, and asked about Bi Tao's time, and then she smiled and said: "I just dragged you to chat and then I forgot the other things. You must have something to do at home."

After saying that, Mrs. Shen got up and said: "I am also a little tired from sitting, why don't I give you a ride, just to loosen my muscles and bones."

That's what Mrs. Shen said, but Li Xin couldn't let her see her off, so she declined, but Mrs. Shen still insisted. Li Xin had no choice but to let Mrs. Shen go to the side corner door with her—— It's a shortcut.

To be honest, Li Xin actually dislikes this kind of "shortcut".Every time in such a place, either the maid and the mother-in-law gossip and talk about some "secrets" in the mansion, or encounter some things such as the mother-in-law beating the maid, the older maid bullying the younger maid, etc.The last time she talked to Mrs. Shen in Shen's mansion, she also met Xue Qian and Mr. Shen.

It can be said that she has some psychological shadows.

However, today's journey went smoothly, but if she can make it to the end, it would be fine if she just let her leave the Shen residence.

Seeing that he was about to leave the second door, Li Xin told Mrs. Shen not to see her off, and was saying goodbye to Mrs. Shen with a smile, when a nanny in charge bumped into her without any thought, her face was panicked, she looked quite panicked, He was stunned when he bumped into Li Xin, then turned his head to see Mrs. Shen, but suddenly knelt down, and said in a trembling voice, "Husband, madam, please forgive me..."

Mrs. Shen wanted her to be more careful when she walked in the future, and not to be reckless, but she was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and immediately swallowed back the words she was about to say, and snorted calmly, "Excuse me?"

The nanny's face immediately turned pale, and her lips trembled: "Husband, madam, it's none of this, it's none of the old slave's business!"

Mrs. Shen's face was slightly cold, and said: "It's none of your business, so whose business is it?"

"This is..." The nurse in charge cried and knelt down on the ground, "Madam, please spare this old slave!"

Li Xin's face was embarrassed, thinking in his heart, could it be that he encountered some secret of Shen's residence again?

Li Xin moved slightly to the side, coughed lightly and said, "Madam's house still has important matters, so I won't bother you any more."

Mrs. Shen looked at Li Xin, and Li Xin looked outside the mansion, and said: "There are still some things to deal with at home, thank you Madam for your hospitality today."

Mrs. Shen also withdrew the sullen look on her face, and asked with a faint smile: "Is there a way to go back? I'll ask Bitao to call you a carriage."

"No ma'am, I've already made an agreement with someone in the same village who owns a car, and I can get in the car and go back now."

Li Xin thanked Mrs. Shen for her kindness and saluted her, then restrained her pace and walked towards the second gate.

After turning a corner, her eyes could not see, but she could hear a sound coming from her ears.

"You are the nanny in Eighth Young Master's room, right? You look pale with panic, could it be that something happened to Eighth Young Master?" This was Bi Tao's unkind voice.

"Eight, eight young masters..." This was the vibrato of the nanny.

"What happened to Eighth Young Master?" Mrs. Shen's voice came over again: "You called the young man to come to the mansion again to talk about drama?"

……

Li Xin couldn't hear the voice behind her clearly, but the two words in the words still touched her nerves sensitively.

A "young master" and a "little lady".

Li Xin stepped out of Shen's mansion quickly, and the woman guarding the corner gate smiled at her flatteringly, Li Xin smiled at her too, thinking in his heart, it seems that since the incident about the nanny, the servants of Shen's mansion The overall quality of the work has improved a lot.

Leaving Shen's residence in a hurry, looking back at the grand mansion, which made her feel a bit cold at the moment, although it was magnificent, Li Xin involuntarily stretched out her arms and shook her arms.

When going around Qianjie, one must bypass the gate of Shen's house. Just as one walked past the gate of Shen's house, one sees a sedan chair bearer carrying a sedan chair towards the gate of the residence. Open, Master Shen came out, walking in a hurry, and asked the concierge in front of him as he walked, "Master An's leaving?"

The concierge immediately said respectfully: "Go back to the master, no!"

Master Shen smiled and said: "That's just a coincidence." He said to the servant dressed as a butler on the side: "Order the kitchen to tidy up a table of wine and food, and I will have a drink with Master An today!"

"Yes." The butler replied immediately.

Master Shen seems to be very concerned about Master An's coming to the mansion to discuss the marriage, which is quite different from Mrs. Shen's performance.

Li Xin couldn't help but think that when she heard Mrs. Shen scolding Fourth Master Shen angrily, Nanny Xia once persuaded her, mentioning in her words that Fourth Master Shen was the sharpest of Master Shen's heart.

Mrs. Shen was not enthusiastic about Fourth Master Shen's marriage, but Master Shen showed great importance, as if he was afraid that Fourth Master Shen would never be able to marry a wife again if this marriage was ruined.

Before lunch, Mrs. Shen ordered someone to ask the housekeeper to inform Master Shen about Master An's coming to the house. It didn't take too long, but Master Shen, who was said to be negotiating business with someone, was in a hurry The land rushed back and didn't even talk about business.

It can be seen that he attaches great importance to Shen Siye's marriage.

This matter fell on Mrs. Shen's heart, I'm afraid it will be extremely uncomfortable, right?
Third Master Shen was also not married. Third Master Shen refused to listen to persuasion, and Mrs. Shen was helpless. How could there be no resentment in Madam's heart?

It is rumored that the husband and wife of the Shen family are deeply affectionate, and there is no third person intervening between the two. The loving couple is envious of others... This is only a rumor after all. The real situation, as far as she sees, is that Master Shen treats others with love. How Mrs. Shen is is another matter, but if she is Mrs. Shen, she must have a lot of love for her husband, but now there are only a few points left.

Li Xin turned to the street, and there were people coming and going on the street, and the teahouse where Guan Wen was located was the nearest place to the street.

She saw him as soon as she turned the corner.

Li Xin couldn't help feeling a little warmth in his heart, and walked towards him with a smile.
