The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 185 Contract (1)
After the meal, the five brothers and sisters said goodbye to each other, and Brother Chun was about to leave.Brother Qiu and others decided to send Brother Chun to the gate of the city, but Shen Xuan stayed in the mansion.

"Lilac, what time is it?" Shen Xuan sat there and asked.

"It's three quarters of the hour, the eldest young master should be out of the capital right now, and the second young master should be back soon." Ding Xiang quickly replied.Ever since Brother Chun and the others left, Shen Xuan had been sitting there silently. Now hearing Shen Xuan's question, the four maids around her were relieved.

"Clean up, Ban Xia and Yun Shu will follow me to the General's Mansion. The three of you stay in the mansion. Uncle Bai will probably leave later. Give me some advice." Shen Xuan stood up and ordered.

"Yes." The five people responded aloud when they heard the order.

When Brother Qiu and the three returned to the mansion, Shen Xuan had already arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.

Because of Du Qingcang's departure, the General's Mansion was filled with dullness. Mrs. Du sat in the room and wept in a low voice. The sentimental atmosphere made it difficult for people to breathe fresh air.The maid next to her wanted to persuade her to say something, but she couldn't say anything. It was better to cry than to hold it in, so everyone could only stand there and accompany Mrs. Du quietly.

Lianqiao saw a little maid entering the courtyard.Seemingly reporting something, Lianqiao called the little maid to stop.After asking the matter clearly, he sent her away, turned around and went into Mrs. Du's room to report.

"Ma'am, Miss Shen came to see you?" Lian Qiao said while carefully observing Madam Du's expression.

"Who?" Madam Du wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and asked again, suspecting that she had heard it wrong.

"It's Miss Shen, the one who came to the mansion before." Seeing Madam Du stop crying, Lian Qiao knew that Madam Du was willing to see Shen Xuan, and quickly answered after hearing the question.Lianqiao was muttering in her heart: I didn't expect that Ms. Shen really had a heart. The eldest young master just left and knew that his wife was sad, so he immediately came to see her.

"Go and welcome in, you go in person." Mrs. Du was very happy when she heard Shen Xuan's arrival and quickly ordered Lian Qiao to greet her outside the mansion, and she wanted to go back to her room to clean up the makeup on her face.

"Yes, ma'am." Lian Qiao hurriedly responded after hearing Madam Du's order, and then walked towards the gate.

After the figure of Forsythia disappeared, Madam Du turned around and entered behind the screen, and rearranged her makeup.

Lian Qiao hurried to the gate, saw the carriage parked there, and went up to meet it from a distance.greet.

"My servant Lianqiao greeted Miss Shen, Madam sent my servant to welcome Miss Shen in." Lianqiao explained the reason.

"Thank you." Shen Xuan heard the voice outside the car, opened the curtain and replied to Lianqiao.

Afterwards, Shen Xuan got out of the carriage and walked to the General's Mansion.Passing by the concierge, Lian Qiao confessed: From now on, as long as Ms. Shen comes, there is no need to inform, just invite people in, and then they are walking towards Mrs. Du's courtyard.

On the way, Shen Xuan asked Lianqiao a few words casually, all about Madam Du.Not long after, a few people arrived at Mrs. Du's courtyard, without reporting, Lianqiao led Shen Xuan into the room directly.

Getting along with people is so strange, and this fate is also wonderful.Just because Mrs. Du and Shen Xuan saw each other rightly, Mrs. Du never forgot about Shen Xuan, and Shen Xuan didn't need to arrange the living room in the backyard when she came to visit, but directly entertained her in her own yard.

After Shen Xuan entered the room, she did not see Mrs. Du. The little maid who had already winked brought tea, and Shen Xuan sat there and waited quietly.After about a cup of tea, Madam Du came out from behind the screen.

Shen Xuan heard the sound.After seeing Mrs. Du, she quickly got up and saluted.Greetings, "Hi Auntie!"

"Okay, why are you free to come here today? I heard that your brother also went to the border with you?" Mrs. Du asked casually.

"Well, it's the elder brother of my uncle's family, who walked with elder brother Du." Shen Xuan simply replied, seeing Madam Du's red and swollen eyes, Shen Xuan was able to guess what Madam Du was doing behind the scenes just now. I don't want to talk about brother Chun's affairs for a while, so as not to make Mrs. Du feel sad again.

"Okay, with Qingcang, we can still take care of each other." Madam Du murmured, thinking of the danger at the border, it would be good to have someone she knows by her side.

"Auntie, I have something to discuss with you today." Seeing Mrs. Du who was about to fall into deep thought again, Shen Xuan quickly changed the subject of her inquiry.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Madam Du asked suspiciously, unable to think of anything.

"That's right, Auntie, I mentioned this to Brother Du before, and Brother Du asked me to come directly to discuss with you. This is a money-making business."

"Really, then you have to have a good talk with me." Mrs. Du asked with interest after seeing Shen Xuan's excited expression when she mentioned Yin Zi.

"During the first lunar month, there are vegetables sold outside the capital. I don't know if my aunt knows about this?" Shen Xuan slowly guided.

"I know, everyone knows about this, and the mansion never broke vegetables at that time. But, what does this have to do with earning money?" Mrs. Du asked Shen Xuan suspiciously.

"Auntie, to tell you the truth, I let someone plant these vegetables." Shen Xuan told Madam Du the truth.

"What? You really did it?" Madam Du was startled by the truth, and confirmed in surprise.

"Well, it's absolutely true." Shen Xuan answered calmly with a nod.

"Oh my God, it turns out that Xiaoxuan still has such a skill. She should have made a lot of money!" Madam Du knew that Shen Xuan was not lying when she saw Shen Xuan's expression. Exclaimed.

Before, Mrs. Du thought that the Shen family only had a small fortune, but she did not expect that Shen Xuan's words changed her perception.With a rough calculation, one can know how much money this green vegetable has earned, and that amount is quite huge.

"Hehe, I just made some money." Shen Xuan laughed and yelled.As for how much money she has earned, Shen Xuan will not tell others.

Shen Xuan had estimated the situation of vegetables in the greenhouse a long time ago. A greenhouse can make a net profit of about 1 taels of silver a month. Before that, Shen Xuan had earned a total of 20 taels of silver.

"By the way, Xiaoxuan said just now that she had something to discuss with me. Could it be about this green vegetable?" Madam Du saw that Shen Xuan didn't want to say more about Yinzi's matter and didn't want to delve into it anymore, so the topic of Yinzi stopped. Mrs. Du asked excitedly after remembering Shen Xuan's words just now.

The General's Mansion has long been unable to make ends meet. If it is really a partnership to grow vegetables, then the General's Mansion can be regarded as having a fixed income. How could Mrs. Du be unhappy.At this moment, Mrs. Du has been attracted by Shen Xuan's words, and the sorrow caused by Du Qingcang's departure has also faded a lot.

"That's right, I'm here today to discuss this matter with my aunt. I've already planned to grow vegetables in other places this year. Why don't I come to find my aunt to join my business?" Shen Xuan gave Madam Du a clear answer.
