The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 231 Shen Xuan returns to Beijing (3)
The three brothers and sisters chatted for a while before going back to their rooms.Brother Qiu and Brother Dong went into the study to review their homework.When Shen Xuan returned to the courtyard, she called Qinglian and the others to question her.

"Qinglian, how is your account book?"

"Miss Hui, the maidservant can already read some simple ledgers." Qinglian answered quickly when she heard the question.Before Shen Xuan left the capital, she had given her instructions on this matter.

"Well, I will check randomly when I have time. Now that Lilac is back, you have to continue to study." Shen Xuan reminded.

"What happened in the mansion recently?" Shen Xuan asked Ban Xia and Yun Shu.

Hearing Shen Xuan's question, the three maidservants looked at each other, wondering if they should tell Shen Xuan about it, and finally Banxia couldn't help but replied, "Miss, there is something that the maidservants don't know what to do." Shouldn't you say it?"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Seeing Ban Xia's hesitant appearance, Shen Xuan had doubts.

"It's about the servant girl next to the third young master. Not long ago..." Ban Xia talked about the matter of serving the book.Zhiwu described it to Shen Xuan endlessly, including the results of Brother Qiu's handling afterwards.

"I know, let's leave it as it is." After listening to Ban Xia's description, Shen Xuan said calmly.Since my brothers didn't tell me just now, let's turn this matter over, Shen Xuan thought so.

"How do you guys get along with Nanny Ding?" Shen Xuan specifically asked, even though she and Nanny Ding had already confessed to each other.

"Miss Hui, Nanny Ding gets along very well with the rest of us, and she also tries her best to teach us. Nanny Ding still wants to recognize Banxia as her goddaughter!" Yun Shu said, and finally revealed A little secret.

"Really?" Shen Xuan asked Ban Xia.Hearing Yun Shu's answer and seeing the expressions on several people's mentions of Nanny Ding, Shen Xuan was able to estimate the degree of harmony between them, and some worries in her heart could be relieved.

"Miss Hui, there is indeed such a thing. It's just that the maidservant did not agree. The maidservant has been with the lady since she was a child, and she wants to hear the lady's advice on this matter." Banxia explained to Shen Xuan.Ban Xia is devoted to Shen Xuan, not wanting to affect the feelings of master and servant because of other things.

"Being able to be spoken to by Nanny Ding. It is your blessing to think that you are a daughter. You don't need to report such things to me, you can do what you think in your heart. Nanny Ding has no children, and this move is probably because you want to Find someone who can take care of the elderly." Shen Xuan heard the meaning of Ban Xia's words, and persuaded her.

"Your maidservant knows." After Banxia received Shen Xuan's answer, she let go of her little thoughts.

"The two of you, don't be jealous of Banxia because of this matter. It's not because you are bad that Nanny Ding didn't choose you. Both Qinglian and your parents are there, and Yun Shu is also very good. It's just that everyone has their own eyes. "Shen Xuan reminded Qinglian and Yun Shu that she didn't want them to have conflicts because of this matter.

"Miss, don't worry, we won't be jealous." Qinglian and Yun Shu hurriedly promised without any false expression on their faces.

"By the way, how are the strawberries I ordered you to plant?" After dealing with this matter, Shen Xuan remembered something and asked in a blink of an eye.

Before leaving the capital, Shen Xuan accidentally found strawberry seeds in the space.Give strawberry seeds to a few of them, tell them how to plant them, and let them try planting.After that, Shen Xuan left the capital, and she didn't know how she looked now.

"I went in to see it yesterday, and it seemed to be blooming, but the flowers were relatively small." Yun Shu replied.

There are several unused yards in the backyard. They obeyed Shen Xuan's order and reclaimed the land in one of the yards to build a small shed.Every few days, they will go to check.The current growth is still relatively good.

"Really? I'll go and have a look tomorrow." Hearing Yun Shu's answer, Shen Xuan was very happy, and replied briskly.Unexpectedly, the first trial planting was successful, and thinking that there would be fresh strawberries to eat in a month, Shen Xuan's mouth secreted saliva.

Shen Xuan forgot that the seeds were soaked overnight in dense spiritual water, even the worst seeds would take root and germinate after such a process.The growth is gratifying.

After returning to his own place, after relaxing physically and mentally, the fatigue of many days of traveling began to show. Just after Xu Shi, Shen Xuan's upper and lower eyelids began to fight.The sleep in the afternoon was not enough to replenish Shen Xuan's spirit.

Realizing her own difficulties, Shen Xuan sent them to retreat.After a few yawns, Shen Xuan lay on the bed again, hugging the soft quilt.Feeling the warm heat, Shen Xuan quickly fell asleep.One night without dreams, one night until dawn.

The next day, Shen Xuan took Ban Xia and Yun Shu out of the mansion and ran all the way to the hot pot restaurant.

Shen Xuan first checked inside and out: the restaurant on the second floor has been renovated, the tables and chairs have been replaced with new ones, and the hot pot tools made by the blacksmith are also ready.In a word, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and what is the so-called east wind?

"How's the green vegetables on Zhuangzi growing?" Shen Xuan asked Shen Xue.

"I went to see it two days ago, and it's ripe for picking." Shen Xue replied respectfully to Shen Xuan.

"Well, here are some recipes for meatballs. You give it to the kitchen and let them make a batch first. Have you checked the date, when is it better to open?" Shen Xuan continued to ask.

"There are two good days in the near future, one is the eighth day of the day after tomorrow, and the other is the fifteenth day of November." Shen Xue then replied that he had checked these days specially.As a shopkeeper, you must arrange everything well and know what you know.

"Has the sauce been delivered?" Shen Xuan continued to ask after remembering something.Since handing over the matter of the sauce to the General's Mansion, Shen Xuan seldom asked about it.

"It's here. According to the young lady's order, I have already contacted there before."

"Hurry up and get ready. The opening date will be the day after tomorrow. Leave three boxes for me." Shen Xuan ordered.

"Yes. Miss, do you think we still need to invite a troupe to sing?" Shen Xue asked.

"Theatrical troupe?" Shen Xuan asked suspiciously.

"That's right! Other shops will invite theater troupes to come when they open, making a fuss with gongs and drums. Now that the weather is cold, everyone is staying at home. If our shop doesn't have a good gimmick when it opens, I worry that not many people will come... ..." Shen Xue described his worries.

"Ah, I actually forgot about this matter." Shen Xuan patted the top of her head with her hands and said, she had already made plans in her heart but forgot to tell her subordinates about the plan, no wonder Shen Xue was worried.After calming down, he said to Shen Xue, "That day, a distinguished guest came to our door. He is the current prince and the backer behind our store. If someone comes to make trouble after the store opens, you should call out the name of the prince."
