The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 298 Returning to Sand Village (2)
Because Xueyan is a little maid, she always comes to Shen Xuan when she has nothing to do, Shen Xuan will remember her after a long time, and occasionally let her handle some small errands.In the eyes of the other two maids, it was Xueyan who fell into Shen Xuan's eyes. Because of the different treatment, it aroused envy and jealousy, so the two teamed up to bully Xueyan.

Last time, it was because the two of them locked Xueyan in the room that there was a situation where the servant girl entered the backyard and no one reported it.Afterwards, after Ban Xia found out the situation, all three of them were reprimanded, and now they have become much more disciplined.

"Well, you guys can figure it out. If you still can't change it, you can just send it out of the house." Shen Xuan replied casually, not paying attention to the affairs of those little maids.With money, what kind of maid you want to buy can't be bought!
"Yes, servant girl remembers." Ban Xia replied, thinking in her heart that she would convey Shen Xuan's meaning to the three little maids later, if she didn't abide by the rules, she would be ready to be kicked out of the mansion, other places But he didn't feel comfortable staying in Shen's residence.

The conversation between the master and the servant came to an end, Shen Xuan turned her eyes back to the book, and Ban Xia silently accompanied her.

In the afternoon, Brother Qiu and Brother Dong, who had gone out to meet friends, also returned to the mansion, and the whole family gathered for dinner.After the meal, everyone didn't let go, but sat there drinking tea.Digesting.

"We are discussing that we are planning to go back to our hometown in a few days, what do you guys think?" Father Shen put down his teacup and said.

"Go back to your hometown?" Shen Shuoxing exclaimed.

"I'll go back with my second uncle and my aunt." Brother Dong said yes, and then explained, "I haven't been back for two years. I originally planned to go back this year for the New Year. It just so happens that the classmates who should get together these days are also getting together It’s over, and there’s nothing else to do now.”

"I also agree with my parents, it's time to go back to the village to have a look." Brother Qiu replied.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Shen Xuan quickly said, "Then go back, there is nothing else to do in the capital anyway."

"Well, you guys are making arrangements for the things at hand, and we will go back in five days." Father Shen issued the final notice, knowing Brother Qiu.Brother Dong and Shen Xuan both have their own properties, so they specially arranged things for them.

Brother Qiu and Brother Dong accepted Shen Xuan's kindness a year ago, and Brother Qiu took the recipe for wine making.Brother Dong took that gourmet recipe and opened a restaurant.The private property of the two is now well-managed. Although it is not as profitable as Shen Xuan's, it is very good compared to others. There are about 10,000+ silver bills in the account a year.

After discussing the business, everyone dispersed. They went back to their rooms and thought about how to arrange their property. They needed to sort out their thoughts first.

The next morning, Shen Xuan took people to Zhuangzi's place, told Zhuangtou about planting strawberries again, and reminded him of all the precautions that should be taken.On the way back home, I still went to the other courtyard and the hot pot restaurant Shen Xue to give instructions.

On the third day, Shen Xuan stayed in the mansion, found Bai Ming, handed over the affairs of the mansion to him, and also reminded a few things about giving gifts to other mansions on the New Year's Day.Shen Xuan made a list of the annual ceremony, and after that, Bai Ming only needs to make the arrangements.

On the fourth day, Shen Xuan entered the study, made a series of arrangements for the hidden guards, and paid more attention to the matter of the Xiuyi Pavilion.Just after noon, four imposing young men left the city. They were the secret guards arranged by Shen Xuan to leave first.

In the afternoon, the whole family got together again. Father Shen asked everyone if the matter at hand was arranged properly. After receiving an affirmative answer, Father Shen and Mrs. Zhou felt relieved.In the past few days, their husband and wife have prepared the carriage and gifts for their families.

On the morning of the fifth day, just after dawn, there was movement in the entire Shen residence.After packing up, the two carriages left.Going back this time, Shen Xuan, Mrs. Zhou and two maids, Ding Xiang Ban Xia, are in a carriage, Father Shen.Brother Qiu.Brother Dong.Shen Shuoxing had a carriage, and the servant Mingyan and Ban He happened to act as grooms.

Facing the rising sun, the two carriages slowly drove out of the city gate and headed towards the sand village thousands of miles away.Of course, before leaving the capital, they had already written to their hometown, informing them of their return.

Such a scene is being staged in a mansion with a profound heritage in the capital.

"Go back to the master, the person sent to inquire has returned." The servant reported to a middle-aged man respectfully.

"Quickly, what's the matter?" The middle-aged man asked aloud.

If Shen Xuan was here, she would recall that this middle-aged man was the man who watched their family at the end when he went to the examination room to pick up Brother Qiu and the others.If Brother Qiu and Brother Dong were here, they would know that this middle-aged man was Brother Qiu's examiner, and he had spoken to Brother Qiu and Brother Dong after the exam.It was because of the conversation with this middle-aged man that Brother Qiu and Brother Dong delayed a little when they walked out of the examination room gate.

"Master, the Shen family left Beijing two days ago, it seems that they went back to their hometown for the New Year." The servant replied.

"That's it, you go down first." After hearing the servant's answer, the middle-aged man said, waving his hand to signal the servant to leave.

After receiving the order from his master, the servant retreated knowingly, leaving the middle-aged man to meditate alone.The middle-aged man's surname is He and his name is Xiaoyu. He is the second master of the He Mansion.

The He Mansion is a real Qingliu family. At present, apart from the old lady, only the family of the elder He Xiaoling and the family of the second master He Xiaoyu live in the mansion.Elder Master He Xiaoling is a cabinet bachelor from the second rank, while He He Xiaoyu is the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Officials, a civil servant of the third rank, and is in charge of official assessment.Selection and other responsibilities.

Master He Er was assigned to invigilate the exam before. During the inspection of the examination room, he saw Brother Qiu's answer sheet, and he agreed with Qiu Brother's font and the opinions he expounded. He also saw Qiu Ge's appearance, and thought that there was a second daughter at home who was married at the right age. , Master He Er's thoughts came alive.

After the exam, Master He Er sent someone to inquire about Brother Qiu's situation in private, and the more he inquired, the more satisfied he became.They have standards for selecting daughters-in-law and sons-in-law for these Qingliu families. Although the family background of the Shen family is not high at present, it is also good for this point. At least the married daughter will not be troubled. The most important thing is Brother Qiu. The potential is huge, and at this time Brother Qiu is the number one son-in-law candidate in Master He's heart.

"Master." Mrs. He Er came in and called out to Master He Er.Mrs. He Er came here to inquire about the news. About Brother Qiu, Mr. He Er and Mrs. He Er have mentioned it in private. Although they are reluctant to marry their daughter, it is good to marry into those self-proclaimed famous families.The mansion is a mess inside.

"Why are you here?" Master He Er raised his head and asked his wife.

"The concubine is here to inquire, what happened to what the master said?" Mrs. He Er replied aloud, observing the expression on the face of the person in front of her while speaking.
