Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 8
Nanny Li is her dowry maid, and she has been her most capable confidant for so many years, so no matter what happens at home, the old lady will talk to her.

Old Mrs. Shen glanced at her, gently stirred the tea leaves with the tea bowl, sighed softly, and said, "I'm thinking about the eldest girl, this time flies by quickly, she has been back for more than half a year .”

Nanny Li originally wanted to mention Shen Yuechen's matter, so she said: "Miss did a great job today, to be honest, this old servant was a little surprised."

In fact, not only Madam Li was surprised, but even the old lady was also surprised. She never thought that Shen Yuechen would handle it so gracefully that no one could find a single fault.I thought she was a child who grew up in a temple, with a withdrawn personality and rarely seen outsiders, so she must not be generous enough in speaking and doing things.

However, the old lady snorted softly through her nose with some dissatisfaction, "Steady is steady, but she is not thoughtful enough. Look at her well-dressed attire, she is really shabby, it is like hitting me in front of outsiders." face."

To be honest, compared with Shen Yuechang and Shen Yuexuan's gorgeous outfits, as the daughter of the Shen family, she is indeed dressed in a bit shabby style today. The clothes she wears are extremely simple, and the fabric is the same as that used by the maids to cut clothes, and there is almost no difference. She didn't have any jewelry on her body, and her long black hair was only tied with a ribbon, not even a hairpin.

Hearing this, Nanny Li's heart tightened, she felt that the old lady seemed to be blaming herself a little bit, since she went to invite Shen Yuechen over in person just now, she should be reminded to dress up properly.

"Old madam, please allow this old slave to speak for the young lady on this matter. When the old slave went to the South Side Courtyard just now, it happened that the young lady was about to have lunch. The old slave glanced at the table, Seeing that there is only a bowl of plain noodles and a few cold dishes on the table, it looks very simple. The eldest girl prays to Buddha and eats vegetarian food all the year round, and her life is light, so it is reasonable that she doesn't like to dress up."

Before she could finish her sentence, the old lady said: "She has five taels of silver in her monthly bill, which is quite a lot. Since she came back, no matter whether it is food or use, this family has never treated you badly." She, who does she always put on a pitiful look for?"

"Yes, what the old lady said is true..." Nanny Li responded lightly, paused for a moment, and then said: "But just now, the old servant accidentally caught a glimpse of the scriptures copied by the eldest girl, and Zhang Zhang used the best ones. Huixuan, it's probably expensive."

Hearing this, the old lady took a deep look at Nanny Li, took a sip of tea and said, "What's wrong with you today?" It's so good, why do you keep saying good things for her? "

Nanny Li hurriedly said: "This old slave doesn't want to speak for anyone, but just tells Madam the truth about what he saw with his own eyes."

She is the person who manages the housework, and she knows very well what kind of temperament the servants and maids in the inner courtyard are, so she doesn't need to ask too many questions, and she expects that Shen Yuechen's life will not be too easy.

Shen Yuechen's biological mother passed away early, and she was not favored by her elders, and she didn't have any money left, so the servants naturally wouldn't regard her as a serious master.Although there is still a monthly allowance of money, but since the second grandmother took over the family affairs, I heard that they often procrastinate on purpose, and sometimes even dare to withhold the money in private.

Nanny Li is an old man of the Shen family. She has a high position and authority, and she always pays attention to fairness and justice in her work. Rules are rules, and what should be done is what should be done.Shen Yuechen is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, no matter how unfavorable she is, she cannot always be bullied by the servants. Moreover, if outsiders find out about it and spread it out with embellishments, the Shen family will lose face in the end.

Nanny Li looked at the old lady's expression, and continued: "Looking at the situation today, the second wife of the Zhu family seems to like the appearance of the eldest girl very much. Three days later, at the flower festival in Zhu's residence, Madam, do you want to bring the eldest girl with you? "
