Allure of a Country Maiden

Although the meal cost Shen Zhuang almost ten taels of silver, she felt that she had not lost much when she thought that she had already bought several thousand taels of things.

I'll go shopping on another street tomorrow to see what's suitable and make up for today's losses. Also, I have to go out early tomorrow and go back to Shengpinghou Mansion for dinner! She is not willing to spend another penny to eat a steamed bun outside!

As mother-in-law, Shen Zhuang returned to Shengpinghou Mansion for the first time with her daughter-in-law Li, talking and laughing.

When they arrived at the house, how many of them were still thinking about whether the things had been delivered?

Have the third child and his family settled the bill? They can't just pay the bill, right? It would be so embarrassing if you didn't pay the bill when someone else's store brought something to you.

When the concierge saw them coming back, he greeted them respectfully and let them in.

Everything was calm.

Seeing this, several people breathed a sigh of relief. They were all relieved just now, and now they are happy after relaxing. They have been shopping for so long, and those stores must have delivered their things. Now there is nothing wrong. The concierge's behavior It’s also normal. It seems that the money must have been paid!

They each returned to their own courtyards. As soon as they sat down, Zijing and Liu's maid Jasmine came over and invited them to the front yard living room.

"Who is looking for me? I just came back and the stool is not warm!" Shen Zhuang said dissatisfiedly. She was really tired after shopping for a day, and she was also a little worried that the third family would come to her because of what happened today. Settlement of accounts.

"I don't know, this slave girl, Miss Xiao'er said she is a noble person!"

Noble person? After hearing this, Mrs. Shen Zhuang's face looked a little better. It must have been a lady from a noble family in the imperial capital who came to visit and knew she was here, so she specially invited her to say hello to her.

Shen Yuzhu and Shen Zhuang thought of one place, "Mom, let's go there quickly. It will be good for us to get to know the ladies and ladies of the imperial capital."

Mrs. Shen Zhuang stood up, straightened her skirt, raised her head, and walked in front of the maid with an air of arrogance.

Shen Yuzhu also tidied her hair and hurriedly followed, holding Shen Zhuang's hand, and went together.

On the way, I met Li's mother and daughter, and they happily went to the front yard to meet the distinguished guests.

When Mrs. Shen Zhuang and Mrs. Li arrived at the reception room, the "nobles" waiting here saw them both holding things in their hands and rushed forward. They all said the same thing:

"Old Madam Shen, Second Madam Shen, and the two Miss Shen, I have been waiting for you! Here are the things you bought, and here are the receipts. You should quickly check and pay for them!"

Several people were dumbfounded after hearing this.

Mrs. Shen Zhuang was the first to attack: "Didn't I ask you to send it here and go to the cashier to settle the bill? Why are you looking for me!"

One of the waiters, still smiling politely, explained: "Old madam, we did as you said, but Mrs. Shengpinghou and County Lord Ruian told her that the Shengpinghou Mansion had just moved to the imperial capital and there was no accounting room in the house yet. .”

"There is no accounting room, so wouldn't you ask Mr. Liu for money?"

Those guys are not stupid either, Mrs. Liu is probably Mrs. Shengpinghou.

"Mrs. Shengping Hou said that when they came this time, there were still many things at home that they had not yet explained, so they did not plan to stay in the Hou Mansion permanently. It was not safe to bring too much money when going out, so they only brought the money necessary for food, clothing, housing and transportation. If we don’t have so much money, we can help the old lady and Second Madam Shen advance. Let us wait for you to come back.”

Mrs. Shen Zhuang was dumbfounded. Will he wait until she comes back to pay? How could she have so much money? Not to mention giving it all, she didn't even have enough money to give her just one piece of clothing!

She didn't bring any money with her when she went out. She planned to eat the third child, so why not use it for the third child?

"Old madam, please hurry up and pay the money. We have been out for a long time. If we don't go back, the shopkeeper will think that we are lazy."

"Ms. Liu, you are a murderer of thousands of swords. Who will believe you if you don't have money!" Shen Zhuang cursed bitterly and then said to the guys: "You go to Mrs. Liu for money. I don't have any money. If she doesn't If she gives it, I will go to the emperor and accuse her of being unfilial!"

There was a guy who didn't want to do it anymore, and he became rude to me! I spent a long time here, hoping to get a reward for delivering the goods, but now I can forget it if I don’t get the reward, but I don’t have any reward for the things I brought? This is just to make fun of them!

"Old Madam, Mrs. Shen Er! Are you making fun of us? What are you buying without money? What kind of garlic are you pretending to be!"

"Didn't I ask you to go to Mrs. Liu and ask for money? She is the Marquis of Shengping, and she has a lot of money! What are you shouting about? It's not like you don't want to pay!" Mrs. Li shouted back.

"Who in the entire imperial capital doesn't know that Marquis Shengping was born as a farmer? How rich can his family be? They brought you to the imperial capital out of concern for their blood ties. You can't harm them like this! You bought thousands of taels of things and gave them to Marquis Shengping. Your idea of ​​paying money, is this because you want to bankrupt someone?"

"No, relatives like this are really blood-sucking leech!"

"Why would Marquis Shengping bring such a person to the imperial capital? Isn't this embarrassing for him?"

"Fortunately, I don't have such relatives in my family, otherwise I would just hang myself from a tree!"

…

"Okay, let's go. It's really a wasted trip, and we'll have to be scolded by the shopkeeper again when we get back."

Liu and Xiaoer also appeared at this time.

Mrs. Shen Zhuang's face turned the color of pig's liver after being talked about. When she saw Mrs. Liu, she didn't care about anything and hurriedly cursed: "Mrs. Liu, you are such a black-hearted and dirty bitch, hurry up." Pay the money, or I will go to the emperor to accuse you of being unfilial!"

"Mom, don't be angry. I brought all the deeds to the Hou's Mansion. Our family comes from a mud-legged background and has very little financial resources. But if you really like these things, let's mortgage the Hou's Mansion. This is a reward given to us by the emperor, and it is probably worth several thousand taels." After saying this, Mrs. Liu actually took out the house deed.

After hearing this, the guys hurriedly shook their heads: "Mrs. Shengpinghou, please don't do it. We don't dare to take it even if you dare to resist it. This is a gift from the emperor!"

"No, I have never seen a woman like this. She is so vain that she needs her son to mortgage Yuci's house to give her clothes and jewelry!"

"My mother, I bought her a good dress, but she said it was too much money. She doesn't need to wear such good clothes at her age. If I were a mother like this, I wouldn't dare to go back home!"

…

"Let's go. It's unlucky for us. We meet a guy who has no money to pay but still pretends to be a big-headed guy, making our trip in vain!"

"No, let's go. I'll definitely get scolded when I go back!"
