Wear It with Space

Mrs. Hou’s flower appreciation banquet was held for the youngest son’s marriage. When Shen Ling was sitting in the carriage of the Guogong Mansion, several carriages had already parked in front of the Zhongshun Hou Mansion. Looking at the appearance of those carriages, Shen Ling knew that most of the guests who came were from a declining family of honorable families. Think about it, Shen Ling's third brother doesn't like to read books and has no fame and will not be able to inherit the title in the future. People who fancy him are not much better.

Mrs. Shizi, who was receiving guests at Suihuamen, was very happy. Shen Ling knew that when she met Madam Hou's mother Han, that Madam Shizi's maiden brother was ranked second in the test this year, and he was waiting for the next palace test.

At the next flower viewing banquet, everyone's topic was also inseparable from the test that was just released. Shen Ling glanced at the wife of the world who was surrounded by a few wives, thinking that the relationship between Shen and this sister-in-law before marriage was quite good. , I don’t know if she will help find a private school gentleman. After all, her family is a scholarly family, and she is indeed much better at reading than their noble family.

So when the flower viewing banquet was over, she returned to the Guogong's mansion, and Shen Ling began to search for suitable gifts for her sister-in-law in her small warehouse. If you give gifts that are too heavy from your family, the other party will definitely not accept them. But if it is too light, it seems that you are not sincere. After searching for a long time, Shen Ling finally chose a tea set and added another two catties of tea.

A few days later, Shen Ling returned to the Zhongshun Hou Mansion again with tea sets and tea leaves. He first greeted Mrs. Hou, and then took the maid to the yard where his sister-in-law lived.

Mrs. Shi Zi understood Shen Ling's intentions, and smiled: "So, are you planning to let Pei Zhi go into office?"

Shen Ling said: "That's not true. But it's always good to read two more books. Even if you have an errand in the future, you will also have something to say with your colleagues."

The wife of the world said: "My younger sister is a sensible person." Then he sighed, "Pity your two direct brothers but don't have this knowledge, so don't talk about your eldest brother. From the third brother..."

Shen Ling had long learned from Madam Hou that his third brother was not satisfied with the young ladies who came to the house, and was determined to find a fiancee with a good family background and beautiful. Madam Hou simply ignored her after being angry.

Shen Ling sighed with Mrs. Shizi, and after receiving a reply from her willingness to help, he left and returned to the Guogong Mansion.

As soon as I settled down in the upper room, the people underneath came to report to the Imperial Palace and sent two women over to send some cherries from the Zhuangzi and some snacks.

The Prince's Mansion is the in-laws of the grandfather's concubine. Although the grandfather's family only has these two brothers and sisters, the relationship between the two is not very good. In the past few years after Shen's marriage, she has rarely seen this aunt's grandmother take the initiative to send someone to deliver things.

She thought about it for a while and asked someone to take the two women to the upper room.

The two wives were both in their forties and walked in to make a salute, and Shen Ling asked them how well the concubine was. The two wives naturally said yes, and also said that when the concubine sent them, they asked them to take them to the masters of the Guogong Mansion. I don't know if the nephew and niece are taller, but it is a pity that she is obsessed with mundane affairs and cannot come to visit in person.

When Shen Ling heard this, she felt thoughtful. After the two wives had left, she ordered someone to find out what was new in the Royal Palace. The person who inquired about the news came back soon, saying that Shizi, the prince of the county, had hired a concubine. I heard that this concubine not only had a beautiful face, but was also good at singing and dancing.

Shen Ling had guessed that this was the case, but she didn't want to intervene in the aunt's affairs, so she called Aunt Lian to give her a few words.

When I woke up early the next morning, Aunt Lian came over and said to her in peace, "The Lord Guo said, his sister has to be strong temperament and loves face. Even if the elder son dotes on his concubine and destroys his wife, we can only hear that we have not heard it. I'll talk about everything when she comes back and asks us to be the master."

Shen Ling couldn't help but sneered in his heart, and came back to find who is the master, but if the government of the country has a little bit of power, the married girl will not be bullied to this point.

Although this aunt has no feelings with her, as long as you think about the situation Yuru may face in the future, Shen Ling feels that not only for the task, but also for the girl from the Guogong Mansion, he has to make a good plan for the Guogong Mansion.

Half a month later, Shen Ling’s sister-in-law, the wife of the Zhongshun Hou Mansion, brought her good news. A private school gentleman who was born in a juren was sent to Hubei because his original owner was sent to Hubei. He didn’t want to follow that far. He stayed and was looking for the next home. Hearing that Mr. Guogong was looking for a private school, he planned to come and teach for a few days with the idea of ​​trying.

Mrs. Shizi said that this gentleman is very picky about the disciples he teaches. He is too mischievous and doesn't teach, is stupid and doesn't teach, and doesn't teach the uninhibited ones, even if the family members are too doting and don't teach. After hearing so many requests from this gentleman, Shen Ling felt that since he dared to make so many requests, she must have some abilities.

After the husband arrived, Shen Ling turned the idle study room of the Guogong Mansion into a private school, and also cleaned up a small courtyard for the husband, with two small servants.

A few days later, both the host and guest were very satisfied. Peizhi, although this student is not very smart, he is good at obedient, which pleases her husband very much. However, Shen Ling knew that this gentleman was of good level by looking at Peizhi's homework, so she let go of her heart.

According to the outside market, Shen Ling gave this gentleman two hundred taels of silver a year for repairs. In this way, the expenses of the house became tense again.

In the autumn, Shen Ling took a look at the ledger. At the beginning of the year, the eight thousand taels of silver that Zhuangzi had handed over to the shop at the beginning of the year only left less than one thousand taels of silver. There are still several months before the New Year, not to mention the Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, and Laba Festival.

It seems that throttling cannot solve the government's financial problems, especially when two more aunts and a husband are added to the government, the money saved is immediately subsidized elsewhere.

Since the festival is not popular, let's open source!

While Shen Ling was busy looking for a suitable shop, Aunt Ji was listening to the response from the people below, "Are you sure this news is true?"

Hanyan said: "The maid named Xiaohong beside Aunt Lian had been favored by me before. She said Aunt Lian hadn't changed for two months, and heard that Aunt Lian and her confidant Xiaochan said that they have waited for three. I'll tell Madam Yue to know."

Aunt Ji snorted coldly, "After three months, she has a good calculation." She called Hanyan to her and gave a few words carefully.

Shen Ling inquired for several days and finally found a suitable shop. The annual rent was five hundred taels of silver, which was still within the scope of the Shen family. Even the people from Zhongshunhou's Mansion knew it and wouldn't doubt it.

The location of the shop is a little to the west, surrounded by the houses of lower-grade Beijing officials. Although their spending power is not as good as that of the noble family, it is still much higher than that of the civilian areas. Shen Ling felt that his dim sum shop could go to the middle and low grade first, and when he became famous, he would open another one on the busiest street.

After reading the shop and returning to the mansion, Shen Ling retreated from the space and took out several pastry-making books from the space. These books were bought when she wore to the modern world. In addition to the pastry-making books, there are several recipes and Lots of novels. As for books on the subject of invention and production, Shen Ling wanted to buy it, but the system issued a warning to ban her from buying those professional books, and Shen Ling had to give up.

Shen Ling transcribed the methods of making more than a dozen pastries into a pamphlet, and then wrote down several pastries he had eaten in the UK and Paris, and asked Pearl to call her companions come. Compared with the people in the Guogongfu, Shen Ling believed in her companion house more, at least their selling deeds would always be in her hands, and it would be more at ease to use them.

The family from the two rooms from Zhongshunhou’s house totaled eleven people. Shen Ling told them about his plan to open a dim sum shop, and asked them if they would like to go to the shop to help. The monthly money would be better than that. There are many times in the house. If done well, there will be dividends at the end of the year. When these people hear that there are so many benefits, they naturally say yes.

Shen Ling let the two young daughters-in-law stay behind to learn how to make pastries. When several people were busy in the kitchen, Pearl came in and said that Aunt Lian was pregnant and had a fetal gas.

When Shen Ling arrived at Yuexuan, Doctor Tang had already been invited and said, "It's nothing serious, I will prescribe some anti-fetal medicine and just take a few pairs."

After the doctor left, Shen Ling asked Aunt Lian what was going on. It turned out that Aunt Lian used lunch today and planned to go to the garden to relax. She didn't know that she felt slippery before she reached the garden. Fortunately, Xiaochan helped her in time. I didn't fall too hard, but I still felt uncomfortable in my stomach. After I invited the doctor, I realized that I was pregnant.

Shen Ling looked at her expression and didn't know anything. At the moment, someone was asked to investigate why someone spilled something on the way from Tingyuexuan to the garden. At the end of the investigation, all the evidence pointed to the smoke beside Aunt Ji.

Aunt Ji did not hesitate to push the smoke out and clean herself. This little hoof hooked up with the grandfather of the country in front of her several times, really thinking that she was too muddy. It's just a pity that the child in Aunt Lian's belly could not be removed by her, and the two-bird strategy was only half successful.

After the accident, Aunt Lian became more cautious in her diet and daily life. Shen Ling looked at the children in her stomach and assigned her an experienced mother.

It's just that in her pregnancy, Grandpa Guo had gone to Aunt Ji a few times, and Shen Ling felt that for the balance of the inner courtyard, he should give Grandpa Grandpa another concubine, so as to share the favor of Aunt Ji. It's just that the three big maids beside her didn't have the aspirations of Aunt Lian, and Shen Ling couldn't force them, so he put the matter down for the time being, and let Aunt Ji be proud of her for some time.

When Aunt Ji spoiled her alone, the two young wives had already learned about a dozen kinds of pastries. When Shen Ling tasted the cakes they presented, and felt that the taste was very close to those he had eaten in later generations, he chose a lucky day to open it.

Shen Ling's dim sum shop is different from other shops in that the pastries offered are all unseen on the market. In addition, when the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, the store launched more than a dozen mooncakes with different fillings and different shapes, which immediately beaten the fame.

Two months later, the shop's business was booming. Especially those soft pastries, such as cakes and egg tarts, are especially popular with the elderly and children. People who buy these two types of pastries have to queue up every day.
