Chapter 101: Drunk (Part 1)
The Shen family banquet was held two days later
The banquet was suggested by Old Shen Furen herself, the previous annual faed by Ren Wan Yun, but this year it was handled by Chen Rou Qiu Now that the ement power of the Shen family landed onto Chen Rou Qiu’s hands, Old Shen Furen naturally felt that this was giving Chen Rou Qiu a big face but did not know that behind the glorious appearance, it made one miserable
In Qiu Shui Yuan, Chen Rou Qiu was sitting in front of a table holding an accounting book in one hand and the other hand ardly calculating on the abacus The twobehind spoke out, “Furen, you have been calculating for an entire afternoon, it is better to take a break”
“The money just cannot seem to tally” Chen Rou Qiu shook her head in distress, “To has to coer appeared on her face
Chen Rou Qiu had flaunted herself as a noble female from a scholarly family, and thus was proud and aloof and could not bear the s when Old Shen Furen handled the household power to Ren Wan Yun, it was not that she was not jealous inside but she could not bring her face down to fight, thus at the end there was a knot of it in her heart After so many years of troubles, she became the matriarch of the Shen faerasp
Ren Wan Yun was from a wealthy merchant family and normally when Old Shen Furen wanted to spend more money, Ren Wan Yun could subtract it from her ory since she did not lack money But the Chen family were only civil officials, if one were to speak positively, it was that breeze flowed into their sleeves (aka unsoiled by corrupt practices) but if one were to speak negatively, it was that they were poor, thus how could they be able to fork out ht that by taking over the ement power, she would be able to divertat the situation, Ren Wan Yun had been fishi+ng a lot for sobooks did not tally at all Now that the fah silver
It was still alright previously as Shen Xin would receive a generous reward from the Palace every year But now that Shen Xin and the Shen family relationshi+p was in a deadlock, there was no opportunity for the public funds to subsidise, thus Chen Rou Qiu felt some headache
“Obviously knowing that there was not enough money in the public fund, Old Furen still want to hold the fa Furen” Chen Rou Qiu’s nant for her
“Eldest Master also intend to do nothing to save one froh, why not ask Master for some?” Hua Yi also said
“What nonsense are you saying” Chen Rou Qiu said, “Master’s salary is not enough to bribe in the official circles, how can one ask him to fork out money?” She continued, “Let me think of what to do” Shen Wan set his heart to climb up in his official career but Shen Gui was different Shen Gui bit off more than one could chew and he did not have any ability thus could only fawn and curry favour to keep up appearances Shen Wan was clih his steps were slower, he was much more practical than Shen Gui
Chen Rou Qiu always knew that because she was unable to give birth to a son, the only thing she could rely in the Second household was Shen Wan’s love for her Thus in order to control Shen Wan, she was gentle and soft but if she was unable to resolve the small amount of money in the household then would it not be troublesome for Shen Wan? With Shen Wan’s qualification, there were lots of fe to enter the Second household so ould she put herself at a disadvantage
“Moreover, this little money will not be spent in vain” Chen Rou Qiu’s eyes flashed, “If there are profits to be harvested than it is worth to spend”
“Furen’s intention is…”
Chen Rou Qiu se that Old TaiTai did not hold the family banquet earlier or later but at this time Moreover, I had heard that in previous days that SuZhou Biao Young Lady likes to head to the Western courtyard…” Chen Rou Qiu’s eyes showed a trace of disgust as she spoke, “Old TaiTai’s action are really low level but… It is suitable I also do not like Shen Qiu”
Chen Rou Qiu did not like Shen Yuan and similarly did not like Shen Qiu If one were to say that she was a bit fearful of Shen Yuan but about Shen Qiu, she really looked down upon hiive birth to a son so she could not see other people’s son being outstanding Towards Shen Qiu, Chen Rou Qiu only felt that he was a coarse person who only know about swords and knives, for what reason he could gain so much praises fros that they were unable to gain, and she dare not take action on Shen Yuan as he had deep thoughts but Shen Qiu was straightforward and honest Moreover he had not grown up in the inner courtyard so he waswas that she did not even need to do it herself, as this time the person who took action was Old Shen Furen and she only need to sit back and watch the show
“I will go back and write a few more invitations” Chen Rou Qiu said, “Go and find people to send the invitations to the various Furens’ residences” It would be even better when more people come to watch
Two days later at the Shen residence's family banquet
Ever since Ren Wan Yun went crazy, those noble Furens had broken the exchanges with her After all it was not a glorious thing for one to have a young lady who got pregnant before h one did not knohat happened to Ren Wan Yun, when the tree topples the monkeys scatters so no one asked about Ren Wan Yun
And those Furens that originally had a good relationshi+p with Ren Wan Yun gradually got closer with Chen Rou Qiu Even though one could not keep dealing with Ren Wan Yun but the relationshi+p with the Shen residence still had to be maintained There was not only one Furen in the Shen residence, but as co capital Luo Xue Yan, Chen Rou Qiu as from a scholarly family and was much better to fawn over
Yi Furen and Jiang Furen had long ca Xiao Xuan and Yi Pei Lan pulled Shen Yue to speak, “One can only go back to Guang Wen Tang after the end of the year It is really boring to be lock in the residence”
They had totally forgotten about the death of Shen Qing as they chatted, and also forgotten that just not long ago they were good friends of Shen Qing The friendshi+p between the Ding capital noble females were that thin, as friendshi+p could not be co with another was not just because of a person but the forces present behind the person
Shen Yue also smiled at their response, as if the few of theet about Shen Qing’s ure and said, “Oh? Who is that? Is that the Biao Young Lady that you all were talking about?”
She pointed with her chin to the young fe a si to a servant by her side
“That is Third Younger Sister, Shen Dong Ling” Shen Yue said with a s and previously was sick so she did not come out It is natural for you all not to see her before” She deliberately focused on the word ‘YiNiang’
Hearing this, Jiang Xiao Xuan's and the rest's eyes suddenly filled with disdain Yi Pei Lan said, “What sickness?, she still… She still ca all have hidden intentions You must not be swindled by her”
Shen Yue ser Sister does not really come out of the courtyard Look at that, that is my Biao Older Sister”
As Shen Yue was speaking, she saw Jing Chu Chu walking over Most likely she did not see Shen Yue and the three of thereet It was Bai Wei’s sharp eyes that asked in puzzlement, “Did not you mention that your that Biao Older Sister is from SuZhou? Why do I just see that her clothes and jewellery see, it is better than the one you are wearing”
Bai Wen said it unintentionally but Shen Yue’s face paled and she barely forced a sifted by ZhuMu”
