"Madame Liu?"
When Yang Zhao saw Nanny Liu coming into the room, he put down the book in his hand and slowly tried to get up from the couch.
Madam Liu hurriedly stopped her, "Madam, there's no need to get up. This old servant is just here to deliver something to you on your behalf."
After saying that, Madam Liu placed the large wooden box in her hand on the low table in the middle of the couch, opened the box, and directly revealed the thick stack of silver bills inside and various valuable gold and jade articles and land deeds underneath.
"The old lady asked me to bring a message to you, saying that she would try her best to find a good official position with real power for the master. If possible, the master also needs your attention."
What it means is that Shen Li is the primary one, and Master Shen is secondary.
It's clear the old lady wanted to secure official positions for both her children and grandchildren, but knowing her own son's talents were mediocre, she prioritized her outstanding grandson, Shen Li. This old lady is truly shrewd!
"Madam, the silver notes alone are worth a hundred and twenty-three thousand taels. If you add these treasures and land deeds, it is estimated to be around two hundred thousand taels." Dong Shuang said after counting the treasures in the wooden box.
"Two hundred thousand taels?"
Yang Zhao raised the corner of his lips. "It's a huge investment, but since the old lady was able to come up with so much at once, she must have some on hand. There's no need to rush, it's just the beginning!"
"Then what should the servants do next?"
"Early tomorrow morning, let Xia Ying 'secretly' go to those places, and then..."
"Let someone pass the news to the Chen family. Hasn't Uncle Chen always wanted to join the Ministry of Personnel? When he knows there is this opportunity, he will definitely let my aunt come back." Yang Zhao said with a chuckle.
Dong Shuang smiled and said, "I understand."
At this time, Xia Ying came in with a bowl of medicine.
"Madam, I just went to the kitchen and heard Mrs. Wen say that before Liu Ma left, she gave her a prescription. She said it was a new prescription that Doctor Li had given you to regulate your body."
Xia Ying put down the medicine bowl and handed the prescription to Yang Zhao.
Yang Zhao didn't take it, "It doesn't matter. When the time comes, just have a maid go and get the medicine with the prescription."
She knew what the old lady was thinking without having to guess. She just wanted her to continue to mess up the Shen family. If she was always sick, how could she worry about her?
As for the power to manage the family, even if the old lady had the idea, she probably wouldn't dare to act at the moment. After all, her children and grandchildren haven't secured official positions yet, so she needs to maintain good health to manage the situation.
In fact, if you think about it, the most greedy and shameless person in the Shen family is none other than this old lady, but she just hides it very well on a daily basis!
If one day, the greed and shamelessness deep in that old man's heart were completely released, or even magnified infinitely... wouldn't that be particularly interesting...
Xia Ying took the prescription back. Only then did she remember the prescription the little monk had given her two days ago. "Madam, there was a little monk two days ago, he..."
“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law…”
Before Xia Ying finished speaking, Shen Nian's voice was heard outside.
The two maids in the room immediately frowned.
Xia Ying had heard a lot from Shen Sulan and her personal maid before...
"Sister-in-law."
As soon as Shen Nian entered the room, she wanted to go to the soft couch in the warm room with red eyes.
But she was stopped outside the screen door by Dong Shuang, "Sixth Miss, Madam's body cannot stand the cold right now. You are very cold now. Please come over here with me to cool down."
Being stopped by someone, Shen Nian was unhappy in her heart, but on the surface she pretended to be well-behaved and sweet: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sister Dong Shuang."
After a while.
Finally, Shen Nian came to Yang Zhao. Her watery eyes were filled with tears, and she looked so pitiful. "Sister-in-law, I heard you caught a cold again. I've always wanted to come visit you, but the gatekeeper outside always won't let me in. Sister-in-law, are you feeling better now?"
"Sit down."
Yang Zhao put down the book and gently patted the soft couch beside him.
Then he said to Dong Shuang and Xia Ying, "Go collect all those boxes first!"
"yes."
Two maids went over to tidy up the box on the table inside.
Shen Nian took a look and his eyes widened instantly, staring straight at the thick banknotes and various exquisite jewelry in the large boxes.
"Sister-in-law, that is..."
"Just now, the old lady asked Madam Liu to send some silver and money, as well as some of my dowry jewelry. I plan to have Xia Ying take them out and exchange them for silver."
At this point, Yang Zhao seemed to have thought of something and waved towards Dong Shuang: "Dong Shuang, bring the box in front of you over."
Winter frost brought the box.
The box was very large, and inside were some very exquisite jewellery of all kinds, and each one looked very beautiful, especially the peach blossom tassel headdress with pink gemstones on the top.
Shen Nian couldn’t move his eyes away from her.
She has always loved jewelry, but in order to cater to Yang Zhao, who likes simplicity, she dares not wear too many jewelry every time she comes to Qinyuan. Now she only wears a plain pearl hairpin in her bun.
Yang Zhao seemed to notice her gaze and asked, "Do you like it?"
Shen Sulan subconsciously withdrew her gaze and shook her head and waved her hands; "Sister-in-law, don't get me wrong, I just thought that the pink jewelry was very special, so I took a few more glances at it." But her eyes were still fixed on it.
Yang Zhao smiled, his smile doting: "You kid!"
She took out the pink peach blossom tassel headdress from the box, removed the red hairpin from her head, and put the headdress on her herself. Then she asked Dong Shuang to bring a bronze mirror, placed it in front of her, and said with a smile, "The peach blossoms are young and radiant. Sister Nian, do you think it looks beautiful?"
It’s more than just beautiful!
