"Ten taels."
Xia thought she had misheard: "Ten taels? Actually, the house is not that big. I can clean it up by myself if I spend more time." Her voice trembled with reluctance. "Ten taels are gone in a flash."
Chen Heng also felt sorry for the money, and even sighed that ten taels could buy two people's lifetimes. Compared with this, she suddenly felt that she was quite lucky to have traveled through time.
What the whole family didn't expect was that at the end of July, Xie Jian was promoted to a Sheren in the Fengshi Bureau. In just three months, he was promoted to the sixth rank.
That night, Meng Xuanlang, Wu Jin, and Ouyang En came to the Xie family to celebrate.
For a moment, it was extremely lively.
In the end, the three of them were carried back to their homes by servants.
Xie Jian didn't drink much, and there was only a slight smell of alcohol on his body. After washing up, he took out the scroll he brought from the Fengshi Bureau and started reading as usual.
After cleaning the mat, Chen Heng went to bed comfortably. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard a few cat calls. It was the first time she heard a cat call since she moved into the official residence for so long. Then she heard the sound of a door opening and closing.
When I opened my eyes slightly, Xie Jian was no longer in the room. I felt sleepy and turned over to continue sleeping.
After a while, she stood up and thought about the cat call just now. Based on her many years of immersive TV watching experience, that was a code, and Xie Jian was out again.
What happened?
Just as Shen Heng was thinking this, Xie Jian opened the door and came in: "Did I disturb you?"
"No. Did anyone kiss you just now?"
Xie Jian nodded and told her the truth: "My eldest brother fainted. During the royal hunt, the teacher and I kept reminding him of things, and his headaches became more pronounced."
"Then the person who performed the incantation will appear?" Chen Heng knew what Xie Jian and the others were planning.
Thinking of his elder brother's distress, Xie Jian felt guilty: "It's not the right time yet. It will be soon."
Every time Shen Heng thought about the incident involving the eldest brother of the Xie family, she felt sad for her sister-in-law. Even as a bystander, she felt so distressed. She really didn't know how her sister-in-law managed to get through it. Since then, she never heard her sister-in-law mention her eldest brother.
When Min'er came back, he would sometimes talk about Master Tang. Perhaps it was the natural instinct between father and son, as one could tell that Min'er loved Master Tang very much. However, every time she mentioned him, there would always be some sadness in the eldest sister-in-law's eyes, and she would just look at Min'er lovingly.
August came in the blink of an eye.
This month was also the month when Liu Zhiyue was getting married. Just when Shen Heng thought that she would never have the chance to meet Liu Zhiyue again in this life, who would have thought that she would come to their house.
But she didn't come to see her, but to see Aunt Feng. She wanted Aunt Feng to go to Yuezhou with her as a foster nanny.
"Madam, I know I was wrong. Please forgive my youth and ignorance." Liu Zhiyue had asked Madam Feng to come back several times while at Prince Ning's mansion, but she had always refused. Now she came in person to try again. "The Yuezhou Si family is a powerful clan. I feel uneasy without you by my side."
Shen Heng served tea and was about to leave when Liu Zhiyue stopped her: "Madam Shen, please help me persuade the nanny."
