Chapter 197 The Most Outstanding Representative of the Censor
Nanny Feng looked at Madam Shen's behavior while eating and thought of Minister Xie's request, and couldn't help but smile.
"What is Aunt Feng laughing at?" Shen Heng was surprised.
"Xie Xiangqi really cares about Madam Shen. He's afraid you'll be bullied by other women, so he asked me to tell you more about the things going on in the deep house. Xie Xiangqi is worrying too much. I think Madam Shen has adapted very well."
Xie Jian was still so worried about her. Shen Heng was surprised again: "How did you know that I adapted so well?"
"Madam Shen used to eat more casually, but now she eats very differently. She has become a bit like the mistress of the house. I think it's because she has been with those ladies for a long time, and she has seen and learned from them."
Nanny Feng was right. In ancient times, etiquette was different for each class. Not wanting to be pretentious or embarrassed, she had to follow the crowd. So every time she went out, she would do what others did.
"When you are free, please tell me and my sister-in-law about the things going on in the deep mansion. It is always good to know more." She has read many novels about palace intrigues, which overemphasize the intelligence of the heroines, making people feel that they are child's play. However, what happened in the books can be used as a reference.
Nanny Feng responded with a smile. Others couldn't see it, but she could see that Madam Shen's character had changed a lot.
After the beginning of autumn, the autumn tiger ran rampant for a whole month before it finally subsided.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to welcome the arrival of early winter.
The snowstorm of the previous month is still fresh in the minds of the old people. As soon as this winter has just arrived, everyone has started to stock up on goods.
Chen Heng had anticipated this early on, so she made a fortune and was happy doing her calculations every night.
Ah Chan came in with some water and said, "Madam Chen, the master is back. He was about to enter the second gate when he was called again. The master told you to go to bed first and not wait for him."
She had never waited for him before. Without even raising her head, Shen Heng asked, "Did you say anything?"
"I don't know. It's getting late. Let me help you wash up."
"Wait a moment."
It was unknown how long it took before Chen Heng finally reconciled the accounts between the shop and the Ajian caravan. In just ten days, the shop had earned ten taels of silver, not bad.
When she looked up, she saw Ah Chan dozing off beside her. She was only twelve years old. Shen Heng knew it was normal for a maid to keep watch at night, but she still felt a little guilty, as if an adult was bullying a child. "Ah Chan."
Ah Chan suddenly woke up and said in panic, "This servant deserves to die."
"From now on, when it's midnight, you can go to sleep and don't have to stay here." The 12-year-old child is still growing.
"No. Madam will tell on me. I deserve to die," Ah Chan said with a look of annoyance. "It has nothing to do with Madam. This is my responsibility."
"I'll tell Madam. Don't say you deserve to die so often in the future. Madam Feng taught you and Zhenzhu carefully so that you can help the master solve problems, not so that you can die all the time." Shen Heng smiled. She knew that she was a good person because she didn't put the blame on others.
Ah Chan nodded obediently: "I understand."
"Go down."
"yes."
Chen Heng yawned, opened the window and looked at the bright moon in the night sky. It was almost midnight, why hadn't Xie Jian come back yet?
I'm really sleepy.
To Chen Heng's surprise, when she woke up the next day, the quilt beside her was still tidy, and it was said that Xie Jian had not returned all night.
