"Much better." Chen Heng ate a few slices of pickled cucumber, suppressing the discomfort in her stomach and rekindling her appetite. "By the way, Madam, Liu Gang said you were looking for jobs for Feng San and the others. Isn't the mansion still short of people? Why are you going to go far away instead of near by?"
"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. Although it is common to marry relatives, San'er's family and I have just met, and we don't know each other's character. I am afraid of making the mistake of nepotism. After staying for a month or two, if San'er's family can remain honest and virtuous in a place like the imperial capital, then I will let them serve you without you saying anything." Madam Feng said.
Chen Heng felt a little sorry for Nanny Feng's clarity of mind. How many times must a person push himself repeatedly to develop self-discipline before he can cultivate it?
Just like Xie Jian, isn't his current temperament also raised in this way?
When Xie Jianyu came in the evening, Shen Heng told him about Feng San's affairs. She felt that with Aunt Feng's character, she would definitely be able to teach Feng San's family well in the next one or two years.
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Heng yawned. For some reason, she felt particularly sleepy tonight. She didn't want to look at the account book. She took it out and put it back again. Seeing that Xie Jian seemed to be thinking about something, she asked.
"Nothing." He was just thinking, how could a clear-headed person like Mammy, and Prince Ning and Princess Ning, who were also resourceful people, raise a daughter like this? But Liu Xi was also not very promising: "Are you tired?"
"Yeah. Probably too tired."
"Then go to bed early."
Chen Heng no longer held on.
When Xie Jian went to bed, he saw that Ah Heng was already fast asleep. He pecked her lips lightly, then lay down with his arms around her, holding her in his arms, and then he fell asleep.
The first snow this year was in mid-December, and it was a heavy snowfall.
Because she needed to behave like a lady in her daily routine, Shen Heng would listen to Nanny's instructions whenever she had time.
"When holding pastries, hold them lightly with your thumb and index finger, and keep the other three fingers in graceful shapes. Just like this." Aunt Feng demonstrated.
Chen Heng did as she was told. Although her fingers were not as slender as scallions, nor were they thick, they were still quite beautiful.
"I don't have much to teach you, Madam. As long as you are strict with yourself, don't act casually, and don't indulge yourself, no one can find fault with you." Nanny Feng said with a smile. Madam is actually very smart, but she likes to let things go in one ear and out the other. However, this is only at home. Outside, she still abides by the rules.
"I understand, Ma'am." Shen Heng really liked this kind of delicate work.
Tan Yun came in at this time and reported: "Madam, Madam Liao from Prince Ning's Mansion is here."
"Please invite Madam Liao in." Shen Hengyu.
It had been a long time since they last saw their old sisters, and Nanny Feng was extremely happy. After the incident with Princess Ning, she no longer went to Prince Ning's Mansion, and Nanny Liao also stopped coming.
Madam Liao came in hurriedly and said, "I greet Madam Xie."
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Aunt Feng saw that the old sister looked unhappy.
"Madams, please chat slowly. Ah Chan, bring some delicious cakes." Shen Heng said as she was about to go out, leaving the two of them to chat.
"Madam." Madam Liao called Shen Heng again. She knew that Madam Feng was in a difficult situation at the moment. For the sake of her old sister, she shouldn't come here casually. Princess Ning was a suspicious person, but she had also taken many turns today. She didn't want Madam Shen to suspect Madam Feng of anything, so she said, "It's nothing. I'm afraid I'll pollute your ears. It's that Madam Shan in the palace is gone."
Chen Heng was stunned: "What's wrong with Nanny Shan?" She was fine last month.
"She was beaten to death." Nanny Liao said sadly. Princess Ning had a very good relationship with the late queen for a period of time, and her relationship with Nanny Shan was also extraordinary. Nanny Feng had been in the palace and had met Nanny Shan several times.
"Did Madam Shan make any mistake?" asked Madam Feng.
"I don't know. I thought you might know." After all, Lord Xie is now a new noble and is favored by the emperor. It seems that the old sisters know nothing.
