Mother Chen didn't understand, but she still thought it was a good idea to give him a beating.
Shen Qingqiu asked: "If we beat him away, won't there be another Jin Cai?"
Mother Chen was stunned for a moment. Shen Qingqiu touched the pot beside him and said, "There's no water. Go get someone to make a pot of good tea!"
Mother Chen was stunned, "Where can we get tea here?" Shen Qingqiu, a child, didn't drink tea, and neither did Liu. Normally, tea was included in the monthly allowance, but now Jin Cai was the one who received it, and Jin Cai was also in charge of the account book.
"Jin Cai has tea leaves, go ask her for them."
Mother Chen frowned. Jin Cai now treated their room as her own little treasury, and it was difficult for her to get anything. But Shen Qingqiu said again: "I passed by the courtyard during the day and heard that Lord Gu got a good thing to give me. He should come in the afternoon. If Lord Gu comes, I think Dad will come too."
After all, it is the backyard, and Marquis Gu is a stranger, so if he wants to enter the side room, Shen Bin will naturally have to accompany him.
Mother Chen's mind froze, and it took her a long time to understand Shen Qingqiu's idea. Her eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay! Okay! I'll go ask Jin Cai for tea right away!"
——
"He's just a seven-year-old kid. I don't think he's as evil as they say."
At noon, two servants in the courtyard were chatting. One of them was sitting on the railing, eating some dried sunflower seeds, and said, "I think it's just a rumor. An unfavored concubine..." Then he whispered, "This concubine Liu used to be of the lowest class, and the eldest lady couldn't stand it! That's why she assigned Jin Cai to come."
"Anyway, Aunt Liu is just a concubine, not much more noble than us, so there's no need to serve her well."
"Little bitch! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouths apart!" Mother Chen rushed out with a feather duster, and before she could hit anyone, the two maids ran away. Mother Chen was depressed. She was big and strong, but her flexibility was still a little low.
"A distinguished guest will be arriving soon. Hurry up and boil some water. If the guest doesn't have tea to drink, I'll see what will happen to you!"
"Mrs. Chen is bragging again. What kind of guests does Aunt Liu have?" Someone nearby said, "They are either opera singers or farmers in the countryside."
"That's right, they are not as good as my family. My brother is the accountant of the inn after all."
Gu Yong and Shen Bin came at this time. Mother Chen had a loud voice and could be heard from far away. Shen Bin was so embarrassed that he wanted to walk over and scold the servant, but the Marquis was strolling in the garden, so he could only follow him.
But I didn't expect that the more I listened, the more outrageous it became! "Sir Shen, it turns out that I am not as good as an accountant." Gu Yong said to Shen Bin with a smile.
Shen Bin was extremely angry and said, "My Lord, please forgive me. It is me who has no rules in my house." After saying that, he pointed at the person next to him and told him to open the door. If he continued talking, it would be disastrous!
"Greetings, my Lord. Greetings, my Lord!" Mother Chen was the first to see it.
The servants who were arguing saw their master was stunned, and knelt down after a while. Shen Bin's face turned pale, and he pointed at one or two of them and was about to make a decision, but Gu Yong said calmly: "Master Shen, please deal with the servants later. I don't have time to watch today."
"Yes, yes, yes!" At this time, Shen Bin dared not go against the Marquis's wishes.
"Where is the seventh girl?" Shen Bin asked.
Mother Chen then led the two of them into the inner room, where Shen Qingqiu was sitting on the main seat, holding a piece of wood in his hand, piecing it together, no one knew what he was playing with.
"Qiu'er, why don't you show courtesy to the guests?" Shen Bin tried hard to act like a kind father.
Shen Qingqiu raised her eyes: "Do you want to salute?" She asked in a confused manner.
Shen Bin said gently, "Of course, we are a family of etiquette. Qiu'er is young, so Dad won't punish you this time, but if you do it again in the future, I will punish you."
Shen Qingqiu sneered, "We are a family of etiquette, but those servants never show courtesy when they see me."
Shen Bin: ...
Is this rebellious girl here to defeat him? ! But Gu Yong had already sat down leisurely. Shen Qingqiu raised his eyes and just said, "Would you like some tea?"
"My Lord, this tea comes from Yunnan, it is the best for nourishing the body!" Shen Bin also added. Gu Yong was a little suspicious. He understood this little girl and would not say useless nonsense. Although he didn't know what medicine she was selling in her throat, he still nodded.
