48. Chapter 48
In front of her eyes is the tent that she is familiar with, and there is a man's even breathing sound beside her.
She pressed her hand lightly on her chest, and felt a rapid beating in it.
Are you dreaming?
However, she knew very well that those things were not dreams, but real things that happened in her previous life.
After a long time, she let out a faint sigh.
In the end, it was still disturbed by the Zhou family who appeared today. haven't dreamed about it for a long time, and never thought that would dream again today.
If even Zhou Wanning couldn't overcome this hurdle, what did she say to start over? What about casting confidence? What to say, watching her daughter marry beautifully, will be healthy.
Maybe she should keep herself busy so that she doesn't have time to think about the things she doesn't want to remember, the people she doesn't want to remember.
"Madam..." The man's murmur suddenly rang in her ears, which startled her, who was fascinated by her thoughts, and half propped herself up to look carefully at the man beside her by the incoming moonlight, only to see that he was sleeping soundly. Zhengxiang.
Her heart softened without warning, and she gently poked the other person's warm face and whispered helplessly: "You, how can you talk like a child in your sleep."
"Madam..." It was another babble, and I don't know if it was her illusion, but she actually heard a bit of coquettishness from this sound.
She stroked her forehead a little funny, feeling really stupid.
She lay back in the quilt again, and subconsciously moved her body towards the person next to her, her face pressed against her warm and generous chest, and somehow, she felt a warm current slowly flowing through her limbs and bones, and She was completely dispelled by the coolness of waking up from the nightmare.
She thought, if only this person could accompany her for the rest of her life...
Thinking that in a few years, the "warmer" by her side would leave her, and that she could no longer rely on her, she felt that her heart was blocked and her nose was sour.
The next moment, she suddenly thought, if she could stop the accident, wouldn't he be able to avoid the death catastrophe?
It should be ok? It was just the thought that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't change her son's encounter with Zhou Wanning in this life, and she felt uncertain again.
No matter, if she knew that the man beside her would lose her life due to an accident in the near future, and she did nothing, she would never feel at ease in this life, and she would never forgive herself!
After making up her mind, she rubbed her warm chest and slowly closed her eyes. She thought it would be difficult to fall back asleep after waking up once, but after a while, the sound of shallow and even breathing rang out. .
The next day, Wei Junhang went to Master Wu first. Master Wu, who had already been asked by Wei Chenglin for a long time, naturally knew his intention and agreed without a word.
Knowing that he will be able to practice martial arts with his master in the afternoon, Yunfu can no longer maintain the appearance of a little adult.
Shen Xinyan beckoned him to come over, and when the little guy ran to her with a 'bang bang bang', she personally adjusted his clothes for him, and exhorted: "You have to listen to the master's words and practice hard, you know?"
Yunfu nodded again and again and patted his thin chest: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely listen to the master's words and practice hard!"
Seeing his serious appearance, Shen Xinyan couldn't help but want to laugh, and quickly held back.
Wei Chenglin, who was standing quietly by the side, was somewhat envious. He couldn't remember the first time he went to class with his master when he was a child, and whether his mother was so uneasy and told him again and again.
"Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of him!" For a moment, seeing that Shen Xinyan seemed to want to warn him, he hurriedly said.
If you go on, you will waste time.
Seeing that the two little guys, one tall and the other short, but with the same small faces, walked out of the house one after the other, Xia He couldn't help but sigh: "Usually I can't see it, but when I look at it now, If you didn't know it, you would think that these two are brothers!"
"What are you talking about! These words can be mixed up!" Qiutang pushed her shoulders and said angrily.
Xia He then realized what he had said, stuck out his tongue at her a little embarrassed, and looked at Shen Xinyan who looked disapproving, then found a reason and ran away in a hurry.
"Xia He is not wrong, these two children are not very talkative, and they always like to be adults at a young age. It is not wrong to say that they are like brothers." Shen Xinyan shook her head with a chuckle.
"Knowing that Madam has a good temperament, only Madam can't indulge Xia He with everything. She is so explosive that no one can provoke her on weekdays. !" Qiutang disagreed.
Shen Xin smiled and changed the subject: "Go and get my dowry list and booklet, I'm good at it."
The cooperation with Xu Sumin has become a foregone conclusion, and she doesn't want to let herself idle any longer, so she simply organizes her family, and at the same time prepares the silver liang to put into the village in advance.
Qiutang left in response, and soon came over with her dowry list and private accounts.
Shen Xinyan took over and read it carefully, and found that after so many years of accumulation, her family background is actually not very small.
When she got married that year, Jing'anbo's mansion was already in decline, and naturally there was no way to buy her a lavish dowry, but she just sent her out in a lawful manner.
In these years in the Guogong Mansion, although she is not the mistress of the family, and she does not have much spare money, but because she does not spend money like water, and does not like to go out to socialize, she has not used dowry.
After more than ten years of accumulation, up to now, her family has more than doubled from when she was married.
"Wait a moment, you can send a message to the shopkeepers and ask them to send in this quarter's income in advance. I will make a pool and try my best to collect enough money for Zhuangzi." After closing the booklet, she instructed Qiutang.
Qiutang didn't agree with his wife's decision to cooperate with Xu Sumin to open a hot spring village, and invested most of her net worth. Haosheng persuaded him several times, but seeing that the master insisted on going his own way, there was no other way. Then Mrs. Xu must not let Mrs. down.
thought that as long as add the income of the dowry shop under name in the past quarter, can make up enough for Zhuangzi's early investment, but didn't expect that the amount finally received was far beyond Shen Xinyan's expectations.
"How can it be so little? It's a full 30% less than this time last year!" She asked with a frown.
"Business is not good these days. There are more and more shops in Beijing, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce. Especially this year, many merchants from other places have poured in. It's like there is gold everywhere in the capital!" The person in charge of sending silver taels Shopkeeper Qian said bitterly.
Shen Xinyan closed the list and said calmly: "The competition is fierce and it's not only this year. Our stores have been open for more than ten years. The business has never been called good, but it's definitely not bad."
After taking a sip from the tea cup, she wiped the corner of her mouth and said simply: "Forget it, you can take this year's account books from various shops and let me take a look."
"Madam, can't you trust us?" Shopkeeper Qian's expression was not very good-looking.
"That's weird, as the owner, isn't it normal to look at the account books in your store? How can it be related to whether you believe it or not?" Shen Xinyan's brows furrowed even tighter.
Shopkeeper Qian moved his lips, and finally said helplessly, "I'll personally send it to my wife in a few days for her to see."
"No need, the account book is ready-made. Why don't it take a few days, Qiutang, you will take someone to go there in person." Shen Xinyan did not give him any room to refuse, and directly ordered Qiutang.
Qiutang responded and took the people in the prepared carriage and left.
The shopkeeper Qian felt a little restless and wanted to find a reason to leave, but Shen Xinyan asked him about the business of the shop over the years.
Helplessly, he had to press his inner anxiety to answer one by one.
When Qiutang brought back the account books of several shops, his expression finally changed.
Shen Xinyan didn't seem to see it. She casually opened a book and flipped through it. Every time the page-turning sound was heard, it was as if a sharp knife was approaching the money shopkeeper an inch.
But now he wants to go, but he can't.
Time passed little by little, and in just an hour, he felt like he was being roasted on a raging fire for an hour, and the sweat on his forehead did not stop for a moment.
Finally, Shen Xinyan closed the last account book, and looked at him fixedly, before slowly saying: "I'm a little duller, and I can't understand this account book. Boss Qian might as well explain it to me in detail. Why is the number recorded here so different from what you have handed in over the years!"
Shopkeeper Qian couldn't hold on anymore and knelt down.
"Madam, spare your life, the little one shouldn't be fooled by the lard, so he became greedy, and that's why he made a big mistake! I beg Madam for mercy, and give the little one another chance!"
"I only get 40% of the income from my own shop every year. You, a shopkeeper, have such a big appetite that you dare to pay 60%! It's because I'm too soft-hearted on weekdays, so you don't have any scruples in your actions.It's just that you don't take me seriously anymore, do you?" Shen Xinyan sneered, and the next moment, she slammed the tea cup in her hand to the front of the shopkeeper Qian.
"Tell me, who ordered you! If you don't tell me, Qiu Tang, who took the name of Shi Ziye, sent him directly to the government!!"
"Yes!!" Qiutang was so angry that she could not wait to eat the meat of Shopkeeper Qian.
"Mrs. spare your life, madam, spare your life, I said I said, yes, it's Mrs. Uncle!"
Mrs. Uncle?Liang's?Shen Xinyan seemed to be surprised, but also expected.
Except for her sister-in-law, no one can do anything in her dowry shop.
"Bold, how dare to climb Madam Uncle indiscriminately!! Madam Uncle is Madam's direct sister-in-law, how could she do such a thing!" Qiutang shouted with a sullen face.
"Everything Xiao said is true, Madam is clear! Xiao has evidence, yes, there is evidence!"
