Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 227: The Merchant's Daughter Wants to Marry the General 24

Grape knelt down and poured tea for the young lady. "Yes, young lady. Lu Aniu and I had just loaded the car and were about to set off when the master sent someone to the farm, saying that he wanted the lady and you to return to Yonghe Mansion as soon as possible. But for some reason, the lady did not agree and drove Madam Ping out of the yard."

Nanny Ping is the nanny in charge of Aunt Xuan’s courtyard.

"I don't know what Madam Ping said to Madam. Madam was very angry and didn't even have dinner. The Fifth Young Master also lost his temper after he came back, but I didn't get to enter the courtyard so I don't know what happened there."

Grape paused, "It seems to be related to the young lady's marriage. I wanted to find out more about it, and I was also worried about the madam, so I stayed at the farm until Madam Ping gave up trying to persuade me and left. Then I set off to return."

He went to pick up his wife and brought her back home, but he sent someone from his concubine's courtyard!

Shen Guli was a little confused as to whether her cheap father wanted Lin to go back or not!

"I understand. You should go down and have a rest too! Eat something and take a good shower! You don't have to come on duty today!"

"Yes!" Grape looked at the young lady's serious face and did not say anything like she was not tired. She was covered in dust and really needed to go back and change clothes.

Shen Guli lowered her head and opened the letter written by her mother. She read it quickly and put it aside expressionlessly. Then she opened the letter from Shen Helin.

In the letter from her mother, it was said that her stepfather wanted her and her daughter to go back, saying that Shen Guli would have reached the age of 15 in May, and asked Lin to go back quickly to find a husband for Shen Guli.

Facts have proven that men are unreliable. When they dote on you, they are patting their chests to guarantee that for Shen Hongshan's legitimate daughter, he will definitely choose a son-in-law who is one in a million, and Shen Guli must like him. If his daughter can't choose the one she likes, then Shen Hongshan will raise her for life.

Anyway, he has mountains of gold and silver that he can never use up.

It's only been a few years, and the serious oath has been eaten by dogs?

Is the Shen family's wealth going to be given away to someone else?

Giving money is not enough, this cheap dad wants his whole family to die along with him!

Shen Helin's letter said that he planned to build a new workshop and expand his dried noodle business to all parts of the country. He also said that Xuan Yi Niang wanted to marry her to a seventh-rank official in Beijing from her natal family, so she should stay in Beijing and not be tricked back home by her father.

Aunt Xuan is indeed different from Mr. Shen's other concubines. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she comes from a family of officials. Her status is superior to all the women in the Shen family, including the principal wife, Lin.

However, if Mr. Shen wanted to marry his only legitimate daughter to someone else as a concubine, Shen Guli felt that her stepfather would not be so cruel.

After all, such a situation had never happened in her previous life, and she had never heard of the concept of having a concubine as a concubine.

However, in her previous life, she had married Xie Rong early on.

Shen Guli was distressed. For a moment she couldn't figure out what her stepfather was thinking. What a confused old man.

Shen Guli put away the two letters and stared blankly at the darkening sky outside.

The love that her stepfather had shown her for more than a decade was real. In her previous life, he had not stopped her from marrying Xie Rong, but had added a lot of good things to her original dowry.

But ever since she got married, Shen Hongshan cut off all contact with her, as if he had lost his daughter.

Shen Guli initially sent holiday gifts and wrote two letters, but after receiving no response, she gave up and only kept in touch with her mother who had left home.

There is another very important reason why Shen Guli does not want to marry into the Xie family in this life. Once you enter a mansion, it is like being trapped in a deep sea. Marrying someone is like being bought into the mansion as a servant. The strict family rules prevent her from leaving the mansion easily, and leaving Beijing to return home to visit her relatives is out of the question.

Later, when the Shen family encountered a great change, her stepfather never asked anyone to ask her for help. If her eldest brother had not come to the capital and given her two shops, she would not have known that her stepfather died because he could not bear the fact that the family business was lost in his hands.

I don’t know if my stepfather regretted it at that time.

The sky darkened completely before anyone knew it, and the candlesticks in the room were lit by cherries at some point.

"Miss?"

Shen Guli came back to her senses, smiled at Yingtao, and said calmly, "Nothing."

"Miss, the Seventh Prince's men came over just now and brought some deeds to the suburban farms!"

The Seventh Prince is so fast, it seems he is a person with high execution ability, she likes it. "Well, bring it to me!"

In the following days, Shen Guli was very busy. She took Cherry and Grape to the suburbs and chose a farm that was more than twice as big as the one where Lin lived now. It also had a mountain and a hundred acres of fertile land. There was not only a flowing river, but also a horse farm.

Shen Guli asked Lin Shu to return the remaining deeds to the palace, and took Aniu to two small towns below to find several old kiln craftsmen. She also asked Putao to go to the human tooth market to buy more than 30 servants who had signed death deeds.

All these people were arranged on the farm and began to build the kiln in a hurry.

People were sent out to buy refractory mud and lime. The new servants were assigned to clear the grass and trees around the newly built house in the back mountain, and the dead branches and leaves that had accumulated in the forest for many years were burned for most of the night.

This is not the point. The point is that Shen Guli confessed that she wanted to burn the wood ash.

Shen Guli was really busy, even busier than Hua Mulan who went to the East Market to buy a horse, the West Market to buy a saddle, the South Market to buy a bridle, and the North Market to buy a long whip.

"Grape, Lu Zhengrong, I will hand over the management of the new industry to be developed on this farm to you two. One of you will be responsible for the people, and the other will be responsible for the goods. You must discuss everything first, understand!"

Lu Zhengrong felt a little uneasy. It seemed that he could not manage such a large farm. Grape had been running around with the young lady these days, and she had seen more of the market than she had seen in her first half of her life.

She answered steadily, "Yes, Miss, I will definitely protect the farm for you."

From the lady's instructions that the people bought back must be of clean origin, have no bad criminal record, and be willing to sign a death contract, Grape knew that what the lady was going to make this time might be more important than the dried noodles.

Lu Zhengrong blushed and immediately responded, "Miss, A Niu will also do his best to protect your things."

Shen Guli nodded, "It's done, Miss will reward you! Gold, silver, treasures, husband and wife, everything will be taken care of by Miss!"

Now, Grape also blushed, but Lu Zhengrong, who was used to being teased, started laughing.

The master and his servants walked towards the newly built house in the back mountain while chatting and laughing. "Did you find the refractory mud I asked you to find yesterday?"

"Found it. Someone sent it to the back yesterday afternoon as Master Wu requested?"
