Chang’an’s First Beauty

Chapter 144 Zhou Shuan x Shen Lao 7

An hour later, Zhou Shuan asked his subordinates to take Wen Shi and He Wanru to Dali Temple. Less than a moment after the gate was closed, he heard a knock on the door.

The toothwoman said to the butler: “There are forty in total, the butler looks at the list.”

Butler Yu said: “You follow me.”

Before long, a woman in a pomegranate red group brought twenty maids and twenty servants to the main hall.

The mother-in-law’s surname is Liu, and she speaks slowly, but the rules are very good while she gestures.

She bowed and handed the deed of sale in her hand to Ao Shen, “The slave learned that it was Master Zhou who was going to buy a servant, and they brought them all selected. Please take a closer look at the wife.”

Shen Jia took it and nodded.

Granny Liu looked very good, turned her head to several women, and whispered: “Start with you, raise your head in turn.”

Every group of four people walked over round after round, and Shen Hao pinched the prostitute to ask questions as usual.

Is it literate? What position have you held? Can Changan have relatives? And so on.

Shen Hao turned his head to Zhou Shuan and said, “I saw these are all good, what does Lang Jun think?”

Zhou Shuan put down the palm of the tea cup and said: “It’s all up to the wife.”

Shen Hao directly deducted eight sales deeds. The mother-in-law showed joy and continued to wink at the people around her. However, the four maids in the next round made Shen’s eyes startled.

The four maidservants looked up, all in good colors and good figures. Compared with the deed of selling, they are all unpublished, the largest is seventeen, and the smallest is fifteen. Shen Jiao, who has been the mistress of the family, naturally knows what such a maid is used for.

Too many of them are serving people personally. After a long time, if Lang Jun likes it, he can use it as a common room. There were a few around Li Di, but because the few around him were too unruly and made Shen Lao angry, Li Di directly sent them away.

The four in front of them were not Hu Meixiang.

Shen Jia glanced at the man next to him, and said softly: “These few? What do you think Lang Jun thinks?”

Zhou Shuan tapped the table with his fingertips, and said after a long while: “It’s all up to the wife.”

Obviously the word is not bad, but this tone is indeed a bit colder than before.

Shen Jia lowered his head and looked at the sales contract in his hand. After a moment, he smiled.

Both married second, so why bother to be so embarrassed?

It’s all about Naliang’s concubine, but it is really a bad thing to let these people dangle in front of her all day. Thinking of this, Shen Hao returned the deeds of the four men to Mrs. Liu.

The four maidservants in front of them looked reluctantly at the man wearing the jade crown, and then dropped their heads again.

Due to the small number of people in the Zhou Mansion, Lady Shen only had six maids and six servants. After dealing with the deed, Mrs. Liu smiled and offered the price, and Zhou Shuan got up to pay. Qingli took the person down.

After Mrs. Liu left, Zhou Shuan and Ao Shen said, “Madam, go with me for a walk in the yard?”

Shen Hao nodded, the palm of her hand was held by someone.

The courtyard of Zhou Mansion was bestowed by Emperor Cheng Yuan.

The outer courtyard is equipped with a pavilion, a penthouse, and a main hall; the inner courtyard is equipped with a pond, a water pavilion, and a rockery. It is a standard three-entry courtyard with a large area and beautiful scenery.

However, most of the wing rooms are left unused.

After bypassing the pond, Shen Jia looked at the weeds in the courtyard, and couldn’t help feeling that the talented people were buying less.

Zhou Shuan took her into the bedroom. There was a yellow rosewood shelf in the hall. The shelf was full of account books. Zhou Shuan took a few books and placed them in front of her, saying: “These account books will be taken care of by the wife in the future. .”

Shen Hao subconsciously thought that these were the account books for the mansion to purchase goods, but when she opened it, she froze in the same place…

Where is this ordinary account book? This is clearly a record of Zhou Shu’an’s interpersonal relationship, and every one is very clear.

This is his back.

Shen Hao took a deep breath…

After a long time, she pointed to a place in the account book and smiled: “Master Zhou’s salary is much lower than I thought.”

Hearing this, Zhou Shuan said solemnly: “The one you looked at was from the year before, and it has risen this year.”

Shen Jia picked up another copy, turned it to the back, couldn’t help but curled his eyes with a smile, “Can it be considered a rise if it has been increased by twenty?”

The answer to her was a man’s hard and hot arm and a room of silk.

——

In the evening, Zhou Shuan was looking at a corruption case file in his study, which was handed over to Dali Temple by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs for retrial. Because the case involved too extensive, Xie Shaoqing couldn’t decide for a while, so he submitted it to Zhou Shuan.

Thinking about it, Chu Yi knocked on the door and walked in.

Zhou Shuan said: “What happened?”

“The He family was found to have been working illegally and was taken away by the people of Jingzhao Mansion.” Chu paused, and said: “As the lord ordered before, the subordinates brought the Wen family and the He family daughter to see Li Die side.”

Zhou Shuan’s eyes were cold, “Go on.”

Chu Yi whispered: “Li Di heard about the adult’s marriage, and immediately vomited a mouthful of blood. The doctor came to see it and said…time is running out.”

Zhou Shuan slowly put down the wolf in his hand, and said Shen Shen: “Please ask him for a doctor as usual, but the news is suppressed.”

“Subordinates understand.” Chu Yi said again: “How to deal with the case sent by Master Yao?”

Zhou Shuan said: “The first is to mention the criminal trial, then rewrite a submission to the saint.”

——

Haizheng, the candlelight in the study went out.

Zhou Shuan thought about whether to tell her about Li Di.

After thinking about it, he finally decided not to mention it.

As she said, although they had long since lost their love, the four years of love was not fake after all. With her temperament, she probably wouldn’t clap her hands to cheer even when she learned that Li Di’s oil was exhausted.

People die like a lamp, and the past is empty.

These things really don’t need to be known to her.

When Zhou Shuan opened the door and entered, the light in the room was still on. He walked over, sat on the side of the couch, and said to her, “I just handled some official duties.”

Shen Jia said: “It’s okay, I always sleep late.”

Zhou Shuan took off his outer shirt, lay down, and leaned forward, his cold voice suddenly became gloomy, his palms wandering on the smooth back, all the way down.

Shen Jia bit her lip, and made a soft “um” sound.

Zhou Shuan felt himself bulging in a circle instantly. His proud self-control is obviously not enough in front of her.

“Sister, what should I do?” The man’s voice talking about love at night can almost make people’s hearts sore.

Shen Hao put his index finger against his chest, which was getting closer and closer, and said: “There is one thing I can’t figure out, can Lang Jun help me out?”

Zhou Shuan came to her again in a blink of an eye, his eyes burning and said: “You said.”

Shen Jia put his arms on his shoulders, and whispered softly, “Why did Master Zhou take me to an inn outside the city on that day?”

Although he was really putting her off that day, Shen Hao thought about it and thought it was a little too coincidental.

At that time, they were most likely to have seen it…

Shen Jia looked into his eyes and said: “The plague spread that year, and many people came to Beijing. Many people were stopped outside. Have you seen me and Lang Jun?”

Zhou Shuan felt tight.

Shen Hao’s fingers swept lightly across his neck: “Master Zhou is going to Beijing to take the exam?”

Zhou Shuan said: “Yes.”

“Then what?” Shen Hao’s hand, with ease, embarrassed the number one scholar who was a few years ago.

I don’t know how long it took, Lord Zhou finally recovered his almost collapsed aura, grabbed two slender hands, and shackled them on top of her head.

Gagged her mouth.

When I first saw you, I did have delusions.
