Marry the male lead and his uncle after rebirth

Chapter 117

Chapter 117

It was actually better when the first emperor was here, and the soldiers were paid more.

After Emperor Ren succeeded to the throne, several rivers were built and many landmark buildings were built. The money from the treasury was used too harshly.

It is also not possible to increase taxes at will, so the soldiers' salaries were reduced by almost half.

Fortunately, the soldiers are loyal, and the Shen family army has Shen Chengting around, so there will be no chaos.

And Rong Zhan's soldiers received the best treatment, because King Dingbei was rich, and he would improve the lives of his soldiers from time to time, and during festivals, many rewards were paid for by Rong Zhan himself.

Shen Tingxue's eyes were greedy, she also wanted to have that much money.

She has always been a much-loved little princess at home. She doesn't know the sufferings of the world, buys what is popular and hot, and buys whatever she wants.

She doesn't want to be such a waste all the time, she only knows how to take, but doesn't know how to give.

She also wanted to do something for her family.

Shen Tingxue was thinking about it seriously, his mind was full of the scene where Rong Zhan threw money and got 10 taels of silver bills.

She could even imagine the scene of silver bills floating down from the sky like snowflakes.

She wants to be stoned to death by money.

"This is not something you should consider. My second brother and I will find a way."

"And, your fifth brother is rich."

Shen Tingxue nodded, "Fifth Brother should also hand in a sum for the Chinese New Year."

Looking at his sister's calculating expression, Shen Qi felt that Xiao Wu might have a headache during the Chinese New Year.

"Miss, Miss Xia is here and wants to see you."

Wen Hua walked in with a smile.

"Sister Wan?"

Shen Tingxue was surprised for a moment, then went back with Xuncha Wenhua.

After the palace banquet, the two never saw each other again.

But Xia Wan sent people to deliver special products from her mother's hometown several times.

Shen Tingxue also returned some snacks made by Xuncha himself.

Xia Wan is different from Shen Tingxue, she was born in a scholarly family, she is a gentle and quiet girl who rarely goes out.

So this sudden visit did not post any posts, not quite Xia Wan's style.

Shen Tingxue thought that something happened to Xia Wan, but when she saw Xia Wan, she found that she looked very good and there was nothing wrong with her.

"After that day, I didn't go out when I returned to the mansion, and I didn't come to see you. Don't blame me."

Xia Wan came with a round fan in her hand, with a sweet smile on her face.

"How can it be? I know that Sister Wan doesn't like to go out very much."

"It's not that I don't like it."

Xia Wan sighed, as if thinking of something, then said helplessly: "Our family has strict rules, and my father doesn't allow me to go out often."

"I came to see you today, and my father agreed."

Xia Shangshu has a good relationship with Shen Chengting, that's why Xia Wan was allowed to come over.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites focuses on the word "li". Xia Shangshu himself also cares about etiquette very much.

If a skinny monkey like Shen Tingxue was born in Xia's family, Xia Shangshu would be pissed to death.

"Uncle Xia is too strict with you, it's better for my father, who never cares about me."

The two chatted for a while, Xia Wan seemed to have something to say, hesitating and fidgeting.

"Sister Wan, what else do you have to say, can't you tell me?"

Xia Wan's performance was too obvious, and Shen Tingxue was not blind.

"Yeah, it's okay, just, just, I just heard that your fourth brother, fourth brother has sent a letter..."

Xia Wan, known as a talented woman, stuttered surprisingly in order to finish this sentence.

Shen Tingxue smiled instantly, blinked her eyes, "Sister Wan, you haven't let go of my fourth brother."

It was a long time ago that Xia Wan fell in love with Shen Jue.

It was because of this that Shen Tingxue didn't like Xia Wan, and had always been against Xia Wan before.

Of course, it was also because of Shen Yiyi's instigation.

How could Shen Yiyi hope that the son of the Shen family could find a good wife.

Xia Wan lowered her head, her cheeks were a little red, "I just want to know about him."

"Actually, in fact, your fourth brother should have no intention of treating me, so don't tell him Tingxue."

Shen Jue is a free-spirited young man, otherwise he wouldn't have left his job as an official to travel around the beautiful scenery.

The reason why the two knew each other was also because Xia Shangshu was the invigilator when Shen Jue was the number one scholar in the examination.

After the exam, Xia Wan waited outside for Xia Shangshu.

The fourth son was so focused on rushing out to play after the exam, he didn't notice the pretty girl next to him, so he rushed so hard that he knocked her into the air.

Fortunately, Shen Jue came to his senses, grabbed the girl who was knocked into the air, and landed safely on the ground with her in his arms.

The two met on that scientific expedition.

Shen Jue always regarded Xia Wan as her younger sister, but Xia Wan had other thoughts.

Shen Jue didn't know, Shen Tingxue always knew.

"Actually, my fourth brother has nothing serious to do, he just told me not to be blind, and then go home to celebrate the New Year."

"You know my fourth brother is always casual..."

"Will he come back during the Chinese New Year?"

Xia Wan's eyes lit up immediately.

Whether to go home or not depends on Shen Jue's mood. He hasn't been home for the New Year for several years.

"correct."

Shen Tingxue nodded without feeling guilty.

She had no idea, she was talking nonsense.

"Well, that's pretty good, it's time to go home and have a look..."

Xia Wan stayed with Shen Tingxue for lunch.

The two chatted so well that Xia Wan stayed longer.

As a result, someone came to Xia Mansion and asked Xia Wan to go back.

"Tingxue, I'm going back first, my father is already angry."

"Okay, I'll see you next time."

Shen Tingxue rubbed her eyebrows.

Forget it, let her go to Xia Mansion next time, no one dares to scold her for how long she stays.

"Looking for tea, bring me the account book, I want to see the profitability of those shops."

After Xia Wan left, Shen Tingxue had no intention of resting.

Since you plan to do something for your family, try to do it.

Shen Tingxue felt that she didn't have many strengths, she had learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she wasn't too brilliant.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet was able to win because of mother's help.

Martial arts is not good either, she is still working hard.

Today's martial arts can only deal with ordinary people, and it is difficult to protect themselves when encountering slightly better martial arts.

Therefore, after thinking about it carefully, what she can do for her family is probably just like Rong Zhan, getting richer and richer.

She remembered that in her previous life, when Rong Heng became the prince, he took the initiative to take over the task of repairing the Yellow River.

Repairing the Yellow River requires a lot of money and capable supervisors.

Otherwise, the money issued by the treasury will probably be stripped away layer by layer by those officials.

Rong Heng only used half of the money allocated by the treasury, and the other half was filled by exhausting all of Shen Yu's financial resources.

The second brother Shen Yi and the fourth brother Shen Jue supervised the work.

In the end, the Yellow River was repaired, and Rong Heng himself received military merits, but he used it to frame Shen Yi and Shen Jue for enriching their own pockets, embezzlement and bribery when they repaired the Yellow River.

Shen Yi has a violent temper, and on the way back to Beijing, he clashed with the escorts and had his legs chopped off.

By the time they entered Beijing, people had already been tortured beyond recognition.

In the end, he was accused of corruption and bribery and died in prison.

Shen Jue was an accomplice, and was taken into prison. He was beaten to death. It was Shen Rong who promised Rong Heng to save a dying person, and then brought Shen Jue back from the prison.

And that person was the murderer who killed Shen Che.

But in order to save his brother, Shen Rong had to agree.

There is still a lot of silver that Shen Yu handed over.

Rong Heng used the money to support a group of dead men, and he wiped out many people on his way to the throne.

Therefore, it is right that money can make ghosts turn millstones.

And she didn't know about these things at the time, she had been kept a secret, and she didn't know until she was dying...

Shen Tingxue's hand holding the teacup shook.

Suddenly recalling the scene where her elder brothers were killed one by one in her previous life, the hatred in her heart was like a raging fire on a flame, scorching and burning, burning hotter and hotter, making her feel uncomfortable, the burner seemed to die, but couldn’t die , can only be tortured.

That anxious emotion welled up in her heart, and the teacup in Shen Tingxue's hand shook violently.

boom!
The teacup was crushed by her, and the blood on her hand flowed down the dress.

"Miss!"

Wenhua yelled, grabbed Shen Tingxue's hand in a hurry, forcibly pulled the broken porcelain out of her hand, and threw it on the ground.

"What's going on here?"

Xuncha came back with the ledger, and was startled when he saw this scene.

She quickly threw down the ledger, went to bring the medicine box, and by the way ordered the little girl outside the courtyard to invite Shen Qi.

There is no distinction between medicine and poison. Although Shen Qi focuses on poison, he still has basic medical skills.

Asking Hua Xuncha to feel distressed.

Shen Tingxue grew up delicate and delicate. Even after practicing swordsmanship, she still had to apply balm, protect her hands carefully every day, or practice swordsmanship wearing gloves.

Therefore, the hands are very beautiful.

Now that he crushed a teacup abruptly, and the pieces of porcelain stuck in his palm, he didn't even care about it, how cruel it must have been.

"Xiao Jiu, what's the matter?"

Shen Qi learned that Shen Tingxue hurt her hand, so she hurried over immediately.

Looking at the anxious face of the third brother, Shen Tingxue finally came back to her senses slowly, and her rapid breathing gradually stabilized.

The third brother is still alive, and the eldest and second brothers are also fine.

Everything is still too late...

"Third brother."

Shen Tingxue stretched out her arms to hug Shen Qi, closed her eyes, tears could not be held back, and slowly fell down.

"I was really stupid before, I've been hurting you all the time, I'm damned, I really want to die..."

Sometimes when Shen Tingxue thinks about those things in her previous life, she really wants to end her life with a knife.

Having experienced that personally, every time I think of that guilt, I can burn myself to death.

Even, I didn't want to face it, thinking that it would be good to lose this life.

"Little Nine!"

The medicine bottle in Shen Qi's hand slammed down on the table.

Shen Tingxue froze for an instant, too frightened to speak or even move.

Shen Qi is seldom angry, especially when he loves her almost unconditionally.

"We are really angry and saddened by what you did."

"But is there anyone in the family who really blamed you and scolded you?"

"All we hope is that you grow up happily and live in peace."

"What did daddy and elder brother stay in the frontier for several years? For the safety of our family and country, and to protect us from being bullied with the military power in our hands."

"You have come to your senses, and we are all extremely happy."

"But now you want to give up your life for a little thing, are you worthy of father and us?"

"Third brother."

Shen Tingxue was stunned, and after being scolded by Shen Qi, she became sober in an instant.

It's all over, it's a matter of the previous life.

Now that everything is back to the original point, it can be made up for, so why is she being hypocritical?
So uneasy, the last one who worried was the father and brother.

"Third Brother, what's the matter, what are you scolding Xiao Jiu for?"

After Shen Zhi finished class, he came to see his sister, and happened to meet the two brothers and sisters who were at war with each other.

He was dumbfounded!
"Little Eight."

"what?"

"Have you ever blamed Xiao Jiu?"

"No."

Shen Zhi scratched his head, "My own brothers and sisters, what is there to blame."

Although Shen Zhi was quite angry before, after Shen Tingxue turned around, his previous anger had long since dissipated.

As an older brother, how can he still be angry with his own sister?
