Chapter 471 Confidence (2) ([-])
Shen Ji felt that it was time for her to do something.Opening a restaurant is not just about earning money, Shen Ji has inquired carefully, like Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Guan who taught scriptures in the past, they all have a good reputation.It is impossible for wives, concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, and family to be happy like Mrs. Wang, but it is possible to take the lead in doing good deeds like Mrs. Guan.Of course, another reason for Madam Guan's great reputation is that she speaks scriptures well, and she also lectures to the Queen Mother.

This time, Wei Ying was forced to take a concubine. If he could have such a good reputation as his wife, he might be forced to do so.But doing charity, especially long-term charity, requires money.Mrs. Guan called on so many high-ranking officials and wives in the capital to contribute money together, but Yangzhou Prefecture does not have so many wealthy high-ranking officials.Even if there is, at the beginning of the start-up, only myself has a little more.The Wei family can afford this money, but Shen Ji wants to do it for a long time. More than half of Wei Ying's money now is fixed assets, and he has various human relations, so he has to spend a lot of money.Even the last time the river embankment was built, the official money was not in place in time, so they paid 3 taels of silver in advance, and went to the Ruan family to wait for the wealthy households to beat the autumn wind.At that time, the expenditure of the inner court was also reduced.Although the money will be allocated from above, but sometimes it is needed urgently, so it has to be kept.It's not that easy to be a parent officer.

Shen Ji thought about it, he has always liked doing business, why not expand the business step by step.With more money in hand, things will be easier to handle.In this way, while earning money, doing charity at the same time, in the end it is a matter of fame and fortune.Moreover, what she wants to do is not to build a gold pagoda that is so beautiful but not too affordable.From the fact that she sends money to Hua'an every year, one is to send children from poor families to study, and the other is to support the marriage of women who have no money to buy dowry. It can be seen that what she wants to do is practical.She knows that there are many unfortunate people in the world who cannot be managed, and they should help themselves.But like women and children, they can't study hard like Wei Ying in order to change their fate. It would be a good thing if someone can help.In the past seven years, there have been many children from poor families in Hua'an Prefecture who have gone to school because of the money they sent back.Many women who were too old to marry because they had no dowry were able to marry and have children.

If you have more money in hand, you can benefit one party by benefiting one township.Moreover, my life has a focus of not being attached to my husband and son-in-law, and I can regain the confidence that was indispensable in the Wei family in the past, so why not do it.

As for Wei Ying, I didn't expect her to have such a deep plan at this time, I just thought that since she was bored, it would be good to do something.She took good care of the family and children.

"Daddy!" Xiao Zhima nestled in Wei Ying's arms, wriggling coquettishly.

Wei Ying frowned, "You want to ride a horse again?"

"Uh-huh."

"Then, give Daddy a kiss first."

Xiao Zhizhi stood up and washed Wei Ying's face with saliva without hesitation.Wei Ying lifted her onto his shoulders and sat down, "Look, my little sesame is so tall."

Shen Ji raised the curtain and came in, seeing that Wei Ying turned into a loving father again when there was no one there, he found it quite funny.Now even Xiao Zhizhi knows that only acting like a baby when no one is around is the answer to all requests.

"The painter is here, let's go." Tomorrow is Xiao Zhizhi's first birthday. Shen Ji thought that in his previous life, he would go to the photo studio to take a photo to record his growth every year, so he agreed with Wei Ying to find a painter today. Came to do portraits of a family of three.Tomorrow is the day, and there are many people on the ground in Yangzhou who are coming, and they don't have the time.

Wei Ying began to say that you can just hold her and draw, or if I draw for you, why invite an outsider to come.

Shen Ji knew that it was awkward for him to take pictures of the portraits.Then he said: "Okay, if you don't paint, don't paint. It's just that the children and grandchildren will ask why you are missing from the family portrait, don't say I didn't let you go up."

Wei Ying thought about it, if it was kept year after year, it would be quite interesting to show the children and grandchildren or see it by themselves.Moreover, even the name Chong Family Portrait couldn't be done without him, so he agreed.

Shen Ji saw that his clothes were wrinkled a lot by Xiao Zhizhi, so he opened the closet and found a new one for him to change into, and then Xiao Zhizhi, of course he had to change.Xiaozhizhi is very active after being fostered by Shen, changing clothes several times a day is common.At this moment, they also raised their hands and feet cooperatively. The mother said that she was going to change into new clothes and draw a beautiful little sesame, and agreed with her to hang some beautiful jewelry on her body.Xiaozhizhi likes those red, yellow, yellow, white, white, green and green jewelry very much.

Cailan hung up the objects for her according to her request, which was wrong no matter how you looked at it.But Xiaozhizhi refused to let her take it off.Shen Ji took care of Wei Ying and came over, burst out laughing, "Little Zhizhi, do you want to be a Christmas tree? Or are you hanging a military medal? It's not too cumbersome to get so many." The ruby ​​necklace, suet and white jade bracelet were all taken off.Leaving only the collar, gold lock, bracelet and anklet that a child should wear, he carried her out.

A family of three sat in the pavilion with the lotus in the garden as the background, and asked the painter to paint.Shen Ji knew that Xiaozhizhi was only fresh for a while and would not sit for long, and Wei Ying also felt that it was uncomfortable to let others paint without moving for a long time, so he asked people to go out to find an artist who could remember the painting in his heart after seeing it.Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, Xiaozhizhi writhed on Shen Ji's lap and asked to get off the ground.Shen Ji let her go down, and she took Cailan's hand and went to watch the fish.However, after only a few steps, he reached out for a hug.

Wei Ying felt uncomfortable a long time ago, and said "I'll go back to the study" before running away.

Shen Ji saw that the artist indicated that he was fine, so he also left with a smile. An hour later, a freshly baked family portrait was placed on the table in her small study.Shen Ji was very satisfied after looking at it, even the patterns on the little sesame bracelet and the ornaments on her head were drawn in detail, and the characters were vivid and impressive.No wonder it can make a name for itself in Yangzhou.

"Take ten taels of silver and give it to the painter. It's a good way to thank you. Then send it to a familiar calligraphy and painting shop, and say that I want to keep it for a long time for my children and grandchildren, and let them frame it properly."

"Yes."

"Ningbi, come with me to Luanlou to see how the preparations for tomorrow's birthday party are going."

"Yes."

The official office of the government office is not spacious, and it is okay for a family of three to live in it, but it is indeed a bit cramped for a big banquet.This is because they are the magistrate's family and live in the widest place.For other officials, there are wives and concubines at home, and groups of children are not enough to live in.Those who have money can rent houses or even buy houses to live in, while those who have no money can only squeeze.On the surface, the salaries of officials are not high, so even if the officials in Yangzhou are very rich, they will not be rich on the surface.Therefore, except for those who already have money at home, they basically live in the government offices provided.

And Xiaozhizhi's birthday banquet will definitely become an opportunity for people from all walks of life to curry favor with the magistrate, and there must be a lot of people coming.Therefore, Shen Ji decided the place for the banquet to be in the Luran Building.On the same day, the second floor was set up, besides the private room, there were [-] other tables, which was enough.As for the first floor, business as usual.Anyway, another door was opened on the second floor to enter.
