Chapter 750 from (2) ([-])
The emperor told Shen Ji privately that he originally planned to pay those big households a fortune, but he didn't expect that she would hand him a pillow when he was about to sleep.Officials from top to bottom, especially wealthy people like the Ruan family, were bleeding this time.Forty of the three-foot-square silver lumps in the Ruan family's inventory were melted and donated, which was another 100 million taels of silver.

The son and daughter-in-law of the Ruan family hated it, especially the second and third families with sons.When Ruan Liushi heard the bad news just after giving birth to her son, she really hated her deeply.However, the old man of the Ruan family was very grateful for Shen Ji's leadership.He could see that his children and grandchildren were all worthless and would not be able to keep such a large family business in the future.Looking back ten years ago, their family was sitting on a property comparable to half of the national treasury, not to mention that others, even the emperor, would covet it.It's better to donate as early as possible.However, he can no longer stand out, after all, he has already donated 50 yuan before.Therefore, now that this kind of emperor forces him to donate, he has no choice but to melt all the silver lumps accumulated by his family for family heirloom.This is to tell everyone that the family's wealth is thin.

Mrs. Ruan Shao said that she didn't care about it. Anyway, she only had one daughter, no matter how well married she was, it was just a dowry.Donate, donate, donate, so that everyone in the family will be like black-eyed chickens.

Young Mistress Rong Qi was a little worried about what she said, "It's all earned by wind and rain, why should you beat our business like this. Why don't those corrupt officials see the emperor's move?"

Mrs. Ruan Shao glanced at her, "Listen to my father-in-law, it must be their turn next. When the emperor was the prince, he hated those people the most. Oh, you said Mrs. Wei, she is planning to quit this circle and not socialize Are you done?" The father-in-law also said that the Wei family has such a head and mother, the family style is strict, and the reputation is even better. Even if Master Wei really disappears, he will definitely rise again in ten years, so she should not cut off her relationship with Mrs. Wei. .She herself is also very happy to associate with Mrs. Wei.

Young Mistress Rong Qi sighed, "Although there is no confirmation, she is unwilling to mourn. But everyone knows that Mr. Wei is probably gone. Even though he was still herding sheep in a bitter cold place before, but the emperor announced the world's commendation with great fanfare, he would There is no way out. I think he is unwilling to surrender to the enemy. Just for his own reputation, not for the sake of his wife and children at home. And if he really surrenders to the enemy, Dongchang will have to speak out. Such a good attack method is unreasonable No need. Most likely Mr. Wei is gone. So, Mrs. Wei still has no intention of going out to socialize. Otherwise, why would she sell so many houses and donate them as military funds."

"When shall we go and see her?"

"it is good."

Mr. Ruan's guess was not wrong, as expected, several corrupt officials with proven evidence of crimes were confiscated and their property was confiscated.While people are happy, there are also some people who are not stable.Those who can get so much money are naturally not ordinary people, they are all from aristocratic families.Some people are worried that the emperor is going to do something to the family.Fortunately, after these few houses, the emperor stopped.After all, the current situation cannot withstand turmoil.

When Chinese New Year was approaching, Third Uncle Shen came to the suburbs of Beijing to pick up his wife and children.It has been ten months since Wei Ying disappeared, and it has been four months since the war.By this time, almost everyone believed that Wei Ying was gone.After all, Mrs. Wang has remarried and has her own family, so she can restrain herself while being sad.Shen Ji was so thin that his face was pointed.The same is true for Xiao Quan'er, because Uncle Fifteen has also been missing for a while.

The person who performed the dance with the red sleeves had already returned, and the matter seemed to have been settled.Since the start of the war, Dongchang's intelligence agency seemed to have been taken over by someone, and no news has been sent back.Shen Ji also gave up a little, every day he urged Xiao Baozi and Xiao Mantou to study and improve, and let Xiao Zhizhi learn to take care of the family business.Even the account books of Luranlou and Baoyuezhai are sometimes looked over by Xiao Zhizhi, and she only gives pointers from the sidelines.

The only thing Shen Ji cares about now is the Compassion Society.When the war broke out, the Mercy Society organized a group of good doctors from all over the country to serve as military doctors on the front lines.It also assisted the government in a lot of resettlement of war refugees.Compassion Society has been in operation for more than ten years, and now it has a considerable scale and a high appeal.Coupled with the fact that Wei Ying's foreign shepherds are not allowed to return this time, the fact that life and death are unknown so far is even more prestigious.In Shilin, it has a high status in the hearts of the common people.

The family of four sent Wang's family away, and Shen Ji brought his children back in a low mood.She couldn't help thinking that if she hadn't insisted on marrying her adoptive mother back then, there would be someone who is as sad as her now.Then I shook my head, the thought was so selfish.

It was the day when the little prince was taking a rest, and Shen Ji took the little mantou to Banshan Temple in a carriage early in the morning.In the past, the little prince would run out to greet him with cheers. Although he was about to be seven years old, he still had the same disposition as a child, and was very different from Little Baozi.But today I didn't see him come out.On the contrary, there were monks in the Banshan Temple who came out to stop him, "Madam Wei, the prince has chickenpox, you should go back first."

Shen Ji was stunned, and then said to Xiao Mantou: "My lord is sick, let's...Little master, I have had chicken pox, let me go in and have a look. Please look at my son."

The monk said happily: "It would be great if Mrs. Wei would come in. Master Kaye is losing his temper."

"Ok?"

"I came back last night and found that something was wrong, so I sent someone to report to the palace. The imperial doctor came overnight. But the concubine Yu is not as good as my wife. The prince is confused now, and he keeps calling his mother on the bed."

As far as Shen Ji knew, Concubine Yu also had chickenpox, and there was still a mark on her nose, which looked extraordinarily playful.This son has chickenpox, so he refuses to come and see for himself.For so many years, although the little prince has been taken away from her again and again, the little prince has no control over himself.It is true that chickenpox may recur, but it is too much for a mother to do even this.

The little mantou said: "My lord is so pitiful! Mom, let me go and see him too."

"You are not allowed to go, you have never had chickenpox."

The little monk said: "Young master, let's go eat some vegetarian snacks with the monk."

"Go."

Someone else came and brought Shen into the room. The little prince was hugged by a benevolent old monk, and he couldn't stop writhing, yelling and itching in his mouth for a while, and calling his mother for a while.Sometimes I don't even know what he's talking about.

Hearing Shen Ji's footsteps, the old monk turned his head and nodded to her. Naturally, Shen Ji was also taken aback, but the old doubts were suddenly resolved.This is definitely Prince Chun himself, he really looks like the emperor.Shen Ji bowed and said: "I have seen the master!"

Master Kaye saw the flash of surprise on Shen Ji's face, "Master Wei is indeed a man of his word."

Shen Ji smiled, "I'll come and see the prince."

"Hey, look at it. The doctor used the medicine, and it would be better to say that it was forced out. It looks a little scary now."

"I've had acne before." Shen Ji stepped forward.
