Chapter 61: The Divine Decree

"Brother Shu, you have the world in your heart, and you will shine wherever you are, so Prince Ben will not force you." The prince saw the sincerity of what Shu Ruo said, so he was not reluctant.

After the prince left, Shu Ruo beat her chest and paused, she regretted it. I have always said that I want to cultivate my own power. In ancient times, officials crushed people to death, unlike a modern society governed by the rule of law. She also knows that with an official position, her future road will be much smoother.

I only sighed that I was not a man, and the monthly salary was not high enough to make me risk being killed to enter the career. Let's open your own shop honestly.

The four princes are in the carriage.

"The prince is looking for you?"

"Found, how do you know?"

"When I picked you up yesterday, I saw him in the crowd. Thinking that he might be looking for you today. ”

"What a clever calculation!"

"What is he looking for you?"

"Guess?" Shu Ruo said playfully.

"In the several towns around Yanjing that were affected by the heavy snow, the second brother implemented your Jingyixuan soup kitchen, which was quite effective, and the displaced people were properly resolved. The prince should have come to you to talk about it. ”

"Yes and no, he wants to ask me to be an official." Shu Ruo pouted.

Leng Han looked at it and felt cute, "Then how did you reply." ”

"Tobe Langzhong, what about the five products, I actually refused. It's a shame that I don't even believe it's me. As he spoke, he made a five-to-five comparison with his hand.

"It's a pity, he's generous and gives you the beauty of the household." Even if you are a little measured, you know that you can't get into the office.

"Actually, I want to agree, but there are too few moons, and I can't afford to support my Jingyixuan's family."

"I didn't see it, but I heard that you also gave a promise to the homeless people who got the ribbon. It can be seen that you have strong assets. Leng Han joked.

"Where? I'm calling it a swollen face and a fat man, okay. It's just to give them more hope when they can't go on. I always think that if I get into trouble, I will hope that someone will come to help me. Shu Ruo said seriously.

"Well, this king will help you."

"Oops, why has the topic become serious, let's change the topic." Why did he say it so seriously?

"Okay, here's for you."

Shu Ruo took a small bottle, opened it and smelled it, the faint fragrance was very good.

"What is this? It smells good. ”

"It's called snowflake, and you can usually use it to wipe your face or hands."

Shu Ruo poured a little and wiped it evenly on his hands, it was quite moisturizing, is this an ancient skin care product?

"Thank you." This prince has been so strange lately, it seems that he always sends me things since he closed his clothes. Just treat him to his employees, and give me some sweetness from time to time, so that I can work harder to help him earn money.

After the heavy snow completely stopped, Jing Yixuan also gave porridge for two days, for a total of six days. Because of the silver from Leng Han, Leng Yan and the sponsorship of the tenth princess, Shu Ruo didn't spend anything, but just used up the rice he hoarded and the ordinary fabrics left over from the previous ready-to-wear shop.

These are not nothing, but the worse thing is that everyone is exhausted, and the kitchen has not stopped for six whole days. In order to make down jackets, cotton clothes and other needlework will be used, and they are also used to sew clothes at night.

Good boss Shu Ruo, this time everyone has a collective holiday, and Jingyixuan Jingshang is closed for a day. It was this day of closure that Shu Ruo escaped.

The Imperial Study.

"Someone invited?" The emperor looked at the crown prince with the music in his hand at the moment.

"Back to my father, Shu Ruo doesn't plan to enter the office."

"Oh?" The emperor frowned slightly.

"The son asked him to be in the middle of the household, but he refused."

"Hebu Langzhong, Zheng Wupin he actually refused, could it be that you think that your Xu official is too small?"

"In Erchen's opinion, Shu Ruo really doesn't plan to enter the office. He told his sons that there were too few officials to be an official. He has a large family to raise. ”

"This Shu Ruo is a bold man, and he dares to say in front of you that I have given too little money." The emperor had a smile in his eyes, but he was not angry.

"Erchen thinks it's the same, his temperament is too casual, and he probably feels that his career will be restricted." The prince laughed.

"It seems that the prince is quite interested in this Shu Ruo!"

"Erchen likes his temperament quite a lot, such a true temperament is rare."

"Then he has a big family to support."

The crown prince told the emperor in detail what he had learned about Shu Ruo's process from taking in Xi'er at the beginning to taking in Jingyixuan and everyone, and even raising more than 30 people in total until now.

When the emperor heard this, he sighed that Yanjing, which was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and so many people still had problems eating. The lack of self-management is only the appearance of prosperity. At the same time, he appreciated the benevolent heart of a little person like Shu Ruo, and only sighed for his own shortcomings.

"That's it, since he doesn't want to join the ranks, and he still has a big family to support, let's reward him with some silver."

"Father is wise. Xiao Jiu, Xiao Shi has a close relationship with this Shu Ruo, I don't know if my father still has an impression, Xiao Shi mentioned Shu Ruo at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, and the previous incident of the portrait of Xiao Si who was full of wind and rain in the city, that painter is this Shu Ruo. As he spoke, the prince remembered the funny portraits of Xiao Si and Xiao Jiu, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha......" the emperor laughed, "It turns out that those portraits were painted by him, and his courage is really not small, not to mention that it is the first time I have seen Xiao Si deflated, and I want to meet this Shu Ruo when I find time." After speaking, I reminisced about the portraits of those little four and little ten, and couldn't stop laughing.

Jingshang, which was closed for a day, just opened the door of Jingyixuan, and the grocery store owner on the left of Jingyixuan came to visit the door. The grocery store owner informed Shu Ruo. Yesterday, a group of people came to the door of Jing Yi Xuan, and they waited at the door for an hour, but they didn't see Jing Yi Xuan and Jing Sheng open the door, so they went to his shop to inquire. The grocery store owner looked at the man's sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and he didn't look like a good person, and fooled him. I saw him with the group of people waiting at the door of Jingyixuan until noon before leaving.

Shu Ruo often buys and patronizes the grocery store next door, which can be regarded as a little friendship with the grocery store owner, and the grocery store owner next door to his own shop has a little more attention, and is a little worried about whether Jing Yixuan has offended someone. Therefore, when he saw Jing Yixuan open the door, he immediately asked Shu Ruo to talk about it.

Shu Ruowei, who was big-hearted, didn't think much about it, and thought that some homeless people who didn't know thought that Jing Yixuan would continue to give porridge yesterday, so they would come to the door of the shop to gather and wait. Seeing that the shop has not been open for a whole day, it is natural to know that the soup kitchen is over, and the people will naturally disperse. She didn't take it seriously anyway.

At noon, Shu Ruo was discussing the details of the production of a dress with Master Zhang in Jingshang, and Liuzi hurriedly came to find her. didn't say what was going on, just said that a few strange people came to Jing Yixuan and told her to hurry up.

I saw an old man waiting in Jingyixuan with two little eunuchs. It's no wonder that Liuzi felt strange, when did Liuzi feel strange, when did Liuzi see an old man with a long white and clean beard, and he spoke softly with his orchid fingers.

The old eunuch saw Shu Ruo who came over in a hurry and asked, "You are Shu Ruo?" ”

"Yes."

"The miscellaneous family has come to give you good news. Get down on your knees and take the order! ”

Although Shu Ruo didn't like kneeling very much, she knew that reading the holy decree was like the emperor coming in person, and she needed to kneel down these red tape. When everyone in Jingyixuan saw Shu Ruo kneeling, they all knelt down one after another.

After the old eunuch saw that everyone knelt down, he slowly opened the holy decree and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said: Jingyi Xuan's owner Shu Ruo, who has both ability and political integrity, is willing to be kind and charitable, this time he has made a meritorious contribution to helping the displaced people, and he will be given a hundred taels of gold as a reward, Qin this!" ”

Shu Ruo's eyes lit up suddenly, how much is a hundred taels of gold for silver? There are 1,000 taels of silver, this emperor is quite bold, after all, he didn't do anything. For this windfall, Shu Ruole was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and rewarded the old eunuch who came to announce the decree with twenty taels of silver.

The sixth son looked at the ten small gold ingots in Shu Ruo's hand, and asked with a happy face, "Childe, is this really gold?" It's the first time I've seen so much gold when the six sons are so big! ”

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen Childe." If this 100 taels of gold is worth more than 1 million in modern times, gold is not as valuable as it is in modern times.

This sudden reward from the emperor, Shu Ruo couldn't react for a while. It must have something to do with the prince who came before.
