Chapter Seventy-Eight: Good deeds must be done by oneself to be famous

Nian Lan smiled, reached out and rubbed Ruonan's hair and said:

"Since you fell, I haven't had time to go to the house for a walk. Our entire backyard is divided into two parts. It's a little wider on our side, and it's a little narrower on the second grandfather's side. There is a main courtyard in the middle, where my grandmother now lives. ”

Shang Ruonan sighed and said:

"Okay, when I'm healed, my sister will take me away. But I think our businesses are very big. ”

As he was talking, Shang Dongliang came back. Come in and see:

"Ruonan, although you can sit up, you can't sit for too long. Dr. Wen said..."

"Your bones are still weak, you can't push too hard!"

Before Shang Dongliang finished speaking, Shang Ruonan picked up. Then he pouted:

"Dad, you've said it a few times today. I'll memorize it. ”

Shang Dongliang looked at his daughter fondly, but Mrs. Shang on the side said sharply:

"Wakao! Nothing big or small. When your father came into the house, you didn't say anything before you gave a salute, and your father accused you, and you still answered. Where is this tutor? It was up to you the other day. That's because you just hurt your head, and now, your grandmother is coming back. If she sees you like this, she'll punish you! ”

Mrs. Shang poured cold water so coldly, Shang Ruonan was a little stunned at the moment, but Nianlan turned pale and hurriedly got up and saluted her father. Recently, with my sister, some etiquette in front of my parents has become casual. I'll have to remind the other sisters later, I'll have to pay attention to it later. If......

Shang Dongliang frowned lightly and said:

"It's in our house, and the kid has just gotten sick. In the future, remember that when you go out or in other places, you still have to pay attention. ”

Shang Ruonan looked at this father who directly favored his daughter, and added an appreciation to his attitude towards him!

However, from their words, Shang Ruonan was wary of his grandmother who was going home!

"You just spoil them, you don't have to feel sorry if you are punished!"

Mrs. Shang looked at Shang Dongliang a little helplessly. Shang Dongliang Road:

"Who's going to deliver the letter? Is my mother coming back? ”

"The porter came up and said that it was a message from a little nun, saying that you should go to the nunnery to pick up your mother."

Mrs. Shang replied, and when she talked about the nunnery, she thought of Ruonan's words just now, and she couldn't help but be a little funny.

Master Shang frowned lightly and said:

"It's impossible to pass today, and the city gates will be closed in a while. Tomorrow, I won't be able to go tomorrow. Today, Lord Hu called me over, just to apologize, and said that he would be responsible for Ruonan's medical expenses, but I refused. I can afford this, but Master Hu asked me to follow him to the east of the city tomorrow, saying that he had something to tell me. I'm supposed to get down. You said that if I don't go, doesn't it seem that we are still thinking about Ruonan? ”

Mrs. Shang thought about it and said:

"yes, I can't help but go."

Nian Lan on the side:

"Dad, I'll go, I'll pick up my grandmother at the nunnery. I also sent things to my grandmother, but I know the way, or let Aunt Juan go with me. ”

"Nianlan, I think this arrangement is reasonable. Last time, it was also something that Nianlan went to give to her grandmother. It's just you to remember. I want to give some merit to the hermitage. Then I picked up my grandmother and left. ”

I heard that I still have to give money to the hermitage, and the family already owes money, so what kind of merit do you have to give? Shang Ruonan, who didn't quite believe this, frowned. If you say that the family is rich, then it is good to give a little. Now my family is stretched. If you also donate merit, that's a bit too much.

Shang Nianlan nodded in response. Shang Ruonan asked in a whisper:

"Dad, how much do you have to donate?"

Shang Dongliang thought about it:

"It's going to be the New Year. We'll donate two thousand taels. Last month, I went to see your grandmother and donated 1,000 taels! ”

According to their own recent conclusions. One thousand taels, in this era, is enough for a month's expenses of his big family. There are hundreds of people up and down this house. This is also a donation of 2,000!

Shang Ruonan muttered a little unhappily:

"Do the nuns in the nunnery want to eat meat during the New Year? How can you donate more during the Chinese New Year? ”

Nian Lan, who was standing next to Ruonan, heard it, pulled her mouth, and didn't dare to laugh, but lowered her head, and could see that she was very uncomfortable.

Shang Dongliang didn't hear clearly, and said:

"What do you say, speak louder!"

Shang Ruonan really said loudly:

"Dad, I mean, why do you have to donate more during the Chinese New Year, and do the nuns also have to eat meat during the New Year?"

"Poof!"

This time, it was Shang Dongliang's turn to spray tea. Glaring at his daughter, he said:

"There are no rules, Bodhisattva is also what you said?"

Shang Ruonan is not afraid of his father, and said:

"I didn't say Bodhisattva. You say nuns, oh no, it's the masters. Aren't they six pure roots, how can they ask for so much silver? There are so many people in our family, we still have to eat meat, and we have to use thousands of taels a month. They didn't mean there were just about twenty people. They are all vegetarians. Why so much money? We also donate money to repair the nunnery, and we donate money to the Bodhisattva, so you didn't calculate this account, where did the money go? In that nunnery, not much good deeds were done. This is the only one that can't be collected. What about money? ”

Shang Dongliang was dumbfounded! I didn't expect this little girl to settle accounts here! And it is said that the head is the way, but do you dare to check this account yourself? If you think about it carefully, in the past few years, I have given tens of thousands of taels of silver to the nunnery every year. Every time I go, I donate at least 1,000 taels!

I usually have a lot of money, but I think I have done my best to donate to the Bodhisattva, but I have never calculated this account!

Shang Dongliang was stunned.

Shu Yunniang didn't want to count this, so she frowned and scolded Ruonan:

"You're young, what are you going to do with this? That's a bodhisattva, but you can't afford to offend. If only your grandmother knew. You can't eat and walk away. ”

Shang Ruonan stuck out his tongue, but he was still unconvinced. Keep this matter in mind, thinking that you must always find out about it. I can't let my family's money just throw it away for nothing.

Besides, even if you do good deeds, you do them at home, so why give this reputation for kindness to others? Don't say it, people still say that the merchant is to throw money for a son, if he doesn't give birth to a son, people can't laugh at the merchant even more?

Shang Ruonan didn't know if his father had thought of this, but he wrote it down.

When Nian Lan heard her sister say this, she also asked hesitantly:

"Dad, then I'm going to pick up my grandmother tomorrow, do I donate or not? If you donate, how much will you donate? I think Xiao Si'er is reasonable. But if you don't donate. Grandmother's face can't get by, I'm afraid it's not good. ”
