Chapter 69: The Ancient Sword (2)
Li Heng paused, looked at Shen Yuzhu and said, "Back to the eldest lady's words, the eldest young master has earned a lot of silver these days." ”
Shen Yuzhu nodded.
So much grain, cloth and silver frost charcoal, all of which were transported back in advance by Shen Zhiyi from other places before, and hoarded.
These things are now scarce in Yunzhou City, especially Silver Frost Charcoal, which is twenty times more profitable.
Li Heng looked at Shen Yuzhu cautiously and said, "The eldest young master, these days, I see that there are more and more hungry people in the city, and such tragic things as selling sons and daughters also happen frequently. ”
"Did he keep the price of rice down?" Shen Yuzhu looked at the account book in his hand and said lightly.
Li Heng was stunned suddenly, the eldest lady actually guessed.
Although now the eldest young master is on the bright side, he has earned a lot of silver.
But those capitals were given to the eldest young master by the eldest lady, and the eldest young master looked at the world pitifully and wanted to lower the price of rice and grain, and did not want to starve to death too much.
This is certainly a good deed, but it is the eldest lady's silver that is lost.
Taking someone else's money to send this kind of unrequited favor, the eldest young master really has no face to say it to Shen Yuzhu personally.
Shen Yuzhu raised her eyes to look at Li Heng and smiled, "I sent you to the eldest young master on an errand these days, what do you think of the eldest young master?" ”
Liu Heng hurriedly smiled and said, "Everyone says that businessmen are profitable, but the little one has been with the eldest young master, but he doesn't think so." ”
"The eldest young master is really a good person! A good guy with a special sense of righteousness! ”
Shen Yuzhu's heart warmed, in the previous life, Shen Zhiyi poured all her family wealth for her affairs, and was finally killed by Lu Zhuo, and all she wanted to do was to rescue her.
Because he lived with her biological mother Xiao for three years when he was a child, Xiao treated him very well.
Just for the warmth of these three years, he even risked his own life.
Such a person must be a gentleman!
How could he hold the grain in his own hands and watch the people starve to death?
Shen Zhiyi is not the kind of person who makes money with a black heart.
Shen Yuzhu looked at Li Heng and said with a smile, "If he doesn't do this, he won't be Shen Zhiyi." ”
Li Heng's eyes lit up, in this way, is the eldest lady willing to push down the price of rice and grain?
Shen Yuzhu said with a smile: "You go back and tell the eldest young master that the price of rice and grain will be reduced by another three percent, and rationing will be implemented." ”
"The eldest young master's Shen Ji Rice Shop sent a guy to send a voucher to each family in Yunzhou City who were in difficulty."
"Take this voucher to Shen Ji Rice Shop to buy grain at a low price, which can prevent other rice shops from sending people to secretly buy our surplus grain."
"It can also ensure that every family can buy cheap food, and no one will starve to death."
"If you hoard Juqi at this time and force the hungry people to rebel, then it will be dangerous!"
Shen Yuzhu smiled faintly, "The businessman who raises prices at this time, I'm afraid that the silver at this time is easy to swallow, and the head will not be good in the future!" ”
Li Heng's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly came to his senses.
Now the eldest young master, the eldest lady does things, which is not only a good deed, but also a good deed to save your life!
Shen Yuzhu handed the account book in his hand to Li Heng and said, "You take it back and hand it over to the eldest young master, and you can also tell him today." ”
"No matter what he wants to do in the future, he doesn't have to take care of me, he, I can trust him completely."
In the last life's fateful friendship, she Shen Yuzhu trusted this cousin the most.
Li Heng hurriedly took the account book and retreated.
Shen Yuzhu was just about to rest on the pillow for a while, but Mama Li, who didn't want to be beside Old Madam Shen of Songlin Pavilion, walked over quickly.
"Miss, old lady, please go to Songlin Pavilion!"
Shen Yuzhu frowned.
Old Mrs. Shen has been a little obedient after being touched by Lu Ying's soft and hard nails a few times these days.
Why is Yunzhou City in chaos like this now, and what does she want to do at this moment.
Before, Mrs. Shen saw that the dowry brought by Lu Ying was very rich, and wanted Lu Ying to buy her a statue of Jade Guanyin.
was flatly rejected by Lu Ying, and Mrs. Shen also talked about the first Mrs. Xiao.
said that Lu Ying was not as virtuous as his first wife, and he was not filial to her, an old woman.
Lu Ying was not polite in front of Shen Yuzhu, and only said that Mrs. Xian was a fool and filial piety.
The old lady was suddenly furious, and wanted to suppress it as an elder, but she couldn't compare to others.
After fighting back and forth a few times, crying and making trouble, the matter was over.
Mama Li looked at Shen Yuzhu's unhappy face, and hurriedly smiled with a smile: "The old lady is still talking about you these days, what about you, the eldest lady, do you want to see if you are well?" ”
Shen Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh secretly, she was sick before, and she didn't see her grandmother come to take a look, but now she is concerned.
Eighty percent wanted the dowry that Lu Ying brought over.
His mother is a fool, and the dowry is all subsidized by the Shen family.
Lu Ying held the dowry firmly in her hands, and her grandmother was naturally angry when she saw that she was greedy but couldn't spend a penny.
Sure enough, the old lady in the countryside can't put the idea on the table, how can the mother-in-law of the house always worry about her daughter-in-law's dowry?
But Mrs. Shen please, Shen Yuzhu can't go.
She got up to freshen up and change her clothes, and took Yunxiang to follow Mama Li to the Songlin Pavilion.
As soon as she stepped into the main hall of the Pine Forest Pavilion, she felt that the atmosphere was not right.
Old Madam Shen sat upright with a calm face.
Lu Ying, who was wearing a lilac hundred butterfly pattern skirt, sat at the lower hand of Old Madam Shen, her face was also cold, and she only raised her eyes and smiled at her after seeing Shen Yuzhu.
Shen Zhili and Shen Zhishu sat on the opposite side.
His father, Shen Xiaowen, has been busy on the river embankment recently, and when he was dying, the officials of Yunzhou City were eager to fill the hole that was washed out by the flood by themselves.
Shen Yuzhu hurriedly rushed to the old lady Shen who was in the right position and saluted Lu Ying.
Then Shen Zhishu and Shen Zhili slowly got up and saluted Shen Yuzhu and sat down.
After Shen Yuzhu sat down next to Lu Ying, she looked at Mrs. Shen with a smile and said, "Grandmother called a few of us today, isn't it going to be a banquet?" ”
"Huh! What kind of guests are invited? I can't open the pot at home! Old Madam Shen snorted coldly and glanced at Lu Ying lightly.
Shen Yuzhu felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, and originally wanted to make a few jokes to help Lu Ying relieve the siege.
I don't want Old Madam Shen to say such things harshly.
Old Madam Shen sneered and said, "My family's food and clothing are getting more and more shabby, and I have that idle silver, but I help those starving ghosts outside!" ”
"Even though people outside say that the Shen family's housewife is a good person, they don't want to detain the house, and make up for irrelevant things, but it's really good!"
Shen Yuzhu was stunned.
Lu Ying is a righteous woman.
She has opened the most porridge shacks in Yunzhou City these days, and she has taken out the most relief money.
Now when everyone talks about Mrs. Shen of the Shen family, they have to praise her as a living bodhisattva.
But no matter what Lu Ying does, how much money he spends is his own money, and to be honest, he doesn't have much to do with their Shen family.
On the contrary, the Shen family has earned a lot of good reputation because of Lu Ying, which is also good for his father Shen Xiaowen in his career.
With such a good reputation, even if the girls of the Shen family say that they are close in the future, they will not be bad.
I don't want the old lady to talk about this, it's a bit inappropriate.
Lu Ying's face changed slightly, and he smiled coldly and said, "Mother, if you say something else, I, as a junior, will admit it." ”
"But you said that I deducted the Shen family, and I am in this pot
