Chapter 155: Seventy Thousand Taels
I had never seen such a powerful woman, but when the words were spoken, the traffickers who tied up the ground went to the yamen.
Shen Shimei's face was black all the way, and he happened to pass by his house when he went to the Yamen, so he asked Xiao Tie to take the child home first, and then went directly to the Yamen with the catcher.
When Shen Shiliu was ascending, he was standing, and the mansion Yin of Luo'an City was sitting on it, and when he saw that Shen Shiliu didn't kneel, he asked, "Why don't you kneel?" ”
"I have an edict on me, my husband is Du Xuanmo, a member of the Ministry of Officials!" Shen Shiliu directly reported the name of his man, and the upper mansion Yin raised his eyelids and looked at the catcher who brought people back.
Catching Kuai is also confused, and there are many female dependents of high-ranking officials and nobles in Kyoto City, but he sees that Shen Shiliu is dressed plainly, and he doesn't look like a court wife!
Shen Shimei's face turned black after reporting her fame, the yamen was not very dedicated, if she didn't reveal that Du Xuanmo's name was in this fox and fake tiger power, there would be no explanation for this matter today!
"What's going on?" Fu Yin asked Na Kuai, who wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly said, "It was this lady who said that this person was a human trafficker and almost kidnapped her sister!" The subordinates brought it back first! ”
When Fu Yin heard this, he hurriedly said: "In this case, this lady will go home first, this person will definitely be severely punished!" ”
After Shen Shiliu finished speaking, he glanced at the catcher who had spoken badly before, and looked at the catcher straight.
Shen Shiliu finally went home, the yamen's affairs were handled by the yamen, Jingwen almost didn't turn around today, it is estimated that she was scared a lot, and she had to go back quickly.
When I got home, Jingwen was in Du Niangzi's room, Shen Shimei's head was about to wrinkle, and she would definitely be told by Du Niangzi when she went in for a while.
Sure enough, Du Niangzi saw Shen Pomegranate coming, so she said: "Pomegranate, why are you so careless, you almost lost the child when you went out!" ”
Shen Shiliu lowered his head and criticized it, letting Du Niangzi read it, Jingwen said at this time: "It's not my sister-in-law's fault, my sister-in-law saved me, and I beat the bad guy!" ”
When Du Niangzi saw Jingwen protecting Shen Shimei, she said distressedly: "Look at your hands are bruised, does it hurt?" ”
"Mother, I was wrong, that person snatched the child on the street, hugged it and ran away, and I was scared a lot." Shen Shiliu said.
Du Niangzi was also frightened when she saw Shen Shimei, so she didn't say anything more, after all, the child was recovered.
"Okay, let's go back and slow down first, the security in this Kyoto city is too bad, you can snatch children on the street, is there any royal law?" Du Niangzi said that she gave Jingwen medicine, and then asked Shen Shimei to lead Jingwen to sleep for a while.
Jingwen was also frightened, couldn't sleep, dreamed as soon as she fell asleep, and went to Lang Zhong to see and prescribe some soothing medicine.
"Sister, don't be afraid, sister-in-law is here, no one will rob you anymore!" Shen Shimei feeds Jingwen, although she is a younger sister, she is also supported as a daughter.
Jingwen nodded aggrievedly and said, "I'm afraid, I've lost my ...... before."
"Huh? Lost it before? Shen Shiliu asked a little.
Jingwen said: "My aunt said to take me to play, but I couldn't find anyone after that......"
When Shen Shiliu heard this, her brows furrowed, that aunt should be a bastard, although this family looks at the scenery, but there is also garbage inside in order to divide the property, deliberately threw away the little girl, this is too inhuman!
"No one dares to throw you after my sister-in-law!" Shen Shiliu said that Jingwen can always make her nose sour.
Coaxed the child to sleep first, and Shen Shiliu began to buy New Year's goods.
In the afternoon, I went around the street again, and the ingredients were also familiar, and the ones that were born were also decorative.
Shen Shiliu was carrying a red lantern, but there were people crying on the street, Shen Shiliu felt heartbroken just by listening to the voice, and Xiao Tie went to see what was going on.
"What's wrong?" Shen Shiliu asked the eldest sister who was watching next to her.
The eldest sister said: "The child is lost, five-year-old boy! ”
As soon as Shen Shiliu heard this, she almost lost the child in the morning, and at noon, she lost the child again?
The sister-in-law in the middle of the crowd cried miserably, looking like an ordinary person, the five-year-old son said that he would lose it, and no one could stand it. Shen Shiliu felt uncomfortable when he looked at it, and it was estimated that everyone present would feel uncomfortable when they saw such a thing.
"Have you reported to the official, if it doesn't take long, you might be able to get it back!" Shen Shiliu said, but when he thought of meeting the people from the Yamen in the morning, it was estimated that it was difficult.
"I reported it, I came to see it, and I said that I would find someone, and then I left, I want to find it, it's difficult......" The eldest sister who was watching was also desolate.
Shen Shiliu sighed, some things are really helpless, and he can only curse those thieves who steal children with a thousand cuts.
At night, Shen Shiliu thought about what happened during the day, so she wrote a letter, and she also wanted to express her inner resentment, but she couldn't do anything else except express it.
As soon as the Chinese New Year's Eve arrived, Shen Pomegranate began to work in the kitchen, and many people have now been added to the family, in addition to the first few people in Fushun, there are several more people, Shen Pomegranate gave red envelopes one by one, and the New Year is a meaning.
The sound of firecrackers has been intensive since noon, and when night falls, Shen Shimei's side is also busy, and the table is almost set up.
Fushun Xiaotie and they set up a table, Shen Shimei set up a table here, Han Shuliang and Guan Rongrong also spent the New Year in Kyoto City, and everyone gathered together.
"Xiao Tie, go to the door and take a look, is the troupe here?" Shen Shiliu directly spent money to invite the opera troupe to sing at home, there was no Spring Festival Gala, and it was lively to listen to a play.
Xiao Tie went to the door to greet people, and after a while, a donkey cart pulled things came, there were a lot of people in the troupe, and the stage was set up quickly, and when the proposal was dark, the gongs and drums sounded, and everyone was waiting to open their voices with an expectant face.
Shen Shiliu rarely listens to operas, and he has not had much contact with Peking Opera in his previous life, but there are too few channels for entertainment in this world, and he feels fresh when he listens to a play.
The song on the stage was a festive play, and Shen Shiliu remembered what it seemed to be called. 、
Du Niangzi listened to it with relish, so Shen Shimei and Jingwen picked the delicious ones to eat first. The singing on the stage finally ended for an hour and a half, and Shen Pomegranate did not forget to give people some red envelopes Tujili.
"That's cooking dumplings!" Shen Pomegranate went to the kitchen to cook dumplings, and everyone was happy after a year.
In the evening, Shen Shiliu went back to the room, Du Niangzi led Jingwen to keep the New Year, she couldn't stay up all night, so she went back to the room.
"I don't know how my stupid husband celebrates the New Year." In the dead of night, Shen Shimei was a little worried about Du Xuanmo, and Du Xuanmo would definitely not be as happy as in Kyoto City when he went out for disaster relief.
Du Xuanmo on the other end is actually not so bitter, he has done disaster relief before, but this time the scope of the disaster is relatively large, and it will take some time.
During the Chinese New Year, Du Xuanmo was busy in his residence alone, although he was affected by the disaster, but the people still hoped that the coming year would be a happy year, so they were still looking forward to the New Year.
"Young master, it's so late, you should rest." When he was about to go out, Shen Shiliu specially told him that he should take care of Du Xuanmo's three meals a day, and he must remind Du Xuanmo to eat, and Mancang did not dare to slack off.
Du Xuanmo saw that it was already midnight, and he felt a little hungry.
"Young master, let's eat dumplings, just out of the pot!" Mancang brought a bowl of dumplings, although there is no soy sauce vinegar and garlic, but it is not easy to have white bread dumplings now. Du Xuanmo gave all the white noodles to the people before, just so that the people could eat dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Du Xuanmo ate one, cabbage and radish pepper filling, anyway, there was no meat.
"I miss your young grandmother's cooking, even if there is no meat, she can make the best dishes!" Du Xuanmo said that the conditions were difficult, and the only thing he could satisfy his hunger was the sausages sent by Shen Pomegranate.
Man Cang smiled: "Don't say that the young master thinks about it, the little one also thinks about it, it's been a long time since I've had a good meal!" ”
Du Xuanmo was amused, as long as he thought of Shen Pomegranate, the corners of his mouth always rose uncontrollably, and when the crops were planted in March, he would be able to return to Kyoto City, as long as he stayed up for another three months.
"Let's eat together, it's the New Year." Du Xuanmo divided half of the dumplings to Mancang, and the two of them quickly rested after eating, and there was still something to do tomorrow.
Du Xuanmo wrote a letter back to Kyoto City, the disaster was mainly due to the flood, although the people's food problem was solved, but the water conservancy must also be strengthened, if it no longer rains, it will still be affected.
After Kyoto City received the letter, he sent someone from the Ministry of Industry to cooperate, and after Du Xuanmo read the drawings, he waited for the silver payment from the imperial court, and tomorrow was the day when the money arrived.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Du Xuanmo went to greet him, and the imperial court allocated 200,000 taels of silver to repair a canal. As a result, as soon as the handover was handed over, Du Xuanmo's face darkened, and when 200,000 taels came to him, there were only 70,000 taels left!
"Two hundred thousand taels, seventy thousand taels, and the thirteen thousand taels in the middle are all in whose pocket?" Du Xuanmo's words were rhetorical questions, he had heard the saying of "picking bamboo shoots", he pondered that as long as it was not excessive, he would turn a blind eye, and as a result, 130,000 taels evaporated at once, and 70,000 taels should be used to repair water conservancy, and what did he ask the court to allocate 200,000 yuan for?
"Send me a letter to Kyoto Castle!" How dark is Du Xuanmo's face, not to mention repairing 70,000 taels, he can't even buy the materials! And so much labor costs, what does he use to pay?
Knowing that Du Xuanmo was going to send a letter to Kyoto City, many people panicked, originally repairing water conservancy and disaster relief was an opportunity to get oil and water, so many people from top to bottom, they would take off a layer with one hand, they thought that Du Xuanmo would also pick it up, but as a result, people wanted to poke things out directly, and after the matter was revealed, all those who had done it would not be able to eat and walk!
Du Xuanmo didn't hide the news, just to let these people know, and it would take time to wait for the court to come down to investigate, and now he has to find a way, how those people masturbated at the beginning, and now they have to give it back!
