Chapter 105: National Debt
After Du Xuanmo sent the bricks, his life continued, and soon there was a holy decree at the end of Kyoto City to thoroughly investigate the fact that the people's food was withheld. As soon as the holy decree was issued, the people of Fengyang County were all shocked, they thought that things were done without leakage, and those foolish people only had to accept it, but they didn't think that the incident would happen so soon! The people's food was soon replenished, and those who should be caught were killed and killed, Xiang Ye gave Du Xuanmo a secret letter, and Xiang Ye cleaned up several political enemies in one go, and naturally praised Du Xuanmo.
Du Xuanmo was satisfied, so he could be regarded as having passed the level of Xiangye.
Shen Shiliu was also happy when she heard about Du Xuanmo's Qingtian move, she was actually worried that Du Xuanmo would change his taste after entering the officialdom, although the water was clear, there would be no fish, but if she did something sorry for the people, she would always be poked in the back, she didn't want to see Du Xuanmo become mercenary.
After noon, Shen Pomegranate took out the meals of the Du family's mother and son, and seeing that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Shen Pomegranate had a bold idea.
"I'd like to buy an ice cellar." Shen Shiliu said that there were no conditions before, but now that there are conditions, you should also get some ice cubes and get some new tricks in summer.
When Shen's father heard that he wanted to make an ice cellar: "The ice cellar can be dug up, but where can I get the ice cubes?" ”
Shen Shiliu is also pondering, it is inconvenient to not have a refrigerator.
"I'll inquire first, and when we're done, we'll have time to dig the ice cellar!" Shen Shiliu said slowly, if you can't inquire, it won't take any trouble.
At this time, Du Niangzi came to pick up the meal, and she was a little embarrassed to see that the Shen family was eating.
Shen Shiliu got up and sent the food box over, and then said, "There is a big tonic soup tonight, and my aunt should drink more!" ”
"Thank you, Pomegranate!" Du Niangzi said with a smile that since Shen Pomegranate came, she and Du Xuanmo have a tendency to gain weight, Du Xuanmo is now taken care of by Shen Pomegranate for three meals a day, and he looks much more energetic than before.
"It's fine!" Shen Shiliu replied and sent Du Niangzi away, and Zheng said: "It's much better to see you take care of their mother and son than to us!" Although he was a little jealous, his tone was still spoiled.
Shen Shiliu smiled: "Everyone has a share, everyone has a share!" "My mother is also cute when she is jealous.
One afternoon, Shen Pomegranate was guarding the pot in the kitchen, and she couldn't help but want to drink the old turtle soup stewed in it.
In the evening, Shen Pomegranate came down in his spare time, brought a pot of tonic soup, and took a large jar after serving a bowl for one person.
"Sister, let's have such a small bowl by ourselves, you have such a big jar ......" Zheng Erzhu felt that the old man said that the girls were extroverted was really not in vain.
Shen Shiliu smiled: "There are still in the pot, you are indispensable!" ”
Shen Shimei washed the restaurant clean with water, and just as he was about to fill the soup, Du Xuanmo arrived at the door.
"Huh? Why are you here today? Released? Shen Shiliu said, but he was happy in his heart, it was not easy to meet a boyfriend who was busy with work.
Du Xuanmo almost fainted as soon as he entered the door, Shen Shimei was startled, and hurriedly helped the person up.
"What's wrong?" Zheng was also startled, and hurriedly asked Zheng Erzhu to help people into the backyard.
Shen Shiliu was worried, Du Xuanmo was a mortal in the flesh, he was so tired every day, and it was estimated that he would have a shorter life than the emperor in the future.
Father Shen hurriedly went to find the doctor, the doctor picked his eyelids and pinched his wrists, Zheng was anxious: "What's wrong with him?" ”
The doctor turned around and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I can't sleep well and I'm tired, and my body can't stand it after a long time!" ”
Shen Shimei's face twitched, she usually made some delicious food so that Du Xuanmo was full and had the strength to work, but she was so busy that she couldn't sleep, she was going to die!
"Ahem!" Du Xuanmo on the bed coughed lightly, and Shen Shiliu hurriedly looked over.
Du Xuanmo slowly opened his eyes, and was still a little stunned when he saw that the person in front of him was Shen Pomegranate.
"You're awake, and it's a shame that your legs are fast, I guess you'll lie down on the street if it's too late!" Shen Shiliu said, his mouth full of hatred.
Du Xuanmo sat up, touched his head, and finally smiled bitterly: "I don't know why I'm dizzy." ”
"The doctor can say, if you don't sleep well every day, you have a nervous breakdown!" Shen Shiliu said, and then asked Zheng Erzhu to serve a bowl of old turtle soup.
Du Xuanmo was also helpless: "It's really too many things......"
Shen Pomegranate took the old turtle soup from Zheng Erzhu's hand and fed it to Du Xuanmo spoonful by spoonful, Zheng saw this situation, they were also redundant, so he tugged at Shen's father's sleeve to take people away.
Zheng Erzhu was still stupidly watching the excitement, and was directly taken out by Zheng's ears.
There were only two people left in the house, Shen Shimei and Du Xuanmo, and Shen Shimei said, "Why is there so much trouble in the Yamen?" Aren't there many officials in the yamen? Why are they all working alone? ”
Du Xuanmo drank half a bowl of soup and felt some strength, so he chatted slowly with Shen Shimei.
"The yamen has changed blood before, and many officials have just been arranged, and many things are not yet proficient, so I have to do more."
Shen Shiliu pursed his lips, very dissatisfied.
"You've done all their work, aren't you going to share their money and credit?" Shen Shiliu said, these people may not be able to do things, if they really can't do things, they won't be assigned, it is clear that these people are lazy and slippery!
Du Xuanmo smiled and said: "You still feel sorry for me, but these people can't afford to offend, the Xiangye planted it, it is estimated that it will be useful to keep it, if I don't care, I will probably have someone sue me in the future." ”
Shen Shiliu also understood that he couldn't help himself in the officialdom, and he used to think that it was not bad for Du Xuanmo to have a chance to rise to prominence, but now that he looks at it, he is not as comfortable as when he lived a poor life before.
"Let's drink soup first, we didn't tell your mother, so as to save her old man from worrying, but you, you should sleep and sleep, you live every day, you can still work without sleeping?" Shen Shiliu fed the remaining half bowl of soup and said, "At this time, you shouldn't want to go back to the yamen, right?" ”
Du Xuanmo originally wanted to go back to the Yamen, but seeing Shen Shiliu like this, it was estimated that if he dared to go to Shen Shimei again, he could only break his legs.
"No, I'll go home after a while." Du Xuanmo said.
Hearing Du Xuanmo say this, Shen Shimei's face softened a little, got up and said, "You lie down first, I'll go and make you something to eat." ”
Shen Shiliu found longan jujube in the kitchen and boiled a pot of porridge, all of which were things that helped her sleep, and when she went back with the porridge, Du Xuanmo was already asleep.
Shen Shiliu put down the porridge in his hand, covered Du Xuanmo with the quilt, and then went to the lobby first.
Du Niangzi also came at this time, she didn't know about Du Xuanmo, Shen Shiliu saw that everyone was coming, and she couldn't hide it, so she told Du Xuanmo about it.
Du Niangzi was afraid of waking up Du Xuanmo, so she just leaned on the door and looked inside.
"My son looks easy-going on weekdays, but in fact, he is stubborn and has been holding his breath, which is really hard!" Du Niangzi's eyes were red, and she also knew in her heart that if it weren't for her mother's lack of interest, Du Xuanmo would not have lost the protection of the family since he was a child, so he had to hold on to everything.
Shen Shiliu pondered that it was not good to let Du Xuanmo hold on to her body here, and when Du Xuanmo woke up, she had to study and study.
Du Niangzi ate directly in the lobby, but Du Xuanmo never woke up.
"Let him sleep here, it's rare to get a good night's sleep!" Shen Shiliu said.
Zheng wanted to speak and stopped, although he was engaged, but he left Du Xuanmo at home for the night before he passed the door, which is a bit unreasonable!
Du Niangzi also felt that it was not good, glanced at Zheng, and finally said, "This is not good." ”
"Nothing bad, I'll go sleep in the Westinghouse tonight!" Shen Shiliu said, just do the right thing.
When Shen's father saw it, he said, "Just do it, there are still people in the family anyway." ”
Du Niangzi saw that the head of the family had spoken, so she didn't say anything anymore.
Du Xuanmo slept until dawn this night, and he usually didn't have time to sleep, but he slept well this time.
It's just that when he opened his eyes and found that he was still in Shen Pomegranate's room, he was also startled.
Shen Shimei pushed the door directly at this time, rubbing his eyes and saying, "Awake?" When you wake up, you come out to wash your face, and after eating, you can go to the yamen. ”
Du Xuanmo hurriedly got up, and Shen Pomegranate was fetching water in the courtyard, and the two of them were washing their faces in a copper basin.
"I ...... I ...... yesterday" Du Xuanmo wanted to ask why he didn't wake him up yesterday, but these words fell on Shen Shimei's ears, but it was a bit of a sense of amnesia after drinking in the TV series.
Shen Shiliu said with a smile: "There was nothing yesterday, and you slept without eating at night, but don't worry, Aunt Du came later, she already knows about your stay at night, and my father and mother didn't say anything, it's okay!" ”
Du Xuanmo wiped his sweat, if the adults of the two families knew, he would not be too rude.
"Then I'd better walk quickly, there shouldn't be many people on the street at this time." Du Xuanmo said that he always had to take care of Shen Pomegranate's reputation.
Shen Shiliu smiled: "What's the hurry, don't eat in the morning, don't faint on the avenue for a while!" Your mother will come in a while, just go out together after breakfast! ”
When Du Xuanmo heard this, he smiled: "That's very good!" "Shen Shimei is more careful than him, everything has been arranged.
Before breakfast, Shen Shiliu asked Du Xuanmo what was so bad about the Yamen, and he couldn't sleep.
"The silver taels of the imperial court have not yet arrived, but the grain collection here is about to run out, and the middle file is cut off for nearly a month, if it can't be received, the people's half a month's grain is not a small amount, and I am afraid that there will be civil unrest at that time." Du Xuanmo has been thinking about how to make money these days.
After listening to Du Xuanmo, the first word that came to Shen Shimei's mind was "national debt"!
"I have an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not!" Shen Shiliu looked at Du Xuanmo and said, it's time for them to see what real technology is!
