"So you ran away from home?" Shen Jingli put the checked account books aside and looked at Muke, who was sitting on the Luohan bed, knocking melon seeds and complaining at the same time. Wouldn't it be better for the county Lord not to let him marry, but let him recruit a son-in-law or a wife? Why are you still angry?

"Yes." Mu Ke nodded, "my mother is really too much. She actually let me recruit a son-in-law. What is the future of a man who can become a burden on other people? She's trying to ruin my life. "

Muke became angry and clucked the melon seeds on the table as if they were enemies.

Shen Jingli couldn't laugh or cry when he saw him like this. In fact, he was very surprised when he heard that the county Lord asked Muke to recruit a son-in-law. He had been in the Dayan Dynasty for so many years. He had a complete understanding of the history, national conditions and customs of the dynasty. People in this dynasty looked down on the matter of being a burden, especially a family with a son, would never let his son or girl become a burden And the man will not be willing to enter the family. He thinks that it is a matter of losing male self-respect and family dignity. Some people even think that the family fortune will be affected by taking over the family. If there is no man in the family to inherit the family, he would rather have a child adopted by the side of the family than by the girl of the family.

So Muke said that the county Lord let him take over. Shen Jingli would be so surprised. However, considering Mu Yu's situation, he seemed to understand the head of the county.

"You can marry a girl if you don't want to be a burden."

Shen Jingli sincerely suggested, "or do you already have someone you like?"

"Cough, cough..." Muke seemed to be frightened by his words, and got stuck in his throat by the shell of melon seeds, and coughed so that tears came out.

Are you trying to murder me?

After receiving the message from Mu Ke's eyes, Shen Jingli smiles. It seems that he has some signs.

"Can't I be right?" Look at that Blusher. It's going to burn.

"No Too fast to deny.

Muke turned his head unnaturally and looked out of the window with his eyes wandering. He said, "xun'er and Huaixin are playing outside. I'll go and see them."

With that, he ran out in a hurry, as if a cluster of flames were burning after him.

"Poo Hoo..." Shen Jingli could not help laughing.

I didn't expect that the domineering boy of Muke was so innocent. It was really interesting.

"Madame, what are you laughing at?" Jin Yu comes in from outside and sees Shen Jingli smiling alone. She asks curiously.

"Do you have any?" It's so obvious that Shen Jingli reaches out and touches his face. Really, the corners of his mouth are cracked to his ears.

No? Jinyu looked at him more curiously. With such a clear smile, she could not look away. Was it a letter sent by the master with interesting contents?

"The lady laughs so happily. She has made a lot of money." Jinyu joked deliberately that she had never seen such a silver loving master.

"It's made a lot of money." Shen Jingli nodded. Zhou Hao's business mind was as good as opening the door. He had a good eye for people. He had a lot of capable people in charge. The trend of business development was envious of his family. He put pressure on his husband and wife to hand over the business to his family. He had already separated his family. Fortunately, he wanted people to give his business to his own family Face?

Shen Jingli raised his head and said, "I made money. Are you not happy?"

"Yes, of course." Jinyu quickly replied, how can you be unhappy? Madame, however, allowed them to take shares in the business they were interested in. Although the investment was not much, the annual dividend was dozens of times of the monthly money saved in the year. With this money, she would not be so miserable when she got married. Thinking of this, she would laugh in her dreams at night.

Shen Jingli looked at her fawning smile and thought to herself that the big change of face was really fast.

Thinking of her fuller purse, Jinyu was in a better mood. She picked up Muke's melon seed shell and hummed happily.

Looking at her dancing pace, Shen Jingli suddenly thought of a thing, Jinyu, as if she was nearly thirty. How could she not get married?

"Jinyu, have you approved someone?" He didn't seem to be a qualified matron. He didn't realize that people's marriage also needed to be promised and arranged.

"Yes, but he went to Xiangzhou with the third master. When the third master is transferred back to the capital next year, we will get married." Jinyu replied, "by the way, it's Shi Yi, the nephew of the stone housekeeper in Ximu mansion. The master said that he was a good boy, so he and the third master became Xiangzhou."

He really didn't know that. Shen Jingli thought about these years carefully. He should not have delayed many eight marriages?

He reached for his forehead, revealing an ugly smile with skin smile and flesh smile. Hearing two strange laughter, Jinyu turned to look at him, but was startled by the smile on his face. "Madam, what's the matter with you?"

"It's OK." Shen Jingli pulled out a fake smile and said, "by the way, is it time for someone?"

"Not yet." Jin Yu shook her head. "He's the only child in their family, so my parents want him to marry a daughter-in-law or a son-in-law. They've been seeing each other all these years. I want to tell you again when we've seen each other, but we haven't seen any good ones.""I see." Shen Jingli nodded.

"Ma'am, the master has returned by mail." Daji ran in from outside with a letter in his hand.

Shen Jingli quickly put down his account book and ran to snatch the letter down. With his eager appearance, Jinyu and Daji couldn't help laughing. They made a gesture to each other and quietly walked out.

Shen Jingli didn't notice what they were doing. He couldn't wait to open the envelope, take out the letter, and sit on the desk chair to look at it.

This letter is much thicker than the previous one. It has seven pages. In addition to expressing my miss for mugan, I also mentioned the help of the several carts he had sent to them, as well as his recent war situation. If it is not enough, we should choose the right one and not disclose any bad news.

Shen Jingli read the seven page letter back and forth three times. Then he smoothed out the letters one by one and put them into the box on the dresser. The box contained all the letters that Mu Chen sent back every time he went out.

"Am, am, is Dad back?" Xun'er rushes in from the outside and pours on Shen Jingli. He knocks over the box on the dressing table. The letters just put out are scattered everywhere.

Shen Jingli tightened his eyebrows. Xun'er knew that he was in trouble. With his hands on his back, he took a step back carefully and called out timidly, "am."

Shen Jingli stretched out his hand and pressed his head. "Dad hasn't come back yet. Now, help Eminem pick up these letters first. Don't stain them or break them."

Xun'er nodded obediently, squatted down and helped Shen Jingli pick up the letters one by one.

"Am, when will dad come back? The big ash and the workers have grown up again. In a few days, they will be able to fly me out. Why doesn't dad come back? "

After picking up all the letters, xun'er stood behind Shen Jingli and asked carefully.

Children don't understand the meaning of war. They only know that their father has been away from home for several months and has not come back. He looks forward to his father's coming back to play with him. However, he can't hope to come back. Suddenly, he is not happy and has a kind of worry that does not belong to his age.

Without Shen Jingli's reply, he added, "Dad hasn't come back for several days, longer than the last time. I miss him so much. If he doesn't come back, I'll grow taller than him."

"How tall have you grown?" Shen Jingli looks back and smiles at him.

"A lot higher." Xun'er stood on tiptoe and compared with his hands twice, "I will soon be taller than you."

"Yes, yes, when you grow taller than me, dad will come back." Xun'er was not happy with his mouth and head drooping, and Eminem coaxed him as a child.

Shen Jingli looked at him like this, reached out and touched his cheek. "Bear with it, dad will come back soon. Dad loves you the most and won't let you wait too long."

Yes, he certainly won't let them wait too long. Shen Jingli stretched out his hand to hold the warm jade hanging on his chest. Mu Chen gave it to him. It was warm, like the sun. The man promised that he would come back soon. He would come back soon. They just had to wait at home.

Xun'er raised his head. He didn't know why Eminem laughed? The smile seems to hide the sun, but this smile has been hidden in his heart for many years. Even if he can't remember what happened today, every time he encounters distress, the smile will flash in his mind, encouraging him to overcome many difficulties.

In the evening, Zhao Wenrui came to visit, his face was very sad.

"What happened?" Shen Jingli brought him a plate of snacks and sat opposite him.

"It's not going well to raise military pay. I'm worried about my father." Zhao Wenrui's father is general Zhao, who was sent to fight against general Zheng. Zhao's family has been a military general for generations. General Zhao and his eldest son go out to battle together. Zhao Wenrui and his mother, brother and sister-in-law are very worried. They are naturally more worried when they hear that the military pay is not raised smoothly and they may not be able to replenish food for the front line.

"Didn't the emperor send reinforcements? Didn't you send food? "

Is the Treasury so empty? The imperial court is so poor.

It seems to have seen through Shen Jingli's ideas. Zhao Wenrui explained: "our country has fought several wars with Daqi in recent years, and then we have encountered natural disasters everywhere. The emperor shows sympathy for the people, and the tax revenue has been reduced by half. The National Treasury has not been rich. Therefore, as soon as the war starts this year, the country is short of food and grass."

"In that case, why not raise money from rich businessmen?" The richest people in the country are businessmen. If the country wants money, it is necessary to cooperate with businessmen.

"Fundraising?" Zhao Wenrui shook his head and laughed at Shen Jingli for being too naive. "It's easy to say, but it's not so easy to implement. After all, businessmen won't take out their hard-earned money for no reason."

"It's impossible to pay for nothing, but businessmen can be called together to raise money. The imperial court can give them honor, the emperor's inscribed plaque, and allowing their children to take scientific examinations. At the end of the day, businessmen have been working hard to change their status. As long as they give some practical benefits, they should be willing to pay."

Shen Jingli recalled the current situation of this dynasty, and made a serious nonsense.In fact, he didn't know whether it would work or not. After all, he didn't know how to understand people's hearts.

Zhao Wenrui listened, but felt reasonable. He reached out and patted Shen Jingli on the shoulder. "This is a good proposal. I'll go back and tell my second brother. If it's really useful, I'll thank you very much in the future."
