The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Seeing Ding Yuanji's guilty look, Shen Jingli looked at Zhou Yuzhi leisurely, tilted his head and smiled evilly: "Little ghost, are you afraid that I will complain?"

“…I know I was wrong.” With a trembling voice, Shen Jingli touched Ding Yuanji’s head, and was the first to leave Li’s house, followed by Song Zhu.

Ding Yuanji trotted over to Shen Jingli and said, "Brother...I have something to tell you."

"Yeah." Shen Jingli had expected Ding Yuanji to follow out, so he was not surprised.

"It cost a total of 26 taels of silver to get the medicine. I borrowed it. I will definitely return it in full someday. Here is the remaining silver. Keep it for yourself."

Ding Yuanji looked determined and handed the purse to Shen Jingli.

"And...thank you, you're a good person."

"I was wrong...I shouldn't have stolen your money."

Shen Jingli did not take the purse. He leaned forward slightly and looked into Ding Yuanji's eyes. "I understand your difficulties, but no matter what, stealing is not an acceptable behavior."

"A thief will be despised by everyone. If your relatives and friends know that you have stolen something, they will instinctively distrust you. If a chicken, duck, or even a needle is lost in the village in the future, they will think of you. This will become a stain on your life. Do you understand?"

Ding Yuanji buried his head even lower, tears falling one by one. Shen Jingli couldn't help feeling distressed when he saw the skinny boy in front of him who was only fourteen years old.

I patted his head and said, "Don't cry, I won't tell anyone. This is a secret between the two of us, okay?"

Shochiku: It's incredible that a man who was planning to steal from the national treasury could say such words without batting an eyelid. I couldn't help but applaud.

Ding Yuanji was filled with shame... He had stolen the brother's purse, and the brother had been giving him earnest advice. Tears welled up in his eyes.

"Don't cry...it will make your godmother suspicious."

Ding Yuanji nodded: "I won't cry anymore..." He looked at Songzhu again: "Brother... and him... he also knows."

"Yes, a secret between the three of us."

Shen Jingli took out a red plum handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to the crying Ding Yuanji. This time Ding Yuanji did not refuse and accepted it and thanked him: "Thank you...brother."

After wiping her tears, she stuffed the purse into Shen Jingli's arms. Shen Jingli took it with his hands and said, "You don't have to return the money to me. Tomorrow morning, prepare some nutritious food for the villagers, especially your godmother. You must keep up with the nutrition of three meals a day, otherwise the disease will not be cured."

Shen Jingli handed the purse back to Ding Yuanji, and his tears began to flow again.

"Don't cry." Shen Jingli picked up the handkerchief and helped Ding Yuanji wipe away his tears.

"Songzhu has already put the food on the table. Some of the cakes are a bit greasy and high in sugar. The villagers should not eat too much. It's okay for you to eat more."

"Also, you must not let everyone sleep on the floor anymore. They will catch a cold. With so many people crowded in the hall, the air is not circulating, and it is easy to get infected again. Now everyone is out of danger and can live in their own houses."

"Use the remaining money to repair the windows of the villagers' houses. Make sure they are windproof at night and ventilated during the day. The government's money won't be allocated so quickly, so you should bear with it for a while."

Songzhu was surprised that Shen Jingli would do this, because more than two hundred taels was the emperor's salary saved for two years.

When Shen Jingli learned about this, she felt a strong sense of guilt. She wanted to be fully responsible for the plague in Guihua Village.

Since you have taken the original owner's salary and are living a carefree life outside the palace, you cannot just stand by and watch the suffering of the people.

A monthly salary of ten taels is a very small amount for the imperial family, but for ordinary people, it is a huge income.

Since she accepted it, she must be responsible for the people of Dayuan.

After hearing these caring words, Ding Yuanji was a little dazed and could not believe that all this was true.

Ever since everyone was infected with the plague, all kinds of misfortunes have happened one after another. He couldn't bear it any longer and had to resort to this last resort, which was to steal.

Shen Jingli:?

Could it be that he was so excited that he couldn't even speak? Children are children, and their tolerance is a little bit poor.

How desperate must one be to be so foolish as to steal from Yunxiang Brothel...

Oops, I almost forgot about the brothel. The entrance fee cost a huge sum of ten taels of silver.

"Xiaojuzi, I have something urgent to do. I have to leave now. Please work hard these few days and take good care of everyone. The village will be back to normal soon."

Seeing Shen Jingli and Song Zhu hurriedly walking towards the path, Ding Yuanji stepped forward and shouted: "Brother, can you tell me your name? Will we meet again? Can I always call you brother?"

Shen Jingli turned around and smiled: "Of course, my name is Shen... Li. Also, ask the village chief to tell the guards that the regent sent me to treat the villagers. Now the villagers are fine, and the village can be unsealed."

"You must spread the news. When you tell the officers and soldiers about this, you must be confident and not hesitate."

It is most appropriate to pull Qin Yejue out at this time. It can not only establish the image of Qin Yejue who loves the people like his own children, but also have a deterrent effect.

In this world, who dares to offend Qin Yejue? Who dares to neglect him easily?

……

"Your Majesty, why are we still going to Yunxiangqing Tower?"

Shen Jingli hurriedly ran towards Yunxiangqinglou: "This young master has paid for it, so hurry up, otherwise you will miss the beauty."

Songzhu was speechless. Why did the emperor still refuse to change his bad habits?

When they arrived at Yunxiangqinglou, Guigong hurried forward and asked, "Young Master, did you get the money back?"

Shen Jingli said in a relaxed tone, "It's just a small amount of money, just consider it as charity."

The turtle's eyes lit up, and his face was full of disbelief: "Oh~ Young Master, you can tell at a glance that you are a man of extraordinary bearing."

"That's that."

Seeing that Shen Jingli's clothes were covered in dirt and his hair was a little messy, Gui Gong asked in doubt, "Did he fail to catch up with him? Young Master, you can report to the police, but you must not let the thief get away with it."

"Don't worry about these details. I've let it go. Why are you so serious about it? There are handsome men, but there must be beautiful women too."

Mr. Turtle: "Do you have a hundred taels of silver?"

Shen Jingli: “Yes.”

"Then take it out and show it to me."

"…I had it originally, but it was stolen, you know, right in front of your store."

The turtle man looked embarrassed and was not going to let him go: "Then you can't go in. Without 100 taels of silver, you can't afford it."

Shen Jingli had a question mark on his face: "???"

"Didn't I already give you ten taels for the ticket? You want another hundred taels? Are you... a scam shop? It's late at night and you're picking on me to extort money?" Shen Jingli became more and more excited as he spoke, alarming the people around him.

The people who heard the noise stopped and looked Shen Jingli up and down, speaking with disdain: "Sissy, why did you come to a brothel if you don't have money?"

Sissy, sissy, why do you always call yourself that! Even if she is a real man, what's wrong with being a little sissy?

Can't we respect the diversity of individuality?

Shen Jingli was furious. "Come here, my followers promise not to beat you to death..."

The old man hurried forward to persuade them to make peace. He said that they were guests and should not really fight. He still had to do business. "Gentlemen, calm down. It would be bad if you scared the courtesan."

The excitement was so great that it ended...

The old man pulled Shen Jingli aside again, looking apologetic.

"It's true that the ticket price is ten taels, but our store has a rule. If you don't have a hundred taels of silver, you can't afford it. The seat fee alone will cost a hundred taels."

"Besides, your wallet has just been stolen, so you probably have no money, right? Then you can't go in."

The seating fee is one hundred taels? ! ?

Shen Jingli looked frustrated and downhearted: "Give me back the ten taels, and I'll come back another day."

"Once tickets are sold, they are non-refundable."

"what?"

"Let's sort it out again. Did I spend ten taels to buy the ticket?"

"Yes."

"Since I've bought the ticket, can I go in?"

"Yes."

"Okay, then this young master will go in."

"Wait a minute."
