"Brother, Uncle Ren was probably dragged down. I guess when you return him double the silver, he won't even want the original support." Shen Lingzhu had a good impression of him.

Shen Xianzhu nodded: "He really didn't want to accept it, but he accepted it after my second uncle persuaded him."

"How did you do it?" Shen-Bagua-Zhu came online.

Shen Chi laughed and said, “I said that since you don’t want to accept it, I have no choice but to hand this private property over to my sister-in-law.

He saw him stand up, and after struggling for only two breaths, he accepted it, but only accepted the five taels he had originally given.

"How much private money does Dad have?" Shen Lingzhu gossiped again.

"No, all my money belongs to my wife. She is the most virtuous." Shen Chi could not tell his brother-in-law about his private affairs in front of his greedy brother-in-law.

Shen Xianzhu tactfully changed the subject: "Ren Shishu is a good man, but it's a pity that he failed the imperial examinations every time."

"Why doesn't he seek an official position?" Shen Lingzhu blurted out.

Shen Chi said it all: "His family is unwilling to spend money to help him. Even if he gets an official position, he won't make any money.

He doesn’t have a family like us, so he has to support his family while preparing for the exam.”

"People say that the best candidates for Juren Jin are Silver Jinshi, so his family is not poor, right?" Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken more than ten years to take the exam, and the only gift Shen Lingzhu received was a brocade handkerchief.

Shen Xianzhu: "There are several hundred acres of land."

As expected, the wife of a scholar is a good housewife, which is also an advantage, isn’t it?

When the group went into the city to find Doctor Sun and present him with a thank you gift, this was a genuine surprise: "You've helped me get low-priced herbs a few times, and I've already repaid the favor."

"Let's put things one way and thank you very much." Shen Lingzhu had a very good impression of Doctor Sun, who was open-minded and helpful.

Doctor Sun's uncle was deeply impressed by the Shen sisters. Seeing that their uncle was still grateful to the people in his clinic after returning to an official position, he generously invited them to dinner.

Of course, the meal could not be eaten. Shen Lingzhu found out from them the family of Aunt Wang who had borrowed the car, and resolutely said goodbye and left.

After lunch at a restaurant, Shen Xianzhu and the two escorts returned. He said, "Second Uncle, we should act according to the circumstances. We should not force things when they are impossible."

"Don't worry, Second Uncle knows what's going on. Once the wine is fermented, you and Dazhuzi can ask the escort agency to deliver it.

We will go home by the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month at the latest." If nothing could be decided before the end of the year, Shen Chi did not intend to wait until the next year's opening of the court.

Shen Lingzhu said that he would definitely see a lot from time to time. Seeing this, Shen Xianzhu had to ride his horse out of the city and run faster so that he could reach Baozhou Prefecture and stay in his own food store before dark.

Shen Chi didn't want to make things too difficult for himself, so he booked an inn in the city. Then his elder brother-in-law Huang Zongqi led a small flag of ten people to rest there, while he took his daughter and two other bodyguards to find Aunt Wang.

Fortunately, the village was only ten miles away from the county town, and the father and daughter found it quickly. They sent the things one by one to Aunt Wang, which led the villagers to say that good people will be rewarded.

Aunt Wang tried to refuse several times but failed, and her children and grandchildren were extremely happy. They were given dozens of kilograms of white rice, meat, sausages and sugar, which made them extremely happy.

"Little girl, I just did a little favor, how dare I accept such a generous gift."

"Auntie, it's just some food, nothing." The gifts from the families were different, and Shen Lingzhu didn't think it was much. But she spoke differently from the other villagers, so she added, "Auntie, it seems you've been educated."

"My father was a scholar, but none of his descendants are promising.

In my early years, I was so poor that my brother and I were separated. Now I have a family of children, which is great.” Aunt Wang did not force anything.

Shen Chi praised: "Your family is harmonious and happy, and you will enjoy a long life."

"No, no, no, it's enough to be able to do the job. Being too old is annoying." After that, Aunt Wang continued, "Just now, the little girl said that she was going to Beijing in a hurry. I wonder if she could give my eldest grandson a ride so that he can go visit one of my brothers on her behalf.

I received a letter from him a few days ago, saying he was sick and missed his family. I was angry with him at the time and ignored him, but now I think about it and feel reluctant to leave him.

"Dad?" Shen Lingzhu had to respect Master Chi.

Shen Chi said, "Of course he can, but we won't be back until the end of the year, so he'll have to figure it out on his own when he comes back."

"No, no, he will stay in Beijing to be filial to my brother and come back next year." Aunt Wang was very grateful.

So when Shen Lingzhu and his daughter returned to the county town, they brought one more person with them, which aroused their uncle's curiosity.

Aunt Wang’s grandson was a simple and honest man. When they set off early the next morning, he rushed to help drive the carriage.

Shen Lingzhu felt that there were many kind-hearted people in the world. When she brought her motorcade to the dilapidated temple where she once lived, Mr. Chi hugged her with heartache and said that his daughter had suffered a lot.

His uncle Huang Zongqi couldn't bear to see this and slapped him, saying, "If you hadn't suddenly gone south, they wouldn't have suffered so much."

"Brother..." If you can pick up the person, my daughter, brother and sister-in-law will not suffer much.

Of course, he could only think about this in his mind.

When they arrived at Uncle Niu's place, the old man almost didn't recognize Shen Lingzhu. The little girl had indeed grown taller and fatter.

After expressing their gratitude, the hosts and guests were very satisfied. Shen Lingzhu arranged for Uncle Niu to come to Shun County in March next year to guide them in taking care of the peach trees, and the old man readily agreed.

When we were on our way again, my uncle said, "Why did you ask this old man for help when you bought the peach saplings from my uncle's house?"

Shen Lingzhu said seriously, "Grafting is a combination of the best of many methods. I originally wanted to buy seedlings from him, but then grandma said we didn't have to go too far.

But the flavors of the peaches from the two families are different, so my second sister wants to cultivate more."

Huang Zongqi shook his head: "It's troublesome, I feel that it's not as fast as your greenhouse planting.

Oh, by the way, why did I hear that your third uncle also wanted to tinker with a greenhouse?

Shen Er, is this true?"

Shen Chi rode back on his horse and said, "Yes, I have. I can't stop him." Dazhuzi stayed at home because he had a plan with his second uncle to convert part of the family's land into a greenhouse.

He said he wanted to lead the tribe to make money together."

...The following will be revised tomorrow

"Where are they? ...Here! Shen Huai, I order you to leave Beijing and return to your hometown before sunset. Don't waste our brothers' time."

Quick footsteps accompanied by a cold voice were heard in the yard, followed by something falling to the ground with a thud.

The constant sound of voices and footsteps in the yard woke up Shen Lingzhu, who was dozing on the bed. She glanced at her aunt who was sleeping restlessly on the bed, and quietly moved the stool to the window.

Then, when he knelt down on the stool and leaned over to the window, the pheasant feathers on the official's hat first caught his eye.

Seeing them kicking over benches and pestles, deliberately slapping the scabbards and glaring at the frightened little medicine boys, and one of them about to poke someone's eyes with the handle of the knife, she felt a flame in her heart.

The uncle stood in front of the clinic's manager, Mr. Hu, and the young pharmacists, and tried to be polite with them.

When they seemed to accidentally knock down some herbs, he silently pulled out the purse from his waist and asked the officials to go into the hall.

Manager Hu quickly led the medicine boys out through another alley.

After everyone had left, Shen Lingzhu stuck her head out of the window to see if her senior sister who was decocting medicine was still there. Seeing no one in sight, she couldn't help but frown.
