Chapter 103
Although it's normal for the leading generals to be ignorant of such things in private, there are too many of them. You know, Shen Mingchang didn't bring much with him when he returned to Beijing, but he also had thirty or forty large boxes. In addition to four or five boxes of local local instruments, there were more than ten boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy, painting, antiques and other things for Han, which were worth about seventy-eight thousand taels of silver.
Nowadays, there are not many boxes, but the contents are excellent. Among them, the most eye-catching is a pair of red coral bonsai, which are three feet high. They are bright and dazzling. There is also a pair of lotus ornaments carved with jadeite, which are transparent in color and exquisite in craftsmanship.
Fortunately, there are only a few confidants in this room, such as Feixu and Baishao. As soon as I saw these things, Baishao stepped back to the door to guard. Feixu personally went forward to open some brocade boxes inside. One of the boxes was full of various kinds of jewelry, such as coral bracelets, pearl collars and jade bracelets. It was full of four or five big boxes. Without inlaid gems, there are four full boxes, a big box of South China Sea pearls and a box of East pearl. In addition, there is a box full of exquisite head, all kinds of gold, silver, pearls and jade materials, set by set in exquisite carving boxes. The rest of the scattered pieces of jewelry beads are countless. There is also a box full of precious herbal supplements. Those big bags of top-grade blood swallows are a little insignificant against the background of several Ganoderma lucidum strains and hundred year old ginseng.
After reading the things, Han felt a little frightened, and immediately ordered Feixu to "send these things to the East Chamber in person, and make a list of all the things in it one by one. I'll go to the front yard and find Mr. Hou Feixu promised to do it in person.
Here, Shen Mingchang is chatting with Shen Ze, who has just had lunch, in his study. He hears that his wife has come back. Shen Mingchang said to Shen Ze with a smile, "your aunt must have been a little scared when she saw something. I have two boxes packed up there. You can take them away later. Don't refuse." Shen Ze had no choice but to bow his body to express his thanks. "In that case, the nephew would not be polite to his uncle."
Just as he was talking, he saw that Han came in alone. Shen Ze got up to see him and said with a smile, "I think my aunt must have some private words to say to my uncle. My nephew will not be in the way here. I'll leave first."
At this time, Han's heart is full of ups and downs, Wen Yan just pulled the corner of his mouth, "you just came back from the outside, you can have a rest after you go back." Shen Ze answered with a smile. After the ceremony, he turned and went out.
As soon as he left, Han said to her husband, "it's spring Wei after the new year. It's time for zege'er to devote himself to studying hard in the cold window. You uncle are looking for some chores to delay other people's efforts." Shen Mingchang said with a smile, "don't worry. His master says that his time is up. If he works too hard, he will lose his spirit. Madam, I'm afraid it's not about zege'er, is it
Han rushed all the boys outside the gate to the gate of the courtyard. Then he sat down and said, "I just saw those things. I think the Marquis really took the Treasury of Jinsha state and then embezzled it. If it's spread out, will it do harm to the Marquis? "
After hearing this, Shen Mingchang shook his head with a smile. "Don't worry, madam. No matter how small the Jinsha country is, it has been several hundred years since it was founded, and its sea trade has always been developed. How can there be only such an idea in the Treasury? These are just what I deserve. "
"Not counting the hundred thousand gold and silver tickets that the Marquis brought back last time, there are about one hundred thousand things alone. After nearly a hundred years of inheritance, the gold and silver in the storehouse are only worth the money. When I accept these things, I just feel that my heart is "fluttering" and my family doesn't lack these things. I'm afraid that outsiders will fall in love with the Lord because of these structures. " Han is still worried.
Shen Mingchang reached out and took her to his arms. "Otherwise, the honourable families who have always made military contributions are not short of money. Don't worry, madam. All these things have passed the Ming Road in the holy place. The holy old man knows it in his heart. Although there are so many of these things, they are just a drop in the bucket compared with the things that have been put into the private treasury of the emperor. You just keep it at ease. If you don't feel at ease, just pick a few eyelashes and put them in Tian's dowry. It's really stingy for the royal family to marry a daughter-in-law, but if you give me some clothes, you'll marry our baby. If you don't say it, you'll have to put on such things... "After hearing this, Han's family just" puffed "and laughed out," it's OK for you to talk about it at home. If it's spread out, you can't be laughed at. All along, if a girl in the family is married to the royal family, which family does not think it is the glory of the whole family? Not to mention the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine, is married to the general family, the rest of the girls in this family are also to be looked up at. At this point, the younger Ying girls are not too young, and now there are not a few people who come to ask for marriage. What's the Constitution in your heart? You should talk to me. I've been planning for a long time
Shen Mingchang said, "I can trust my wife's eyes, but now that there is a prince in the court, the rest of the princes are not fuel-efficient lamps. The families that my wife selected for her last time are very good. They have a clean family background, and the children are progressive. "
Hearing the words, Han felt that they had been ironed for a few minutes, and said, "thank you so much for your letter. It's just that I look at Ying's sister and feel dissatisfied? After all, there are also many families of princes who have come to ask for marriage recently. "
Shen Mingchang said with a sneer, "since men and women have been married, they always pay attention to" the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. "There is no reason for her to choose by herself. It can't be decided by her temperament. Now she would rather put more dowries on her to find a family with a clean family background than marry her to those with ulterior motives. I know that Ying's sister has been a little resentful in recent years, but she is my Shen's daughter after all. A common woman is nothing. If something really happens, it means that she will be removed from the family, which will eventually affect the reputation of our family. I'll have to take care of it, madam. "
Han nodded and said, "don't worry, master. I'll save it." She had planned to marry Shen Ying to a prince's mansion with a beautiful appearance. But now that Shen Mingchang has said so, she has to give her husband some face and find her a family with a clean family.
But Shen Ze was not shocked to see the gold and silver in the box when he came home with his things. At the beginning, he helped Shen Mingchang transcribe the pamphlet and knew how much he had got. Shen Ze picked out a few pieces of exquisite jewelry and clothes, and brought some earth things back from Tianjin, and sent them to the Lin family.
