Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 53 Fuxi Tang conspired to provide disaster relief

At night, the Shen family had dinner in the dining room. No one spoke, they either sighed or frowned, and they dispersed after taking a few bites.

Shen Qinglan just breathed a sigh of relief, and then his uncle asked him to go to Fuxi Hall in the east courtyard to discuss matters in two quarters of an hour.

Fuxi Hall is the residence of my eldest uncle and eldest aunt. They have a very good relationship and never live apart. They have been together for more than 20 years since they were married.

Shen Qinglan went back to rest for a while, and then went to the east courtyard. The uncle of the east courtyard even sent a sedan to pick him up.

When they arrived at the main room of Fuxi Hall, they saw their eldest uncle, father, eldest brother and two older brothers. Shen Qinglan wanted to greet them one by one, but her eldest uncle spoke and asked her to sit down directly.

"Sisi, do you know why Master Zhizhou suddenly sent a request for disaster relief?" Father was the first to ask.

Shen Qinglan shook his head, "Grandma said that it was because someone was worried about the financial resources of our Shen family, so we asked the Holy Emperor for a decree."

The second brother Shen Qingshi said: "Father, uncle, when Master Zhizhou came today, he only brought Master Liu with him. Master Meng came in a hurry after learning about Zhizhou's personal visit. After Master Zhizhou announced the decree, I see Mr. Meng’s expression is not very good either, it seems that he is unaware of this matter.”

The eldest brother Shen Qingyan only knows business and does not know much about officialdom. After hearing what his younger brother said, he asked again: "Why is Mr. Meng unhappy?"

Shen Qingshi thought for a while and said: "Mr. Meng was originally an official to worship the governor of the state. Now the new magistrate has taken over. Although Mr. Meng is respected as a prefect by the people and officials, he no longer has any actual duties. Now he is only waiting for a new position. These few The county flood issue was originally handled by Mr. Meng, but now it should have been taken over by the new magistrate, but now it has been handed over to our Shen family. This is undoubtedly a disgrace to Mr. Meng."

Uncle Shen Zhang frowned slightly, "Ashi, in your opinion, what happened this time..."

"My son estimates that 80% of it was done by Mr. Meng's enemies in the officialdom." Shen Qingshi said.

When Shen Qinglan heard this, he quickly responded, "Second brother is right."

In short, don't doubt that it's all over her head, she is innocent!

"Sisi, what do you think should be done about this matter?" Shen Qingshi turned to look at Shen Qinglan.

"How could she, a daughter of a family, know about such a thing? Ah Shi and Ah Yan, you two brothers need more help. It is a great achievement for our Shen family to get through this. If we don't do it well, I'm afraid His Majesty will Blame it." Shen Yan said.

"Uncle, don't worry. Sisi has responded fluently today. Your Majesty has appointed her to come to this matter. We still need to listen to her opinion." Shen Qingshi said.

Shen Qinglan took a breath and said: "Uncle, father, eldest brother and second brother, I have already told Mr. Zhizhou about this matter. This matter is easy to say and difficult to say."

"How do you say that?" Shen Zhang asked.

"We, the Shen family, are not officials. Although we are ordered to do so, we do not need to be at the forefront of everything. I think the official family just wants our Shen family to provide more money. I only need to find out the specific situation of the current disaster and then make a plan. A list, the elder brother and the uncle just need to put these things together, and then we will make a handover in front of the county officials, and even if there are any problems with the rest, it has nothing to do with us," Shen Qinglan analyzed. road.

"Sisi is right. There is another very important point. We cannot use our own things to provide disaster relief. The food needed for disaster relief needs to be purchased now, and all purchase receipts need to be kept. Also, The goods must be inspected on the spot, otherwise we won’t be able to tell if there is a problem,” Shen Qingshi added.

"What about the sacrifice?" Shen Qingyan asked again.

Shen Qingshi looked at Shen Yan and said, "Let my uncle and I do the sacrificial work. I will personally supervise the craftsmen to build the altar. My uncle will invite some Taoists, and then Sisi will go and kneel down to worship in person for a few days." Can."

"Well, this is very good, everyone can't slack off. I will go with A Yan to buy the necessary things." Shen Zhang said.

"Disaster relief is a good thing. As long as we are more careful, there will be no problem." Shen Qingshi said.

"Well, Sisi will go to several disaster-stricken counties tomorrow morning. Let's leave early and Sisi go back and have a good rest." Shen Zhang said.

"Thank you uncle."

After everyone dispersed, Shen Qinglan thought of returning to Wenlan Courtyard quickly to pack her things. Not long after she left Fuxi Hall, Shen Qingshi chased her out.

"Sisi!"

Shen Qinglan turned around, "Second brother, is there anything else?"

"You come with me to Moshi Hall."

"good."

In the Moshi Hall, Shen Qingshi stepped back and asked: "Sisi, second brother wants to know what is going on."

"Second brother, haven't you analyzed everything? Sisi thinks it makes sense."

Shen Qinglan was a little panicked. Her second brother was smarter and more alert than ordinary people.

"You can deceive others, but you can't deceive your second brother." Shen Qingshi said seriously.

"Ah? Second brother is stupid because of studying..."

Shen Qinglan picked up a cup of tea and thought about what to say to fool her, but Shen Qingshi's next words interrupted her thoughts.

"Don't even think about lying anymore. My brother helped you cover up today and pushed this matter out. His Majesty appointed our Shen family to provide disaster relief. We usually have no good relations with people in the officialdom. How could this disaster relief matter happen?" On us? Even if someone wants to deal with Governor Meng, he will not choose a stranger. Tell your brother, do you have any deals with people in the officialdom?" Shen Qingshi asked.

Shen Qinglan raised her eyes and glanced at him. She didn't expect that the second brother, who was usually the gentlest, also had such a stern side.

"Actually... I met the young prince of Prince Heng's Mansion. He asked me to go to Jing'an Academy to help him find something, and then promised me to help our Shen family..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Qingshi said sternly: "Nonsense!"

"Second brother, I am doing it for our family..." Shen Qinglan felt aggrieved.

Shen Qingshi sighed, "Second brother has worked hard for so many years just to protect our family from being feared by others. You are a daughter's family, why would you do such a thing? Then who is Zhao Shun? You Do you want to cooperate with him and be his eagle dog?"

Shen Qinglan's eyes turned red. She knew that in the previous life, Shen Qingshi studied hard every day and fell ill. In the end, he was persecuted and did not get the honors he hoped for.

Those dog officials have long been concerned about the Shen family's vast wealth and will not give them a chance, let alone let Shen Qingshi go to high school.

"Second brother is working too hard. Sisi can't bear to let you bear everything alone. Although Sisi is a woman, she still wants to share the family's worries... If second brother blames me, then I will never cooperate with the young prince again. …”

As she spoke, her tears fell down, and Shen Qingshi felt heartbroken when he saw this.
