Chapter 193 It’s Not Easy to Be the Richest Man in Ming Dynasty 5
Shen Fu burst into tears: "If my Shen family places its hopes on women's connections, then there is really no hope!
You have no ambition to make progress. The wealth and prosperity of these years have made you forget who you are! You eat delicious food every day and wear silk and satin every day.
You've forgotten that the Shen family was once a farming family! Your great-grandfather used to get up at five in the morning and work late into the night just to have a full meal! Now that you have a family tree and respectability, do you know that we used to name our children whatever we wanted?
You don't make progress yourself, but you want to give your daughter to others as a plaything! Shen Wang, you are really a piece of shit!
Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down! Without my order, I don't think anyone would dare to bring you a bite of food!
Someone, please teach me the family rules! I'm going to teach this good-for-nothing a lesson today!
From now on, if there are such people among my Shen clan, they will be expelled from the clan and left to fend for themselves!"
Shen Fu took a thin bamboo stick and beat Shen Wang, making Shen Wang, a grown man, burst into tears. He beat him more than a hundred times, leaving purple marks on Shen Wang's back, buttocks and thighs.
It soon became very swollen. The servants helped the bruised Shen Wang back to his room. Shen Wang gasped in pain. Now his body was so bruised that it hurt wherever he touched it.
Shen Wang's wife, Chen, was so frightened that she had forgotten about binding her daughter's feet. She came to Shen Wang with the medicine in her hand and applied it to his wound.
Shen Wang was in great pain. Seeing the culprit dangling right under his nose, he slapped her in the face: "You unscrupulous vicious woman, you forced me to do this yesterday and I said no.
Dad would definitely be mad if he knew. You said your parents' orders are above everything else, but you're really not going to stop now, and you're starting to make trouble today! Are you going to kill me before you're satisfied?
Chen was no pushover either. She threw away the medicine in anger and started fighting with Shen Wang: "You damn bastard, you filthy bastard! How have I ever let you down by marrying you, bearing children, and managing the harem over the years?
Over the years, you've been pooping all the dirty, smelly things into the room. Have I ever told you anything? Dad's right! You're just a mean person! When I told you yesterday, you were being ambiguous and pretending to be a good person.
You want to put all the blame on me for what happened today? Shen Wang, you bastard, you coward, you want to be a whore and you want to be a chastity ...
You bastard who dares to do things but not take responsibility, why didn’t your father beat you to death! Bah, just stay here and suffer! "
Shen Wang was stunned. The ancestral hall was empty, with only a pile of tablets. Shen Wang was in great pain and was hungry.
But he didn't dare to move a step without his father's order. Chen's tiger bitch was really cruel! Ouch, she's scratched until she's bleeding.
Shen Yujin held Sister Zhen in his arms and asked a maid to boil a pot of bath water. He asked the maid to give the child a bath and change her into clean clothes.
After Shen Yuzhen washed and changed her clothes, she was carried out of the bathroom by the maid. Shen Yujin took the towel from the maid and gently dried the little girl's hair.
After combing the child's hair with a wooden comb, Shen Yujin skillfully braided the child's hair into two small braids and tied a pair of braids for the child with a water-blue ribbon.
Then, like a magic trick, she took out a pair of pastel-colored balls of fur, decorated with small silver bells.
The five-year-old girl knew how to be conceited. She hugged Shen Yujin and refused to let go: "Big brother, this flower on your hair is so beautiful. It doesn't hurt for you to comb my hair."
Shen Yujin tapped the little girl's nose and said, "You've already learned to be conceited at such a young age. You must be hungry. There are snacks in the box. Eat a few to fill your stomach. We still have food to eat today!"
The little girl skipped to her big brother's desk, opened the wicker box with ease, and took out a bag of cloud cakes.
Shen Yujin poured a bowl of hot milk from the teapot on the charcoal stove and handed it to the little girl. The child was frightened and scared early in the morning and was already hungry.
The little girl was seen eating the cloud cake in big mouthfuls and drinking the hot milk with slurps. After finishing the snacks, Shen Yujin gave the little girl half a packet of Dingjingsan, for fear that the child would get a fever after being frightened.
After the little girl had eaten and drunk her fill and played for about a quarter of an hour, her little head dozed off like a chick pecking at rice.
Shen Yujin held the little girl, put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt. The little girl closed her eyes and went to play chess with Zhou Gong.
Shen Yujin also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to sort out the gold, silver and treasures he had recently collected. It was not a good thing to keep them piled up in the space in such a mess!
There are all kinds of things that need to be sorted out. Shen Yujin also wants to see how much money the Shen family has, which can make Zhu Yuanzhang unable to sleep at night!
Shen Yujin was speechless when he saw the mountains of gold, silver and treasures in the space. The Shen family is indeed richer than the Ming Dynasty’s treasury now.
Zhu Yuanzhang is living a miserable life now, and he has to calculate even when eating a plate of tofu.
Shen Fu, who came from a poor family, used most of his earnings to buy land and shops, but in these few secret vaults, there were actually 50 million taels of silver and 10 million taels of gold. This was the early Ming Dynasty, and there was no way the national treasury could have so much money.
Zhu Yuanzhang's treasury was so empty that even a mouse could escape. No wonder he was so obsessed with the Shen family's money.
Not to mention the various jewels, silks, and satins inside. There were so many that it was impossible to count them. They had to be packed in boxes. The rings alone filled several boxes. Shen Fu was like a wealthy rural landlord.
He stored everything at home. Even the green glutinous rice and rouge rice, which his class could not eat, were stored in the warehouse in quantities of several thousand kilograms.
There were so many delicacies that they had to be packed in sacks. Shen Yujin collected all the eye-catching ingredients in the warehouse in the mansion.
You eat better than the emperor, you want to fly!
Shen Yujin felt that it was definitely the blessing of his ancestors that allowed him to escape.
If Zhu Yuanzhang saw so much money and things, the Shen family would be doomed, and exile would be impossible!
Shen Yujin put these things away in different categories, and saw a large pile of tanned leather on the ground. Wow, the Shen family only has so many masters, so they can wear them for three lifetimes.
Shen Yujin asked the maid to take good care of Shen Yuzhen, and he went to his grandfather Shen Fu's residence with his hands behind his back.
Now the old man is annoyed when he sees the concubine, and the master is in a bad mood and has no time to care about you. So Shen Fu lives in the three main rooms by himself.
When Shen Yujin arrived, the old man was rubbing walnuts with his hands. Shen Yujin closed the door and took out a bowl of cordyceps and duck soup made by the chef, a pot of rouge rice, and a bowl of pig's trotter stew.
The old man has been eating vegetables every day these past few days, and his face is almost green. He is over 50 years old, so he should not suffer any more.
Shen Rong was a man with a lot of ideas. When he saw his son coming to the old man with his hands behind his back, he knew there was something delicious to eat and he could eat with him.
He came over right after and the two of them wolfed down the food.
Shen Fu drank the tea brought by his grandson and said, "This is the life people should live!"
