Chapter 551 Xiao Ying returns to the capital, Zhou Lihua recognizes Chen Ning
Xiao Ying glanced at the three of them and asked curiously.
"You all think I want this wealth just to make myself rich?"
"Isn't it?" Now it was Xia Yu's turn to be confused.
Xiao Ying laughed and said, "What's the point of having so much wealth? It can neither make me stronger nor increase my understanding of the Dao."
“If it’s just stored in a warehouse, what difference is there between it and dirt?”
Yu Qianli seemed to understand something in an instant, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
"Could it be that you are doing this for the people?"
Looking back on everything Xiao Ying had done in the past, they were all beneficial to the country and the people.
It is indeed not like her style to plunder so much wealth this time.
Xiao Ying nodded approvingly: "After I establish my foundation, I plan to distribute all this wealth to the people. I hope that there will be no more poverty, hunger, disease, or war in the world."
The three of them were stunned, their eyes full of surprise. They didn't expect that this was what she was thinking.
No more poverty, hunger, disease and war in the world?
Can such a beautiful hope really be achieved?
Wait, with Xiao Ying here, maybe we can really achieve it.
The high-yield crops she promotes can solve the problem of hunger.
The spiritual spring water and pills she sells can cure illnesses.
After she builds her foundation, she will be able to unify the four countries, and there will naturally be no war.
She plundered so much wealth and distributed it to the people, so poverty naturally disappeared.
The more the three of them thought about it, the more shocked, unbelievable, and ashamed they became.
While they were thinking about how to make themselves more powerful and how to have more, Xiao Ying was thinking about how to make all the people in the world live a good life.
The three of them were instantly in awe, and Xia Yu's eyes turned red, she was so moved that she couldn't express it in words.
"As expected of a powerful being who has cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage."
Yu Qianli admired silently in her heart.
Is it because Xiao Ying has such a state of mind that he can reach this level?
"The master is indeed the best and most powerful person in the world."
Ling Yun also clenched his fist silently. He still had a lot to learn from his master.
"Master, you must be the one sent by God to save us."
Xia Yu looked determined and was extremely glad that he had made the right choice.
If there can only be one foundation-building cultivator in the world, he must be the master.
Xiao Ying smiled and said, "I'm not as great as you think. Even if I distribute these properties to the people, it's only on the premise that I already have enough wealth."
"Besides, it's just ordinary money. As for the resources for cultivation, I won't be so generous as to give them away for free."
Xia Yu disagreed and retorted, "Even so, it's still far better than what everyone else in the world has. Otherwise, why don't those noble families share it with the people? Instead, they just grab it."
Xiao Ying looked at her strangely: "Aren't you also the young master of a noble family?"
Xia Yu's cheeks turned slightly red. It was because she was the young master of the Xia family that she was more aware of the greed of the aristocratic families.
"Okay, it's time for us to go back to the capital."
Xiao Ying didn't talk about this issue anymore. To be honest, she hadn't seen Xingyun and the others for a long time and missed them quite a bit.
…
As the New Year approaches, the capital city of Shangjing, thousands of miles away, becomes more and more lively.
Although Xiao Ying was not at home, Chen Xingyun and others knew that she would definitely come back for the New Year, so the Chen family still bought a lot of New Year's goods.
That day, Zhou Lihua and her two daughters went out shopping again to see if there was anything they needed to buy.
Now that they have money, they are not as stingy as they used to be.
After several months of adaptation, the three of them have lost their rustic air and become more like noble ladies and daughters.
Zhou Lihua was dressed very beautifully, and because of her practice, her face looked several years younger.
It’s just that there are too many decorations on her bun, and the words “I am rich” are written all over her body.
Chen Qinghe seemed much more normal. She saw that the rich ladies did not wear their hair full of jewels and only wore the most suitable ones, so she also learned from them.
Her appearance was not top-notch, but she was still beautiful in this outfit, and attracted a lot of attention along the way.
Compared with the other two, Chen Qinglian can only be described as plain and simple.
One reason is that he is young, he is only nine years old after the Chinese New Year.
Secondly, I really don’t like jewelry and prefer the scholarly air of a female teacher.
The three of them also brought a maid each, all of whom were smart and sensible. After walking around, each of them was carrying a lot of things.
"Mom, look, there's a new silver shop here."
Chen Qinghe saw a shop not far away and couldn't help but exclaim with joy.
"It's true." Zhou Lihua's eyes suddenly lit up, and her heart began to itch. "Let's go in and take a look."
Chen Qinglian whispered, "Mom, we've already bought a lot of things today and spent dozens of taels of silver. Let's not buy any more."
Although I'm not short of money now, I can't spend it like this.
The whole family worked for Second Aunt, who never treated them unfairly, so they had no shortage of jewelry.
Zhou Lihua felt a little guilty, but quickly said, "I just went in to take a look. I didn't say I had to buy anything."
Chen Qinglian was speechless. Only her mother believed this.
But Zhou Lihua and Chen Qinghe both insisted on going in, so she had no choice but to follow them.
This jewelry store is indeed quite impressive, with three floors to its credit. The higher you go, the better and more expensive the items are.
However, the mother and her two daughters were quite knowledgeable and were not surprised. In the eyes of the shop owner, they became fat sheep.
The three of them went up one floor at a time, and finally they saw a set of ruby headpieces on the third floor.
The asking price was exactly eight hundred taels!
"Mom, let's go."
Chen Qinglian was really afraid that her mother would buy it on impulse, as it cost eight hundred taels.
If my family really found out about this, there would be a huge uproar.
Zhou Lihua was hesitant. This headdress was so beautiful that it made her heart beat faster.
But the price was too high. If she dared to buy it, Chen Tong would divorce her.
"I want this headgear."
At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from the side.
Zhou Lihua was startled and turned around to meet the woman's contemptuous gaze.
"If you can't afford it, get out of the way and don't delay the store's business."
Being ridiculed like this, Zhou Lihua immediately became angry.
“Who says I can’t afford it?”
The woman sneered, "Then buy it."
Then he looked at the shopkeeper and said, "No matter how much she offers, I will give her one or two more. I want this set of headgear."
Zhou Lihua was so angry that she was fuming. This woman seemed to have some status, but so what?
Her second sister-in-law is the imperial teacher, so she doesn't believe that this woman can be more powerful than her second sister-in-law.
"Madam, why are you doing this? Didn't you just buy a set before you came back?"
Just as she was thinking about how to fight back, she saw a man pulling the woman with a gloomy look on his face.
The woman was immediately dissatisfied: "How can Lingzhou's things compare to those in the capital? I just want to buy a set of headgear for the New Year, and you don't even want to do that?"
Zhou Lihua sneered, it turned out that this woman was just trying to be rich.
However, when she saw the man's face clearly, she was stunned.
This person looks so familiar, I feel like I've seen him somewhere.
Wait, why does she look so much like her second brother Chen Enke who passed away many years ago?
