Chapter 110 The Heroine with Her Own Halo
Qin Yunshuang sighed, "Don't make a fuss, you're just a baby, just drink your porridge."
Shen Fangcheng wanted to sigh like Qin Yunshuang, but suddenly his eyes lit up, "Sister, I remember the last time you were here, I memorized very quickly, and I haven't forgotten the content until now."
Shen Ruyi chuckled, "That's right."
She is a heroine with her own halo, so these are just a piece of cake for her.
"But you are so young, and I can't take you to school." Shen Fangcheng thought about it and was in trouble again.
"Find someone." Shen Ruyi said confidently, "There is a senior monk in Yinling Temple in Nanhang who can repair this jade pendant."
She is the one who knows all the plots.
This eminent monk named Xu was the master of the person who helped Shen Fangcheng make this jade pendant.
Whether it's magic power or something else, it's more advanced than the previous person who made this jade pendant.
The person who made the jade pendant had been traveling around and had no news of him, but Monk Xu from Yinling Temple had been staying in the temple for many years, enjoying incense offerings and helping the common people, so he could still be found.
"Ruyi, how did you know that?" Qin Yunshuang looked surprised.
But she then thought of a dream she had had before. In the dream, her precious daughter knew everything from ancient times to the present, and could predict everything. That was why she was worshipped as a deity and was loved by everyone.
"Alas, if it was in the past, if there was some spare change at home, it wouldn't be difficult to ask someone to go to Nanhang to hire someone, but the situation is different now."
The family's assets had already been used up, and after Shen Bailin had gambled away money and was cheated by the people in the casino, how could he have any money left?
"Recently, several servants in the house have been sold out, leaving only a few who serve closely and do rough work." Qin Yunshuang shook her head repeatedly.
When she was the daughter of the Qin family, she had never suffered such injustice.
After hearing this, Shen Ruyi sighed secretly.
It's strange, the current situation is completely different from the original text.
It is obvious that now is the time for the second branch of the Shen family to prosper and the first branch of the Shen family to fall into decline.
She thought carefully about the plot, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Mother, sell the carriage and horses."
"Ah?" Qin Hanyan was stunned.
If you sell your carriage and horses, you will have to walk or rent a sedan when you go out. How embarrassing it is.
Besides, even if she wanted to sell it, Mrs. Shen, who was used to a leisurely life, would not agree.
“No way.”
"Mom, there's nothing else to sell." Shen Ruyi's face was serious, "This is the only chance."
"If we buy the barren hills in the western suburbs, our family will be able to turn things around."
Qin Hanyan and Shen Fangcheng were both shocked to hear such a young child like Shen Ruyi speak so clearly and coherently.
But he stopped thinking about it immediately. Having such a smart child at home was their blessing and also the last chance to save the family.
By the time Shen Bailin returned home, it was already evening.
Seeing Shen Bailin reeking of alcohol, Qin Hanyan approached him cautiously and told him that she wanted to sell her carriage and horses to supplement the family income.
As expected, Shen Bailin was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "What do you mean? How can I travel on weekdays after I sell it?"
"Are you trying to disgrace me?"
Seeing him about to go crazy after drinking, Qin Hanyan couldn't stop crying, "Now the family is running out of money to buy rice and noodles, and the old lady in the room wants food and surprises, where can I get it for her?"
"Also, selling the carriages and horses was not my idea."
"Whose is that?" Shen Bailin frowned. "It's impossible that my mother said such a crazy thing."
"Ruyi said so." Qin Yunshuang said solemnly, "Do you still remember the dream I told you about before?"
"You mean, the one in which our family is very rich and Ruyi is worshipped as a god who knows everything?" Shen Bailin sobered up a lot after hearing this.
The time when he was sure to win when gambling with Shen Ruyi flashed through his mind.
Thinking of this, he felt itchy again.
If he hadn't been unlucky enough to be framed by the people in the casino and not be allowed to play in all the casinos in Beijing, he would definitely have been traveling around with Ruyi and made a lot of money.
"What Ruyi said is another matter. This child has been smart since she was young, and she is different from others. I have always felt that she will have a bright future, and she is no worse than Shen Tang from the first wife's house. What else did Ruyi say?"
Shen Bailin drank the sobering soup brought by Qin Hanyan and asked seriously.
"She also told us to use the money to buy a barren mountain in the western suburbs, saying that this was our only chance to turn things around." Qin Hanyan frowned slightly.
"Sell it! Find someone to sell it tomorrow morning. I'll go find the old lady tomorrow to get some of the previous items." Shen Bailin felt intuitively that after buying the barren mountain as Shen Ruyi said, their second branch would really be able to turn things around.
"Oh, by the way, Ruyi also said that we can find a senior monk from Nanhang to repair Fangcheng's jade pendant. He has been unable to study since the jade pendant was cracked. With the help of the jade pendant, he could have become the top scholar and a prime minister."
Speaking of this, Qin Hanyan's tone was full of frustration.
The eldest wife is really going too far. She wants to have all the good things.
The daughter is smart, and the son also has to study hard, and he also inherited the title of marquis. Isn't this making life difficult for the second branch of the family?
"We don't have the money to find someone now, so we'll have to wait until we buy the barren mountain."
Qin Hanyan nodded.
The next morning, Shen Bailin went to Old Madam Shen's courtyard and begged and made a fuss. Finally, he coaxed the two gold bracelets that Old Madam Shen had hidden in the bottom of her box to come to him.
Shen Bailin gave one to Qin Hanyan to exchange for money to buy the mountain, and kept the other to exchange for money for drinking.
Qin Hanyan acted quickly and found someone to sell the carriage and horses that same day.
Looking at the five hundred taels of silver in her hand, Qin Hanyan felt sad.
In the past, she would not have taken such a small amount of silver seriously, but now it is different. The mere five hundred taels of silver has already sold out everything that can be sold at home.
She held Shen Ruyi in her arms and, under Shen Ruyi's guidance, found the owner of the barren mountain.
The old man looked at Qin Hanyan with surprise, "Nothing can grow well on my mountain, what are you doing here?"
"Ah..." Qin Hanyan was speechless after hearing his question.
Shen Ruyi spoke slowly, "Hello, old man. Although no trees can grow on that hilltop, it has been used by the elderly in my family and is suitable for a cemetery."
"We are also making preparations for the elderly in our family after they pass away." As she spoke, Shen Ruyi blinked and squeezed out two lines of tears.
Qin Hanyan was stunned at first, but she reacted immediately, imitating Shen Ruyi's way of wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, "Yes, the old man at home is not in good health, so let's go to the master, and buy that mountain to bring good luck."
