Chapter 188
The sun was sinking to the west, and the sky was getting dark gradually. In Mao'er Mountain, the teams who came out to search for people all lit torches.
They have been looking for someone for almost a day. They have searched the inner and outer sides of Mao'er Mountain, the four corners of the southeast, north and south.
Still haven't found Song Kaiming and the third master, these three people seem to have evaporated from the world, if they were eaten by a tiger, then at least some clothes and shoes should be left behind?
The beast eats people, but it doesn't even swallow the shoes, does it?
When they were looking for someone today, they found seven or eight arrows under a big tree, which should have been left by the three of them, Nan Jin and Zi Yao Shangshang, yesterday.
They can all be found, why can't they find Song Kaiming and the others, they are gone, there is no clue at all.
Patriarch Song Zhengde sighed and said to the people beside him, "You tell everyone to come back, don't look for it, let's talk about it tomorrow."
It was so late, and they would have to spend the night outside if they didn't go back.
"Yes, patriarch."
Qingshuigou, Shangshu's house, Liu Shi and Lan Suyun saw two large parcels in the main room, "Ziyao, did you buy this from Tuo Shangshang?"
"What did you buy? Clothes? Quilts?"
At this time Song Ziyao was finishing writing the letter, put it away, "I didn't buy it, it was Uncle Shen Xi, today Shangshang went to Shilixiang to sell tigers, the two happened to meet so they asked Shangshang to send it over."
"It's full of thick winter clothes, and he stuffed 5000 taels of silver bills in the letter." Song Ziyao said as he handed five 1000 taels of silver bills to Mrs. Liu.
Shen Xi said in the letter that when their family had an accident, it was out of town, and it couldn't help, so I felt really guilty. Song Ziyao didn't think there was anything to feel guilty about. .
Taking a step back, even if he is in the capital, what help can he do!
At that time, even her great-aunt, Concubine Hui, and her cousin, the Eighth Prince, couldn't say anything about their family's affairs.
What can he say in front of the emperor as a man with no official rank or status? If he angers the emperor, he will find an excuse to copy your house.
It happens to fill the treasury, so it's not necessary.
As the richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Shen family had an innumerable amount of property. I don't know how much.
Whenever there is a drought or flood in the country and court officials are required to donate silver together, other families will contribute a few hundred taels, a few thousand taels, and at most tens of thousands of taels.
And the Shen family made several million taels when they made a move, which shows that the family's wealth is strong!
"Take the clothes, we don't want this banknote, you can trouble Shangshang to send it back tomorrow." Mrs. Liu took the banknote and put it on the table beside her.
He also said, "Shen Xi is a very good person, and when something like this happened, he still misses our family as always."
Mrs. Liu was filled with emotions, but her daughter-in-law Lan Suyun opened the package and took out a piece of clothing inside, and said appreciatively, "The material of this clothing is really good, it is made of Yunjin."
To say that she likes the child Shen Xi, in the capital before, when the other party came back to their home, he would bring some special and precious materials to their family members.
It is said that they were collected from other places. Although their family used to be a dignified Shangshu mansion, the family really didn't have much money to support their female relatives to buy some particularly precious materials.
After all, father-in-law's salary is only a few hundred taels of silver a year, and her family's husband is a small official of the sixth rank, so his salary is not much in a year.
The income of the mansion depends entirely on my uncle's business, and her mother-in-law's family's support, and occasionally there are rewards from the palace.
But the rewards in the palace are either the emperor or the concubine Hui, and the rewards cannot be sold as pawns.
Liu Shi smiled, "Shen Xi likes to give us these clothes and fabrics."
"Uncle Shen said that he was afraid we wouldn't get used to it, so we still made the clothes from the old material." Song Ziyao smiled.
At the beginning, she ransacked her home and went to jail, but she was really not used to it a few days before she was exiled. She felt uncomfortable everywhere, lying on the ground and couldn’t sleep, couldn’t eat the food given by the government, couldn’t bear the high-intensity commuting every day, and couldn’t stand her own unkempt hair. look, but you have to get used to it and accept it later.
Because your resistance is ineffective, you hate sleeping on the ground at night, and you will be sleepy on the road the next day, and you will be hungry if you don’t eat. As for your appearance, you are a prisoner, so there is no need to put on airs.
No one looks at you, pays attention to you.
