Chapter 149 Come back with the banknotes
He looked at the two brothers with a smile and said, "If you want to study, just go and study! You don't have to worry about the academy, and I don't need you to give me money. You just need to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones."
Uncle Xiao immediately understood that Shen Qianning wanted to help them pay.
He immediately refused and said: "I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Their family already owed Shen Qianning a lot, but they could no longer let Shen Qianning help.
Shen Qianning looked at Old Man Xiao very calmly and asked: "Don't you always want your two children to become talented and stand out? You told me before that you will suffer a lot if you are illiterate. Even if Yuanjiang and Yuanshan are not the material for school, but It’s also good for them to learn to read!”
"But..." Mr. Xiao suddenly didn't know what to say.
He knew that the future of his two children was at stake.
He also knows that he is not qualified to make decisions about his child's future life.
But their family really owed Shen Qianning a lot.
He didn't want to owe Shen Qianning any more favors.
Shen Qianning continued: "Besides, even if they don't take the exam, they can still help me in the future! My business will definitely grow bigger and bigger in the future, and I need help from trustworthy people around me. I can't trust people outside, Yuanjiang and Yuanshan I watched them grow up, so I definitely trust them more."
Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Yuanjiang both looked at Shen Qianning gratefully.
Shen Qianning saw that Mr. Xiao was moved.
I feel that I should make the importance of the matter clear to Mr. Xiao: "With the relationship between our two families, I am also helping myself by helping Yuanjiang and Yuanshan. You can't just watch such a studious child fail to study!"
Xiao Dongchen also begged for mercy at this time: "Grandpa Xiao, please let Brother Yuanshan and Brother Yuanjiang study with us! The teachers and classmates in the academy are very good and can learn a lot."
Xiao Nanchuan and Xiao Xiyue also said quickly.
The persuasion of several people finally made Mr. Xiao make up his mind.
Uncle Xiao looked at Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Yuanjiang's expectant eyes and said, "You remember Aunt Shen's kindness to you. When you grow up, you must repay Aunt Shen well."
Both children looked at Shen Qianning gratefully.
Xiao Dongchen and the others stayed at home for two days. During these two days, Shen Qianning did nothing but stayed with her three children seriously.
Shen Qianning was reluctant to say goodbye to her children again.
Only this time, she brought Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Yuanjiang with her.
The two brothers Xiao Yuanshan were very nervous, especially after leaving the village, they were obviously uneasy.
Shen Qianning just gave Xiao Dongchen a look, and Xiao Dongchen understood what Shen Qianning meant.
Started to comfort Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Yuanjiang.
Shen Qianning was quite pleased, he was really a great son to his mother.
Gradually, Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Yuanjiang became less nervous.
Knowing that the two children did not buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones, Shen Qianning went to the study and bought a set for each of them.
The two accepted it with Shen Qianning's encouragement.
Reluctantly sending the children to the academy, Shen Qianning reluctantly left.
Every time I send my children to the academy, I feel empty in my heart.
Shen Qianning was about to go back, but Magistrate Meng chased him out.
"Wait, there's your letter!"
Shen Qianning became energetic as soon as he heard the letter.
He quickly turned around and walked towards Magistrate Meng and said, "Is this a letter from the border?"
Magistrate Meng nodded and handed the letter to Shen Qianning.
Shen Qianning took the letter. Different from the thin letter before, this time it was a thick letter.
Magistrate Meng said: "I have kept the person who delivered the letter. You have to reply and send the letter to the county seat tomorrow. There should be many letters because it is so thick!"
After Shen Qianning said goodbye, she found a deserted place and opened the letter as soon as she left the county.
Sure enough, this letter also contains letters written by everyone to report that they are safe.
She selected those from Qingtian Village and Niwo Village, and first went to Xingfu Village to give the letter to Qinglin.
Then we rushed back to Niwo Village.
When I got home, I opened Xiao Feiye's letter directly.
As soon as I opened it, the first thing that caught my eye was a 100-tael silver note.
After Shen Qianning finished reading the letter, he realized that it was Xiao Feiye's reward and military pay for his military exploits.
Xiao Feiye had always been thinking about his family, so he collected 100 taels of silver and sent it back, hoping that Shen Qianning and her children could live a good life.
Shen Qianning held the banknote and Xiao Feiye's appearance appeared in her mind.
I also know that these 100 taels of silver are hard-earned, and doing business at the border is different from doing business at home.
Doing business is very profitable, and it is easier than border customs.
But Bianguan is different. If Bianguan wants to make money, he has to go through life and death.
She folded the letter and put it into the space.
The letter mentioned that the medicine was known to Yue Ling and was known to more people in the army, so he was always nervous.
Xiao Feiye said that he knew it would be hard to make the medicine and asked her not to send it to the border.
Shen Qianning didn't understand Xiao Feiye's painstaking efforts.
And he also guessed Xiao Feiye's situation.
Thinking about it, those in the army should seek medicine from him.
Xiao Feiye's identity is probably not easy to refuse.
Fortunately, I sent some over before.
This time Shen Qianning decided to prepare some different medicine for Xiao Feiye.
She found Mr. Xiao and gathered everyone in the village.
Then he read the letter to everyone and gave everyone the banknotes included in the letter.
The men from each family brought back a banknote worth ten taels of silver.
After getting the banknote, everyone was happy and worried.
I'm happy that all the men in my family are fine. The ten taels of silver have a great impact on the whole family.
What I'm worried about is that the money must have been earned through charging into battle again and again.
Shen Qianning waited for everyone to calm down and then said: "If you want to write a letter to your man, come to my house to find me later. I will go to the city early tomorrow morning."
Everyone in the village wants to bring a message to their man.
So Shen Qianning spent about an hour writing everyone's letters.
Qinglin came early the next morning.
He handed the thick letter directly to Shen Qianning.
Shen Qianning had not opened the letter from Qingtian Village before and asked, "Did they bring you a banknote back?"
Qinglin quickly nodded and said with a smile: "Take it, every household will have ten taels of silver."
He was happy that everyone was still alive.
Shen Qianning took the letter and locked the door: "I won't tell you anymore. I will deliver the letter first and then come to you."
Hurrying into the city, she handed a wooden box to the messenger.
The messenger was specially sent by Yue Ling.
Looking at the wooden box, his expression became much more serious: "I would like to ask, is there any medicine in this?"
Shen Qianning was a little surprised.
Surprisingly, the messenger guessed what was inside the box.
The messenger quickly explained; "I am Lord Yue's subordinate."
Shen Qianning suddenly realized and admitted: "There is medicine in it. Since you are Master Yue's man, you should know how important the contents in this box are and must be delivered to the military camp safely."
The messenger made a few promises and left on horseback.
Master Meng was very curious about the medicine in the box and asked, "What kind of medicine is in that box?"
Shen Qianning glanced at Master Meng and explained: "Medicine for treating trauma."
