Chapter 72 Chapter 072: I really want to play
Shen Zhiqing was extremely reluctant to leave home for two months, but had no other choice.

He wears an exquisite Hetian jade ring on his thumb. Whenever he misses his sister and his family, he will touch the ring.

Ruan Ruan...

Wait for the second brother to come back.

……

The days passed like this.

After Xu Wanrou celebrated the Double Ninth Festival, she stayed at Xu's house for seven or eight days before returning to the General's Mansion.

She learned from others that Shen Qingqing had converted the cloth shop into a ready-made clothing store, and told Shen Zhiyuan.

The ready-made clothing store has just opened for a few days, and the business is booming, making money every day. It is said that the ready-made clothes are fashionable and beautiful, attracting ladies from the capital's high-ranking officials and nobles to rush to buy them.

Shen Zhiyuan didn't pay much attention to this matter. It was just a clothing store, and there were more than a dozen in the capital.

Moreover, my sister said that Shen Qingqing's soul also comes from the 21st century, and it is normal for him to apply things from other eras to this era to make money.

"Hey... Gege, hee hee hee..." Ruan Ruan was sitting in Shen Zhiyuan's arms. When she heard Xu Wanrou talking about the news that Shen Qingqing had opened a ready-made clothing store, she became even calmer.

There is a plot in the book where Shen Qingqing opened a clothing store. Not only did she open a clothing store, but she also opened a bank to sell jewelry. The two stores made her a lot of money, but this was three years later.

Unexpectedly, the plot was advanced.

After Shen Hong's family and Xie's family were confiscated and beheaded, Shen Qingqing opened a bank to provide financial support to the seventh prince Xuan Beichen, and a year later helped him ascend to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

Ruan Ruan felt that his family had to work hard to make money, relying on only two restaurants, an inn, a cake shop, two grain and oil stores, a cloth shop, and five shops.

The money earned was only enough to cover the expenses of the general's palace and to do good deeds.

It is still a bit difficult to fill the warehouse with wealth.

Especially since the mother's private treasury only has 30% of the dowry left, and the dowry must be replenished.

This grain and oil store in the capital is Cheng Yurong's dowry. The five farms are all located in the best fertile fields in the suburbs. Their annual output not only supplies the Shen family, but also supplies the grain and oil store.

I can earn about three to four thousand silver every year.

The operation of the inn is average, and it can only earn four to five thousand silver per year. Too many employees will cost a lot of money.

The same goes for Buzhuang, which only earns three to four thousand silver per year.

After Shen Hong's mother passed away, his grandfather sent the dowry back to his maternal grandfather's house.

Originally, according to the law, after the mother's death, her dowry could be inherited by her children.

But Shen Hong's grandfather insisted on sending the dowry back to his maternal grandfather's house.

Just because his grandparents lost their only daughter at that time, they were so sad that they couldn't afford to fall ill.

It happened that his two uncles were in trouble again and were short of money to solve the problem.

Now Shen Hong's maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother have both passed away thirty years ago, leaving only two uncles living in his hometown. One has been a seventh-grade official for twenty years, and the other is in business.

……

Mid-October
Ruan Ruan is seven and a half months old. He can eat and sleep, and he is living a very comfortable life raising pigs.

Especially when winter comes and the weather gets colder, the family members take turns hugging her, which is warmer than using a hand warmer.

It was the end of November in the blink of an eye, and it started to snow in the capital.

It snowed heavily for three consecutive days, covering the inside and outside of the capital with thick snowflakes, making it as quiet as a deserted city.

Except for attending the academy for half a day on the first day, Shen Zhijie and Shen Zhicheng spent the remaining two and a half days at the General's Mansion Maodong.

After all, there was too much snow and the roads were closed.

Shen Hong also didn't go to court for two days.

On the fourth day, the snow stopped and the sun came out. Although it wasn't warm, at least it was sunny.

Shen Hong led Shen Zhiyu and a dozen boys to shovel the snow at the gate. People nearby also came out to shovel the snow. It took them a whole morning to make a small path from the entire road that a carriage could pass through.

Each courtyard of the General's Mansion was also covered with thick snow, and through the work of the servants, paths were cleared for walking.

There are several hills covered with snow, which cannot be melted even when the sun comes out.

Ruan Ruan really wants to build a snowman and play snowballs.

In my previous life, I grew up in the south and had never seen snow, let alone played in it. It's a pity that he is young and can't speak.

She wore four pieces of clothing. The coat was a light red jacket and white trousers, which made her look round and round.

"Eaaah... Gege... Benxuexue... Hehehe..." She waved her little hands and almost broke away from Shen Zhijie's arms.

He was startled and hugged her tightly with both hands.

"Lao Wu, go pick up some snow for your sister to play with."

"But Xue Leng, can my sister play?" Shen Zhicheng disagreed, fearing that his mother would scold him if she found out.

"Don't I know it's cold? But my sister doesn't know. You have to play with her before you know. See if she still wants to play in the future."

This is how Shen Zhijie educates his sister. Instead of trying to persuade her not to play, it is better to let her get in touch with it.

If you get hurt, you will remember it so you won't make the same mistake next time.

Shen Zhicheng had no choice but to walk to the roadside and grab a handful of snow. The cold made his body shiver.

The cat has been in winter for three days and is really not used to being out today.

He held the snow and placed it in front of Ruan Ruan, stamping his feet coldly.

I would have known better when I went out with gloves.

"Hehe hehe... learn, learn, learn..." Ruan Ruan reached out excitedly to touch the white snow in Shen Zhicheng's palm. When her fingertips touched the cold snow, she shivered uncontrollably.

The coldness reaches Tianling Cap from the soles of my feet,

"Ahhh..." It's so cold.

She retracted her right hand and looked at the handful of snow warily, wanting to play but not daring.

[Why is the snow so cold? It's freezing me to death, but I really want to play. 】

Hearing their sister's voice, Shen Zhijie and Shen Zhicheng were helpless.

They just took her to hang out in the garden.

Shen Zhicheng threw away the snow in his hand and thought of an idea. "Sister, be good, I'll ask someone to get some gloves for you to put on, and I'll put some snow in a bottle for you to play with."

Turning around, he told the wet nurse to go back and get Ruan Ruan's little gloves and a small bottle.

"Hehehe... No. Duck." Ruan Ruan was so happy. How come fifth brother understands her so well?
Shen Zhiji held Ruan Ruan and Shen Zhicheng everywhere in the garden. The sun was shining brightly, although it was not very warm.

The garden is a scene of dead trees and fallen trees, and even the Lotus Lake is like this in summer, with a thick layer of ice forming on the lake's surface.

It's okay. If you wait another two months, you'll probably be able to see the tender green color.

The only flowering thing in the garden is the plum tree, which is located in the north-south direction, close to the rockery and flowing water.

There are about forty or fifty trees, and now the plum trees are full of buds and are about to bloom.

The wet nurse took the gloves and the bottle and rushed to the garden.

Ruan Ruan put on white fluffy little gloves, which looked more cute than a little bear. He even wore a red rabbit fur hat on his head.

Shen Zhicheng went to the roadside to fill a small bottle of snow, and they returned to the hall together. It was almost lunch time.

Ruan Ruan was sitting on the Arhat bed covered with a layer of fox fur, playing with the snow in the small bottle.

When Shen Hong came in, he saw his daughter playing in the snow with her face and clothes covered with snow. He was so angry that he wanted to scold the brothers Shen Zhijie and Shen Zhicheng.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Ruan responded faster.

"Diedie, acupoint, haowan..." At nine months old, she could pronounce words more clearly.

She grabbed two handfuls of snow and threw it towards Shen Hong.

It's just that his strength is weak, and the snow can even fly out of the Arhat's bed.

He was stunned for a moment and said aggrievedly: "Girl, you are your father, not Diedie."

He is not a butterfly.
