Chapter 151 Deserves to be struck by lightning
Princess Shaoyang was carried back home. As soon as she woke up, she found that she seemed to have had a dream. In the dream, she was struck on the head by a thunder as soon as she walked out of the restaurant.
"This is not true!"
Princess Shaoyang was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and stood up immediately.
She quickly walked to the bronze mirror, saw her bald head, cried out "Ah!", and fainted again.
The same thing happened in Fenyang Marquis' Mansion. When Meng Yuran woke up and saw that her hair was burnt black by lightning, she cried so hard.
She cried loudly, picked up the items on the table, and threw them at the bronze mirror, screaming madly:
"Ah! What happened? My hair, where is my hair?"
Shen Mingzhu and Wang Mang left the restaurant happily. Along the way, she heard various versions of the princess being struck by lightning and couldn't help laughing.
Wang Mang noticed Shen Mingzhu's abnormality and asked in confusion:
"Was it you who caused Princess Shaoyang to be struck by lightning?"
Shen Mingzhu glanced at Wang Mang and asked, "Why do you say I did it?"
Wang Mang didn't say anything. He intuitively felt that it was Shen Mingzhu who did it.
After all, in this world, so far, the only two people who can control the power of thunder and lightning are him and Zhuzhu.
But, what if it was Zhuzhu who did it? Zhuzhu would not use lightning to strike people for no reason. Since those two people were struck by Zhuzhu's lightning, it means that they deserved to be struck by lightning.
Shen Mingzhu didn't know what Wang Mang was thinking. Anyway, there was no evidence that she was the one who did it, and she would never admit that she did it even if she was beaten to death.
Thinking of the relationship between Wang Mang and Princess Shaoyang, Shen Mingzhu tested Wang Mang:
"Your cousin was struck by lightning, and you don't seem to care."
"I have so many cousins, who is she?"
Wang Mang spoke proudly and explained to Shen Mingzhu his relationship with Prince Zhuang's family.
Her maternal grandfather's family had a bad relationship with Prince Zhuang's family. As a result, Prince Zhuang's wife often spoke ill of his mother in front of the Queen Mother, which led to him being ostracized by Prince Zhuang as soon as he was born.
In order to prevent him from growing up healthily, people led by Grand Tutor Pang and Prince Zhuang even fabricated rumors that he was a monster and a disaster, causing him to suffer a lot in the palace.
If his aunt had not entered the palace to raise him properly, he would have been tortured to death by the eunuchs.
After hearing this, Shen Mingzhu understood that Wang Mang had a grudge against this damn princess!
No wonder he was so happy when he saw the princess being struck by lightning!
Hehe, it’s good to have a grudge, as long as they have a grudge they can stand on the united front.
Shen Mingzhu and Wang Mang went shopping for a whole day, and Wang Mang bought her whatever she wanted.
Whenever she saw something nice, Wang Mang would immediately ask someone to pack it up as soon as she took a look at it, which made Shen Mingzhu laugh and cry.
She has her own money, right? She just took a look, right? Does Wang Mang like to pay the bill so much?
However, Shen Mingzhu really likes Wang Mang like this. It feels so good to have someone pay the bill!
It's better to have a rich man as a friend.
When they returned home in the evening, Jin Qianduo and Jin Youqian came to Shen's house again.
Jinqianduo's fat face was beaming with joy, and when he saw Shen Mingzhu, he was as happy as if he had seen gold.
"Miss Mingzhu is back! I haven't seen Mingzhu for a long time. She has grown taller."
I have to say that Jin Youqian is worthy of being a royal merchant, he knows how to talk.
Shen Mingzhu smiled sweetly and called out, "Uncle Jin, Brother Jin."
Jin Qianduo took out two silver bills from his sleeve pocket and stuffed them into Shen Mingzhu's pockets: "Come, Miss Mingzhu, use them to buy something you like."
He pointed to several batches of silk on the table and said to Shen Mingzhu:
"This is the gift I brought for you, along with some writing brushes, inkstones, and ready-made clothes. Congratulations to your father and grandfather on entering the Hanlin Academy."
At this point, Jin Qianduo gave Shen Mingzhu another house deed:
"This is a gift from me, a shop. It's for you. Please accept it."
Shen Mingzhu quickly refused. How could she just take money from a shop that had so much money?
Shops in the capital! How much does it cost to open a shop?
The most important thing is that shops in Beijing have good locations, which cannot be bought even with money.
Seeing Shen Mingzhu refuse, Qian Jinduo said:
"Just accept this gift for you. Since I took your health pills last time, I no longer have to breathe heavily when I walk. My health is very good. This is the consultation fee."
Since you insist on giving me so much money, then accept it. If you don't want it when you have money, you're a bastard. If you don't want a shop in Beijing where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, you're even more of a bastard than a bastard.
Shen Mingzhu understood that for wealthy businessmen who valued money and regarded money as just a number, a shop in the capital was far less important than their physical health.
Shen Mingzhu accepted the shop deed with a clear conscience and whispered to Jinqianduo:
"Uncle Jin, do you want to lose weight?"
Jin Qianduo's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you have that kind of medicine?"
Shen Mingzhu stuffed a bottle of weight loss pills that were harmless to the body into Qian Qianduo's pocket:
"Take one pill a day for ten days. Don't get too skinny!"
Jinqian was so happy that he felt that his gift of the shop was worth it.
Ever since he gained weight in middle age, he has been getting fatter and fatter. Now he has grown into a fat man weighing more than 200 pounds.
He was worried that he would get fatter and fatter and it would become more and more difficult for him to walk. Now, with the diet pills given by Mingzhu, he no longer has to suffer from obesity.
Jin Qianduo saw that Shen Ruhai and his men had not yet left their posts, and that the men from the Shen family were not there. After communicating with Shen Mingzhu for a while, he returned to the Jin Mansion with excitement.
Seeing her husband so happy, Mrs. Jin asked curiously, "What treasure did you get from the Shen family that made you so happy?"
Money said mysteriously:
"Madam, Xiao Mingzhu gave me some weight loss pills today, so I can...hehe"
Mrs. Jin spat at the money and said with a smile:
"Shen Mingzhu is really our family's lucky star. Her father passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, and her grandfather passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. I heard that they both entered the Hanlin Academy?"
Jin Qianduo nodded and said, "Indeed, Brother Ruhai's success in the imperial examinations is a great story in this dynasty. And Uncle Shen is really amazing. He even entered the Imperial Academy. The Shen family has a bright future!"
When Jin Qianduo talked about the Shen family, his eyes lit up. He felt that he was very discerning. He had made friends with the Shen family before Shen Ruhai and others passed the imperial examination.
Mrs. Jin thought more and said to Jin Qianduo:
"Old Jin! Have you ever thought about the future development of the Jin family?"
Jin Qianduo asked doubtfully: "How can the Jin family develop further? Our family has already reached the top of the business community. There is no better development."
Mrs. Jin was speechless and said, "Do you think that with your sister in the palace, our Jin family can always remain as the imperial merchant?"
"There are so many people watching our Jin family now, otherwise, you and Youqian wouldn't be hunted down, and you and your son wouldn't have almost lost your lives."
Jin Qianduo was shocked and asked Mrs. Jin seriously, "Madam, what do you mean?"
Mrs. Jin said firmly: "Divide our Jin family's shares into three parts, one for the emperor and one for the Shen family."
"What? Why should we give so many shares to the Shen family? Do you know how much the 30% share of the Jin family is worth?"
It’s not that he is reluctant to spend the money, but he thinks his wife is weird.
"You are stupid! Your sister will eventually grow old and lose her beauty. Our Jin family has no one in the court. Sooner or later, our Jin family will become the target of public criticism. Rather than being divided up and destroyed, it is better to find a backer as soon as possible."
"I think the Shen family is a good fit."
