071: Mustard Seed Space

After the Shen clan returned, the place was left in a state of sanitation. Cheng Yurong arranged for more than a dozen servants to clean it.

  Shen Zhiyuan held Ruan Ruan in his arms and took her back to the Song Dynasty.

  When there are no outsiders, he walks alone. Now

  that he is a normal person, he can't even sit in a wheelchair.

  Anyway

  , they had free time in the afternoon and

  had nothing to do with each other. If they do, they will go to Xianren Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, which is a traditional activity during the Double Ninth Festival.   However

  , family members have had accidents in recent years, and they have not been able to go there for five years.

  My sister is still young this year, so it is not suitable for going to the mountain

  ...

In the past, it rained lightly for three days and two nights.

  One autumn rain and one cold. The three autumn rains took away the last trace of warmth in the capital, and the cold followed.   "This year

  , everyone put on three thick clothes.

It seems to be getting cold very quickly. Fortunately, I gave the servants a set of winter clothes first, otherwise they would be freezing today."

  Cheng Yurong looked at the gray sky and was in a bad mood.

  "Madam, this kind of weather is really scary. I remember that one year, more than 20 years ago, winter started very early and it was very cold.

  Even the southernmost towns had heavy snow and hail for several days, and many people froze to death."

  Aunt Zhou frowned, remembering how old she was. She was still living in the south. Because her parents died of illness, she was sold to Ren Yazi by her relatives and became a slave.   That

  year, she was sold to a wealthy family because of the snowstorm in the south.

That relative's whole family froze to death,

  right?

  But she is living well now. She came to the capital in the third year of her prostitution and was lucky enough to meet his wife. Later, she recovered and married Dr. Zhou at the age of twenty. , gave birth to a son.

  "Well, let's buy more charcoal, warm clothes, quilts and food this year to avoid a real snowstorm."

  Cheng Yurong couldn't help but worry that

  if there was a serious snowstorm in the south this year, so would the north. It won't be much better.

  Seven-month-old Ruan Ruan is playing with a dozen small toys that her brothers bought her, and there is a box of toys in her side room

  . With these four words, several fragments of the novel suddenly flashed through Ruan Ruan's mind, which seemed to mention the snow disaster in

  the south. This freezing disaster was the worst in a hundred years, causing hundreds of thousands of people to die

  . We didn't prepare so   much clothing, food and firewood to keep out the cold,

  so most of them froze to death.

Prepare a lot of clothing, food, charcoal and firewood for the winter. Oops, forget it, use the merit money to redeem it from my mall system! It's cheap. ]

  [By the way, mother, the weather has started to get colder in the twelfth lunar month in the south, and the mountains have been covered with heavy snow, and water has turned into ice. , causing hundreds of thousands of people to freeze to death.] [This early prevention should reduce the number of casualties. Mother, why don't we open a grain and oil store?   The

  rice, flour and oil in my mall system are very cheap.

? ?" Cheng Yurong was stunned and her pupils shrank.

  Hundreds of thousands of people were frozen to death?

  She trembled when she thought of that horrific scene.

  She was born in a wealthy family and had never experienced a life of hunger and cold. She can still understand the feelings of ordinary people, so she can persist in doing good deeds without asking for anything in return.

  It is enough to do your best and have a clear conscience.

  After pondering for a long time, Cheng Yurong thought that it was a good thing that her daughter proposed opening a grain and oil store.     She immediately went to Lao Er to discuss the matter and told him about the freezing disaster that would occur in the south.

  When Shen Hong came back in the evening and learned about the incident, he discussed with his family that Shen Zhiqing would take the supplies to the south to open a grain and oil store and sell them to ordinary people at the lowest price.

  When December comes, we will donate hundreds of thousands of kilograms of food.

  ...

  After waiting for a month, Ruan Ruan's original level five will finally be upgraded to level six.

  Because ten million kilograms of merit has been accumulated enough, there will be eight to nine million in August, and more than one million is the merit she earned from the cause and effect of selling a dozen Taoist talismans.

  Almost a dozen Taoist talismans were all seeking children. Ever since Mrs. Tan and her third aunt became pregnant, many ladies in the aristocratic circle in the capital learned that the two of them had embraced Ruan Ruan, the virgin who gave birth to a child, and got a child-seeking talisman. Later, when she became pregnant, many people came over and asked to hold Ruan Ruan in their arms, and to buy a begging letter.

  Cheng Yurong was annoyed by the fuss, so she asked Ruan Ruan to sell the child-seeking charm.

  Ruan Ruan also thinks that selling the child-seeking talisman is better than being hugged by strangers all day long.

  Although she doesn't care about life and has no mysophobia, she can't bear to have her hair pulled out.

  Everyone touched her beautiful black hair, and everyone said they wanted to have a cute and handsome girl like her.

  After the mall system reaches level six, you will get a chance to draw a lucky draw.

  This time Ruan Ruan was lucky and drew a Hetian jade ring. This is a mustard space that can store millions of kilograms of items.

  She thought that this mustard space was just right for her second brother to bring supplies to the south.

  ...

  I don't know what's going on, but it's only been half a month since those ladies returned home with the child-seeking charms, and all of them are actually pregnant.

  Ruan Ruan was shocked.

  Could it be that he really gave birth to a virgin?

  Otherwise, it would be impossible for the child-seeking talisman to make someone pregnant within half a month!

  Since Shen Zhiqing was going to bring hundreds of thousands of grain to the south to open a grain and oil store and provide disaster relief, Ruan Ruan only had a few dozen merit gold left in the system space. Cheng Yurong and the five Shen brothers worked hard to do good deeds.

  Going to the suburbs to give porridge, delivering soup and medicine to free clinics,

  even helping an old lady cross the road, giving alms to beggars, giving medicine to save people...

  whatever they can do, they try to do it themselves.

  After Ruan Ruan's name as the virgin who gave birth to children was announced, not only the ladies from the capital came to the general's mansion to buy child-seeking charms, but also from several nearby prefectures, people began to come to the general's mansion to buy child-seeking charms.

  The news spread wider and wider.

  In order to be able to hold Ruan Ruan in their arms, the ladies each bought several hundred taels of gifts and sent them to the general's mansion.

  Seeing the gift of a few hundred taels, Ruan Ruan reluctantly had to be hugged and patted on the head by the ladies in turn.

  A month later...

  the merit gold was saved to more than two million. Thanks to Ruan Ruan selling more than fifty child-seeking charms, otherwise I don't know when I would be able to buy cheap food.

  Two kilograms of ordinary rice requires one merit gold. If you exchange it for two million kilograms, you will spend one million merit gold.

  One piece of cotton cloth costs three merit gold, and 150,000 pieces of cotton cloth requires 450,000 merit gold.

  A five-pound quilt costs five merit gold, and a hundred thousand quilts cost five hundred thousand merit gold.

  A total of 1.95 million merit gold was spent, and the remaining 100,000 merit gold was exchanged for medicinal materials to treat wind and cold, a total of 10,000 copies.

  There is no shortage of firewood and charcoal in the south. Shen Zhiqing will buy a large amount of firewood and charcoal when he goes to the south, so he goes out with a thousand taels of silver.

  Shen Zhiqing handed over the cake shop to Shen Zhiyu and Shen Zhijie to help take care of it, while he took away two million kilograms of grain from the suburbs in the mustard space.

  There were also 100,000 pieces of cotton cloth, 100,000 five-pound quilts and other items, which were put on the big ship and headed south.

  After this trip, I will probably not return to the capital until the end of December.
