Chapter 144 The Elders Think You Are Poor
Wei Chenrui roughly counted those boxes, there were ten boxes, and with the dozen banknotes in his hand, the entire Yong'anhou Mansion might have been emptied.

Being so supported by the elders, Wei Chenrui was very moved: "Thank you, grandpa and grandma, Xinyi Chenrui took it, but the money is not needed by Chenrui, so you should take it back! I'm afraid it will empty the house, If Chen Rui accepts it, how will you live."

Marquis Yong'an knew that Wei Chenrui was worried that there was no money at home, so he was very upset in his heart, and he was really angry on his face: "You don't have to worry at home, with your uncle here, we can still starve our old couple."

Wei Chenrui is very helpless, this kind of elder thinks you are poor, you really can't refuse, so you can only nod and accept: "If that's the case, then Chen Rui will accept it brazenly!"

Marquis Yong'an nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, you should give it a little later, if it's not enough, tell grandpa, grandpa will ask your uncles for support."

What Wei Chenrui could do, he could only nod his head in agreement: "Okay, I'll talk to you later when I've finished counting!"

If you can't refuse this money, then accept it all, and when the time comes to research something, just give them the right to sell it, and they will definitely not lose money.

Seeing that Wei Chenrui accepted it calmly, Marquis Yong'an left with peace of mind.

Sending away Marquis Yong'an, Wei Chenrui was afraid that other officials would come to deliver the money, so he had to close the door and return to the East Palace.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the East Palace, he was invited to the Palace of Compassion and Ning where the Empress Dowager was. The Empress and Wei Chenrui's mother and concubine were both there.

After Wei Chenrui greeted each other one by one, and sat down in his seat, the queen mother said, "Chen Rui, I heard that you are going to set up a [Technology Development Bureau] to specialize in researching things like electric fans?"

Wei Chenrui nodded: "Grandmother Huihuang, there is indeed such a thing!"

"The granddaughter originally wanted to be established by the imperial court, but due to some reasons, it failed, so she had to form it herself."

Although the Empress Dowager doesn't care about the government, she has heard about the courtiers, and she is not surprised at all: "Those courtiers are only staring at their own interests and rights, and their vision is too narrow."

Wei Chenrui agreed with the queen mother's words: "Yes, the reason why my granddaughter wants to be established by the imperial court is also to hope that these things will not fall into the hands of interested people, and will not be stolen by the enemy."

"There's nothing wrong with building it yourself. It's just a matter of hiring more guards. The granddaughter has met a lot of people in the world this time when she is out of the palace. They are very good at it, so I don't have to worry about not having guards."

The Empress Dowager nodded: "As long as you have success in your mind, this [Technology Development Bureau] is in your hands to handle it, so Aijia can feel more at ease."

"Invite more guards, don't be afraid to spend money, Ai's family still has some personal money, you can use it!"

Speaking of which, the nurse in charge beside her held an exquisite jewelry box and handed it to Wei Chenrui.

Just when Wei Chenrui was about to refuse, the queen mother said again: "Don't think about refusing, the Ai family knows that the Marquis of Yong'an sent you several boxes of gold, silver and jewels, there is no reason for you to accept his, not the Ai family's." , unless you think that the Ai family's offering is not as good as Yong'an Houshao, and you don't like it!"

After all the words have been said, what else can Wei Chenrui say, he can only accept it, reached out to take the jewelry box, and then handed it to Huixin behind him: "Take it well, this is the wish of the emperor's grandmother, go back and make a record!"

The queen mother gave it, and the queen will naturally not be left behind, as if it was agreed, she then took out a jewelry box and handed it to Wei Chenrui.

Wei Chenrui could say nothing, but couldn't say anything, and could only accept it again.

The empress dowager and the empress gave it all, and only Wei Chenrui's concubine Yang Guifei was left present. It didn't make sense that the queen's aunt gave money but his biological mother didn't give anything, so Wei Chenrui turned his attention to Yang Guifei.

Seeing Wei Chenrui looking over, Concubine Yang took the jewelry box from the maid and threw it at Wei Chenrui: "If you can't catch it, it's still mine!"

Although Wei Chenrui didn't intend to have it, but it was obvious that he wanted to test his skills, so he couldn't give up, so he had to catch the jewelry box with all his heart.

The queen mother, who was afraid that Wei Chenrui would not be able to catch her, was holding her breath. Seeing that Wei Chenrui took the jewelry box steadily, she was relieved and blamed Concubine Yang: "You said that you are a concubine mother. Children are not happy about ordering things, so they have to fix these bells and whistles."

Concubine Yang Guifei is the master who has been blamed all the time, her face has been trained to be thicker than that of the city wall, and she doesn't care about it: "Oh, Chen Rui is also a descendant of a general, it's too embarrassing if he can't even hold a jewelry box." The general's face."

"Besides, if her [Technology Development Bureau] is established, there will definitely be a lot of troubles. If you can't work hard, you might as well give up now and save yourself making clothes for others."

Although the words are not pleasant, but every sentence reflects Concubine Yang's concern for Wei Chenrui, so the queen mother will not say anything more. After all, Wei Chenrui was assassinated and disappeared not long ago. The queen mother, who has been sad and worried for a long time, The feeling at that time is still fresh in my memory.

As soon as he left the Compassionate Palace, Wei Chenrui was brought to Emperor Zhaohe by Liu Xi.

Not surprisingly, Emperor Zhaohe also gave Wei Chenrui money.

Handing the few banknotes in his hand to Wei Chenrui, Emperor Zhaohe was a little embarrassed: "Don't think too little, your father and my private treasury have been robbed a lot by Lao San over the years, and there is not much money, and we have to keep a lot of money." Things are used to reward the people below, and it is really not much."

From time to time, Emperor Zhaohe had to dig out some money from himself, and it was really not easy to get such a dozen silver notes at this time, how could Wei Chenrui dislike him: "Father, your money, I will treat it as your investment , when the development bureau earns money, it will give you a share, and your private treasury will have a steady stream of income."

Emperor Zhaohe couldn't be more happy with what he said: "Chen Rui is still filial!"

Hearing that Wei Chenrui said to share a share with Emperor Zhaohe, Liu Xi was also a little moved: "Your Highness, the slave has saved some retirement money, do you think I can invest some for you?"

Wei Chenrui still has some sympathy for these eunuchs, sympathizes with them for not being able to have their own offspring, and is willing to take care of them more within a certain range: "Okay, take it here!"

Wei Chenrui has always been kind to Liu Xi, Liu Xi also reciprocated, and prepared some money, which he planned to give directly, but when he asked, he changed his mind, seeing that Wei Chenrui agreed, he quickly prepared it He took out the bank note from his pocket: "Your Highness, please keep it."

Unexpectedly, Liu Xi carried these bank notes with him, Wei Chenrui was very surprised: "Eunuch Liu, do you usually carry your family money with you?"

Emperor Zhaohe laughed: "How is it possible, he was planning to give these to you."

Liu Xi nodded and said: "That's right, I have been taken care of by you a lot. When you are in trouble, I also want to do my part. If I can't help you with anything else, it's good to take some money."
