marquis of jingan

Chapter 181
Shen Yi is indeed making money.

To be precise, they were arranging work for Xu Fu and others.

After Xu Fu stayed in Jiangdu for a few days, he followed a caravan and returned to Jiankang. He went back alone, but brought back three people.

Xu Fu had a total of five friends. Except for the fourth child who made a mistake last time and was left in Jiangdu, the other four, including the youngest sister, were all brought to Jiankang by him.

With so many people all of a sudden, one Xu Ji Chuan Chuan was not enough. Shen Yi only left Ding Man alone to continue to set up a stall on the Qinhuai River, and then spent a few days to arrange a stall for the others. livelihood.

In fact, if it was in an era with a sound legal system and mature business, Shen Yi would not have to be so troublesome. Under the circumstances of Xu Ji's explosion and Jiankang, whether he is engaged in chain restaurants or catering training, he can accumulate a large amount of money in a short period of time. wealth.

It's a pity that the business rules of this era are still a bit rough after all. Many things can be done in theory, but it is not easy to operate in practice. Especially for catering training, firstly, it is easy for the first group of people to learn it and then pass it on privately. It's not easy to collect money.

Although there are appointment books in this era, and theoretically, they can also earn a share from those catering trainees, but Shen Yi and the others are still children, and there is no violence behind them to rely on, so it is difficult to do anything.

Therefore, Shen Yi did not intend to let Xu Fu and others engage in those industries that were too lucrative, but just found a job for each of the four little guys, and Xu Fu was responsible for preparing and coordinating for them.

In this way, after several days of busy work, Shen finally made arrangements for Xu Fu and others, and got some free time to go home and read books.

It is not yet May, and there is still half a year before the autumn rural examination, but half a year is not enough time for the scientific examination, because Shen Yi not only needs to read books, but also needs to do the questions.

When he was in Jiangdu Mansion, Mr. Qin and Mr. Lu would give him a composition every now and then and ask him to hand it in within a time limit. After handing it in, the two teachers would correct it one by one.

Now in Jiankang City, Shen Yi has no good teacher, so he can only write questions for himself, and then try to compose.

This way of learning is not very efficient.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the lawsuits from Northern Qi, Shen Yi would have been ready to go back to Ganquan Academy in Jiangdu to prepare for the exam. Anyway, Jiangdu is not far from Jiankang, so he just came to Jiankang before the provincial exam.

But right now there is no way to leave Jiankang, Shen Yi can only study by himself or go to Liquan Building to read books, try to keep himself in the state of the scientific examination, so as to ensure that he can perform normally in the rural examination.

On the third day when Shen Yi was finally able to study in peace, in the afternoon, a servant from the Zhao family came to the door and delivered a letter to Shen Yi.

The letter was actually a note written by Zhao Shilang.

The content of the note was very simple, it roughly meant to ask Shen Yi to go to Zhao's mansion to have dinner and attend the Zhao family's family banquet.

This is an even greater honor.

For a big man like Zhao Changping, it is not easy to meet him once in a day, let alone have dinner with him!

And it was the family banquet of the Zhao family!
After Shen Yi received this letter, he was very happy.

Because Zhao Shilang invited him to dinner, it means that there is a high probability that he will not be convicted of pouring tea!

Shen Yi didn't even think about it, so he just nodded and agreed. In the afternoon, he didn't even bother to read, so he left home and went around Dongshi Street to buy some gifts.

Zhao Shilang's gift is very easy to buy.

Because before Zhang Jian left Health, he told Shen Yi about Zhao Shilang's hobbies. This servant doesn't like wine, tea, or lust. Shen Yi searched for the pastries from Jiankang Qingsu Shop in Dongshi Street, successfully found the Qingsu Shop, and bought some pastries.

What is difficult to buy is Mrs. Zhao's gift.

Mrs. Zhao is said to be a well-known lady in the capital, and her family is well-off. Zhao Shilang has been an upright and honest official in recent years, and he has a lot to do with this lady. Since he came to attend a family banquet, he naturally wanted to buy something for Mrs. Zhao.

Shen Yi is not good at buying gifts for women, and Zhao Shilang is a bit old-fashioned and never accepts expensive things, which makes it even more difficult to buy.

Shen Yi wandered around Dongshi Street all afternoon, but couldn't find a suitable gift, so he picked out a valuable jade hairpin in a jewelry store, held it in his hand, and walked towards Zhao Shilang's house.

Before the sun sets, Shen Yi will rush to Zhao's house. At this moment, Zhao Shilang has not left work. After Shen Yi handed in the greeting card, not long after, Zhao Jizhou, the second son of Zhao's family, came to the front yard to lead Shen Yi I went to my backyard to meet my mother.

Shen Yi saw Mrs. Zhao in a side hall in the backyard of the Zhao family. He lowered his hands and bowed respectfully as a junior, kowtowing to Mrs. Zhao: "Junior Shen Yi, I pay my respects to Aunt Zhao."

Mrs. Zhao is only about 50 years old this year. Hearing this, she quickly helped Shen Yi up, and said with a smile: "I heard from the master, Shen..."

She said the word "Shen" and didn't continue, but looked at Shen Yi with a smile on her face.

This is to ask whether Shen Yi has a name, and what should be called.

Shen Yi bowed his head knowingly and said: "Auntie, this junior is a good seven, if you don't mind, you can call this junior Qilang."

"it is good."

Mrs. Zhao nodded with a smile and said: "I heard the master said something about Qilang. Since we are the young students of the academy, we are a family. After today, we can often come to sit at home when we have time."

Shen Yi lowered his hand and said yes, then took out the wooden box containing the hairpin from his arms, and said, "Auntie, it's not a respect when you meet for the first time. This is a little care from the younger generation, please accept it."

Mrs. Zhao gave the maidservant a wink, and the maid immediately stepped forward, took the box from Shen Yi's hand, and handed it to Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao took the box, opened it, looked at it, then shook her head slightly and said, "Some are too precious. Well, Shichiro should take it back."

"Master never lets me accept expensive gifts."

In fact, the things were not expensive, and only cost Shen Yi more than 30 taels of silver.

Moreover, this thing may be considered precious to ordinary people, but with Mrs. Zhao's background, I'm afraid it may not be possible to wear it out.

However, although Zhao Changping is the God of Wealth, he basically does not make money from his family. Mrs. Zhao has followed him these years, and her life is not considered luxurious, and she often relies on subsidies from her natal family. her eyes.

Shen Yi smiled at Mrs. Zhao, and said: "Auntie just said that we are a family, and it is only natural to give my aunt some things. Besides, the uncle has not come back at this time, and the younger generation has nothing to ask for. Auntie Just accept it."

What Shen Yi said meant that Zhao Changping could accept it without telling it.

Mrs. Zhao wanted to say more, Shen Yi continued: "Auntie stay for a few days, if you really don't like it, when the junior comes back in a few days, you will hand it over to the junior, and the junior will take it away without saying a word."

Mrs. Zhao wanted to say something more, but there was a movement in the front yard of the Zhao Mansion, she stood up, smiled and said: "I think the master is back, and Qilang will go with me to greet him?"

Shen Yi nodded, and followed Mrs. Zhao to the front yard of the Zhao family. As soon as he arrived at the front yard, he saw Zhao Changping walking towards him. Zhao Shilang first glanced at his wife, then saw Shen Yi, and said to his wife After a few words, he said directly to Shen Yi: "Madam said, there is still some time for dinner, Qilang will come with me, I have something to say to you."

After all, he walked towards the study with his hands behind his hands.

Shen Yi hurriedly followed up, all the way to Zhao Changping's study, followed Zhao Shilang into it, and then carefully closed the door.

After closing the door, Shen Yi carefully looked at Zhao Shilang, lowered his head and said, "Uncle Master, has the matter of the students come to fruition...?"

Zhao Changping glanced at Shen Yi with a strange look on his face.

"Your matter is still being processed, but because of you, there are some other results."

Zhao Shilang said slowly: "Today, the two ministers of the Ministry of Rites were demoted, and Cui Yu, the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, was dismissed..."

This Da Chen's God of Wealth looked at Shen Yi with some emotion.

"You Shen Qilang, this time he is not only famous in Jiankang, but also famous in the government and the public."
