Chapter 252 Young Master Yang

After staying in the new home for one night, Shen Yi took a present early the next morning and went to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Zhao.

This is due etiquette, and as Zhang Jian said, it also needs to be familiar in front of Zhao Shilang.

After all, after the opening of the new year, even if Zhao Shilang is not ranked as the prime minister, he should correct his position as the "deputy minister" of the household department, be promoted to the minister of the household department, and become the official god of wealth in the court.

In the past, when Shen Yi visited Zhao's house, he always went there in the evening, because Zhao Shilang would leave work in the evening, but now it is still during the holiday, Shen Yi went early in the morning and met Zhao Changping.

After some New Year's greetings, Zhao Shilang still invited Shen Yi to have lunch, and asked a few questions about the mansion, and Shen Yi answered them all truthfully, without hiding his huge thigh.

Zhao Shilang didn't say much, he just said lightly that he understood, and encouraged Shen Yi a few words, so that Shen Yi Chunwei could take the exam well.

After lunch, Shen Yi left Zhao's house. He spent some money on Dongshi Street to buy some New Year's goods. He took a cart that can be found in all streets and alleys in Jiankang City, and came to Dayifang to pay New Year's greetings to Old Man Gu. .

From a practical point of view, the private school teacher in Dayifang is also one of Shen Yi's teachers, and he has taught him a lot of knowledge in the scientific examination, which is of great benefit to him in the provincial examination.

Shen Yi stayed in Dayifang for nearly an hour before leaving. After returning to his new home, he saw two maids cleaning up the house at home, and the third son of Shen Ling, Shen Ling, went out early in the morning, saying that he was going to see the scenery of Jiankang.

Seeing Shen Yi coming back, the two little maids immediately surrounded him, held Shen Yi's hand, and chattered non-stop.

It's mainly about missing things.

Although there is no shortage of large objects in this house, such as beds, cabinets, tables and chairs, etc., except for these large objects, there are basically no other bits and pieces in life. That is to say, it is okay to live in, but not so good in life.

Especially some things that need to be used in the kitchen need to be purchased.

Shen Yi looked at Qing'er, who was in charge of the account, and asked, "Didn't I give you money? You can just buy what you need, don't ask me."

"No money…"

Qing'er lowered her head, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Young master, the last time you gave money was last year, and you gave ten taels of silver to the servant, which is enough for daily expenses, but it is not enough to buy these things. I went to Dongshi Street to see, for such a big family, if you want to buy all the small things, you need at least a dozen taels of silver, and there are only five taels of silver left on the servants."

Qing'er bowed her head in embarrassment and said: "There are some servants' own money in it..."

Shen Yi slapped his head, only then remembered that it had been a long time since he had "spended" the two little maids.

He groped in his arms for a while, but found no broken silver, and then went to the luggage in his room, found a 100 tael Jiankang money shop exchange ticket, handed it to Qing'er after he came out, and said: "We've moved to a new house. The house is not bad. You can't save money where you need to spend it. Take the money and buy what you need to buy, um..."

"You can use it as you see it, just don't spend it too fast."

100 taels is a huge amount. In the past, it was enough for the two brothers Shen Yi to live in a big city like Jiangdu for several years.

It was also the first time for Qing'er to see such a large exchange ticket. She shook her head in fright and said, "Master, so much money... I dare not ask for it..."

"Just keep an account of how much you spent."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "It's not like we've known each other for a day or two, I believe in Qing'er."

Although these two servant girls were born as court ladies, they are currently in a "employment" relationship with Shen Yi, but they are not free. Without Shen Yi, they would not even be able to leave the house. To be captured by the government.

Therefore, Shen Yi is not afraid of them absconding with money.

Qing'er was quite moved in his heart, lowered his head and said: "Don't worry, my lord, this servant will definitely take care of your account..."

Shen Yi looked up at the sky, and seeing that it was still early, he looked at the two little maids, and said with a smile: "It's still a while before evening, let's go to Dongshi Street together, if there are any big things that need to be bought, I will help you." It can be more convenient."

If two little girls go shopping in Dongshi Street, they may be bullied by those shopkeepers, but it will be much better if a man is around.

The two little girls nodded quickly, and followed Shen Yi out of the yard. After locking the door, the two of them followed Shen Yi to Dongshi Street, one on the left and one on the right.

Dongshi Street and Xishi Street are the two largest markets in Jiankang City. As the capital of Chen State, the goods in these two markets are very complete. Basically, everything that can be found in the land of Middle Earth can be found here. .

Shen Yi took two little maids and walked around Dongshi Street for more than half an hour. After buying seven or eight things that must be bought, he was about to leave Dongshi Street when Ping'er at the side suddenly pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and said in a low voice: "My lord... It seems that someone is following us..."

Shen Yi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately glanced behind you from the corner of his eye, and saw that there were indeed two people following him on the street of Dongshi Street. Seeing Shen Yi stop, these two people disappeared in the distance with just one breath. In the crowd, I can no longer see it.

Shen Qilang faintly felt something was wrong in his heart, he took a deep breath and said: "Let's go, let's go back."

The two little maids nodded repeatedly.

The three left Dongshi Street in a hurry, but as soon as they reached the entrance of Dongshi Street, a middle-aged man in blue trousers and with a mustache stopped in front of Shen Yi.

"Master Shen Yi Shen?"

Shen Yi stopped, looked up at the middle-aged man, frowned and said, "Your Excellency?"

"The little one is just a domestic servant, and his humble name is not worth mentioning."

The middle-aged man in blue turned sideways slightly, stretched out a hand, and said with a smile: "My son, I have been waiting for you in the tea house for a while."

Shen Yi looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that there was indeed a teahouse at the intersection of Dongshi Street, named Chengyi Teahouse.

Shen Yi was silent for a while, and asked: "May I ask who is the young master in your family? Does Shen know him?"

The smile on the face of the middle-aged man in blue restrained, and he said lightly: "My son's surname is Yang."

"There are not many people in Jiankang City who dare to refuse my son's invitation."

Hearing the word "surname Yang", Shen Yi knew that today's "Hongmen Banquet" could not be avoided.

After being silent for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Young Master Yang invites you to drink tea, but Shen is naturally disrespectful, but there is still this matter in Shen's family, how about letting Shen and these two maids go home?"

"It's natural."

The middle-aged man smiled: "There is only one young person here, and no one blocked the way of the two girls."

Shen Yi looked back at the two little girls who were holding things in their arms, and said in a deep voice, "Did you hear that, Mr. Yang wants to invite me to drink tea, you two should go home first."

He deliberately emphasized the word "Yang".

Ping'er opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Qing'er on the side grabbed her, bowed her head to Shen Yi and said, "Master, we know."

"We'll go home now."

As she spoke, she pulled Ping'er away quickly.

And Shen Yi looked up at the teahouse with a calm expression.

"Lead the way."
