Chapter 34 Teaching You to Sing

Originally, at this time, when meeting Fan Dongcheng and the two of them, Shen Yi should hide and try not to meet them, so as not to cause conflicts.

But since they have already bumped into each other, there is no need to shrink back. They just took the initiative to say hello and show confidence, so that these two people will not rush to attack Shen Yi again.

Hearing Shen Yi's slightly eccentric "Gong Xi Fa Cai", Ma Jun's expression turned a little ugly.

Although he hasn't taken over the family's business yet, he also knows that the sharp increase in food prices in Jiangdu this time is risky, and he can't talk nonsense outside, let alone let others talk nonsense.

On the other hand, Fan Dongcheng was confident. He glanced at Shen Yi lightly, and then sneered: "Whether the Ma family gets rich or not doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, Shen Qi? Why, the price of food has risen and you can't afford to eat? Still want your horse?" Senior brother reward you some silver coins for dinner?"

Facing Fan Dongcheng's ridicule, Shen Qilang didn't change his face, he still smiled and said: "The price of food has risen a bit, but I haven't reached the point where I can't afford food, so don't bother the two senior brothers."

After saying this, Shen Qilang folded his hands in his sleeves and said calmly: "Senior brothers, you should pay more attention to yourself."

After saying this, Shen Qilang turned and left without raising his eyelids.

Seeing the back of Shen Yi leaving, Fan Dongcheng was angry, but Ma Jun was a little worried, he looked at Shen Yi's back, and said in a low voice: "Fan Shao, why is this kid talking like a god, is he going to do it?" What's wrong with us?"

"Just by him?"

Fan Dongcheng didn't have this idea at all. He sneered slightly and said: "He has no fame and no family business. What can he do to us? I have someone check the Shen family's family background. The only official in their family is his." Uncle, he is only a county magistrate, and he is thousands of miles away from Jiangdu, so it is impossible to go any further in this lifetime."

"This kind of family background may be considered good in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of my Fan family, it's not bullshit."

Speaking of this, Fan Dongcheng glanced at Ma Jun, and smiled faintly: "You don't have to be afraid, isn't that sister of yours married very well? Your family has a solid foundation. Last time, what happened to Chen Qing caused a death , did not fall on your head, a little Shen Qi, let alone do anything to you and me."

The Ma family's success in the business field was naturally not as simple as a businessman. Ma Yuanwai relied on his sister to marry a good family, and after finding a backer, he gradually changed from a landlord to a businessman.

Because the Ma family has become richer and richer these years, they embraced a new thigh. Ma Jun's eldest sister married the son of a member of the household department in Beijing two years ago. , can be regarded as climbing a high branch.

The Ma family started to get involved in the medicinal material industry in the past two years. It is precisely because of this Yuanwailang's relationship that they can open a way in the medicinal material industry and start slowly.

It was also because of the Ma family's relationship in the officialdom that Ma Jun was qualified to have a relationship with a family of eunuchs like Fan Dongcheng, and was able to escape the case of Chen Qing.

Hearing Fan Dongcheng's words, Ma Jun felt a lot more at ease. He turned his head to look at Fan Dongcheng, and said, "What Fan Shao said is that Shen Qi is nothing to worry about. It's just the matter of Chen Qing last time. Junior sister Lu must have treated Fan Dongcheng. There is less misunderstanding, next time Fan Shao wants to get close to Junior Sister Lu, I'm afraid..."

"It can only be taken slowly."

Fan Dongcheng said in a low voice: "The strong girl is afraid of pestering her husband. She is now at the age of spring. With Chen Qing's matter first, no one in the academy dares to make things difficult for us. After a long time, there is still a chance..."

Fan Dongcheng and Ma Jun walked into the academy while talking, because they are still students of the academy, the porter of the academy didn't stop them and let them enter the academy.

………………

After that, for several days, Shen Yi did not leave the academy to go to the city again. On the one hand, it was because of guarding against Fan Dongcheng and the others, and on the other hand, it was also because the weather was too hot, and Shen Yi himself was reluctant to go out.

But he spent money. Although he didn't want to go out, every day Tian Boping sent some information about Jiangdu's grain market, either by himself or by someone, and almost never stopped.

After all, this man in the rivers and lakes felt that he was doing things for Mr. Lu, so he was really full of energy.

On the fourth day, due to the light rain last night, the weather became slightly cooler. This afternoon, Tian Boping personally came to send information to Shen Yi again.

Shen Yi saw Tian Boping at the gate of the academy, and dragged him to the Qizi Pavilion to talk.

Tian Boping first cupped his hands to Shen Yi, and then said in a low voice to Shen Yi: "My lord, the price of grain in the city today is about the same as yesterday. I have inquired, the cheapest one is ten renminbi and three jin, but it only sold for an hour before it was sold out, and the polished rice of some grain stores has already sold for more than eight renminbi..."

Shen Yi lowered his head, thoughtful.

The original grain price in Jiangdu was stable, ranging from one and a half to two pennies per catty of rice, but after the price increase this time, the price of grain rose sharply, and the prices of other industries also began to increase. In less than ten days, food prices have at least tripled, or even more than tripled.

The price rise in other industries is also very obvious.

"It's about time..."

Shen Yi said to himself in his heart.

After being silent for a while, he smiled slightly at Tian Boping in front of him: "Brother Tian, ​​I'm going into the city today, so it's not convenient for me to go with you?"

Shen Yi didn't go out these few days because he was afraid that Fan Dongcheng and the others would find someone to block him. With Tian Boping around, his safety could be more or less guaranteed.

"Convenient, of course it is convenient."

Tian Boping looked at Shen Yi and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Shen is doing in the city? Do you want to go home and have a look?"

"Well, I want to go home."

In this way, Shen Yi first went to say hello to his husband, then left the academy with Tian Boping and returned to Jiangdu City.

Not long after entering the city, Tian Boping noticed something was wrong, and he whispered to Shen Yi: "Master, it seems that someone is staring at you..."

Shen Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he lowered his eyebrows and said: "Don't worry about them, let's go around."

Tian Boping could barely be regarded as one of the local local snakes in Jiangdu. Hearing this, he nodded quickly, took Shen Yi around the alley for a few times, and then shook off the people who were watching him. Before he said goodbye to Shen Yi, he said: "Young master, follow you I seem to know those two people, I will ask them tomorrow to find out who told them to keep an eye on Young Master."

This sentence surprised Shen Yi a little. He originally thought that Tian Boping was an ordinary gangster, but he did not expect that he actually had some connections.

So Shen Qilang nodded and said: "Brother Lao Tian is here."

Tian Boping patted his chest and went.

And Shen Yi, after going out of the alley, walked around the city twice, and finally saw a nest of beggars in a somewhat dilapidated alley.

To be exact, it was five or six children in their [-]s and [-]s.

In this era, it is normal to have such beggars, not surprising at all, not only in Jiang, but also in the capital.

Shen Yi observed these children for a while, then ran to a steamed bun shop outside and bought a whole basket of steamed buns.

White flour steamed buns.

In order to prevent them from choking to death, Shen Yi also poured a large jar of cold water in the bun shop.

Soon, Shen Yi returned to the alley, and under the attraction of the steamed buns, five or six beggars were attracted to him.

Shen Yi didn't dislike their dirtyness, and sat on the ground with these children. There were six children in total, five boys and one girl.

Shen Yi smiled as he shared the steamed buns.

"Kids, do you know how to read?"

It was the first time for the six people to hear the term "little friend". After eating a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, they all shook their heads in unison: "I don't know how to read."

Shen Yi was not discouraged, and still smiled kindly: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to read, I will teach you to sing a catchy song, and when you are free, go out and sing, how about it?"
