Chapter 368 Pity the world's parents heart
This time when he came to Zhao's house, Shen Yi didn't come to bid farewell to Zhao Changping, but to inform his uncle and prepare to do something.

Because of the matter of Yan Mingli back then, the Minister of the Household Department held back his anger towards the Fan family and Fan Chu, even when facing Fan Chu asking for a meeting, he didn't even give him the most basic face, and he didn't even meet him.

Now that he got the documents collected by Shen Yi, he naturally wouldn't say anything else.

With Zhao Shangshu as the guarantee in Jiankang, Shen Yi will be able to do whatever he wants to do in Jiangdu, so the next morning, Shen Yi took the family who had packed their things and set foot on the road back to their hometown.

Going home this time, Shen Yi hired two carriages, but he didn't hire a martial artist to escort him along the way like before.

Because it is not necessary.

After the Jiming Temple incident last time, Shen Yi knew very well that there was always a team of inner guards secretly protecting him. These inner guards are all good hands, and they don't need too many people. As long as there are five, six, seven or eight people, Even if you encounter a dozen or twenty bandits and bandits, you can easily deal with them.

Both Gyeonggi and Jiankang are big cities, and there may be some thieves and thieves secretly poking between the two cities, but there are no large-scale stockades, so it is very safe.

When Shen Yi's family left Jiankang, Zhao Er and Zhao Jizhou saw them off on horseback all the way to Shiliting, Zhao Er returned to his horse and left, and said with a smile that he would be there when Shen Yi got married.

Apart from Zhao Jizhou, there was also a somewhat thin young man named Ding Man who saw him off.

After Ding Man delivered it to Shiliting, he bowed his hands to Shen Yi who got off the carriage and said, "My lord, I will also send it here on behalf of the eldest brother."

As he said that, he took out a redemption ticket from his sleeve, handed it to Shen Yi, and said, "Young master, this is what my elder brother asked me to hand over to you. There is also a money shop in Jiangdu. You can take it in Jiangdu. It can also be exchanged."

Shen Yi took it over and looked at it. It was an exchange ticket for 1 taels of silver.

The money shop that issues tickets is Huitong Money Shop. This money shop is one of the few money shops in the world. Although it does not have a national chain, it has shops in some big cities, which can be regarded as a breakthrough in the industry of money shops. regional restrictions.

There are rumors that Huitong Bank's bills can be redeemed even in Yandu.

However, because of its good liquidity, the "custodial fee" charged is relatively high. It is estimated that 1 taels of silver will cost 400 taels.

Shen Yi glanced at the redemption ticket, and smiled dumbly: "I didn't ask him for money, why did you send it?"

"Brother said, the young master is getting married soon, and he needs money inside and out. Originally, he should go back to Jiangdu to help the young master, but..."

After Xu Fu became the "nephew" of Gao eunuch, he met Shen Yi less often, especially now that Xu Fu has gradually become a "little celebrity" in the circle of Jiankang businessmen, and it is even more inconvenient to talk to Shen Yi. Shen Yi met.

In his own words, he was afraid of tarnishing Shen Yi's reputation.

Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, reached out and took the redemption ticket, put it in his sleeve, and said: "Okay, I will accept the money for the time being, and if you have money there, ask me for it."

"Need not…"

Ding Man smiled at Shen Yi, and said: "Master, you may not know that the shop in Penpot Lane is making a lot of money. Big brother is not short of money now, but there are many people looking for him to do business together. Some businesses are just like It’s like giving us money for free, so the elder brother sometimes can’t make up his mind.”

"It's not for Xiao Xu, but for Eunuch Gao's nephew."

Shen Yi smiled at Ding Man and said: "Before the relationship with Eunuch Gao reaches a certain level, you need to think carefully about it. You should tell Xiao Xu that you must do what you can. If others cooperate with him, there must be something for him to do. He asks ahead of time what other people are going to do."

"He feels that he has the ability to handle it, and then he will take other people's money and do other people's business."

Ding Man bowed to Shen Yi and said, "Yes, son, I will tell my elder brother."

"Okay, it's getting late, we have to hurry."

Shen Yi reached out and patted Ding Man's shoulder.

"Go back quickly, so I can help Xiao Xu with things."

Timon nodded quickly, turned around and rode away on his horse.

After Ding Man left, Shen Yi returned to his carriage, took out the redemption ticket in his hand, and thought about it.

Qing'er was sitting next to him, pinching his legs lightly, and said with a smile: "Little brother Xu is really generous, giving you such a big gift."

Shen Yi put away the exchange bill, and said with a smile: "Your son will split the bill fifty-fifty with him, it might be my own money."

Qing'er smiled: "If you split the bill fifty-fifty, you should make an agreement and send an accountant there. How can you split the bill fifty-fifty like you?"

"If brother Xu doesn't recognize me, then we have nothing left?"

Shen Yi smiled lightly: "Xiao Xu's character, at least within a few years, shouldn't do such a thing. If he really does it after a few years, it's his own choice."

"What kind of agreement is really made, and those people in the court can't say that I have a private shop and compete with the people for profit?"

Master Shen stretched his waist, and said lazily: "Besides, as long as your young master stands high enough and stable enough in the court hall, it will be much more useful than making any contract."

The Shen family's carriage traveled farther and farther on the official road, slowly left Jiankang, and headed straight for Jiangdu.

………………

Because Shen Yi and Shen Ling brothers are both homesick, so they spend a lot of time on the road every day. The three carriages arrived at the city of Jiangdu on the afternoon of the third day after everyone set off, that is, November [-]th of the seventh year of Hongde.

The day I arrived in Jiangdu was cloudy with a little rain, and it was already deep winter, so the weather was quite cold.

Before the carriage of Shen Yi and others arrived at Jiangdu City, they heard a voice from outside: "Is it Shen Hanlin, Master Shen?"

This voice is the standard Jiangdu dialect.

Hearing the words, the two maids lifted the curtain of the car and went out to take a look, then shrank back. Ping'er whispered to Shen Yi, "My lord, he is a tall, thin man in his forties, not from our Shen family..."

Another maid, Qing'er, also whispered: "Look at the attire, she is not from the academy."

Shen Yi lifted the curtain of the car, glanced at the middle-aged man outside, frowned slightly and asked, "I'm Shen Yi, is your Excellency?"

The middle-aged man immediately stepped forward, braved the light rain, and bowed to Shen Yi: "Master Hanlin, the younger one is the butler of the Fan family. My master knows that Master Hanlin is coming back today, so he specially prepared a small gift to welcome him."

"My master is right under the next pavilion, please get off the car and see Master Hanlin."

It was raining lightly at the moment, and although the butler was holding an umbrella, many places on his body were already wet.

Shen Yi frowned, thoughtful.

It was the Fan family who came to test his attitude.

Shen Yi thought for a while on the carriage, and then frowned.

You can't let the grass startle the snake, and you can't let them jump the wall in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi got out of the carriage, with a standard smile on his face, and asked: "Since it is Master Fan, please lead the way."

The butler of the Fan family was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly bowed to Shen Yi, then came over to hold an umbrella for Shen Yi, and led Shen Yi to a somewhat crude pavilion next to him.

This pavilion only shelters from the rain but not the wind. At this moment, an old man with white hair was blown under the pavilion quite embarrassingly.

It was the head of the Fan family, the well-known Master Fan in Jiangdu City.

Shen Yi stepped forward, arched his hands lightly, but did not bend down.

"Shen Yi, the late student, met Master Fan."

Master Fan got up quickly, straightened the wrinkles on his clothes, bowed slightly, and returned the salute with his hands clasped.

"Mr. Hanlin is too polite."

At this moment, Master Fan not only looked embarrassed, but also showed a sense of caution between his brows.

This well-known squire in Jiangdu, Master Fan, who was ignored by the magistrates of the county, now appeared a little humble in front of Shen Yi.

Seeing this, Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Pity the parents of the world.
