marquis of jingan

Chapter 395
"Um…"

Xu Fu sat opposite to Shen Yi, nodded silently and said: "My lord, after you returned to Jiangdu, Your Majesty has seen Mr. Gu quite a few times, probably more than ten times..."

"That…"

Shen Yi thought for a while, and said: "Then Gao Ming probably won't take the money you earn as a special offering for the palace, and he can't spend it on his own if he doesn't want you. Try to spend the money on everyone Gu. In the future... "

Shen Yi looked at Xu Fu, and said in a low voice: "One day in the future, if everyone can enter the palace, Xiao Xu, you can be regarded as her natal family, but..."

"There is something I want to remind you."

Xu Fu bowed his head: "Young Master, please."

"Business in the palace is not easy to do. If one day, His Majesty no longer likes to listen to music, Eunuch Gao is not willing to talk to you. At that time, no matter how much money the palace business earns you, you must take the initiative decisively. Give up and get out of the way."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi looked at Xu Fu, and continued: "But at that time, it's hard to say whether you can overcome the desire in your heart."

The situation is obvious.

His Majesty the Emperor did not know why, but fell in love with this Qinhuai prostitute, and asked Xu Fu to do business in the palace, not because Xu Fu was a clever "nephew", but because he wanted to send some money to Xu Fu, so that Xu Fu raised the pipa master for the palace.

"Xu Fu has never violated a word of what the young master said."

Xu Fu bowed his head respectfully and said: "The agreement I made with the young master before will always count. No matter how much money I earn, it will be half of the young master's."

After saying this, he got up and bowed deeply to Shen Yi, then took his leave and left.

Shen Yi sighed, sent him to the door of the house, and then watched the somewhat thin figure disappear into the night.

At this moment, Shen Yi felt a little complicated.

According to his previous thinking, he trained Xu Fu to train himself as an "agent" to help him earn some money reasonably, but now, Xu Fu has only been in Jiankang for less than two years, because of a Series coincidence, and "solo" too.

Shen Yi didn't have any objection to Xu Fu's starting anew, after all, he wanted to make money.You can train a few more agents at any time, if you can't, you can let Shen Ling end directly. What makes him feel a little uncomfortable is that this person Xu Fu...

He was brought into the vortex.

Being a "supplier" for the palace is of course making money, but huge benefits also mean huge risks. Besides, Xu Fu may be bound to Gu Hengbo and Gao Ming in the future, regardless of whether it is Gao Ming or not. The eunuch, or Gu Hengbo, the emperor's mistress, is actually in a very unstable position.

Everything they do is based on the emperor's favor.

Once they lost the emperor's family, these two people would immediately lose everything, and when this happened, those clever political opponents would pounce on them and tear Xu Fu to pieces.

But for all of this, Shen Yi can only watch it evolve slowly, there is no other way.

After standing blankly at the door for a while, Shen Yi was not in the mood to go to the study any more, so he went back to the bedroom and fell asleep with his wife in his arms.

Early the next morning, although the weather was very cold, Shen Yi got up early, and in a daze asked two maids to wait for him to change into his official uniform.

Because... the long marriage leave plus annual holiday is finally over, starting today, Master Shen will go back to the yamen to start work.

After changing into the official uniform, Shen Yi went all the way to the imperial city. He didn't delay, and first reported to the Hanlin Academy. A good ink stick on the root.

Shen Yi bought the inkstone from Huangshizhai almost for free, because Huangshizhai has half of his dry stock, and Huangshi inkstone is something that has been hyped up, so the premium is actually very high, selling for 200 taels The cost of an inkstone may be only a dozen or 20 taels of silver.

The reason why the cost is so high is because since we want to go to the "high-end market", the quality cannot be vague, otherwise no matter how much we hype the marketing, there is no way to get the brand up.

Up to now, Huangshizhai has basically become the "standard equipment" for Shen Yi to give gifts, but he has basically given away all the gifts around him. Now when he goes to see Zhao Changping and others, he can't give Huangshi inkstone, but I want to send ink sticks or brushes or something like that.

However, for people like Chen Xueshi who have never given it away, the Huangshi inkstone is still very useful. After all, he is a pen holder of the Imperial Academy, and things like inkstones, ink sticks and brushes are just what he needs.

With Chen Xueshi's thigh, Shen Yi from the Hanlin Academy passed the test smoothly. He didn't even have to take the Imperial Academy exams, so he was released from the Imperial Academy by Chen Xueshi and returned to the Dibao Division.

After returning to the Dibaosi, Master Shen, who still pretended to be a grandson in the Imperial Academy, suddenly turned into an uncle.

After all, Di Baosi is his home field, so it's fine if he doesn't point out others, and no one can control him.

Without Mr. Shen's newspaper office, all the work went smoothly. Sun Jin, the eunuch from the palace, worked hard and conscientiously, and managed the newspaper office in an orderly manner.

This made Shen Yi somewhat guilty.

It has been several months since he left Dibaosi, which can completely prove that it doesn't make any difference whether or not he is in the yamen of Dibaosi.

After spending a whole morning fishing in the mansion's office, he took a comfortable nap in the public house. In the afternoon, the eunuch Sun Jin knocked on the door.

Master Shen threw aside the miscellaneous books in his hand, then coughed: "Come in."

Eunuch Sun opened the door and walked in, came to Shen Yi, lowered his head slightly and said: "Sizheng, Eunuch Gao sent someone to pass a message, saying that His Majesty has something to call for you."

Hearing the emperor's summoning, Shen Yi's face immediately became serious, he sat up straight, and asked, "When?"

Sun Jin bowed his head and said, "Shen Shi, see you at the Ganlu Palace."

Shen Yi looked at the sky, it was not time yet, and there was still a while before Shen Shi.

He nodded silently and said, "Trouble Eunuch Sun, I understand."

Sun Jin bowed his head again and backed away.

After Eunuch Sun left, Shen Yi got up and tidied up his official uniform that was wrinkled from taking a nap. He didn't dare to neglect, and set off directly into the palace.

It was probably because someone in the palace gave the word. After the people at the gate of the palace heard Shen Yi's name, they immediately let him in. Not only that, but a little eunuch also came and took him all the way to the gate of Ganlu Palace.

In this way, Shen Yi waited outside the Ganlu Hall until the third quarter of Shen Shi before someone came and led him into the Ganlu Hall. After walking in the Ganlu Hall for a while, he arrived at the emperor's study.

In the study, His Majesty the Emperor was sitting behind the imperial table, flipping through the documents.

The great eunuch Gao Ming stood behind him.

Shen Yi approached, knelt down and saluted and said, "Reporter Shen Yi, please greet Your Majesty."

The emperor then put down the document in his hand, without raising his head, he said, "Get up and answer."

When Shen Yi stood up, the emperor looked up at him, and then a faint smile appeared on his face: "I heard from Gao Ming that Shen Qing returned home to get married at the end of last year."

"I congratulate you."

Shen Yi bowed his head and said: "Thank you Your Majesty, my humble minister is terrified."

The emperor smiled, did not speak to Shen Yi, but turned his head to look at Gao Ming, and said, "Give Shen Qing a seat."

Shen Yi sat down carefully.

The emperor thought for a while, and then said: "Your article on Japanese pirates is very well written."

"Is there anything, about the Japanese pirates' thoughts, let me hear it?"
