Chapter 450 Convincing Two People

Shen Yi is now holding the gift he bought in his right hand and two pieces of cloth in his left hand. He looks like a businessman who is doing business outside and bringing gifts home.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of Shen's house, he bumped into the maid Qing'er head-on.

After Qing'er looked up and saw Shen Yi, she was stunned for a moment, and then she cried out in surprise, her voice broke.

"Sir!?"

Qing'er was surprised and delighted, ran up in two or three steps, and directly grabbed Shen Yi's right arm.

"Master, you are finally back!"

Shen Yi made a silent gesture to signal her not to speak loudly, and then he asked in a low voice, "Is Madam at home?"

"At home, it's in the backyard."

Qing'er said in a low voice: "Jiankang is very hot this summer, fortunately little brother Xu sent a lot of ice cubes, otherwise it would be really difficult, Madam can't stand it, now I'm in the backyard with Lian'er Enjoy the cool."

Speaking of this, Qing'er reached out to take the things in Shen Yi's hand, and said with a smile: "I will keep these things for the young master, the young master should go and see the madam, I haven't seen you for several months, the madam misses the young master very much."

Shen Yi nodded, handed the things in his hand to Qing'er, and then quietly came to the backyard by himself.

At this moment, under a gazebo in the backyard, Lu Ruoxi, who was already pregnant, was sitting under the gazebo, playing Go with Shen Yi's third sister-in-law. Master Shen lowered his head, straightened his wrinkled clothes, and then walked over.

At this moment, Lu Ruoxi's back was facing him.

As for Mrs. Shen, she saw Shen Yi approaching. The sister-in-law who took care of Shen Yi put down the white chess in her hand with a smile, then stood up, and said with a smile to Shen Yi: "What a coincidence, Qilang If I don't come back, I will lose this game."

Lu Ruoxi raised her head to look at Mrs. Shen, and said with some reproach: "Why does the third sister-in-law want to play tricks again? If she doesn't, she won't. Why are you teasing him?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice behind her that was so familiar that she couldn't be more familiar with it.

"Meet the third sister-in-law."

Mrs. Shen glanced at Lu Ruoxi with a smile, then walked towards Shen Yi, smiled at Shen Yi and said, "You guys chat first, the third sister-in-law will prepare something delicious for you."

As she said that, she glanced at Shen Yi, feeling a little distressed: "Going out for a few months, look at our family's eldest son, who has been exposed to the sun, and has two honorable scholars, making him look like a warrior who fought in war."

After saying this, she walked away and said, "Sister-in-law San, go and get some Jiangdu dishes for you. You probably won't be able to taste our Jiangdu dishes after you've been away for so long."

After all, she gradually walked away.

And Lian'er, who was standing beside Lu Ruoxi, turned her head to look at her uncle, and lowered her head knowingly: "Miss, uncle, I still have something to do, I have to get busy..."

After all, she left in a flash.

Lu Ruoxi supported the table with her hand, and then slowly stood up from the stool. When she turned her head to look at Shen Yi, tears were streaming down her face.

Her voice was choked with sobs.

"If you want to come back, why don't you write a letter to tell me?"

Shen Yi stepped forward, put his arms around her lightly, and said softly: "I came back quickly, and when I delivered the letter, I probably arrived as well, so I didn't write the letter."

Lu Ruoxi put her arms around Shen Yi's waist, tears welling up.

"Are you still going?"

Shen Yi sighed slightly: "I don't know either."

He turned his gaze to the imperial city, and said in a low voice, "I'll find out in a while."

…………

Because Shen Yi was summoned by the emperor, after returning, he had to meet the emperor first.

But there was a reason for him to come home first, after all, he had to come back and change into an official uniform before going to the palace.

After being bored with the little pregnant woman at home for a while, Shen Yi, under the service of his wife, changed into the green official uniform, got into the Shen family's carriage, and walked all the way towards the imperial city.

He has the badge of the Imperial Palace, the imperial city is passable, but he cannot enter the imperial palace, so after reaching the entrance of the imperial palace, Shen Yi can only be informed, and obediently wait at the entrance of the palace, waiting for the emperor to summon him.

Emperors are very busy.

Generally, if Shen Yi wants to see the emperor, he has to wait at the gate of the palace for an hour or more. Even so, it is still his privilege in the heart of the emperor, and he will not even be able to see the emperor's face when he waits for an idle official.

But this time, the efficiency in the palace was surprisingly high. Not long after Shen Yi reported his name, he was led into the palace by a little eunuch. The little eunuch led Shen Yi all the way to the gate of Ganlu Hall, and then bowed to Shen Yi waist, turned and left.

Shen Yi didn't wait long at the entrance of Ganlu Hall, when he saw a familiar purple figure and walked over with small steps. He walked up to Shen Yi, glanced at Shen Yi, and frowned: "It's not that we will arrive in Jiankang in the afternoon What? Why are you here now, His Majesty has been waiting for you all afternoon."

Shen Yi cupped his hands at the great eunuch, called Eunuch Gao, and said with some embarrassment: "Eunuch, after returning to Jiankang, I didn't dare to delay. I just went home and changed into an official uniform, and ate in a hurry." Order something and hurry into the palace."

Gao Ming looked at Shen Yi, didn't bother to expose his lies, just turned around silently, and said lightly: "Come in with our house, if you come a little later, His Majesty will be angry with you."

Shen Yi nodded quickly, followed behind Eunuch Gao, and walked into the Ganlu Hall.

As soon as he entered the Ganlu Hall, a gust of cold air rushed towards his face, dispelling a lot of heat from Shen Yi's body.

The two of them walked in the Ganlu Hall, and soon came to a side hall. In the side hall, His Majesty the Emperor, who was wearing only ordinary clothes, was sitting on the bed. He fanned.

In fact, the Ganlu Temple is not particularly hot.

After all, it is the emperor's study, and there are enough ice cubes here. After all, the royal family has its own cellar, and most of the time the palace does not lack ice. Even if the palace lacks ice, the emperor himself will not lack it.

The two maids fanning the wind are just Jinger who should respond to Xia Tian.

After Shen Yi came in front of the emperor, he knelt down, kowtowed to the emperor and saluted: "The official of the minister's mansion is Shen Yi, and kowtows to His Majesty."

The emperor was holding a book in his hand, but after hearing Shen Yi's voice, he dismissed the two maids casually, then threw the book aside, got up and stretched, and looked at Shen Yi: "I'm not promoting you. Are you at the seventh rank? Why are you still wearing the eighth rank official uniform?"

The official uniforms of the eighth and ninth ranks are the same, but when they are promoted to the seventh rank, the uniforms are changed.

Shen Yi raised his head and replied: "I think the minister is on business abroad, and the official department has never had time to measure the clothes for the minister."

Seeing Shen Yi raised his head, the emperor glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Your trip to the south has turned a lot darker, and you look more mature than before."

After saying this, without waiting for Shen Yi to reply, he opened his mouth and said: "Shen Qing has done a good job on this errand, clever, bring Shen Qing a chair."

Eunuch Gao hurriedly moved a chair for Shen Yi, and Shen Yi cupped his hands and shook his head, saying: "It's all thanks to your majesty's blessing, and the prince is in charge, and the soldiers work hard to defeat the Japanese pirates. I just do some chores, and I don't dare to take credit for it." .”

"Okay, you and I are the same age, in front of me, there is no need to say these high-sounding empty words."

His Majesty the Emperor patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, and took a serious look at Shen Yi: "Shen Qing, you wrote a letter earlier, saying that you want to build ships and guns along the coast?"

Shen Yi was startled, and hastily lowered his head and said: "I just mentioned it casually, if your majesty doesn't like it, I just don't say it..."

The emperor shook his head.

"I've been thinking about what you said for more than a month."

"I'm still hesitating."

The emperor looked at Shen Yi with a serious expression and said, "I called you back because I want you to convince me."

"After you convince me, I will take you to convince my mother."
