marquis of jingan

Chapter 936

This meal can be said to be a feast for the guests and the host.

These officials and gentlemen in Jiangdu were able to invite Shen Yi, a promising Jiangdu native, to dinner, and since then they have made some connections, so they are naturally very happy.

As for Shen Yi, he had achieved his goal, and made a good face for Shen Ling in front of these Jiangdu officials.

Those who can be officials in the officialdom, of course, are not some stunned young people. Shen Shilang took his cousin to dinner, and these Jiangdu officials naturally knew the elegance.

From now on, even if Shen Yi is not in Jiangdu, Shen Ling can still represent a part of Shen Yi. No matter what he does or says, the officials in Jiangdu will more or less give him some face.

In other words, it was to give Shen Yi behind him some face.

This kind of thing is tacitly understood by everyone, and there is nothing to say.

After finishing the meal, it was already afternoon. Shen Yi took Shen Ling and left Taibai Tower together. The two brothers walked side by side on the streets of Jiangdu. Shen Yi turned to look at Shen Ling, and said with a smile: "Third Brother , from now on, when you are in Jiangdu, many things will be much easier to handle, but it depends on you whether the family affairs are under your control."

Master Shen said slowly: "From today onwards, when it's time to speak, third brother, you have to speak, and your voice should be louder. If you don't fight for these things yourself, no one can really hand them over to you."

"I can't do it either."

Shen Ling was a little distressed: "Then do you want me to fight with my father?"

"A family has a son, and its family is invincible."

Shen Yi patted Shen Ling's back, and said softly: "Whether the Shen family can last long depends not only on me and Zichang, but also on you, third brother."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi paused, and then said: "Third brother, you also know that I was almost killed by Fan Dongcheng at the beginning, and I must not allow the Shen family in Jiangdu to indulge a Shen Dongcheng in the future, so you have to go to the family affairs Tube."

"If you can't control it, the Shen family will die in the future."

Master Shen sighed: "After that, there will only be two Shen families."

Shen Ling nodded thoughtfully, "I have written down what Lao Qi said."

Shen Yi nodded, cupped his hands towards Shen Ling, and said, "Third brother, I'm going to the academy to visit my father-in-law."

"Go back first and tell my father for me that we will leave for Jiankang tomorrow morning."

Shen Ling hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lao Qi, I will go to Jiankang with you tomorrow."

Shen Yi looked at Shen Ling quietly, without speaking.

Shen Ling lowered his eyebrows and said: "In a blink of an eye, Xiao Jiu is going to get married, and they are both brothers of my own family. Regardless of whether my father will go or not, I will always go."

Shen Yi smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go together tomorrow."

In this way, the two brothers separated, Shen Ling returned to Shen's house, while Shen Yi rode out of Jiangdu City, all the way to the gate of Ganquan Academy.

When he arrived at the academy, Shen Shilang was about to keep a low profile. He tied the horse at the door, then went to the door of the academy himself, and knocked on the door.

After notifying his identity, Shen Yi was quickly invited in.

He has studied here for several years, so he is naturally familiar with the way. After entering the academy, he skillfully touched Master Lu's residence in Houshan. After confirming that the old father-in-law was here, he came to the door of the study and knocked gently on the door.

"Teacher, the students see you coming."

Soon, the door opened.

Master Lu looked at his son-in-law through reading glasses. The always mature and prudent Master Lu also pulled Shen Yi's sleeve with some excitement, and pulled him into the room.

After Shen Yi went in, he looked at the reading glasses held in Mrs. Lu's hand, and said with a smile, "Master, when did you get these glasses? They look very delicate."

Master Lu watched Shen Yi sit down, and then said: "Qingque entrusted someone to send it to me. Qingque sent a letter saying that it was a new thing made by Liulichang in Jiankang, so I can see things clearly."

The little old man handed the single-lens flower mirror to Shen Yi for a look, and then said: "I used it recently, and it really works well."

Speaking of this, the old man shook his head slightly, and said with emotion: "There are a lot of novelties now, some of which I, an old man, can't even understand."

Now, Liulichang has basically mastered all the glass manufacturing skills, so it has also played a lot of new tricks. For example, these reading glasses, although the prescription may not be very accurate, but for some elderly people who use their eyes all the year round, it is already It helps a lot.

Speaking of which, the little old man put his eyes on Shen Yi, with a smile on his face: "When did Ziheng return to Jiankang, and when did he come to Jiangdu?"

"Jiankang who just arrived the day before yesterday, and Jiangdu who arrived yesterday evening."

Master Shen got up, poured a cup of hot tea for the old man, and said with a smile: "Come to pick you up to go back to Jiankang for the New Year."

Master Lu glanced at Shen Yi.

"I'm already a third-rank servant, why aren't you serious? Tell the truth."

"The students really came to pick you up to celebrate the New Year in Jiankang. The main reason is that Qingque misses you, and your grandson often misses you too."

Hearing Shen Yi mentioning Shen Yuan, Master Lu stroked his beard. After thinking for a while, he still shook his head slightly: "The Chinese New Year will be in a few days. At my age, I can't bear the bumps anymore. I'll wait until next year's spring, and I will go there again." Go to Jiankang to see Yuan'er and little Sangsang."

After saying this, he looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Okay, Ziheng, tell the truth, why are you rushing back to Jiangdu in such a hurry?"

"Something happened at home."

Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "The students are forced to come back to deal with it, otherwise Zichang's marriage will not go well, and the hidden dangers of the Shen family will not be eliminated. In the future, students will have worries when they lead troops abroad."

"so serious?"

Master Lu sat down and said quietly, "Let's listen."

Shen Yi roughly told his father-in-law about the ins and outs of the matter, and then saw that Mrs. Lu had finished his tea, he refilled another cup, and sighed helplessly: "Uncle, if you want to say it's bad, it's really talking about it." No, it's just that he has been a petty official for many years, making him a philistine, this kind of philistine is not necessarily a bad thing when the Shen family is young, but as the Shen family grows bigger, it will become a hidden danger."

"The students really can't bear it. The Shen family will become the next Fan family in the future, so they have to come back and take care of it. Even if they offend others, they must try their best to correct the Shen family."

Hearing this, Master Lu thought about it for a while, then shook his head slightly and said, "Zi Heng, you're still thinking simply, you are only so old now, and you are already the Minister of the Ministry of War."

"Your military newspaper on the front line is often read as a teacher. Now the battle is going well and the momentum is very strong."

"One day in the future, not to mention taking down Yandu, even if you only take back one or two provinces, your status in the court will be comparable to that of Zaifu."

"How can the Shen family today compare to the Fan family back then?"

Master Lu smiled and said, "If you're not careful, the Jiangdu Shen family will become the next Yang family."

Shen Yi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly and did not speak.

Master Lu glanced at his son-in-law, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that you can come back and take care of the Shen family now. Your third elder brother has also met him as a teacher, and he is quite an upright person. With him here, the Shen family's It won't be too bad."

Speaking of this, Master Lu paused, and asked, "Are the two people recommended to you by my teacher still worth using?"

"Mr. Song Heng Song is very good."

Shen Yi replied: "He is proficient in spells, whether it is now or in the future, it will be of great use."

"As for Mr. Li Zhunli..."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said, "It's hard to say whether it will be useful or not, and how useful it will be."

Master Lu nodded silently.

"Jiangdu Prefecture has outstanding people, and there are many others. If you are still short of manpower, write a letter to Teacher Wei."

Shen Yi nodded first, and then said with a smile: "It's not good to have too many people, otherwise if it spreads to Jiankang, people will think they are students, and they will open their own houses and sit in court."

Master Lu looked a little complicated.

"If things go on like this, Ziheng will have such a day sooner or later."

"This is also the big problem you will face in the future."

Shen Yi sat down and rubbed his temples.

"Anyway, what to do."

"Students have to do it after all."
