Time travel is not a slave

Chapter 24 New Year's Eve
Folding the letter carefully and putting it in the envelope, Shen Shiyi put the finished letter into the fire and let it ignite, as if he wanted to let his grandmother know.

As the only son of his grandmother Xie, Shen Zhaokun vaguely knew that his mother was from a family of officials in Kyoto. This time he went to the countryside to visit relatives and directly transferred to Kyoto. Secret expectations.

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that Shen Zhaokun, who lives in Kyoto, took his family to the largest temple in Kyoto to offer incense and pray for blessings on the first and fifteenth day of each month. One day, he happened to meet Mrs. Xie's family. He brought his two daughters, A son came forward to meet him in a daze, saying that he seemed to see his dead mother, and his heart was agitated for a moment, which was unbearable.

Next, under the watchful eyes of everyone, is the part of confessing relatives with tears.

In the letter, Shen Zhaokun described excitedly that he was brought up by his mother since he was a child, and he knew that his mother's bearing and background were extraordinary, but he did not expect that he was from the Xie Mansion in Kyoto? !
Shen Zhaokun's surprise almost overflowed the paper. He only wrote two pages for his daughter, most of which were describing the extraordinaryness of the Xie family, saying that the Xie family had been officials for generations and was quite famous even in the capital. Grandmother's mother-in-law, although she is over sixty years old, is in good health. She also wrote a sentence of pity for her mother's early death. He has a high position and authority, and he still misses his mother, Shen Shiyi's grandmother, but Shen Zhaokun didn't mention why his grandmother cut off contact with Xie's family.They only said that Xie Shangshu left them in the capital, Shen Conghuan is now at the age of Kaimeng, and according to the tradition of the Shen family, he should enroll in the clan school.He also said that Xie's family studies are quite famous in the capital, and he has been promising since Huan and Hegai, so he recognized Xie's family at the most suitable age.

It is not difficult to see from the letter that he was stunned by the huge surprise, and he was already reluctant to leave. He even rejoiced in the letter that his mother found an honest relative in the clan, and opened the Shen family silk and satin shop in his name. How far-sighted, he is still a good citizen, the Xie family has promised to find him a junior official background, and in the future, the Shen family will change their families starting from him.

At the end of the letter, she told Shen Shiyi that his Shen family was supposed to be an official, and naturally he wouldn't want to touch those lowly businessmen again, and asked her to sell the Shen family's silk and satin shop and go to Beijing with the banknotes.

He also told Shen Shiyi that Shen's silk and satin shop is considered a time-honored brand, and if the price is less than 5000 taels, don't make a move. He is in the capital, waiting for Shen Shiyi to bring the bank note to the capital.

Shen Shiyi held the letter, a little dumbfounded.

The Shen family silk and satin shop she had been thinking about was now abandoned by her father like a shoe, and she didn't have to worry about her father coming back and taking the shop from her.In the current situation, Shen Zhaokun suffered setbacks in business and was fascinated by the noble and honorable life enjoyed by the officials. In a short time, he probably would not go to Tianjin again.

After all, in this era, apart from the royal family, who can be more honored than officials and eunuchs?Shen Zhaokun's "strive for the top" and his eagerness to get rid of his identity as a merchant are beyond reproach.

After thinking about it, Shen Shiyi took up a pen and wrote back to her father. She first told about the fact that her grandmother gave Xie's family a huge annual gift every year, and then warned her father that although the relatives are good, if they don't have their own property, wouldn't they be degrading in the eyes of others?Now under the guidance of her grandmother, she can barely maintain the business of the Shen family's silk and satin shop. In the future, her father will not have to worry about the new year's gifts. She will follow her grandmother's usual practice and give them on time. It is difficult to be a human being in the Xie family.After her father is in Xie's house and establishes a foothold in the capital, he can find a chance to take her to the capital.

In the letter, Shen Shiyi felt like a daughter, and believed that someone with Shen Zhaokun's ego would agree with Shen Shiyi's arrangement.

Now, Shen Shiyi already knew that the Shen family silk and satin shop was not under his father's name, and as long as next year passed, Shen Shiyi would be sure to operate the Shen family silk and satin shop under his own name.

Since grandma can start the Shen family silk and satin shop in the name of her family members, she, Shen Shiyi, can also use someone else's name to get rid of her father's clutches.

Shen Shiyi thought of Shishi. If she operated the Shen family's silk and satin shop under Shi Shi's name, she would have nothing to do with the Shen family on the surface. In this way, even if her father ordered Shen Shiyi to hand over the silk and satin shop, Shen Shiyi could spread his hands , indicating that nothing can be done.I only need to make a contract with Shi Shi in private, and this matter can be foolproof.

Thinking of this, Shen Shiyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She didn't expect that her father, who was always proud at home, would bow down under the fame of Xie's family in Kyoto.If the grandmother knew that the son she brought up was so eager for the place where she was born, she didn't know how she would feel.

Shen Shiyi had a plan in mind, so he rubbed his eyes, lay down on the bed, in a daze, and couldn't help but wonder, why did grandma have a conflict with Xie's family in the first place?
Early the next morning, Shen Shiyi sent the letter first before going to the shop.

"Boss, why did you come so early? Why don't you come to the shop until after the end of the day, and it's only now, there is still more than an hour, why don't you sleep more?"

Shi Shi was instructing three shop assistants to work in the shop to replenish some goods from the shop that had been sold short yesterday, when he saw Shen Shiyi driving a carriage, he hurriedly stepped forward and said.

Shen Shiyi waved his hand, "Some things, leave it to the buddy here, you come with me."

When the stone sees sinking, it should be correct.They also became serious, and the two went to the warehouse in the backyard together, and opened an empty room in the center, where all the treasures Shen Shiyi exchanged from outside the pass were placed.The ordinary ones, of course, compared to the already good ones on the market, she had already shipped them all to other shopkeepers, and what remained were all good things that Shen Shiyi was reluctant to sell.

"Pack up this ginseng, these two furs, and these dry goods, and the rest...forget it, let's give it as cash."

Shen Shiyi endured his heartache, and packed the best-selling wild ginseng in the warehouse, as well as two rare furs, and some dry goods that were rarely seen in the market, and sealed them together.

Shitou looked at Miss Er's distressed appearance while reluctantly parting with love, didn't ask too much, and just packed it according to Miss Er's instructions.

"Go to the bank and exchange some silver ingots. Together with these goods, find a big shipping company at the pier and send them to Xie's house in Kyoto."

Shen Shiyi knew that, no matter what, this year's gifts should not be thin, and she wanted to use these gifts to make her father look better and let him know that she was still useful in Jinmen.When she successfully transfers the ownership of the shop next year, the money will not be lost to my father. Didn't he ask for 5000 taels?Give it all to him.From then on, Shen Zhaokun had nothing to do with Shen's silk and satin village.
