Chapter 86 Shop
  capital city, royal palace

Emperor Jingwen sat behind the spacious imperial desk in the imperial study and carefully corrected the memorials. "Cuckoo" a little white pigeon flew down and stood on top of a memorial.

Fulu stood behind him and suddenly saw a little white pigeon standing on the memorial. He thought it was a white pigeon raised by a concubine in the harem, so he knelt down to apologize: "Your Majesty, forgive me! I will do this right now." Take the pigeon away.”

After Fulu finished speaking, he twisted his fat body and rushed towards Xiaobai. Xiaobai looked at Fulu with contempt and flew up with two "gugu" sounds.

Fulu chased Xiaobai, and Xiaobai seemed to be teasing Fulu. He flew to the floor and waited for him to come over, and then flew up again when he was almost approaching. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely, panting, and his clothes Messy.

Emperor Jingwen put down his imperial pen and spent his free time watching the great drama of a man and a bird chasing each other. From time to time he would comment, "Fulu, I think you should lose weight. Look at you, you are so tired after running a few steps."

Fulu sat on the floor with a grimace on his face, "Your Majesty, please stop making fun of this old slave."

Emperor Jingwen saw that he was really tired and stopped teasing him, "Which woman in the harem raised this pigeon?"

Just as Fulu was about to answer, Xiaobai stopped and quickly flew down and landed on Emperor Jingwen's arm. "Cuckoo"

Emperor Jingwen saw the note tied to Xiaobai's leg at a glance.

Emperor Jingwen was about to untie the note when Fulu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, let me come!"

Fulu was also worried that someone had poisoned the paper, so he had to check it before handing it over to the emperor.

Emperor Jingwen waved his hand, "It doesn't matter."

Emperor Jingwen opened the note. When he saw the familiar handwriting on it, doubts flashed in his eyes. The letter was not long. He read it quickly and quickly opened another letter. The fonts and strokes on it were of the same thickness and even structure. The fonts are straight and the strokes are round. After Emperor Jingwen read it, his usually calm eyes were filled with a smile.

Fulu was wondering on the sidelines. Could it be that the letter on the little white dove was sent to the emperor by the emperor's eldest grandson? Otherwise, he couldn't guess who could have such a great reputation that the emperor could look at him differently.

"Fu Lu, we checked Uncle Zhongyi a while ago. Are there two shops on East Street?"

At the end of last month, Emperor Jingwen received a memorial from Qi Xuan, the prefect of Wucheng. He also received several boxes of gold and evidence of the crime of Meng Guangtian, the magistrate of Qianyi County, and evidence of bribing Uncle Zhongyi's concubine.

Emperor Jingwen was worried that he would not have the chance to rectify the family, so Qi Xuan gave him an opportunity. How could Emperor Jingwen let go of such a good opportunity?

He immediately sent someone to secretly monitor the people in Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion. It happened that at this time, Meng Guangtian sent someone to deliver the letter that Shen Jia had dropped. After careful investigation, he found that the person who sent the letter turned out to be a fugitive. Emperor Jingwen is not polite this time. The evidence collected in the past was put together in front of Uncle Zhongyi. Uncle Zhongyi did not dare to have any objections, and knelt in front of Emperor Jingwen with tears streaming down his face, hoping to spare the lives of their family.

When Emperor Jingwen saw that he voluntarily donated his family property, he didn't hold on to him. He took back his title and confiscated all his family property except the house where he lived.

It is said that after Mrs. Zhongyi heard that the emperor had taken back his title and confiscated his family property, she praised the emperor's wisdom and clapped her hands.

On the surface, Uncle Zhongyi respected his wife, but secretly he doted on his concubine, the biological mother of the concubine who dared to be bribed by the magistrate. Zhongyi did not like his legitimate son and favored his concubine. His wife was often annoyed by the concubine.

Nowadays, the title and family property are gone, but Mrs. Zhongyi has a generous dowry, and her legitimate son is still doing well and has obtained an official position on his own, so she feels relieved when she sees this result.

Without the support of Uncle Zhongyi, the concubine is no more than a dog. How can the royal wife be unhappy?
  Fulu thought about it carefully, then stepped forward respectfully and replied: "There are two shops. You said these two shops are in good locations and have large facades. They are reserved for rewarding those who have merit in the future."

"Go and get the deed." Emperor Jingwen's voice was calm, with unquestionable majesty.

Fulu didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he bowed and said, "Yes." When Fulu came back, Emperor Jingwen had already written a small note and rolled it up. He took the paving deed from Fulu's hand, rolled it into a small piece of paper and tied it to the little white pigeon's leg, touched its feathers, "Go!"

The little white pigeon flew out of the royal study room with two "coo" sounds and flew into the sky.

Fulu felt curious, but he didn't dare to ask.

After a while, I heard Emperor Jingwen say calmly, "Xuanqing Pingbo and Chen Yanjun have entered the palace."

Beili Village

After Xiao Yichen sent the letter away to Xiaobai, he discussed the bookstore issue with Shen Jia.

Shen Jia suggested that it could be like a certain bookstore in the previous life, funded by the imperial court, first opened in the capital, and gradually expanded to various cities, counties, and towns.

In fact, Shen Jia really wanted to say that it would be best to popularize education. After all, education is the foundation of a century-old plan. The impressive achievements of the Dragon Kingdom in the previous life are obvious to all. Dazhou can also imitate the Dragon Kingdom, but after thinking about his own identity, it is really It was not appropriate to participate too much, and Da Zhou had not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, so it was not appropriate to mention this, so he stopped thinking.

The two were chatting happily, and "Gugu" Xiaobai landed on Shen Jia's shoulder.

Shen Jia poured out a piece of osmanthus candy from the porcelain bottle. Xiaobai's eyes lit up and he quickly took the osmanthus candy into his mouth.

Shen Jia picked up Xiaobai and gently stroked its feathers, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaobai!"

Xiao Bai closed his eyes and lay comfortably in Shen Jia's arms. Shen Jia untied the note tied to Xiao Bai's leg and handed it to Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen only glanced at it and handed the deed to Shen Jia: "Miss Shen, the deed from the capital."

Shen Jia asked with confusion: "Is this for me?"

"You and I each have a room, and I will also leave my shop to you to run."

"Should I help you run the business? I can't go to Beijing now and I don't have anyone to help you. How can I help you run the business?" Shen Jia asked doubtfully.

"My people are not good at doing business. The property my father left to me is at a huge loss in their hands. Rather than leaving it to them, why not leave it to you? Maybe I can make a lot of money?"

Xiao Ping silently looked at the dazzling scorching sun outside. Even in September, the weather in Lingnan was still scorching hot and sweltering. How could there be snow in September? But thinking that this September Feixue person was his mortal enemy, he covered his mouth and gloated and snickered.

After hearing what Xiao Yichen said, Shen Jia sighed silently and didn't bother to argue with him. I thought, let it go! The worst thing to do is just put more thought into it in the future.

Shen Jia took the deed and looked at it carefully. The area was large and the location was good. He praised: "I didn't expect the emperor to be quite generous!"

"Grandpa Huang has always been generous. This is what he just got from the property of Uncle Zhongyi. Before he could reward us, he received my letter and immediately rewarded us. This is the best location in the capital, nearby. All the people living here are nobles and important officials of the court, so even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for me."

"it is good."
