Chapter 175 Going Back to Beijing
As long as they saw this huge stele, even if they couldn't see the name on the opposite side in the carriage, they were satisfied in their hearts!

Thinking that their names will always be placed on the stone tablet in the future, such a famous thing that lasts through the ages, makes them feel very happy.

This time they hurried out in a carriage because they heard that Chen Shangshu seemed to want to go back to Beijing. This time, the matter of the dam was thanks to Chen Shangshu who presided over it here.

They really want to see the eldest princess and the regent, but obviously they have self-knowledge, and they will definitely not see such a person.

However, when they asked for money last time, Chen Shangshu had sat at the same table with them, which was something they should show off.

"Chen Shangshu is leaving this time, what should we give? Gold or jade, isn't gold a bit too vulgar, scholars don't like gold very much, how about a jade Buddha?"

"I heard that Chen Shangshu seems to be very afraid of Madam. Why don't you ask Madam Chen what kind of things she likes, so that you can match what she likes!"

Although these merchants came out, they didn't rush to see Chen Shangshu, because Chen Shangshu was leaving soon, and they felt that they had to figure out what to give as a gift.

"This Chen Shangshu is afraid of his wife, and he is also afraid of her. If this Chen Shangshu loves his wife, then we will give his wife something that his wife loves. If Chen Shangshu's wife is happy, then Chen Shangshu will be happy too. Aren't you also afraid Daughter-in-law, do you consider your daughter-in-law when you buy things?"

A businessman who was sitting had a different idea. He was afraid that those who love his wife may not necessarily love his wife, so they had to give Chen Shangshu what he liked.

"Your words are quite reasonable. I don't know how to answer, but I think it's better to give calligraphy and paintings. Chen Shangshu will definitely like calligraphy and paintings. Let's send famous paintings."

A group of people discussed Chen Shangshu's hobbies intensely here, and a businessman found out the paintings Chen Shangshu liked.

"I heard that Chen Shangshu seems to like Mr. Dongpo's paintings. Who of you has Mr. Dongpo's paintings to contribute."

When the merchants in the private room heard that it was Mr. Dongpo's painting, they all hesitated.

The main reason is that Mr. Dongpo's paintings are both tasteful and popular, and rough people like them can understand them. The beauties in the paintings are so beautiful. Anyway, they can eat an extra bowl of rice after seeing them, and they are in a good mood!

"Tsk tsk, look at you people! When it comes to Mr. Dongpo's paintings, none of them are willing to show them, so why are you still discussing here? Go back to each house and find your mother."

The person who made this suggestion admired Mr. Dongpo's paintings, but he was not so inseparable. It's just that he was not interested in paintings, and he was more interested in gold and silver.

At the end of the discussion, it was still a cut-off who took out Mr. Dongpo's painting that he had just obtained.

After Shen Qiqi knew that Chen Shangshu was going back to Beijing, she asked Yue Ling to prepare a lot of things for Chen Shangshu.

She brought her things and Yue Ling to the mansion where Chen Shangshu lived, and saw that the mansion was busy packing.

"His Royal Highness, why did you come here? If you have something to do, just call your ministers."

The servants in the house knelt down to salute along with Chen Shangshu, Shen Qiqi quickly helped them up.

"Chen Shangshu doesn't need so much courtesy. I heard that Chen Shangshu will return to Beijing tomorrow, so I came here to see him off, although it was a day early."

Shen Qiqi asked Yue Ling to bring up the things she brought, but she didn't bring anything special, just some gadgets she bought these days.

I also brought some good books I bought in the bookstore.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I also hope that Your Highness can return to Beijing with me, but I know that this seems a bit inappropriate."

Chen Shangshu really wished that His Royal Highness the Princess would return to Beijing with him, although it would be safe to have the regent here.

But Yunzhong City is not particularly safe no matter how you say it, what should be done if something happens to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess staying here.

The regent has the skills to protect himself, but Her Royal Highness is just a weak woman.

"I know that Chen Shangshu is worried about my safety, and there will be nothing wrong with the regent here."

After Shen Qiqi saw the worry on his face, her heart warmed slightly, and she felt that this Chen Shangshu was also an excellent person after getting along with him.

"These are the gadgets I bought here, and they are not worth much. There are also some books. If you feel bored on the road, you can read these books."

When Chen Shangshu saw what Yue Ling presented, he also felt that His Highness the Eldest Princess had a heart.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, I think these gifts are very good."

He hasn't been on the street since he came here, and even if he did, he just walked by in a hurry. After all, he has something on his mind, so there is no such thing as leisurely wandering.

When he came here, his old wife told him that he must bring some gadgets back here, and they don’t need to be too expensive, just buy some special features.

"It's fine if you think it's good. You have to pack your luggage. The dam thing this time is really hard for you."

Shen Qiqi looked at the luggage and it seemed that it was almost packed, and Chen Shangshu's luggage seemed to be quite small.

"Hey, what is the princess talking about? This is originally the minister's job. It really doesn't deserve the princess's praise."

Chen Shangshu felt that he couldn't bear such a compliment, after all, he had to bear this matter all by himself.

Although the problem of the dam was left over from the reign of the former emperor, they, as subordinates, naturally cannot have any complaints about these matters, and they have to solve them beautifully.

"I'm here to disturb you, and I will send you off when you leave tomorrow."

Shen Qiqi didn't stay here too long, when he went out, he happened to see a lot of carriages parked outside.

Chen Shangshu sent Shen Qiqi out, and the merchants on the carriage helped their servants to get down, and saw that Chen Shangshu was very respectful to a beautiful girl.

"Chen Shangshu, don't send it away, we will see you tomorrow."

After getting into the carriage, Shen Qiqi waved towards Chen Shangshu.

"Yes, Her Royal Highness, go slowly."

Chen Shangshu saluted.

The merchants who came down were shocked when they heard Chen Shangshu's words. They didn't expect that this beautiful girl was actually Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Were they being rude just now?

After Shen Qiqi's carriage left, the merchants cheekily saluted Chen Shangshu.

"Master Chen, excuse me, I heard that Master Chen is going back to Beijing tomorrow, and I would like to give Master Chen some special products."

The merchants said this with a smile. Chen Shangshu knew them and knew that they were the merchants who donated money last time.

Chen Shangshu also had some ideas about what these merchants wanted to give, and this was regarded as a rule in the officialdom.
