The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 97
(Please collect, please recommend tickets!)

Yuyao in June is unbearably hot.

The water vapor from Yaojiang steamed up, rushing straight to the cheeks of pedestrians and ordinary people.The annoying poisonous sun hangs high in the sky, scorching people's backs like a chopping board.

The people walking on the street have obviously quickened their pace, and they no longer have leisure time to linger in the streets and alleys. It is the right way to go home early and drink a sip of ice water to cool off the heat.

Even the force sticks that sell hard work stopped their work, sitting in twos and threes around the tea shop on the side of the road, drinking a large bowl of tea that cost a penny to relieve the heat.

Xie Shen, Wang Shouren, and Wang Sufang felt the heat wave rushing towards them as soon as they entered the city, and subconsciously quickened their pace.

"This summer looks like it's going to be tough again."

The corners of Wang Shouren's mouth raised slightly, and there was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

In a farming society like Daming, the number of acres directly reflects the strength of a family.A wealthy family like the Wang family naturally has a lot of land in their hands.

Xie Shen knew that Wang Shouren was worried about the drought in these fields, but he couldn't say anything.After all, this is a private matter.

Wang Su sighed quietly: "After living for more than forty years, the old man finally realized that there is no hometown anywhere."

Although Wang Su intends to resign, he will not feel uncomfortable at this juncture.He planned to resign after the turmoil of the salt transport envoy case subsided completely, and now he returned to Yuyao to avoid the limelight temporarily.

"The old man will go back to the mansion with brother Ren to rest first, and benefactor can come to the mansion to gossip at any time."

It was really embarrassing for Xie Shen to be yelled at by Wang Su one by one, but he still didn't change his words after reminding Wang Su several times, so he didn't insist anymore.

"Master Wang, let's go to rest first, the boy will definitely visit in a few days!"

After Xie Shen said goodbye to Wang Shouren and Wang Su, they bid farewell at the street corner.

Xie Shen subconsciously wanted to walk in the direction of the bamboo building, but after taking a step, he remembered that his elder brother and sister-in-law had already bought a house in the north of the city, so he turned around and walked towards his new home.

The Xie family's newly purchased mansion is in the north of the city, not far from the Town God's Temple, it is considered the most prosperous area in Yuyao.

At that time, the eldest brother Xie Fang had been in pain for a long time because of 300 taels of silver, but it was Xie Shen who finally insisted on buying the house.

Before coming to his own house, Xie Shen was slightly taken aback.The door is ajar, could it be that there are guests at home?
Pushing the door open with doubts, Xie Shen walked straight towards the inner courtyard.

The house is two-entry, with a flower hall, a side room, and a wing room for guests in the front yard.The backyard is the mansion where the master of the Xie family lived.

At the beginning, Yaxing also had a Sanjin mansion for Xie Shen to choose from, but he felt that it was too high-profile to buy a Sanjin mansion just after he was selected as a scholar.Including Shuiyun, Erya's family only has five members in total, and it would be too wasteful to live in a three-entry mansion, so they finally decided to buy this two-entry mansion.

Passing through the moon gate is the inner courtyard, Xie Shen saw that the eldest brother was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard with a man who looked like a Confucian merchant, but the man was behind his back, Xie Shen couldn't see his face.The young man thought for a moment, coughed lightly and said, "Brother, I'm back."

Hearing the voice, the Confucian businessman turned around first and said, "Isn't this Brother Shen? Congratulations, I heard that Brother Shen passed the entrance exam, so I'm afraid to say Xie Xiaoxianggong when we meet in the future."

Xie Shen took a closer look, isn't this person the shopkeeper Wu of Hengyuan Tea House in the west of the city?

Back then, this guy treated his elder brother Xie Fang like a cow and horse, and even taunted him to the fullest. Now that he saw that he was selected as a scholar, he came over to congratulate him. He is simply the leader of the shameless, the leader of the scum!

The clay figurine still had a certain temperament, Xie Shen did not immediately throw the shopkeeper Wu out of the house as a kindness, why would he give him a good face.

"Since you know that my son is a student member of the county, please show some respect."

Xie Shen glanced coldly at shopkeeper Wu, and said coldly.

Shopkeeper Wu put a hot face on his cold butt, and secretly scolded you in his heart as a little thieves who don't know what's good or bad. If you give you some color, you really started a dyeing workshop!
But he had no choice but to keep flattering Xie Shen and said: "Look at this little old man, he really deserves to be spanked. Mr. Xie, please forgive me."

"Brother, I just came back from Hangzhou Mansion and I'm a little tired, so let's see off the guests."

Xie Shen didn't appreciate it at all, and directly issued the order to evict the guest.

"This"

Xie Fang looked at Xie Shen with some embarrassment, after hesitating for a moment, he turned around and said to shopkeeper Wu, "Treasurer Wu, why don't you go back first."

Shopkeeper Wu forcefully squeezed out a smile and said, "It's easy to talk about. Please think about what the little old man said just now. The little man is tired, so the little old man will not disturb you. Let me leave."

Shopkeeper Wu turned around and left in disgrace. Seeing him walking away, Xie Shen hurriedly rushed to Xie Fang and said, "Brother, what did this guy say to you just now?"

Xie Fang sighed and said, "What else can he do? He wants to cooperate with Brother Wei in selling tea."

"Brother promised him?"

"That's not yet, Brother Wei only told him to think about it."

Xie Shen's heart sank, but he couldn't beat his anger.

Big brother is too honest.The old saying goes that good people are bullied by others, and good horses are ridden by others. It really makes sense.The shopkeeper Wu treated the elder brother like that at the beginning, but the elder brother repaid the complaint with virtue, and even wanted to start cooperating with the shopkeeper Wu.

People like shopkeeper Wu are the most mercenary, and the face of a profiteer is undoubtedly exposed.If he hadn't obtained the honor of a scholar, the shopkeeper Wu would definitely not even take a look at the Xie family.

"Brother, if you want to sell tea, you can do it yourself. There is no need to cooperate with this kind of villain. Besides, I want to take a stake in Feng's Bookstore, and my brother and shopkeeper Feng will manage the business of the bookstore together."

This was not Xie Shen's whim, but a plan he had considered for a long time on the way home.

He chatted well with the shopkeepers of the two bookstores in Yuyao County and Shaoxing Mansion, but they were outsiders anyway.

People's hearts are separated by belly, God knows if there will be any problems in the future.

Just in case, Xie Shen decided to take a stake in the bookstore and ask his elder brother to take care of the bookstore's affairs on his behalf.In this way, the Xie family became the half-owner of the bookstore, so naturally they were not afraid of being tricked secretly again.

Moreover, the size of Yuyao Feng's Bookstore is not large, so it is not difficult to acquire shares.

Xie Fang was slightly taken aback.

Invest in the bookstore?

He knew that Xiao Lang wrote books and sold them in bookstores, and this house was bought with the money Xiao Lang sold books.But it's another matter for him to really buy a stake in the bookstore. After all, he knows nothing but selling tea, and he doesn't seem to be good at managing the bookstore.

As if seeing his brother's doubts, Xie Shen explained: "This bookstore's shareholding is not for the elder brother to take over with full power, but for cooperation with the Feng family. At the end of the year, everyone will share [-]-[-] of the money earned. Of course, Eldest brother can also learn more from the people of the Feng family, this bookstore can make more money than selling tea!"
