Lu Fenghe was really flustered when he thought about the boatload of silk he had obtained with just a few words. In fact, his eldest cousin really didn't need to trust her so much.
Lu Fenghe even dared not tell Zhao and Lu Balang about this matter. If she told Zhao, she would only worry in vain and would not be able to solve the problem. As for Lu Balang, she was afraid that if she told him, Lu Balang felt that he had ruined his grandfather's family again.
Pull down the water.
Lu Fenghe returned to the Puzhuo Courtyard and sat at her desk. She was so upset that she wrote down the matter with a pen in hand. When she finished writing and stopped writing, she realized that she was writing this letter purely to Shen Nanxun.
The tone.
Forget it, now that you have written it, write down all your thoughts about Chenzhou. Anyway, it is for what he wants and how to do it. It is not too much to let him spend his time thinking about it.
After Lu Fenghe finished writing, he sent Xiang Ya'er away immediately, fearing that he would regret giving it to Xiang Ya'er later.
But Lu Fenghe forgot, in fact, this matter happened once and twice. After writing the first letter, why not write the second one?
At noon, Shen Ke brought people in to see Lu Fenghe, but not only did they come in, there were also two cars full of things.
Lu Fenghe looked at the things that were being moved from the front yard to the backyard.
"What are you doing?"
"Sister-in-law, please forgive me. I left in a hurry from the northwest and didn't have time to prepare anything. I came to visit my aunt and husband without bringing any earthly rituals. I saw the Mid-Autumn Festival and didn't prepare any new year's rituals."
Lu Fenghe frowned. Shen Ke must have sent someone to prepare the gift after seeing the Zhao family in the morning.
"There is no need for you to give me a gift. It's good that you can come. Don't move it. Just take it and return it."
Although Shen Ke is the prince of Dingxi County, he actually does not have much money in his hands.
Shen Ke never took away the monthly money given to Shen Ke by the family. He always asked Lu Fenghe to give it directly to Aunt Han. Aunt Han had limited monthly money and he was not with Aunt Han, so he gave Aunt Han more than ten or twenty taels of silver.
The body is also good.
During the days when Lu Fenghe was the head of the family, Shen Ke took all his money from Aunt Han until Aunt Han passed away.
As for the salary he received from serving in the army, it was not much. Both Shen Nanxun and Shen Beirui had official positions, and their salaries were obtained from the court, while Shen Ke only received a few military positions in the army through military merit.
Salaries are all paid from military pay in the army, which is much less than that of Shen Nanxun and Shen Beirui.
Shen Ke looked at Lu Fenghe's seemingly angry face and shouted helplessly, "Sister-in-law..."
"I know better than you how much money you have in your hand. Take it and return it."
"I...I'm here to send it off for my brother..." Shen Ke would rather Shen Nanxun be angry than see Lu Fenghe angry, "Sister-in-law, I..."
"That's all, my sister-in-law already knows your thoughts, come in."
Of course Lu Fenghe knew that Shen Ke only had good intentions. She also saw that the gift boxes that were moved in were from time-honored brands in Piling. Buying those boxes one by one would make a lot of money.
On the way to Zhuo Puyuan, Lu Fenghe couldn't help but say a few more words.
"You are about to start a family. This is not how you buy things. You can't spend money like this anymore."
Shen Ke followed Lu Fenghe, "I know, sister-in-law."
"You don't have any money in your hand. Since it's a gift for your eldest brother, remember to ask your eldest brother for the money. If you don't do things for others, you still have to give money back."
When Shen Ke heard this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, "Okay."
Lu Fenghe looked at Shen Ke's two little Huya, what a good child, is he going to stay in the northwest like this with his whole life full of sincerity?
Shen Ke was followed by three people, one of whom didn't look young anymore. He was in his early thirties.
Sitting down in the flower hall, Lu Fenghe asked the three people standing upright, "Are you all from the northwest?"
All three of them answered, "Yes."
His voice was loud and clear, unlike that of an ordinary servant.
Lu Fenghe approached Shen Ke, "Are you in the army?"
Shen Ke nodded and thought to himself, he is still in the army, but there is nothing wrong with being in the army.
"You've never been on a ship."
The three of them said in unison, "Yes."
Lu Fenghe was slightly startled by the loud voice again, "We are not in the military now, I am just an employer. Relax and sit down."
The three of them sat down on the chairs. As expected, people in the army are different. If ordinary servants and servants were asked to sit, they would usually find stools to sit on, and they would only sit down half of the time with trepidation.
The three people did not sit down on the stools, but found the nearest chair. When they sat down, their backs were straight, and they looked at the ground in front of them without sweeping around.
"I have nothing to explain, so I just want to recognize you. There is nothing else to do while sailing. The boss of the ship has the final say. You have to listen to the boss's arrangements. The steward will also arrange other things for you."
Lu Fenghe really had nothing to explain. After all, they were just a few sergeants sent by Shen Nanxun to do the work.
"Go on, do your work honestly, do more and see more, and it will be smoother if you take a few more trips."
Shen Ke felt that this matter still had to be explained to Lu Fenghe.
"Sister-in-law, King Xiang has said that my eldest brother will go to Quanzhou Navy to serve as commander in the next year."
"Ah? Navy? The Shen family's army has never had a navy."
"Who says it's not the case? Let alone the navy, there are many people in the Northwest Army who have never done anything like sailing. How can we fight like this?"
There is really no solution to this problem, and it doesn't mean that Shen Nanxun can make any preparations if he knows about it in advance. Some places in the northwest don't have much water to drink, let alone waterways that can be used for boating training.
"But sister-in-law, there is no need to worry. If my eldest brother goes to Quanzhou, he cannot take the Northwest Army with him."
Lu Fenghe really didn't have a clue. He was only mobilizing Shen Nanxun, the Northwest Army or the Northwest Army. But did Shen Nanxun really have the ability to command the navy? Water operations and land operations must be different... right?
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to take my brother out to play this afternoon. I'll leave at dawn tomorrow. I won't come in to say goodbye then. I'll see you again when I return to the northwest."
"The evening meal that night..."
"You won't come back."
"It's a rare trip. If you take Brother Bao'er and the others to horse racing, go directly to Sanbai Tower. You always want to try Piling's Sanbai Banquet."
Shen Ke didn't have any other hobbies in his life, but it was delicious. As long as it was special, no matter whether it was delicious or not, and whether he could get used to it, he would always try it.
However, Shen Ke had not been to many places in his previous life. Most of the local dishes were eaten in Kyoto. Local specialties were always not so authentic when they arrived in Kyoto.
Shen Ke went out with his front foot, and Lu Fenghe arranged his rear foot.
Mrs. Zhao also knew the reason why Shen Ke suddenly sent so many things.
"This kid is too honest. He can come from the northwest to see Brother Bao and Sister Zhen. They are all members of the same family and deserve such a big gift."
"Who says it's not the case? Mr. Sanlang grew up next to Aunt Han and has limited knowledge, so he is very good at handling people around him. He will definitely bring something with him when he returns to Beijing and has to go to Fan's house. I will prepare more for him to save money.
