That night, Zhao Jizhou and Zhang Jian stayed at Shen Yi's house for most of an hour before leaving.
Early the next morning, Shen Yi got up early and went to the east city gate to see Zhang Jian off to his appointment.
Speaking of which, the two brothers had a wonderful fate. Shen Yi was taking exams in Zhang Jian's hometown, and Zhang Jian was working in Shen Yi's hometown. They were separated and couldn't get together for a long time.
After seeing Zhang Jian off at Dongcheng Gate, Shen Yi randomly found a roadside noodle stall to eat. After a bowl of hot noodle soup was served, Shen Yi sat on the roadside and just took a few mouthfuls when an acquaintance came to him. He smiled and sat opposite Shen Yi.
Shen Yi looked up and recognized this person immediately. He quickly put down his chopsticks with a smile on his face.
"Brother Qi!"
There are many internal guards.
When Shen Yi was investigated by the internal guards for writing poetry, Qi Dayou and Zhao Ge came to question him. At that time, these two internal guards helped Shen Yi go to a money shop to deposit money, and Shen Yi was also with them. The two of them had spent money on each other, so they had some friendship.
Hearing the name Shen Yi, Qi Dayou shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile: "In the past, Mr. Qi was so shameless and accepted it, but now he is already a master of civil engineering. I don't dare to compare with him. I am doing my third job at home. Young Master, just call me Qi San."
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "I never care about my identity when making friends. When it comes to identity, when Brother Qi came to find me in the past, I was half a prisoner. Brother Qi didn't dislike me, right?"
With that said, Shen Yi lowered his head and looked at the noodle soup in front of him, and said with a smile: "Brother Qi must have something to do with me. If it's not urgent, can I finish this bowl of noodles?"
"No hurry, no rush."
Qi Dayou hurriedly shook his head and said: "For the errands assigned by the palace, just report them before noon. Young Master, you can do what you want."
Shen Yi looked at Qi Dayou and said with a smile: "Brother Qi picked up the business so early, why haven't you eaten yet?"
After saying that, before Qi Dayou could say anything, Shen Yi called to the stall owner: "Shopkeeper, bring me two more bowls of noodles."
Qi Dayou is a strong man, nearly a head and a half taller than Shen Yi. He has a burly build. One bowl of noodles will definitely not fill him up, and maybe two bowls of noodles will just give him a stomach ache.
Qi Dayou, who was born in the inner guard, just wanted to refuse, but after looking at the young man with a sincere smile in front of him, he shook his head and sat down opposite Shen Yi. After the store brought two bowls of noodles, the two of them sat down. Had breakfast at this stall.
After finishing the meal, Qi Dayou stood up and went to pay. Shen Yi quickly stood up and gave the money. The man who was a guard turned back to look at Shen Yi and frowned: "Young Master said before that you treat me as a friend."
Shen Yi smiled hoarsely and did not rush to pay for the twenty cents of food.
After paying the money, the two people walked on the street one after another. Shen Yi looked back at him and asked: "Brother Qi, is it because someone came to see me yesterday?"
"Um…"
Qi Dayou lowered his eyebrows and said: "Someone in the inner guard is watching the young master. He knows that he met you yesterday, but he doesn't know what you said, so he sent me to ask about the content of your conversation. The young master told me roughly Say it again, if I report it, it will be regarded as a commission."
Having said this, Qi Dayou hesitated for a moment and said: "If you have something inconvenient to say, Master, you can choose not to say it, but if someone in the palace asks you again in the future, you must use the same caliber as this time. "
As an internal guard, being able to say this means that Qi Dayou is very sincere.
And being able to go out on imperial errands shows that he is not low-level among the internal guards, and is probably a middle-level one. It is very rare that he can be so honest despite his position.
"Brother Qi, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. I will tell you whatever I heard yesterday."
The two of them walked to an inconspicuous teahouse and asked for a pot of tea. Shen Yi told Qi Dayou exactly what happened yesterday.
At this moment, the big man sitting opposite Shen Yi appeared to be an internal guard, but was actually the incarnation of the emperor.
If you tell him, you are telling the emperor.
Being able to file a complaint was naturally something Shen Yi wanted.
Finally, this matter will reach the ears of Eunuch Gao, and one day it will also happen to Young Master Yang.
Shen Yi really hopes that the Yang family will fall.
Because his big enemy Fan Dongcheng got involved with the Yang family.
The two of them sat in the teahouse for almost a cup of tea, and Shen Yi told Qi Dayou what happened last night. After Qi Dayou listened, he memorized it silently, and then said to Shen Yi: "Thank you, Master, for your cooperation. Qi has to go back for business and will come back to meet the young master for tea another day."
Shen Yi stood up, returned the courtesy to Qi Dayou, and said with a smile: "Brother Qi and Brother Zhao will take a break someday. Come out together, and I will treat you two to tea."
Qi Dayou didn't know whether he agreed or not, he responded vaguely, turned around and left.
Shen Yi looked at his leaving figure, sat back down in his seat, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, laughing to himself.
"I am already familiar with Sun Jin, the eunuch in the palace. If I become familiar with the two inner guards, maybe in the future, my acquaintances will be everywhere in the palace..."
This idea was a bit dangerous. After Shen Yi shook his head, he got rid of the dangerous thoughts in his mind, then stood up from the chair, paid for the tea, and walked towards the Qinhuai River.
It's still morning, so when I go to Qinhuai River, I'm naturally not looking for a girl.
Xu Fu and others have been in Jiankang for two days. During these two days, several of them have been busy preparing for the opening. As the major shareholder behind the scenes, Shen Yi should naturally go and take a look, and take a look at it. How is Tian Boping's illegitimate son adapting here?
After arriving at the Qinhuai River, Shen Yi quickly found Xu Fu's store. At this time, Xu Fu was taking Tian Boping's son to work in the store. What surprised Shen Yi was that his third brother Shen Ling was also helping in the store. matter.
Mr. Shen was so surprised that he pulled Shen Ling aside and said with a smile: "Why is the third brother suddenly so diligent? In the past in Jiangdu, my sister-in-law was always busy at home, but you never did anything."
"Jiangdu is Jiangdu, Jiankang is Jiankang."
Shen Ling patted the dust on his hands and glanced at Shen Yi: "I followed you out of Jiangdu, how can I still fool around like before? If I don't show my personal appearance, I will still be laughed at by my father when I go back!"
After saying this, Shen Ling pulled Shen Yi's sleeves, pointed at Xu Fu who was busy in the store, and whispered: "Old Qi, this store is the one you mentioned... It can earn ten thousand taels a year. What’s the deal?”
"no…"
Unless a store is selling antiques, jades, or the Four Treasures of the Study, or other high value-added items, it will not make that much profit just by selling snacks, no matter how prosperous the business is.
"The transaction I'm talking about is an overall transaction, and this store is just a small part of it..."
Mr. Shen patted Shen Ling on the shoulder and began to draw the cake.
"Third brother, please keep an eye on it. After two years when you have made money, we will go to the Imperial College to donate a student to the Imperial College, and then return to Jiangdu to build a big house, so that my uncle can see how powerful you are!"
This piece of cake was big and round, which was very suitable for Shen Ling's appetite. Shen Ling nodded happily and said: "In the future, when my brother earns a lot of money, you will become an official, seventh grade, and then arrange a sixth- and fifth-grade official for me. Make him look "jealous!"
Shen Hui worked as an official for nearly ten years, and in the end he was only a seventh-grade county magistrate.
That's why Shen Ling wants to be a fifth- or sixth-rank official. He must surpass his father who looks down on him!
Shen Yi smiled and agreed: "Okay, when the time comes for us brothers to put on official uniforms, we will have to walk around Yudai Lake a dozen times!"
Shen Ling laughed loudly when he heard this, and the two brothers burst into laughter.
In comparison, the mood of a certain emperor in the palace was very bad.
When the internal guards sent the news to Gao Ming, and Gao Ming relayed it to the emperor, the emperor became furious because of this incident. He threw the tea cup in his hand and gritted his teeth in anger.
"Don't wait until after the Lantern Festival, Di Bao will be issued tomorrow!"
His Majesty the Emperor's tone was filled with anger.
"Not only let the officials see it, but also the common people. If they are unhappy because of this, there is no need to go to Shen Yi. Let them come directly to Deqing Hall to find me!"
