Chapter 368 Pity the hearts of parents in the world
This time at the Zhao family, Shen Yi came not to say goodbye to Zhao Changping, but to inform his uncle that he was ready to take action.
Because of the Yan Mingli incident, the Minister of Revenue was holding back his anger towards the Fan family and Fan Chou. Even when Fan Chou asked for a meeting, he even refused to give him the most basic face and did not even meet him.
Now that he had obtained the documents collected by Shen Yi, he naturally had nothing to say.
With Zhao Shangshu as a guarantee in Jiankang, Shen Yi would be able to do whatever he wanted in Jiangdu. So the next morning, Shen Yi took his packed family and set foot on the road back home.
This time when returning home, Shen Yi hired two carriages, but did not hire martial artists to escort him along the way as before.
Because it's not necessary.
After the last incident at Jiming Temple, Shen Yi knew very well that there was always a team of internal guards protecting him secretly. These internal guards were all good players and they did not need too many people. As long as there were five, six, seven or eight people, Even if you encounter dozens or twenty bandits, you can easily deal with them.
Gyeonggi and Jiankang are both big cities. There may be some secret thieves between the two cities, but there are no large-scale stockades, so it is very safe.
When Shen Yi's family left Jiankang, Zhao Er and Zhao Jizhou rode their horses to see them off all the way to Shiliting. Zhao Er then got back on his horse and left, and said with a smile that he would definitely be there when Shen Yi gets married.
In addition to Zhao Jizhou, there was also a somewhat thin young man who saw him off, it was Ding Man.
After Ding Man arrived at Shiliting, he bowed his hands to Shen Yi who got off the carriage and said, "Sir, I will send you here on behalf of my eldest brother."
As he said this, he took out a redemption ticket from his sleeve, brought it to Shen Yi, and said: "Sir, this is what my eldest brother asked me to hand over to you. This money shop also has one in Jiangdu. You can take it in Jiangdu." It can also be exchanged."
Shen Yi took it and looked at it. It was a redemption note for ten thousand taels of silver.
The money shop that issues invoices is Huitong Money Shop. This money shop is one of the few money shops in the world. Although it is not a nationwide chain, it has shops in some big cities. It can be regarded as a breakthrough in the money shop industry. regional restrictions.
There are rumors that Huitong Bank's bills can be redeemed even in Yandu.
However, precisely because of its good liquidity, the "custody fee" charged is also relatively high. It is estimated that three to four hundred taels will be withdrawn from ten thousand taels of silver.
Shen Yi glanced at the cashed ticket and smiled dumbly: "I didn't ask him for any money, so why did you just send it to me?"
"The eldest brother said that the young master is getting married soon, and he will use money both inside and outside. He should have returned to Jiangdu to help the young master, but..."
Ever since Xu Fu became the "nephew" of Eunuch Gao, he has met with Shen Yi less often. Especially now, Xu Fu has gradually become a "little celebrity" in the Jiankang business circle, and it is even more inconvenient to meet with Shen Yi. Shen Yi met.
In his own words, he was afraid of tarnishing Shen Yi's reputation.
Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then reached out to take the exchange note, put it in his sleeve, and said: "Okay, I will keep this money for now. If you have money over there, ask for it from me."
"Need not…"
Ding Man smiled at Shen Yi and said: "Young master may not know that the shop in Bitong Lane is very profitable. Brother is not short of money now, but there are many people looking for him to cooperate in business. Some businesses are simply like It's the same as giving us free money, so sometimes I can't make up my mind."
"That's not looking for Xiao Xu, but looking for Eunuch Gao's nephew."
Shen Yi smiled at Ding Man and said: "Before your relationship with Eunuch Gao reaches a certain level, you need to think carefully about it. Tell Xiao Xu that you must act within your ability. If others cooperate with him, there must be something for him to do. Let him do it." He asks others in advance what they have to do."
"He thinks he has the ability to handle it, and then he takes other people's money and does other people's business."
Ding Man bowed to Shen Yi and said, "Yes, sir, I will tell my elder brother."
"Okay, it's getting late, we have to be on our way."
Shen Yi reached out and patted Ding Man on the shoulder.
"You should go back quickly so that you can help Xiao Xu with some work."
Timon nodded quickly, turned around and rode away on his horse.
After Ding Man left, Shen Yi returned to his carriage, took out the redemption ticket in his hand, and thought deeply.
Qing'er sat next to him, gently squeezed his leg, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu is really generous, giving the young master such a big gift."
Shen Yi collected the cashed notes and said with a smile: "Your young master split the money with him fifty-fifty. This may be my own money."
Qing'er smiled and said: "If you split the account 50-50, you should make an appointment and send an accountant there. How can you, sir, split the account 50-50 like you do?"
"If Brother Xu denies it, then won't we have nothing?"
Shen Yi smiled calmly: "Xiao Xu's character, at least within a few years, he shouldn't do this. If he does do it after a few years, it will be his own choice."
"What kind of agreement have we made? Those people in the court are not allowed to talk about my private business and compete with the people for profit?"
Mr. Shen stretched out and said lazily: "Besides, as long as your young master stands high enough and stable enough in the court, it will be much more useful than making any agreement."
The Shen family's carriage traveled further and further along the official road, slowly leaving Jiankang and heading straight for Jiangdu.
………………
Because the two brothers Shen Yi and Shen Ling were homesick, they spent a lot of time on the road every day. Three carriages arrived at the foot of Jiangdu City on the afternoon of the third day after everyone set out, which was November 15th of the seventh year of Hongde.
The day we arrived in Jiangdu was cloudy with a little rain. In addition, it was already the depth of winter and the weather was quite cold.
Before the carriage of Shen Yi and others arrived at Jiangdu City, they heard a voice coming from outside: "Is it Master Shen Hanlin?"
This voice is standard Jiangdu dialect.
When the two maids heard this, they both opened the car curtain and took a look, then shrank back. Ping'er whispered to Shen Yi: "Young master, he is a tall and thin man in his forties, not from our Shen family..."
Another maid, Qing'er, also whispered: "Looking at his attire, he is not from the academy."
Shen Yi opened the car curtain, glanced at the middle-aged man outside, frowned slightly and asked, "I am Shen Yi, who is your Excellency?"
The middle-aged man immediately stepped forward, braved the drizzle, and bowed to Shen Yi: "Master Hanlin, the younger one is the steward of the Fan family. My master knew that Master Hanlin was coming back today, so he specially prepared a small gift to greet Master Hanlin."
"My master is under the pavilion next to me. Please get out of the car and see Mr. Hanlin."
It was raining lightly at the moment, and although the housekeeper was holding an umbrella, many parts of his body were already wet.
Shen Yi frowned, thoughtfully.
This is where the Fan family came to test his attitude.
Shen Yi thought for a while on the carriage, then frowned.
Don't let people jump into the grass and scare the snake, and don't let them jump over the wall in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi got off the carriage, put on a standard smile on his face, and asked: "Since it is Mr. Fan, please lead the way."
The steward of the Fan family was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly bowed to Shen Yi. Then he came over to hold an umbrella for Shen Yi and led Shen Yi to a somewhat crude pavilion nearby.
This pavilion only provides shelter from the rain but not the wind. At this moment, an old man with white hair was blown under the pavilion and was quite embarrassed.
It is the head of the Fan family, the famous Mr. Fan in Jiangdu City.
Shen Yi stepped forward and lightly arched his hands, but did not bend down.
"Shen Yi, a junior student, met Mr. Fan."
Mr. Fan stood up quickly, straightened out the wrinkles on his clothes, bowed slightly, and returned the favor with his hands.
"Mr. Hanlin is so polite."
At this moment, Mr. Fan not only looked embarrassed, but also showed a sense of caution between his brows.
This well-known squire in Jiangdu, Master Fan, who was not looked down upon by the county and government officials, actually looked a little humble in front of Shen Yi.
When Shen Yi saw this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
