This sentence is not appropriate when applied to Mr. Fan. A character like Fan Dongcheng’s is definitely the result of the Fan family’s doting and indulgence. Therefore, when placed in the Fan family, it should be...
I hate the hearts of all parents in the world.
Moreover, Mr. Fan now looks pitiful and helpless in front of Shen Yi, but Shen Yi looked through the information sent by the Di newspaper department. In recent years, especially the years when Mr. Fan has been the head of the family, the Fan family's land and property have more than doubled. , and when the assets are expanding, Mr. Fan is not pitiful, weak and helpless.
He can "eat people"!
Therefore, Shen Yi's pity only lasted for one breath, and then he looked at Mr. Fan with a smile, and said with a smile: "I, as an Hanlin, am somewhat unworthy of my name. Mr. Fan is a well-known good person in Jiangdu. Whenever Jiangdu When disaster strikes, the Fan family is always the first to give out porridge and provide disaster relief, and I cannot afford to be called Mr. Fan as a Hanlin Duke."
Mr. Fan's name was Fan Qian. Hearing this, he sighed deeply and said: "The Duke of Hanlin has won the Hanlin Academy. This is the first Hanlin in Jiangdu in more than ten years. He naturally deserves the title of Duke of Hanlin."
With that said, Mr. Fan took out a redemption ticket from his sleeve, held it in both hands and handed it to Shen Yi, and said, "Mr. Hanlin has earned face for us Jiangdu people. This is a small gift from Mr. Fan to Mr. Hanlin." , please accept it, Duke Hanlin."
Shen Yi glanced at it.
It was also a check for ten thousand taels of silver, but it was not from Huitong Money Shop, but from a local money shop in Jiangdu.
This Fan family is really generous.
Shen Yi shook his head slightly, then frowned and said, "What are you doing, Mr. Fan? If that's the case, Shen will turn around and leave."
The gray-haired Master Fan gave a wry smile, lowered his head and said, "To put it bluntly, this is for the sake of the Fan family, for Quanzi, and to clear up the misunderstanding with Mr. Hanlin."
"Please accept it, Duke Hanlin. Don't worry, Duke Hanlin, no one will know about what happened today. If Duke Hanlin accepts it, Duke Hanlin will get married in the future, and the Fan family will have a big gift."
Shen Yi still frowned.
He waved his hand and turned around to leave.
"No reward for no merit. Shen cannot afford this generous gift, so he left."
After saying that, Shen Yi turned around and left, leaving the little old man alone under the pavilion.
The winter wind blew over and messed up Mr. Fan's hair, making the old man under the pavilion feel a little more embarrassed and miserable.
The steward of the Fan family stood behind his master, lowered his head slightly and said: "Master, I think there is no need for us to be afraid of him, a new Jinshi, the governor of Jiangdu Prefecture, in front of the master..."
"You know nothing!"
Master Fan changed his pitiful look before, his eyes were cold and he gritted his teeth: "Are you afraid of him as a new Jinshi!"
After saying this, he sighed and whispered: "I asked you to sell your family's property a few days ago. How is it now?"
"Part of it has been sold, but there are too many properties and I won't be able to sell them all for a while..."
"Then sell it at a low price."
"All turned into cash."
Mr. Fan's white hair was disheveled and he silently glanced south: "Send them all to the Fifth Master."

Shen Yi's return to his hometown made everyone in the Shen family very happy.
The happiest person is uncle Shen Hui.
At this moment, Shen Hui had completely given up his right to speak as an elder, but was sincerely happy for Shen Yi, and willingly entrusted all the right to speak in the Shen family to Shen Yi's hands.
After welcoming Shen Yi, he took Shen Yi to the Shen family's ancestral hall.
Before entering the ancestral hall, Shen Hui pointed to an archway at the entrance of the ancestral hall, with a smile on his face: "Ziheng, look, this is the archway that was just completed two months ago. It was erected for the emperor."
Shen Yi looked up and saw four words written on the archway.
Hanlin family background.
There is also a stele erected under the archway, which contains some stories about Shen Yi's life. However, because Shen Yi was still very young, the inscription is very short and does not contain many words.
Looking at the tall archway standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall, Shen Yi stood there blankly and didn't speak for a long time.
To be honest, at this moment, there is indeed a huge sense of honor attached to him.
Chinese people are born to worship their ancestors and pay attention to respecting heaven and ancestors. Therefore, for the descendants of the Xia Dynasty, there are four words that can make anyone's heart move.
Guangzong Yaozu!
Although Shen Yi is no longer exactly the same Shen Yi, he is still the same person after all. He has inherited all the memories of Jiangdu Shen Yi and is himself Shen Yi. Therefore, this archway inevitably makes him feel a little excited.
Seeing that Shen Yi didn't speak for a long time, Shen Hui patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay Ziheng, don't look at it now. Let's go in with the uncle to worship our ancestors. Don't keep the ancestors waiting."
Shen Yi smiled and nodded, then looked up at the archway again.
We cannot let this archway fall down.
At least not while alive.
This is what he thought in his heart.
Thinking of this, Mr. Shen couldn't help but think a lot.
If he can ascend the throne and pay homage to the Prime Minister in the future, maybe his family will erect a few more memorial arches for him.
Everyone has vanity.
After worshiping their ancestors with their uncle Shen Hui and their father Shen Zhang, the group walked out of the ancestral hall. At Shen Hui's insistence, Shen Yi and others went to the Shen family mansion and the family sat together for a meal. meal.
The meal was very loud. Not only the main members of the Shen family ate in the mansion, but many people from the branches also came to watch the fun and wanted to see what the Shen family's Hanlin Duke and Jiangdu's Wenquxing looked like.
Shen Yi didn't like this kind of occasion very much, but his father Shen Zhang liked it very much. He was gathered with a group of Shen family members. Everyone called him "fourth brother" and said a series of flattering words. Already.
Seeing that his father was happy, Shen Yi could only stay with him. When he was bored, he asked his younger brother Shen Heng to ask about his studies.
It is the winter of the seventh year of Hongde. By February next year, Shen Heng will take the Jiangdu County Examination and embark on the road of scientific examination.
However, Shen Heng's current knowledge may be better than that of Shen Yi before he took the provincial examination. Therefore, there is nothing to worry about in the children's examination. After taking the examination, Shen Yi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Brother, what are you doing now?" In terms of knowledge, it’s probably not a big problem to be a candidate for the Juren examination. It only depends on the ranking of the Juren. If we work hard, our Shen family may have a Duke Jie Yuangong in the future.”
Having said this, Shen Yi paused and said with a smile: "If you perform well, you will win the top prize in the future and I will build some archways at the entrance of the ancestral hall for you!"
Shen Heng was very envious of the archway. When he heard this, his eyes gleamed and he said with some embarrassment: "Brother, don't talk nonsense. We haven't even taken the junior high school exam yet. If you listen to it, others will laugh."
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "No matter what they say, just take your test. When you get the Jinshi, I will arrange a good job for you."
If everything goes well in Shen Heng's exam, he should be a Jinshi in the 10th year of Hongde.
If he can win the Jinshi, it will be exactly three years since Shen Yi took over the Di Newspaper Division, and it will be time for promotion. He can work hard to get his younger brother to work in the Di Newspaper Division.
In that case, his years of hard work will not be in vain.
After the two brothers talked for a long time, they stayed at the Shen family mansion until night. When they finally escaped and returned to their own yard, they saw a familiar figure standing at the door.
It's the inner guard Zhao Ge.
Zhao Ge stepped forward, raised his hands to Shen Yi and said: "Shen Sizheng, there is a sneaky person in front of your house, we have caught him..."
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "Take me to have a look."
Zhao Ge nodded and took Shen Yi to the corner, where a thin middle-aged man was now tied up and pinned to the ground by two men, unable to move.
Shen Yi recognized him at a glance and stepped forward to help the middle-aged man: "I misunderstood, I misunderstood, this is my friend."
He took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, handed it to Zhao Ge, and said with a smile: "Brothers, you are still following me at night. You have worked so hard. With this money, let me go drink tea."
Zhao Ge hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it and handed the middle-aged man to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi led the middle-aged man all the way into his study, then looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Brother Tian is said to have slippery hands, how come he was caught by someone?"
Tian Boping smiled bitterly: "Sir, those people are so elusive and powerful. How can the villain be their opponent? They were taken away without a sound..."
"Say it..."
Shen Yi stretched out and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's something the young master asked me to inquire about."
Tian Boping lowered his head and said, "Luo Maocai has returned to Jiangdu, and Ma Jun of the Ma family..."
