The prince lowered his head to take a sip of tea and glanced at Shen Yi.
"You don't tell the truth to anyone."
Master Shen smiled and said, "I am willing to talk about things in Guangdong, but I am afraid that the prince is not willing to listen."
Hearing this, Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to understand something. He shook his head and said, "Then I really don't want to hear it anymore."
He stood up and stretched: "But no matter what, I have come back. During this time, I have developed a lot of delicious food in Fuzhou. I will be the host today and treat you to a good meal." , to catch the wind for you."
Shen Yi also stood up, first smiled and nodded, and then asked: "By the way, how did the prince know that I was back today?"
Shen Yi secretly returned to Fuzhou without informing anyone in advance, neither the Fujian government nor the Fuzhou guards. Shen Yi planned to rest in Xingyuan for a few days before going to deal with people in Fuzhou.
Li Mu smiled.
"Who else do you want to hide your itinerary from? You have been traveling from Guangdong to Fujian for more than a month. Many people have received the news and are eyeing the apricot garden."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly.
He is now considered a public figure.
Mainly because he has so much power that it is difficult to remain unnoticed.
Master Shen glanced at Li Mu and said helplessly: "It turns out that the prince knew that I was coming back, and he pretended to be surprised just now."
"I knew you were coming back."
Li Mu smiled and said, "I just don't know why you came back and whether you really want to come back."
"Speaking of which, I am very curious about what happened to you in Guangdong."
"I'll tell the prince again when I get a chance."
Mr. Shen smiled in relief and said, "Let's go eat first."
In this way, Shen Yi followed Li Mu out of the house, and the two of them had a meal at a famous restaurant in Fuzhou. After the meal was finished, when Mr. Shen returned to Xingyuan smelling of alcohol, the sky was already completely dark. It got dark.
It's already time to apply.
At this time, Shen Yi was already six to seven points drunk.
He would never drink so much before. When Shen Yi drank with others, even with Zhang Jian, he would get drunk at least four to five minutes. With other people he was not familiar with, he could cope with it as long as he could. .
However, during this period of time, he did feel a little unhappy, and he just took advantage of this drink to relieve his depression.
With Jiang Sheng's support, Mr. Shen wandered into his bedroom.
The lamp was lit in the bedroom, and a tall woman wearing a light yellow dress was making the bed in the bedroom.
Mr. Shen looked back and found that Jiang Sheng had not followed. He held the door frame with his hands and sat down on the chair in the bedroom. After spitting out a breath of alcohol, Shen Yi laughed at himself: "It seems that my whereabouts are , it’s indeed not a secret, even Miss Chan’er knows that I returned to Fuzhou today.”
Ye Chan had just made the bed. She walked up behind Shen Yi, gently rubbed Shen Yi's temples with her hands, and then smiled and said: "Others with more magical powers may be able to know your whereabouts, Master. I am different. I bribed a servant from Xingyuan, so I found out that the young master is back."
Shen Yi closed his eyes, enjoying the service of the eldest lady of the Ye family, and stopped talking.
After Ye Chan pressed her temples for a while, she squeezed Shen Yi's shoulders and said softly: "Didn't your business go well in Guangdong?"
Mr. Shen opened his eyes, looked back at Ye Chan, and breathed out another breath of alcohol.
"you are so brilliant."
Ye Chan asked softly: "Master, don't you want me to be smart?"
She moved a stool and sat in front of Shen Yi. By the candlelight, she stared at the young imperial envoy in front of her and said softly: "I will be more stupid from now on."
Shen Yi laughed dumbly.
"I have been away from Fuzhou for the past two months. How is the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce doing?"
"It went pretty well."
Ye Chan said softly: "In addition to the fifteen families that the young master conquered at the beginning, there are already some other Fuzhou merchants who want to join the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce."
"If we continue to operate like this, as long as we are big enough, we will certainly not have to worry about making money in the future."
Shen Yi said "hmm".
"As long as it goes well."
Ye Chan smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Shen Yi's body. She sighed slightly, walked to Shen Yi's side, and pulled Shen Yi's sleeve: "Master, you drank too much."
Mr. Shen shook his head slightly: "It doesn't matter."
Ye Chan supported Shen Yi and said softly: "I'll help you go to bed and rest."
Shen Yi stood up by himself, and with Ye Chan's help, sat on the edge of the bed. He glanced at Ye Chan and asked, "Is Miss Chan'er staying here tonight?"
"Um."
Ye Chan lowered her head slightly and bit her lip: "Others in the chamber of commerce probably also know that the young master is back. It would be better for me to stay here tonight."
Shen Yi was thoughtful after hearing this and looked at the floor of this bedroom.
Ye Chan's face suddenly turned red.
Because there is no more paving on the floor.
In other words, there is only one bed left for the two of them.
Miss Ye lowered her head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "The weather is getting cold..."
"I am afraid of the cold..."
………………
In the blink of an eye, Shen Yi has been back to Fuzhou for three days.
During these three days, he spent most of his time in the apricot garden, and only took one day to go to the governor's Yamen to meet with Cheng Tingzhi.
We should have gone to Fuzhou Wei to have a look, but Fuzhou Wei was on Langqi Island, which was too far away from Fuzhou City. Mr. Shen didn't have any enthusiasm now, so he didn't leave for Langqi Island. Instead, he sent someone to notify Ling Su and asked him to Go into town and see yourself.
However, Langqi Island is still a certain distance from Fuzhou City, and it takes time to get back and forth. Shen Yi can only wait patiently at home for Ling Su to come.
But before Ling Su could wait, Shen Yi waited for another guest.
This guest had fair skin and was wearing an ordinary suit. After he arrived at the gate of Xingyuan, he was quickly invited in by Jiang Sheng, and then met Shen Yi in the living room of Xingyuan.
After seeing Shen Yi, the man immediately bent down, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Scholar Shen."
Shen Yi returned the gift with his hand and said with a smile: "Why are you here, Eunuch Sun? Where did you come from?"
This person is Sun Jin, the eunuch in purple.
Sun Jin lowered his head slightly and said, "Back to Scholar Shen, I'm from Quanzhou Prefecture."
After Shen Yi sat down, he motioned for Sun Jin to sit down and talk. After Sun Jin also sat down, Mr. Shen thought for a while and asked: "How is the situation in Quanzhou Prefecture? Is the Shipping Department going well?"
"Everything goes well. Quanzhou's shipping department has been basically completed and will be operational soon."
Sun Jin looked at Shen Yi and sighed: "Because of this, our family is leaving for Guangzhou."
Shen Yi blinked.
"Eunuch Sun, if I remember correctly, if Quanzhou Prefecture wants to go to Guangdong, it seems that it should go south instead of going north to Fuzhou."
"Our family came here specifically to meet Master Shen."
After Sun Jin took a sip of water, he looked up at Shen Yi and sighed slightly: "More than half a month ago, our family received an order from the palace's Eunuch Gao, asking us to leave immediately after finishing the affairs of the Quanzhou Shipping Company. Go to Guangzhou Prefecture and establish the Guangzhou Shipping Department."
"The things in Quanzhou have been delayed for a while, so I hurriedly hurriedly took my time. Finally, I have finished all the things I should be busy with. A few days ago, our family was preparing to go to Guangzhou, and suddenly we received another letter from Eunuch Gao."
Having said this, he glanced at Shen Yi, and then said slowly: "Scholar Shen, Eunuch Gao has ordered our family to go south to Guangdong with Bachelor Shen as much as possible."
Well…
After hearing Sun Jin's words, Shen Yi understood what he meant.
The big eunuch in the palace should be trying to stop the fight...
He wanted to reconcile the small friction between Shen Yi and the emperor.
Sun Jin lowered his head slightly and said: "Eunuch Gao said that as long as Bachelor Shen returns to Guangdong, he will be easy to talk to no matter who he meets after returning to Jiankang this year."
"Things in Guangdong have almost been finalized. It won't be of much use if anyone goes now."
Mr. Shen shook his head slightly and rejected the proposal.
