With Ye Chan as a "good wife", Shen Yi's life has become much easier.
He wanted to heal the injury on his arm quickly. He would not be able to move for at least a month. With Ye Chan ghostwriting for him, many things would be much easier to handle. Otherwise, he would have to use his left hand alone for some very important things.
Take your time to approve.
The other thing is to change the dressing.
The injury to his right shoulder required regular dressing changes, and it was a lot more convenient to have someone around to take care of him.
The more important thing is to sleep.
Mr. Shen's favorite thing is to sleep in. When he has nothing to do, he will sleep in and don't get up until three o'clock in the morning.
The weather is getting colder and colder. It is naturally a good thing to have someone to help warm the bed and sleep in together.
In the blink of an eye, three or four days had passed since Ye Chan arrived at the imperial mission.
Because the front line was finally quiet, Shen Yi was able to rest for a while, so he hugged Miss Ye and slept in bed.
Ye Chan was used to getting up early and woke up early in the morning, but after waking up, she was unwilling to get up and stayed in bed holding Master Shen's left arm.
"Chan'er left Fuzhou this time, will she go back?"
"go back."
Ye Chan lowered his head slightly, buried his head in the quilt, and sighed softly: "I am still young. If I leave Fuzhou at this time, he will not be able to control the Ye family's family business, let alone the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce.
…”
"Our Ye family's property is not that big. If we give some of it to the other branches, I will be able to have food and clothing for the rest of my life. But the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce was arranged by you, Young Master. I left at this time and someone else took over the Chamber of Commerce.
By then my heart may no longer be towards the Young Master."
Shen Yi reached out and touched her head and said softly: "It's just a Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce. Xu Fu's business is getting bigger and bigger now, so it doesn't matter if he wants it or not. As for the brothers of the Ye family, they can be sent to Jiankang to study..."
He looked at Ye Chan and said softly: "The New Year is approaching. Will I take you home to celebrate the New Year this year?"
The home he was talking about was, of course, the Shen family.
With Mr. Shen's current status, it is a normal thing in this era to have a concubine. No one can say anything about this matter.
Even my father-in-law, Lu Anshi, couldn't use this incident as an excuse.
However, Qingque must be comforted and appeased.
Ye Chan lay in Shen Yi's arms. After thinking seriously for a long time, she shook her head slightly. She looked up at Shen Yi and said, "Master, I want to be of some use to the family, instead of just being raised at home."
"I still have to go back to Fuzhou."
She said softly: "First of all, this is my younger brother. He has no talent in studying. He has worked hard for half his life, so he might just be a good candidate. In comparison, the family fortune is bigger."
"Secondly..."
She whispered: "My old father is still in Fuzhou, and his illness has not recovered yet."
"I still want to do things well in Fuzhou. When my little brother grows up, let him take over the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce. Even if I come into the house then, my little brother will be able to do some things for you in Fuzhou."
Mr. Shen yawned, thought about it seriously, and then nodded: "Okay, I never force people. If Chan'er wants to go back to work on her career, then she can go back."
He looked down at Ye Chan and asked, "When will Chan'er return to Fuzhou?"
Ye Chan's face turned red, she lowered her head and said, "Let me serve the young master for a few more days. At least when the injury on the young master's arm is healed and he doesn't have to write with his left hand, I can go back to Fuzhou."
"At that time, I'm afraid it's almost the end of the year."
At this time, it was already the end of October in the eleventh year of Hong De, and it would soon be November.
It will take a month for Shen Yi's injury to heal. When it heals, it will be the twelfth lunar month. At that time, he can rush back to Fuzhou to celebrate the New Year. It is not impossible to make it back. If he takes a carriage, he will have to travel day and night.
"It's not in the way..."
Ye Chan hugged Shen Yi tighter.
"Even if I celebrate the New Year on the road, I am still willing to do so."
…………
Hongde in early November.
Because the weather is getting colder, both the north and south banks of the Huaihe River have become a lot calmer recently.
After all, this time is not suitable for fighting.
During this time, Mr. Shen has been at the imperial envoy's headquarters in Huai'an Prefecture, handling some daily affairs and communicating with officials from the Ministry of War.
The imperial court attached great importance to the warships of Huai'an Prefecture, and sent Yao Zhun, a member of the Kubusi Division of the Ministry of War, to Huai'an in person to meet with Shen Yi. Shen Yi chatted with him for several days before deciding on the specific number of warships.
Before the spring of next year, the Ministry of War will hand over thirty warships to Huai'an, and before the end of next year, it will hand over another thirty warships to Shen Yi.
There are quite a few of these.
At the very least, it is definitely enough for a garrison of 30,000 people.
There are a lot of things to do when handing over to the Ministry of War. Originally, I had to work hard to establish a good relationship with these people in the Ministry of War, treat guests to dinner, and give gifts to women, so that the materials from the Ministry of War can be delivered in time, but Shen Yi himself is the doctor of the Ministry of War, plus Sheng Juan Zhenglong
, so the negotiation with the Ministry of War went quite smoothly.
That night, when Shen Yi and the foreign minister from the Ministry of War returned to the study room of the Imperial Envoy's office after dinner, Ye Chan was sorting out documents for Shen Yi in the study room.
Seeing Shen Yi coming over, Ye Chan hurriedly greeted him and called him "Young Master" sweetly.
Mr. Shen pinched her cheek, looked at the neatly arranged documents on the table, and said with a smile: "With Chan'er here, I feel a lot more relaxed."
Miss Ye held Shen Yi's arm and coquettishly for a while, then took an inconspicuous document from the table, placed it in front of Shen Yi, and said softly: "Young Master, look at it."
Shen Yi frowned, sat on the chair, and opened the document.
This is a document from a thousand households. The surname of this thousand household is Shen Mingda. He is from the Qian household in the Wei Bing camp in Fuzhou. He has the same surname as Shen Yi but a different clan. He is an old brother in the early anti-Japanese army.
Because of the same surname, Shen Yi had some impressions of him. When he was promoted to Qianhu, he was picked from a group of hundreds of households and appointed him as a trial Qianhu.
Sometimes when superiors promote subordinates, they even look at the names on the list to see if they are pleasing to the eye.
The content of this document is also very simple. It is a document of apology.
The content of the apology is...
This Shen Qianhu accidentally lost the telescope issued to Qianhu by the army. He was so frightened that he searched all over the Qianhu camp, but couldn't find it.
Therefore, he also whipped several subordinates, including two hundred households.
He said in the document that his soldiers might have stolen it.
However, because he couldn't find it and was afraid of being punished by the superiors, he took the initiative to "report" to Shen Yi and asked Master Shen to punish him.
After Shen Yi read the document, he touched his chin thoughtfully, then looked up at Ye Chan and asked, "Chan'er, what does this mean when you show me this?"
This is a trivial matter, not worth making a fuss about.
Because there are more and more telescopes in the military.
It will be lost or even leaked to the north.
It's all expected, it's just a warning, it's not a big deal.
Ye Chan stood on Shen Yi's left hand side and said softly: "Master, there is nothing wrong with this document. It's just that a few days ago, I read the correspondence between the master, the inner guard and the Di newspaper company, and knew that the master was
Someone in the Cha army had an affair with Northern Qi and leaked information about Zhou Qiao’s defense..."
She looked at Shen Yi and said quietly: "There are 20,000 people in the capital, and there are more than 20 thousand households in total. No one has lost the telescope so far. Even the two thousand households who fought bravely in Zhouqiao camp have not lost it..."
"It just so happened that Shen Qianhu was lost."
Shen Yi originally didn't take this matter seriously.
But when Ye Chan said this, Mr. Shen's face twitched.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at the document.
His breathing gradually became faster.
After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Shen slammed the table with his left hand and loudly said: "Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng!"
After a while, Jiang Sheng ran over.
It's not that he is lazy, it's because Ye Chan has arrived and he is far away from the study.
He bowed his head respectfully: "Sir."
Master Shen's voice was hoarse.
"Go and ask Luo Yong to come and ask him to come immediately!"
