Shen Jingjing curled her lips and said, "Brother, you are becoming more and more like dad now. Dad is more relaxed than you now."
Shen Fei smiled and twirled the imperial green ring on his hand, "That's because dad is not too busy now."
If you are not a family member, you will naturally not offend others.
Along the way, there were playing and playing, and firecrackers were going off. It was more lively than a wedding, and the carriage moved extremely slowly. It took a long time when we arrived at the gate of Shen's mansion.
The sun has gone to the west, and the sunlight shrouds the two white marble lions in front of Shen's mansion, as well as the precious chrysanthemums and begonias around them, giving them a bit of nobility.
It doesn't make people think that this is a merchant's home, but it is not inferior to those from noble families in the capital.
Because there is an inscription written by the emperor, the Shen family has a high status. This gate is not an ordinary merchant's house. It is a Guangliang gate built according to the specifications of a third-rank official.
Normally, due to their status, they can only build a golden pillar gate, but now it is a Guangliang gate, which is only first-class compared to the palace gate.
Naturally, it was the honor given to them by the late emperor. Although they could not be officials, they were able to be number one in the business world and had contributed a lot to the Great Zhou Dynasty. They were naturally worthy of commendation.
It can be said that starting from the previous dynasty, without the Shen family, Jiangnan's economy would not have developed so rapidly, and in disaster years, droughts and floods would not have been so thoroughly rescued.
Because of the Shen family, there have been no major problems in the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River in the past two years. Because there is enough money to repair the rivers, there is no need for the court to scrimp on food and clothing and to prevent those silverfish from stealing money. When the three million taels of silver in the rivers are reached, there will probably be enough left. The next three achievements are pretty good.
Not even 30%.
With the Shen family's investment and the Caobang's efforts, the two families worked together to solve many of the court's urgent needs.
Therefore, the Shen family has its current glory.
Although he is not an official, even if he is the governor of Zhejiang, he will get off the sedan chair and salute the old man when he sees him.
Therefore, what the Shen family has more authority than the governor here is the law in the minds of the local people.
Huangfu Jin and Su Mo's men got out of the carriage. Someone from the Shen family had already stepped forward and put down the horse stool. A brand new red carpet was spread on the ground, extending to the inner courtyard covered by double doors.
Mr. Shen, Shen Fankong, was wearing a brocade robe. Although he was over fifty, he was full of energy and looked like he was only in his forties.
His face was red, he stroked his beard and smiled softly. As soon as he saw Huangfu Jin and Su Mo get out of the car, he immediately cupped his hands and clasped his fists, stepped forward, and shouted, "Oh my, you are a distinguished guest, you are such a distinguished guest!"
