Chapter 28: Shen Tang is worried and meets Mu Yu for the first time
Baijinlou moved very quickly. After reaching an agreement with Shen Tang, within a few days, they spent a large sum of money to build a piece of wasteland of dozens of acres outside the south of the city.
Some people were recruited to remove the weeds and level the land. Although the internal workshop has not yet been built, high walls around it have already been erected.
"Shop Manager Yao, I have told Shen Ming how to build the workshop, including the method of refining the fairy dew. It is up to you two to decide what happens next." After looking around in the empty courtyard, Shen Tang saw He said to shopkeeper Yao on the side.
Shopkeeper Yao nodded and smiled at Shen Ming who was behind Shen Tang.
"Cousin Shen, don't worry! I will do it with my heart and will never embarrass Cousin Shen." Shen Ming's face showed excitement and gratitude.
In the past few days, Shen Ming would stay with Shen Tang whenever he had free time, and Shen Tang had no reservations about him. He told him everything about building the workshop, how to keep it secret, and how to operate it, including the 'secret recipe' Shen Ming.
Of course Shen Ming knew how much Shen Tang valued and trusted him. So the secret recipe was worth more than tens of thousands? Shen Tang told it without reservation? You know, this is almost entrusting all his wealth and life to Shen Ming's hands.
At this moment, he only had one thought, that is, even if he lost his life, he must keep this business with Shen Tang, so as to live up to Shen Tang's trust.
As for his mother, Shen Ming is not even worried. With Shen Tang taking care of her at home, and her sister-in-law not being a domineering person, it will definitely be easier for her than in Shenjia Village.
"Brother Shen, my lady will arrive in Shanyin County tomorrow. At that time, I also invite my brother to come to Baijin Building to sign documents between both parties."
Shopkeeper Yao said again.
Shen Tang nodded in agreement, and then returned home.
Shen Ming was helping with the business, and his third aunt and Xiao Zhu'er were taking care of the house. For a while, Shen Tang felt like he had nothing to do.
However, Shen Tang will not really be idle. Now, as long as this business continues smoothly, the money will be enough for his own use in the future. But in addition, there is a big mountain looming on Shen Tang's head. That is , Chasing the Japanese Army!
Shen Tang did not know the details of the strength of the Japanese-chasing army, but the frontier army that could become an army on its own should not be underestimated.
The only thing that gave Shen Tang some peace of mind was that, judging from the last situation, the Japanese-chasing army was not in a big way. In other words, the force that the Japanese-chasing army could mobilize was also limited. Especially in Shanyin, the place where it was governed, even if I'm afraid the Japanese-chasing army wouldn't act recklessly.
However, this does not mean that Shen Tang can sit back and relax.
With Shen Tang's strength, it is no problem to fight three or two people, and he can resist against four or five people, but if there are more, even if Shen Tang tries his best, he will be unable to do anything in the face of absolute power.
However, with Shen Tang's current status, it is simply wishful thinking to have a force of his own.
"Alas! We can only plan slowly." Shen Tang sighed in his heart.
Back home, the third aunt had prepared a sumptuous meal and was waiting for Shen Tang to return.
"My husband is back? Girl Zhu, go and heat up the food for us to eat." Liu Xiangling said to Xiao Zhu'er.
Shen Tang held Liu Xiangling's hand and said to the third aunt and Liu Xiangling: "Why do you have to wait for me? If I come back later, won't you be hungry?"
Liu Xiangling shook her head, "My husband is the head of the family, so naturally he has to wait."
When the third aunt saw Liu Xiangling acting like this, she was secretly happy for Shen Tang. In fact, although Liu Xiangling had a good appearance, the third aunt had somewhat looked down upon her before. After all, a farmer's wife had no hands on spring water, and she had What's the use? But now, after learning about Shen Tang's net worth from his son, his thoughts have changed.
In the third aunt's opinion, given Shen Tang's current status, it would be a bad idea to marry a farmer.
Xiao Zhu'er and Third Aunt warmed up the food. After several people had eaten, Third Aunt went to rest. Liu Xiangling also took Xiao Zhu'er and fled into the house apologetically.
However, in the past few days, the master and the servant were in the same room as before. Liu Xiangling's face was tender and she hinted at Xiao Zhu'er several times, but she didn't know how to say it. Xiao Zhu'er had almost forgotten that the current young lady was someone else. wife.
Shen Tang was okay with this, he just smiled and went to the side room to sleep alone.
On the morning of the next day, the boy from Baijinlou came to invite her, and Liu Xiangling also wanted to take Xiaozhu'er with her. The third aunt went to the street to buy some. So they went out together and separated when they reached the street.
Shopkeeper Yao had been waiting at the door for a long time. When Shen Tang arrived, he led him directly upstairs. However, this time he passed through the second floor and went directly to the third floor.
At the door of the third floor, the maid named Yun'er gave a slight blessing and led Shen Tang to enter, but shopkeeper Yao turned around and left.
The hall is extremely luxurious, with velvet carpets covering the floor. Right in front is a square rosewood table. On top of the round table, the tea cups and teapots from Ru Kiln are more like works of art. Behind the square table, there are various treasures in the Treasure Pavilion. Shen Tang can be sure that this is definitely not a fake.
On the right, a maid screen blocks the view, while on the wall on the left, there is a calligraphy poem with elegant writing. The words are good, but the source is unknown. The poem is a good poem, but Shen Tang is familiar with it.
The content of the calligraphy is exactly four sentences in Li Bai's "Xia Ke Xing".
"Kill a person in ten steps, leave no trace for a thousand miles, dust off your clothes when you're done, hide yourself and your name."
However, these few lines of poetry are incompatible with the atmosphere in the room.
"How's this poem?"
A voice suddenly sounded! Shen Tang raised his eyebrows slightly. If Liu Xiangling's voice was as clear and melodious as a bird, then this voice was as refreshing as the spring water.
"Poems are naturally good poems, but what the Song Dynasty needs is not knights, but generals with ten thousand enemies." Shen Tang responded slowly.
"Are you Shen Tang?"
Shen Tang turned around and saw a woman in a pink skirt coming out from behind the screen. Looking at the appearance of the woman, who was probably only twenty-eight years old, a pair of eyes like deep springs were locked on Shen Tang.
"Exactly!" Shen Tang responded with his hands raised.
Turning her eyes, the girl's eyes also fell on the calligraphy, "This calligraphy was once a game between me and a sister. At that time, I asked her how this poem was. Guess how she answered?"
Shen Tang shook his head slightly.
Just listen to the girl continue: "Her answer is the same as yours! Moreover, she also said that she will marry the general in the future and stay with him life and death."
Shen Tang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that his random answer would lead to such a coincidence.
"It's just that the poems are still the same, but there is no news about my sister!" The girl sighed softly, then her expression turned calm, and she bowed to Shen Tang: "My little girl, Shao Muyu, the owner of Baijinlou, has met Mr. Shen. !”
