The appearance of the Wen family's caravan made the people in Liang Guogong's mansion live a better life. Of course, these were bought with a lot of money.
Just because they were merchants, the escorting officers were not too defensive. They were not involved with the nobles in the court, so they could collect this money.
The reason why he dared to treat Liang Guogong like this was because there was news from above that Liang Guogong was in doom this time and wanted to make a fortune, but Liang Guogong was not upright, so he was so angry that he tried to punish them.
How can he still be so arrogant when he is beheaded at Caishikou?
The Wen family's caravan followed not far away, nominally under the protection of the army, so there was no need to worry about robbers on the way, and the money given to the army was protection money.
Yuan Rui protected him secretly and did not dare to relax. His uncle would have lost half his life even if he did not die on his way back to Beijing. His heart ached dullly. The emperor was so cruel.
Capital.
Wen Yao received the letter from the caravan, and the worry in her brows has not gone away. She wonders whether Liang Guogong's mansion can escape this disaster. Although the truth of the past life has been revealed, everyone in the Duke's mansion has died. Even if he recovers,
You have a good reputation, but if the person is gone, what’s the point?
She had tried her best and left everything to fate.
She wanted to prepare for the Huangshang election, put aside the affairs of the Duke's Palace for the time being, and concentrate on teaching Wen Yu about things in the shopping mall.
"Miss, the head of the Shen family is here."
"Shen Changfeng? What is he doing here? Please come in."
The visitor was a guest, so Wen Yao tidied up her clothes and went to the living room.
Wen Yu glanced at her. Every time the eldest sister went to meet the head of the Shen family, she was a little nervous. She didn't treat the prince of the county prince's palace so seriously.
Wen Yao couldn't help but be nervous. Shen Changfeng was so intelligent that she couldn't figure it out, and he was so powerful that she had to guard against him.
"Master Shen, that gust of wind brought you here. You are such a rare visitor!"
Wen Yao smiled and sat in the main seat. Wen Yu stood behind her. Wen Yao pointed to the seat next to her: "Sit down."
Wen Yu glanced at her unexpectedly and sat next to her with some restraint.
Shen Changfeng is in his early thirties. He is the most energetic man. He has lost his youthful frivolity and is the most charming. Although he is not handsome, he is wise and calm. He looks like a knowledgeable scholar and a philistine without a businessman. His face is always full of charisma.
He has a humble and gentle smile that makes people feel good.
"You've been quite busy recently, what's wrong? Have you given up on the competition with the Royal Merchants?"
Wen Yao smiled slightly: "Where did you start talking about this? Where did I give Master Shen such an illusion?"
Shen Changfeng looked at her carefully, the complexity flashed away, and then he returned to his smile, "You didn't quit, why did you break off the engagement? This is not like your behavior."
Wen Yao's face darkened: "This is my private matter and has nothing to do with the Shen family leader, right? If you have something to say, we are all busy people, so there is no need for such idle things."
Shen Changfeng laughed: "If I said I just wanted to come and see you, would you think I'm very idle?"
"It's not very leisurely, it's very leisurely."
Wen Yao's face was expressionless, what on earth did this person want to do?
Shen Changfeng looked at Wen Yu again, shook his head and said, "Are you going to delegate power to your younger brother? With all due respect, I'm afraid your younger brother won't be able to support the Wen family."
"No one can take on a big responsibility from the beginning. They all work their way up step by step. I believe my brother can do it. However, Mr. Shen, if you don't do anything bad, my brother will do better."
Wen Yu lowered his head and intertwined his fingers, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart. Was he that unbearable?
Shen Changfeng smiled and shook his head: "Am I that bad in your heart? You don't have the time to deal with him."
"Thanks in advance."
Wen Yao serves tea, this person is a bit strange today, what's the point of talking such nonsense?
Shen Changfeng saw that she wanted to see off the guests, so he stood up and said, "It would be unwise for you to interfere in the Li family's affairs. I am also interested in some of the Li family's business. If you don't want it, I won't be polite."
Wen Yao said in surprise: "You want to add insult to injury to the Li family?"
"This is not adding insult to injury, but taking advantage. I'm surprised that you don't take advantage. Do you just sympathize with Miss Li? There are so many unfortunate people in the world, how can you sympathize with them?"
Wen Yao's face turned ugly: "This is my own business. Head Shen's family is engaged in shipping. If you don't live at sea, you will be wronged."
This was a mockery of his lenient management, which made Shen Changfeng laugh again, "Goodbye, I'll see you at the Ministry of Internal Affairs in three days."
"Go slowly, I won't send you off."
Wen Yao watched him leave, showing a hint of worry.
"Sister, what does he mean?"
Wen Yao sighed: "I don't know either. Forget it, leave him alone. If you encounter Shen Changfeng in the future, stay away from him. This person is not easy to mess with."
Wen Yu hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but said: "Sister, I think he treats you differently. Does he treat you...?"
Wen Yao just thought it was funny, "How is it possible? Shen Changfeng has countless wives and concubines, what can he think about me? You must be overthinking it. If you have this intention, it is better to look at the accounts more and take down the shopkeepers as soon as possible. Managing such a large family business is not an easy task."
"I remember, then I'll leave first."
"Well, go ahead and take care of yourself and don't be too tired."
Wen Yu felt warm in his heart. His eldest sister still cared about him, and he was moved and said: "I understand, eldest sister, you should also rest early."
He was still a little worried. They were all men. He could see that Shen Changfeng must have thoughts about his eldest sister, but the eldest sister didn't want to admit it. Her marriage was difficult, but this Shen Changfeng was not a good match.
Wen Yao didn't take Shen Changfeng seriously. He was always so talkative, his actions were hard to predict, and his network of contacts was vast. She couldn't compare to him.
I have to admit that women are not as convenient as men in many things. If Wen Yao were a woman, she would definitely not be inferior to Shen Changfeng.
Shen Changfeng mentioned the Li family, which made Wen Yao feel troubled. He wanted to touch the Li family, but the Li family was in danger, and he was helpless.
After thinking about it, I wrote a letter and sent it to Li Ying to put the Li family on guard.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day to select the imperial merchants. Wen Yao had dressed up early and was waiting for Wen Yu to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs together. However, when Wen Yu came over, Nuan Nuan actually followed him.
Wen Yao's face darkened and she looked at Wen Yu coldly. The meaning was obvious. What do you mean?
Wen Nuanzhen said: "Big sister, I have grown up too. I want to help you share your worries, and I also want to follow you to gain more knowledge. Big brother promised to take care of me. I promise not to cause trouble or talk too much. Big sister, just take me with you. Okay, okay?"
Su Qiuyue followed over and said: "Wen Yao, Nuan Nuan wants to help the family. You should be happy to be my sister. Just let her follow you. Let the big shots see how smart Nuan Nuan is in our family. sensible."
