The opening of Shengfeng Commercial Bank attracted not only the old customers of the Shen family commercial bank in the past, but also people who were interested in the things placed in the various shops under the commercial bank.

Shen Shixuan chose a price that was more acceptable to the public according to the purchase list discussed with Shen Er, which can be recognized by the vast majority of people in Jinling.

By May, the things brought back by the merchant ships had basically been sold out, except for the remaining ones in the shop, Shen Shixuan sorted out a booklet, which was a comparison between the thirty or so kinds of goods that came back from the purchase, those that sold well, those who had stronger competitiveness than it in Jinling, and those who were not liked.

In the end, Shen Shixuan and Shen Er Ye finalized the goods to be imported on the next voyage, and the types were reduced by a full half.

Perhaps because of the opening of this Shengfeng Commercial Bank, the Crescent River Market, which was originally deserted due to the evacuation of the Spring Manlou and the gambling house, gradually became lively in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

Shengfeng Commercial Bank has opened a lot of shops around it, extending to the end of the Crescent River Market, there is also a newly opened Qingle Fang, which is the same as Chunmanlou is a place for guests to drink and chat, enjoy singing and dancing, and Chunmanlou is different in that the girls there are not selling their bodies.

People who have been there say that the girl there is much more beautiful than the girl in the spring building, and this can not be eaten, which is not an attraction for men.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace of Kuwatian was completely completed.

Bai Wang Ye has been here for four years, he has not been back to Luoyang once, and finally completed the construction of the palace successfully, and Chu Yiyao was also fortunate to follow Shen Shixuan to Sangtian to take a look.

It was originally a vast field with a palace rising from the ground, which did not look magnificent from the appearance, and the whole palace gave her the feeling of nobility and atmosphere.

With the refreshing atmosphere of the distant mountains and the natural formation of this mountain, it is a natural self-cultivation habitat.

At this time, Bai Wang Ye had already returned to Luoyang City to resume his life, Chu Yiyao looked at the huge palace gate from afar, calculate how long the imperial concubine can live in this palace on this day, the palace that took four years to build with countless silver taels will eventually be vacant, maybe one day after a long time, this will be given to a certain prince and nobleman as a reward, this is the royal family

Back in Jinling, Chu Yiyao went to Shen's house to see Old Man Shen, Old Man Shen was teasing the two newly raised starlings in the yard, and the two starlings who were parked on the shelf saw that someone was coming, flapping their wings and arching towards Chu Yiyao, screaming, "Old man, there are guests, old man, there are guests." ”

Chu Yiyao couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing, "Grandfather, who raised this starling, it's so ignorant!" ”

Old Man Shen didn't mind them being called that, picked up the fruit in the palm of his hand, and the two starlings took the fruit from his palm and continued, "Thank you, old man~"

Steward Jiang took the shelf away, and Old Man Shen motioned for her to sit down, "How can you come here when you have time?" ”

"I just came back from Sangtian, and the white prince has set off to return to Luoyang, grandfather, have you received a letter from the imperial concubine, and she has come here to recuperate." Chu Yiyao thought about it for a while and still tried to ask Old Man Shen, Old Man Shen was stunned, and looked at her with a touch of inquiry in his eyes, "How could you think of this." ”

Chu Yiyao didn't hide the understanding in her eyes, "This palace was originally used for the imperial concubine to recuperate from her injuries, but now that the palace is completed, is it just like that?" ”

Old Man Shen did receive a letter from the imperial concubine, which was sent several months ago, but there was no mention of the palace.

Half-loud, Old Man Shen sighed, "Imperial Concubine, I'm afraid time is running out." ”

Chu Yiyao looked up at him, and Old Man Shen had a sore face, "She has survived for so many years, I don't have the face to continue to ask her to live." ”

Between the imperial concubine and the Shen family, Chu Yiyao only heard something from Shen Shixuan, and seeing Old Man Shen's expression, Chu Yiyao was silent and did not speak.

"Girl, this Shen family will depend on you and Shixuan in the future." Old man Shen also saw it, no matter what the name of the business house is, who is in charge, as long as the surname is still Shen, this family will still continue, they are all his children and grandchildren, what is the difference between the big house and the second room.

"The 200,000 taels of silver that my grandfather invested at the beginning, I and Shixuan will return it to you in the future, there is nothing wrong with our surname Shen, but this Shengfeng Commercial Bank has nothing to do with the Shen Family Commercial Bank." Chu Yiyao made it clear that how the business bank develops, Old Man Shen does not have the right to call the shots and meddle.

Old Man Shen smiled, "Girl, I know that you have a lot of eyes, the 200,000 taels should be regarded as my compensation to you, I am the one who stepped into the coffin with one foot, do you want the silver to accompany the burial, now you beg me to take care of it, I don't want to care." ”

Chu Yiyao smiled and did not deny it.

Coming out of the courtyard of Old Man Shen, Chu Yiyao saw Shen Shijin who came out to breathe, and behind him was an entourage pushing a wheelchair, the person in the wheelchair, not to mention the scum on his face, his expression was decadent, and he felt a little sloppy wherever his eyes fell.

bumped into him in person, and it was not good not to say hello, Chu Yiyao shouted with a smile, "Big brother." ”

Shen Shijin looked up at her, a touch of disdain flashed in her eyes, and a hoarse voice came, "Who did I say, it turned out to be my brother and sister." ”

From the time he fell down the hill to the present, Chu Yiyao saw him for the first time, even now he looks embarrassed, he still hasn't changed at all, as if the whole world owes him, with a cynical face, his temper has become more and more tyrannical for most of the year, and he can't get along at all.

"Big brother is getting better." Chu Yiyao took a look at his legs, more than half a year has passed, why hasn't he recovered yet.

Shen Shijin hummed, "Didn't you see it, it's really fake compassion like the second brother, and it deserves to be a husband and wife." ”

Regarding Shen Shijin's weird appearance, Chu Yiyao didn't want to deal with it, "True mercy or false mercy is up to the eldest brother himself, I'll go first." ”

Chu Yiyao stepped past him, and Shen Shijin's voice came coldly, "You snatched this Shen family, are you still satisfied?" ”

Chu Yiyao showed a smile on his face and looked back at him, "Satisfied!" How can you not be satisfied! If you are like this all your life, I think we will be more satisfied, I don't know if the eldest brother can fulfill our little wish. ”

After speaking, Chu Yiyao strode towards the gate, ignoring the insults coming from behind

In October, as in the previous life, not long after the establishment of the palace, the imperial concubine went to Jinling to recuperate, because she was afraid that the trek would not be good for her body, and this mighty team still took the waterway.

After more than two months of waterways, we finally arrived in Jinling, which was already January of the following year.

Chu Yiyao and the others are not qualified to go to pick up the driver, Bai Wangye is escorting the imperial concubine over this trip, there are many affairs in the court, and the emperor stayed in Luoyang and did not come.

It is the road from the wharf to Sangtian, the road has been cleaned up a long time ago, heavily guarded, no one is allowed to watch, and violators can be immediately beheaded.

These were all in order not to disturb the imperial concubine who was in poor health, and Chu Yiyao only heard the sound coming from the passing team in the courtyard.

If she were the emperor, she would definitely not agree to her favorite woman coming here to recuperate after such a long journey, so the request to come back to the palace must have been made by the imperial concubine herself, Chu Yiyao somewhat understood the heart of the imperial concubine, she had been in the palace for half her life, and at the last moment, she just wanted to go home and see.

The arrival of the imperial concubine set off a bigger wave in Jinling, it was a woman who had been favored for twenty years, but they hadn't even seen a corner of her clothes.

A month after the imperial concubine arrived at the palace, late one night, the old man Shen of the Shen family was taken to Sangtian, and Chu Yiyao only learned the news two days after the old man Shen was picked up.

Lord Shen and Second Master Shen are still happy, the imperial concubine personally received the old man Shen, there must be something good, only Chu Yiyao and Shen Shixuan know that the imperial concubine's days are numbered.

Seven days later, Old Man Shen was secretly sent back late at night, Chu Yiyao and they were all waiting for him at Shen's house, and Old Man Shen looked tired when he came back, which made Master Shen, who was originally full of expectations, a little puzzled.

Old Man Shen looked at these people, and finally shook his head and went back to his yard without saying anything.

Chu Yiyao had a bad premonition in her heart, and she always felt that something had happened in the palace.

Three days later, the white prince ordered Lord Li to announce to the whole Jinling, the imperial concubine, all shops are not allowed to open for business within a month, and there are no wedding events within a year, the streets and alleys are all white silk hanging, and there is silence everywhere without noise

Half a year later, Old Man Shen died.

After the death of the imperial concubine, the old man Shen couldn't afford to be sick, and before he died, he saw all the juniors one by one, and before the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion in mid-August, he left peacefully.

There was a lot of grief in the Shen Mansion, the white prince actually concealed the true time of the death of the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine left with a smile in the arms of the old man Shen, and the old man Shen said before leaving, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, more than 20 years, this time he has to accompany his daughter and have a reunion dinner with her underground
