Chapter 127: The Golden Seal
At the same time that Shen Shixuan went to the southern countryside, in the courtyard of the old man Shen of the Shen family, Shen Shijin was looking at the old man in a wheelchair with a gloomy face, "What about the little golden seal,"
Old Man Shen tilted his head to look at him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he only made a sound and didn't say anything. (Flower Good Pastoral ML/3/3266/IML)
Shen Shijin looked at the row of cabinets on the inside of the bed, he had already looked for what he could find, but he didn't find Old Man Shen's small golden seal.
"Grandfather, what are you worried about handing over this home to me, even the little golden seal is hidden, do you want to leave those things alone," Shen Shijin paced back to Old Man Shen and sat opposite him, "Grandfather, where did you put the little golden seal?" ”
The Shen family started from doing business, and every head of the Shen family will have a small gold seal in his hand, and many major events in the Shen family's business need this seal to work, and when the next heir is determined, the head of the family is to pass the small gold seal to him, and then the Shen family's business affairs will be decided by the next person, and when he comes to the old man Shen, he has not taken out the small gold seal for a long time.
Shen Shijin didn't think about making one, but those seals were meant to be knocked in front of those old stewards, and they couldn't tell if they were real.
Steward Jiang disappeared and couldn't find anyone, so he could only start from Old Man Shen, and such an important thing would never be lost.
Old Man Shen's eyes were full of annoyance, and he stretched out his finger at him with a slight tremble, his face flushed and angry.
"You still count on the second brother, he has pushed everything to my father and me, you have taught me since I was a child, this family will be handed over to me in the future, let me work hard, why, now you regret it?"
Shen Shijin looked at him angrily, but there was a smile on his face, this Shen family, this business house, after all, will be his, and no one can take it away.
With a snap, Old Man Shen's hand slammed the tea cup on the table on the side, and the cup shattered to the ground, but Shen Shijin just looked at it calmly, "If grandfather doesn't tell the whereabouts of the little golden seal, then the grandson will have to tell the stewards that the little golden seal is gone, and build a new one." ”
Old man Shen grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair with both hands and bumped it, Shen Shijin smiled, what if the person vomited blood in anger, what if he had a stroke, who can prove it...
When Shen Shixuan arrived in the southern village, it was already evening, and the white steward was really remote.
When the sun went down, there were still many busy people in the fields, Shen Shixuan got out of the carriage, followed the people who saw the white steward and walked towards the village, and arrived in front of an inconspicuous farmhouse courtyard, where there were still two people hiding in the corner, and they had been monitoring the courtyard to prevent people from seeing each other again.
Shen Shixuan arrived at the door of the courtyard, two children ran out of the house, chasing and playing, one of them saw Shen Shixuan at the door, and he was not afraid of life, and asked loudly, "Who are you!" ”
Shen Shixuan smiled kindly, "I'm here to find someone." ”
The boy glanced at him, and spoke to the child behind him, and after a while, the child looked at him and said, "I don't have anyone you are looking for here." ”
Shen Shixuan was stunned and laughed, is this something that has been taught a long time ago, but whenever a stranger comes to find someone, they all say that there is no such person.
Shen Shixuan said patiently, "I haven't said who I'm looking for, so you know that there is no such person?" ”
Where can a child withstand such a twist, the two children can't turn around at once, and one of the little ones looks at him timidly, and before he can say anything, he actually cries out with a pout.
Shen Shixuan and a few others were stunned.
Soon a woman ran out of the other room, and saw the child standing there wailing and crying, holding her in her arms and coaxing her.
The kid kept pointing at Shen Shixuan and them, his little face full of grievances.
"Who are you?" The woman asked the older child to lead her sister into the house, and looked at Shen Shixuan and them with some vigilance, Shen Shixuan was helpless, he didn't look like a good person, he could scare the child into crying.
"I want to ask, do you have a person named Jiang Lu here?" Shen Shixuan always felt that the woman was a little similar to Steward Jiang.
The woman shook her head, "I don't have this person in my family, you are looking for the wrong one." ”
was rejected so simply, Shen Shixuan was not surprised, how could it be so easy to find if he wanted to hide, so he said to the woman, "If you see this person named Jiang Lu, please tell him that a person named Shen Shixuan is looking for him and has something important, tell him that Old Man Shen has a stroke and can't speak now." ”
The woman looked at him strangely, Shen Shixuan didn't stay long, and after the corner of this courtyard, he ordered two people to stay here and continue to watch, and the rest were brought back to Jinling.
It was late at night when I got home.
Chu Yiyao coaxed Kang'er, who had been playing around for a day, and when she saw him come in, she ordered the peacock to prepare the bath water, "Why don't you stay in the nearby town for one night." ”
"It's useless to stay, Steward Jiang didn't come back so soon." Shen Shixuan took off his coat, "I see that peasant woman and Steward Jiang are a little similar, maybe they are relatives, this Steward Jiang has been with my grandfather for so many years, we didn't know that he still had a family, and we always thought he was alone." ”
"Grandfather doesn't say how you know, if Steward Jiang pays attention, he must know about Grandfather's illness." The husband and wife analyzed to the end, and felt that Steward Jiang's departure had something to do with his grandfather.
After getting into bed, Shen Shixuan made a decision, "I'll go again the day after tomorrow." ”…
Without waiting for Shen Shixuan to leave, the next day Shen Shijin summoned all the stewards to go to the Shen family firm, and when Shen Shixuan arrived, the huge hall of the firm was full of people, and the various stewards were also confused, what was the purpose of summing so many people over.
It didn't take long for Shen Shijin to come down from the second floor, followed by a few old stewards of the Shen family, and when he arrived in the lobby, Shen Shijin motioned for everyone to be quiet and began to speak, "I called you here today because I want to discuss a few things with you. ”
Everyone quieted down, Shen Shijin paused and continued, "Grandfather has been ill for many days, and he can't be a director for the time being, so he handed over these things to my father and me, a few days ago, I learned that the little gold seal from my grandfather is gone, because my grandfather can't talk or take things now, I have no way of knowing the whereabouts of the little gold seal, and Steward Jiang is not in the house, so I came to you today to discuss the matter of rebuilding the little gold seal." ”
Shen Shijin's words only mentioned one sentence of Steward Jiang, and the two stewards beside Shen Shixuan guessed the connection between Xiao Jinyin and Steward Jiang's disappearance, Shen Shixuan looked at Shen Shijin with a smile on his face and understood the meaning of his words.
No matter where the little gold seal is, it is now going to be rebuilt, and in order to avoid unexpected situations in the future, it directly misleads everyone, making everyone guess that it was the Jiang steward who took the little gold seal.
"What do you think?" Shen Shijin saw everyone discussing and asked for advice.
"Big young master, if the original little golden seal is not there, this re-creation will be different from before." One of the stewards expressed his concerns, this golden seal was a big deal, and it seemed inappropriate to make this decision without Old Man Shen being present.
Shen Shijin shook his head, "This seal must be the same, it's just that it looks different, you can rest assured." If you don't build a new one, many things of the Shen family will be dragged out and can't continue, and my grandfather's illness is a big matter, and the affairs of this business house are even more important. ”
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't make a decision, and some people looked at Shen Shixuan's side, it was the second young master of the Shen family, so he had to say something.
"The rebuilding of the Golden Seal has never happened before, big brother, is it too hasty to do this." These things came so strangely, Shen Shixuan began to doubt the motives of the eldest brother, "Moreover, the little golden seal has always been a personal collection of the grandfather, and it is impossible to lose it, but now the grandfather just can't speak, and he is not delirious, how can he not tell the whereabouts of the little golden seal." ”
The only explanation that Shen Shixuan explained was that his grandfather didn't want his eldest brother to know where Xiao Jinyin was, in other words, he didn't want him to be in charge of these things.
Shen Shijin looked at Shen Shixuan condescendingly, the smile on his face had not yet dissipated, "Second brother, you don't know what your grandfather is doing now, if your grandfather doesn't speak, these many things will have to be put on hold, a few tea merchants only came half a month ago, but without the small golden seal, the matter of new tea next year will not be decided." ”
"There is no need for the little gold seal for these few things, they are not unreasonable people, and it is not the first time to do business with the Shen family, so they have to be entangled in the gold seal, but I think they are very strange, big brother, don't you say?" As soon as Shen Shixuan's words came out, several stewards nodded in agreement, and it was not the first day of business, is there no exception under special circumstances, and the Shen family is not begging them to do business.
Shen Shijin's eyes narrowed slightly, "There is a reason why they are entangled, after all, the rules have always been in the past, and now in this situation, more things are better than less things, and when my grandfather recovers, this other golden seal can be abolished, what do you think." ”
Shen Shijin's voice carried a faint sense of oppression, those who agreed were on his side, and those who disagreed were those who supported the idea of the second brother.
There was silence in the lobby.
When it comes to the dispute between the two young masters, none of them want to get involved, and no one wants to be the first to make the choice.
"Since you don't speak, you agree with what I said." A smile rose at the corner of Shen Shijin's mouth, and everyone continued to be silent.
"Why don't you agree with what I said?" Shen Shixuan immediately interrupted his words and took two steps forward to meet his gaze.
Shen Shijin looked at this younger brother who had repeatedly blocked him, and snorted, "This Shen family can't be your turn to call the shots." ”
Shen Shixuan just smiled and said gently. "I'm just suggesting to the eldest brother, and I can't control the eldest brother's thoughts, let alone call the shots." Shen Shijin saw that his words changed, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said, "Since you know that you can't influence other people's thoughts, you shouldn't talk so much nonsense. ”…
