The atmosphere of the New Year should be joyful, that is for the vast majority of people, for the Shen family, the beginning of the first day of the new year, with the news of the death of the daughter-in-law of the chief of the long house.

Tian has been sick for more than a year, his body is not as good as day by day, he has seen countless doctors take countless medicines and are not good, the doctor said that he is depressed, but Tian is living very well in the Shen family, no one understands the reason, just after the reunion dinner of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Tian has never woken up from this sleep.

Shen Shixuan only went to worship in front of the mourning hall on the second day of the new year, the eldest aunt Yan was crying very sadly, she was still very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, although she had not yet given birth to her eldest grandson, but she was humble, knowledgeable, and had a good family background, and she was a good helper for her son.

Shen Shixuan bowed to the Tian family three times, whether it was in the previous life or in this life, the sister-in-law still failed to survive this time, leaving the four-year-old daughter to leave, he just vaguely guessed that the sister-in-law suddenly fell ill and had something to do with the eldest brother, but the relationship between the eldest brother and sister-in-law had always been very good before, so he couldn't guess the reason.

The people of the Tian family also came, and it was several brothers of the Tian family who came, and it is said that Mrs. Tian cried and fainted after learning the news at home, and such a young person left like this, and anyone who heard it would be sad.

"Big brother." Shen Shixuan had just come out of the mourning hall, and met Shen Shijin in the corridor, Shen Shijin, who was dressed in white, looked haggard, raised his eyes to look at him, nodded, and walked towards the mourning hall.

Maybe everyone couldn't think of it, and it wasn't that he was very sick, why did he leave suddenly, Shen Shixuan looked back at him, at this moment, he couldn't hate this eldest brother who had just lost his wife.

On the day of the funeral, there were no elders to see them off, the four-year-old Guobao held Tian's tablet in his hand, and walked in front of him in Shen Shijin's arms, followed by a long funeral procession.

Old man Shen stayed in his yard and didn't come out, after returning from the funeral, Shen Shixuan went to see him, and Old Man Shen stayed alone in the Buddhist hall where Old Madam Shen often stayed before his death.

At the door is Steward Jiang.

"I've been in there for a day." Steward Jiang was also worried, and Shen Shixuan patted him on the shoulder, "I'll go in and take a look." ”

Pushing the door in, Old Man Shen was sitting in front of the Buddha hall, holding a Buddhist scripture in his hand, not reading, just staring in a daze.

"I'm back." Without waiting for Shen Shixuan to speak, Old Man Shen pushed away the Buddhist scripture and raised his head to look at Shen Shixuan, Shen Shixuan nodded.

"That girl is also unlucky." Old man Shen sighed and stood up with a cane, "I can't survive the Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

"Sister-in-law doesn't want to." Shen Shixuan followed behind him and said, "You have to take care of your body. ”

"It's you who can't see it, and I can't see it." Old Man Shen walked to the desk where the Buddha statue was enshrined, "Your grandmother also left early, but she is full of children and grandchildren." ”

When Mrs. Shen left, Shen Shixuan was still very young, and she had the impression that she was a very kind and kind person, her grandfather's temper was not good, and her grandmother was not particularly good to her before her death, but after she left, she missed it very much, and some people had some things, and they really had to wait until they lost to figure it out.

"It's just pity for that kid." Old Man Shen sighed again, "If your grandmother is still here, she will definitely be distressed, just how old the child is, the mother will be gone, and Shi Jin will marry again." ”

"With the Shen family here, there are so many people who love her, she won't be wronged." Shen Shixuan comforted, and Old Man Shen shook his head, "These days, I see that your eldest brother may not have the heart to be in the business bank, and there are a lot of things at the beginning of the year, so don't go outside, stay in the business house, and follow your father to learn more, how old are you." ”

"Yes." Old Man Shen gave an iron order, and Shen Shixuan couldn't refute it, Old Man Shen thought about it and said, "You are not young anymore, if you don't marry a girl from the Shui family, you have to marry a girl from another family, hurry up and give this family matter, what age are you!" ”

Shen Shixuan was a little stunned that Old Man Shen was urging him to get married, Old Man Shen looked back and glared at him, he was still a little sad, but now it was gone, and he said in a thick voice, "What, don't you plan to get married?" ”

"It's not." Shen Shixuan shook his head, watching Old Man Shen go out on crutches, a touch of helplessness appeared on his face, let him get married now, that is something that can't be done

Half a month after Tian's death, there was another big event in the Shen family, before the voyage, the Shen family firm suddenly withdrew one-fifth of the order, which directly alarmed the old man Shen and rushed to the Shen family firm, and the Shen family uncle was also very anxious when he looked at the cancelled orders, which had never happened before.

"What the hell is going on, we are going to sail in a few days, and those people are leaving!" Old Man Shen took those lists, one by one, one by one, the amount was not small, and the refund was simple.

"That's it as soon as we come this morning, we don't know what's going on." Uncle Shen is even more confused, the people who will place orders are all merchants who have close contacts, how could they all be cancelled all of a sudden, and there are so many.

"Did you send someone to ask?" Old Man Shen sat down, took the booklet handed over by Steward Jiang and looked through it, and found that these merchants had started to cooperate with the Shen family four years ago, and the exchanges were not bad, and there were no accidents and disputes.

"Shixuan passed early in the morning." Second Master Shen said on the side, and Old Master Shen threw the booklet on the table, "What about Shi Jin!" ”

"He went to prepare for the voyage and hasn't come back yet."

Shen Shixuan came back soon, he only inquired about a few, but the result of the inquiry surprised him, those merchants did not hide at all, and told him bluntly, because the Shen family's grandmother died, so they didn't have to cooperate with the Shen family anymore.

When the old man Shen heard this, he directly slammed the tea cup on the table in anger, and said to the second master of the Shen family, "You go, go to the Tian family and ask me, what's going on, if the granddaughter-in-law dies, it's not the in-laws, do it!" ”

But the news that Second Master Shen brought back was even more unexpected than Old Man Shen, and the son of the Tian family only said this sentence, "Go back and ask your good grandson." "Just drove Shen Erye out.

This one-fifth of the merchants were recommended to Shen Shijin by the Tian family after the Tian family married into the Shen family, which is why Mrs. Shen is so satisfied with such a daughter-in-law, her mother's family is powerful, and she can give her son a lot of help, such a daughter-in-law, even if she doesn't give birth to a son, she doesn't think it's a big problem.

And now the Tian family, regardless of the situation of tearing their faces, directly wants to pull these people back, no longer cooperate with the Shen family, and also said that the old man Shen will ask his grandson directly.

"Since they are not willing to cooperate, then forget it, this time I will buy less goods, Zhennan, this time you go for your son, and Shijin stays in the firm." Old Man Shen immediately ordered.

"Dad, everyone over here is in contact with Shi Jin."

"Then you go and ask your son who you contacted and tell Shijin to go back to Shen's house to find me as soon as you come back." Old Man Shen directly roared, and went directly out of the firm.

"Big brother, do you want to inquire about this matter again?" After being quiet for a while, Second Master Shen said to Uncle Shen, Uncle Shen nodded, "Go and inquire, even if these merchants want to be revoked, there should always be a specific reason, and the Tian family is too unkind to do this!" ”

"Uncle, Dad, leave this matter to me to inquire, you are busy." Shen Shixuan stopped Second Master Shen, "Big brother will be back later, there are so many things to be busy here, let's go." ”

Second Master Shen nodded, and Shen Shixuan turned out of the firm

This news spread quickly, and the Shen family couldn't hide it if they wanted to, and the merchants who were withdrawn were bound to go to other people's firms, and everyone knew that the Tian family had a falling out with the Shen family because of the early death of their daughter who married the Shen family.

People don't know the specific reason, but they can guess a rough idea, it must be that the Shen family is not good enough for her, so they will die of illness, and they will leave at a young age, the Tian family is naturally angry, I sent my healthy daughter to your Shen family, and I also introduced you to so much business and expect you to be kind to my daughter, but what about you, who died of illness directly to take care of her, how can you do it to be in-laws, and it is almost the same to be an enemy.

Chu Yiyao knew that this was because a merchant came directly to the door and hurriedly placed an order, because it was about to sail at the end of January, if these merchants didn't go to find it, their shops would only have empty shelves when the merchant ships came back.

"Uncle Zhong, the Shen family and the Tian family have fallen out?" Even if the daughter dies and the granddaughter is in the Shen family, the Tian family will not do such a desperate job.

"Yes, it should be a fall out when I hear it said from outside, the Tian family has so many shops and properties, they naturally have a way to get those merchants to cancel their orders." Chu Zhong rarely heard of such a thing.

"Then the Shen family should be busy." Chu Yiyao muttered, Shen Shixuan should also be very busy, and his Guanyin sculpture is still in time.

"It's certain that you're busy, but it's only for a while, these things can't move the foundation of the Shen family at all, and the Shen family has a lot of other businesses besides the business house." Chu Zhong smiled, for the Shen family, these were just a moment.

"Uncle Zhong, things are almost arranged, I'll leave it to you first, and I'll go out." Chu Yiyao was a little worried, but decided to go to the Zhuangzi to have a look.

When she arrived at the Zhuangzi, the carving workers had not returned from eating, and Chu Yiyao had not seen Master Bai in the Zhuangzi, so she went around to the backyard to go to the house where Shen Shixuan carved on weekdays.

As soon as he walked to the room, Chu Yiyao heard the sound of cutting wooden blocks, and looked in through the window, a person with his back to the door, holding a carving knife in his hand, and in front of him was a five-foot-tall statue of Guanyin, and the general outline of the statue of Guanyin had been completed.

Chu Yiyao suddenly smiled, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, what was she thinking.

Seeing Shen Shixuan concentrating on holding the carving knife, Chu Yiyao turned around and left quietly, and when he came out of the courtyard, he happened to meet Master Bai who came back, Master Bai smiled, "Shixuan came over yesterday, and he stayed in that house without sleeping all night, Miss Chu is here to persuade him, this kid is too desperate." ”
