Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Promise
Zhao Shi hurriedly helped people get out of the car and walked quickly into the weeping flower door.
Shen pulled Wan Ning out.
Wan Ning saluted Zhao's, and Zhao's hurriedly said: "I knew that I was in such a hurry, I should have come over earlier, I almost couldn't deliver it." ”
Shen Jingqi's face was secretive, and he went to see Old Lady Shen and Wanning from time to time.
"Alright, alright, let's go." Mrs. Shen Si urged.
Shen nodded, "Lest you let the Yao family's carriage and horses wait," after speaking, he returned the bracelet in his hand to Wan Ning, "This is given to me by your grandmother, and you wear it." ”
Mother has no long body, and the only thing she can give her is this bracelet that she wears with her.
Wan Ning stepped forward and hugged Shen, "Mother must listen to her daughter's words and take care of her illness, and grandmother must also take care of her mother." ”
Wanning and Shen separated, and Tong's mother took a few girls to serve Wanning in the car.
Sitting in the carriage, the carriage began to move slowly, Wan Ning lifted the curtain and looked back, the carriage turned direction, and she could no longer see her grandmother and mother.
Sending Wan Ning and Mrs. Shen away, Mrs. Shen let Shen help her into the hall, and Shen Jingqi also sat down in the room.
Old Mrs. Shen comforted Shen a few words, looked at the people in the house, "Let's stay and eat with my old woman, the second child will escort rice and grain to the frontier to exchange salt in a few days, and our family will not have many days to reunite." ”
The old lady talked about his trip to the frontier, that is, she would not use him to go to Beijing.
Shen Jingqi was a little surprised.
Old Mrs. Shen just saw the clue and smiled, "Second child, what are you looking at me for?" ”
Old Lady Shen's voice just fell. The steward came in and said, "Old lady, Zhu San has come back to talk." ”
The steward brought Zhu Laiwu into the house.
Zhu Lai Wudao: "Old lady." Everything is ready, and when Mrs. Fourth and Miss Yao Qi return to Taixing, we can also carry it, and we won't miss anything. ”
Old Madam Shen listened to her jaw, "Be careful, you have always done things properly, and the fourth master handed over this matter to you." Do not travel for business. ”
Zhu Laiwu lowered his head, "You can rest assured." ”
Shen Jingqi was confused when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask. "What did the old lady say? What do you want to carry to Taixing? ”
Old Lady Shen looked at Zhu Laiwu, and Zhu Laiwu said with a smile: "It's a city brick, carry the city bricks from Yizhen to Taixing." ”
Carrying city bricks?
How could you suddenly move the city bricks.
Shen Jingqi was stunned, what is this going to do? What does Wanning want city bricks to do?
Shen Jingqi said: "Our family has donated city bricks this year. Why buy it. ”
Zhu Laiwu smiled. Old Lady Shen also covered her mouth and smiled, "They all say that you are very ghostly, why don't you understand today, what kind of city bricks are donated in a good manner, we are divided ships to transport city bricks, since we follow the ship of the imperial court to the capital, we must act according to the rules of the imperial court, and bring the things ordered by the imperial court." ”
Follow the imperial court's ships to Kyori. Where does this begin?
What the hell is going on, if you can bring the city bricks. Then it is not uncommon to bring some of your own cargo on board.
In other words, Wanning's tea could be transported by boat in an open manner, and he thought that Wanning would come to beg him.
When, Wanning opened this joint.
How could this kid know so much, not only ordered the ship, but also bought city bricks in Yizhen, and thought about the whole thing so thoroughly.
Zhao also vaguely heard the whole thing clearly, and couldn't help but glance at Shen Jingqi complainingly.
Seeing his wife's gaze, Shen Jingqi's face suddenly turned red, and it seemed that only his wife knew what he was thinking in the whole room, but in fact, the old lady would not not understand, so she would laugh at him like that.
He thought that Wan Ning would come to beg him, who knew that it would be such a result.
"In a blink of an eye, the children are all older," Mrs. Shen said and stood up, "I still remember that your brothers often came to play when they were young, and the three brothers were punished for kneeling at night because they caught a cricket and fought, and the little guy stole food for you, and when I went over with the old lady, your brothers happily talked and ate at the same time, and when there was no food, they used steamed buns to dip in vegetable soup, and at that time the old lady said, although you did not come out of the same room, just like brothers, even if you fight again in the future, you don't have to kneel in the ancestral hall." ”
Old Lady Shen continued: "After the old lady died, the Shen family's business plummeted, now is the time for brothers to work together, and we must not make trouble because of any gossip......
Old Lady Shen looked at Shen Jingqi kindly, "I know you are working hard, I am not looking at Wanning about the shop in the capital this time, I asked the shopkeeper to calculate, and taking the shop out will make us take a breath, but what will we do in the future?" The old lady brought the shop into Beijing with great difficulty, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should not give up, we all say that it is difficult to keep the business, we are now not only to keep the business, but also to make the Shen family prosperous, so that the entire Shen family can have food. ”
Shen Jingqi's head hung deeply, he had a heavy burden on his shoulders in the past two years, and everyone around him said that he was better than the fourth brother, he reprimanded on the surface, but in his heart he still felt that he was indeed wronged, so he became arrogant.
If he had thought about it and come to discuss it with the old lady, it wouldn't have been like this.
It was he who was wrong.
"Old lady, I was wrong." Shen Jingqi stood up.
Mrs. Shen said: "It's good to know that you are wrong, and you will have to discuss more between brothers in the future, now that the Shen family is so difficult, if you make trouble yourself, this family will be defeated." ”
"You said that Wanning is an outsider, Master Yao San has an official position, after taking a leave of absence from Chenniang, the Yao family is even more embarrassed by the Shen family everywhere, Wanning can go from the Yao family to the Shen family to see me and your sister, if this is spread out, it will definitely be punished by the Yao family, a young lady in the inner house, not even afraid of this, but you don't want to think about whether what she said makes sense, but tit-for-tat."
The old lady's words hit him one by one, and Shen Jingqi felt more and more that he had no face to stand here.
"Think about it carefully, if Wanning doesn't care about the Shen family in her heart, why should she help the Shen family get out of trouble, she was scolded by Mrs. Yao in Taixing because of the Shen family's affairs, and she was almost sent to the family nunnery, if you still want to wronged her with such a child, I will be the first to disagree."
Shen Jingqi was stunned, "It's me who is wrong." ”
"Even if she wants to make money selling tea. You, who are an uncle, should help her, not to mention that Wanning is for the Shen family, and besides, she is not messing around. And your fourth brother followed, you don't even believe your fourth brother? ”
This is the crux of the matter, he doesn't even believe Shen Jingyuan.
The old lady said directly what was in his heart.
Shen Jingqi didn't know what to say, thinking of the situation when he was proudly waiting for Wan Ning to come to the door to ask for help at home, he felt ashamed, as if he had put the ugliest side of his heart out for everyone to see.
He really shouldn't have been. looked down on Wanning, and it was himself who was despised in the end.
is really concerned about the Shen family's business, and he should follow the shopkeeper to calculate the accounts these days. Instead of waiting to see the joke of the long house.
That's why he stood here speechless.
Which is right and which is not, a discerning person can understand it at a glance.
Shen Jingqi only felt that his mouth was dry.
Mrs. Shen said: "Go back and think about it, whether my words make sense." ”
Shen Jingqi pursed his lips, he had always looked down on the Yao family. obviously took advantage of the Shen family, but in the end, he kicked the Shen family away. Since marrying the Yao family, the Shen family has suffered a lot, and the two families should not have interacted with each other anymore, but the Yao family seized the card of Wanning and embarrassed the Shen family everywhere.
He is a kind-hearted and soft-hearted fourth brother, and he shouldn't be held by the Yao family like this, so as long as it is the Yao family, he will attribute them to traitorous villains. He always felt that Wan Ning came to the Shen family at the behest of the Yao family.
Wan Ning mentioned the shop in the capital, which is also what the Yao family has always wanted. So when he heard about it, he was furious.
Happily came to the long room to teach Wanning a lesson.
As a result, he was the one who was taught the lesson, and he stood here, unable to say a word except to admit his mistakes.
It was he who was wrong, he really had no face.
……
Cui Yiting stood and watched the grain being loaded into the ship one after another.
Chen Bao kept going to see his second master, the sun was shining, the second master's ice slag face melted, and some smiles appeared, which was also strange, the second master's temperament suddenly changed, no longer a rich and idle man, and suddenly became interested in food, especially when he came to Taixing, as long as he saw the grain, his eyes lit up, just like every time he was hungry, he sometimes felt a little worried, whether he served too much, and passed the hunger disease to the second master.
"Did you tell Miss Yao Qi that we are about to leave?" Cui Yiting commanded lightly.
"Said," Chen Bao just finished speaking, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the little guy of the Shen family who often came and went, and pointed his finger over, "No, it's already here." ”
Zhu Wenwen walked a few steps quickly and saluted Cui Yiting.
Cui Yiting said: "Miss Yao Qi's things are ready?" ”
Zhu Wenwen smiled, "Ready, our young lady instructed to show the list to Cui Erye." "It's not easy to prepare this list, he hasn't slept well for several days, I don't know what will happen to Second Master Cui when he sees it.
Zhu Lai smiled and handed over the list.
Cui Yiting opened the list with his hand.
In addition to the miscellaneous items to be brought to Kyoto, there is also tea.
"Tea?"
"Yes," Zhu Laiwen smiled heartily, "Our seventh lady said, and these teas." ”
The birds chirped on the branches, fluttering and flapping their wings, Chen Bao blinked, not knowing what was going on, the second master stood there, as if he was a bird trapped in a cage, although he still looked radiant, majestic, and graceful, he still had a trace of miscalculated surprise, and raised his eyes to look at the people outside the cage.
"Where's your young lady?" Cui Yiting raised his head and said suddenly.
Now it's time to discuss it with Miss.
This Master Cui is a talent, and he can't lose his trust in others.
These are the exact words of Miss Seven.
Zhu Wenwen felt in a good mood, "My young lady is coming back." ”
Cui Yiting put the list away, "I'll visit the Shen family tomorrow." ”
……
rushed back and talked to the second grandmother for a while, and Wan Ning lay on the bed.
Outside the house, there was the sound of birds.
Wanning coughed, and the rain outside hurriedly came in with the lamp.
"Does the young lady want to drink tea......
Wan Ning shook her head, "Isn't it a little cold outside?" Get the birds back! ”
Falling rain responded.
I don't know if the temperature in the house is more comfortable, and the birds make two gentle calls, and then they quiet.
Wan Ning couldn't help laughing, she didn't expect this bird to be quite squeamish.
When she saw this bird, the bird in the cage tilted her head and looked at her with black bean-like eyes, and that kind of look was very similar to Cui Yiting, and she thought what kind of bird the owner really raised.
Cui Yiting is very smart, but his eyes are above the top and he is too proud, so it's okay that he won't deny the words that come out of his mouth.
Only by grasping his weaknesses can she get her wish.
One return and one report, this is the last business she and Cui Yiting did, and when they arrived in the capital, they would go their separate ways and no longer have to be courteous.
……
Cui Yiting closed his eyes and could calculate the number of ships he used.
"Second master, on weekdays, a boat carries more than 400 stones of grain, and the ships carried on weekdays are not enough, and now a large number of grains have gone north, and what we want to transport is only these ships found from Nanzhili, without the ships that transport grain on weekdays, we are all requisitioned civilian ships, civilian ships are not as good as official ships, and there is not much grain that can be transported.
"Why do you have to discuss with the Shen family, either you bring less things, or you won't be able to take a boat."
Even if it was the staff here, no one knew that he was going to send Miss Yao Qi.
Miss Yao Qi's request, he agreed early in the morning, how could he regret it.
The shallow and deep waterways are different, and the weight of the boats cannot be turned quickly, and when it is too late, the evidence cannot be transported back, and when the river freezes, it will stagnate halfway.
There is no need for the staff to say this, he also knows it in his heart.
Cui Yiting suddenly had a smile on his face when he thought of this, he was really put on a show by Miss Yao Qi.
"Why bother."
Another aide said, "Just don't bring it." ”
The room was filled with opposition.
"Stuff with me." If he says it, don't want him to take it back, and there is no reason to regret it.
"Second master, you still have to think about it."
Cui Yiting stood up and walked straight out of the study, and Chen Bao hurriedly followed.
Since it was what he had promised, there had to be a solution.
"Early tomorrow morning, you go to Shen's house with me."
……
Fourth Master Shen was about to go to Beijing, and the courtyard of the Shen family was full of busy people, and boxes of things were ready to be placed in the house.
Shen Jingyuan invited Cui Yiting into the house, he never thought that this patrol imperial history would one day come to the door of the Shen family.
Shen Jingyuan saluted Cui Yiting.
Cui Yiting sat down at this time, the room suddenly became very quiet, Shen Jingyuan is not very good at talking, and he doesn't know how to speak officially, if there is usually a relationship with the elders, he can also cater to say a few words, but when he thinks of the box of baked cakes, he feels uncomfortable, who knows what this Lord Cui is thinking in his heart.
This kind of opportunity to meet will not come well in the future.
The two of them sat for a while, and there was a sound of gentle footsteps outside, Cui Yiting raised his head and saw a figure, wearing a light cyan skirt and holding a birdcage in his hand, and walked over with Tingting.
