Chen Shimei arrived outside the palace gate, and after waiting for a while, a small yellow gate came to the palace gate and took him in.

Following the small yellow gate, passing through the Chongzheng Palace, and arriving at the imperial study at the back, Chen Shimei saw the official Zhao Zhen.

"Chen Qing, you came to see me in the palace at this time, but is there anything wrong?" Zhao Zhen asked with a pleasant face.

Seeing that the official family seemed to be in a good mood, Chen Shimei suddenly sighed and said, "The minister wants to ask for leave and return to his hometown." ”

Zhao Zhenyi frowned and said: "Chen Qing, at this time, the Spring Festival is approaching, and the happy event between you and the princess is approaching, how can you return to your hometown." Your hometown is not less than 2,000 miles away from the capital, and this time you go once, at least a month or more than a few months, isn't it a missed time. ”

Chen Shimei wants this effect, instead of asking the official family to get married early, it is better to retreat as advance.

"It is precisely because the minister wants to pay for the horse that I think of returning to my hometown to sweep the sacrifice in front of the tomb of my ancestors." Chen Shimei cried bitterly: "Although the minister has no family, he can't be filial piety. Therefore, he asked for the grace of God, and the quasi-ministers returned to their hometowns to worship their ancestors. ”

The official Zhao Zhen is a benevolent and soft-hearted person, and when he saw that Chen Shimei was so sad, and he was filial piety for his ancestors, he had sympathy.

"Chen Qing don't cry, I was negligent and failed to understand Chen Qing's feelings." Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be comforted, frowned and thought about it, and said, "Since this is the case, then you and the princess will be married as soon as possible." After you get married, you go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors. Moreover, marrying a family with the royal family to worship the ancestors as a captain of the horse can also make the neighbors envious and add glory to the Chen family. ”

Chen Shimei pretended to be surprised, and looked up at the official Zhao Zhen, "Official, this can't be helped." The princess is a golden leaf and a jade leaf, how can she marry me in such a hurry? If the princess is wronged, it is the sins of the minister. ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about it, Chen Lin, you go and check which day is auspicious in the past two days." ”

Chen Lin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Qiqi official family, the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day for marriage." Moreover, there are many people who are married. ”

This yellow calendar has long been remembered in Chen Lin's mind, and the official family usually asks about it.

After listening to Chen Lin's words, Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then we will get married the day after tomorrow." The Ministry of Etiquette will do it, avoid red tape, everything is simple, and don't be extravagant. ”

Chen Lin glanced at Chen Shimei and said, "The official family, Princess Huanyu is the younger sister of the official family, so is it a little embarrassing for her." ”

"It's true that she has been wronged, but it's nothing, and I will reward her more in the future." Zhao Zhen sighed: "Chen Qing is also a piece of filial piety, and he can't be disappointed. Compared with the two powers, it is nothing for the princess to be committed. ”

After listening to the words of the official, Chen Lin went to make arrangements.

Chen Shimei hurriedly thanked him and said: "The official family treats the minister, just like the reincarnation of the minister's parents." There is nothing to repay, please accept the ministers! ”

Boom, Chen Shimei kowtowed three times. In his heart, he can't say what it's like now, he just feels sorry for the official family. But I have my own difficulties, so I have to do this. As for what the official family would do if they knew that they had been deceived in the future, he didn't dare to think about it.

Early the next morning, Zhou Feng came to Fan Yu's Anle Hou Mansion. Seeing this high-door mansion, Zhou Feng didn't dare to step forward and knock on the door, for fear of disturbing the Hou Ye's dream and being hated.

It wasn't until Wang Xiaoding opened the door of the mansion that he saw someone waiting outside the gate.

"This butler, I'...... You are ......" Zhou Feng had met Wang Xiaoding, but his impression was a little vague.

Wang Xiaoding had a better memory, and when he saw Zhou Feng, he suddenly said, "It's Brother Zhou, I've seen you." ”

The two chatted for a few words, and Zhou Feng explained his intentions. Wang Xiaoding led Zhou Feng in to see Fan Yu.

When Zhou Feng saw Fan Yu, Fan Yu had already packed up and was about to go out.

"Brother Zhou came just in time, if you have breakfast, let's go to the shop and have a look." Fan Yu said with a smile.

"I have already used it when I was waiting outside the mansion just now, so the owner doesn't have to be polite to me." Zhou Feng hurriedly waved his hand.

Fan Yu nodded, and ordered Wang Xiaoding to take the store paperwork and go out with the two of them.

The three of them went out of the house and turned onto the cross street, turned south, and went straight to the shop on the earth bridge in the east of the city.

Although this shop is a grain store, it is not small. said that it was a shop, but it was simply a yard on a neighboring street, and it was added up inside and out, and I am afraid that there would be about two acres of land.

Fan Yu and the others arrived at this shop, but they just signed up, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted them.

After asking for the paperwork to read, the old shopkeeper said to Fan Yu: "The villain has seen the Hou Ye, and the Eight Kings have already sent someone to tell us to guard the store." When Hou Ye comes, we must wait for Hou Ye's dispatch at any time. These days' accounts, the villain is not missing, if the Hou Ye wants to see it, I will take it. ”

Fan Yu looked left and right, "I'm not busy looking at the accounts, I just ask you, is the business of this grain shop okay?" ”

"Master Hou said with a smile." The old shopkeeper said with a smile: "The land of the capital will not dare to lack food at any time, it is not easy to make money, but it will not lose money." When the Eight Kings had this shop, they only wanted to maintain it. ”

Zhou Feng interjected at this time: "I see that there are more palaces around, if you do some incense business in temples and palaces, I think it will be necessary to make some money." ”

"Those monks are not doing a good business, these guys, at every turn, they are empty-handed, or they are cursed and calamitous. I, the shopkeeper who sells grain, have also been told by them that the hall is dark several times, and there is a bloody disaster almost every few days. Shouldn't a monk look down on things outside the body and devote himself to helping others and accumulating virtue for good? Is there such a thing as a curse for the sake of riches? The old shopkeeper said helplessly: "If you want to ask him to do something to eliminate the disaster, it will be a waste of money." ”

Although the old shopkeeper spoke babblingly, it can be seen that he was also deeply affected. Fan Yu couldn't help but shake his head, not only was it like this in the Great Song Dynasty at this time, but there was no change in the later generations.

"It seems that the business of these temples and palaces is not easy to do." Fan Yu said with a smile.

Zhou Feng didn't expect this to be the case.

I haven't shown my skills in front of the owner today, but I am a little embarrassed.

"The business of monks is not easy to do, and the business of those good men and women is not easy to do." Zhou Feng shook his head and said: "Presumably, there are already many incense and candle shops in this left-hand area, and this road is not passable." If you do some big business, you can also make money. I just didn't think about what to do. ”

Fan Yu laughed, "This matter is not in a hurry, although the grain shop here does not make much money, it is better to be stable." Today is just to take a look, and the next day will talk about other things. ”

After reading this, Fan Yu and the three of them went to the shop in the west of the city again. Coincidentally, the other shop is not far from the western workshop of the Ordnance Factory.

The two sides are only a few dozen feet apart, but they are really close. In addition to being close to the West Workshop, it is also not far from the East and West Workshops.

Looking at this shop, Fan Yu looked at the western workshop again, and couldn't help but think of something.

"Owner, if there is a grocery store here, it will definitely not be bad." Zhou Feng hurriedly said: "This place guards the western workshop, which is an excellent location. If you give some money to the craftsmen in Nasi's workshop, you can buy a lot of good utensils. These things made by the Ordnance Factory, made of sufficient materials and finely made, are all durable. When ordinary people hear about it, they will rush to it. ”

Fan Yu glanced at Zhou Feng, you are my corner, but you want to dig another corner of my wall, isn't this all digging your own corner.
