Chapter Sixty-Eight: Charcoal Accumulation and Money
Shen Qiyuan originally thought that he would take Shen Anyan to the south to escape the cold, but when Fang told the old lady about this matter at breakfast, the old lady was unwilling.
bluntly said that the family finally had a New Year with Helele, and they shouldn't think about going to the south, and they can go to other places to have fun at any time, but family reunion is best in the New Year.
Shen Anyan and Shen Qiyuan glanced at each other tacitly, and Shen Qiyuan nodded yes. So the matter of traveling to the south was put on hold for the time being.
Although Shen Qiyuan and Shen Anyan were in the Shen family in Kyoto, one resigned at home, and the other had less and less communication, the two of them had nothing to do for a long time, so they thought about whether to do something together.
On this day, Shen Qiyuan met Rong Zhi in the Wuning Pavilion, although he was idle at home, but Rong Zhi took over the matter in his hands, because Rong Zhi was his old department, so he was still used to come to him to discuss something. What's more, he always has a lot of discomfort when he first starts with affairs, so he has been very frequent in Wuning Pavilion these days.
Shen Qiyuan was listening to Rong Zhi complaining about the affairs of the government, which were complicated, and it was better to go to the battlefield to fight.
Shen Qiyuan smiled and comforted Rong Zhi: "This is the prosperous scene of peace in the world, where did you come from so many battles to fight, you should also be familiar with these political affairs." When I got to the court, it was a bloodless fight. ”
Rong Zhi was paralyzed by Shen Qiyuan and lamented: "Now I finally know how difficult it is for you, General." ”
Shen Qiyuan is now not receiving an official position and not wearing armor, so there is a lot less conquest between Gu Pan, and at first glance, he has the taste of an idle noble son in Beijing. I saw Shen Qiyuan order a cup of tea for Rong Zhi, handed it over and said, "Now that you are the general, these are not easy, and you can only carry them yourself." ”
Rong Zhi suspected that Shen Qiyuan deliberately piled these messes on his head.
"Sooner or later, you have to come back," Rong Zhi laughed at Shen Qiyuan while sipping tea, "It's not that you don't know the current situation." It's just stealing half a day's leisure. ”
Shen Qiyuan nodded, the green pine and bamboo-like figure disappeared from sharpness, and only some distant aura remained: "If you can steal a few days, a few days." After all, you want to help me keep an eye on the movements of the DPRK and China. ”
Rong Zhi put down the teacup: "Don't worry, now the wind is just right, although most of the courtiers still write to hope that you will come back as soon as possible, but there are also some people who jump to their feet, thinking that you are disobedient to the king, and regard the ministers as nothing, and the dismissal of the official is light, and you must not rise again." ”
Shen Qiyuan knew exactly what Rong Zhi meant, if he really begged His Majesty to let him return to the court, it would cause His Majesty's disgust. Now that the wind is good, it is enough, and the rest of the people will also speak. The impeachments he had ever received could fill the table, as long as His Majesty was willing to trust it.
Shen Qiyuan saw that it was almost time for Shen Anyan to come, so he thought about having to eat with Shen Anyan: "It's almost time to eat, I won't leave you, I'm going to eat with the third girl." ”
Rong Zhi showed grievances on his face, and sure enough, after having the person he liked, he didn't even care about his brother.
"I also want to eat the food cooked by the three girls, anyway, the evaluation of the three girls in Beijing is still the direction of the wind guided by me, general, you are not even willing to invite me to eat."
Shen Qiyuan pushed him away: "Please please, when the time comes, you go to the Zhenyu Building, and please eat as much as you want." ”
Rong Zhi was pushed out of Wuning Pavilion, and happened to meet Shen San's girl. Shen Anyan didn't know the details, and beckoned Rong Zhi to eat together, but unfortunately Rong Zhi looked at Shen Qiyuan's eyes, but in the end he just shook his head, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, thinking that he would get the treasure in the mansion and go bankrupt to destroy Shen Qiyuan's food.
When Shen Qiyuan was having dinner with the three girls here, because it was a private banquet between the two, he didn't care so much about food and sleep, so he chatted about some trivial matters while eating.
The warmth between the two people seems to have eaten together countless times like this, and the tacit understanding between each other is very good, and it is beyond the ability of others to insert it.
Shen Anyan remembered that after the New Year Festival this year, the winter cold was far from the previous years, so that the price of charcoal rose, and charcoal was expensive in Beijing for a while. Shen Anyan thought that since Shen Qiyuan was at home, although he was no longer an official, his expenses were not less than in previous years, and in the long run, it would always be unfavorable to the Shen family and Shen Qiyuan.
is always thinking that if he can help Shen Fu make more money, he will earn more. After all, since Shen Qiyuan said that he would rely on her more in the future, she couldn't let Shen Qiyuan down. Although Shen Anyan also knew that most of these words were meant to joke with her.
It's just that she is always willing to take it seriously, if she can do more things for the Shen family and Shen Qiyuan, Shen Anyan will also be happy.
It was Shen Anyan who said to Shen Qiyuan during the banquet: "I see that the weather is not very good this year, I am afraid that the cold in Beijing will be heavy, so I can prepare some charcoal fires." ”
Shen Qiyuan nodded: "The charcoal fire has been prepared a long time ago, and I will prepare more every year, for fear that it will not be enough." ”
Shen Anyan thought for a while and then proposed to Shen Qiyuan: "I think that this year is far different from previous years, so I want to take advantage of the current charcoal price is still low, hoard a batch of charcoal in Zhuangzi, and then if the charcoal in Beijing is short, then change it." ”
Shen Qiyuan knew that she was thinking about how to run the Shen family's Zhuangzi, and she always sighed in her heart for Shen Anyan's hard work, so naturally there was no reason not to support Shen Anyan: "Naturally it is very good, I believe in the vision of the third girl, but do you need me to help collect some charcoal?" “
Shen Anyan didn't expect Shen Qiyuan to agree so simply. This matter was not a trivial matter, because she did not have a suitable source, she could only briefly mention it first, but even such an indetailed speculation, Shen Qiyuan agreed without thinking.
Shen Anyan touched his earlobe, which was a little red, and said with a slight bow: "Uncle is willing to help, naturally it is the best." ”
So the two discussed in detail about running a shop and a grange and buying and selling charcoal to make a living, Shen Qiyuan supported it, and Shen Anyan couldn't help but let him think about it carefully.
Shen Qiyuan laughed at her for not having the guts: "What is this, since the third girl sees the opportunity to make money, why worry about other people's thoughts, just do your best." ”
Shen Anyan thought, am I worried about what others think? I saw that you said everything well, nodded yes without thinking, and felt that you were afraid that you would be deceived by someone if you did business like this. There are no pants left.
However, Shen Qiyuan's support made it not too convenient for Shen Anyan to do things, and it was originally inconvenient for the female owner to talk about business, but now that Shen Qiyuan sent someone to intervene, it was much simpler.
Shen Anyan was grateful, and added two more dishes to Shen Qiyuan's cooking, which made Shen Qiyuan, who was at home, eat more abundantly than before.
