"This... The kid really didn't dare to say anything," Yang Bo hurriedly replied.

"Don't worry, children should be straightforward, don't learn from us old guys, so you can't hear half the truth, hahaha." Ji Shun also laughed playfully.

Shen Jizhi was asking the question, Yang Bo had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "I heard from the eldest lady that Steward Wu has a son named Wu Jin, who owes gambling debts in Haizhou and was kidnapped. Wu Jin and Tong Da met, and it was Tong Da who chiseled in the middle.."

Yang Bo paused, peeked at Shen Jizhi, and saw that he was reviewing the game of chess, so he continued: "Wu Yuanqing was bewitched by Tong Da and made a big mistake, but he was to save his son, which is understandable. The uncle is kind-hearted, so he might as well redeem the Wu Jin from the creditor. However, Wu Yuanqing's crime was unforgivable, and after the Wu family was reunited, the Wu family was expelled from Shenjiabao as a punishment. ”

Shen Jizhi said with a smile: "What the virtuous nephew said is also what the old man thinks, Ji Shun, I think that's what I do." Ransom Wu Jin back first, let Qin Shao in Haizhou do it, and when Wu Yuanqing's father and son are reunited, they will be allowed to leave Shenjiabao for a limited time. ”

Yang Bo didn't expect him to say this casually, Shen Jizhi actually accepted all the orders, which made Yang Bo a little overwhelmed, but the nervousness and uneasiness when he came came was a lot of relief.

Yang Bo flattered: "The boy heard that his uncle is a hero of the world, and his righteousness is thin and cloudy, and today I see that my uncle treats the Wu family as benevolent and righteous, and he also has a chivalrous and tender side. ”

When Shen Jizhi heard this, Ji Shun on the side couldn't help laughing, and said: "Good boy, not only is he good at chess, but his ability to slap horses is not bad." ”

"It's not bad, in my opinion, the skin is thick, this kid says second, and no one in Shenjiabao dares to say first." The shopkeeper also joked.

Everyone laughed for a while, Shen Jizhi raised his hand and pressed down, and said, "You two are at your own convenience, Yang Bo, you push me out for a walk." ”

As soon as I went out, I saw the old pine, the trunk was rough, like a layer of iron cloth purple scales, the branches were rampant, and the pine needles were verdant.

Shen Jizhi sat in a wheelchair, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the West Mountain, the sunset had just disappeared under the undulating outline, and above the West Mountain, the sun was shining.

The wind rose, the huge crown of the old pine shook a few times, the branches and leaves made a sound of squeezing, and Yang Bo felt a chill all around.

Shen Jizhi said with feeling: "It's going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye, Qing'er will come back from Haizhou, and at the end of the month, he will leave for Jiangnan to transport grain." ”

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn grain in various places has been prepared, it is the season for Shenjiabao to transport grain to the south, Lei Jizi told him that grain trafficking is one of the three major livelihoods of Shenjiabao.

Shen Yanqing's southward trafficking of grain should have been planned a long time ago, but Yang Bo didn't know why Shen Jizhi mentioned this to him.

"Yang Bo, Yiming has been following you in the stone temple for some time, in your opinion, is it possible for his condition to improve?"

Shen Yiming's situation, Yang Bo asked Ma Daochang, Ma Daochang said that he may be an autistic person, and he is not sure, Yang Bo can be sure that Shen Yiming is not an idiot, his intelligence is normal.

"Uncle, in my opinion, Yiming can't say that he is a patient, he can understand what others are saying, he is just..." ”

"Window to the Soul.." Shen Jizhi muttered to himself, and said: "In this way, over time, Yiming can also speak and laugh like ordinary people?" ”

Yang Bo shook his head and said, "This... It's hard to say, it's been too long since Ichiming didn't speak. Seeing that Shen Jizhi couldn't help but be disappointed, he said: "It's not completely impossible, I'm trying to talk to him in sign language, uncle, please rest assured, one day, Yiming will definitely be able to communicate with people normally." ”

The bright light that had just flashed in Shen Jizhi's eyes dimmed again, and he was speechless for a while.

Yang Bo pushed Shen Jizhi to a small pavilion, Shen Jizhi motioned for Yang Bo to stop, took fish food on the bench, and scattered it to the pond at his feet.

Suddenly, the fish swarmed and scrambled, and from time to time the fish slapped the surface of the water and jumped out, and the calm pond suddenly exploded like a pot, and the water splashed and churned.

"Do you think these fish are happy?" Shen Jizhi seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Yang Bo.

“....”

Shen Jizhi sighed with emotion: "Even if the fish are happy, they can only go around in this small pond, although the Shen Mansion is big, it is just a pond, Qing'er would rather sail out to sea than stay at home." The old man envies you young people. ”

"Uncle, Qing'er is still young, how can I compare with you, I think back then, you went to the East China Sea, the power of the Quartet, the sky is high and the birds fly..."Yang Bo complimented, but unexpectedly, Shen Jizhi immediately waved his hand to stop it.

"Don't talk about those useless things, Qing'er went out to ship grain this time, and I hope you will also go south with the ship." Shen Jizhi said.

Yang Bo was stunned and said, "Uncle, I am very willing to go to sea with the eldest lady, but the stone temple is also a mess now, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." ”

Shen Jizhi threw fish food into the pond and said lightly: "I asked Ji Shun to help you, going south to transport grain is not like going to Liaodong, you need to go to the ocean to sail, but to go to the sea off Ningbo, and it only takes ten days to go back and forth." ”

Yang Bo was shocked when he heard this, the shopkeeper probably told Shen Jizhi everything that happened in Deyue Tower, and if there was still that match, Shen Jizhi's eyes naturally knew what it meant.

He was just trying to make a splash, but now it seems that he is really superficial.

Yang Bo suddenly felt desperate, Ji Shun went to the stone temple to control the secret recipe in the hands of the Shen family, this is a robbery.

But what can Yang Bo do? is in Shen Jiabao and is targeted by Shen Jizhi, can you still tell him that intellectual property rights are not successful?

Shen Jizhi glanced at Yang Bo and said, "Young people are too impulsive, they have to practice more, otherwise they don't know that disaster will come that day." ”

Yang Bo felt a chill down his spine, and listened to Shen Jizhi say: "The old man knows that you have a little secret in the stone temple, and Ji Shun is here to help you keep the secret." The money is yours, and he cannot touch a single one. ”

Seeing that Yang Bo was silent, he said again: "I said, if you make meritorious service at sea, you will be rewarded for your meritorious service, this is the rule of the Shen family, go back, I have something to reward you." ”

Yang Bo complained in his heart, does this Shen Jizhi want to treat him as a member of the Shen family? Yang Bo, who came from later generations, thought that he was an independent individual in his heart, and he didn't want to be a member of anyone's family.

But people in Daming, they can't help themselves.

Yang Bo pushed Shen Jizhi back to the small building, Shen Jizhi explained, Ji Shun left his seat, and soon held a pair of chess sets in both hands.

Shen Jizhi said: "This chessboard is made of half-foot-thick mahogany, the chess pot is made of grapevines from the Western Regions, and the chess pieces are the best clouds. The old man is still reluctant to use it once, seeing that you are a chess lover, I gave it to you. ”

Ouch, Yang Bo was surprised, in his previous life, he dreamed of getting a good chess set, it was too expensive to buy, but at this moment, he got it in this way, and Yang Bo's mood was also very complicated.

Yang Bo carefully took the chess set, placed it on the coffee table, and touched it up and down the chessboard with one hand, which felt extremely comfortable. The chess jar is elegantly lacquered, emitting a faint and dark light, and when you get closer, you can still smell the faint fragrance of the grapevines, this chess set is definitely a superb work, extremely precious.

Shen Jiyi watched quietly, Yang Bo is really a chess lover, and the chess equipment is obtained by him, and it can be regarded as a sword gift to a hero.

Whether it's a hero or a bear after all, that's up to you.

Yang Bo was at a loss, so he quickly took a deep look and said: "The kid just happened to be at the meeting and kept an account for a few days, this chess set is too valuable..."

"The elder gives, don't resign, don't shirk soon." Shen Jizhi intercepted the conversation, pretended to reprimand, paused, and said: "Yang Bo, I have high hopes for you, I hope you can be a good chess player in the future, understand?" ”

Yang Bo was in a trance for a while, but nodded blankly and said, "Understood, understood." ”

This is really a wordless ending.

Until he walked out of the gate of the Shen Mansion, the street was already lit up with thousands of lights, and the smoke was curling.

Yang Bo was still pondering every word Shen Jizhi had said, and from Shen Jizhi's point of view, Shen Jizhi's approach was understandable, Shen Jizhi was the soil emperor of Shenjiabao, and of course he wanted to control everything.

The shopkeeper and Yang Bo went out of the Shen Mansion together, and he was very leisurely and happy.

Yang Bo was about to say goodbye to the shopkeeper and parted ways, but he heard the shopkeeper say, "Follow me." ”

"Where to go?" Yang Boqi said.

"Go and rent Huaixiang Pavilion, the owner has promised all the shops in Erli Lane, no matter what they are, they will share the profits according to 20% of the net profit, and don't hurry up to do it, so as not to have too many dreams at night."

Yang Bo was stimulated too much today, and he didn't care about it, so he rushed to Erli Lane with the shopkeeper, and on the way, the shopkeeper did not lose his trust, and took five hundred taels of silver tickets in Deyue Building, handed them to Yang Bo, and waved Yang Bo to go to Huaixiang Pavilion by himself.

When I arrived at Huaixiang Pavilion, I found Zhou Dacheng, handed over the silver, signed the contract, and the contract was in duplicate, and one copy had to be handed over to the Shen Mansion for the record, and the sublease was completed.

Yang Bo took the contract in his arms, and this store will be his from tomorrow onwards.

Thinking that Zhou Dacheng may still not know that the commission policy of Erli Lane has changed, he can't help but feel ashamed, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhou, let's have a drink?" ”

Zhou Dacheng shook his head and said, "Young Master Yang, I have also heard about your affairs in Deyue Tower, and the new hot pot will definitely succeed, congratulations." ”

"Oh.." Yang Boqi said: "Shopkeeper Zhou, where do you say this? ”

"Did Yang Gongzi notice that in recent years, the winter has become earlier and longer. Eating around the stove in winter, it's warm, and the son's hot pot is clean and has no oil smoke, which is very suitable for us Huaiyang people. So I assert that Yang Gongzi's business will definitely get better and better. Zhou Dacheng spoke earnestly.

Zhou Dacheng said that the winter becomes longer and colder, isn't it the extreme climate change of the Xiaoice period that later generations said? It seems that the Xiaoice period at the end of the Ming Dynasty is not a rumor.

"Is there a source for the statement that Shopkeeper Zhou's winter days are getting longer?" Yang Bo asked.

"Don't hide it from my son, I have traveled north and south over the years, and I always have to go home and reunite with my family during the Spring Festival every year.

Hearing this, Yang Bo nodded.

Chow Dacheng's ability to observe climate change in recent years shows that he is at least a man of heart.

Yang Bo suddenly remembered that Zhou Dacheng said that he would go back to Huai'an to open another Huaixiang Pavilion, but it was just an excuse.

Thinking of this, Yang Bo said: "Since Shopkeeper Zhou is so optimistic about hot pot, it is better to stay."

It's up to you to do it? ”
