Chapter 8: No One Can Bully You
"Grandfather!" Shen Mixiang immediately stepped forward happily, grabbed his arm cordially, and smiled brightly, completely lacking the cold appearance when facing Shen Wang.
Old Man Shen patted her hand and signaled her to be relieved, "Good boy, with your grandfather here, no one can bully you." ”
Shen Wang got up, walked to Old Man Shen's side helplessly, and helped him to the upper seat and sat down, "Dad, you are not feeling well, so don't move around." ”
Old Man Shen knocked on the floor with his cane and snorted coldly: "Let me tell you, the only girl in the entire mansion who can be worthy of my old man's walk is Mixiang." With me, no one in this family can bully her! ”
Among the children, Shen Wang's least favored is Shen Mixiang, but Old Man Shen spoils her like a treasure, and it is useless for anyone to say it.
Shen Wang sighed and said, "Dad, this girl is really spoiled by you, do you know what she did outside today?" ”
Old Man Shen glanced at Shen Mixiang and said, "Isn't it just the incident at the Jinwu Ferry in the morning, and it's worth your fuss and coming back to blame your daughter?" ”
"How is this a trivial matter? Dad, if this girl is not strictly disciplined, sooner or later she will lose all the face of our Shen family. ”
"Face? It turns out that you still remember the face of my Shen family! If you want me to say, our Shen family's face has long been lost by you. If another family gives birth to a son, you also give birth to a son, and the sons of other families inherit their father's business, what about you, what did your two good sons do? ”
Old Man Shen said angrily, turned his head and didn't even want to look at Shen Wang.
The Shen family has been dealing in spices for generations, and the spice craft has always been passed down from man to woman.
But when I arrived at Shen Wang, although there were two sons and three daughters, there were two sons, one only wanted to study and become an official, and the other was in business, but he was in the jewelry business that had nothing to do with spices.
In desperation, the old man Shen waved his hand and chose one of Shen Wang's three daughters to inherit the spice craftsmanship inherited from the Shen family for generations.
Among Shen Wang's three daughters, the eldest girl, Shen Sixiang, is gentle and virtuous, married early and became a wife, and she is not interested in spices.
In order to please Shen Wang, the second girl Shen Nianxiang was willing to learn spices, but her learning and comprehension ability was too weak, and she was greedy for fun and hard to learn, so she couldn't even master the most basic incense-making skills accurately.
In the end, it is Shen Mixiang, who is also a concubine and has been taciturn since he was a child and does not like to be in the limelight, he is talented and intelligent, and he can understand it after listening to it and making it manually.
In this way, Old Man Shen saw hope from her, although Shen Wang always disagreed, Old Man Shen insisted that Shen Mixiang take over the incense-making technology of the Shen family's spices.
Shen Wang's face turned blue and white for a while, and he defended softly: "Although Yizhu and Yilin have not inherited the Shen family's spices, they are both promising children." Let's just say that Yizhu's kid won the examination at the beginning of this year, and now he is studying in the Hanlin Academy, and his future is bright, and he is just around the corner to become an official. Dad, it is true that my Shen family has been a businessman for generations, but you are also clear about the status of businessmen now. When Yizhu becomes an official, he will spread out in the future, and my Shen family will be able to be regarded as a scholarly family in the future, and it will have a good reputation if it is spread out. ”
Shen Wang's words were true, and Old Man Shen naturally knew it in his heart. Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have had inexplicable involvement, but in the final analysis, officials and universities can always crush people to death.
Seeing that the old man's face softened a lot, Shen Wang breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "There are many juniors in the family, even if you don't care about me here, you have to take care of the second brother's children." This girl is looking for incense, what she did today is indeed a little inappropriate. ”
