"Hehe, okay, then this matter will be handed over to you, the hour is not early, let's go home." Shen Qing patted his son on the shoulder and said, a brilliant ending, he can be regarded as worthy of his ancestors and ancestors.

Day after day, Shaoxing City is still as prosperous as ever, but the original century-old shop 'Delong Rice Shop' is becoming more and more popular, almost equal to the opposite 'Wantong Rice Shop'. The shopkeeper Tao was happy in his eyes, just yesterday, the owner gave himself and a dozen guys a big red envelope, others don't know, their own one actually has a tael of silver, this is half a month's salary!

At the end of the buy one get one free reward activity, two big cars stopped at the door of the shop, and a sentence of door-to-door delivery attracted most of the people to buy from the big families in Shaoxing City, making the business continue to be hot!

With such a capable son, Shen Qing didn't bother to go back and forth, these days Shen Chongming came to the store alone in a carriage to take care of it, while he sat at home and waited anxiously.

"Father-in-law, it's done!" A man about thirty years old walked in in a hurry, this person was of moderate stature, with a Chinese face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving a very good first impression.

However, as a father-in-law, Shen Qing knows this son-in-law very clearly, this person is greedy for money and profit, and is narrow-minded, if it weren't for this poor scholar who later became a fellow jinshi, marrying his daughter to him would be considered a harm to his own children.

The brother-in-law's surname is Yu Mingjinglun, and he is also a person from Shaoxing, Jiajing has been a Jinshi for 38 years, and he was famous in this Shaoxing City before he was lifted. Shen Qing, who has always been partial to scholars and even has some admiration, resolutely married his daughter to him despite the four walls of the Jinglun family, and even generously took 30 taels of silver for him to enter Beijing to take the exam. Yu Jinglun was also angry, and he successfully passed the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination and won the title of Tongjinshi, and successfully became the Cheng of Shanyin County.

However, Yu Jinglun, who was proud of officialdom, gradually revealed his true colors and became a frequent visitor to the Qinglou, and he did not treat his wife very well. The daughter was so wronged, Shen Qing hated itchy, but it was a pity that this kid was soaring, and his father-in-law, who was a businessman, was no longer qualified to reprimand. Fortunately, Jinglun still has a bit of a conscience, and he still respects this father-in-law who is very kind to him, and he has never shirked letting him help with some things.

However, this kind of person with an honest appearance and a dirty heart is most suitable for mixing in the officialdom, and it has only been a few years since he was promoted from Zhengbapin County to Zhengqipin Mansion, and he is deeply trusted by the people of the mansion.

"Virtuous son-in-law, please sit down, come here, serve tea." Shen Qing got up and said. Yu Jinglun sat down unceremoniously, and said a little proudly: "Father-in-law, the matter is done, there is one of the two places, hehe." ”

"Really?" Shen Qing asked excitedly, it's been a month, and I don't think about tea and food for this matter, but now I finally have news!

"Hehe, how dare my son-in-law lie to you." Yu Jinglun took the tea brought by the maid and took a sip and said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good. Oops, hard work, hehe. "Somehow, the more this uncle looks, the more pleasing it becomes.

"But father-in-law, although the prefect should take this matter, it depends on the capital." Yu Jinglun put down the teacup a little embarrassed.

Shen Qing has been in the mall for many years, and when he heard this, he knew what his uncle meant, this is asking for money. "Son-in-law, how much silver does it cost?" Shen Qing asked with some concern, these officials have a lot of appetite, but I am afraid that this silver is indispensable.

Yu Jinglun didn't say it directly, just stretched out a finger.

Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "One thousand taels is one thousand taels." "Although one thousand taels is a large amount, the old foundation of the Shen family can afford it.

"A thousand taels?! Father-in-law, it's 10,000 taels! Yu Jinglun glared and said, sure enough, it is a person from a small place, and a thousand taels of silver is not even a meeting gift in the eyes of those big people in the capital!

"One, ten thousand taels?" Shen Qing said dumbfounded, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Father-in-law, 10,000 taels of silver is not much, and this is only lowered by the prefect for the sake of his son-in-law's face. You must know that it is the Guozijian, as long as you go in, there is no problem in finding an official and a half-job, and you know what Guigui looks like, you are not even a talent at this age, and if you want to rely on the imperial examination to gain fame, it is not possible at all. Yu Jinglun picked up the teacup after speaking, and said that he had already said that you had seen the virtue of doing it yourself.

10,000 taels of silver does make Shen Qing very embarrassed, although the Shen family is also a wealthy businessman, but the rice shop business has been sluggish in recent years, and it has been eroding the old capital, and the family's cash silver is more than 3,000 taels, if you want to make up enough for this 10,000 taels of silver, then you have to sell the ancestral thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city, as well as the shops, these are all ancestral family business, when you sell yourself, what face do you have to see your ancestors and ancestors?

Although Yu Jinglun's face was full of indifference, he was also very anxious in his heart, he had his own two thousand taels in it, in case this old man didn't agree, then the busy work of jumping up and down this month would be in vain!

"Father-in-law, think about it, once you become an official, there will be more than 10,000 taels of silver, and the son-in-law promises you that you will be able to earn back this belongings in less than three years!" Yu Jinglun said nonsense, he knows exactly what kind of talent his brother-in-law is, and he went to the Guozijian for two years in vain, and the best result is to be a small official who is not in the flow and mess around in the yamen, and if you want to earn back this family, you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

If someone said this before, Shen Qing would not believe it, after all, he knew his son Mo Ruo's father, and he knew Shen Chongming's ability, so he was eager to think of a way out for him without worrying about food and clothing, so as not to suffer him from the ruin of this family business after a hundred years.

However, in the past few days, his own Guigui seems to have suddenly opened his mind, and his performance is too amazing, and he has run a rice shop on the verge of bankruptcy.

Gritting his teeth, Shen Qing immediately said: "Okay, the virtuous son-in-law will wait for a few days, and the old man will make up the money." With that, he walked out of the room in a hurry. Yu Jinglun, who was about to say goodbye and go home, asked him to think about it for a few days, was dumbfounded.

If you want people to take over their own fields and shops, and pay off all the silver, there is only Wan Yulin in Shaoxing City who has not been in contact for many years, so Shen Qing, who left home, hired a small sedan chair and went straight to Wanfu.

Shen Qing's sudden visit also surprised Wan Yulin, the relationship between the two when they were young was very good, but over the years, as the gap between them has become wider and wider, except for the meeting at the beginning of the Chamber of Commerce when they met to discuss major matters together, the two had a faint personal relationship, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are strangers.

However, Wan Yulin never saw that he had forgotten this old friend, let alone the things that the two of them had in Shaoxing when they were young.

"The virtuous brother came to the cold house, and he was a sin and a sin for his brother, hehe." Walking into the living room, looking at Shen Qing looking at the layout of the house with his hands behind his back, Wan Yulin hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Brother Wan, the little brother took the liberty to come and disturb, it's rude." Seeing Wan Yulin come up and grab his arm, and be so polite, Shen Qing couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

"Hey, why did Brother Xian say this, it's too late for you to come and be happy for your brother, hehe, please take a seat. Come and take out the good tea that the old man treasured. At this moment, Wan Yulin was so happy that he couldn't help himself. The so-called high place is unbearable, as the business gets bigger and bigger, there are fewer and fewer friends, and all the people who are facing them all day long are subordinates, and they can only hold it in their hearts if they have anything to say.

Seeing this, Shen Qing was also very happy, but it was the vicissitudes of life, and now the richest man in Shaoxing has long forgotten his good brother when he was young, but he didn't expect him to be so temperamental.

The two talked happily with each other, mostly from the past, but now they look back and look at it with embarrassment. However, after the excitement, Wan Yulin came back to his senses, Shen Qing's sudden visit must have something going on, but I am afraid that it is difficult to speak when he sees the embarrassment.

"Brother Xian, you and I have been friends for many years, just open your mouth if there is anything." There is no too much embellishment, but this is more sincere when it comes out.

"Brother Wan, that little brother won't hide it anymore. Now the younger brother urgently needs 10,000 taels of silver, but he doesn't have so much cash in his hand, and there are still 7,000 taels missing. So I want to sell the shops in the city and the 1,000 acres of fertile land outside the city, and only Brother Wan has the ability to go to this Shaoxing City. Saying this, Shen Qing inevitably blushed a little.

Wan Yulin couldn't help frowning, 10,000 taels was not a small amount for him, what did this matter require 10,000 taels? "Brother Xian, my brother took the liberty of asking, what are you going to do, why do you need so much silver?"

Shen Qing sighed, "Don't hide it from my brother, recently, the emperor has been kind enough to ask the local government to send two students to study in the country, my aunt is on an errand in the yamen, so he can get a place for the dog, but it takes 10,000 taels of silver to get a spot for the dog, and the opportunity is rare, so the younger brother has to make this decision." ”

Wan Yulin suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing: "You, after so many years, it hasn't changed, you have no chance to get a career, and you have to send your son in, hehe." ”

"Brother Wan smiled, the younger brother didn't have any luxury, he just wanted someone among the heirs to be able to shine on the lintel, and he would have the face to see the ancestors and ancestors after a hundred years." Shen Qing did not hide it, and the sudden appearance of an official who had been in business for generations was enough to comfort the ancestors.

"Well, what the virtuous brother said is right, and he often has such thoughts as a brother, but it's a pity that the heirs are not prosperous, and there is a daughter under his knees, even if he wants to take the official career, there is no way, hehe" Wan Yulin smiled bitterly, this is also his sad thing, there are seven or eight concubines in the family, but none of them are angry, let alone men, not even a girl.

Over the years, countless famous doctors have been hired, but the conclusion is that he was overindulged when he was young! For such a result, Wan Yulin can only bury it in his heart, and the only thought now is to find a good son-in-law for his daughter, and if possible, let him join the family, so as to continue the incense.
