Chapter 7 So Brother-in-law
Shen Qing couldn't say anything about this topic, after all, this was someone's scar, and it was always bad to speak rashly by himself.
Wan Yulin, who sighed for a long time, also realized his gaffe, and hurriedly smiled: "Brother Xian, this is a big deal, these seven thousand taels of silver are out for your brother, and it will not be too late for you to have silver in the future." β
For Wan Yulin's generosity, Shen Qing didn't dare to accept it, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Absolutely not, the younger brother is also a brother and a brother, if you really have the heart to help me, take over this acre and shop, otherwise the younger brother will have to find someone else." β
What Shen Qing said is not bad, and Wan Yulin is very clear about his character, that is, he is unwilling to owe others kindness, which is also the reason why he has not interacted with himself over the years, that is, he is afraid that others will say that he has climbed high branches. Now, if he insists on borrowing his seven thousand taels of silver, I am afraid that the two will really be strangers from now on.
Sighing, Wan Yulin said: "Okay, since this is the case, then I will promise you for my brother, but the virtuous brother must remember that this shop and Tianmu are only temporarily stored here as a brother, and on the day when his virtuous nephew soars, you will redeem it with seven thousand taels of silver." Seeing that Shen Qing was about to speak, Wan Yulin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Xian, you also know your brother's temperament, if you don't agree to this condition, then I won't do this deal, hehe." β
Seeing him like this, Shen Qing was moved in his heart, after all, it was a family business passed down by his ancestors, and if he really had someone else's surname, he would also be a little sad. Now that Wan Yulin said this, it means that when there is silver that day, these things will still be his own.
"Then thank you Brother Wan." Shen Qing said gratefully. "Brother Xian is outside, hehe." Wan Yulin waved his hand and said, and then said: "Brother Xian, it's not too early, I'll order someone to prepare wine and food, you and my brother have a drink, hehe." β
But there was a matter on his mind, Shen Qing's heart was really a lot easier, and he had a good conversation today, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about, so he agreed.
The two hadn't drunk together for many years, and it was inevitable to drink a few more glasses when they were happy, so that in the end, Shen Qing, who was drunk, was sent home by the descendants of Wanfu with seven thousand taels of silver tickets.
Such a big event, but Shen Chongming didn't know about it, and he was still thinking hard about his plan to be the richest man in the Ming Dynasty in the rice shop.
"Hehe, it's finally time to move." Glancing at the courtyard that always felt a little small, a smile appeared at the corner of Yu Jinglun's mouth, who would have thought that ten years ago, a poor scholar who was hungry for food, could have today, the official residence of the seven products, and the mansion worth a thousand taels of silver next to the government in Shaoxing City, and he bought it when he said he bought it.
Today's housewarming is joyful, and he should be promoted in a while. The prefect is the protΓ©gΓ© of Yan Ge, and the brother-in-law's entry into the country is just a matter of one sentence. The reason why he offered 10,000 yuan was not for his business, but because he wanted to improve, he needed a lot of silver. In the final analysis, deduct your own 2,000 taels, and the remaining 8,000 taels are used to pave the way for yourself, and having such an old man has to be said to be a beautiful thing.
"Lady, tomorrow I will take the servants with me to the new mansion to see, and you can do it yourself if you need to buy anything." Yu Jinglun took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and put it in front of Shen.
Yu Jinglun's small experience in a seven-pin mansion, a year's fortune is only more than 50 taels of silver, and suddenly he bought a house and took out a hundred taels to buy, but the Shen family was scared a lot, and the punishment was severe, if he was greedy for ink, he would have to peel the skin of the daylily!
"Xianggong, where did you get so much silver?!" Shen asked with a pale face.
Yu Jinglun frowned, and said unhappily: "Why do you ask so much, just go with me tomorrow." "But Xianggong, where did you get so much silver?" Shen didn't follow it, and he could not care about it if he was out drinking, but this kind of major matter related to the life of the whole family had to be asked.
"Enough, this official has his own measure in doing things, and you are also a woman, what do you do with so much! Hum! With that, Yu Jinglun brushed his sleeves away, leaving the Shen family alone standing there worriedly looking at the hundred taels of silver tickets in a daze.
"Gui'er, don't go to the shop tomorrow, rest at home for two days, and go to the capital the day after tomorrow." Shen Qing, who put down the dishes and chopsticks, said to his son.
Shen Chongming, who was holding a bowl and eating a big meal, was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Why? β
"Gui'er, your brother-in-law has taken care of you and sent you to Guozijian to study." Wang looked at his son lovingly and said, as long as his son has a good future, what if he gives up this family business.
Shen Chongming, the head of Guozijian, knows that this is the highest university in the Ming Dynasty, and it is much higher than the Peking University Tsinghua University in later generations.
The only possibility is to pave the way with silver. As a person with great ambitions, Shen Chongming is also clear about his family's background, and combined with Shen Qing's words just now, it is very likely that the shop will be sold.
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Shen Chongming raised his head and asked, "Did you sell the shop?" β
Shen Qing couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a forced smile: "What do you care about all this, just go and study in peace." β
Shen Chongming sighed helplessly, "Dad, mother, the shop and the land have been sold, what will you live on in the future." At this time, Shen Chongming's heart was very moved, and he pity the hearts of his parents all over the world, and he will not change at any time.
"My son can rest assured that your Uncle Wantong's Wantong rice shop lacks a big shopkeeper, and he has already said that he will let his father go over in a few days." Shen Qing said with an indifferent face, although he became a part-time worker from the owner in a blink of an eye, as long as his son has a future interest, he has no grievances.
"Yes, Gui'er, my mother and your father's body and bones are okay, and the family doesn't need too many maids to call the family, and then a few will be dismissed, and you can live with your father's salary, you can study with peace of mind, don't worry about things at home."
"What your mother said is that as long as you can find an official and a half-job to shine on the lintel, it is not a big deal for your father and your mother to suffer some grievances." Shen Qing said with a smile.
The situation in front of him made Shen Chongming feel very familiar, wasn't it the night before he was admitted to university?
"Daddy, don't worry, the child will live up to your expectations!" Shen Chongming got up and took two steps back, knelt on the ground and said, the word father and mother, who had not been spoken, finally blurted out at this moment.
"Okay, good, it's good that my son has this ambition, hehe." Shen Qing's eyes moistened and said.
"Brother Song, I'll miss you later." The farewell of the flesh and hemp was carried out in front of the city gate, and a group of Shaoxing Mansion scholars surrounded the high-spirited Song Qingyang with a look of dignity.
There are two people in Shaoxing Mansion who escorted Guozijian, one is Shen Chongming, who spent 10,000 taels of silver, and the other is Song Qingyang, a talented man who is famous in Shaoxing. The prefect is not stupid, silver is important, but the people who send it can't all be rice buckets, otherwise they will damage their reputation, which is not good for their careers.
"Everyone, next year's big exam, I'll see you in the capital later." Song Qingyang bowed his hand and said proudly.
For his own intelligence, Song Qingyang is also quite conceited, although the capital Guozi Prison Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but he has the confidence to emerge in it, today's Guozi Priest Wine Gao Gong Aicai is famous, as long as he gets his appreciation, I believe that his future career will be smooth sailing, compared to these people in front of him, but it is much stronger.
"Gui'er, when you go to the capital, you have to study hard, and your father and sister will take care of it." Sister Shen said with tears in her eyes. She knows a lot about this younger brother, and from now on she will have to live alone in the unaccompanied capital, and it is really a debatable question whether he can take care of himself.
Shen Chongming didn't know what to say, just kept nodding. Seeing him like this, Shen was even more worried, and took ten taels of silver from the maid behind him and stuffed it into his younger brother's hand and said: "Gui'er, this is a little bit of my sister and brother-in-law's heart, don't be bitter when you go to the capital." As he spoke, tears could not help but flow.
Shen Chongming didn't accept it, "Sister, you don't have to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation in the Guozi Prison, and it's useless for me to ask for this silver." Besides, my brother-in-law's salary is not much, and I just bought a house, so you should keep it. β
Hearing this, Shen Shi only felt a blush, and connected everything, she also knew what was going on, the silver that Xiang Gong bought the mansion must have been extracted from the 10,000 taels of silver. Although she felt extremely angry, she was just married to her husband, and he couldn't say anything as a woman.
Yu Jinglun on the side also felt extremely embarrassed, after all, it was a bad thing. "Guigui, you just take it, otherwise we won't be at ease."
Shen Chongming thinks about it, the future is uncertain, who knows what will happen when he arrives in the capital, and he has enough money in his pocket to do things on his own. "Then thank you, sister-in-law."
