Hui Niang didn't come alone, she also brought Xiaoyu and Lu Xi'er, she carried a basket in her hand, which contained eggs, noodles and some common gifts for confinement women. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When she saw Shen Xi, she looked very restrained, and bowed slightly: "The people have seen adults." ”

In the face of such a Hui Niang who talks about rules everywhere, Shen Xi has nothing to say, she can only behave politely, call her "Aunt Sun", and then let Xiaoyu and others help her into the room to see Xie Yun'er.

"The shopkeeper seems to be different from what it used to be." Zhu Shan scratched his head stupidly beside him.

Shen Xi squinted at her and asked, "What's the difference?" ”

"Like, I'm not as talkative as I used to be." Zhu Shan thought for a while and said, "Also, I once bumped into the shopkeeper and secretly cried in private. Sir, do you know what's going on? ”

Shen Xi thought to herself, most likely because Hui Niang felt that life was hard and missed her husband.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Shen Xi felt in his heart. Shen Xi found that he was a little jealous of the dead man of the Lu family, although he had never seen what that person looked like, and he didn't even have the impression of his father in Lu Xi'er's memory, so when Lin Dai was "painting her mother", she didn't even have the qualifications to "paint her father".

Out of sight and out of mind, Shen Xi turned around and went to the study to read. After a long time, Zhu Shan ran over to inform: "Master, the shopkeeper came out, saying that he was leaving." ”

"Bring someone here."

Shen Xi didn't get up, and ordered.

"Master, what should I do if the shopkeeper doesn't come?" Zhu Shan's face was a little embarrassed.

Shen Xi said coldly: "Tell her, this is my order, she must come over." ”

"Huh!?"

Zhu Shan looked confused, the shopkeeper has always been high, if I go to tell her this, will she scold me?

With doubts, Zhu Shan told Shen Xi's words to Hui Niang, Hui Niang's face tightened, and after a little hesitation, she followed Zhu Shan to the study to see Shen Xi.

"Folk women see adults." It was only a word difference from the first greeting, but the number of etiquettes was very different, and Hui Niang directly knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi can't blame Hui Niang for this, he used official authority to "invite" Hui Niang to come over, and Hui Niang should put on the posture of a public official.

"Xiaoshan, you go down first, you won't be needed here for the time being." Shen Xiyi waved his hand and said, "Remember to close the door when you go out, guard outside, and no one is allowed to approach." ”

"Oh."

Zhu Shan hurriedly went out, and when he closed the door, he was very careful, and he stood in front of the door of the study like a door god.

Shen Xi stood up and walked in front of Hui Niang, making a gesture to help her up, but Hui Niang moved her knees directly, her body retreated slightly, and her head was slightly bowed: "My lord, please respect yourself." ”

What a hurtful word!

Shen Xi was angry and anxious, he asked himself that at this time, he was just holding the attitude of getting along with relatives, not wanting something to happen between him and Hui Niang, but Hui Niang's attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away made him really unacceptable!

Could it be that after becoming an official, there is no family affection and friendship, so do you have to be so polite in everything?

Don't even care about a little bit of old love?

I'm not telling you about the private relationship between men and women, nothing has happened between us ourselves, and I can't honor you as an elder?

"Mrs. Lu."

Shen Xi directly changed his name and made the beginning in a serious tone.

This title is really hurtful, Hui Niang's body slowed down a little, but her tense face loosened a little, and her expression was slightly disappointed.

"Hmm...... Since Mrs. Lu is on official business, the official is not polite. ”

Shen Xi turned his head and returned to the back of the desk, no one helped, and he didn't say anything politely, but just told Hui Niang about the current crisis of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and ordered Hui Niang to take the initiative to give up all the activities of the Chamber of Commerce, "The household department has made a decision to take back all the errands assigned in the past few years, involving more than 600 officials and businessmen in Beijing, and Mrs. Lu is one of them." ”

"The meaning of the household department is that all the ships, manpower, and warehouses that originally belonged to the government and businessmen will be brought under the control of the household department, and as for the cost of money, they will all be transferred from the household department."

When Hui Niang heard this, she burst into tears and said: "My lord said this, didn't he say that the imperial court didn't care about people's lives and deaths, and overtook people's industries?" ”

"That's right, it's a hegemonic industry, and it's high-sounding." Shen Xi sternly warned, "You are not unclear about the two official words, and the previous overturning of the Chamber of Commerce in Fuzhou is a lesson from the past." ”

"And as far as I know, this is only the first step, and there will be more drastic measures to come...... Do you think the household department will pay a lot of money? The money was only half a horse of red silk, not even a tenth of its original value, and the merchant would eventually have to bear the loss. ”

"The most worrying thing is that those corrupt officials who smell the smell of fish will fabricate accusations, and even the merchants' homes and official industries will be confiscated. Does Mrs. Lu want to continue to operate? ”

It's not that Hui Niang hasn't thought about this, she even knows the virtue of the government better than Shen Xi. But when she heard Shen Xi say it in such a strong tone, she felt sad and desperate...... You don't help me, but you help those rich wolf-hearted corrupt officials to speak, what else can I rely on in business in the future?

"The women know."

When Hui Niang said this, she couldn't help but whimper.

"It's good to know." Shen Xi looked serious, "The official's intention is to limit you to stop all the industries under the name of the Chamber of Commerce within half a month, and collect funds to buy land outside the city, and this matter is over!" If you don't listen to persuasion, the government will take action against Mrs. Lu, not to mention that the official doesn't lend a hand! ”

"The women obeyed...... Woohoo......"

Hui Niang couldn't cry, Shen Xi felt a lot of pain in his heart, but he knew that there was no compromise in this matter.

This woman is so stubborn that it is useless to reason with her. Shen Xi asked himself that he was just a civil official from the fifth grade, and he could naturally be a soil emperor in a place, but in a place like the capital, but those powerful people really wanted to deal with him, it was no different from crushing an ant to death, not to mention anything else, just the Zhang brothers, who were relatives, was a mountain that he could not overcome.

Only by letting Hui Niang understand the real situation at the moment and cutting off her desire to get help from Shen Xi will Hui Niang completely die.

But Shen Xi knew that the result of doing this was to put himself on the opposite side of Hui Niang, making Hui Niang completely disappointed in him.

"Now that you know, go ahead. Don't set foot in my house in the future, this official is in Hanyuan, the master of the East Palace, and I don't want to be known to be too close to the woman of the merchant. Shen Xi said coldly.

"Hmmm......"

Hui Niang stood up, did not turn around, but retreated to the door, almost tripped over the threshold, and when the time left the door, she cried louder.

Shen Xi's heart was like a knife when he heard it, and his face was frighteningly white.

"Smack!"

Shen Xi raised his fist and slammed it on the desk, but the severe pain still couldn't resolve the depression in his heart.

Zhu Shan walked in and said, "Master, the shopkeeper is crying." ”

"I know." Shen Xi said sharply, "You go out, don't disturb my tranquility, if you don't listen to persuasion, I will let you beat you fifty boards!" ”

"What's the tantrum, I didn't do anything wrong, master, you rest here first, I'll do something else." Zhu Shan is not a submissive little girl, she pouted and went out with a little emotion.

After leaving the study, the first thing Zhu Shan did was to tell Xie Yun'er about the matter, because she felt that if the head of the family lost her mind, she had to tell the "second master", that is, Xie Yun'er, the hostess of this mansion.

In Zhu Shan's opinion, in addition to Shen Xi, the family has the ability, followed by Xie Yun'er, the housewife.

When it was time to eat in the evening, Xie Yun'er asked with concern: "Xianggong, what did you say to the shopkeeper to make her sad?" ”

Shen Xi glanced at Zhu Shan, who was silent, and then said, "Yun'er, you don't think that your husband bullied her, right?" ”

"Xianggong, the concubine is telling you serious things." Xie Yun'er was coquettish.

"Actually, to be honest, I really bullied her for my husband, but ...... But for her good. Shen Xi explained the matter, and when she finished speaking, Xie Yun'er understood Shen Xi very well, because she also agreed that Hui Niang was a stubborn woman.

Hui Niang is good to her, she can understand, but if Hui Niang always sacrifices herself for others and does not care about the safety of herself and the people around her, Xie Yun'er can only feel worthless for her.

"Xianggong did the right thing, but maybe it's a little too much, in fact, Xianggong should care about the shopkeeper very much, right?" Xie Yun'er said.

"Hmm."

Shen Xi knew that the concern he had for Hui Niang in his heart was different from what Xie Yun'er said.

But from the perspective of family affection, their hearts to change Hui Niang's character are the same.

"The shopkeeper is too, knowing that the government wants to suppress businessmen, why don't they listen to persuasion? Running a pharmacy or a farm property can also support your family, besides...... Even if it is the accumulation of these years, it is enough for her to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, so why bother to force herself? ”

When Xie Yun'er said this, she couldn't help wiping away her tears, "But the concubine can somewhat understand the shopkeeper, because she is alone, and she is lonely when she dreams back at midnight, maybe she wants to use this as a sustenance." ”

Shen Xi looked out the window and sighed: "What can't be used as sustenance, does she have to be mean to herself to feel good in her heart?" ”

Xie Yun'er nodded, thinking about some things in her heart, but it was different from what Shen Xi thought.

……

……

After Hui Niang went back, she took Shen Xi's warning as the wind in her ears.

Shen Xi was speechless for a while after hearing the news, this time Hui Niang seemed to have made up her mind, it was useless to persuade her, even Shen Xi asked Xiao Yu to bring the letter over, Hui Niang threw it into the paper basket without looking at it, obviously Hui Niang regarded him as an accomplice of the government.

There is no way to change Hui Niang, Shen Xi can only try to find a way to prevent the imperial court from thinking about the last bit of industry of the Chamber of Commerce.

At least Hui Niang returned the ships and manpower that transported the grain, and the imperial court should not be in a hurry to do anything to the Chamber of Commerce for a while.

The best way is for Shen Xi to go to Liu Daxia for help, but after thinking about Shen Xi carefully, he found that Liu Daxia took the initiative to recruit him before, but he didn't know how to ask for it.

Liu Daxia is the secretary of the military department, Shen Xi is separated from him by several layers, and Shen Xi can't think of a reason for Liu Daxia to see him, so he can only find Yu Niang, tell the truth about the current situation of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and try to let Yu Niang mediate.

Yu Niang shook her head: "My lord may not know that when Liu Shangshu was in the household department in the past, he was burdened with the emperor's order, so he had the right to order the slave family to do things." But now Liu Shangshu is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he has resigned from his relevant duties, and basically no longer looks for slaves......"

Liu Daxia served as a messenger for a long time, and often used Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and Emperor Hongzhi gave him the privilege of acting cheaply.

However, after Liu Daxia was transferred to the Ministry of War, the factory guard and the military department belonged to different systems, and Emperor Hongzhi was also worried that the concentration of power in one person would be detrimental to the rule, so he relieved Liu Daxia of the relevant power, so the people of the factory guard were insulated from him, and only occasionally learned some information from the factory guard.

"Alas! It seems that sooner or later, the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce will be unlucky. Shen Xi lamented.

Yu Niang asked curiously: "The Chamber of Commerce was raised with the joint efforts of Lord Shen and the Lu Sun Clan, didn't Lord Shen explain the situation to the Lu Sun Clan?" ”

Shen Xi smiled bitterly: "Compare your heart to your heart, if Yu Niang is Mrs. Lu, you can only gain from half a lifetime of hard work, if someone suddenly wants to deprive you of everything, will you believe this person?" ”

Yu Niang smiled dumbly: "It turns out that Lord Shen also has a time when he has nothing to do, which surprises the slave family." ”

Shen Xi asked himself, even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he could be calm, but for Hui Niang, he really couldn't handle it calmly with a normal heart, this is care, but chaos.

"Lord Shen, the slave family has a proposal, if Lord Shen can't persuade the Lu Sun clan to stop from the reason, with Lord Shen's previous means of dealing with such things, why not use extreme methods to make her change her mind?" Yu Niang suddenly made a suggestion that looked good.

At the moment, Shen Xi is just showing an attitude in front of Hui Niang, Yu Niang doesn't know the seriousness of the problem, so I do my own thing. Yu Niang's proposal is to let him be a bad guy completely, block all the roads of Hui Niang, and start with the court one step ahead of the court to prevent all hidden dangers from happening.

But in this way, Hui Niang will not forgive him.
