Shen Xi didn't sleep well for a few days, so that he didn't have much energy to go to the school on February 2.

When I arrived at the school, the number of students was significantly reduced, and most of the students who left the county town and returned to their hometowns a few years ago did not return, but a few new children came to study in Mongolia.

Mr. Su Yunzhong only went to the class in the morning and handed out the "textbook", which was still the "Analects", but it was the lower part of the "Analects", and let the students read it by themselves.

For children who are new to school, they don't know many words, and even if they do, they can only memorize them by rote. In the afternoon, the parents came to visit one after another, and they all sincerely offered the restraints. By the end of school, Shen Xi did not see Mr. Su again.

He was supposed to go home after school, but Shen Xi wanted to help Shen Mingjun feed the poultry, so he went directly to the farm in the south of the city. Just when Shen Xi stirred some pebbles to feed the chickens and ducks the rancid meal, and boiled rice bran and rotten vegetable leaves in the water for the pigs to eat, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely and was about to leave, Wang Lingzhi hurriedly ran over, panting and looking very anxious.

"Senior brother, I've found you."

Wang Lingzhi calmed down a little and said, "Yesterday I asked my father if my family was going to move out of Ninghua, and my father warned me not to listen to the rumors outside, just study with peace of mind...... Looks like my dad didn't plan to move out......"

Shen Xi didn't expect Wang Lingzhi to be so enthusiastic that he really asked his father about it, but even if Wang Changnie really intended to move away, he wouldn't tell his son.

"Alright, you don't have to worry about this in the future. If you are in Ninghua for a day, I will teach you what I should have taught you, but you also need to help appropriately. ”

Wang Lingzhi smiled: "Look at what Senior Brother said, when did I stop helping?" Do you need me to feed you these things, it seems like a lot of fun. ”

Feeding poultry and livestock is a very dirty thing, not to mention anything else, just the smell of boiled pig food, ordinary people can't stand it, Wang Lingzhi actually thinks it's funny, Shen Xi is really speechless. This rich young master doesn't know the hardships of the world, if it is an ordinary people's family, it is a common thing to raise some chickens, ducks, rabbits and pigs at home, picking rabbit grass and pigweed for many years, I am afraid I will not be able to avoid it!

Shen Xi went back to the pharmacy after separating from Wang Lingzhi, and Hui Niang came back early from the new shop that day, and was discussing things with the Zhou family.

Shen Xi listened to it beside him, well, it was something to be happy about.

The imperial court knew that a generation of thieves in northern Guangdong and western Fujian was panicking, and the Fujian Xingdu commanded the envoy to send 2,000 soldiers and horses to Tingzhou Mansion to quell the bandits, and now the soldiers and horses have arrived in Ninghua County.

"It seems that it won't be long before the thieves in this place can be pacified, and then the county will be as lively as ever." Hui Niang's words were a little longing.

Zhou sighed: "Yes, when I first entered the city last year, the teahouse was lively every day, and when the storyteller said "Yang Jiajiang", even the streets were full of people, and there were grass stage troupes to sing southern opera, and people from all over the country poured into the city...... It's only been a long time, and the city has been in such a decay. If it weren't for the medicine we were selling, we might not know what the loss would be. ”

Hui Niang nodded in agreement.

When the two women were discussing things, Xiaoyu was helping to calculate the accounts, while Ning'er was screening the medicinal herbs, and she didn't feel much. After hearing this, Shen Xi was greatly inspired, and he finally knew what his father should do next.

Shen Xi imagined more than once before that he had to find a job that his father could do, without too much technical content, he could also take care of Shen Mingjun on his behalf, and it was best to sit and collect money.

It is precisely because of the strict requirements that I have not been able to find the right one.

But from Zhou's words, Shen Xi thought of the storytelling craze in the city in the first year, and the grass platform team was also very lively at that time, all because of the Ministry of Industry Langzhong Lin Zhongye stationed in Ninghua County, and the scripts he presented and the scripts of "Yang Jiajiang" were made trouble. Then came the plague and the thieves, and there were no new scripts and scripts in the city, so the trend naturally faded.

What Shen Xi wants is to clean up this industry and form an industry.

It's not complicated, it's just to rent a place to open a tea shop, and invite one or two storytellers to talk about the new storybook he has written.

Thinking of doing it, Shen Xi felt that this matter was much more reliable than opening a dart game or opening a money bank, because during the Chinese New Year, the business in the city was sluggish, and the rent of the shops along the street had already dropped again and again.

Shen Mingjun didn't go home that night, and the next afternoon Shen Xi simply went to Wang's house to wait for Shen Mingjun to get off work, and on the way to the south of the city, Shen Xi said his idea.

Shen Mingjun looked embarrassed: "Xiaolang, what you said is very good, but our grandfather and son have no capital, and we don't know anyone in the city, where can we rent a shop?" ”

Shen Xi took out the six or seven taels of broken silver he had obtained from selling paintings from his arms and presented them to Shen Mingjun.

Shen Mingjun was immediately startled, changed color and asked, "Where did you get this amount of silver, it couldn't have been stolen from your mother, right?" Hurry up and put it back. ”

Shen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Dad, you are looking down on your son!" The son is a scholar, and the scholar pays attention to integrity, how can he ** sound the dog thief? ”

"Besides, you don't know how closely my mother values the silver, if I really steal her silver, I take it with the front foot, and she will definitely make a lot of noise with the back foot, and I will call my father home to educate me well...... Has this ever happened? ”

Shen Mingjun scratched his head embarrassedly: "That's really the case!" ”

Shen Xi said again: "This is actually what the old gentleman left for me when he left, saying that if the family can't continue to support me in studying, he will use this silver to tie up, and he can't use it until he has to...... Dad, I didn't mean to hide it from you. ”

Shen Mingjun is quite open-minded this time: "Dad understands you, since it was left by the old gentleman, you should keep it, we can't use it for public and private purposes." ”

"It's nothing, isn't it okay for me to study now? I can't use this silver for the time being, so let's take it and use it first, as long as we can do business, when the old gentleman comes back, wouldn't it be better to invite him to sit in the tea shop? ”

Shen Xi looked at his cheap dad and said in an encouraging tone, "I asked Aunt Sun, and she said that now she rents a small faceless one along the street, and it will only cost one or two taels of silver a month, and if you cut the price, it may not be lower." As long as you clean up a little, find someone to make some tables, chairs and benches, hire someone to spend some more, it seems that six or seven taels of silver should be enough. ”

"This ......"

Shen Mingjun was a little hesitant, he originally intended to make a name for himself and shut up those gossips, but he had been suffering from the fact that he had no capital and could not make the trip. But if you put all the money into it, when the business is not good, it will be equivalent to losing all your money, and when the time comes, you will lose your wife and soldiers, and your face will be gone......

"Xiaolang, is this business really possible?" Shen Mingjun looked at Shen Xi with a suspicious gaze and asked.

Shen Xi smiled: "Even if my father doesn't believe me, he should believe that the old gentleman is." When the old gentleman left, he left some scripts, which were originally used to deal with the official master, and now they are suitable for us to do business. ”

"Last year, the old gentleman made the people in the county listen to it fascinated by "Yang Jiajiang" alone, and thousands of people were empty. Isn't Dad excited? ”

Shen Mingjun's heart was hot when he heard it, the key was that Shen Xi's words were too provocative, as if as long as he opened the shop, he would already be half successful.

In the end, Shen Mingjun nodded heavily: "Then Dad will listen to you this time, let's ...... Let's do business well, don't let others look down on us, saying that we rely on women to live. ”

Shen Xi responded, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart.

I think it's clear that you're being looked down upon, but I don't think it's anything, I'm a little child, can't I rely on my mother to support me? But for you, who is the main labor force in the family, the lethality of those gossips is a bit great.

The father and son agreed to run a tea house, because Shen Mingjun was very busy in the Wang family on weekdays, and Shen Xi would do it to inquire about the shop.
