Hui Niang plans to set up a school for the children of the Chamber of Commerce to study, and there is also a school in Fucheng that is in intensive preparation, which is the one established by Hong Xun at the suggestion of Shen Xi.

During this period in late March, Shen Xi did not have to go to the school to study, and studied at home on weekdays, except for continuing to read books related to the imperial examination, he taught Lu Xi'er and Lin Dai to read and write the rest of the time.

The two little Loli have made rapid progress, and for more than a year, Shen Xi has finished teaching the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text" and "Kindergarten Qionglin", in addition to rare words, they can already read and write, and understand their meaning.

Shen Xi began to teach them some new knowledge, not other enlightenment books, nor the Four Books and Five Classics, but arithmetic, starting from the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and even the calculation of the four operations, graphs and lengths were also ready to teach them.

Or women are not interested in mathematics by nature, they learn fast when they read and read, but when they encounter math problems, the two little Loli often have to pull their fingers to count, and they can't understand graphics, which makes Shen Xi helpless.

On March 30, Hong Xun came to the pharmacy again, and this time he suddenly visited, and the people in the pharmacy did not react, and he broke into it directly.

Zhou Shi didn't laugh angrily when she saw Hong Xun, she originally thought that this prince of the capital had left, but now that she appeared, she seemed to be a little patient.

Xiu'er and Ning'er hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Grandma has an order, if the son comes, please go out of the store directly." ”

Hong Xun glanced behind the screen, but unfortunately the screen was thick, and he couldn't see whether Xie Yun'er was inside at all, so he turned around and said, "A few people misunderstood, and they came here today to find ...... That little boy in your family, I don't know if he can be in it? ”

Zhou was a little surprised behind the counter, she couldn't think of anything to do with Shen Xi, thinking that it might be Hong Xun making excuses.

"Do you know my baby?" Zhou asked in a cold voice.

Hong Xun bowed his head: "I naturally know, I have a good relationship with the little boy in the next, and now he asked me to open a school, I have encountered some trouble, and I want to come over to ask him for advice." ”

When these words were spoken, there was a slight sound behind the screen, and it was obvious that Xie Yun'er was also surprised.

Zhou waved his hand, and Ning'er went to the backyard to call Shen Xi out.

Shen Xi frowned when he saw that it was Hong Xun, if he hadn't come to the door by himself, he would have almost forgotten that there was such a person.

When he arrived at the door, Shen Xi's face was gloomy: "Didn't you say it before?" If you have something to look for, just wait at the door, I will definitely come out to see you, you go in to pick me to the bright spot, I can't give you ideas in the future! ”

"Little brother, don't be angry, didn't I come here in a hurry?"

Hong Xun's face was anxious, "I rented a place according to what you said, and even the carpenter was found, and I packed up the place and waited for the opening of the museum to teach apprentices, but ...... There's no way out, no one cares about the school, not even a single student, what do you think I should do? ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, this flood is really an urgent child, let him start school, and he didn't think about it clearly, so he did it in a hurry.

"You can't always wait for business to come to your door, Your Excellency has no connections and no reputation in Tingzhou, how do others know that your school is going to recruit students? There should be some promotion and publicity, hiring a few people, putting up notices all over the city, and preferably inviting local well-known scholars to a banquet and get in touch with each other. ”

Shen Xi continued to give Hong Xun a "bad move", anyway, his purpose was to let Hong Xun squander the silver as soon as possible and return to Beijing honestly.

Hong Xun nodded after thinking carefully: "Little brother is reasonable, I'll do it." ”

Hong Xun trotted all the way away, looking very attentive, but Shen Xi looked at his back and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, this Hong Xun is knowledgeable, but unfortunately he doesn't have much experience in life, he is too real, and he will suffer a big loss sooner or later if he is so gullible about others.

When Shen Xi returned to the pharmacy, even Xie Yun'er walked out from behind the screen, and the woman in the pharmacy looked directly at Shen Xi, making him feel as if he should find a crack in the ground to get into.

"Hanwa'er, come here!"

Zhou snorted, waited for Shen Xi to get closer, and slapped the table, "Say, what's going on!" ”

Shen Xi lowered his head, showing a sincere appearance of admitting his mistakes, and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, I saw that person always pestering the Xie family's sister, so I went to persuade him a few words, and that's it......"

Zhou scolded: "Bastard boy, still want to lie? You just persuaded him a couple of words, and he hasn't shown up these days? ”

Xie Yun'er was ashamed and angry, and said, "Xiaolang, say it quickly." ”

Shen Xi had no choice but to tell the truth of the matter, but concealed some details. After hearing this, Xie Yun'er couldn't help but sigh: "He is a northerner, he is not familiar with the place, what kind of school does he open, isn't this a waste of money?" ”

Shen Xi looked at Xie Yun'er's somewhat self-reproachful appearance, and said in her heart that she had "no more feelings" for Hong Xun?

Xie Yun'er knew that it was difficult to do business if she was not familiar with life, but she figured it out by herself after repeatedly hitting a wall, she originally wanted to open a family medical center, but after encountering all kinds of difficulties, she knew that the world was difficult, and she was now at ease as a doctor in Lu's pharmacy.

"Actually...... I want him to go back to Beijing as soon as possible. Shen Xi said calmly.

Zhou scolded: "Bastard boy, you are so easy to deceive when you are a mother and Aunt Xie? You let him start school, obviously to help him settle down in Tingzhou, what does it have to do with returning to Beijing? ”

Shen Xi smiled and said: "Mother, what do you think, that Hong Gongzi doesn't even understand what we are saying here, he starts school, who will send students to study?" When he cleans the coiled flowers, doesn't he have to leave with a dirty face? ”

This made Xie Yun'er stunned, she had always heard Hui Niang praise Shen Xi for being smart and capable, but she really hadn't seen it before. In her mind, Shen Xi was the same age as her younger siblings, and her younger siblings were still childish, and Shen Xi couldn't go anywhere no matter how divine she was.

But this time, she saw with her own eyes that Shen Xi was not only smart, but also full of intrigues, obviously to help Hong Xun pursue her, but in fact, she wanted to make Hong Xun reluctant to return to Beijing.

"Hey." Zhou smiled after hearing Shen Xi's strategy, "You kid has a way. What does the sister of the Xie family think? ”

Xie Yun'er's face was gloomy: "My love affair with him is exhausted, he has to come to entangle, and I can't help it...... But it's not a good idea to get him to retreat. Big deal, I'll just give him some coils before I leave. ”

Shen Xi was originally worried that Xie Yun'er would feel sorry for Hong Zhuo and would find someone to tell him to stop as soon as possible, but now it seems that Xie Yun'er is rational enough to know that there will be no happiness with Hong Zhuo, and without the blessing of his family, even if he barely gets together, the future will end in tragedy.

Women in these years are more cautious when considering marriage matters, because most of them only have one marriage in their lives, if Xie Yun'er really marries Hong Zhuo, and Hong Zhuo will leave her to return to the capital in the future, then her life will be over.

Zhou heard the resolute meaning in Xie Yun'er's words, comforted him, and the matter should be revealed.

When Hui Niang came back in the evening, Zhou told her about the day, and Hui Niang touched Shen Xi's head with a smile: "Xiao Lang is not an ordinary child, he thinks things are more complicated than others Zhou Xiang, many times we adults are ashamed of ourselves." ”

Shen Xi shrugged: "Aunt Sun praised it." ”

Subsequently, Hui Niang smiled and introduced the preparation for the school, she was afraid that the time would delay Shen Xi's studies, so she set the day of the school on the second day of the fourth month.

Hearing the news, Zhou was very happy, and then sighed faintly: "I really want to tell the good news to the conscienceless person at home, he has been gone for half a month, and he hasn't even heard from him, don't you know that our mother and son are worried about him?" ”

Hui Niang comforted: "My brother-in-law will naturally come back as soon as possible after he is done." ”

The two sisters have a very good relationship, Zhou doesn't have a husband by his side, so he sleeps with Hui Niang, the two are no longer just best friends, they simply regard each other as their other half.

After dinner, Hui Niang took out the accounts of Yinhao's business for more than two months, in addition to explaining to Zhou, but also to let Shen Xi know the specific business situation.

In the end, she said with regret: "Now the business of the silver horn is on the right track, but recently I have always received silver ingots of poor condition, which has caused a lot of losses to the silver horn." ”

Shen Xi sensed the seriousness of the problem, the silver number initially existed in the mode of a money shop, and the money shop was originally a business that would make sure that it would not lose money, because it received a rebate at a discounted price.

But the biggest problem of money shop operation comes from the fineness of the folk coinage and ingots, at present, the north and south of Beijing and the south of the Yangtze River, the Central Plains and other places, almost every big city will open a foundry to mint coins, nominally governmental, but many of the foundries set up by private individuals, in order to pursue profits, the silver ingots and copper coins minted are very poor, with the circulation of commerce and trade gradually spread to the land of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Shen Xi said: "Since the problem has arisen, we have to face it, at this time, we can no longer go black on the road of silver money exchange, but should take the way of deposit and lending, so as to make the silver number bigger and stronger." ”

"Is that too radical?" Hui Niang frowned and asked, her eyes full of worry.

Shen Xi smiled: "Auntie, you don't need to take risks in what you do?" In the past, we ran a printing workshop, and others were not optimistic, so didn't we do it in the end? ”

"With this business, the people can get interest from their deposits, and the merchants have a way to borrow money at low interest, which is a move that kills two birds with one stone. We lend in advance, only for the merchants in the chamber of commerce, and strictly control the approval of mortgages, as long as this link can be implemented well, even if there are any risks, we can deal with it! ”
