Yin Wen is young and ignorant of men and women, but her attachment to Shen Xi comes from the heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Suddenly being held in Shen Xi's arms, Xiao Nizi seemed to be stunned for a while, her little face was flushed, but she hid her head in Shen Xi's arms, her lips moved, and she was indescribably cute and seductive.

Shen Xi was a little distracted for a while, but he tried to restrain himself: "It's really a lovely little girl, but I can't have her, otherwise it will hurt her." ”

"Xiaowen, why did you come in?" Shen Xi didn't let go of his hand, but just let Yin Wen sit on the edge of the bed so that she could calm down her nervousness.

"Uh......"

Yin Wen didn't know how to answer for a while.

Xiao Nizi's mind is pure and flawless, she wants to see Shen Xi when she gets up in the morning, she usually comes to Shen Xi's door and waits, and follows Shen Xi behind her, until Shen Xi goes to court, she will go back with a little loss, looking forward to Shen Xi coming back early in the afternoon.

As for why she did this, Xiao Nizi herself couldn't explain it.

Shen Xi smiled and took the clothes hanging at the head of the bed and put them on his body indiscriminately, Xiao Nizi didn't avoid his gaze, just looked at him so stupidly.

Shen Xi asked, "Miss your mother?" ”

"Uh...... Uh-huh. ”

Yin Wen's mouth pursed slightly.

Although she was very happy by Shen Xi's side, because she had to sleep alone at night, it was inevitable that she would sometimes wake up crying from nightmares, and she would be extremely sad at that time, and she needed someone to comfort her.

Shen Xi smiled: "It won't be long, your father and grandmother will soon arrive in the capital, and you will be able to meet them then." ”

"Uh-huh."

Yin Wen has great trust in Shen Xi, what Shen Xi says is what she is, in fact, with Shen Xi accompanying her, even if she can't see her mother and grandmother, she won't be sad.

Shen Xi put on his clothes and got out of bed.

Xiao Nizi happily helped Shen Xi tie her clothes and thoughtfully sorted out Shen Xi's clothes. After a while, Xie Yun'er personally brought a basin of hot water in, and joked with a smile: "Yo, whose little girl is this so sweet?" ”

Yin Wen was very happy, but also a little shy, and drilled behind Shen Xi, at this time Hong'er carried Shen Ping into the courtyard, followed by the nurse who had just been invited...... Aunt Lin.

At first, Xie Yuner insisted on taking care of the child herself, but after she finished the confinement, she found that she was indeed a little "powerless", especially when she had to come over to spend the night with Shen Xi at night, and the child needed to be fed and taken care of, so she couldn't be distracted by her energy alone.

Therefore, she finally invited a nurse to come back, the nurse was responsible for taking care of Shen Ping at night, and Xie Yun'er took care of her during the day, so that adults and children could be at the same time.

It's a pity that there is no milk powder these days, and to feed a child, in addition to the mother, it is more necessary to invite a nurse, if it is an ordinary family, it may have to rely on feeding rice paste, but Shen Xi is a person of status after all, and he can't worry about this bit of silver, mainly so that Xie Yun'er can save a little.

Shen Xi stepped forward to look at Shen Ping.

At this time, the little guy had just eaten and slept soundly, Shen Xi smiled and sipped on his face, and then the family went to the front yard to have breakfast, and then went to the study to hand over the letter written yesterday to Xie Yun'er.

Xie Yun'er took it in her hand, her eyes widened, and she looked at Shen Xi in disbelief: "Xianggong, this is the capital, even if there are thieves, don't dare to come to the official residence of the emperor to make trouble, right?" ”

"Who is sure? It's better to be prepared! I have asked Zhu to take care of the house, don't go out on weekdays, everything will be back to normal when the township test is over. Shen Xi instructed.

"Xianggong said, the concubine body has been recorded." Xie Yun'er nodded and said, "Tomorrow, the prime minister is going to the tribute court, I don't know what to prepare?" ”

"It's mainly a change of clothes, I can't come back for almost a month this time, and I need you to take care of my family." Shen Xi said, "I still have something to do today, and I'll come back to accompany you in the afternoon." ”

What Shen Xi needs to guard against now is that the Shuntian Mansion may be plotting against it.

He doesn't accept gifts, which means that he doesn't sell the face of Shuntianfu, and Shuntianfu accepts a lot of bribes to open the door for those scholars who have paid money, and no one wants the road to him to be blocked.

Wealth and power are the easiest to lose, if those people secretly play conspiracy and fighting methods, Shen Xi himself has nothing, he is afraid that the women and children in the family will be affected by him.

On the last day before entering the Tribute Academy, Shen Xi first went to the Zhan Mansion and the Hanlin Academy, and explained the work at hand. In fact, Shen Xi didn't have many errands, nothing more than teaching the prince to read, or sorting out and archiving the weekday lectures for Emperor Hongzhi's spot check.

Then Shen Xi went to Guozijian to see Xie Duo.

On the one hand, Shen Xi asked Xie Duo for advice on how to spend time in the Tribute Courtyard for a month, and on the other hand, he told Xie Duo about his current situation, in addition to asking Xie Duo to help with the details, he asked him to take care of the family, and if something happened, he could lend a helping hand in time.

After seeing Xie Duo, Shen Xi only had one thing he couldn't let go, and that was Hui Niang's business.

……

……

Hui Niang's actions are becoming more and more extreme, but Shen Xi has no way to persuade her, because Hui Niang has now regarded Shen Xi as an "enemy" and classified him as a minion of those in power, so that now Hui Niang has no decision, let alone discussing with Shen Xi, and even saying hello to him.

During this time, after Hui Niang had a fixed sales channel in several pharmacies, she began to operate a pharmaceutical factory to produce finished medicines, and hired a doctor to sit in the hall to diagnose patients.

This is not the end, taking advantage of the township test year, and the next year will be the test, Hui Niang opened a printing workshop and two bookstores near Chongwenmen, specializing in printing and selling some Chengwen reference books, in order to connect the business in Tingzhou.

Shen Xi guessed that the next step was to hire someone to come back and print color New Year pictures and comic books, and even publish a color illustrated version of "Golden Vase Plum" that was intrigued.

Because when Hui Niang moved her family to the capital, she brought with her the stereotypes that she had earned a lot of silver, and now she just lacks some knowledgeable printers around her.

This is a woman who acts radically, not satisfied with the bland, and Shen Xi's persuasion is only exchanged for Hui Niang's hostility, as if she wants to demonstrate and counterattack Shen Xi's ingratitude.

If Hui Niang only runs a pharmacy and a printing shop, Shen Xi is not very worried, the problem is that Hui Niang also runs some rice and grain businesses that buy low and sell high.

The waterway transportation in the capital was monopolized by the Yamen, the Ministry of Households, and all the ships entering Beijing were confiscated by the imperial court, so Hui Niang went to Tongzhou and rented dozens of boats to continue to help people do transportation business. Song Xiaocheng said before that Hui Niang took people out of the capital for a few days, and she was coordinating the leasing of boats.

Shen Xi felt that it was necessary to remind Hui Niang that anything involving the national capital, such as rice, grain, salt, tea, cloth, ironware, etc., would be used to open the knife with private capital once the imperial court was tense, and even the trafficking of large-scale medicinal materials might become the target of the imperial court.

Printing New Year's pictures, storybooks, comic books, and anthologies, the government will not be embarrassed by you, because these things are not necessities of life. But when it comes to rice and grain, the accounts of the household department have always been very tight, and the plundering of private capital by the imperial court is very frequent and severe.

It's a pity that Hui Niang lacks foresight, she can only see what can make money, and she doesn't realize that there are great policy risks behind it.

After Shen Mingjun and Zhou left the capital, Shen Xi only met Hui Niang once when Shen Ping was full moon, and after that meeting, Hui Niang completely "parted ways" with him. Maybe it was Shen Xi's words that hurt her, which made Hui Niang completely "dead" to Shen Xi, she felt that I didn't need to rely on you to do business, I have manpower and money, and I have a business mind, and I will definitely be able to do better without your constraints.

Hui Niang is actually breathing a sigh of relief, she is not short of money, nor does she pursue great wealth, she just wants to find a chance to prove herself and prove that she can succeed if she leaves Shen Xi.

Shen Xi didn't know why Hui Niang was so extreme, but even if he was ruthless, he would wake up Hui Niang and let her know her way back.

Since Hui Niang took over the business in the capital, she always goes out early and returns late, and she has to be busy until late every day before going home, and only Xiaoyu can help her by her side.

Shen Xi learned from Xiaoyu that Hui Niang was not immersed in sadness and remembrance of the past, but left everything behind and acted in a hurry, even the shopkeepers of some time-honored brands in the capital were afraid of her, because the monopoly and suppression used by Hui Niang usually made other merchants feel menacing, and then gave birth to hostility.

Hui Niang only thinks that she has high prestige, but she doesn't know that all this is because Shen Xi's official background and the forces run by Song Xiaocheng support her. After the initial results, Hui Niang began to expand aggressively, taking the initiative to discuss cooperation matters with many Fujian businessmen, and some Fujian grain merchants took the opportunity to join the Fujian Association established by Hui Niang.

Shen Xi went to the Lu Mansion of Jiaozhongfang and found that Lu Xi'er was the only one at home, and there was no one to accompany her in the huge mansion at this time, so she stayed at home every day to do embroidery work, and Hui Niang would check it when she came back at night, and if she didn't do well, she would be scolded at every turn. Hui Niang was afraid that Lu Xi'er would run around on weekdays, so sometimes she simply locked her in the boudoir.

Seeing Shen Xi, Lu Xi'er hugged Shen Xi and cried for a long time.

"Since Aunt Sun doesn't have time to take care of you, I'll go and tell her, let you come to my house, and let your sister Dai'er accompany you." Shen Xi disagreed with Hui Niang's way of disciplining her daughter.

In the past, although Hui Niang didn't take much care of Lu Xi'er, she cherished her daughter very much, knowing that she was busy with her career and neglected her family affection, and felt ashamed of her daughter, and would compensate Lu Xi'er mentally and materially.

But after arriving in the capital, Hui Niang felt that Lu Xi'er's attachment to Shen Xi was too strong, and she felt that her daughter had betrayed her, so she put her hatred for Shen Xi and the Shen family on her daughter.

Since he has promised Shen Xi that he wants to send his daughter to the Shen family as a concubine, that is the water that he wants to spill out, why should he cherish the love of mother and daughter too much?

Shen Xi took Lu Xi'er out of the Lu Mansion, and the two took a carriage and went to the headquarters of the Fujian Township Association near the Minsheng Teahouse, not wanting to pounce on the air, it turned out that Hui Niang was negotiating with foreign merchants about the purchase of rice and grain, and the employees of the Fujian Township Association did not know where this capable female leader was.

"Lord Shen, why don't you go back and wait first, and when the big boss comes back, we will inform her." The employees of the Fujian Association were very respectful when they saw Shen Xi, and the reason why they were willing to obey Hui Niang's dispatch was also because they hoped to be protected by Shen Xi, rather than succumbing to a strong woman.

Shen Xi said: "Remember to tell your boss, you must come to my house today, no matter how late I will wait for her." ”

After the explanation, Shen Xi came out of the main hall, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Because he felt that he and Hui Niang had drifted apart.
