Now the Ming Dynasty is facing such a situation, the imperial court has repeatedly lost money, the household department can be called an empty department, if the officials are not greedy for ink, I am afraid that the whole family will starve to death on the streets.

The Ming Dynasty's Yulu was not high, but now it has been delayed again and again, and the taxes of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been received for more than ten years, and military expenditures have been increasing.

It's just that under such circumstances, the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan have spent a lot of money, and the children of the royal family have also prevailed in luxury, which forms a stark contrast.

"I don't know what good ideas I have without words?"

When Xu Wenchang asked, Shen Wuyan just smiled, but did not answer his question, but said: "The affairs in the court are naturally solved by the court, and it is best for you and me to do our own responsibilities now." ”

"That's just as well." Xu Wenchang nodded, and didn't ask.

Shen Wuyan naturally knew where to start with these ills of the imperial court, but after all, it was a large state machine, and it was not good to solve these ills, it was just man-made.

Pay attention to the right time and place to do things, and now there is neither time nor place, and people can't talk about it, so they simply don't mention these things.

Xu Wenchang came and went, and he was going to get married tomorrow, but he didn't seem to be very happy, most of it was related to his previous deceased wife, but Shen Wuyan didn't mention it.

After identifying the herbs and medicinal properties for a while, Shen Wuyan and Yue'er packed up and walked to Li's house.

The Li family's mansion was not far from the vicinity of Shen Yuan back then, and Shen Wuyan had been here a few times before, but most of them were talking about business before, but today they came to talk about marriage.

As soon as he walked to the door of the mansion, looking at the Li family's mansion with the four doors open, Shen Wuyan hesitated slightly.

"I'm going to see my mother-in-law soon...... It's so nervous. Shen Wuyan quipped at Yue'er.

Yue'er pursed her lips and chuckled: "Since the separation, I haven't seen the young master nervous, even the guys from the Immortal Residence are not nervous when they want to come over and tear down the store." ”

It has been a few months since the store was demolished, and at that time, after the tea party in Deyuelou, several guys from Jixianju wanted to come over to demolish the store under the banner of the prefect's yamen, but they were later ignored by Shen Wuyan.

"Your young master, I have no money, no house, no car...... Can such a person be liked by a mother-in-law? Shen Wuyan paused, and suddenly asked again, "Do you know what a mother-in-law is?" ”

Yue'er was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly said: "Young master, you said that you are the mother of Sister Wan'er." ”

"Nope." Shen Wuyan neatly denied Yue'er's words, and then under Yue'er's questioning gaze, he said coldly: "Mother-in-law is ...... The root of all evil. ”

"Oh......" Yue'er heard that Shen Wuyan was joking, so she didn't continue, but walked forward to find the doorman and handed over the prayer post.

Li Xingchang had been waiting in the living room for a long time, and when he saw Shen Wuyan and the others walking in, he immediately raised his head and smiled, motioned for Shen Wuyan to sit aside, and then said: "Originally, it was a predetermined thing, but it was criticized by outsiders because of some rumors before, and today I just came to discuss the time of the wedding." ”

"It's all up to you, uncle." Shen Wuyan said sincerely.

Li Xingchang looked at Shen Wuyan and was quite satisfied, the Shen Wuyan in front of him was no longer the nerd who was studying hard, but a young man with good manners and achievements.

"Wan'er means that she wants to get to know her son for a while, but she can't walk around when she is in the boudoir...... What the old man meant was that he could take her out in person without words. ”

Shen Wuyan was stunned, how could he have taken him out even though he hadn't gotten married? What would you say if you were seen by outsiders......

Shen Wuyan didn't say this idea explicitly, but Li Xingchang obviously saw it, and he smiled: "What outsiders think of it doesn't actually have much impact, the key is that you have to recognize it without words, and ...... In this way, the young master of the Hu family will not come to entangle. ”

Shen Wuyan nodded in response, and Li Xingchang's last sentence was to the point, which was nothing more than wanting to clear up the relationship with the Hu family.

Although ordinary businessmen will not know so much about the affairs in the court, Li Xingchang will naturally not be an ordinary businessman, since he can become an imperial businessman, he will also participate a little in the court and even in the palace.

Shen Wuyan didn't say what Li Xingchang thought, no matter what Li Xingchang thought, there would be no problem with Li Wan'er's thoughts, so there was no need to mind this, even if the future father-in-law wanted to take advantage of him.

Speaking of which, Li Xingchang was using himself from the beginning, but Shen Wuyan didn't notice it at first, and when he understood it, the other party had already stopped, and this was not too harmful to himself, it was nothing more than making an enemy for himself for no reason.

"On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a friend got married, and there is also a poetry meeting in Zhou Yuan, so let Wan'er go with you when the time comes."

As soon as this opinion was mentioned, Li Xingchang was naturally overjoyed, agreed repeatedly, and then hurriedly ordered someone to call Li Wan'er over, and then continued: "The marriage between the two of you, I have set it for tomorrow in May, and now there is more than half a year to prepare. …… In addition, the old man Shen is no longer there, everything is still simple, what do you think of the wordlessness? ”

Shen Wuyan nodded: "It's all up to you." ”

After that, the travel issues were roughly arranged, and then Shen Wuyan and Li Wan'er talked privately about the problems in the next few days, and planned to go back.

Just as Shen Wuyan was getting up, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and it didn't seem like one or two people.

At the time of the pause, more than a dozen people were already standing in the tearoom.

The leader was a very old man, who was wearing a dragon's head cane and had a white beard, but his eyes were glaring at Shen Wuyan angrily, looking very disdainful, and he sneered: "Just this kid can enter my Li family?" ”

Shen Wuyan was slightly stunned, then got up and saluted the old man, and then said, "Old man, I'm afraid that you have made a mistake, the junior did not enter your Li family, but Wan'er entered my Shen family." ”

The gap between this word is actually the difference between the son-in-law and the Ming media being married, and the son-in-law is the inverted door, in fact, for Shen Wuyan, it is nothing, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is an act of insulting ancestors.

was directly refuted by Shen Wuyan, the old man was even more angry, and immediately slammed his crutches on the ground, and was about to get angry, but another middle-aged man with a goatee came out of the crowd.

He nodded slightly towards Li Xingchang: "How can the eldest brother not know about Wan'er's marriage, and it needs to be discussed with the family before it can be decided?" ”

Li Xingchang's face turned pale, and he sneered: "My daughter Li Xingchang, I will give it to whoever I like, and I will give you three rooms?" ”

While saying a word here, Li Wan'er gradually told Shen Wuyan about some of the situations in the Li family on the side.

It turned out that the old man was the seventh uncle of the oldest old man in the Li family, who was a generation older than Li Xingchang, but all the power of the Li family had been handed over to Li Xingchang over the years, so he was not in charge, but he had a lot of weight in the family.

Then the goatee is Li Xingchang's third brother, and there are four people of Li Xingchang's generation, this goatee is named Li Xinglong, and he is mainly responsible for the Li family's industry in Zhejiang over the years.

There are also two people who are not present at this time, and they probably disdain to participate in this kind of thing.

Seeing Li Xingchang's arguments, the seventh uncle immediately became even more angry: "Not to mention whether the marriage between you and the Shen family was reasonable back then, let's just say that the Shen family can be compared with the Hu family today?" The marriage of children is important at the door, where is this kid surnamed Shen worthy of my Li family. ”

This sentence is also true, since the Li family got the imperial business, its status in Suzhou is second only to Deyue Tower, and the Shen family restaurant is far from the Li family no matter how you look at it.

The seventh uncle spoke here, and Li Xinglong did not stop, and said busily: "What the seventh uncle said is reasonable, you said that no matter whether it is intelligence or ability, the Hu family kid is impeccable, on the other hand, this Shen Gongzi ...... It's a little better, but it's not really useful. ”

Shen Wuyan, who was on the side, also heard this ridicule, but he didn't care much about it, after all, why Hu Yuming finally left Suzhou, he didn't know very well, but it definitely wouldn't be himself.

Besides, Hu Yuming is indeed quite intelligent and ruthless, if he really killed himself that night, then the matter can be understood.

"In addition, now that my Li family has taken the imperial business, there is a great demand for raw silk, and the Hu family just provides it for my Li family, if it is cut off, it is really ...... It's a pity. ”

Li Xingchang still refused to give in, and said in a deep voice: "Without the Hu family, there are other families, but it is not without the Hu family, my Li family will not be able to live." …… In addition, third brother, you should send it back as soon as possible after receiving the Hu family's silver. ”

"This ......" Li Xinglong was stunned, this matter can be said to be very secret, but I don't know how this big brother knows, and he doesn't dare to say anything else at this time, for fear that Li Xingchang is shaking out other things.

It's just that the seventh uncle still didn't give up, he stepped forward and pointed at Shen Wuyan and said, "I saw this kid back then, he was a nerd, what benefits do you expect him to bring to my Li family?" ”

Li Xingchang was helpless about this seventh uncle, after all, the other party's qualifications were the highest in the family, looking at Shen Wuyan, who was sitting calmly drinking tea, Li Xingchang suddenly felt embarrassed.

“…… Look, there are still some family matters to deal with here, let's talk about it another day. ”

was about to leave, but this happened, Shen Wuyan smiled indifferently, then glanced back at these menacing people, hugged his fists and said, "I hope you don't embarrass Uncle Li,...... Also, let the time do the talking. ”

After saying this, Shen Wuyan and Yue'er left in the surprised eyes of everyone, and even the eyes of the seventh uncle hesitated slightly, and only reacted after a long time, and said even more angrily: "When is the time to speak?" Unless I die, I will not agree to this marriage. ”

Seeing the tension in the field, Li Wan'er also quietly left from the side, and then slipped out of the back door and ran towards the bookstore street.
