In the evening, Cai Dong brings dinner. Shen Kan, who was reading the Book of Poetry, looked down and saw that a bowl of fried shrimp with sesame mushroom sauce, a bowl of stewed pigeon soup with ham, two side dishes mixed with jellyfish and shallots and tofu, and a pot of good daughter red, all suited to his taste.

Putting down the book, Shen Kan rubbed his hands and smiled: "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant."

"Eat fragrant rice or lily porridge?" Cai Dong chuckled.

"Naturally, I want rice, and I want to eat three bowls." After Shen Kan finished speaking, he turned his head to Aunt Jin in the stove room and said, "If there are more people who eat fragrantly, don't worry about any rules."

"Eat first." Aunt Jin refused with a smile, and occasionally ate at a table, for fear of being bumped into by outsiders.

"I'll be with you. Come, here you go. Cai Dong was not afraid, and after the meal, he sat down with a smile.

"Eat." Shen Kan picked up the chopsticks and first sandwiched a piece of ham for the little girl.

After a while, I was full after eating half a bowl, I got up and rinsed my mouth, washed my hands, sat down to drink tea, and asked: "You said yesterday that you want to draw patterns, you want to buy a house in Haixian County, and turn it into a warehouse, can it be done?"

"It's a pity that I heard that it was bought by a merchant." Shen Kan sighed.

"Why buy a house there?" Caidong continued to ask.

"I want to go to Shanghai from time to time, and I have to have a place to stay." Shen Kan smiled, "Don't underestimate it, it's a place where all directions converge, and it will definitely become a metropolis in the future." ”

Shen Kan's idea is very simple, Shanghai County is now a very important outlet to the sea, buy a small house near the wharf, convert it into a warehouse, and find a reliable person to do the resale trade.

If you can make money, buy more local land and open some shops. If it can be kept in the future, then it can be regarded as leaving an inheritance for future generations.

In addition, the three caves of cunning rabbits, through Shanghai-Hai, find a way to establish an industry overseas. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, future generations could move their families away in time.

Of course, he didn't want to change history, at least he had to work hard in his lifetime, so as soon as the fourth uncle came back, he immediately asked about the Shen clan in Texas, and tried to find an excuse to go to Shandong by the way, because Qi Jiguang seemed to be from Shandong.

Shen Kan has a high evaluation of Qi Jiguang, sweeping the Japanese in the south, Tatar in the north, and one of the few famous generals in the Ming Dynasty. If he can be persuaded to have the opportunity to lead his troops out of the pass, destroy the Manchu Qing in the bud, and send some masters to assassinate the Nurhachi-Wild Boar Pi family, then history will definitely change.

It is said that Nurhachi's name means wild boar skin in Manchu.

As a modern person, he will not be interested in the feudal imperial system, so it doesn't matter if the Ming Dynasty dies or not, but the wild boar skin must die, this is Shen Kan's only wish after crossing over, no matter what, even if it is his whole life.

If the boar skin is hung up and the Manchu Qing Dynasty still rises smoothly, then it doesn't matter to Shen Kan.

Cai Dong looked at him and said, "Why is the young master so busy all of a sudden? There are always things to do, and I feel sorry for me, but my mother said that you are old and know how to plan for the future, and said that you will move out sooner or later to stand on your own, right?"

"Self-reliant portal? Ha ha. Shen Kan laughed, "How is that possible?" As the eldest son, I have to feed my parents. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Kan's gaze became a little complicated, and he said softly: "I'm busy trying to do as much as possible, and when your father and your brother come back, I guess they will probably enter Beijing soon."

"Into Beijing?" Cai Dong immediately became excited and shouted, "I want to go with you, I have never been far away."

"Silly girl." Shen Kan shook his head, "What's so good about the capital?" Fish and dragons are mixed, there are many people and chaos, and it is the most black and white place. Besides, it's cold in the north, and the family over there doesn't know the details, so why do you go to an unknown place to ask for hardship?"

"It's scary." Cai Dong stuck out his tongue, "The young master is his wife's own child, and when he goes over there, he is the real young master, the son of a dignified Beijing official family, not as good as looking at people's faces everywhere here, like a concubine?" Besides, if people go to a high place, I will have to wait to see you put on a black gauze hat, and when that time comes, will they envy me?"

"You." Shen Kan laughed dumbly.

At the same time, his 'mother', that is, Mrs. Shen, who was far away in the capital, was taking out her son's letter again, rubbing it carefully, as if caressing her son's cheek, and then carefully unfolded it to take a closer look.

"Mother's knees: the unfilial man is far away in his hometown, smiling for a long time, loving the day, always dreaming of going north, and the family is reunited.

Jingwei's mother is too peaceful to take care of, and the jade body is full of comfort. On November 12, I received a letter from home in my hometown, knowing that everyone in my family was healthy and overjoyed.

Since the ancestors went to Dingjia, it has been passed down to the present, seven generations of scholars, and even Qingjin has not yet been, and it is difficult to be ashamed. I once wanted to abandon Confucianism and be ashamed of my ancestors, and I was ashamed of the high hopes of my parents, so I was ready to make another list. Now that my grandfather has allowed me, I will redouble my efforts when I enter school this spring.

Thanks to the protection of my parents, I now have good food and clothing, and my elders and siblings in the family treat their children well. The son of unfilial piety bows to southern Sunan!"

"Alas!"

Mrs. Shen rubbed her eyes, and after a while, she looked up and said to her daughter Shen Peining, who had just come in: "Mother misses your brother again, after so many years, Mother can't stand her son."

"Mother." Shen Peining frowned, "Here it is again, back then, my father was worried that you were too spoiled, how do you know that you were sent to your hometown, several brothers have their parents and can still learn and succeed, but he is far away from his parents and is not angry, if this is here, in my opinion, it is the son of a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, it is better to be able to help the family over there to do things now, and it is not a waste." ”

"How can you say that about your brother? I'm. Mrs. Shen was annoyed, and her voice became higher, "You can't blame Kan'er if you can't learn, can you learn something by yourself?" This can help the family share their worries, just like your fourth uncle, I think my son is better than all his brothers. ”

"Okay, your son is good at everything, strong at everything, isn't this spoiling?" Shen Peining sneered, took the letter and looked at it, and said speechlessly: "Look at this handwriting, it is only better than the naughty boy who has just learned calligraphy."

"You go, you go." Mrs. Shen became more and more unhappy, took the letter back, folded it and carried it in her arms.

This move made Shen Peining very speechless, and he looked down on his own brother very much.

"I don't need you anymore, you can go, I'll write it myself." Mrs. Shen said angrily.

"Isn't it possible if the child is wrong?" Shen Peining chuckled, inadvertently pursed her lips slightly, picked up the pen, wrote something like her mother was happy, and then turned the pen.

"Chanting together can be soothing to the soul, but it can only be done occasionally, not as a proper lesson, and the same is true for mundane affairs. Its general citizenship is based on the eight shares of the current text...... Thou shalt tell the Master to supervise the examination of the texts of the times, at least one per day. Another word will inevitably make parents embarrassed, be sure to copy three articles a day......"

"You kid." Mrs. Shen was angry and laughed when she saw this, and she beat her daughter with a false gesture, and said angrily: "I really haven't seen you do this, sister, I'm about to catch up with my stepmother."

"If the jade is not cut, it will not be a weapon, although it has long been a stubborn stone."

Shen Peining, who wrote well, was not in the mood to continue writing, so she hurriedly finished her mouth and said to Nunu outside, "Your other son swore that he would be admitted to Tongsheng this year." ”

"It's not uncommon for me to pass the Jinshi examination." Mrs. Shen snorted coldly.

"My dad is rare, okay, I'll go." Shen Peining pursed her lips and smiled, got up and got off the kang, "My aunt asked me to teach him well, I agreed, this one is not productive, but it can't be both." ”

Seeing her daughter go out, Mrs. Shen said softly: "It's in vain that you girl is a ghost elf, but you can't see through Zuo'er's details, if he can make a living, then I am willing to give up the main room, you are exactly the same as your Lao Tzu, but you are very confused under your nose!"

couldn't help but take out her son's letter again, and Mrs. Shen smiled while stroking: "I just believe in the fourth brother and his wife, what kind of shrewd people are they?" Every time I write a letter, I praise my son for being good, then my son must be good!"

"Satsuki, come in."

"Here we go."

The curtain was lifted, and the maid Xiaoyue walked in quickly. Mrs. Shen asked, "Did you give Shen Gui the silver?"

"Given." Satsuki nodded.

"Hmm." Mrs. Shen instructed: "Don't tell anyone, your young master will inevitably have entertainment when he is older, how can a man act without money outside?"
