What is the situation of the Shen family now?

Others may not know, but Shen Congwu knows very well what situation the Shen family is facing now.

There are more than one family in Jingzhong who are eyeing the Shen family's industry, and those people are slowly swallowing up some of the Shen family's industries. In the past month, the shopkeepers of three stores have defected from the Shen family, and they have taken away the account books in the store, taken away the reliable customers, and also taken away the huge wealth of the Shen family.

Among these people who coveted the Shen family's wealth, some people even said that the Shen family would definitely have nothing left within three months.

The government knew that someone was going to deal with the Shen family, but the identity of the Shen family was very embarrassing after all, and those officials who received the money did not dare to protect them too much. In addition, there are people behind those people who are supporting, and there are not many officials who consider the problem from the position of the Shen family.

After receiving the money with a little conscience, he helped to say a few innocuous words to delay the complete decline of the Shen family; I didn't have a conscience and directly accepted the money, but I didn't know about it.

If this were not the case, Shen Honglian would not have had to go all the way to Fuzhou with a million taels of silver as a daughter and a place where she was unfamiliar with life.

To be precise, the Shen family has reached a point of life and death.

The appearance of Zhang Ru made Shen Congwu see new hope, but this new hope was the price of Shen Honglian's happiness in the second half of her life.

"Master Hou, can you let the old man think about it?" Shen Congwu asked tentatively.

Zhang Ru's face suddenly turned cold: "Elder Shen, I respect you for your age, so I call you Elder Shen." Do you think that I am a dignified marquis of the Ming Dynasty and personally condescended to your merchant family, just to give you a room to think? Since Benhou is here, he must get an answer today.

You promise, in the future, the affairs of your Shen family will be the affairs of my Dingbian Hou Mansion, and if anyone dares to do anything to your Shen family in the future, it will be impossible to get along with my Dingbian Hou Mansion. Business above the seventy-three stores of the Xuan Trading Company across the country will give you full support, personnel, Jinyi Wei on the front, tens of thousands of people in the middle of the country can be dispatched.

If you don't agree, Ben Hou won't say anything, just turn his face and leave. ”

Shen Congwu hesitated for a while, and suddenly raised his head: "What Hou Ye said is true!" ”

Zhang Ru said: "A gentleman's words are quick and a whip!" ”

Shen Congwu gritted his back molars and made a decision: "Okay, the old man will promise the Hou Ye, this matter between Fan Tong and Miss, the old man can't see anything, can't hear anything." But the old and ugly words are ahead, if the young lady doesn't like him, no one can force the young lady to agree. ”

Zhang Ru nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, refreshing!" Elder Shen, today, even if our family has met, if there is anything in the future, you can directly send someone to Dingbian Hou Mansion to find me. Of course, it's no problem to find your grandson-in-law, many times, he speaks more effectively than Benhou. ”

Shen Congwu didn't hear the ambiguous words in Zhang Ru's words, and nodded with a forced smile.

After a few idle words, Zhang Ru said goodbye and left, and before leaving, he took away the two catties of Longjing before the rain that Shen Congwu had collected.

Along the way, Fan Tong lowered his head and didn't dare to raise his head like a child who had done something wrong. Wang Zhou was clueless, and although his words were a little bitter, they were full of concern.

Zhang Ru didn't speak all the way, and his expression was very flat, so that people couldn't tell if he was angry.

When he was about to return to the Hou Mansion, Zhang Ru, who was walking in the front, suddenly paused and looked back at Fan Tong: "Do you know what is wrong?" ”

Fan Tong trembled, and immediately said in a small mosquito-like voice: "The last general will know his mistake." ”

Zhang Ru clasped his hands to his chest: "Tell me, what's wrong." ”

Fan Tong snorted: "The last general should not rashly go to the Shen Mansion to steal his daughter's birthday, and the last general should not have a conflict with the people of the Shen family." ”

Zhang Ru was a little sad about his misfortune and slapped Fan Tong on the shoulder: "Fart, I can't even find a key point, no wonder I don't know how to confess to a woman." You are wrong, you are wrong because you shouldn't run to the Shen family without telling anyone, you are wrong, you shouldn't let the people of the Shen family beat you up.

Remember the fuck to Lao Tzu, you are a person from the Dingbian Hou Mansion, and you are my Zhang Wenxuan's person. You went out to represent the face of the Dingbian Hou Mansion and the face of my Zhang Wenxuan.

Whoever gives you a face is giving Lao Tzu a face, and whoever beats you is setting the face of the Bianhou Mansion.

I don't care about you this time, if there is a next time, you don't have to say sorry to me, let alone admit your mistakes with me, go by yourself! ”

He is the kind of typical short-term protector, and he is the most disadvantaged to see his own people suffer. Usually he said a lot of things to his brothers, but this time Fan Tong still suffered, which made his heart suddenly become nameless.

If it weren't for the fact that the people who beat Fan Tong were all members of the Shen family, and Fan Tong was now ******** pounced on Shen Honglian, he would definitely not let go of the people of the Shen family easily.

Zhang Ru asked himself if he was a small-bellied character, but he didn't think he was a compassionate person. He only knows one thing, only if you are strong, no one will dare to bully you.

Listening to Zhang Ru's words, Fan Tong felt embarrassed, he actually lost the face of the Hou Mansion for a woman.

Wang Zhou looked a little gloomy when he saw him, and immediately jumped out and said, "Old Fan, Master Hou has to teach a lesson this time, you have to have a longer memory next time." Hou Ye is not such a face-saving person, what he can't see is that you are bullied and swallow the bitterness in your heart. ”

Fan Tong choked up and said, "I know, I know." ”

Zhang Ru said impatiently: "Close your beak, what do the old men look like when they cry." I really should let Fan Lao also see your useless appearance. Now I have paved the road for you, and it is up to you how you do it. Tomorrow, I will write a letter to the Fuzhou side, and try to let Xie Lun and Lei Yuan blow Shen Honglian away as soon as possible. ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves away.

Wang Zhou patted Fan Tong on the shoulder, and followed Zhang Ru's steps into the Dingbian Marquis Mansion.

The brothers who followed behind him also cast mocking glances at Fan Tong, everyone knew that Zhang Ru was beating Fan Tong, and they also knew that Zhang Ru's beating was just to keep Fan Tong from suffering.

Fan Tong's brain reaction was half a beat fuller than others, and until everyone left, he didn't understand why he was scolded.

That night, Zhang Ru worked hard in the study alone, there were six letters, one was written to Lei Yuan, the prefect of Fuzhou, the letter explained how to deal with Lei Yuan's affairs in Fuzhou, and told him who he could find for help when he really had no choice. By the way, he also said a word to let him hurry up and drive Shen Honglian away.

One was addressed to Xie Lun, and the tone and wording of this letter were obviously much more intimate and casual than Lei Yuan's. In the letter, he specially told him that he must find a way to get Shen Honglian back to the capital, and told him not to leak any rumors.

The third letter was written to Jiang Wei in Datong, in his heart, Zhang Ru scolded Jiang Wei in very harsh terms, nothing more than because Jiang Caiwei ran thousands of miles from Datong to Fuzhou to find his own business and was furious.

The fourth letter was addressed to Xu Li in Nanjing, who was different from the Duke of Baoguo in the capital. Zhu Yong, the Duke of Baoguo, obtained this position completely by his military exploits, and Xu Li relied on the blessing of his ancestors to get this position. Although Xu Li has also experienced a lot of wars, he is not as good as a general like Zhu Yong after all.

From a certain point of view, he thinks that Zhu Yong is more suitable to be a friend, but from another point of view, he thinks that Xu Li is the most suitable to cooperate with him.

The letter was basically full of pleasantries, and only at the end of the letter was a few special mentions of the matters that need to be paid attention to in the sea ban. By the way, he wrote his signature as Foolish Brother Wenxuan.

The fifth letter is addressed to Gu Qian, Tianjin is the first pilot of the sea ban, the southeast coast of Fujian is the second, and the third is Liaodong.

The current Liaodong has changed a lot compared with the early Ming Dynasty, but the population is still not very large, so he wrote a letter to Guiqian, hoping that Guiqian would use his identity and status to talk to the governor to encourage the people to have more children.

In this day and age, as long as there are people, everything is there.

There is a Bohai Bay in Liaodong, and that place is also a good breakthrough, and Dalian Port has also been put on his agenda.

As for the last letter, it was written to himself and to Su Qiqi, who had died. He missed Su Qiqi, and he was a little entangled in his heart, not knowing whether he should accept Jiang Caiwei, a beautiful woman by his side.

After writing the letter, he lay on the bed tossing and turning, and did not fall asleep until the ugly hour. When I woke up, it was already three poles of the sun, and I don't know when, the door of the room had been opened, and a pair of affectionate eyes looked at me so quietly.

The owner of the eyes is named Jiang Caiwei, a bold and beautiful woman in the rivers and lakes.

Zhang Ru got up in a bit of a panic, put on his clothes and hurriedly washed up, and threw down a sentence: "I want to enter the palace to face the saint today!" Then he fled and left the room.

He didn't see that after he was gone, there was a beautiful woman in his room, smiling like a fool.

Holding the sign of wearing the palace easily entered the palace, and walked straight into the Dongnuan Pavilion after Qin Ji's report, the emperor and the queen were playing Go, not looking like a eunuch at all, but a little like Wang Zhi, who was a good son, was watching the battle from the sidelines.

Hearing the footsteps, Zhu Youzhu didn't raise his head, and continued to ponder what to do next.

Zhang Ru walked over and picked up a white chess piece and put it on the grid: "That's it." ”

Zhu Youzhu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the expectation, and suddenly his face turned red: "Zhang Wenxuan, you stinky chess basket, do you play chess like this!" ”

It turned out that Zhang Ru did not fall into the position below, but stupidly filled a completely useless vacancy.

Zhang Yaoyao took advantage of the situation and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, you lost again." ”

Zhang Ru said lazily: "Ahem, Your Majesty, can you be a faint king, Go is a plaything that is demoralized if you play too much." Weichen didn't want His Majesty to waste the government, so he went down indiscriminately. ”

Zhu Youzhu threw the chess pieces on the chessboard angrily: "Okay, okay, it's all right for you anyway, why did you just enter the palace to see me today?" ”
