Chapter 140: Swimming in the Lake

The little brother got into the cabin, "Guest, something has been bought." ”

Min Yan was obviously relieved to see Shen Cheng.

She couldn't help but be even more curious, Shen Cheng had always given her the impression that she was above board, and it was rare to hide it like this.

The little brother put the basket on the table, and Minyan said, "Thank you, put the things here, let's just come by ourselves, trouble the little brother to untie the rope." ”

"Okay, let's go, little one."

The little brother went out, and after a while, he felt the boat slowly drifting towards the lake, and it should have been the little brother who pushed it.

Without calling anyone, Shen Cheng consciously went to the stern of the boat to row, and when he looked from Minyan, he only saw lotus leaves and lotus flowers on the lake, which were gently dialed to both sides by the round bow.

Min Yan only felt a little irritated because Shen Cheng was hiding something from her.

Whatever the reason for this concealment, she was a little upset.

Touching the string of Buddhist beads that had been put on from the new one on her hand, Minyan's heart gradually calmed down.

The Buddhist beads given by the master, because she knew its preciousness from the Empress Dowager De, was originally kept at home, and she almost forgot about it.

A few days ago, the news of his death came, and he was remembered again.

I heard that it was the end of the first month, but Ankokuji Temple didn't make a big deal about it, so it wasn't known to everyone in Kyoto until a few days ago.

After the death of such a high-ranking monk, I can imagine how shocked I was.

Thinking of the kind old monk, Min Yan put on this string of Buddhist beads by mistake.

Shen Cheng was rowing, and after seeing it for so long, Min Yan didn't say a word, and the things on the table didn't move.

The boat was already some distance from the lake, and he threw down his oars and sat down across from her.

Open the contents of the basket and place them on the table.

Min Yan glanced at him lightly, and the indifference in her eyes made Shen Cheng stiffen.

Shen Cheng quietly opened all the paper bags.

Minyan raised her hand and pulled the bamboo curtain up.

The bamboo curtains on both sides of the boat are alive and can be pulled up and lowered at will, just to let the guests choose for themselves, whether they want to see the scenery in the lake, or prefer to be alone in a confined space.

After everything was laid out, Shen Chengcai took a deep breath and said, "It's not that I don't want to talk to the county lord, but I don't know how to speak." ”

"If you don't know how to speak, needless to say, this county lord has no habit of forcing people."

Shen Cheng was not that stupid, so he naturally heard the opposite meaning in her words.

"The county lord knows that war casualties are very normal, and he sacrifices for the country every year, and he doesn't know how many ......"

In short, the income from his property is used to subsidize the families of those who have been killed or injured.

Somehow, Min-yeon breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't used to support women.

It's just that Min Yan still looks like she doesn't care, and Shen Cheng can't hold what she thinks.

Min-yeon: "Doesn't the imperial court have a pension silver?" ”

Speaking of this, Shen Cheng's face turned obviously cold, "Five taels per person, but in the hands of the soldiers' families, there are less than two taels." ”

"How much silver will the general have to make up every month?"

“…… Two taels per household, more than 10,000 taels a month. ”

For Minyan, who has never worried about money, she doesn't know how much wealth the two taels are for the ordinary people, she only knows that the two taels are not enough for her to go to the teahouse to drink tea, but it adds up a lot.

"No wonder the general is so poor, but who takes care of your property, fourteen shops sell something, and there is not even an income of 10,000 taels every month, so you should ask."

Speaking of which, Shen Cheng was hesitant again.

Min Yan glanced over, and Shen Cheng sighed helplessly, anyway, it's almost the same, it's not bad!

"Two coffin shops, two furniture shops, and some I don't know very well, are all in charge of Mr. Hu."

You can imagine the wonderful expression on Minyan's face when she heard the coffin shop.

So no wonder Shen Cheng was embarrassed.

"You...... It's all about wood......"

"The wood is cut by the brothers on the mountain, and there is no need to ...... capital"

All right!

"It's just that I don't think Mr. Hu is a business material, if you believe me, I have a ...... under my hand."

"Naturally, I believed."

Minyeon's eyes widened, and she didn't know how to continue.

"Listen to me."

Shen Cheng......

"I have a Lu Youye under my hand, and all my properties are taken care of by him, if you believe it, give me those shops, not to mention anything else, it is not difficult to get 10,000 taels a month."

Shen Cheng didn't even hesitate at all, as if he wished for this, "I'll ask someone to deliver the deed to you when I go back." ”

"No, you just need to find an acquaintance and hand it over."

—————

Min Yan couldn't help but think, no wonder Shen Cheng felt very depressed when he went to Shen Cheng that time, and thought that he was informal, and he was following the flow of things, and it turned out that he was poor......

Now that it's all said, Min-yeon is also in the mood to eat.

I took a palm-sized pancake and took a bite, an inconspicuous pancake, but I didn't expect it to taste very good.

The skin is sprinkled with a little sesame seeds, baked crispy, and the inside is also wrapped in meat foam, and when you take a bite, the mouth is full of meat aroma mixed with the aroma of scones, and there is a little sesame fragrance.

Before you know it, a piece of bread is in your stomach.

Look at Shen Cheng in front of him again, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

Looking at Minyan's delicate way of eating, Shen Cheng deeply felt how disgusted he was when he ate noodles that time.

It's just that Minyan asked, and he picked up a piece of cake and chewed it slowly like her.

It's just that I don't feel like it's enjoyable, and I thought, I'd better wait until I go home to make it back!

You can't let your daughter-in-law dislike it so much before you have a family!

Seeing Shen Cheng eating so slowly, Min Yan couldn't help but wonder, "If General Shen is not hungry, you don't need to accommodate me." ”

When the words fell, a thunderous cry sounded in the stomach of the person opposite.

Shen Cheng's face tightened, that's called an embarrassment! I just feel that the cake in my mouth is not fragrant.

Min Yan sneered, "The general can't be embarrassed because he was told last time and thinks he was too rude!" ”

Shen Cheng didn't speak, and Min Yan said with a smile, "I will have to live in the future, the general just needs to conform to his own habits, and there is no need to accommodate me." ”

Such a Shen Cheng, Min Yan inexplicably felt a little cute.

I'm going to live in the future......

Min Yan didn't know which sentence hit his weakness, although Shen Cheng didn't smile, but his cold and hard eyebrows and eyes obviously relaxed.

So, Shen Cheng used his stormy posture again.

Only this time, he finally knew that he had converged and didn't make much movement.

Minyan saw that he was eating well, a piece of cake was in his hand, and it was gone in three or two bites, and her dark and vigorous cheeks were agitated up and down, and even the scar that she had always thought was ugly was not so annoying.

Shen Cheng was a little unnatural by his gaze.

said he didn't care, in fact, he would still dislike it, he had seen Yun Xi eating, it was really like a painting, romantic, elegant, but so casual.

As a result, Shen Cheng felt that the cake that had just been scented now tasted like chewing wax.

Min-yeon saw that something was wrong with him and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?" ”
