Chapter 41: Kneel in the Ancestral Hall Again

"When you marry the wife of a merchant family, you should have thought that you might give birth to a daughter like me, who loves money!"

As a result of saying this, Rong Yu was once again imprisoned in the ancestral hall and punished for kneeling......

After respectfully offering incense to her ancestors, she knelt on the puff mat and remembered the visitors of the Shen family today.

The young man who came was called Shen Xun, the only son of Mrs. Shen's biological brother, and the young master of the Shen family.

But later it was the young man who really inherited the Shen family's business, Shen Wenshui.

The old lady of the Shen family and his wife joined hands in the end of Wei, very affectionate, after the old lady of the Shen family made his career, he still respected his wife, although he had a concubine room and a room, but there was no concubine or concubine.

Old Madam Shen only has one pair of children, who are the father of Mrs. Shen and Shen Xun.

Shen Xun's father had a runaway encounter with a horse bandit and died early after being injured.

The only son died early and the grandson was young, so the old lady Shen had to choose a few middle-aged juniors from the clan to assist the Shen family's business, and Shen Wenshui was the son of one of the juniors.

Although Old Lady Shen is not Rong Yu's maternal grandfather, thinking of his life's encounters, Rong Yu also feels quite embarrassed in his heart.

His life illustrates a saying: good people may not be rewarded......

He was diligent all his life, did not lose his wife, kept his promises, and became a great man in the world from a small silk seller.

But both children are young, and grandchildren are withering......

The throne and the family wealth have all made wedding dresses for others......

Shen Wenshui first partnered with Rong Ying to do business, and then secretly assisted Duan Wang, gradually controlling the Shen family.

After the decline of the Ma family, the Quanzhou Gan family also withered.

Shen Xun went south to Quanzhou, married the young lady of the Gan family, and started a maritime businessman, and the world called the Shen family in Suzhou "North Shen", and the Shen family in Quanzhou as "South Shen".

But Bei Shen was supposed to be Shen Xun's......

……

The sky was getting dark, Rong Yu looked at the small window on the side wall and remembered Shao Beicheng.

She is now grounded, and he will go to the northwest border in the future, and I don't know if she has a chance to tell him not to trust others......

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a door opening behind her.

Will Rong Heng kindly let her out?!

Maybe there was a guest at home, so I let her out for dinner for the time being.

Rong Yu turned his head to look, only to see that the door of the ancestral hall opened a small crack, and a young man quickly got in through the crack in the door, and then the door closed again.

The young man carried a food box and walked towards Rong Yu in high spirits......

It was Shen Xun......

Rong Yu looked at him stunned......

He wore a royal blue embroidered silver thread wavy brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, a white silk embroidered gold moire cloak on his head, and a moist Dadong pearl embedded in the middle of the white jade crown in his hair......

As he walked, the silver thread on his brocade robe, the gold thread on his cloak, and the pearls on his crown folded the moonlight sprinkled in the patio, shining brightly......

Rong Yu was amazed.

Anyone who sees him will definitely sigh: He is really rich!

She thought back for a moment, and it didn't seem that he was wearing this when he first entered the mansion today......

Maybe he was very rich and had a lot of clothes, so he changed his clothes in half a day......

In this lukewarm early autumn, the same is true for the cloak already on......

Shen Xun, who was rich, walked up to Rong Yu and squatted down, looking at her without speaking.

Rong Yu thought secretly: Is this what it means to let her speak a few words of praise first?

Judging from Shen Xunti's food box, it was obvious that he was here to bring her snacks.

The crack in the door opened so small, it can be seen that Rong Heng didn't know......

Then she will praise him......

It's just that she really doesn't know how to boast about this shining body......

Fortunately, Shen Xun is handsome, otherwise, if a person who is ugly is wearing this, it is really difficult to look at it directly......

Rong Yu thought for a while and asked Shen Xundao: "Is it fashionable to dress like this in Suzhou now?" ā€

Suzhou and Hangzhou are wealthy, and they lead the fashion of the Great Zhou Dynasty in terms of dress and living habits.

Shen Xun didn't answer her question, but asked her, "What should you call me?" ā€

What should she call him......

According to the order of the Shen family, she used to be called Shen Wenshui's fourth cousin and Shen Xun's little cousin.

But now she is a woman in her twenties, and it is a little difficult for her to call a thirteen-year-old boy "little cousin......

Rong Yu smiled and said, "The two maids guarding the door are honest, the big sister couldn't let them open the door last time, how did you do it?" ā€

Shen Xun didn't care about her, and replied: "Because, money can make ghosts grind ......."

Rong Yu laughed sincerely.

Good one, money can make ghosts grind!

In her previous life, why didn't she notice that Shen Xun was such an interesting person?

Shen Xunyi smiled, he put down the food box, opened it and said to Rong Yu: "I brought you some snacks, you can pad them." ā€

Rong Yu looked into the food box, and the dim sum inside was delicate and colorful, some looked like peach blossoms, some looked like small fish, and there were transparent round cakes wrapped in cherry blossom petals in the middle......

It is a dim sum of the Wa Kingdom, and the Han people call it "Waguo......

Washi may be common in the Wa Kingdom, but when it was transported across the ocean to the Great Zhou, it became a rare thing.

She looked at the dim sum intently, and never thought that at this time, Shen Xun actually took off her cloak and put it on for her......

Rong Yu raised his eyes and looked at Shen Xun in surprise.

Why didn't she remember that she had such a friendly relationship with Shen Xun when she was a child?

Shen Xun avoided her gaze and suddenly asked her, "...... you Do you really not despise businessmen? ā€

Rong Yu knew it in his heart.

I see......

I think it was Shen Xun who listened to her words about defending the Shen family today, and he was grateful, so he came to repay her......

Despise the businessman......

Where is she qualified to despise others......

Rong Yu thought for a while and replied: "The businessman didn't do anything wrong, the world pretends to be high and despises the businessman, I think it's not the businessman's fault, but the world's fault!" ā€

Shen Xun looked at her, with joy and relief in his eyes, as well as some emotions that Rong Yu couldn't see clearly......

After a while, he lowered his eyes and said, "When I came back to Kyoto, you said that the merchants were lowly and covered in copper......

Rong Yu was surprised and apologetic.

When she was young, she believed in Rong Heng's words, which is why she would say such bastard words......

Now she has long forgotten that she had said such things, but those words will always hurt Shen Xun and the Shen family.

She said to Shen Xun sincerely: "I'm sorry......"

"I used to be ignorant, parroted, and said such bastard things, and now I know how wrong I was."

"There is nothing wrong with businessmen, the Shen family is a great family in the world, and it is my blessing to have such a foreigner!"

Shen Xun looked at her with complicated eyes for a long time before saying, "I don't blame you......"

Then he brought her a snack and said, "Eat it." ā€

Rong Yu took the snack.

If it hurts, she just apologized lightly, and he forgave him.

Although she didn't understand business, she knew what kind of deal Shen Wenshui was going to do with Rong Ying......

If Shen Xun didn't want to spend the rest of his life adrift at sea, she might be able to help him......

Rong Yu looked at the dim sum in his hand for a while and said, "This dim sum is so exquisite." ā€

Shen Xun said: "This is the dim sum of the Wa Kingdom!" ā€

"The Japanese people are exquisitely made, not only sweets, but also many delicate objects......

"Hmm...... I—I still have a puppet doll from the Wa Kingdom there......"

"If you like it, I'll give it to you!"

The Muppet Doll of the Wa Kingdom......

Nowadays, she doesn't have much interest in Muppet dolls.

What she cared about was Shen Xun's relaxed tone when he mentioned the Wa Kingdom......

She asked her concern: "You...... Do you like to do business in the Wa Kingdom? ā€

The look between Shen Xun's eyebrows became more and more flying: "It should be said that I like to go to sea!" ā€

"You haven't seen the sea, have you? The sea is not far in sight, and the end of the sea is connected to the sky, and sometimes there are no other ships in sight for many days on the sea, and the scenery is completely different from the scenery on land......"

"Now the ship of the Shen family can only go to the Wa Kingdom, but the ship of the Gan family in Quanzhou can go to the Nanyang countries......"

The young man's face was full of fascination: "I will build a three-story ship in the future, sail farther than the Gan family's ship, and see if the end of the sea is the legendary fairy mountain......"

He looked at Rong Yu with shining eyes: "Do you want to see the sea?" ā€

Ocean......

Rong Yu took a bite of the snack and replied casually: "I want to ...... it."

In her heart, she thought that since Shen Xun liked to be a maritime businessman, she didn't have to interfere in his life.

Shen Xun was still talking about the sea: "Not only the countries of the four seas, but also many good things in the sea......"

"It is said that the young lady of the Gan family in Quanzhou has embroidered shoes with a string of pearls......"

"Do you want it?"

Pearl embroidered shoes?!

Rong Yu almost choked on the dim sum, coughed a few words, and hurriedly replied after he was angry: "No, no, thank you!" ā€

Shen Xun asked her again, "Do you really want it?" ā€

Rong Yu waved his hand and replied seriously: "Don't, don't ......"

Of course she couldn't.

If a few pearls are poured, they can be strung into embroidered shoes.

How can a woman accept embroidered shoes from a man at will?

Shen Xun was probably young, and she didn't think of this, but she couldn't help but think about it.

If she accepts it cheekily, not to mention how her husband will feel in the future, Shen Xun's Mrs. Gan will inevitably feel that she should be ......

Maybe, it will cause Shen Xun to not be able to go to sea as he wishes......

Rong Yu refused for Shen Xun's sake, but Shen Xun didn't seem to understand her painstaking efforts, he stood up, turned around and said, "I'll go first." ā€

"You can lie down and rest, and if your father comes, someone outside will remind you."

Rong Yu sighed again: It's good to be rich......

She looked at Shen Xun and suddenly remembered something important......

Shen Xun will definitely visit Rong Hua......

When you ask for help, you must be thick-skinned......

She moistened her throat and called affectionately, "Little cousin......"

Shen Xun stopped his steps and stood in the patio.

Rong Yu stood up, ran to him and said, "Little cousin, when you go to visit your eldest sister, can you mention it to my father and ask him to allow me to go with you." ā€

A smile appeared in Shen Xun's eyes: "Okay! ā€

"As long as you remember what to call me, I'll ...... I promise you everything! ā€
