Chapter 96: The Li family retreats
Situ Runya's face suddenly became serious.
"No matter what the county lord tells the people to do, the people are duty-bound."
"It's just a pretense to let you travel the world, of course, as long as you get things done, if you have this one wish, I will fulfill you, but before that, I want you to go to sea, to see a few places overseas, to find a land that is fertile and suitable for people to live in, and where the local production tools are not developed, you have to study the customs and customs over there, study the habits of the people who live there, as well as their military defenses, the number of people, Anyway, you have to write down everything you can research in the booklet, and then give it to me when you get back. ”
"To the sea?"
Situ Runya was very surprised, you must know that now going to sea is in other countries, exchanging gems, ivory and other items, and then coming back to do business, the production of things on both sides is not the same, so it is said that going to sea is a dangerous and fastest time to obtain wealth.
But the task given to her by the county bishop was to study the customs and customs over there, and even the deployment of troops, Situ Runya vaguely guessed something, she didn't dare to ask, but Shen Xianhe smiled and spoke.
"I know that you are very smart, thoughtful, and bold, I want to give you a chance to play, what is the emperor's attitude towards our Shen family? The people in the whole capital can basically guess that he is the emperor after all, and our Shen family is a courtier, so we must not do anything excessive, but the emperor will not stop his actions. ”
"If it really comes to the end of the road, I always want to keep the foundation of the Shen family, the entire Daqing Dynasty is the emperor, as for the surrounding small countries, the stronger ones have also fought with the Daqing Dynasty every year, and the weaker small countries, they don't dare to do anything risky, so I want to find a piece of land overseas, with the ability of our Shen family, we can completely thrive there."
"Do you understand what this lord means? I entrust this important task to you. I hope you don't live up to my expectations, and of course if you betray me, this county lord will naturally have a way to make you regret it. ”
Situ Runya was so frightened that she knelt directly on the ground.
"Don't worry, Runya knows what to do, in fact, I have been very interested in overseas customs since I was a child, since I was a child, from the time I began to be jealous of my eldest sister's food and clothing better than me, and then to the eldest brother let me be taught a lesson, I suddenly understood, why should I worry about such a trivial matter, this world is so wide, grab one more piece of clothing with others, and even grab a good husband, and finally compare my son's ability, and then compare my son's marriage, this life has no meaning at all, county lord, if it weren't for meeting you, I never thought my life would be like this. ”
It seems that Situ Runya's consciousness is okay, Shen Xianhe nodded with satisfaction.
"It's a very hard thing to go overseas, your body looks a little delicate, and my people will come to the capital after the year, those people have the experience of going to sea, when the time comes, I will let you know them, and then you will leave with them, before that, I will invite you to live with me, and let the guards teach you some exercises and tricks."
"Don't worry, the county lord, I'm not afraid of hardship, if I can become a chivalrous woman, it would be great."
"The Empress Dowager's meaning should have arrived at Situ Mansion, I believe you can solve it, the next thing, Mrs. Situ will definitely embarrass you, and your father will be angry with you, but they will never do too much, where is the will of the emperor and the queen mother, if you can't solve this matter well, the lord of this county will not expect you to go to sea and make any achievements."
"After you settle the Situ family, I am inviting you to the Guogong Mansion as a guest, and when the time comes, I will prepare some medical books, you have to study hard, and then follow my guards to learn martial arts."
Situ Runya knelt on the ground and agreed.
In the end, Shen Xianhe's carriage stopped in front of Situ's house, and Shen Xianhe personally sent Situ Runya back to Situ's mansion.
At this time, the Empress Dowager's decree had been issued, and the entire Situ family was now in a dark cloud, Situ Kang was in a rage, and Situ Runya came back, and Mrs. Situ's face was even more gloomy.
It's just that Mrs. Situ didn't expect that there was a county lord who came back with Situ Runya.
As soon as she thought of the fact that her son sent a killer to hunt down and kill the county lord yesterday, the anger on Mrs. Situ's face dissipated at once, and the whole person was even a little scared.
"The concubine has seen the county lord."
Mrs. Situ hurriedly saluted Shen Xianhe, but her eyes were gloomy and nailed to Situ Runya's face.
"Mrs. Situ, you should have seen the Empress Dowager's decree, although there are some problems with the upbringing of the Situ family, but Situ Runya is the person praised by the Empress Dowager, Mrs. Situ had better figure out what to do and what not to do, after a while, I will invite Runya to the Guogong Mansion as a guest, Runya will have a good rest at home in the past two days, and the Situ family should also teach their son a good lesson, if he does anything out of the ordinary in the future, it will not just be as simple as being reprimanded and upbringing today."
Mrs. Situ could only swallow her anger, even if she had good self-cultivation, but at this moment, Mrs. Situ could not suppress her ugly expression, she could only respond stiffly.
"The words of the county lord, the concubine body is in mind."
"That's good, when I come to pick up Situ Runya in a few days, this county lord doesn't want anything to happen to get sick or injured."
Mrs. Situ clenched her palm, and by the end, the nails had sunk into her palms, and her throat even had a fishy sweet taste.
"Don't worry, the county lord can rest assured, Runya is the young lady of our Situ family, of course our Situ Mansion will take good care of her, and she will definitely be safe and sound."
At this moment, Mrs. Situ barely managed to maintain the demeanor of his minister's wife.
Shen Xianhe was about to leave satisfied, when suddenly, a small guy ran over in a panic and knelt in front of Mrs. Situ.
"Madam, General Li and Mrs. Li are here, and they brought their marriage certificates and said that they would withdraw from this family business."
After what happened that day in Zhuangzi, Shen Xianhe guessed that the Li family would definitely retire from the family affairs.
After all, General Li and Mrs. Li love this daughter very much.
But Shen Xianhe didn't expect that she would run into this scene.
was originally about to leave, but Shen Xianhe didn't lift her steps, she was ready to see today's good show.
After all, Situ Yongnian sent someone to hunt down and kill her, she didn't find evidence, and now she can only ruin Situ Yongnian's reputation, but can't find someone to hunt down and kill Situ Yongnian, Shen Xianhe still has some regrets.
Of course, this kind of thing that ruined Situ Yongnian's path to the imperial examination would definitely make Situ Yongnian extremely painful, and Shen Xianhe felt that the slow torture was not bad.
Mrs. Situ's body trembled, and immediately, Shen Xianhe saw Situ Kang also coming over.
This Lord Situ is about fifty years old this year, and he looks quite young, he saw Shen Xianhe, and then made a simple salute.
"The minister has seen the county lord."
"Lord Situ is exempt."
After greeting each other, Mrs. Situ's body trembled, and Situ Kang sighed.
"Let Mrs. Li and General Li come in, it was originally our Situ family's fault first, this family matter, General Li wants to retreat, this is a matter of course."
After Situ Kang said this, he turned his head to look at Shen Xianhe.
"County Lord, the Situ family has family matters to deal with today, and it is inconvenient to entertain the county lord for the time being."
This is the meaning of euphemistically driving people away, it seems that I can't see the good show of quitting my family.
However, under the circumstance that the Empress Dowager issued a few edicts, the Li family's withdrawal from relatives simply escaped from a fire pit, and outsiders would not say anything.
Shen Xianhe smiled and nodded, and then said goodbye to the Situ family with his own people.
It's just that on the way out of Situ's house, Shen Xianhe and General Li, Mrs. Li, passed by, and the two did not bring Miss Li over, and General Li was the first time Shen Xianhe saw him.
Sure enough, they are very burly, but Mrs. Li is so petite, this couple is a little interesting.
Shen Xianhe smiled and nodded at General Li's Lady Li before leaving Situ Mansion to go home.
That night, everyone in the capital knew that General Li was a family affair of the Situ family.
Of course, Situ Yongnian's scandal was also exposed in the capital.
