Shen Mengxi returned to the west wing where she lived, took off her coat and was about to go to bed, but at this moment she heard a knock on the door. She walked over and opened the door, and saw Shen Zaishi standing at the door looking at her. Under the moonlight, Shen Zaishi's long figure was plated with a silver halo, with a gentle smile on his face.

"The brook hasn't slept yet!"

"No! Grandfather, come in quickly! Shen Mengxi realized what Shen Zaishi came to her for at this time, so she took Shen Zaishi's hand and let him into her room.

Shen Zaishi waited for the lights in the east chamber to go out before coming, and after entering Shen Mengxi's house, he sat on a round stool placed next to the round table in the middle of the room.

"What did Grandfather get out of today?" Shen Mengxi saw that Shen Zaishi avoided Shen Zhilei and a few of them came to him, so he understood that Shen Zaishi must have already gotten the piece of jade pendant.

Shen Zaishi nodded with a smile, then stared at Shen Mengxi meaningfully, and looked at it for a while before he spoke: "What you saw in your dream is this piece of jade pendant?" ”

Shen Mengxi looked at Shen Zaishi's spread palm, where a round jade pendant with a hollow entwined peony was lying quietly. Shen Mengxi picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, the material of this jade pendant is average, it is not a precious jade material, but it is better than the fine carving, and the pattern is also very exquisite, the most special thing is that there is a seal "10,000" character engraved on the stamen of the peony flower, and you really can't see it if you don't look carefully.

Shen Mengxi looked at Shen Zaishi and said, "It's this piece of jade pendant, that's right!" Should there still be a letter? ”

Shen Zaishi smiled, took out an envelope from his arms, and handed it to Shen Mengxi. Shen Mengxi took it and opened it and roughly browsed it, the letter stated the origin and function of this piece of jade pendant, and also indicated how to use it, and finally the ancestor of the Shen family explained in the letter that future generations should not use this piece of jade pendant easily.

"Grandfather! This is the confidence of our Shen family! With this, why worry that the Shen family can't prosper? ”

"But I don't want to rely on this retreat left by my ancestors! If my grandfather wanted us to live a prosperous life easily, he wouldn't hide this jade pendant under the shrine and hide it from us! ”

"Grandfather! We don't want to use that money to make ourselves live a rich life, but to use it as the start-up capital for our Shen family. And we can't use all the money, which will attract the attention of people from the outside world and be detrimental to our development! ”

"You mean to take some of it?" Shen Zaishi frowned and asked.

Shen Mengxi nodded, "In this matter, my grandfather must come forward, and I must find a reasonable reason!" ”

Shen Zaishi nodded in agreement, "What do you think?" ”

"I wanted to help my third grandfather open a carpentry shop, specializing in making some delicate small pieces of furniture to sell, and the bookcase I designed could allow my third grandfather to successfully open the market. But now that we have the bonus money of Wanbang Bank, our plan will be changed. Grandfather must have gone to Yangzhou to find a reason, so it is better to simply take a batch of goods to Jiangnan, and when he comes back, the silver money will have a source. ”

Shen Zaishi chuckled and shook his head, "Is it a child, or is it too naïve!" What you said is light, let's not talk about why my good master doesn't abandon literature and engage in business, that is, the goods that are going to be brought to Jiangnan, what are you going to let me take? Did your third grandfather make a bookcase? Then why did I go to Jiangnan? ”

Shen Mengxi was already thinking about this problem when she was riding the ox cart today, and she brought it up now after some careful consideration.

"Grandfather, I saw an ancient recipe in my dream, this ancient recipe is used to prepare seasonings for cooking, I went to the pharmacy today to buy a lot of medicinal herbs and came back, just to try to mix the seasonings in that ancient recipe!"
