Chapter 60: Leaving Beijing and Returning to Beijing
This time the meeting in Longjingzhai was just in a hurry, and Shen Ning quickly said goodbye to Ying Nantu and Xu Youzhen. Shen Ning didn't say much, just asked Xu Youzhen to prepare, and Shen Huashan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry the day after tomorrow, would definitely take him to Hanoi Dao, and then he could give full play to his skills and benefit the people.
"I thank my grandfather and the people for this, sir. Please do your best, sir! The Shen family and the people of Dayong will definitely remember Mr.'s merits! Before leaving, Shen Ning said to Xu Youzhen that she was full of confidence and hope for him. After speaking, he bent over Nantu again, and his tone was grateful: "Thank you, brother!" She also said this sentence when she was in Tianning Temple, and if she said it again at this moment, she was in a different mood. She didn't know why he would help her like this, just for her request? Or was it the strange look he had asked? Shen Ning didn't know, but she knew that the young man in front of her had worked hard for her to solve her current problem, and she was grateful to him, and she also thought about what to repay him.
It's a pity that she doesn't know anything about Nantu! The only thing I remember is that he will die this fall, and I don't remember it at all. She regretted that she hadn't paid attention to this matter in her previous life, otherwise she could have woken him up.
Let's talk about it later. Shen Ning had a vague premonition that after this incident, she and Ying Nantu should have a lot of contact.
Xu Youzhen's appearance is excellent news for Shen Ning and the Shen family! Shen Ning didn't go around the way, he went directly to his father Shen Zejing, and said that he went to Longjing Zhai today, and heard that there was a person named Xu Youzhen on Tianxiu Street, who was very capable of controlling water, and he didn't know if it was true or not, if it was true, it would be best for his grandfather to take him to Hanoi Road to control the water!
The location of Tianxiu Street is a little off, there is a lot of distance from Jingzhao Mansion, it is a street formed around Xiushan, where there are many hidden people, some of whom are also talented. Shen Zejing was worried about Shen Huashan's going to Hanoi to control the water, and after listening to Shen Ning's words, he held an attitude that he would rather be credible than credible, and asked the people in Ruliu to go to investigate and verify. When Lianshan reported the news that there was indeed someone and that he could indeed control the water, he was really pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly told Shen Huashan the news.
The talent for water control is exactly what Shen Huashan needs most, and when he went to the stage, he didn't know what the specific situation would be, and one more person was more help. Now there is a good person who controls the water, which is great news! So, Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing went to Tianxiu Street to visit Xu Youzhen, Xu Youzhen did not exaggerate, only briefly talked about his past experience and views on river governance, which made Shen Huashan also greatly appreciated, thinking that he was pragmatic and not arrogant, and he must be a talented person! In this way, two days later, Xu Youzhen followed Shen Huashan to Hanoi.
The Shen family sent Shen Huashan away, and it seemed that they also sent away their worries about the flooding in Hanoi Province. At this time, everything that could be done was done, the rain stopped, and Shen Huashan also took Xu Youzhen to Hanoi, and everything that could be done was over. Therefore, the Shen family's daily life has also begun to return to normal. Shen Zejing continued to be busy with the examination of classes, most of the year has passed, and at the end of last year, Shen Huashan said that he would invite a master to teach his granddaughter, but it was also delayed. Shen Zejing discussed with Shen Yu's family, there are too many things this year, and the girls are not big anyway, so they will simply postpone it until next year.
The Shen family's life has to go up as usual, and even begins to be lively.
At the end of July, Shen Yuhong and the others also returned to Jingzhao from Hangzhou. came to Jingzhao together, as well as Shen Hu's father, Hu Butu, the head of Jiangnan Hu's Anhetang, who came to Jingzhao to welcome Emperor Changtai's imperial book. On the first day of the first month of August, the young government supervisor will send the imperial book plaque of "righteous businessmen have a way" to the three merchants, which is a major event for the Hu family, and he, the head of the family, will naturally come to greet him in person.
Since leaving for Jiangnan in March to worship their ancestors, Shen Yuhong and others have been away from home for more than four months. Now that they are back at the Shen family, Shen Yuhong and Shen Yushou are very excited. Although the boy is ambitious in all directions, but home is always the most concerned place in his heart, and his mother is also the most concerned person in his heart, Shen Yuhong and Shen Yushou also went to Hemingxuan to ask Shen Yu's family for the first time, on the other hand, although Shen Yule was a little chattering, he didn't even bother to freshen up and went to Songfeng Xuan to ask Shen Hu's peace.
Shen Yu's eyes were a little red as he looked at the two sons who had returned from a long journey. In fact, it has only been more than four months, and these two people have not changed much, but Shen Yu feels as if they have grown up all of a sudden. Shen Yushi asked the two with concern how they were doing in Jiangnan, how their grandfather's house was doing, etc., and asked the nurse to bring Shen Yuchen to see the two brothers. When Shen Yuhong and the others set off, Shen Yuchen was only a few days old, and their impression of him was still in the stage of wrinkled flesh, but they didn't expect to laugh now, and their heads were raised very straight, and it was very painful not to cry.
Shen Yuhong and Shen Yushou both hugged Shen Yuchen, their gestures were very rusty, and they gave him back to the nurse at once. The two told Shen Yu about the situation in Jiangnan and the harvest of this trip to Jiangnan. Needless to say, Shen Yuhong has a wide heart, has a new understanding of human affairs, world affairs, and book truths, and considers things a lot more thoughtfully, and his original smart and exposed appearance has converged a lot, and even Shen Yushou has become a lot calmer, so it makes sense that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
Shen Yuhong and others distributed the gifts brought back from Jiangnan to everyone one by one, and Shen Ning also received silk and fans from Jiangnan. I couldn't help but want to laugh, it's almost August now, and this fan won't be able to be used until next year, Shen Wan is more direct, muttering that this is not practical, the weather is cold, and Shen Mi is mouth is pursed and laughing.
A few days later, Hu Butu came to visit, although Shen Huashan was not in Jingzhao, he also had to come to Shen's house to meet his daughter and granddaughter.
Hu Butu doesn't look like a businessman, he looks honest and honest, if it weren't for the shrewd look that occasionally flashed in his eyes, he wouldn't have known that this person was the head of Hu's Anhetang. Shen Zeyuan and Shen Hu were very excited, especially Shen Hu, who hadn't seen her father for several years. Yes, as soon as she saw Hu Butu, she burst into tears, and ordered Shen Yule, Shen Yuping and Shen Yao's children to ask Hu Butu to say goodbye and talk about the family together.
Shen Zejing and Shen Yu also came to see this uncle, the relationship between the Shen family and the Hu family has always been very good, the Xishan Yu family and the Hu family also have deep friendships, and Shen Zejing also knows what Hu An Hetang has done behind the scenes for the Shen family all these years.
This night, Shen Zejing also set up a banquet, and all his sons, nieces and grandchildren also came to greet Hu Butu. After the banquet, Shen Zejing respectfully invited Hu Butu to the study to discuss matters, along with Shen Zeyuan and Shen Yuhong.
