Chapter Ninety-Nine: Fengyang County
Du Xuanmo hadn't seen Shen Pomegranate for several days, and even in Yamen, he sometimes recalled the days when he set up a bookstall and sold broth for Shen Pomegranate.
"I can't participate." Du Xuanmo muttered, fortunately, he sent the hairpin in advance, and there were fewer regrets in his heart.
Du Niangzi saw that Du Xuanmo was in a daze again, so she left first, these days Du Xuanmo can't wait to live in the yamen, and she can see her son when she delivers food. I thought that my son would be able to rise to prominence in the future, but I didn't expect that it would not be easy. Everyone in Fengyang County is far away from this mess, Du Xuanmo threw it all to Du Xuanmo as soon as he came, and good people have lost weight three times in the past few days.
Du Niangzi finally thought about it, and went to the post station halfway, and also wrote a letter and sent it.
Shen Pomegranate on the other end is also a lot easier because of the helper, looking at the account book at night, thinking that it is not a matter if he wants to open a branch, if he wants to make money, or do business quickly, of course, the premise is that he will operate without losing money.
Shen Shiliu worked hard to enter a famous school and a large company in his last life, and in the final analysis, he is still a part-time worker, so it is better to start from scratch early.
"The money in the account can now be steadily received a lot every day, and it should be fast to open a branch!" Shen Shu said that since he changed to a big store, there are more customers than before, and he never thought that the money he made a day now would almost catch up with the profit he made in selling broth for a month.
Shen Shiliu nodded: "Anyway, it's not very big, it's better to follow the old way, get a small one first, and then expand the scale when you earn enough!" β
Shen Shiliu finally calculated the amount of money that could be liquid in the account, and finally said: "It's time to take the time to go to Fengyang County to see the shop!" β
The next day, Shen Shiliu received a letter from Fengyang County, at first she thought it was sent by Du Xuanmo, and wondered why she had just sent a letter a few days ago, why it was sent so quickly, but when she opened it, she found that it was written by Du Niangzi.
Shen Shiliu was surprised, read the content of the letter, and then called Shen Shu over.
After Shen Shu read the letter, he asked Shen Shimei: "You have to tell your father and mother about this, right?" β
Shen Pomegranate was entangled, Du Niangzi wrote Du Xuanmo as a little pitiful child in the letter, how to work hard, how to miss Shen Pomegranate, how to lose weight, and the final meaning was to let Shen Pomegranate marry as soon as possible.
But Shen Shiliu pondered that he didn't want to marry so early......
"Don't tell my father and mother yet, I guess I'll really be married off!" Shen Shiliu said, Originally, the Zheng family also wanted to discuss marriage after the meeting, and the Du family was so active, what if they wanted to hit it off!
Shen Shu felt that it was inappropriate: "It's not appropriate not to tell my father and mother about this." β
"It's okay, listen to me!" Shen Shiliu said, anyway, her idea is not once or twice, this time she wants to solve it by herself first, and then say no.
Shen Shu's face was bitter, and he didn't know what Shen Pomegranate was going to do.
Shen Shimei explained to Hong Xiuhua that night, and she went to Fengyang County early the next morning.
Shen Shiliu had never been to Fengyang County, and he was thinking about going to Fengyang County while asking for directions, but he didn't expect to meet Han Shuliang and their convoy to deliver grain at the gate of the city by super coincidence.
"Brother Shuliang?" Shen Shiliu shouted, everyone is growing, and Han Shuliang has become like an adult.
Han Shuliang saw that it was Shen Pomegranate, so he asked, "Pomegranate?" Is this going out of town? Where are you going? β
Shen Shiliu glanced at the convoy and said that he was going to Fengyang County, and as soon as Han Shuliang heard it, he asked Shen Shiliu to get on the carriage that pulled grain, and left one piece.
"Did Pomegranate go to Anyang County to see Master Du?" Han Shuliang asked.
Shen Shiliu smiled: "What Lord Du, it sounds too awkward!" β
Han Shuliang sighed: "People are officials, and it's right to call adults." β
"I went to Fengyang County to see him just by the way, mainly to see if there was a food box to open a branch shop." Shen Shiliu said.
Han Shuliang said with a smile: "Pomegranates are really powerful, and they have already begun to open branches." He sometimes thinks that a capable woman like Shen Pomegranate may really not be worthy of marrying, and only someone like Du Xuanmo is worthy of Shen Pomegranate.
Shen Shiliu replied: "Brother Shuliang is also very powerful now, now he supplies grain to the government, and he will be able to do even bigger business with channels in the future!" "Everyone has their own way, Han Shuliang is dealing with the government now, and his future is limitless.
"That's also thanks to you, if it weren't for your help, the people in the village wouldn't have such a good life now!" Han Shuliang said.
Shen Shiliu didn't say anything, but felt that Han Shuliang's mind should be very difficult to do business in the future.
When he arrived in Fengyang County, Shen Shiliu went directly to the yamen to find Du Xuanmo.
"Who are you looking for?" The catcher at the entrance of the yamen quickly asked.
"I'm looking for Du Xuanmo." As soon as Shen Shiliu said his name, he was scolded by the two catchers.
"Lord Du's name can you call casually as a grass farmer? If you want to avenge your grievances, go and beat the drum! β
Shen Shimei: "......" pondered whether officialdom was so powerful? Don't even let the name go?
"I'm an acquaintance from his hometown, you help me go...... Tell me about it! Shen Shiliu said.
As soon as the catcher at the door heard that it was an acquaintance from his hometown, his face turned dark, and he said: "If you don't know anyone, you can leave quickly if it's okay!" β
Shen Shiliu wondered, is Du Xuanmo inflated? It's only been a few days since I became an official, and my hometown acquaintances don't care about it?
"Just say that the fiancΓ©e from Anyang County is here!" Shen Shiliu said, after seeing Du Xuanmo for a while, he had to say that he couldn't forget his roots!
When he heard that it was his fiancΓ©e, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Then you can wait a minute." "After that, I went in and reported.
Shen Shimei was not in a hurry, and stood at the yamen, and after a while, Du Xuanmo came out.
Du Xuanmo didn't expect Shen Pomegranate to come, and his face was also full of joy.
"Pomegranate, why are you here? Don't you have to worry about the shop at home? Du Xuanmo asked, I haven't seen him for a few days, but Shen Shimei is still so full of vitality.
Shen Shiliu was a little distressed when she saw Du Xuanmo, Du Xuanmo's body was weak, and she finally made up for the Wang Ba soup that she had drunk for a few months, and now she lost weight again!
"Someone in the store is taking care of you, I'll come to see you!" Shen Shiliu said, and then said to Du Xuanmo distressedly: "It's you, so thin that I almost can't recognize it!" "As soon as a person is thin, he becomes angular, and Du Xuanmo becomes more manly!
Du Xuanmo smiled and said, "Let's talk first, you wait for me for a while, and I'll go and explain the matter over there first." "Han Shuliang came to deliver food today, he has to give him advice.
"Yes!" Shen Shiliu followed Du Xuanmo into the yamen.
Du Xuanmo went to get busy first, and Shen Shiliu looked at Du Xuanmo's territory.
"This condition is not as good as the thatched house of the old house!" Shen Shiliu had read Du Niangzi's letter before that Du Xuanmo almost ate and lived in the yamen, the living conditions were a little worse, the house was the same as a dilapidated house, it was in disrepair and leaking everywhere, and it was strange that the wind was blowing cold and freezing here, and his health would be good!
Du Xuanmo was done there, so she came back to find Shen Shimei, Shen Shimei had already helped Du Xuanmo clean up the room, she didn't dare to move the things on the table, there were documents and letters on it, she was afraid that after touching Du Xuanmo, she would not find where it was.
"You haven't eaten yet, let's go home and eat today." Du Xuanmo was a little embarrassed, Shen Pomegranate finally came to visit, and let people come and work.
Shen Shiliu nodded, followed Du Xuanmo to the residence.
The place to live is found by people from the government, and it is not good, but the residence is enough.
Du Niangzi didn't expect that the post station would deliver the letter so soon, and Shen Pomegranate came, standing in place a little surprised.
"Pomegranate? Why did you come so fast? Du Niangzi regretted it after speaking, believing that she was sent by Du Xuanmo behind her back, so she was exposed.
Du Xuanmo was also stunned, his face was puzzled, but Shen Shiliu smiled and said, "Just come and see, aunt is cooking?" "I diverted the topic.
Du Niangzi smiled and said: "Yes, yes, you sit first, I cook quickly!" β
Shen Shiliu pondered that since he came, he didn't let Du Niangzi do it, and directly put down the things he brought.
"You brought this, huh? So heavy? Du Niangzi saw that Shen Pomegranate brought a lot of herbs and beef jerky, and it was estimated that it would cost forty or fifty catties to add a piece.
Shen Shiliu smiled: "It's okay, there is a convoy in the village to deliver grain, so it will bring me, it will not sink." Shen Shiliu said and began to cook.
The Du family also had green vegetables, and she also brought jerky, and the meal was quickly cooked.
"That is, pomegranates can eat a good meal, usually I don't cook well, or Xuanmo wouldn't have lost weight so quickly." Du Niangzi said that she was a little disgusted with what she had done, and it was really hard for Du Xuan Moqiang to eat it.
Du Xuanmo smiled, washed his hands and took the dishes and chopsticks to set them up, Shen Shimei sat down and everyone began to eat.
The rules at the Du family's dinner table are not particularly big, and it is still okay to speak, so Shen Shiliu asked, "Is your family short of food?" It's too difficult to buy grain in Fengyang County, right? β
Du Niangzi shook her head: "It's okay, our family's grain is distributed by the government, although it is not much, but it is enough to eat." The people in the surrounding villages are seriously short of food, but the impact in the county is not large. β
Shen Shiliu nodded, thinking about opening a restaurant in Anyang County in the future, it is estimated that he will have to open a branch to consider the matter of food.
Du Xuanmo gave Shen Pomegranate vegetables, and he never stopped seeing the smile on Shen Pomegranate's face, Du Niangzi smiled bitterly when she saw Du Xuanmo like this, his son really had a heart pierced into Shen Pomegranate, and he was really hopeless.
Shen Shiliu also gave Du Xuanmo a clip, and said while clipping: "No matter how busy you are on weekdays, you have to eat, you see that you are so thin, if you are tired one day, what should you do with so many people waiting for you to eat?" You have to be responsible for others and for yourself! "She can't tell Du Xuanmo that if he is lazy, he will be lazy, regardless of the words of the common people, then what kind of person has she become?
Du Xuanmo smiled and nodded: "Sometimes I forget when I'm busy." β
"I'm thinking about coming to Fengyang County to open a branch, and I will take care of your and aunt's meals in the future, and it will really hurt me if I lose weight like this!" Shen Shiliu said.
