After the Qingming Festival, although the matter of the restaurant was not completely determined, Shi Jingshu still decided to go to Fujian with Shen Muqing.

Shen Zhen was not at ease and wanted to accompany them to Fujian. Shen Muqing considered that he was old, so he finally agreed to let Pang Debao accompany them to Fujian, and Shen Zhen dispelled the idea of going with him.

After the business of Yiwen Tea Shop was handed over to Pang Debao, he joined forces with Kyoto Xipu to launch a series of festive teas, and the turnover of Yiwen Tea Shop rose in a straight line - although the profit did not increase, Yiwen Tea Shop finally gained a foothold in the lower class of Kyoto, and everyone knew that Yiwen Tea Shop's tea was of high quality and low price, and finally opened up the situation.

Shen Muqing finally decided to take Pang Debao to Fujian, and there was another very important reason. Xie Ping has agreed to provide large tea leaves for Yiwen Tea Shop, and the two sides need to sign a contract.

Pang Debao personally selected the shrewd and clever little servants, and went to the outside dart bureau to invite a group of unattractive dart masters.

Shen Muqing saw that he acted in moderation and was an old man who often went out, so he put his mind at ease and chose the clothes he was going to bring to Fujian with peace of mind.

At this time, the Shen family's guests suddenly increased.

First Mr. Min, Yuan Yu, then Liu Yuhao, Hu Xin, and even Zhang Ranzhi came - the two were locked in the study and talked for an afternoon, and when they left, Zhang Ranzhi's expression was heavy.

These movements made Shen Muqing faintly uneasy.

She discussed Shi Jingshu: "Let's leave a few days later." ”

Shi Jingshu came from an old political family, so she naturally saw the unusualness.

She nodded: "Do you want to go to Mr. Min and ask?" ”

During the Qingming Festival, Jinxiu accompanied Mrs. Min to incense the Li family, and Shen Muqing told Shi Jingshu about the relationship between the two families.

Shen Muqing shook his head: "If the stakes are high, Mr. Min will not say it to me." ”

Shi Jingshu's face was full of helplessness: "This is not good for being a woman." Otherwise, how could it be so difficult for us to open a restaurant! ”

Shen Muqing bowed his head weakly.

It took them nearly a month to learn about the situation in the Kyoto restaurant, which made Shi Jingshu very frustrated.

The restaurant is not only highly competitive, but also has invested far more money than Shi Jingshu imagined. These are all things that can be overcome, and the most helpless thing for her is that she can't find a suitable shopkeeper - excellent, the owner will do everything possible to keep people, ordinary, not enough to take on the responsibility of opening up the territory.

Shi Jingshu hit Pang Debao's body with the idea: "... Let him help find a shopkeeper. ”

Shen Muqing responded with a smile. turned around and said to Pang Debao: "Don't help her introduce the shopkeeper." Not only can't you help her introduce the shopkeeper, but when she asks, you have to say that the shopkeepers she is looking for are not suitable. ”

Pound Debao thought about it for a while and understood the reason.

For the first time, he looked at Shen Muqing with admiration in his eyes: "I understand!" ”

Despite this, Shen Muqing couldn't help but explain: "Lord Shi is already yesterday's yellow flower, and the master is a guilty person - detaining the master in the capital and receiving the salary of a first-class master, but he does not arrange any position." It's too late for our Shen family to bow their heads and be people, how can we open a restaurant with great fanfare. I was clearly blocking her, afraid that she would think that our Shen family intended to shirk when she was in trouble, so it was better to let her retreat from the difficulty. ”

Pang Debao smiled slightly: "I will definitely make this thing impossible." ”

Shen Muqing smiled bitterly when she heard this: "It's just that her character is used to hard work, not to mention that she doesn't have much income now, and she is worried about sitting and eating nothing, so she is idle with nothing to do, but I'm afraid it's not used to it." Saying that, she discussed Pang Debao, "I went around various restaurants with her during this time, and found that there are time-honored restaurants such as Dashunzhuang and Liuquanzhai that have a good game business, and it has become one of the characteristics of the restaurant." I thought that instead of opening a big restaurant, it would be better to supply wild vegetables to these big restaurants - Sister Jingshu has been operating in Nanjing for so many years, which is more or less related. Doing business is first and foremost for profit, and it doesn't matter which line of work you do. ”

Pang Debao couldn't stop nodding: "Grandma is right. There is no high or low business, only profit. A lot of big business, looking glamorous, in fact, it is not as good as selling night incense to make money. ”

Shen Muqing listened to what he said interestingly, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

Later, things really developed according to Shen Muqing's wishes - otherwise, Shi Jingshu would not have offered to go to Fujian with her so easily.

Just as Shen Muqing was watching the changes that had taken place in his family, the emperor suddenly visited Shen Zhen in a small way.

At this moment, Shen Muqing couldn't sit still.

As soon as the emperor left, she immediately broke into Shen Zhen's study.

Shen Zhen looked at his daughter's face full of worry, and sent the maid serving in the house to tell her: "Yuanmeng Khan is funeral." The new khan failed to recruit a total of 300,000 troops from the 13 Yuan and Mongolian armies to come to Xuanzhou. ”

Shen Muqing was stunned: "Could it be that Liang Yuan has been defeated and abandoned the city again?" ”

"How so?" Shen Zhen said with a smile: "At this time, I would rather die in battle than take a step back." Otherwise, he would have betrayed this eternal crime. ”

"Then the emperor comes up..."

"The emperor wants to drive in person." Shen Zhen laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "The cabinet scholars are all against it, and the prince strongly agrees." The emperor couldn't make up his mind, so he came to ask me. ”

Shen Muqing was stunned: "Ask you?" ”

A hint of pride flashed in Shen Zhen's eyes: "To be an official is actually to be a man!" Zhang Ranzhi can't be a man, and being an official will naturally not work. He can't even command the six departments, let alone the three courts. The emperor had no choice but to come forward with me to persuade the ministers and agree to his personal expedition. ”

"Does the emperor want you to re-enter the cabinet?" Shen Muqing was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.

Shen Zhen smiled and nodded, with a little smug in his expression.

"Did you say yes?" Shen Muqing nervously pulled Shen Zhen's sleeve and asked eagerly.

"How could I say yes?" Shen Zhen smiled slyly: "Not only did I not agree, but I also recommended Wang Shengyun to be this peacemaker." ”

Shen Muqing opened his mouth and stammered.

Seeing this, Shen Zhen smiled and scratched his daughter's nose and said, "I listen to you all this." ”

Shen Muqing's face was full of confusion.

Shen Zhen sighed: "In the past few years, I have been at home, and I have thought about it a lot. As you said, I was lucky to be able to get out of it like this. Why should I wade into that muddy water again? As he spoke, he laughed, "I have fought with Wang Shengyun all my life, and he has never obeyed me. This time, I will be a virtuous person, so that others will know how I treat him Wang Shengyun and how he Wang Shengyun treats me. See what else he has to say when he sees me."

Who doesn't know that Shen Zhen and Wang Shengyun have been fighting all their lives?

And recommending Wang Shengyun can also leave a fair and selfless impression on the emperor!

In the final analysis, it is still obsessed with calculating Wang Shengyun.

Liang Bo 12:22:22

Shen Muqing smiled bitterly and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's good that the master can figure it out." Speaking of which, the case is hard, and you should rest. ”

Shen Zhen looked at his daughter with a smile and shook his head: "You kid, at a young age, but you can see through these battles for fame and fortune, I'm not as good as you!" ”

"Look at what the master said." Shen Muqing was disgusted, "I just didn't fall into it, the bystanders are clear." Speaking of which, I think the old man is much stronger than the king. ”

Shen Zhen let out an "oh" with great interest.

Shen Muqing smiled and said, "You were the first assistant before Lord Wang. Speaking of which, you win, right? ”

Shen Zhen thought about it and nodded.

Shen Muqing said again: "Among the thirteen sons of Lord Wang's family, the eldest is nearly fifty years old, and the youngest is in his early twenties, but until now, their family has not produced a two-rank jinshi. Our family is studious and intelligent, and if you can spend some energy on him, you must be better than the thirteen sons of Lord Wang combined. As the saying goes, look at the old age. As long as we have a good life, and the Shen family's reputation does not fall, what will Lord Wang compare with you? ”

Shen Muqing said left and right, but he just wanted to completely dispel Shen Zhen's thoughts.

Shen Zhen couldn't hear it, he laughed: "Are you afraid that I will come out again?" ”

Shen Muqing pulled Shen Zhen's sleeve and coquettishly: "Am I not right?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Shen Zhen smiled, "What you said is not only right, but also good. I, Shen Zhen and Wang Shengyun, have been fighting all my life, in terms of background, our two families are generations of eunuchs, in terms of individuals, I served as the first assistant before him, and now, it depends on how the younger generations are? His face finally became dignified, "Only future generations can comment on the merits and demerits." Mu Qing, you are right, as long as the great house has a chance, I Shen Zhen will be in the eyes of the world, and there will be no fault in this life. ”

Shen Muqing couldn't help nodding: "Yes, why should we be Feng women again." ”

Shen Zhen smiled and nodded.

Shen Muqing was completely relieved at this time, chatted with Shen Zhen for a few words, and got up to say goodbye.

Shen Zhen stopped her: "Mu Qing, you wait." I have something to tell you! There was a lot of hesitation in his expression.

Shen Muqing was taken aback.

Did something happen again?

Shen Zhen was silent for a long time, and took out a red lacquer gold worship box from behind the painting.

"Mu Qing, I received another letter from Zeng Ju two days ago", Shen Zhen said thoughtfully, "He is still a cliché, and he wants to protect you and Xiao Sa..."

Shen Muqing Zhengleng.

Counting the time, Xiao Sa should also receive his letter. Why does Zeng Ju still protect the media for them?

When Shen Zhen saw it, he said quite abruptly: "Mu Qing, I didn't refuse. This matter, you carefully consider ... Otherwise, don't go to Fujian for the time being, meet with Xiao Sa, and make some things clear to everyone. If it doesn't work out, you can say a word, don't procrastinate like this. Speaking of which, he's also in his early twenties this year. He is not in a hurry, and the elders in his family should be in a hurry. ”

Shen Muqing didn't make a sound.

Back to Tingyuxuan, she was in a trance.

Life seems to have come to a crossroads, and she has a hard time making a choice and is at a loss.

But after four or five days, I lost a whole circle.

When Shen Zhen saw it, he shook his head and wrote a letter to Zeng Ju, tactfully saying that Xiao Sa's background was too low, and if he could get meritorious, it would not be too late to discuss marriage.

Having said that, he couldn't help but sigh with Aunt Chen in private: "... She has been divorced, and if she says 'marry if you don't take a concubine', I'm afraid that this reputation will be over.
