Chapter 7: Family Affairs

It was getting late, and Ming Yueqing had no way to drive away such a Shen Lingxi, so she could only let him stay temporarily.

On the other side, the Shen family's carriage procession on the way back saw that it was about to arrive at the Shen Mansion, and someone finally discovered Shen Lingxi's disappearance.

Chao Ge ran to Shen Xinping's sedan chair in a hurry, and he didn't dare to make a noise, but only dared to report in a low voice.

The young master's reputation is already not good, if something happens again, he will be unable to escape the blame, and he has already neglected his duty once.

If something happens because of this, the young master's lifelong event will really not be solved, and at that time, the lady will kill him!

"Butler, the young master is gone!"

There was only a faint "Well, I know" from the sedan chair, and there was no other response.

Chao Ge was stunned, moved closer slightly, and spoke again: "Butler, the young master is gone, and only a note is left in the sedan chair." ”

The curtain of the sedan chair window was finally lifted, revealing Shen Xinping's calm face: "Take it." ”

Chao Ge looked a little entangled, and after handing the things over, he finally couldn't help but speak.

"Butler, the young master is not in the sedan chair."

Shen Xinping glanced at him indifferently: "You have said it three times, I am not deaf." ”

The corners of Chao Ge's mouth twitched: "Butler, I didn't mean that, the young master is gone, what if it ......"

"Chaoge." Shen Xinping finally looked at him, "You are the young master's personal servant, right?" ”

"Huh?" Chao Ge was a little dumbfounded, "The little one and the young master grew up together since childhood, taking care of the young master's diet and daily life. ”

"That being the case, don't you know the young master's temperament?"

Shen Xinping thought of the girl who was polite and good-looking, although she was born in a peasant family, she was knowledgeable.

"Although the young master is different from before, no one can stop what he wants to do, and now, this may not be a good thing!"

Chao Ge scratched his head, a little unsure of what the butler meant.

Shen Xinping looked at him like this and sighed helplessly.

Could it be that in the past three years, Chaoge is the one who has been hit on the head? Why does this head look like an elm pimple?

Reaching out and brushing his beard, he smiled meaningfully.

The young master is the young master, even if he is not as amazing as before, but he only dialed a few words, and the young master understood, and the action was fast enough.

"Go home."

In Shen's mansion, Mr. Shen and his wife were listening to the shopkeeper below talk about the accounts in the shop recently.

"Master, now the business of the tea garden has been almost divided, and now in our own hands, the two tea gardens in the South Garden and the West Garden, are the best and best tea gardens among all the tea gardens."

Shen Xian, the master of the Shen family, couldn't help but reach out and rub the corners of his forehead when he heard this, and his voice was tired: "Where is the craftsman master?" ”

"The craftsmen who stayed behind are all self-made masters who used to follow the master, although they are older, but their skills are good, and the Shen family also has the grace of knowing them."

"That's fine, now we only have these two tea gardens left, and it is enough to have these masters left."

Shen Xian put down his hand, nodded and said, "As for the others, since they have learned the craft, they naturally hope to be able to show their talents, and leaving is also the best choice." ”

Looking at He Lan, the chief shopkeeper who also laid down the Shen family's family business with him, he instructed, "He Lan, you say hello to those shopkeepers who have taken over our industrial business, don't treat these people badly, they are all people with real skills." ”

He Lan nodded: "The old man is benevolent." ”

Shen Xian looked at this person who was like him, with his hair gradually graying, and his expression was moved.

"He Lan, if you hadn't been helping me all these years, I'm afraid that the Shen family's business would have fallen apart and ceased to exist."

"The old man is serious, the old man has both the grace of saving his life and the grace of knowing him, He Lan is just assisting one or two from the side, and he can't bear what the master says."

"Besides......" He Lan looked up at him, "This Yuhang and other people want to get involved in the tea business, and no one can touch it without the permission of the master." ”

"It's the old man's kindness, and in the past few years, he has handed over the business in his hand to several other merchants with some strength, so that they have their current status."

Shen Xian sighed and glanced at the kind lady beside him: "My wife and I are getting old, and Xi'er is like this, we can't help but plan for his future." ”

The melancholy between Mrs. Shen's eyebrows flashed, and she reached out and patted her husband's hand.

He Lan had been by Shen Xian's side since he was a teenager, and he also knew about Shen Lingxi's affairs, he sighed in his heart, and he was also very distressed about this child he watched grow up.

Shen Xian smiled: "Now we husband and wife don't have much time and energy to manage these tea gardens, I just hope that what I have done in the past few years will make Xi'er live a better life in the future, not to be rich and rich, but to be safe and happy." ”

"Don't worry, these merchants are not mercenary villains, if there is anything in the future, they will be grateful for the master's support, and they will not embarrass the young master."

He Lan comforted him on the side, "Besides, there is He Xiao here!" ”

Speaking of He Xiao, Shen Xian's frowning brows relaxed.

"He Xiao, this kid, does have a talent for business, whether it is managing these tea gardens or shops, or talking about business, he is very comfortable, it is really better than blue!"

Speaking of his son, He Lan was also deeply grateful: "Speaking of which, it was all taught by the master that he is today." ”

Shen Xian smiled and did not continue the topic, but asked about another matter.

"From last time, He Xiao's family affairs, how is it now?"

"A few days ago, I have already found someone to meet the eight characters, saying that it is the sixteenth of next month, which is an auspicious day for marriage."

Talking about his son's family affairs, the wrinkles on He Lan's face were stretched, and he smiled joyfully.

"This Miss Du and He Xiao are not young, so the two of us set the family affair on the sixteenth of next month, and we also have a matter on our minds."

Shen Xian smiled and nodded: "That's fine, these two children are in love, if it weren't for Xi'er, I wouldn't have let Miss Du wait for a few more years, and it's good to get married early." ”

"What the master said is right, this family affair cannot be delayed, and Xiao'er will take care of the family more when she gets married, so that she can spread the branches and leaves for the He family as soon as possible."

Mrs. Shen spoke softly, "Xiao'er is a good boy, he should have his own happiness." ”

He Lan looked at Mrs. Shen's emotional expression, and his heart moved.

"Master, madam, the young master is not young, and it is time to marry."

Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, with a look of pain between her eyebrows and eyes.

"Xi'er is not small, but what girl is willing to marry in like him?"

"Besides, the hearts of parents in the world, we feel sorry for Xi'er, and we don't want other people's girls to come to my Shen family to suffer, Xi'er is like this, he can't do anything that a husband should do."

Shen Xian was silent.

He Lan didn't think so.

"Master, I know that you and Mrs. are kind-hearted, and we don't want to wronged other girls, and I also think about the young master, and I don't want him to be wronged in the future, but master, we will leave before them after all, at that time, what should the young master do?"

Shen Xian and his wife looked at him.

"So master, you should marry a family for the young master, so that they can support each other in the future."

"But he ...... like this"

"Madame, I know what you're going to say." He Lan looked serious.

"But in this world, individuals have their own fate, although the young master is different from us, but his nature is pure, God will not treat him badly, he will have his own marriage."
