"Case Chief Shen, do you have a solution?"

Looking at Shen Yichen's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Xu Fengyuan's heart ignited hope, this young talent who was famous in Ying Tianfu might be able to think of places beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Nope."

Shen Yichen shook his head, but in the end he still didn't say his method.

Because of his so-called method, to put it bluntly, it is to smuggle with Ye Zongliu and others and sell the goods to the Wa Kingdom.

Porcelain, silk and other items, not to mention placed in the Wa Kingdom, even in any place in this era, can be called hard currency, and the profit can reach at least five to ten times that of the local market.

But the problem is that the sea ban of the Ming Dynasty was not officially lifted until Emperor Longqing, and it is still more than 100 years old.

If it's just a violation of the sea ban, it's just a matter of giving a plan for this kind of thing, and whether to do it or not depends on Xu Fengyuan's own choice.

If you don't spread it to the other party, you can't be convicted for your words, and if you do it, you're a smuggler, and you won't talk nonsense.

The key is that Ye Zongliu and others are currently wanted by the government, although they have not yet reached the point of raising the flag to rebel, but they are not much better, and dealing with them is a huge risk.

Without absolute trust, once the news leaks, the consequences will be a catastrophe, and even you will be implicated.

Therefore, even if Shen Yichen knew very well that smuggling goods to the Japanese country could make a lot of money, he did not dare to tell the way of smuggling without thoroughly understanding the details of the other party.

"Alas, I was in a hurry to go to the doctor, how could Shen know about Shang Jia."

Xu Fengyuan shook his head, how could Shen Yichen also be the son of Chengguo Gong, the son of an authentic Xun Qi, how could Shang Jia's self-surrendering identity be involved.

"I'm sorry Brother Xu, I can't help you."

"I'm sorry, this matter has nothing to do with Shen."

"By the way, Shen, see you go out early today, is there anything important? I am relatively familiar with Jingshi, so I may be able to help. ”

When he got up this morning, Xu Feng originally planned to continue chatting with Shen Yichen, but he didn't expect him to leave early.

Last night's hangover and early out, there must be something important, although the family is also facing business problems, but maybe it can help.

"I was about to talk to Brother Xu about this, and I was going back to the guild hall to pick up my luggage, and I was going to leave today."

"Didn't Shen prepare for the township test, why did he leave in such a hurry?"

"The contemptible man has found another address."

"Where is the new address of the head of Shen's case in Jingshi, so that when I have free time, I can visit the door and continue to have a good time."

Originally, Shen Yichen didn't plan to tell him where he was going to move, but he didn't expect this Xu Fengyuan to come to him for a drink.

So he could only reply: "Chengguo Mansion." ”

Hearing that it was the Mansion, the expression on Xu Fengyuan's face changed from excitement to sorrow, if it was okay to say otherwise, the Chengguo Mansion would really not be able to enter.

"Alas, it may be difficult to see the head of Shen's case in the future."

"It's okay, we'll see you when we meet."

After Shen Yichen finished speaking, he arched his hand as a farewell, and then turned around and went to the room on the second floor to pick up his luggage.

He and Ah Niu didn't carry much of their things, so they quickly packed up and went downstairs to settle the room with the shopkeeper Wang.

It's just that when leaving the hall, you can still see Xu Fengyuan standing at the door when you walk far away, and your reluctant gaze makes people see it, I'm afraid that they will mistakenly think that there is some habit of breaking sleeves......

Coming to the Chengguo Mansion again, the porter's attitude was much more respectful after having the token, which represented not only the entry and exit credentials, but also the importance of the Chengguo Gong.

Except for the direct family of Chengguo and extremely close people, it is impossible for others to get the token to enter and leave the mansion at will.

In the courtyard of the West Wing, Steward Wu had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Shen Yichen coming, he immediately beckoned his subordinates to take the luggage in his hand and led them into the small courtyard.

"Shen Gongzi, this is the courtyard where the third lady lived when she was not out of the pavilion, but it has been vacant for several years. The furniture and supplies in the courtyard have been changed, and some books and stationery have been added. ”

"Shen Gongzi, you see if there is anything missing, and the old servant asks someone to make up for it."

Listening to Steward Wu's words, Shen Yichen glanced at the house, and the household items had basically been replaced.

In addition to the regular Four Books and Five Classics and annotations, there are also the latest collections of current essays, anthologies of eight-strand model texts, and so on.

The pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. on the desk are also well prepared, judging from the snow-white degree of the paper, it is far stronger than the rice paper that Shen Yichen used to use in the past, and it can be said that Steward Wu is attentive in this regard.

"It's good in all aspects, thank you Steward Wu."

"Shen Gongzi doesn't need to be polite, this is what an old servant should do."

After finishing speaking, Steward Wu called out the two maidservants from behind him and said, "Shen Gongzi only has a good man to follow, and many things may be inconvenient, so these two maidservants will stay for the call." ”

"You two, don't salute Shen Gongzi yet."

The two maids who were called out stood in front of Shen Yichen together, and saluted sideways: "Maid Xiaolan, maid Xiaozhu, I have seen Shen Gongzi." ”

It's okay to say in other aspects, that is, leaving two maidservants, Shen Yichen is really a little unaccustomed.

Another point is that this kind of servant girl who "gets along day and night" is a person who becomes a prince, which is equivalent to having no privacy at all, and he is not very relieved.

And then again, even if he thinks too much, Cheng Guogong is too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Xiami, and Shen Yichen can't guarantee that others don't have this mind.

What his mother experienced back then, Shen Yichen still remembers it vividly, and I believe that the Duchess Lin must also be clear. Even the wife of the head of the family can encounter "accidents", and he is even more insecure as an outsider.

"Steward Wu, I am used to being alone, and it is enough to greet Ah Niu if there is anything, so these two maids don't need to."

"Shen Gongzi, are you dissatisfied?"

"No, it's just a matter of personal preference."

Steward Wu is also very clear about Shen Yichen's living environment in Yingtian, he has not experienced the brocade clothes and jade food of the children of the real Xun Qi, let alone the care of a group of slaves.

So this kind of unaccustomed is still understandable.

"Since Shen Gongzi said so, then don't arrange a maid for the time being, if you feel inconvenient to talk to me one day."

"Okay."

"If there is nothing important, the old servant will not bother Shen Gongzi and retire first."

"Steward Wu walks slowly."

Shen Yichen arched his hand and sent Steward Wu out of the courtyard.

Watching everyone leave in the mansion, Ah Niu closed the door, exhaled heavily and said, "Brother Chen, I don't know why I always feel a pressure in the mansion, I didn't dare to go out just now, for fear of making a mistake." ”

"Don't say it's you, even I have."

Shen Yichen replied with a smile, don't look at his proper behavior, but it is precisely too appropriate, which in itself represents a kind of restraint.

But this is also normal, the dignified Duke's Mansion, a servant son who can be called an outsider, so has the qualifications to be casual and presumptuous?

is not included in the genealogy, not counted as a clan, Shen Yichen remembers it clearly, as an outsider, you have to have the consciousness of being a guest.

However, in order to relieve Ah Niu's nervousness, Shen Yichen still added: "It's not a big deal, I slowly get used to it, and there are no outsiders in this West Wing Courtyard, you can do whatever you want by your temperament." ”

"If we can raise people in high school in the future, we will move out."

There is a saying in ancient times that "poor talents, gold lifters, silver jinshi." ”

This is not to say that the status of the lifter is higher than that of the Jinshi, but after the lift, there will be a qualitative change in the comparison of all aspects of income with the fame of the talent. Even if it is a later jinshi, the improvement is not as good as Xiucai's step of lifting people.

This is just like the qualitative change of Zhongxiu is class, anyway, they don't kneel when they see officials, can Zhongju people still step on the bench, and they can't be a head taller than officials?

"Brother Chen, listen to you."

Ah Niu just has a sense of tension to see the world, and there is nothing else, with Shen Yichen's two words of relief, he is much more relieved.

After placing the luggage, Shen Yichen and Ah Niu stayed in the Chengguo Mansion. A few days later, to tell the truth, except for the signboard of the public mansion, other places are not much different from the inn.

Except for the food brought by the servants every day, no one disturbed it, which can be described as quite quiet.

Just when Shen Yichen gradually adapted to the life of the Beijing teacher and was thinking about whether to visit the chief examiner of the township examination and the connections given by the teacher Lin Zhen, an "uninvited guest" came to the small courtyard.

This is no one else, it is Cheng Guogong's eldest son, Shen Yichen's eldest brother Zhu Yi.

The last time they met, it was at the family banquet of the Chengguo Mansion, and the two only had a simple conversation. Compared with Zhu Ji, Zhu Yi, as the eldest son, still has a bit of a big brother style, at least he knows how to maintain peace on the surface on important occasions.

However, the relationship between the two sides is nothing more, even when Shen Yichen was still living in the Chengguo Mansion as a child, he didn't have much communication with this eldest brother, and now he doesn't have it.

"I've been in the public mansion for the past few days, and I heard that you entered Beijing to take the exam and stayed in the public mansion, so I came to see you."

"Grand Master Xie cares."

Shen Yichen behaved very politely, even if he had no feelings, and even had an awkward relationship in a sense.

As long as the other party doesn't take the initiative to provoke, Shen Yichen has always been full of etiquette on the surface.

"You're welcome, after all, you and I have the same blood."

This sentence came out, but Shen Yichen was a little confused, when did Zhu Yi and himself have such a close relationship, they all talked about the same bloodline.

Is it the next step, to show brothers, friends and brothers?

Seeing that Shen Yichen didn't answer, Zhu Yi didn't care, and instead said, "I learned from my father that you want to introduce Hanlin to talk about Lord Zhou." ”

"It just so happens that I am familiar with Lord Zhou, if it is convenient, I can take you to visit tomorrow."

Zhu Yi's words made Shen Yichen a little moved, after all, the effect of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, saying hello was definitely not as good as someone bringing him into the house to introduce him.

It's just that he doesn't understand why Zhu Yi did this. Even if he is a servant son, he can't threaten his status as a knight, and in a sense, he can't help him.

I have dealt with Cheng Guogong a lot, and I have also seen Zhu Ji's hostile attitude, coupled with the threat of his grandfather and wife Lin.

The current Shen Yichen is wary of anyone in Chengguogong, even the so-called eldest brother Zhu Yi is no exception.
