Chapter 100: The New Master of Incense
It is not popular to wear curtain fences in the county, and only the nobles of the imperial city will be so exquisite.
She stretched out her hand and put it on the maid's arm, and the green sleeves inlaid with gold silk slid down, revealing a snow-white wrist, and on this jade-like wrist, she was wearing a verdant bracelet, and the price was not cheap at first glance.
Behind the woman, Wang Biao and his wife wore a mink coat, and the couple got into the third carriage, their carriage was not as luxurious as the previous two, and it looked a little cold in comparison.
Three carriages drove in the direction of Yuhutong.
"You've finally appeared, where did you go after disappearing for a month?"
Shen Junchen didn't look back, only said lightly, "Are you talking about business with the person who just went out?"
Fan Chen was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the person he was referring to was that there were few customers in the store at this time, and there were only those few people who had just gone out.
"You mean the six people who just went out? Those few are here to order weapons, and they say it's a new game of darts."
Shen Junchen said, "What did they order?"
Fan Chen said: "Big knife five hundred, as soon as you come, you will ask about other people's affairs, and you will not ask me how I have been doing recently."
Shen Junchen poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "When have you been unhappy? At this hour, we are still talking about business, so naturally we are making a lot of money."
Fan Chen smiled and said: "Not to mention, business has been getting better and better recently, many of the business peers in Qingyun City have come to buy our goods, what are we called wholesalers, her method of making money is really good, although she is a little tired, but this silver is flowing in."
After a pause, he said: "I haven't seen shallow for a long time, and I don't know if she is used to it in the cottage, I heard Chengshuang say that the mountain is very hard, I didn't expect her small body to be able to endure that hardship, you said that the business here is so good, why is she suffering?"
Shen Junchen looked at him coldly, "You have a good relationship?"
Shallow, shallow, shallow, non-stop, are you familiar with each other?
Although he felt a sense of hostility, Fan Chen was still not afraid of death: "Hey, it's just that I've been too busy lately, otherwise I'll go to the cottage to work for her, don't let her work so hard."
Shen Junchen said, "Ling Feng is not in Qingyun City, who is in charge of the Future Camp?"
Fan Chen said: "Frost."
Shen Junchen said, "You go and ask tomorrow if you can send forty people to build the river embankment."
Fan Chen said: "This should be no problem, I heard that there are many beggars in Qingyun City in the afternoon, and when I left shallowly, a shelter was opened at the south city gate, which specializes in accepting wandering beggars and refugees, and the beggars who have come recently have received the future camp."
Recently, there have been a lot of beggars in Qingyun City, and there are one or two hundred people in a month, and I don't know where there are so many beggars in this Qianqiu country.
Fan Chen said, "Why do you say that so many beggars have come to Qingyun City recently? If it weren't for the future revenue, I'm afraid that there would be more beggars on this street than the ordinary people of Qingyun City."
Shen Junchen hooked the corners of his lips: "This is someone helping her find workers."
In fact, someone borrowed her hand to recruit troops, and now they are ordering weapons, obviously they are also paying attention to the movement of the personnel of the future battalion.
Fan Chen said: "But these beggars are not easy to manage, some people may indeed be forced by life to live, and some people are lazy and unwilling to do things."
Shen Junchen asked, "What do you do with such lazy people?"
Fan Chen smiled proudly: "This thing is not easy to do? Don't I have an old man who is an official? He had a notice posted in Qingyun City, prohibiting giving alms to beggars, and violators were fined ten taels of silver."
This trick is really ruthless, who dares to give things to beggars all the time, and beggars can't get food, so they can only go to the shelter.
Shen Junchen gave him a look and motioned for him to continue.
Fan Chen said: "We drove these lazy people out of the shelter, didn't give them food, and then sent people to keep an eye on them, as long as they went to steal, they were arrested and exiled, and they only needed to pack up one or two, and no one dared to steal and rob them anymore.
Shen Junchen said lightly, "Look
It's a little bit of a use for your brain."
Fan Chen smiled, "I don't dare to take credit, this is a shallow idea."
This method, ordinary people really can't think of it, the main thing is that everyone looks down on beggars, rich people have to choose a clean one to find a servant, and if they look at the beggars hiding far away, even if they lack people, they won't think about beggars.
Shen Junchen said, "You go tomorrow and ask how many people you can draw to help build the river embankment, and try to repair half of it before it freezes."
The two sat for a while, and Shen Junchen left the Chenxi Teahouse.
He went straight to Jinfudo.
Now that the young master is here, this is an opportunity to investigate.
The door of Kinfudo was closed, and he stood in front of it and stretched out his hand to knock on the door.
It was Huan'er who came out to open the door, and when he saw that it was Shen Junchen, he was stunned for a moment, and then bowed and saluted: "Second master, please."
Shen Junchen followed Huan'er to the backyard, the backyard has been renovated, probably because the Li family used to be a member of the General's Mansion, and the renovated yard looks atmospheric and chic.
Lanterns were hung in the corridor to illuminate the courtyard.
Huan'er took Shen Junchen to the east house, he knew that the east house was decorated by Wang Biao and his wife.
Tang Lin used to live in the West House, Li felt that the house where Tang Lin lived was unlucky, she didn't want to live in the West House, before the renovation Li said her thoughts, but she only told Wang Biao, Shen Junchen also overheard it on the roof beam.
Huan'er didn't bring Shen Junchen directly into the house, but asked him to wait outside the door, and she went into the house to report.
"Second master, wait a minute, let the slave go to report first."
Huan'er didn't say who to report to, so Shen Junchen waited outside the door.
is worthy of being a maid who has been with the Li family all the year round, acting cautiously and not rudely.
Within two minutes, Huan'er came out, she stood at the door, and made a gesture of please: "Second master, please."
Huan'er took Shen Junchen into the house and retreated.
Shen Junchen stepped inside, and in the middle of the room was a couch, on which sat a young man wearing a golden mask.
This person was the man Shen Junchen saw in the Chenxi Teahouse, and at the bottom of the couch, the left protector sat on the left, and on the left side of the left protector were Li and Wang Biao.
On the right side of the couch sat another middle-aged man, and to the left of the middle-aged man was a green man dressed in gold trim.
By this time, the woman had removed the curtain.
The age of the woman is about twenty years old, although it is not stunning, but few people can match the charm of the color
The middle-aged man was in his 40s.
Shen Junchen bowed to a few people: "Left Protector! Eldest brother! Sister-in-law!"
The left protector snorted, "Hmm!"
Wang Biao was still as rude as ever, he haha: "Brother Xian is back, this trip has taken a long time, eldest brother misses you, everything at home has been handled properly?"
"Brother Xie cares, and the affairs of the family have been dealt with, but my mother is a little reluctant, so I have delayed it for a while." Shen Junchen responded.
Wang Biao said: "Well, after the matter is handled, I can safely assist Qianqian to repair the river embankment as soon as possible, which can be regarded as a contribution to Jinfeng Hall."
Li said: "Come, let me introduce you to a few people, this is the sworn brother of the owner of the village, the second master of the cottage, Shen Junchen."
The man sitting on the couch was stunned for a moment when he heard Shen Junchen's three words, only to see him squinting his eyes and looking at Shen Junchen with deep eyes.
Then he raised his hand and pointed at the golden-masked man, "This is the young master of Jinfeng Hall, and he is also my sworn brother."
Then he pointed to the middle-aged man to the right of the young master and said, "This is the Liu Ruhai Liu Hall Master of Jinfeng Hall, and this is the daughter of Liu Hall Master next to him, and she is also Miss Liu Shiyun, the young hall master of Jinfeng Hall."
Then he said, "Brother Zuo Dharma Protector already knows each other, so I won't introduce him again."
Shen Junchen bowed his hand: "I've seen the young master!"
The young master hummed, and then hooked the corners of his lips: "Hmm! Welcome Shen
The second master joined Jinfeng Hall, the name of the second master reminds me of General Zhenguo, this person has the same name and surname as the second master, I wonder if the second master knows this person?"
Shen Junchen said in fear: "A subordinate grass people, where can I recognize the general in the town, it is the same name as him, I heard that this person is a cold-faced Hades, and his subordinates are also afraid, lest they meet him and kill him one day."
Looking at his cowardice, the smile in the young master's eyes slowly spread.
Shaodao said slowly: "I heard that the second master is very skilled, maybe the martial arts cultivation is still above the general of Zhenguo, but I heard that the emperor gave a marriage to the general of Zhenguo and the daughter of the prime minister, Shangguan Wan'er, and now the Shangguan family and the Shen family are preparing for the marriage of the two. I wonder if the second master has heard about this?"
Shen Junchen said: "My subordinates have never heard about this, and my subordinates have not heard about it when they go home to visit their grandmother and are busy with the funeral at home."
In addition to taking off the mask at home, Shen Junchen wears a mask outside, and there are very few people who have really seen him himself.
In the imperial city, in addition to his family, there are only a few princes who are good friends with him.
Wang Biao saw that the young master kept talking about General Zhenguo and Shen Junchen, and he also heard that the young master seemed to have doubts about Shen Junchen's identity.
"The young master is too worried, my brother was originally a catcher in the Qingyun City County Yamen, and he worked in the yamen for a few years and did not get ahead, so he abandoned the darkness and went to the cottage, and now he is assisting the saint to build the river embankment of Qingyun."
The young master said, "Where does the owner of the village say, he is both the brother of the owner of the village and my brother, how can I doubt my brother, right?"
There was a burst of laughter in the room.
The young master first stopped smiling and said to everyone: "I just said that no one has taken care of the business of Qingyun City, so now let the young hall master concurrently serve as the incense lord of Qingyun City, and wait for the incense master to find a suitable candidate, and then hand it over to the new incense master to take care of it, does Sister Yi have any opinions?"
Li Shi bowed: "But it is up to the young master to arrange."
only asked Li if he had any opinions, but did not ask Wang Biao, from the seat of the Li family's status is lower than that of the left protector, but higher than Wang Biao.
And the Liu Hall Master and the Young Hall Master of Jinfeng Hall sit on the right side of the Young Master, and their status is higher than that of the Left Protector, which shows that the status of Wang Biao and his wife in Jinfeng Hall is at least ranked fifth or sixth, which shows that the Young Hall Master does not regard this Sister Yi as a sister.
The hall master smiled and said, "The little girl has just come to Qingyun City, and she also asks the holy girl and the village master to shine a lot."
Li said: "The master of the Liu Hall is serious, and the young hall master is very qualified, so this business is not a problem."
Liu Shiyun picked up the tea coldly and did not answer, obviously not taking the Li couple in her eyes.
After putting down the teacup, he said lazily, "Dad, how big is the business in this small county town, and you still need to arrange me to take care of it in this poor and remote place? Just arrange for one person."
The young master said: "Alas, cousin, don't underestimate the business here, although this Qingyun county is not as good as the imperial city, but it is also a big county in Qianqiu, and the business here is not a small business."
Although the business of Qingyun County is not as good as that of the Imperial City, in addition to the business on the surface, there are also other things taken care of here, so this cannot be said in front of Wang Biao and his wife.
Zuo Protector is not a vegetarian person, he looks like an old fox, can he not see Wang Biao and his wife secretly crossing Chen Cang on the plank road?
It's just that there is no handle, and it is not the time to tear their faces, at least Wang Biao and his wife can pay four or five percent, and the income is a lot, anyway, they are providing news, and it is Wang Biao's people who contribute.
As soon as the young master spoke, Liu Shiyun immediately changed her coquettish attitude, and even her voice became soft.
"Since my cousin said it, I will take care of it myself, and I will definitely satisfy my cousin."
