Back To My Husband’s Youth - Chapter 114

Jiangnan in March is like a painting.

In the misty rain, the new-born willow leaves are rustling in the wind. The men, women and children walking on the road all put on beautiful and thin spring clothes, the restaurants along the street sell fresh wine, and the singers on the painted boat are even more handy. He took the pipa and squeezed an unknown tone in his hand.

Every place exudes bright spring and new vigor.

Xu Yong brushed the dust off his body, sat down and looked around, smiling and sighing: “No wonder it is said that Jiangnan is rich, it is even more lively than our capital.”

The excitement of Jiangnan is different from the excitement of Beijing.

The capital city is located at the foot of the emperor, and everywhere is manifesting the prosperity of the emperor. There, you can meet the emperor and grandson nobles and the sons of the Hou mansion at every turn, but the lively there is a little dull and shackles, the closer to the power , The more careful, majestic and majestic, it makes people startled to watch.

And what about Jiangnan?

This place far away from the capital is like a paradise. No matter how rich the people are, everyone has a satisfying smile on their faces, which makes people happy when they look at it.

Cong Yu also laughed, “Yes, it’s better to go through so many places in Jiangnan.” He sighed and asked the boy in white clothes next to him, “My son, should we go to the business first or go back to rest first? Jiangnan Mr. Shen has already arranged a place for you to live.”

The boy in white wearing an arrow-sleeved short shirt was Li Qinyuan who left Beijing a few months ago. At that time, he now looks more calm and introverted.

Even though he is still young, the aura revealed on his body is not to be underestimated.

In the past few months, he first followed Gu Rong’s boat from north to south, and then Gu Rong left, and he took Xu Yong and Cong Yu to the northwest again, which was a full circle for the entire Great Zhou.

He also followed others out several times when he was young and playful.

But at that time, he felt bored in the capital, and simply escaped from the shackles, and he didn’t want to go wherever he went. As long as he was not in the capital, he would travel around the mountains and play, and when he was happy, he would sleep in a restaurant and take a picture of a boat. For a few days, it was all his heart.

this time–

He went there with a purpose. Whenever he walked through a place, he would keep a record of the local properties and keep in touch with some local farmers, which could be considered as paving the way for future business.

“Go to the store first.”

This business name was left by his mother.

The ancestral home of the Shen family was in Jiangnan. Before moving to the capital, the business of the Shen family was quite large in Jiangnan, but no matter how big the business was, it could not withstand generations of changes, not to mention the people doing business in Jiangnan. There are more and more businesses, so it is said that these generations of the Shen family are scholars, and because of their permanent residence in the capital, they only send people to take care of them, and this business in Jiangnan has long since disappeared.

At that time, his mother married to Li’s house.

Afraid of being wronged by her mother’s poor family background, her grandmother left the business in Jiangnan and Jingcheng to her mother. Later, when an accident occurred in the Shen family, her mother sold most of the shops in Jingcheng. Because of the distance between Jiangnan and the lack of business, she left them all. Come down.

He traveled a few places and finally planned to settle down in Jiangnan temporarily. Firstly, because Jiangnan is rich and both land and water are accessible to facilitate the flow of goods, and secondly, he wants to revive the reputation of the Shen family.

“correct–“

Li Qinyuan didn’t know what he thought of, and asked Cong Yu beside him, his voice was not happy or angry, but a calm tone, “You didn’t tell them, am I coming back today?”

Cong Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: “No, Guan Shi just asked when you will arrive, but we only reported an imaginary number for the fixed number on our way.”

“Ok.”

Li Qinyuan nodded, and said nothing, “Let’s go.”

The wind lifted his robe, and in the sound of a Jiangnan minor, many women playing the pipa on the painted boat threw the eyes of spring water at the handsome visitor from afar, but this seemingly romantic young man Without squinting, it’s like a dull wood with incomprehensible style.

Raised his whip and ran forward.

…

The Shen family firm is also called “Defeng firm”.

In the past few decades, the word “Defeng” is well-known in Jiangnan. Although it is now down and out, the location of the head office is still the best. The traffic is very convenient, but it is compared with other bustling ones. In the shop, this Defeng firm looks exceptionally deserted, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a singularity.

Seeing Li Qinyuan frowning, Xu Yong couldn’t help feeling anxious.

Their master looked young, but he was very capable. In the past few months, they were originally worried about how much friction would be caused by taking a family child who didn’t know the world. They didn’t expect that there would be no friction between them. Let them see the talent of this young man.

Thunder means knows how to take control, and they are now convinced of Li Qinyuan.

Xu Yong said in a low voice: “Master, let’s go in first.”

Jiangnan’s business is not bad anymore.

Li Qinyuan nodded and didn’t say anything. He turned over and got off his horse and walked straight in, but when he stepped inside, the expression that had just eased up immediately became difficult to look… The goods on the shelves were in a mess, probably before. Someone came in to look through it, and no one cleaned up after they left.

The guy even leaned on the counter and took a nap. He didn’t open his eyes when he heard someone coming in. He lazily said, “I want to see what I want.”

While talking, she also changed to a comfortable sleeping position, without any intention to greet the guests.

Li Qinyuan has seen many people in the past few months, and his temperament has not been as reckless as he used to be. At this time, he only looked ugly when he saw this picture, and he never had an episode. On the contrary, Xu Yong and the two who followed in changed their faces. He shouted: “Asshole thing, what are you doing!”

The guy was suddenly drunk, so scared that he almost didn’t fall, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw three people standing in the room.

Two men in their thirties, and a very handsome boy in white.

Not comparable to

The two men behind him looked furious, and the noble-faced young man had always been calm. When he saw him, he just raised his eyes indifferently, like looking at a cat or dog, without emotion… but just this. At first glance, he was frightened, his knees weakened, and he wanted to kneel on the spot.

Two quarters later.

Li Qinyuan sat in the box on the second floor. He held a cup of tea just delivered by his buddy from below. He looked at Shen Bai, who was kneeling and trembling shoulders. He did not immediately scream, but dropped his eyes and drank the tea in his hand. This small box is so quiet that even a needle can be heard.

After a while, he looked at people and said, “This year’s New Year’s Xinyang Maojian, Shen Guanshi has a good taste.”

Shen Bai has five in his forties this year, and he is considered a side branch of the Shen family. If he is married, Li Qinyuan would have to call him “Uncle Cousin.” These years, the Shen family’s business in Jiangnan has been managed by him… The decent master of the family, he has the blood of the Shen family, and Shen Bai can be regarded as a hegemonic figure in this Defeng firm.

Although he had learned that Li Qinyuan was coming, he didn’t take it seriously.

In his opinion, the young master of the government is to do business with children, and he gets bored within a few days. At most people come, he serves delicious food and drinks, but he doesn’t think of where he lives and waits on him. Everyone was arranged, and this young man came to the main store first without saying a word.

When someone came to report the news just now, he was still having a drink with the Shintou singer.

He wasn’t afraid to see the servants who rushed in in a hurry.

What the Maotou boy knows, he can at most be scolded by him. This will listen to people talking about tea, and Shen Bai’s heart is really relaxed, and the fear just now is less. He raised his face and said: “You want to like it, I There are still some in the house, I’ll bring it to you later.”

It’s not enough, but when I think about it, I knelt down against Li Qinyuan’s eyes, and said with a careful smile: “You should be tired too. The little one has already prepared a place for you, and has prepared a person for you. Why don’t you go back and rest first?”

“As for the ignorant people downstairs, let the younger ones take care of them.”

“Keep them in order!”

Cong Yu, who stood on the side, looked at Shen Bai and didn’t even want to say anything. He looked at him as if he was looking at the dead, and he was really used to doing majestic blessings in the south of the Yangtze River. He didn’t know what he was. Seeing that the master wanted to fool him when he was young, it was…

act recklessly!

Li Qinyuan didn’t say anything when he heard these words. He still laughed, leaning on the chair, supporting his forehead in one hand and holding the cup of tea in the other. He casually looked at Shen Bai who was kneeling on the ground, his tone sloppy, but not. Answering his words, “I heard Guan Shi has a new son this year. Congratulations.”

Just now he was talking about tea, but now he is talking about his family affairs.

Shen Bai was also confused for a while by others, so he could only think about it: “I originally wanted to send a letter to the capital, but thinking about the long journey, this is a scam. Where is it worth your visit? What if you are? Want to see, why don’t you come here today as a guest? Just because the family is too small and there are so many people, you must not dislike it.”

Li Qinyuan smiled and did not respond. Seeing Xu Yong coming in, he closed his eyes and asked people indifferently, “Is the account book found?”

“

Yes. “

Xu Yong nodded, bowed and offered the ledger.

Shen Bai changed his face as soon as he saw the ledger, his jaw tightened, and even his shoulders became tighter, but he knelt back after thinking of something, “You want to read the ledger, just like the young one, why bother.”

There were some complaints in his words, and some loyal servants were humiliated, and said in grief: “Although I am a side branch, I still have the blood of the Shen family. Back then, the old lady asked me to take care of Jiangnan’s affairs. Come here. This is happening again and this is happening again, and it really hurts the hearts of our old people.” Xu Yong and Cong Yu looked at him with disgust, and when he was about to attack, he saw Li Qinyuan’s face lifted up his hand faintly.

The two of them gritted their teeth and retreated. The room returned to its original silence, except for the sound made by Li Qinyuan looking through the account book.

Seeing Li Qinyuan looking at the ledger, Shen Bai was not scared at all. Not to mention that this was an impenetrable clerk. Even if he found the most savvy and capable accountant, he would definitely not make a mistake, if it hadn’t been right to the Wei State Palace in the capital. A little scared, he had already put on the face of an old god.

It was another moment later.

Li Qinyuan put down the ledger.

Shen Bai immediately aggrieved: “You have finished reading, but there are any shortcomings that can be corrected even if you look back.”

Li Qinyuan smiled and said: “No, Guanshi Shen has done a good job.” Seeing Shen Bai showing a smile, he tapped his finger on the table and asked: “Guanshi Shen has done his best for Defeng over the years. I heard you Do you still live in the old house decades ago?”

Shen Bai was taken aback, then replied: “Yes, yeah…”

“You have a lot of people in your family, why don’t you want to change one?” Li Qinyuan’s youthful face showed a curious look, and he really looked a bit like the son of a young man who didn’t know anything about the world.

Shen Bai originally had some twists and turns in his heart. Seeing his face, he immediately cried out: “Where is this something I don’t want, you know, our Defeng income has not been very good these years, Jiangnan Zhaizi It’s expensive, how can my bonus be enough to buy a house?”

“If this is the former Defeng, the younger one can still think about it. Today’s Defeng, alas.”

As he said, he wiped the corners of his eyes pretentiously, “Now my sons are going to get wives, and my daughters are going to be in the cabinet. It really costs money everywhere.”

No one interrupted Shen Bai when he was speaking.

After he finished speaking, Li Qinyuan said in a puzzled voice: “But how did I hear that there is a house with four entrances in Anju Alley that is also owned by Guan Guan Shen? And the hot spring village in the suburbs is also owned by Guan Guan.”

The words are over.

The cry stopped abruptly.

Shen Bai held up an old teary face, his eyes were full of disbelief. After touching Li Qinyuan’s smiley face, he regained his senses. He blushed and retorted with a thick neck: “Why, how is it possible! You are hitting.” I heard it somewhere, it’s ridiculous!”

“is it?”

Li Qinyuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were cold.

At this moment, he no longer looked like he was young and ignorant, his eyes were cold, his face was silent, and even the words he said were wrapped in a bitter tone, “Manager Shen knows that the people who deceived the boss and sent them to the government , What kind of crime will be convicted?”

Shen Bai looked at Li Qinyuan in front of him. How could this be the elder brother who didn’t know anything about the world? This was simply a god!

He still had some fluke in his heart. Just when he wanted to open his mouth to argue, he

Hearing people say: “You are very good, not only know that you are going to make false accounts, but you also know that you don’t have to say anything. Your two house deeds are written in the names of your friend Han Shu…” Seeing his pale face, his hands on his forehead, he laughed Looking at the person, “You said, can the Jiangnan Yamen board tell you the truth?”

A fluttering word hit Shen Bai’s ear, but like thunder, he was limp on the ground, his lips were slightly open, and he couldn’t say a word.

After a while.

Cong Yu led a depressed Shen Bai to leave. Xu Yong looked at Li Qinyuan who was still sitting in his chair in his spare time. He still couldn’t help but ask, “How do you know this manager Shen has a problem?” These years, they I have also had contacts with Jiangnan, and I have never noticed anything wrong with this manager Shen.

Li Qinyuan leaned on the chair and smiled upon hearing the words: “Guess it.”

“what?”

Xu Yong was dumbfounded, obviously not expecting such an answer.

Seeing him like this, Li Qinyuan couldn’t help but laugh again. He took the oranges on the fruit plate casually, and asked casually as he peeled them: “What do you think of Shen Bai?”

Xu Yong thought for a while and replied: “Because Guan Shi has a relationship with the main family, he has always been dominant in Jiangnan, but he still abides by the rules.”

Otherwise, when they came, he and Cong Yu wouldn’t have kept their minds at all, so they trusted him.

Li Qinyuan ate a piece of oranges. The oranges in this season are still very sour. He twisted his eyebrows and threw them on one side at random. He took another sip of tea and said, “How can a person who really abides by the rules still have children at this age?” He lives in an old mansion, but he drank a golden one or two of Xinyang Maojian. No matter how much he pretended to look like him on the surface, he still refused to stay behind in his bones.”

“So I asked someone to investigate for me before I came.”

“If he is just lustful and greedy for small money, it doesn’t matter. In the final analysis, he is also from the Shen family…” Li Qinyuan said, his brows faded again, he walked to the window, opened the Xuan window, and looked down at the hustle and bustle. In the street, the tone was very flat, “But he shouldn’t have done things so absolutely.”

Hearing the slight stunned by what he said, Xu Yong’s heart jumped, and he quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake, “This matter, the subordinates are also wrong, the subordinates should be more concerned about Jiangnan.”

Li Qinyuan laughed when he heard this. He walked over and patted Xu Yong on the shoulder, warmly, “I’m not telling you this to accuse you. I can’t live in the south of the Yangtze River. You have to worry about things here. .”

“Let’s go.”

He said again, “After so many days, it’s time to rest.”

Xu Yong followed his footsteps, “Then do you still live in the place arranged by Shen Guan?”

“No, I have already arranged it with someone.” The old Shen Bai, who knows what smoky things he will make, if he turns his head to let the little ancestor in the capital know, I’m afraid he should cry again, thinking of Gu Wu Worry, Li Qinyuan’s heart suddenly softened again.

He looked down at the sachet around his waist, and gently brushed the lines on his head with his fingers.

so long.

It’s time to write a letter to someone.

Dingguo Gongfu, picking up the star building.

It was another sunny day, and the servants were rushing in and out, changing the curtains of the drapery.

Gu Wuyou is the most leisurely one. There is no class in the academy today. She returned with her grandmother after giving the Buddha ceremony. Now she is leaning on the concubine couch under this corridor.

Holding the book, with one hand running along the fifteen hair, handing people a nut from time to time.

In the distance, the peach blossoms are diagonal and pink.

The newly-grown wisteria flowers on the shelf above her head are also like clusters of grapes, moving with the wind, and from time to time a few flowers fall on the hem of her lilac-colored skirt.

A little girl with a double hair bun ran in with a letter, her red face filled with a spring smile, and she smiled when she saw her, “Princess, there is your letter.”

In the past six months, the maids who used to fear her like a tiger no longer fear her.

Without raising her head, Gu Wuyou turned over another page, yawned, and asked, “Who sent it?” Spring was bright and beautiful, and she was suffering from spring trouble and wanted to sleep soundly in this spring light.

Where did the little girl know who sent it, just glanced at the letter stamp, and said, “It says Lin’an on the letter stamp.”

Lin’an?

Gu Wuyou was stunned. She didn’t know the people in Lin’an. Just when she thought about it, she suddenly felt as if she was acupunctured by someone, and she was stunned. But for a moment, she was alive again, and she immediately sat up and took After passing the letter, holding your breath and opening the envelope, a peach blossom fell out of it and a piece of paper was attached.

Letter “Peace”.

On the back, it was written in two small characters, “Miss you.”
