Now that the news has been announced, there is no need to be secretive anymore. That afternoon, Shen Yi wrote a letter to his father in the capital at his third brother's house, stating the approximate time of his arrival in the capital.
We should arrive in Jiankang before the Lantern Festival.
After all, it was not long before the Spring Festival before the Lantern Festival, and it would take some time to prepare for the college exam after arriving in Jiankang, so we couldn't be too hasty.
The time now is the end of November, and there are still a few days until the twelfth lunar month.
In other words, Shen Yi would have to stay in Jiangdu for more than a month before leaving for Jiankang.
After that, Shen Yi stayed at Shen Ling's house for two or three days. After two or three days, he returned to his home and made detailed plans for his future.
There is no way around it.
Because this era is not any era he is familiar with. Not knowing the direction of history means that he is also a part of this era. Like ordinary people in this era, he has no idea what will happen tomorrow.
Since he can't be a prophet, he has no way to perfectly arrange the rest of his life. In other words, there is darkness ahead for Shen Yi, and he needs to explore on his own bit by bit.
Since you need to explore by yourself, you have to be cautious and step by step.
After tinkering at home for several days, on the fourth day, Shen Yi changed into new clothes and left the house.
At this time, the time has entered the twelfth lunar month.
Although Jiangdu is in the south, it is not completely cold in the twelfth lunar month. At this moment, Shen Yi had put on thicker cotton clothes. After he went out, he habitually bought some food and carried it in his hand, and then wandered around to Xu Fu and others. People's yard entrance.
After knocking on the door, the courtyard door opened quickly.
Because it was daytime, all six little guys were at home. After seeing Shen Yi, all six of them were a little excited.
Because it has been nearly a month since Shen Yi came over to "beat" them.
This made several little guys feel abandoned.
Although they have been able to make their own money and live independently, after being "taken care of" by Shen Yi for a period of time, they were suddenly left out, and of course there was a gap in their hearts.
Especially Xu Fu.
After he saw Shen Yi, he bowed his head deeply to Shen Yi and said, "Master."
Shen Yi first glanced at the six people and saw that all six of them were wearing heavy cotton clothes. He nodded slightly and handed the food he was carrying to the younger sister, indicating that they should share the food. Then he raised his eyes and looked at Xu Fu his forehead and asked: "Is your forehead okay?"
"never mind."
Xu Fu bowed his head respectfully: "It's already fine."
Shen Yi stepped in, then looked back at Xu Fu and said, "I have something to talk to you about."
"yes."
Xu Fu followed Shen Yi into the back room. Before entering, he looked back at the other five little guys to signal them not to follow.
After entering the back room, Xu Fu poured tea for Shen Yi with a wink. After pouring the tea, he lowered his head to Shen Yi and said, "Master, is there anything you want me to do?"
"Nothing else, just the same thing I mentioned to you last time."
A smile appeared on Shen Yi's face and he said: "I passed the government examination and will go to Jiankang to take the college entrance examination after the year. I want to take you to Jiankang with me then. Can you go?"
"I can go."
Xu Fu answered without hesitation.
"Young Master wants me to go, so I will go."
"You must follow your heart. I have told you many times. The first time I helped you was because you helped me sing nursery rhymes. After that, I will help you and share your money. You...especially you, do not owe me anything. Me what."
Having said this, Shen Yi looked at Xu Fu and asked.
"Let me ask you, do you want to go?"
Xu Fu swallowed.
He was silent for a while, then lowered his head: "Go back to me, sir, I want to go."
Shen Yi smiled.
He looked at Xu Fu's face and asked, "Why?"
"Because I don't want to sell pancakes in Jiangdu all my life."
Xu Fu raised his head and looked at Shen Yi. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Following the young master will allow me to see some things that I couldn't see before."
"Um."
Shen Qilang nodded and said, "This reason is enough."
"Then prepare yourself during this period and accompany me to the capital after the new year."
Shen Yi grinned at Xu Fu: "If you follow me, you will indeed see some scenery that you can't see in Jiangdu. If we are lucky, you may see some scenery that you can't even imagine now."
This era has not yet reached the era of information explosion, so Xu Fu naturally understands the concept of "painting cakes", so Shen Yi's mysterious words made him quite excited.
He bowed his head deeply: "Yes."
"Although the several stalls here in Jiangdu are relatively mature, after you leave, you still have to find a manager from among them, otherwise you will be distracted by your own business in a few months. "
Shen Yi looked at Xu Fu and said calmly: "After all, you will need a few people around you who can do things in the future. Once those children are distracted, it will be difficult to lead the team. You still have to protect your little one." Team."
Having said this, Shen Yi paused and continued: "By the way, we need to find someone from among them who can take care of things. If our business to the capital is completed next year, I'm afraid most of your energy in the future will be placed in the capital. , let him take charge of Jiangdu."
Xu Fu lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Shen Yi and asked, "Master, the second brother is relatively calm, but last time he... didn't control the fourth child."
Xu Fu was talking about the nursery rhyme last time.
Although the fourth child spilled the beans about the nursery rhyme, the second child was also present at the time, so the second child is also responsible for this matter.
"This is your business. You can use whoever you want without asking me."
Shen Yi smiled at Xu Fu and said, "Don't be angry if you say something unpleasant."
Xu Fu shook his head: "Master, please tell me."
"Among the six of you, I will only talk to you. The others..."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and did not continue.
The other five were of little use.
At least that's what it looks like for now.
If you have to say it has any use, maybe it means that the little girl can be sold to a wealthy family as a maid?
Such words were quite cruel for a fourteen-year-old boy, but Xu Fu was young and mature. He just took a deep breath, bowed his head to Shen Yi and said, "I...understand what you mean, I will Take good care of them for the young master."
"Um."
Shen Yi paused and continued: "I need to use some of the money you earned during this period to go to the capital. Do you have any objection?"
When Shen Yi taught them how to make snacks, he made an agreement with the six of them.
The six of them earned a 50-50 split with Shen Yi.
Shen Yi alone gets 50%, and the six of them together get 50%.
Of course, this is just the distribution method of Jiangdu food stalls. If he starts a business of patent medicine in the future, Shen Yi will definitely not be able to separate from them like this.
If the business gets big, Shen Yi would be considered generous if he could give them 10%.
"no problem."
Xu Fu looked up at Shen Yi and asked, "How much do you want, Master?"
"Um…"
Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "I want fifty taels. You should have some with you when the time comes. There will probably be a lot of money in the capital."
Shen Yi had already spent almost all the money left by his father Shen Zhang, and left thirty taels for Shen Heng. Now Mr. Shen is poor and has to withdraw some dividends.
Xu Fu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
"Sir, I will leave fifty taels for a few of them, and I will take the rest to you to the capital."
