The candlelight in the study was not very bright, but flickered a bit.
It was under this flickering faint light that the woman in front of him actually looked more earthly, like a fairy.
She flipped up her hair on her temples, took a step closer, her breasts were almost close to Shen Yi's face, and then reached out and hugged Shen Yi gently, as if she was crying and yet smiling.
"Can't I come?"
There are only two women who can be so close to Shen Yi. Among them, the eldest wife of the Shen family is still in Jiankang, and she is pregnant with Liujia. Naturally, it is impossible for her to come to Huai'an Mansion, so there are no others left.
Ye Chan, the daughter of the Ye family in Fuzhou, was raised in Mr. Shen's "outer house" in the southeast.
However, it is not accurate to say that Shen Yi was raised outside the house, because Shen Yi did not spend any money on Ye Chan. On the contrary, Ye Chan, a young rich woman, often subsidized Master Shen after making money.
It should be said that it is Master Shen's outhouse in the southeast.
This "foreigner" had a very good figure. Shen Yi was sitting and standing with her. Being hugged like this made her so stuffy that she could hardly speak. After a long time, Shen Yi pushed her gently and she let go. hand.
Mr. Shen took a long breath, looked up at Miss Ye in front of him, and said with a smile: "It's not that I can't come, I'm asking you how you came."
"The business of the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce has grown, so I came to Jiankang to discuss business with several businesses in Jiankang."
Speaking of this, she lowered her head slightly.
"I originally thought that after arriving in Jiankang, I would be able to meet the young master. Even if I get beaten up by the wife of the family, as long as I can see the young master, it will be worth it."
She lowered her head and her eyes were a little red.
"Who would have thought that after arriving in Jiankang, the young master would no longer be in Jiankang."
She wiped her tears and said, "I asked Mr. Xu, but he refused to tell me where you were..."
"I haven't been able to see the young master and can't go to Shen's house, so I am preparing to go back to Fuzhou. When I was preparing to leave a few days ago, several father-in-laws from the palace found me and said that they could bring me to see the young master... "
Hearing this, Shen Yi nodded silently.
It was not surprising that Ye Chan wanted to come to see him. What was strange to him was how Ye Chan came here.
Since it was arranged by someone in the palace, it should be Sun Jin who brought her here. It is not surprising to say that.
】
Thinking of this, Shen Yi stretched out his hand and held the little rich woman's hand, and said with a smile: "Xu Fu told me earlier that Chan'er might have to come to Jiankang, but the appointment from the imperial court has been made, and I have urgent matters, so I can't We are waiting for you in Jiankang."
He smiled at Ye Chan and said: "It seems that the business of the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce is very good. In less than a year, the business has been established."
Ye Chan was held by Shen Yi, and the grievance in her heart could no longer be endured. She stepped forward again, suffocating Shen Yi in her arms, and hugged Mr. Shen's head tightly. Her tears seemed to be broken, one drop at a time. One drop at a time fell on Imperial Envoy Shen's head.
"How big can your business be in one year? Master, you still make fun of me like this..."
Although Ye Chan has been in charge of the Ye family for three years, she is still around 20 years old this year, which is the age of falling in love. When Shen Yi was in Fuzhou, Miss Ye couldn't feel anything. As soon as Shen Yi left Fuzhou, she felt like An empty piece.
When I don’t talk about tea or think about food, I always feel uncomfortable when I’m free.
It was only then that she discovered that the "several years" agreed with Shen Yi were not easy to live by.
Therefore, after Shen Yi left, she concentrated on the affairs of the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce. Until one day, the Chamber of Commerce needed to go to Jiankang to purchase a batch of medicinal materials. As a big boss, she volunteered to come to Jiankang.
She felt aggrieved, so she kept crying. After a while, Mr. Shen finally squeezed out his head, took a breath, and said with a wry smile: "Okay Chan'er, hold me in your arms again. My arms are fine, but you are holding them back." died."
Hearing Shen Yi's words, Ye Chan quickly let go and took a look at Shen Yi's arm through the candlelight. Shen Yi's right arm was still in a sling, hanging on his chest.
Just now he was writing on the paper with his left hand, and the writing was twisted and ugly.
Seeing Shen Yi's arm with a cloth hanging on it, Ye Chan couldn't help but wipe her tears again: "Master, aren't you a civil servant? Why did you hurt your arm?"
"Civil officials sometimes have to kill with a knife."
Mr. Shen glanced at the candle on the table and said softly: "The candlelight at night is too dim for Chan'er to see clearly. When it gets bright tomorrow, you can see it. My husband is a little braver than before."
The young scholar raised his head slightly, smiled at Ye Chan and said: "Since coming to Huai'an, ten Qi people have died at the hands of my husband. It can be said that he is the bravest of the three armies."
"In the Huai'an Dusi Army, everyone calls me the bloody-handed butcher Shen Ziheng."
This sentence is naturally a joke made by Mr. Shen.
However, what he said was not bragging. In these few battles, Master Shen personally went into battle several times under the protection of internal guards. Although he did not kill ten people, he at least beheaded ten people.
Whether he's dead or not, I don't know.
Mr. Shen's joke did not amuse Ye Chan. Miss Ye looked at Shen Yi's right hand, and by candlelight, looked at the crooked words on the paper on Shen Yi's desk. She felt a little sad and wiped her tears. .
"Why are you still writing here despite being injured? In such a huge Huai'an mansion, there isn't even a single literate person?"
"Literate people naturally have it."
Mr. Shen reached out to Ye Chan with his left hand. Miss Ye understood and bent slightly, letting Shen Yi wipe away her tears.
After wiping away his tears, Shen Yicai said softly: "Among the literate people, there are very few trustworthy ones. The only one who can ghostwrite for me is the prefect of Huai'an. He also has many things to be busy with, so he can't always stay here with me. Be a clerk for me."
At this time, Shen Yi was still a little injured, so basically all the things that could be entrusted to him were entrusted to him. The things placed on his desk at this time were all major matters and all secrets.
These are Master Shen's authority and cannot be shared with others.
As he said this, Mr. Shen looked at the paperwork on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "I have never practiced writing with my left hand. I was here alone. I don't know when I am going to write, but you Chan'er happened to be here." , finally someone can ghostwrite for me."
Ye Chan was still a little sad at first, but when she heard this, she felt a little moved.
Because these things cannot be easily shown to others, Shen Yi was willing to show them to her, and even let her ghostwrite them.
She wiped her tears. He walked to the table and rubbed some more ink, then walked to Shen Yi and stretched out his hand to support Shen Yi.
"Master, do you want to get up and sit next to me, or do you want me to write next to you?"
Master Shen stretched out his left hand and wrapped it around her waist.
"The arm is injured, but the leg is not injured. Chan'er just sits on my lap and writes."
Ye Chan's face turned red, and just when she was about to push away, Shen Yi hugged her on his lap.
Master Shen now is very different from the frail scholar from Jiangdu back then. He has paid great attention to physical exercise over the years, and several years of military service have made his body much stronger. How can Ye Chan be his opponent? He directly tied one hand in his arms.
Miss Ye's face was slightly red, but she didn't resist much. After taking a deep breath, she picked up the brush, glanced at the paper on the table, and asked: "Sir, this General Ling said..."
"It was said that the western front was temporarily peaceful. After the weather became colder and colder, the barbarians in the north also became more peaceful. However, there seemed to be more scouts in the north. He captured more than a dozen."
"General Ling asked the young master for instructions, saying that the warships have not arrived yet, and he would like to temporarily borrow some fishing boats and merchant ships nearby to train the navy."
"This way, when the imperial warship arrives, you won't be unfamiliar with water warfare..."
Mr. Shen thought for a while and said, "Well, just write your consent. Be careful not to force fishermen and merchants to borrow boats."
Ye Chan nodded slightly, took a deep breath, put the pen on the paper, and replied according to Shen Yi's words.
When the word "forced" was written, Miss Ye suddenly said "Yeah" and hurriedly stood up from Shen Yi's lap. She looked back at Master Shen with a blush on her face.
"Making trouble..."
