Shen Nanbao said in a light tone, "She is an official from a restaurant. Although her life is not rich, she still has enough food and clothing with the support of the students. She can even occasionally help beg for food on the street. beggar."
Fengyue said: "What a strange thing! When I was young, I saw the grandeur of Bian's family and felt that she was not from an ordinary family. However... since she came out to look for work, did something happen to her family?"
Shen Nanbao nodded slowly, "He is a member of her official family. When he entered school, he had some selfish intentions and did not report his epilepsy. As a result, he had symptoms during class. Because he came so unexpectedly, everyone was silenced. Although his official sent someone to call the doctor, it was too late to get there. He could only watch the health worker choke to death in the foam from his own vomiting. The health worker's house was like this. Du Miaomiao naturally couldn't bear the sudden pain and strangulation, so she immediately reported it to the Yamen."
Fengyue was very angry when she heard this, "I kept it secret and didn't report it, but when something happened, I have to blame Mr. Menguan for it. It's too unreasonable."
Fengyue is like this, her belly is full of righteousness. When she encounters injustice, she becomes angry for those who feel wronged.
So he cursed and cursed, and cursed at Fu Yin's head, saying that he had misjudged his eyes and that such a thing was so unfair.
Only then did Shen Nanbao smile and say, "When did I say that Fu Yin had convicted the official of the Bian family?"
Feng Yue's figure shuddered visibly, "If you are not guilty, how could you be in such a miserable state?"
Shen Nanbao said: "It's because officials of the Bian family couldn't use it personally. They felt that he died in his own house. Although the family concealed the report first, he was the one who handled it improperly, so he asked for punishment." , give the family 20 taels as compensation. Twenty taels is not a small amount, and an ordinary family can eat grain for a year with three or four taels. Bian's family emptied their money, and even gave up their own house. The house was sold, and with some bits and pieces of subsidies from other students, it was only six taels."
Fengyue didn't know what to say when she heard this, "The yamen has found him not guilty, but he still has to go to the pole to apologize to others."
Lu Kui said: "He is a teacher. He is a model of uprightness in his actions, words and deeds."
Hearing these words, Feng Yue and his wife rolled their eyes and shook their heads like a rattle, "Whatever, I don't have enough to eat, why do I care about whether others are hungry? Anyway, I won't do anything like this. To make yourself and those close to you suffer like this."
Now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in worrying about it anymore.
Anyway, it is the choice of others, so I can only sigh a few words.
Realizing this, Feng Yue also felt that there was no point in getting angry. She turned her head randomly and saw Shen Nanbao. She sat there quietly, half of her face reflected in the Xiangnan stone curtain, giving her a very gentle and graceful look.
Fengyue couldn't help but ask: "Where is Madam? If Madam encounters such a situation, will she choose the big one or the small one?"
These words made Lu Kui beside him laugh, "Listen to what you are asking, there is no way to choose one's way of life."
Feng Yue didn't know why, she tilted her head and blinked her round eyes.
Shen Nanbao's slender eyebrows arched slightly, and there was a hint of sadness in his long tone, "But no, after saying so, who would choose me?"
Since he had to go to Mipu tomorrow, Shen Nanbao rejected Xiao Yichen's offer of tenderness that night and went to bed early.
He left Xiao Yichen aside until the next day, with a face that looked like someone owed him a few hundred taels, stretching eight feet in length.
Shen Nanbao also understands that the young lady is fine with this matter and has no enthusiasm, but the young man is different. This is the happiest thing in life that can be compared with climbing a high place and being named on the gold list.
What's more, they were newlyweds. Even if they were an emperor, they would have to take a three-day break to have some fun with their wives.
He was the only one who took care of her housework at first and didn't force her. Later, he finally finished the work and had some fun, but ended up being killed by himself.
Therefore, Shen Nanbao was very humble and obedient during breakfast, and worked diligently to prepare the dishes for him.
Xiao Yichen, however, became increasingly bitter and huffed. After serving a round of dishes, he saw that the plates in front of him were piled as high as a mound. He finally said, "If you do this, the taste will become even worse for me."
In fact, the original intention was to ask Shen Nanbao to take care of herself. After all, she had to go to the rice shop today. She would not have the strength to do anything if she was not full.
But I don’t know if it was because I was so full of resentment yesterday that my tongue was soaked in bitterness. Anyway, as soon as I opened my mouth, the words went completely wrong.
Hearing this, Shen Nanbao's face immediately dropped.
So, it’s better not to be too nice to others. After all, it’s human nature to rub one’s nose and face, and no matter how noble a scholar is, this is inevitable.
Shen Nanbao clenched his chopsticks tightly and looked at Xiao Yichen with a smile on his face, "My father-in-law is right."
Seeing her pick up the bowl and start eating by herself, Xiao Yichen's throat felt as if it was stuffed with coptis, "That's not what I meant..."
However, Shen Nanbao stopped listening and nodded perfunctorily, "I don't care, sir, just eat. If you don't eat it, it will get cold. When it gets cold, ask someone to cook it back in the kitchen and reheat it. It won't be the same as before."
These words choked Xiao Yichen, and he dared to step forward to ask for a favor before leaving the house, "I woke up and saw that there was a lot of fog. I guess the sun is very bright today, so why don't we go there in a sedan chair."
As a result, these words also hit the muzzle of the gun, and Shen Nanbao squeezed out a cold smile from his neat row of glutinous rice teeth, "It's not my fault, I made my father-in-law sleepless all night long."
Without giving Xiao Yichen a chance to speak, he turned around and led Feng Yue away without looking back.
Fengyue followed Shen Nanbao closely, turned back to look at Xiao Yichen at the door, and said somewhat unbearably, "Madam, my father-in-law is sometimes a little naughty, but he has good intentions towards you. If you don't believe me, look back at me. , standing at the door like dried bacon strips, a little sinful."
She has only been in Gongzhou for more than three months, and Fengyue has learned the Gongzhou dialect very well.
Shen Nanbao raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard this, but his words were still a little cold, "There are so many dried bacon strips that people are rushing to get them. I can see where I have done something wrong. I can't treat this little man like this." It can’t be too tight, otherwise it will make them forget about it and make them lose their focus.”
This trance makes sense.
Feng Yue nodded calmly and said nothing more.
They were speechless all the way until they arrived at Mipu. Under the warm reception of the waiter, Shen Nanbao smiled and said, "I'm not here to cause you any trouble, and you shouldn't treat me as a guest."
Mr. Accountant is calm and has a goatee. Because he always wears a gray and white gown, and occasionally makes trouble with one or two words, he gives people a sense of indifference and indifference. However, when he treats Shen Nanbao To be polite, he crossed his hands and bowed.
"Ma'am, you don't have to be like this. We are all workers in the store, and it is our job to take care of you."
Shen Nanbao pursed his lips, and a little pear dimple bloomed on his chin, "The official invited the big guy here so that the big guy can cut off the gold and create a prosperous business together. And I came here, too. That’s fine, so there’s really no need to take too much care of me, just stick to the work you’re doing.”
With these words, everyone dared to leave Shen Nanbao alone and resume their work.
Shen Nanbao asked the waiter about the waiters on the rice shop. There were three rough men, one who looked after the shop, and one who was the accountant. The number of people didn't sound like a lot, but in a place like Gongzhou where most of them were just a few members of the family. The cost and manpower are more than enough.
Just hire a group of temporary porters to store the goods in the cellar when the goods are ready.
Knowing that the rice was prepared for the spread of war in the future, Shen Nanbao's first concern was not the business's accounting books, but the size of the granary.
The waiter was surprised when he heard this, "Madam, don't you know?"
Seeing Shen Nanbao's confused face, the waiter added: "Our boss thought that the cellar of his granary was not big enough, so Teter bought the yamen's treasury to stock up. So Madam had to travel to two places to see the granary. Son."
After saying this, a brawny man with bare arms and body exposed jumped in and said, "Our boss has enough money in his pocket. If it were any other rice shop, who could have this stock?"
Then he smiled, revealing his white teeth on his dark face. His appearance was even more pristine than Zhenqi's.
Shen Nanbao was stunned for a moment.
The waiter hurriedly pursed his lips and called out, "You are the most eloquent, and you are so lazy that you take advantage of every opportunity!" Then he looked at Shen Nanbao, with the same humble and respectful smile just now, "Madam, if you want to go and see it, I will go and find it right now." The carriage is here to take you there."
Shen Nanbao asked, "Did our boss personally negotiate about the treasury of this Yamen, or was it the second boss?"
The waiter was stunned by her question, and then he said with a smile: "Of course it was our big boss who went to discuss it in person. After all, it was agreed that we would have to sign a contract. Although our rice shop is jointly opened by two bosses, But the main business is our boss, so it would be most appropriate for him to go to the Yamen to sign the contract."
After saying that, seeing Shen Nanbao's solemn expression, the smile on the waiter's face stopped, "Does Madam think something is wrong?"
Afraid that he had said the wrong thing, the waiter considered it carefully and said in a cautious tone: "Actually, the treasury doesn't matter who negotiates. As long as it can store food, it's good, right?"
Logically speaking, this is indeed the case, but the governor knows Xiao Yichen, how can he come forward?
Shen Nanbao thought deeply, looked up and saw the worried face of the waiter, and smiled hurriedly, "No, I just don't understand the rules of signing the contract, so I thought deeply about it for a while."
Afraid of being overthinking, when this was brought to Xiao Yichen's ears, Shen Nanbao took a breath and asked Mr. Accountant Zhang to take the account book and count the accounts on it himself.
It had just opened, and there were not many account books, just some expenses related to running orders and buying rice. Therefore, after Shen Nanbao finished reading, the old man was almost past noon.
Looking out from the cool and dark shop, the world was filled with dazzling white, and Shen Nanbao couldn't help but squint.
Fengyue looked at the dripping water in the drain and asked in a low voice: "Madam, shall we go to deliver food to the father-in-law?"
