Whether it's sincere words, love words, or even complaints and grievances, there should be thousands of words to express, but there is only one sentence left on my lips: You are back!
Shen Hao, who prides himself on having a hard-hearted heart, felt the joy of his family members around him and the coldness of his chest and back slightly soaked with tears. His throat felt a little choked for a moment, and he hugged his arms tightly. He could only respond repeatedly, "I'm back. came back."
After entering the main room of his home, Shen Hao washed his hands and wiped his face while being served by Xia Nu, while looking at the four people standing in the corner of the hall who looked awkward.
Two of the four people were standing in front, wearing luxurious robes and having rather wealthy figures. The two people behind were dressed as warriors and should be the bodyguards of the two people in front.
After wiping his face, Shen Hao leaned back in his chair, took a sip of the hot tea brought to him by Yu Qiao, smiled and asked the people standing by: "I just heard outside that these two are imperial merchants. The steward, I don’t know your surname, and which royal merchant name you are from?”
"I, Zhang Houfeng, belong to Hongmen Company. Tian is the manager. I have met Mr. Shen."
"I, Zhu Ying, belong to the Hua Fei Yu Company. I am also the manager. I have met the Commander-in-Chief."
The five major imperial merchants are red, sword, flower, stele and tea. The "Hongmen" and "Hua Feiyu" mentioned by these two people are the "red" and "hua" among the five imperial merchants. However, as far as Gu Shenhao knew, these two imperial merchants did not seem to have a direct relationship with Emperor Shu. The imperial merchants directly under the emperor were "tea" and "dao".
"Why did you two come to the house? I think I have never had any contact with the imperial merchants. Do you think you two have something to take care of me for?" Shen Hao was talking, and Yu Qiao was sitting next to him. and Chu Linxiang. In this way, both women were smiling, but their eyes were still shining.
Hearing the conversation between Shen Hao and the other party, Chu Linxiang and Yu Qiao also looked over, and bursts of joy suddenly filled their hearts. These two people came to the house many times to ask for an audience, and their tone became more and more exaggerated, in order to force them to give up the mere 20% of the liquor store members and Gemei Air Conditioning members they had left behind. And just now, the words of persecution were almost covered up. He threatened that if the members were not handed over, the Shen family would be in difficulty in the future. He also asked Shen Weang to weigh the weight of the imperial merchant and see if the Shen family could afford to offend him now.
But now?
The two people who were so aggressive before did not even have the courage to sit down, and only dared to stand by the wall. The smile on his face was trembling, and the cold sweat on his cheeks never stopped.
They were scared.
Really scared. You must know that the person sitting in front of you is a dignified evil star! The blood in his hands cannot be washed away. From the prime minister of the dynasty to the evil cultivator, Master Shen has never been soft on anyone he can kill. And he is notoriously cruel and will seek revenge.
How can the managers of the two companies dare to say a harsh word now? If it were someone else, they would still feel that relying on their status as an imperial merchant, the other party would not dare to touch them, and they would be worried. But now they are facing a deadly evil star. Killing people should not be too simple. They don't care who is behind them.
"Sir, you are joking. I came here because I heard that the two ladies had come out from Zhangjia Liquor Shop and Gemei Air Conditioner. The price they offered was a bit low. I was worried that I was in urgent need of money, so I came to ask. If the two ladies are in urgent need, you can raise some money with our two businesses. It is not considered as interest, but it should be regarded as a reward for Mr. Shen's service to the country and the people for so many years, and it also shows a little kindness to the common people like me."
"Yes, yes, Master Shen, if you need anything, please feel free to ask and give us a chance to express our gratitude."
Let’s get over the current level first and then talk about it! Telling lies with open eyes, or being arrogant but respectful, what does this mean?
face? what is that? My hen!
Yu Qiao and Chu Linxiang, who knew the cause and effect, were so shocked that their eyes almost fell out after hearing what these two said. They have never seen such shamelessness...
On the other hand, Shen Hao was very calm and did not get angry because the two people in front of him were talking nonsense about their previous actions and changing their purposes randomly. In his opinion, these two people were quite smart. Shameless, know how to advance and retreat, and know what to choose. And the implication was that he knew that he couldn't hide it from Shen Hao, so he directly placed a low stake and gave him a hole as an apology. Haven't you ever seen someone say the words "a brief expression of your feelings"? It was made clear that they wanted to use money to settle matters, and I hope that after Shen Hao took the money, he would forget about their previous rudeness.
The meaning seems to be implicit, but in fact it is considered straightforward in the eyes of people who are used to dealing with this kind of things. Shen Hao naturally understood.
"Haha, just in time, I can borrow 300,000 silver. It will be delivered tomorrow so that I can issue an IOU to you two." Shen Hao smiled and gave him a price that would allow him not to pursue "imprudence and impoliteness". Three hundred thousand silver coins is not a lot for Shen Hao, but it is not a small amount either. It is suitable for Shen Hao to use it to buy a lesson.
The two people opposite were secretly heartbroken. The Chamber of Commerce would not be able to give this money, because it was the recklessness and arrogance of the two of them that led to such a trouble. If they had a better attitude towards the two women, they would not be so timid. So the two of them had to pay for the money in the end. Three hundred thousand silver coins!
Forget it, just think of it as buying a life. After thinking about this, the two of them immediately felt that the money seemed to be well spent.
So after agreeing to the "loan" of 200,000 silver, the two of them did not dare to stay longer. They almost ran out of Shen's Mansion with their respective guards. They did not dare to look back when they went out, even after passing the teleportation The magic circle breathed a long sigh of relief. Maybe in the future they can still use this incident as a show off after dinner: Fortunately, I was clever and escaped from Shen Shaxing with my life.
"Noodles! Sour soup noodles!" As soon as the outsiders left, Shen Hao immediately laughed and tugged Xia Nu's ears, causing her body to become weak for a while and her face to turn red. Then she trotted to the kitchen with her head lowered.
Sour soup noodles, soy sauce pig trotters, and a jar of Wuliangye old wine brewed for five years. Don't make any fancy things, Master Shen just likes these few bites. He hasn't eaten for more than two years, and now he goes home and doesn't gorge himself?
Shen Hao is sitting in the middle, with Yu Qiao on the left, Chu Linxiang on the right, and three fox girls standing behind them. It's easy to say that everything else has not changed much, but the red silk and brocade have changed a lot. The small flowers that originally bloomed have now almost the same charm as a summer girl, with a hint of romance and naughtiness.
The meal lasted for an hour, and I seemed to eat much more than before, including three large basins of sour noodles, more than four pounds of soy pig trotters, and two jugs of old wine.
Now Xia Nu's craftsmanship has been put to use again, including the sauced pig's trotters that Li Erfu considers to be a master but is considered greasy by the women of Shen Mansion. It has also returned to the top of the Shen Mansion!
After eating and drinking, Shen Hao personally gave Pang Ban a note of Thousand Miles of Music to say he was safe. Then he asked Ma Jiufu to go to the Black Flag Camp Commander's Yamen and tell him that he would be on duty tomorrow after returning.
Afterwards, I went to the backyard, made a pot of tea, sat down, hugged Chu Linxiang and Yu Qiao and asked, "Tell me, what happened at home in the past two years?"
