Shen Shaozhou appeased Gu Xian, and called Shen Tao to the Xiaohua Hall to talk: "In a few days, we will go to Pingzhou." ”

Shen Tao was taken aback: "Dad, didn't you say that you wouldn't go to Pingzhou?" ”

Shen Shaozhou said with a cold face: "I want to have an accident, do you think you and your daughter-in-law can keep the business?" ”

"There are eighteen guards in the house, sixteen young and strong families, so many people, how many thieves have you let into the house? Forget it, if something like this happens, it's not good to appease people's hearts and protect the house, but to leave your mother and send your wife and children back to their parents' house. ”

"Although Gu Xian is a stepmother, she has always been kind to you two brothers. If something happens, you leave her aside, how do you make those guards and servants in the palace chill? The servants can't leave with a deed of sale, and those guards dare to follow you again when they see you so ruthless and unjust? ”

So as soon as this incident happened, nine guards resigned, and the remaining nine guards stayed because they had received Shen Shaozhou's great favor.

Shen Tao blushed and explained, "Dad, haven't we made a lot of enemies? At that time, she was afraid that those people would come to take revenge, so Pearl thought about taking the official brother back to her parents' house. ”

Shen Shaozhou sneered: "Is the Huo family safe? How was the official brother kidnapped? ”

If Brother Guan'er stayed at home, he would not be kidnapped at all if there was Jingene.

Shen Tao blushed and couldn't speak.

Shen Shaozhou continued: "You said that Jing Ene has a bad attitude towards you? As far as what you husband and wife do, why do you want Jing Ene to give you a good face. ”

The reason why he hired Huo Pearl for Shen Tao was because she was shrewd. And Shen Tao is too loyal, and marrying a shrewd daughter-in-law just makes up for her shortcomings. But he didn't expect that Huo Pearl was really good at business, but his short-sightedness was too small.

Shen Tao smiled bitterly: "Dad, I didn't think about this matter. ”

Shen Shaozhou said: "Ah Tao, you have a few catties and a few taels of your heart. If you listen to your father, you can go to Pingzhou with me, and then you can do some small business, and then we will focus on cultivating good officials. If you don't listen and insist on staying in Pingzhou with your daughter-in-law, I won't stop you. ”

"Dad, do you have to go to Pingzhou?"

Shen Shaozhou nodded and said: "Don't say that the person who hurt me hasn't been caught yet, let's just say that the situation in Fuzhou has become worse and worse in recent years, and business will not be easy to do in the future." ”

There have been cases of rich girls being abducted before, but they are all isolated cases. After all, rich girls are all followed by maids, but now there are several missing, and what is even more exaggerated is that the pirates still can't catch anyone when they touch his family's official mansion.

Of course, the situation is chaotic, some people can make a lot of money, but these people are a minority after all, and most businessmen will lose.

Shen Tao said: "Dad, don't worry, I will convince Pearl." ”

Shen Shaozhou didn't have expectations, and said: "If she doesn't want to go to Pingzhou, don't force it, but Brother Guan'er, I will take it away." ”

This is the eldest grandson. Back then, he didn't care much about the Shen Tao brothers because he took the boat to sea all the year round, and when he freed up his hands to take care of the child's temperament, he couldn't break it.

Shen Tao's complexion changed slightly.

Fu Jingene went out to buy things, and when he came to Fuzhou, he always had to bring some gifts to Qingshu and his classmates. Because he bought a lot of things, he didn't come back until noon

When he arrived at the door of Shen's house, he heard from the porter that Shen Shaozhou had returned.

When he arrived at the main courtyard, he saw that Shen Shaozhou was in good spirits, and Fu Jingene said: "Since my uncle is fine now, I will return to Beijing tomorrow." ”

Shen Shaozhou didn't expect him to rush back so soon, and said, "Let's stay for two more days!" ”

Fu Jingene shook his head and said: "The homework is tight, and the longer the delay, the more homework will be left behind." ”

When it comes to the future, Shen Shaozhou can't stay any longer: "Jing Ene, thanks to you this time, otherwise I don't know when I will be locked up!" ”

Fu Jingene said with a smile: "Grandma said that even if there is no me, when Huo Da comes back, she can clear your grievances." ”

No matter how stupid Huo Pearl is, it is impossible for him to say such a thing in front of him, but he shows it in his actions without saying it.

Shen Shaozhou apologized and said: "The woman is blind, and I ask Jing Ene not to worry about her." ”

Because of his falling out with the Xu family, his eldest brother was also reprimanded by the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion. If you want to help him clear up his grievances, it will definitely take a lot of twists and turns, and it is impossible to be as quick as Fu Jingene.

"She is not a mouse, she is relied on, and the third wife of the Xu family is her aunt."

After speaking, Fu Jingene sneered and said, "This time your matter, I suspect that it is the handiwork of the Xu family. However, time was limited, and I did not find any useful evidence. ”

Shen Shaozhou also had this suspicion and said, "I will send someone to investigate." If it was really instructed by the Xu family, I wouldn't let them have a good time. ”

When he said this, his face was a little fierce.

Fu Jingene said with a smile: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it's better to settle down with his aunt and aunt for now." This time it's a fluke, and I won't be able to save you if I try again. ”

Shen Shaozhou nodded and said, "Wait for two days, and I will take your aunt and official brother to Pingzhou." ”

As for Shen Tao and his wife, if they want to go with Shen Zhan, if they don't want to go, he won't be reluctant. The cow doesn't drink water and presses it, and it's not interesting.

"I have already bought a house there and 500 acres of fertile land, and I will open a small shop when I get to Pingzhou. Ah Tao doesn't have any great talent, so it's no problem to take care of the good land in the shop. ”

Fu Jingene was not interested in his arrangement, and he said another thing to Shen Shaozhou: "There are two things that are very strange about Brother Guan'er's kidnapping this time. First, how did the kidnappers take the official brother out of the Huo Mansion without being discovered by the subordinates and the porter in the mansion; The second kidnapper demanded a ransom of 100,000 taels, and Shen Tao happened to scrape together 100,000 taels of silver the day before the kidnapping. ”

Shen Shaozhou's face changed slightly, it seems that there is something inside to the kidnapping of Brother Guan'er: "I will find out about this matter." ”

Tan Xing said outside: "Master, uncle, the meal is ready, Mrs. invites you to come over for dinner." ”

Fu Jingene shook his head and said, "No need, just send the food directly to my yard." ”

He was not far away to eat with Gu Xian. The more indifferent his attitude is, the more scruples Gu Xian will be in the future. If you want them to help you in the future, you have to think about it first.

Shen Shaozhou was a little regretful, and originally wanted to have a good chat with Fu Jingene after drinking two glasses. But looking at his attitude, Shen Shaozhou could only dispel this thought.

After entering the house, Shen Shaozhou said to Gu Xian: "Jing Ene said that he would return to Beijing a long time ago, and you wrote two letters for him to take back." ”

"It's not convenient for you to write a letter like this now, I'll ghostwrite it for you!"

Gu Xian was stunned, but quickly helped explain: "This kid is going to end in May next year, and it has been delayed for so long. If you want to stay any longer, I am afraid that the gentlemen of the academy will have opinions. ”

Shen Shaozhou smiled: "Of course I know this." ”

After lunch, Fu Jingene went to Zhuo's house to say goodbye. Normally, he should have handed over the prayer post, but he had to leave early tomorrow morning and couldn't wait.

When Mrs. Zhuo heard that he would go back tomorrow morning, she nodded and said, "You have been delayed for more than a month, so you have to go back quickly." Jing Ene, if you have something to deal with in the future, you won't run outside. ”

If this is her son, how can he agree to such nonsense! Ahem, it's not okay if you don't have an elder to look at it.

Fu Jingene said with a smile: "Aunt, don't worry, this time is also a special situation. When I go back, I will prepare for the exam with peace of mind. ”
