Chapter 8 finally wait until the villain bully
In this way, Shen Shuren couldn't help being surrounded by a group of girls into Chen Yuanyuan's boudoir.

Until he sat down at the mahogany coffee table and the maid poured tea, he still didn't recover.

From the beginning to the end, no one came forward to obstruct or interrogate, not even Chen Yuanyuan's adoptive mother, Mrs. Chen.Obviously, everyone in Lixiangyuan felt it was only right for Shen Shuren to come to Chen Yuanyuan, after all, they had already given a large sum of money for long-term charter.

This situation, on the contrary, made Shen Shuren a little disappointed - he came here today to inquire about the news and the market, not looking for a woman to listen to the music.If the madam is willing to show up, she must have better information than my sister, and maybe it will be more effective to inquire about it.

The boudoir is very large, and it looks like the place where the singing actress lives, and the rest area and the area where guests listen to the music are separated by embroidered curtains.

There is a babu bed in the inner room, a circle of coffee tables and various silk and bamboo orchestral instruments in the outer room, and a large space in the middle, covered with imported velvet blankets, it seems that it is convenient for dancing anytime and anywhere.

Shen Shuren was drinking tea unconsciously in a daze.Half of a delicate face was revealed behind the embroidered curtain, and she took a careful look at it.

Then a delicate girl with weak willows and strong wind came over with a light velvet round fan, with gratitude in her eyes, she sat down next to Shen Shuren, stretched out her hand and squeezed his sleeve.

"Mr. Shen? You've lost weight. You must have suffered a lot since you haven't come here for more than half a month."

Shen Shuren observed quietly.After all, he is a traveler, and he has long been used to seeing beautiful women, so he will not be surprised.

Chen Yuanyuan is indeed a beautiful woman, but by the standards of the 21st century, she is not too handsome.

However, the temperament of a famous opera singer in her body cannot be concealed. It cannot be said to be pure, but it is absolutely elegant.

That kind of feeling is like Miaoyu in the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", which has to be played by a first-class Shaoxing opera/Kunqu opera actress to show this temperament-of course, if it is only about appearance, Chen Yuanyuan is obviously better than the 87 version Yu's actors are much prettier.

After only being absent-minded for a short time, Shen Shuren quickly regained his emotions and responded gracefully: "It's better to be thinner, and it won't be easy to suffer from heat stroke in the future."

When Chen Yuanyuan heard the word "heatstroke", she felt sore: "Mr. Shen said this, and my family felt more and more guilty. Although my family didn't witness what happened that day, after all, your master suffered from heatstroke because of my family's business. There is nothing to repay, but fortunately, it is now safe."

Chen Yuanyuan's mood is very complicated. As a woman who has fallen into the actor's field, even if she has not combed the cage, she will not be shy.Shen Shuren has a heart for her and is sincere in paying a big price to get her out of the sea of ​​suffering. She really wants to express her sincerity openly.

However, Shen Shuren couldn't come up with the money to redeem his body before, obviously there was obstruction in his family, so he had to carry it back due to heatstroke.Therefore, she also has to be considerate of Mr. Shen's difficulties. If the other party doesn't speak, she doesn't hint at it, so as not to hurt face.They just looked at each other with concern and attentiveness in their eyes, and remained silent.

On the other hand, those women who claim to be talented and beautiful have some longing for their future destination.I have fantasized about meeting a good-looking man with both talent and appearance, followed by wealth, character, physique and age.

Chen Yuanyuan still hoped to let nature take its course, if it was not for her to choose such a destination, forget it, and lose my life.

From Chen Yuanyuan's eyes, Shen Shuren could see that he was sincerely concerned, so he roughly guessed the other party's state of mind.

That being the case, he took the initiative to make it clear: "My family is too strict with me, so I can only postpone it. My family is no better than other families. My father didn't expect me to study and take the exam to become an official. He just wanted to wait After a few months of donating to the prison students, I will choose an opportunity to spend money to donate another officer.

Now that I have an official position, it is much easier to discuss marriage with a famous family. My father will not agree to take a concubine before I get married.If you just don't want to be persecuted by your mother, it doesn't matter if I help you delay it for another year or a half.

I brought 2000 taels of silver today, and I can cover your theater for another half a year.I also made it clear that my family blocked me not because of money, but because of my status. "

Shen Shuren is not a stallion man, but since he has returned to ancient times, he will not be ambiguous about the issue of men and women, it is better to be straightforward.

As a person who wants to fight for hegemony in the future and save the nation from peril, the Sangong and Sixth Courtyards are inevitable in the end, so what's the trouble with taking one or two more women?

But now I can't buy Chen Yuanyuan, it's for the great cause, to serve Mr. Yang Ge on a job - he lied to Zheng Hongkui before, saying that one of the important reasons why he couldn't go to Nanjing was that he was greedy for Chen Yuanyuan's beauty and couldn't bear to leave.

If Chen Yuanyuan is bought now, the strategy will no longer work, and at least it will arouse the enemy's more vigilance, which is an extra problem.

Therefore, as long as he can buy it, he will definitely buy it. It can only be delayed for a few months, and everything is absolutely under control.

On the other hand, directly buying Chen Yuanyuan would not be able to promote the case he wanted to design, because he was too high-profile before. Everyone knew that Mr. Shen, the richest man in Suzhou, wanted to compete for Miss Chen. He didn't dare to come and rob him, and all of them retreated, so who else would he turn to for "justifiable defense"?
Therefore, another target must be selected. An outsider who does not know the target he has already set his sights on can quietly start, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, so as to arouse a fight and advance the case.

However, Shen Shuren's excuse further aroused Chen Yuanyuan's hope.

Although Shen Shuren is not perfect, he is willing to pay for you and save you from the sea of ​​suffering. His sincerity has been expressed to this point, and other conditions can be adjusted slowly.

Chen Yuanyuan gritted her teeth, pulled his sleeve and confided mournfully: "Your family is only worried about the issue of status? If that's the case... the slave family can not have the status of concubine, even if it is a year or two to be a maid."

Shen Shuren didn't expect Chen Yuanyuan to be quite sincere, and was a little moved in his heart.However, the cause and strategy cannot be disturbed, he thought of a way, and said very responsibly:

"Since you are so sincere, I can't let you down. But right now I am recuperating from illness, and I will enter the Imperial College in a few months after I recover. It's better to keep a low profile recently. I'll continue with the money for a few months, and wait Once you enter the Imperial College, you will be redeemed immediately.

You know this matter, I know it, don't ask why, just keep it in your heart, anyway, before entering the Imperial College, I don't want to attract attention.If you follow me sincerely, just do everything I tell you.Maybe there will be a turning point at that time, so that you can leave more decently. "

Chen Yuanyuan wanted to ask some more questions, but seeing Shen Shuren's firm eyes, she decided to trust him.

Seeing that he had settled the opponent, Shen Shuren immediately thought of a question:
"By the way, where's your mother? Since we agreed to continue the night show for another half a year, why don't you hand over the money tonight and sign the paperwork, so that you won't suffer here for the next half year. If she plans to break the contract, you can do it at any time." Send someone to inform me, and I will definitely protect you."

Shen Shuren wanted to take the opportunity to find Mrs. Chen, the bustard, and while giving some money to renew the contract, he took advantage of the other party's good mood to collect money, and inquired more about the market.

Chen Yuanyuan laughed when she heard the words: "Mom was also in the courtyard tonight, but when she heard from my sisters that you were coming, she ran away. After you suffered from heatstroke a few days ago, she was worried, lest Mr. Shen would take his anger out on her. Send someone to smash this Pear Fragrance Court. Now I’m afraid you won’t calm down.”

Shen Shuren was taken aback for a moment, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

I'm still too civilized, if I change to another wealthy family, the young master will suffer and suffer here, no matter what happened, he will definitely come here to find a place.

Since Mrs. Chen was not there, Shen Shuren didn't bother to go around anymore. After thinking about it, he decided to talk to Chen Yuanyuan directly about today's topic.

"Yuanyuan, I won't betray you. Don't worry about this, but I still have something to ask, I hope you can help me." Shen Shuren changed the topic very steely and straightforward.

Chen Yuanyuan heard him speak seriously, and guessed that it was probably a question of fearing her jealousy, so she smiled and said: "As long as I can help, I will definitely tell you everything."

Shen Shuren thought about his words: "You have been in Liyuan for a long time, have you heard of any lady from a good family who has to join your line due to the situation?
I don't mean anything else, I just want to accumulate some virtue after a serious illness.I bought it back to serve my stepmother and aunts, and I will never pamper her before I redeem you.I'm really a little bit skeptical about this. "

When Chen Yuanyuan heard this, her heart felt like a huge shock.

Mr. Shen actually asked her to introduce other sisters who were slipping off the edge?Where does this leave her?
After a short period of sadness, she stared at Shen Shuren's eyes for a long time, and only saw solemn and awe-inspiring eyes.

Chen Yuanyuan's heart moved: Mr. Shen has suffered from a serious illness of heatstroke, and he should repay his trust. Maybe there is something else hidden.

She held back her shame, and slowly asked Shen Shuren's request.Shen Shuren also spoke very cautiously, and after a lot of probing, he completely clarified his needs.

"Do you want to find a woman from a good family who is considering whether to sell into this industry, but is still struggling? It is best to buy a few thousand taels, or if the family is in decline and the family property is bought together? It is best Are there other people who are interested in this deal and want to compete?"

Chen Yuanyuan was a little dizzy when she heard it, and felt that there were too many conditions, and it was really difficult to sort out, maybe she really had to wait for her adoptive mother to find out?
However, what Shen Shuren said quietly made her feel more at ease.

Because she judged that Shen Lang should not be for female sex, otherwise such screening conditions would not be opened.I have to be worthy of Shen Lang's trust. After tonight, I can't say a word about this matter, just forget it completely in my stomach.

After being completely united with Shen Shuren, Chen Yuanyuan's thinking became more broadened. After the two secretly plotted together for half an hour, she really thought of a clue.

"Shen Lang, I think of a sister who is the same age as me, only a few months younger than me. She was originally from a local merchant in Kunshan, and her family opened an embroidery shop. But the family was unfortunate. Her father died of illness four years ago, and she did not leave The next son, only orphans and widows depend on each other.

Both mother and daughter can't talk about outside affairs, and they don't know how to manage, so the business is gradually swallowed up by the shopkeeper and steward left behind by their father.

Two years ago, her mother was also seriously ill. She couldn't pay for the medicine, so she secretly found a way to meet me, learned a few musical instruments from me, and went to Nanjing to sing for a few months in private. My mother came back after raising enough money for the medicine.

But more than a year ago, her mother died of a serious illness.Now she is keeping filial piety at home alone, and her family has been wiped out, and the remaining house and village are not even enough to pay off her debts.

She met me a while ago, and I asked her about her plan. She said that the steward left behind by her late father wanted to occupy her house and body, and promised to help her pay off her foreign debts.She thought her mother hadn't passed the filial piety, she didn't want to humiliate the lintel, and refused to obey, so she persuaded the other party to be lenient.

She also discussed with me in private, saying that if she was dissatisfied with keeping her filial piety, she would be forced to leave incognito, pretend to be dead, and go to other places to sell and sing to make a living. At least she would not be called unfilial and humiliated.

If you can agree, after you buy her, you will not touch her for a year and a half, let her continue to live in the ancestral house, and keep her mother's filial piety, then it can be regarded as saving people from fire and water—maybe it is also God's will, It seems that your Shen family owes most of the thousands of taels of foreign debts owed by their family.If you want to buy it, you don’t need to give much money, just pay off the debt directly. "

After Chen Yuanyuan finished speaking, she was filled with emotion.

This is not a coincidence, but the Shen family's business in Suzhou is really big, with more than a hundred large ships selling Suzhou embroidery silk and Songjiang cotton cloth to other places.

As long as there are embroidery shops and weaving and spinning factories in the Susong area, as long as they are not doing well, and owe money for raw materials and advances, most of them will owe money to the Shen family.

After Shen Shuren listened carefully, the more he listened, the more he felt that this case was very suitable for him to handle: the other party hadn't been sold yet, but many people were already eyeing him, and maybe even made a secret decision. transfer".

Therefore, if Shen Shuren didn't disclose his identity, pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger and quietly cut off the beard, the other party would probably not be reconciled, and it would lead to a fight.If Shen Shuren showed weakness again, it would be easier to cause trouble.

In the end, Shen Shuren also has a moral bottom line. He had a few more reluctant opportunities before, but he never made a move. The key is that he feels that the opponent in the competition is also a good person, not evil enough, and he really doesn't want to bully the good.

But in this case, the competitor on the other side was an out-of-this-world traitor.Taking advantage of the employer's death from illness, making false accounts to empty the old owner's business, and bullying orphans and widows.After watching the mistress die of illness, she still wants to invade the mistress.

Even if this kind of black-hearted guy was killed by Shen Shuren's self-defense, he had no moral concerns at all.

"Yuanyuan, you have really helped me a lot! Don't worry, I said I will never let you down. Just pretend that nothing happened. I will come to pick you up in a few months. The 2000 taels can also be paid for." I will protect you for the past few months and will never be forced."

After Shen Shuren figured out the context, he solemnly thanked Chen Yuanyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan nodded silently, and finally reported the answer out of trust: "My sister's name is Dong Bai, and she lives in Dong's Embroidery Village by Yangcheng Lake in the north of Kunshan City."
