Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 101
Back at the inn, Jin'er and Yu'er hurried up to greet them, and they were relieved when they learned that His Highness and the princes were fine.

On the second day, Shen Qiancheng waited at the inn early and said that he would personally invite Zhu Biao to Shen's house for a banquet tonight.

Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, and after changing clothes and washing, arranged for Zhu Di to take care of Zhu Xi and Zhu Yan and rest at the inn.

He took Muying and a few soldiers to Shen's house.

The Shen family's mansion is located in a manor in the Suzhou Creek. This mansion is Shen Qiancheng's ancestral home. It covers an area of ​​nearly several hectares, and some decorations are in the style of the Yuan Dynasty.

Although there are some differences between Yiqing at this time and later generations, it should not be underestimated.

The house is divided into front yard and back yard, east and west across the yard, and the two words on the entrance alone are also handwritten by famous masters.

Zhu Biao took a look, if the Shen family's things were taken to restore the north, it would not be difficult for the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

The Shen family's mansion is basically a garden building in the south of the Yangtze River, with strangely shaped rockeries, corridors, white stone pavement, and connected houses on both sides.

Halfway through Zhu Biao's courtyard, Shen Qiancheng called all the maids and servants in the mansion over to serve him at any time.

"Please, Mr. Ma." Shen Qiancheng led the way.

When he was away from home, Zhu Biao would always use Empress Ma's surname as his address.

After half a stick of incense, a fish pond appeared in front of Zhu Biao. The water in it was clear and flowing, obviously running water.

Zhu Biao took Mu Ying with him, and the soldiers behind him were all soldiers in fishing uniforms.

The buildings in the south of the Yangtze River are winding and narrow. The corridors and walls are the same color, and winter flowers and plants are placed on both sides.

There is a small bridge over the artificial river. Going forward, there is a bamboo forest.

The bamboo is neatly trimmed, and the several welcoming pine trees are unique in shape, and you can tell they are top-grade at a glance.

Entering the lobby, the room is warm and dry.

On both sides, there are large pots of peonies as thick as the mouth of a bowl. They have not bloomed and their leaves are very green.

Several women floated over, looked at Zhu Biao curiously, and then smiled sweetly at Shen Qiancheng: "Daddy."

Zhu Biao didn't see Shen Zhiwu, these should be born of Shen Qiancheng's concubine, because they are not very old and delicate.

Sure enough, three aunts appeared behind them, and they smiled at Shen Qiancheng, "Master~"

When he was on the boat, he didn't know if he had mentioned anything about the Shen family. The three aunts all had daughters, and the three wives gave birth to sons, but he died of smallpox early.

After her mother passed away, she was taught by Mrs. Shen.

Shen Qiancheng smiled at Zhu Biao, waved to his three daughters and said, "Come here and meet Mr. Ma."

The three ladies smiled happily, and their looks belonged to the middle class.This is not surprising, because they look very much like their mothers.

Shen knows whether she looks like her mother who died with her.

The three young ladies looked at Zhu Biao again, as if they were looking at who this Mr. Ma was.

But he still said in a polite and soft voice: "I have seen Mr. Ma."

Zhu Biao didn't want to look at these women, he just wanted to see who Shen Zhifu's grandfather was.

"Ah."

Zhu Biao just nodded coldly.

Shen Qiancheng smiled and said: "Do you know that I am in another courtyard with my mother. I will take Mr. Ma there tomorrow."

Seeing that Zhu Biao was not interested in any of his daughters, Shen Qiancheng ordered people to prepare a banquet for Zhu Biao immediately.

Zhu Biao was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, Mu Ying lowered her head and said, "This Shen family is really rich in Suzhou."

"Well, more than the national treasury." Zhu Biao responded in a low voice and continued drinking tea.

Shen Qiancheng's wives only thought Zhu Biao was a businessman, and they talked with Zhu Biao in the main room.

"My lord, that girl is back this time, is she busy with so many shops in her hand, can't I leave the one in Suzhou to Rulan and the others to take care of it?"

"Yes, master, my sister is right. Our Shen family is not alone. The 48 shops in her hands make a lot of money every year."

"Strange concubine, my poor son died early, otherwise..."

The three ladies competed to say.

Shen Qiancheng's originally warm smile gradually disappeared, and he said:
"You want Rulan and the others to take over the stores in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Nanjing?

These are all made by herself, and the stewards and chambers of commerce in the three cities only obey her. Rulan and the other three sisters can't hold those old foxes.

I have been managing the area in the north of Shandong for the past few years. If Rulan and the others are going to go, I will take them to the north. "Shen Qiancheng said.

The youngest concubine said: "Master, your good daughter must be for those bosses who are in charge. She played a trick of seductiveness at night..."

"Father, the north is so chaotic, so many account books are a headache, running around day and night. Why don't you bear it, Daddy." Several daughters shook Shen Qiancheng.

"Shut up, I don't know if you can help me take care of these things. How can you eat and drink spicy food. We will discuss this matter after the fact. I have a guest today, so don't embarrass me." Shen Qiancheng's voice lowered.

……

Although the voice was low, it still reached Mu Ying's ears.

"Miss Shen can't be like that. What a foxy girl, it's too ugly." Muying said angrily.

"Whether she is innocent or not, Gu naturally knows, why bother with women."

Zhu Biao put down his teacup, the aunts of the Shen family are really gossips.

The shops in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Nanjing are now the most prosperous areas.There is no war, and it has begun to recover in the past few years.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and intrigue is indispensable.

When having dinner in the evening, Shen Qiancheng put out 95 dishes, which meant ninety-five supreme.

The three aunts and their daughters did not shy away from it, and directly sat on the other side.

Shen Qiancheng arranged for Zhu Biao to be the top seat, and Mu Ying was next to him.

Shen Zhiwu also came later, walked to the table to pay respects, and then sat down with the three of them at the same time.

After the meal was over, Shen Qiancheng warned the ladies that it was a distinguished guest.

The aunts thought that Zhu Biao was the son of a wealthy businessman, who asked their daughter to bring tea and snacks, and they were busy all the time.

Shen didn't know whether to bring the fruit, but was bumped by Shen Qiancheng's aunt and fell to the ground.

"Yeah. Do you know, Auntie didn't do it on purpose. A broken plate is unlucky."

Shen Zhishi got up and said: "Haven't Auntie heard that Sui Sui is safe, don't lose face."

Shen Qiancheng said that he was going to prepare food and vegetables for tomorrow, so he asked Shen if he would entertain him.

Zhu Biao didn't care what happened to the aunts next to him, and said to Shen Zhiwu, "You follow me."

The two went to the bamboo forest pavilion, and Mu Ying led a few other people in the distance.

"This time, I just want to meet your grandmother." Zhu Biao said directly.

"Tonight I will tell my grandmother that His Highness will be resting in the Shen Mansion today." Shen Zhi lowered his eyelids and said, "The aunt at home made His Highness laugh."

"No problem." Zhu Biao said.

"By the way, Your Highness, the cooks of the Shen family will prepare the meals for the princes, and everything will be like in the palace. Please don't worry about them, Your Highness.

The aunts in the family are very thoughtful, do you know that it is most appropriate for the princes to be in the inn, lest the aunts and the others have other troubles. "

For her, when doing business, she is fluent in all aspects, and she can even guess people's minds thoroughly.

But when it came to Zhu Biao, she always didn't dare to guess, she just regarded it as someone she liked.

"You are always the most thoughtful and sensible." Zhu Biao said looking at her.

"If I see grandma, she will definitely guess about me and His Highness." Shen Zhi thought for a while and said: "I didn't tell my father, I'm afraid he will find out later.

Grandmother has a weird personality, if she mentions grandfather tomorrow, if she has conflicts, please don't get angry, Your Highness. "

Zhu Biao nodded, everything will be revealed tomorrow.
