Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 79
The army returned victorious, and the city was full of joy.

The shop is already open, children are playing and running, and the weather is cool.On the second floor of Shen's grain shop, there were three cups of hot tea on the table.

Shen Qiancheng picked up the tea and said, "Go back to my hometown in Suzhou during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with my mother. I have only arrived in the capital not long ago, what orders does Your Highness have today?"

"Boss Shen, I'm here alone today. I want to get some jars of wine from the winery." Zhu Biao cut to the chase.

When Zhu Biao took Mu Ying and Zhu Di to Shen's house, he happened to meet Shen Qiancheng, who was checking accounts at the entrance of Shen's grain store, and went upstairs to sit down.

"Do you know that girl was too busy in the winery last night and didn't come back. I'll ask her to prepare it for His Highness later."

Zhu Di followed today, and Shen Qiancheng also guessed that his identity was unusual.

But His Highness didn't take the initiative to say so, so he pretended not to know, but the proper etiquette and hospitality were very appropriate.

Shen Qiancheng is gentle and refined. Not only is he good at business, he is also very knowledgeable and has a good temper.

"How's the business in the north?" Zhu Biao asked as he put down his teacup.

"...In the north, the business is naturally not as good as in the south of the Yangtze River. These years, the war has been turbulent, and the goods shipped will be robbed. The life of the people is also difficult. It's really pitiful."

"The north will be as prosperous as the south of the Yangtze River, and the Yuan thieves will be wiped out completely, and the world will be stable." Zhu Di's blood boiled with enthusiasm.

"Yes, yes, I also heard about the triumphant return of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and it will get better soon." Shen Qiancheng followed Zhu Di's words.

"Boss Shen's father must be a strange man, he has business everywhere." Zhu Biao mentioned Shen Qiancheng's father.

"Father?" Shen Qiancheng was slightly sad: "Don't dare to hide it from His Highness, he told me when I was very young that a good business life is the only way to live freely, and his business is bigger than mine.

The senior officials of the former court often approached him, but he refused all of them, so he devoted himself to business. "

"Isn't it good to be an official?" Zhu Di felt that he really didn't understand Shen Qiancheng's father's logic.

"He said he was a Han Chinese and would never serve the Yuan court. He lived in Jiangnan for my mother and died later."

While talking, several merchants who bought grain came to Shen Qiancheng.Zhu Biao couldn't ask any more questions, saying that he went to the wine shop to get wine.

Naturally, Shen Qiancheng did not dare to slack off, and ordered his cronies to take Zhu Biao to the winery, but Shen Zhibu was not there.

Zhu Di and Mu Ying obediently followed Zhu Biao to the wine shop.

The store is located in a good location in the capital, and the decoration style is simple. There is a wooden cart with wine parked in front of the store, which is obviously sold.

Shen Zhishi is still wearing a beautiful dress, which is beautiful and fits well. She walks around in the shop with many customers, and her voice can be heard.

"...The Li family in the east of the city is a regular customer. The twenty altars they want will be delivered first, and they will be told not to pay on credit. Well, the thirty altars will be put in the backyard first. Tomorrow, Wang Yuanwai's daughter will have a full moon."

"Xiao Lian, why do you have such a strange expression..."

Shen knew whether to turn around.Seeing Zhu Biao standing at the door, his eyes became like crescent moons.

……

Zhu Di was taken by Mu Ying to hang out with Xiao Lian, and followed Zhu Biao not far or near.

"Every time you come here, you are busy with Wuliang Xuequ, so don't affect the business of other shops."

"I also thought, wait until the end of the year to invite people to perform propaganda."

Whether Shen Zhiwa was next to him or not, the two of them were talking in bits and pieces, and Zhu Biao didn't know how to talk about his marriage.

"The army returned triumphantly, why did His Highness run out?" Shen Zhifu put his hands on his waist and said in a low voice.

"Help Gu prepare some wine for the celebration banquet."

"it is good."

Seeing her staring at the candied haws, Zhu Biao went over and bought two and handed them to her.

"This...I..."

After some excuses, she happily picked it up.

Facts have proved that as long as women cannot escape the temptation of sweetness, they all have a girlish side.

"It's inconvenient to eat on weekdays...Your Highness is so strange today, what's the matter?" Shen Zhiwu pinched the candied haws with his pretty white fingers.

"No."

Back at Shen's house, Shen Zhiwu's hands were covered with sticky sugar, and asked Xiaolian to serve Mu Ying and Zhu Di with tea, and she went to the boudoir to wash her hands.

Rationally, he wouldn't follow, but with that matter in mind, he walked to her door unknowingly.

There were only two of them at the moment, Shen Zhishi pushed open the door and said with a smile: "Come in, this is not the first time."

"Yeah." Zhu Biao nodded.

Shen Zhihe took out the white substance from the carton and daubed it on his hands, then began to wash.

When Zhu Biao saw that thing, he grabbed her hand and said, "What is this?"

"Soap." Shen Zhi could not pull out his hand, and said, "Your Highness."

"Where did it come from?" Zhu Biao suppressed the doubts in his heart, checked the soap calmly, and was sure.

"Grandmother made it, which was taught to her by grandfather back then. If His Highness likes it, I have another piece here, which my father brought over from Suzhou."

Zhu Biao's blood boiled, this soap must have been made by a time traveler, and so must the Shen family's potatoes.

If her grandfather had gone to sea, would he be earlier than Columbus? Navigator No.1 is not a foreigner.

Zhu Biao's mouth was dry, and he waited patiently for Shen to know if he had washed up, and asked, "Where is your grandfather now? Boss Shen said he is no longer alive."

"Grandfather..." Shen knew that he couldn't lie to Zhu Biao, so he said, "Grandmother said that when my father was very young, my grandfather disappeared on a rainy night with lightning and thunder. Nothing to say.

But my grandmother would make some soap for us every year on that day,"

"Perfume? What was your grandfather's name?"

"Shen Yi."

The rainy night with lightning and thunder disappeared, and he must have worn it back. It seems that he must have made the potatoes.

"Your Highness, grandma won't let me tell anyone about it. Her house contains things from my grandfather's life. It's like a taboo."

"What if your grandfather is still alive?" Zhu Biao thought, if he was still alive, he could ask him if he had been to sea.

"No, I'm sure." Shen Zhi was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with you, Your Highness?"

Zhu Biao calmed down and said, "I have nothing to do, I will keep it secret for you."

Shen Zhiwu's grandfather was a time-traveler, and he definitely went back through time.

But Zhu Biao didn't dare to try the thunder and lightning incident, besides, he couldn't bear to part with Daming either.

The Shen family's ancestral house in Suzhou, will her grandfather leave anything behind? You can go and see after the celebration banquet is over.

"I also heard about the fact that His Highness came out of the city to welcome you yesterday." Shen Zhiwen walked over to help Zhu Biao pour tea.

"Well, it's Gu's fourth younger brother who came with me today, and my father will give him and me a marriage after the celebration banquet."

"It's a good thing." Shen Zhishi's hand for pouring tea froze in the air, and he didn't know where to put the teapot, so he went to the window and squeezed the leaves with his hands.

Originally, I wanted to feed the silkworms, but found that what I was holding was not a mulberry leaf. The process was slow and difficult.

She took a deep breath, walked back with a smile, and said to Zhu Biao, "Then His Highness must be very busy."

"No, the gift of marriage is just a matter of finalizing it first. Besides, the second and third younger brothers who are lonely are not yet married, so naturally the fourth younger brother will not get married so soon."

Shen Zhishi nodded. She has been tempered in the business field since she was a child, and her disposition is still very good, but she is still a little sad.

"You don't ask Gu, who is she?"

"It doesn't matter who you are, the important thing is that you can help His Highness relieve his worries and share the burden. His Highness is not an ordinary person, and there will be more noble daughters in the future. If you know it's impossible to stop them, you can't stop them."

Did Shen know that such a day would come? He had read history books since he was a child, and he also knew about the marriage between the royal families.

She is lonely and envious.I envy the person who can take care of the daily life and food of His Royal Highness, and accompany him day and night.

"Gu will not treat you badly, nor will he abandon you."

"I know, it's good for Zhiwu to take care of business every day, and occasionally... to see His Highness, that's enough."

There is no such freedom inside the palace walls, there is not so much joy, it may not be suitable for you, not greedy, it is good.

Being able to take the initiative to tell her that she already knows what kind of person His Highness is, and he will not abandon her, is very satisfying.
