After finally returning to the capital, the second room was very careful in the first few days, changing ways every day to make Mrs. Shen happy, and being extra polite to the people in the first room. The old lady was also happy to see it. Later, seeing that Erfang was in distress, she also sent a lot of money. Shen Jingshu did not slack off at all, food and clothing were no different from before, and Erfang's heart was settled. It started to come alive.
"Mother, it's been a few days since I've been back, and I've almost gotten used to it. It's just that I don't have an official position or income, so it's not good to always let my elder brother take care of me?" Massage is for shopping, Shen Wenhua said his purpose at this time, Mrs. Shen also felt the same, but Shen Wenli just came back, and everything should not be rushed, "You don't have to worry about this, I have already told the boss Having said that, you can live well, and the family does not lack your food money."
"Although that's what I said, mother, I don't want to eat and drink for nothing at home. After all, I am a person with sound limbs. If people know that I just eat for free at home like this, what should I do?" Shen Wenli said rarely. With such words, Mrs. Shen thought about Shen Wenli's filial piety and understanding these days, and also felt that her son had really reformed himself now, "But you won't be able to become an official now, what should you do?"
"Mother, there is our shop in Kyoto, why don't you let me run the shop? I'm white now, and I won't be able to be a family in this life. It's a bit of money to manage a shop, so I don't always have to rely on my elder brother. After all, my elder brother It's not easy, I'm a big family, it's not easy to let the big brother take care of me? I'm still young, but when I grow up? And Ya'er, she is like this now, she has to spend money everywhere... " Sighing, these words were discussed by Shen Wenli and Guo Yuanshuang in the past few days. Although they returned to the capital, it would be a good thing for Shen Wenhua to take care of them. But both of them are restless masters, how could they really just live under the fence like this, watching people's faces everywhere
It's okay that Mrs. Shen is still here now, but they have separated. What if Mrs. Shen goes away one day, what will they do
So, they have to think about themselves no matter what. While Mrs. Shen is still in good health, she can make more money, that is, so that Shen Wenhua will not ignore them in the future.
"This is impossible!" Mrs. Shen directly refused without thinking. After all, they are from a scholarly family, how can the children of the family go into business? Wouldn't it be a joke by then
"Mother, why not?" Shen Wenli saw it now. Being in business is richer and easier than being an official, so he doesn't understand why Mrs. Shen objected
"You used to be an official, how could you do such lowly things as merchants?" Mrs. Shen still has a strong sense of family status. If her son goes into business, she would rather raise her son all the time, so as not to be laughed at by others. .
"Mother, that's also my shop, why is it so low? This is a family with a little background, who doesn't have a shop? I can't be an official now, so is it possible that I can't even run a shop?" My heart was also a little angry Well, he is short of money right now, he went to gamble secretly yesterday, and there is not much money left from Mrs. Shen's gift. It was also because of this matter that he knew that he had to make money, otherwise he would always ask Mrs. Shen for money, and Mrs. Shen would definitely be suspicious! It will be hard to say when the time comes!
"That's not what you said. Although the shop belongs to us, we just leave it to the servants to take care of it. How can there be any reason for you to take care of it yourself? Don't forget, you are the second master of the Shen family now. Wouldn't it be a joke if people knew about it?" The dignified scholarly family, but they did those things, people who didn't know thought they were taking advantage of money, what would others say then
Mrs. Shen will not agree to this!
"Mother, it's okay if I don't let others know? I'll go and have a look, and then take care of the accounts. Mother, do you want your son to be unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life?" Last night because of losing money, he and Guo Yuanshuang had another quarrel After a fight, the husband and wife reached an agreement that they must make money by themselves, and it is better to keep the money in their hands. They also discussed it immediately, and Mrs. Shen must agree to this matter no matter what. And it's better to have more shops. When they have been in business for a long time, they will find a way to become their own. In the future, even if the old lady goes, they will have a few shops, so that they will not have no money.
"You can do other things, but this one, no!"
"Other things? Mother, what can I do like this? I was dismissed by the emperor. Which department do you think dares to have a son? Even the eldest brother can't do it. Isn't it embarrassing for the elder brother like this?" For Shen Wenhua's sake, Shen Wenli's was naturally for his own sake, but this really moved Mrs. Shen, "Then there are other things, but business is not enough."
"Mother..." Seeing Mrs. Shen's firm attitude, although Shen Wenli and Guo Yuanshuang expected it, they never expected Mrs. Shen's objection, and they were a little angry at the moment, but they didn't dare to be like before, so they had to endure it and planned to go back to discuss it with Guo Yuanshuang. I'll talk about it later.
…
"Well, mother agreed?"
"As you said, my mother didn't agree. She still hopes that my elder brother can help me find an official position."
"How can this be done? Eldest brother won't agree." Shen Wenhua was surprised that Shen Wenhua would agree when Shen Wenli made such a big mess at the beginning. "Have you told your mother? About elder brother's difficulties?"
"Why didn't I say it? But my mother still didn't agree." Shen Wenli was also a little annoyed at the moment, he didn't want to care about those identities or anything, he just wanted money so that he could live happily.
"It seems that mother still pays too much attention to family status. We have to think about this matter carefully. Why don't you go and talk to big brother. I'm afraid it's easier to talk to big brother."
"Eldest brother just agrees, and it's okay if mother doesn't agree, and I don't think elder brother will necessarily agree. Don't forget, what did you do back then, will eldest brother believe me?"
"Master, you also have a part in that matter." Guo Yuanshuang was very uncomfortable every time Shen Wenli used this matter to block her, but looking at Shen Wenli's eyes that wanted to eat her, Guo Yuanshuang thought of what he had encountered in the past six months , and immediately changed his words, "Hehe, master, it's the concubine's fault, it's the concubine's fault, but now is not the time to talk about this, we have to find a way to get mother to give us those shops, so that we won't always It’s about looking at the faces of the eldest brother and the others. Master, you don’t want to, do you?”
"Of course I don't want to. It's just that my mother thinks that we are from a scholarly family. If I do those things, it will damage my reputation. If I refuse to agree, what can I do?" Shen Wenli was also very helpless. He didn't care about his status and was willing to manage the shop. Oh, mother, what's the matter? Can fame be eaten? In the past six months, he has deeply realized the importance of money, and this time he will never give up.
"What the master said is very true, how about this, at dinner later, the master will bring it up in front of everyone, and the eldest brother and the others will be there at that time, so it is just a good time to test the meaning of the eldest brother."
"You're right. Everyone is here. My mother may be concerned about my face and won't refuse directly. In this way, I will have a chance? You are smart!" Although this daughter-in-law is sometimes too greedy and petty , but I have to admit that in some aspects, it can indeed give him a lot of ideas.
"Isn't this concubine for our future? Now that Ya'er is like this, she will definitely have a lot of money in the future, and Qi Ge'er, when she grows up in the future, she will also need money to marry a daughter-in-law. Do you have to rely on the big house and see the big house?" face?"
"You are right. I have been oppressed by my elder brother since I was a child. I don't want to continue to be oppressed in the future. What's more, my elder brother has been dissatisfied with me for a long time. Now that my mother is still there, my elder brother may still take care of me, but what if my mother Go, big brother might just throw his hands away and deny anyone, I have to plan for myself too!"
"That's true. The eldest brother and sister-in-law also have children, and these years, the eldest brother has not been close to us. It is better to control everything in our own hands. Now that we have separated, no one knows whether the eldest brother will take care of us in the future. We have to figure it out ourselves!"
"Well, at dinner later, if everyone is here, you have to cooperate with me. You have to set up several shops anyway!"
"Yes, what the master said is very true!"
…
The husband and wife were very consistent in fighting against the big house, and they discussed their arguments right away. When it was time for dinner, Guo Yuanshuang and Shen Wenli filially helped Mrs. Shen to eat. The family sat, and Mrs. Shen watched Looking at the people of Erfang's family, they were also very happy, "Okay, let's all eat!"
"Yes, mother (grandmother)!" The Shen family always pays attention to not talking when eating or sleeping, and the dinner table is very quiet, but when the meal is over, the family sits and talks together. Shen Wenli and Guo Yuanshuang look at each other. Shen Wenli said, "Brother, thank you for taking care of me these days. I used to be the one who felt sorry for Big Brother, but now Big Brother doesn't care about past suspicions. As a younger brother, I really feel guilty!" Anyone, as long as he is willing, will definitely be able to do it.
"Second brother, there is no need to talk about these between brothers, just be a good person in the future." Shen Wenli's recent attitude is indeed very good, and Shen Wenhua is also very satisfied with it.
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely reform myself in the future, and I won't worry my mother and elder brother anymore."
"Well, I'm glad you can think so!"
"By the way, big brother, it's been a while since I've been back. These days, big brother Lao takes care of me. I'm very touched. But I also know that it's not easy for big brother to support this family. Now that we have separated, I always It’s not easy to eat and live for free, isn’t it?” It’s rare for Shen Wenli to have such a heart, Shen Wenhua was a little surprised, but didn’t interrupt, “So what?”
"I mentioned it to my mother today. I want to earn some money with my own ability to support the people in my house."
"This is a good thing!" Shen Wenli is willing to work hard, Shen Wenhua is of course happy, he still doesn't really hope that his younger brother will really be an idler at home, not caring about anything.
"But mother, she, the old man, doesn't agree..." She carefully glanced at Mrs. Shen, and sure enough, her face changed when she saw Mrs. Shen. Shen Wenli gave Guo Yuanshuang a look. Guo Yuanshuang hurriedly smiled, and went over to beat Mrs. Back, "Mother, don't be angry, master also doesn't want to be a idler who eats and lives for free, after all, master is a man of seven feet, if you always rely on your elder brother and let outsiders know, what can you say about master?" Old madam, it's good to talk about this matter now, anyway, their second room in this shop is about to be booked, otherwise what will they do in the future
"Yeah, mom, my elder brother and sister-in-law are all here now, and I also expressed my thoughts. I used to be an asshole and did a lot of wrong things. Now I realize my mistakes and want to make up for them. Mother, you always give me Take this opportunity!"
"Yes, mother, the master really wants to do his part, wants to support this family, and hopes that mother can give the master a chance!"
"But what is it like to let him manage the shop?" My son is a scholar, and the integrity of a scholar cannot be humiliated casually.
What's more, their Shen family is not short of money, so why go out and make people laugh
"Mother, tell me, what else can I do besides helping out in the shop? Can I still be an official? The thing is that my elder brother is willing to help, and I don't want my elder brother to offend others because of me and get a bad reputation. "It's rare to be reasonable, Mrs. Shen was almost moved when she saw her second son's sincerity.
"Mother, the master really wants to support the family with his own strength, and it's the family's shop, so it's okay for the master to help out. The big deal is to keep others from knowing, mother, just promise the master!"
"Mother, please give your son a chance to reform himself!"
"This..." Seeing that the Erfang family is so determined, Mrs. Shen rarely sees Shen Wenli like this, and she hesitates in her heart. She glanced at Shen Wenhua, but Shen Wenhua did not expect Shen Wenli to go around in such a big circle. It was the idea of making a shop, and I couldn't tell how I felt about this son. Seeing Mrs. Shen looking over at this moment, Shen Wenhua was also a little angry, so he didn't say anything at all.
It wasn't that he was stingy, it was just that when the family was separated, Mrs. Shen herself posted a lot. He thought that he didn't treat this second brother badly, and he gave everything he could. The shop in the capital is owned by their first room, and the second room has had a bad time these years, he sympathizes, but this is not the other party's idea to use this shop.
Although Shen Wenli performed very well these days, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. Shen Wenhua still has a wait-and-see attitude towards Shen Wenli. Looking at Shen Wenli's plan now, it is definitely impossible for him to believe that.
Mrs. Shen originally expected the eldest son to speak, but seeing that Shen Wenhua and the others did not intend to speak, and finally saw the earnest look of the second son, after all, he did not have the heart to refuse, "Let me think about this matter carefully." She can't ignore her opinion, the boss has treated her well in the past six months, and she also knows that the child is filial, so she can't always chill that child's heart.
"Mother, is it true? Did you really agree?" He misinterpreted the meaning of Mrs. Shen directly, and said in front of everyone that he just wanted to get Mrs. Shen's approval, and it would be difficult for Shen Wenhua to be in front of Mrs. Shen at that time. face objected.
"Let me think about it, well, this matter will stop here, and I will tell you when I think about it!"
"Okay, mother, thank you mother, thank you mother, I will definitely do a good job in the future, and will not disappoint my mother and elder brother!" Immediately became happy, as if Mrs. Shen had agreed, Shen Wenli and Guo Yuanshuang looked at each other and smiled , you know, this trick works!
…
Because Mrs. Shen's attitude softened, then Shen Wenli and Guo Yuanshuang were very happy and kept talking. On the contrary, Dafang didn't say anything. In the end, Shan Banyan found an excuse to say that he was tired and left, and Shen Jingshu followed Go, when the few people left, Shen Jingshu saw that her parents' expressions were not very good, and she also knew that her parents were worried that Mrs. Shen was eccentric, and it would be difficult to refuse at that time, so Shen Jingshu simply pointed out at this moment, "Father, mother, if grandma Promise to let the second uncle go to the shop, so you just agree!" Anyway, even if the other party doesn't plan to go, she will find a way to let the other party get in touch with these things. Shen Wenli is now obsessed with gambling, and this is his fatal weakness. concubine…
This time, she must make the second room completely unable to turn over!
"Shu'er, you..." Shen Wenhua and Shan Yuerong were a little surprised when they didn't expect their daughter to agree so simply.
"Father, mother, grandma treats us very well now. We can't hurt grandma's heart just because of such a small matter. Now that grandma loves the person in the second room, even if dad doesn't agree, grandma will definitely insist. It's better to agree, so as not to hurt each other's friendship." Shen Wenli can go to the shop, and then she will let Mrs. Shen see if this so-called second son has really changed!
"Shu'er, do you also think we should agree?" Although she was surprised by her daughter's words, since her daughter said so, it must be reasonable.
"Father, it's just a shop." That's right, it's just a shop, but it's a bargaining chip that can make Er Fang completely unable to turn over, and she's willing to spend the money!
"What you said is, well, if mother agrees, I won't refuse!" Although she didn't know what her daughter was going to do, she had a sense of propriety since she was a child, and what she said just now made sense, so Shen Wenhua naturally wouldn't object.
"Thank you daddy!" Isn't she lucky to have such parents? Doting on her since she was a child, giving her such a carefree growth, giving her so much love, and now trusting her unconditionally, she is really lucky in three lives!
"You child, come on, no matter what you want to do, remember, parents will always support you!"
"good!"
