After leaving Fengzui Garden and returning to Shen's Mansion, Shen Bai thought about Shu Yu's matter, should he inform Qin Yu and Jia Shiqing that he should not come to Shen's Mansion to discuss things for the time being.

I felt that it was still necessary to do this, so I called Xiao Yan and asked him to notify the two of them. If there was anything to do in the future, I would have someone notify me. It would be better to go to a teahouse or a bookstore to talk.

Here Shen Bai decided to shrink his hands and feet and deal with it in a low-key manner.

On the other side, the court hall in Bianjing City was like an earthquake.

"You keep talking about it every day, you want me to have a rich harem, now it's good, the draft has just started, and some people have started to insert their hands into the harem, I can't even stay in this house, is this country still a king's land?" The person on the dragon seat Looking down, Shu Yu, the inspector in front of the palace, stood in front of the palace gate with a sword in his hand, listening to the emperor's questioning without anger.

In the court hall, the former inspector in front of the hall and Qingzhou General Soldier knelt on the ground.

The murder case of a beautiful girl in the harem led to matters against Shen Bai, which seemed to be calm, but under Shu Yu's investigation, such a result came out.

First, it was an explanation to Concubine Shen Gui, and second, the emperor was furious, so all the beautiful women who entered the palace were sent home and no longer drafted.

In the third time, Shu Yu was transferred from the command envoy of the six guards of the three towns to the inspector in front of the hall, and the imperial guards in the Great Inner Army completely fell into his hands.

When Shen Bai heard the news, the palace people who were rewarded by the palace stood in the front hall, and everyone in Shen's family knelt down to receive the reward.

The father-in-law who came to present the reward was surnamed Wang, half head of white hair, the white hair at the temples hanging on both sides of the face, his expression was a bit unpredictable, if he was not an eunuch, he looked like a hermit in the world.

"The emperor's rewards are all here. In addition, the Nanpu Pearl that was rewarded last time was given a box, so I also rewarded it. Mr. Shen, let's take a look." He opened a small mahogany box, and inside it was a complete combination. big seashells.

"What do you think of this, my lord?" Eunuch Wang asked.

"Thank you for the emperor's instruction, Shen Bai must be cautious in his words and deeds." Shen Bai received the box with a salute.

A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Gonggong's mouth: "Get up, the presents are all put down by Mr. Shen."

Shen Bai stood up, and Zhao Pu sent a box.

"This is the tea I bought in the south. It tastes very good. I will give it to my father-in-law." Zhao Pufan opened the box, and inside was a pure gold vase with the packed tea leaves in the lid. "

"Mr. Shen has a heart!" Eunuch Wang flicked the whisk in his hand, and a little eunuch behind him stepped forward to take the box.

In the study, Xu Jin sat on the table of the Eight Immortals, looked at the shells in the box, and tsk-tsk: "It's really stingy, it's a good thing to reward some gold, silver and jade wares from Neizaofu, but it's a shame to give away such an empty shell. Is it pretending to be deep?"

Xu Jin didn't go to the front to receive the reward, but sat and played with the shells in the wooden box, commenting with great interest.

"No matter what, we will go at our own pace. This city of Bianjing is now entangled with many forces. It is not easy to be independent, but it is not difficult to maintain a certain degree of neutrality. If it works, use it. If it is true If you can't, just pretend to be far away from the mundane world, and you want to become a fairy." Shen Bai said comfortably while drinking the warm tea in the teacup.

"You can think about it, but you are just talking about it. While preparing, you are still waiting for the lightning to strike. You are now a pillar on the road. If you don't want to be hit by a carriage, you have to wake up with a smile, you know?" Xu Jin asked. Said with a broken mouth.

"Speaking of this, I really have to remind you, don't call me fourth brother in front of outsiders in the future. In the future, some things will be passed on to the eldest brother, the second brother, and Xiao Yan. If it is inconvenient, you have to go. The matter of our four brothers, The fewer people who know, the better."

Although Xu Jin was quite dissatisfied, he still nodded: "It makes us look like traitors and traitors, so Bianjing doesn't want to wait."

Shen Bai looked up at the scorching sun outside the house: "If my sister married an ordinary person, why wouldn't I want to put my love on the mountains and rivers and enjoy my life, but I am driven by fate and cannot escape."

Xu Jin was silent after hearing this, and comforted him: "Don't think too much, you have done enough. When I was the same age as you, I was still wandering around with my love for mountains and rivers every day, and finally I fell in love with painting, but you Now that you have dared to use your belongings to do great things, how could it not be a kind of detachment!"

The two chatted for a while, not only feeling powerless about the situation in Bianjing, but also confident in life and the future.

The scorching heat of August didn't last long. On the [-]th, the beginning of autumn, Bianjing City ushered in an autumn rain.

"The shops are all ready, and the first batch of food has already been shipped, but because the warehouse is newly built, all aspects are not perfect."

The four brothers were sitting in the teahouse together, Jia Shiqing thought about it and said.

"The warehouse is currently being expanded and used. Our store will open again after the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is better not to make a high-profile right now. I heard that the grain harvest in many places this year is good. I think the price of grain will not be too high." Qin Yu put the bookstore's monthly income By the way, the profit of nearly 5000 taels is already the limit of printing.

This year is considered to be early autumn, and the Mid-Autumn Festival in Bianjing is approaching, and many merchants are starting to prepare for it. Originally, the four brothers wanted to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together, but at this time Shu Yu may be watching from behind, and the Mid-Autumn Festival night is "" Talented Women Selection" finals.

It rained on August [-]th, and the weather was still cloudy on the [-]th, but it unexpectedly cleared up in the afternoon.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky was clear.

In order to meet the occasion, Shen Bai still found someone to buy crabs from the south, steamed crabs, the male ones were rich in cream, and the female ones were full, which made Xu Jin enjoy himself.

At night, the whole city of Bianjing was bustling with activity, every business house hung up lanterns, and countless people came out to enjoy the lanterns and watch the moon.

Here in Guangde Building, Huang Ji'an sent someone to inform, and reserved a room for Shen Bai and Xu Jin, which was regarded as the privilege of refereeing Xu Jin.

After eating dinner early, the streets of Bianjing are full of traffic, which is not suitable for horse-drawn carriages at all.

In order to save time, they took Xiao Yan, Shunzi and Daniu for a walk.

Zhao Pu's family went out to enjoy the lanterns, so they didn't join in the fun.

Guangde Building is at the intersection of the three cities in the east, west, and north. They walked along Dongshi Street to the nearest.

Many shops in Dongshi were not closed tonight, and even Tongyuan Bookstore offered a [-]% discount sign to entertain guests. When passing by the bookstore, Qin Yu was not there. On such a day, he was at home with his lovely wife and son to share the family relationship.

Before reaching the entrance of Guangde Tower, Shen Bai heard someone calling him, and when he turned around, it was Zihuan.

"Zihuan, why are you here?" Shen Bai looked at him curiously and smiled.

"Abai just saw Zihuan, didn't you see Zhen?" Yu Wentuo walked out of the crowd leisurely with Shu Yu, dressed like a rich man.

"Zhen." Yu Wentuo, who felt that he said something wrong, looked at Shen Bai.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zheng." Shen Bai shouted cleverly, distracting the passers-by who were just attracted by Yu Wentuo's words.

"It's Mr. Zheng." Zihuan helped Shen Baiyuan arrive.

"Ah Bai, what are you doing here?" Yu Wentuo looked at Xu Jin and Xiao Yan and asked.

"Go to the Guangdelou Tea House ahead, Brother Xu is going to be the judge for the selection of talented women!" Shen Bai said politely to Yu Wentuo.

"The selection of talented women, um, we just want to see it, but we still don't know if we can get in, why don't we go together?" Shu Yu added from the side.

Xu Jin had long forgotten who the person in front of him was, and he couldn't even remember that this was the Qianhu on the canal. After hearing their conversation, he thought it was Shen Bai's friend, and patted his chest: "Come with me, there is another room." , should be able to sit down."

Yu Wentuo smiled: "Then thank you, Mr. Wen Lan!"

Xu Jin waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "It's a small matter, it's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. I'm still worried that the talented women in the evening will be boring. Let's judge them together."

Yu Wentuo laughed loudly after hearing this: "Is this the case?"

"So, so, are you all talented women, but they are all holding shovels to hang golden turtles, golden turtles like you can take it easy, don't be shoveled away." He looked at Yu Wenye and laughed. : "But it's okay, there is King Shen in the way, so everyone shoveled him."

Shen Bai stroked his head in embarrassment, if you know who this golden turtle is, would you still say it?
