Shen Jia thought for a while, and reminded him: "If you think about it well, you can balance the situation with a veteran. If you think about it badly, it's easy to cause trouble if you don't get it right. Not understanding generals is also a disaster.”

"You are right, so I have to think twice about who can move and who can't, and this move is mainly aimed at the Qian family army. General Qian is getting old, and with the pain of losing his son, it is impossible to cheer up gone."

Seeing that he had thought through, Shen Jia had nothing to worry about, and watched the memorial with him in the imperial study, and then went out of the palace together through the side door to go home.

It happened to be Xiaowei Song who escorted them out of the palace today. Shen Jia carefully observed him all the way, and saw that he was not sad at all, and looked the same as usual. He suspected that he didn't know about it, so should he tell him? Woolen cloth?

"What are you looking at?" Zhao Zhang asked displeased.

Shen Jia told him her entanglement, and asked, "Wouldn't it be good to be straightforward?"

"What's the trouble?" He shouted: "Stop the sedan chair" and waved to Song Bingyang. When he came over, he asked directly, "I heard that you have an engagement with Xu Shoufu's granddaughter. When will you get married?"

Song Bingyang was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "Don't dare to lie to the emperor, I did have a marriage contract with Miss Xu San before I was humbled, but the engagement was terminated last month with the consent of both parents, please the emperor to check it out."

"Huh, divorced?" Shen Jia stuck out her head and asked curiously, "Did you propose it or did she propose it?"

Song Bingyang replied with a face of embarrassment: "Ms. Xu San didn't look down on the humble job, and the humble job went to Xu's house to withdraw the marriage after asking her parents for permission."

"There are no rumors about such a big event?" Although Shen Jia is not someone who pays close attention to public opinion every day, the news of the divorce of these two families is definitely a big news. It has been a month and no news has come out, which is outrageous.

"It was requested by the Xu family. They said it was too sudden, and they were afraid of affecting Miss Xu's remarriage. Let's wait a while and find a suitable opportunity to disclose it to the outside world."

Shen Jia felt speechless, the Xu family should know, this is using Song Bingyang as a shield, maybe they will plant a crime on Song Bingyang so that he will bear the stigma of retiring, but this is someone else's business, since The two parties have retired, so there is no big problem.

"Be alert yourself, there is no need to comply with all the requests made by the Xu family." Shen Jia reminded him and sat back, met Zhao Zhang's playful gaze, and leaned over with a smile: "Why? I also eat this jealousy?"

"I'm not that boring, but I see that you care about him, why don't you let him follow you?"

Shen Jia's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Is it really possible?"

Zhao Zhang snorted coldly, "You think beautifully!"

Shen Jiaxiao fell on top of him, and the guards who accompanied him were very surprised when they heard such a hearty laughter. They didn't know what kind of joke Mr. Shen heard, but the servants were not surprised, even if they heard the emperor's laughter, they They also feel normal, when they are together with Mr. Shen, the emperor is not the emperor they are familiar with.

Chen Shangshu brought his incompetent nephew home, his head was dizzy with anger, and seeing the other party's unconvinced expression, he was even more angry, but it's a pity that he couldn't beat him if he wasn't his own son.

"Tell me, who do you think you are? Even the crown prince, when he left the palace in Weifu, he followed the rules and never caused trouble. How about you? You have only been in Chang'an for a long time, and you have offended people one after another. You are not good at seeing the Chen family." ?"

"Second uncle, I didn't know that the shop belonged to Mr. Wei, and they told me before that they could negotiate with the other party to exchange it. At first, I really wanted to calm down and change the shop."

"Aren't you out of your mind? What people said is on the premise that both parties are voluntary. Has anyone else agreed? And the ones who can buy shops there can be ordinary merchants? Don't you know that a person with two legs just fell down in Chang'an City?" Could they all be relatives of the emperor?"

"Then didn't I apologize?" Chen Jingui didn't cause trouble at the beginning, it was because the other party didn't give him face so much, he even reported Chen Shangshu's name, and the other party didn't even respond, which made him feel helpless. It's very face-saving.

Chen Shangshu supported his forehead, and said earnestly: "You are not young. I thought you knew how to make progress when you said you were going to practice in the Yamen. Now it seems that you are too naive. I don't think so. Your father is about to form a group. The caravan is heading south, and it’s going to Guangdong and Guangxi. You can go together. Mr. Shen will soon go to Guangdong and Guangxi to take up his post. With the help of my second uncle, he should be willing to take care of you for a while. You should go out and learn more. , lest you think you are invincible.”

When Chen Jingui heard that he was going to travel far away, he was unwilling at first, but when he heard that the place he was going to was with Shen Jia, he suddenly became excited, "Okay, okay, I said that I want to be a follower for Master Shen, why not go with Master Shen?" Let’s go on the road together, it’s good to have a companion on the road.”

Chen Mian rolled his eyes, and reprimanded: "Master Shen is an official of the imperial court. He is going to take office this trip, and he is escorted by soldiers. How can you be together? Do you really think that your father is the emperor's old man?"

"Isn't there your second uncle? Don't you have a good relationship with Mr. Shen? And he is still your subordinate now, so he will definitely listen to your words."

Chen Mian was powerless, and waved his hand to ask people to take this stinky thing down, "Half a month's confinement, don't let him come out to shame, master, I don't have the face to face people when I go out now."

Chen Jingui also knew that today's trouble was not small, so he apologized obediently, accepted the grounding obediently, and looked for the travel notes of the south with great interest, saying that he wanted to understand the local customs first, so that he could take Mr. Shen with him in the future Go out and play together.

I don't know where he got his confidence, he thought that Shen Jia would definitely talk to him, but I have to say that his temperament of offending people without knowing it is sometimes quite confusing, at least it won't make people guard against him.

In other words: stupid is a little stupid, but it is better than a simple mind.

The next day, Shen Jia still remembered the incident, and asked the entourage if the matter was resolved, and the entourage said in a word: "It is resolved, but Young Master Chen bought the shop next door to Master Wei at ten times the price."

"Pfft!" Shen Jia took a sip of tea and asked in shock, "How much? Ten times? Can Chen Shangshu agree?"

"Master Chen had already signed the contract when Mr. Chen arrived, and he can't go back on his word."

Although it was easy to buy a building with the Chen family's financial resources, Shen Jia was still shocked by this kid's operation. If this was his child, he would have been beaten to death long ago.

"If that's the case, then set a quota for the Chen family in the chamber of commerce, and post a copy of the post. We have to make it easier for them to take advantage of it."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it."

"By the way, have you picked out the auspicious day at Qin Tianjian?"

"Your subordinate will ask."

Shen Jia nodded, put the official documents she had sorted out into the cabinet, and then wrote down the table of contents so that the other party could get started smoothly during the handover.

The candidate to succeed him has not yet been decided, Shen Jia meant to let Chen Mian choose, there must be someone on the left and right servant who is inclined to him, the left servant has already appointed Lu Hongbin, and the left servant can let Chen Mian choose by himself.

It's just that there are many people staring at the position of a third-rank servant. The Ministry of Officials sent a list of candidates. There are people from all sides.

Before going down to the yamen, Qin Tianjian finally delivered the good day. The [-]th of next month is an auspicious day, and there are no taboos. When Shen Jia saw it, he felt that Qin Tianjian was no different from the quack priests outside. Why does it take so long to count the auspicious days that can be seen?

Shen Jia complained a few words in her heart, that's all, it's a good day, there is still about a month, which is enough to plan the business district properly, and the last bit of finishing work will not be too late. Arrange for merchants to settle in, followed by the economic exchange meeting. After the exchange meeting is over, the business district will basically be able to develop steadily.

Shen Jiading's departure date is just after the exchange meeting, so there is only more than a month left. He wants to build a similar business district in Guangdong at that time, and the sea merchants will ship the goods back, and then distribute them to various places from here. At the same time, the population can be extradited gradually.

But it may take many years to succeed. It is impossible for Shen Jia to stay in Guangdong and Guangxi for the rest of his life. He made a three-year contract with Zhao Zhang. Do as much as you can, and leave the rest to future generations.

"My lord, the old lady sent someone to tell you to go home." The entourage came in to report.

"Understood." Shen Jia sent someone to guard Yiyuan, and if Zhao Zhang returned early, he would send him a message so that he would not wait alone at home.

It was still daylight when the carriage returned to Yujingfang, there were a few people standing outside the Shen residence, there were men and women, they couldn't see clearly from a distance.

"Go and ask who it is." Shen Jia sat still in the carriage and asked He Yan to go down to find out what happened.

He Yan jumped out of the carriage and recognized a few of them before he got close. He suddenly turned around and ran towards the carriage, but was quickly stopped by someone, "Hey, isn't that Ayan? Is the nephew back?"

When Shen Jia heard the voice, she already knew who was coming. She opened the car door and walked down, pulled He Yan aside, and walked over with a smile on her lips, "Hey, isn't this the third uncle? Why are you still traveling long distances at your age?" Running to Chang'an?"

The Shen family is also a big family in Baoning Mansion, and the family is prosperous, but the relationship with Shen's father is only his brothers, and further up, people of the same clan are considered relatives but not close.

After Shen Jia went to high school, everything that should be taken care of in the family was taken care of. After all, it was a great happy event for Guangzong Yaozu, and the family members followed suit.

Father Shen received several letters from relatives, some asking him to go home to visit his family, some asking his family to go home to worship their ancestors, and even more asking them to take care of them.

Shen Jia is also willing to help them without violating the principle, and at the same time has people double restraint them so that they will not drag him back in his hometown.

But he didn't expect that because last year Shen's father suddenly sent people back to his hometown to buy property, rumors abounded in the clan. Some said that Shen Jia had become rich and wanted to buy property for his parents so that he could return to his roots in the future. As a big corrupt official, the money from corruption will naturally be used to buy properties. If he is found out in the future, he will implicate the whole family.

Originally, it was just everyone's guess. I didn't expect that a few years ago, a few merchants who went to Chang'an for business returned to Baoning Mansion and secretly brought back news that Shen Jia had offended Mr. Shoufu in the court, and also offended many people. The young court official heard that he was sued in the Yamen, and he didn't know what happened in the end.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Lu's family also came back in embarrassment, and the news they brought was even more shocking. According to Zhang's family, Shen Jia actually took the initiative to reconcile Shen Peng because she was dissatisfied with Zhang Lu's concubine, and even forcibly took her away. The two children of the Zhang family, the Zhang family sued Shen Jia to the Yamen, but the family was kicked out of Chang'an instead, and ended up losing their personal wealth.

Rumors spread everywhere, coupled with the promotion of people with good intentions, Shen Jia's reputation in Baoning Mansion was severely damaged. Originally, the clansman wrote a letter to this matter, and Shen Jia would send someone to deal with it. Unfortunately, what the clansman saw was that he offended Many courtiers were precarious, in order to avoid their relatives being implicated, they sent a few clan elders to the capital, not for marrying relatives, but for severing ties with Shen Jia's lineage.

Because of this, they couldn't even enter the Shen family's gate.

The gate of Shen's residence was opened, and the housekeeper ran out to inform Shen Jia of the cause and effect. Shen Jia smiled angrily, and ordered with a half-smile: "Anyway, the visitor is a guest, so let's bring a few clan elders into the mansion, and sit down if you have something to say. Speak slowly."
