The Double Ninth Festival must be celebrated well.
Especially now that the conditions of Shen Yi, Xu Fu and other people around them have improved. Although they cannot be said to be wealthy businessmen, they can also be regarded as high-income people in Jiankang City. Of course, everyone can have dinner together. Have a good meal.
When Shen Yi walked out of the room, Xu Fu, five other people, and two maids, Qing'er and Ping'er, had already prepared the meals. At this moment, the two tables in the yard were put together to form a big table. There are more than a dozen dishes on the table, which is very rich.
There were a total of eight people including Shen Yi. After everyone took their seats, everyone picked up the cups in front of them and clinked a cup together.
The meal lasted for almost half an hour before it was over. The two maids and the little girl chatted and started clearing the table. Xu Fu sat with Shen Yi and talked. What they encountered in Jiankang during this time.
"Sir, the weather is getting cold. According to your instructions, we will not make the ice drink you taught us in another two days."
Shen Yi smiled and said, "There's no need to be so impatient. Some people also like to eat these in the winter. You can take them and sell them, and you won't lose money anyway."
Xu Fu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Master, you told me last time that we can't set up a stall in Jiankang all our lives. If we want to have a business that can last for a long time and become bigger and stronger, I will I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I really can’t think of any good business to make a living apart from the patent medicine business you mentioned earlier.”
"The matter of patent medicine..."
After Shen Yi frowned slightly, he shook his head and said: "I haven't thought enough about the patent medicine. I have also thought about this business during this time, but now we have no official background. Don't talk about making money from this thing. Even if It's a free gift in Jiankang City, and something might happen, so I'm going to put the matter of the patent medicine aside for now, at least..."
Shen Yi looked calm: "At least I have to wait until I become an official in the future before I consider this aspect."
Shen Yi is still in the preparation stage for the medicine shop business. He has wanted to take action many times, but after thinking about it, he always felt that it was not appropriate.
Because it involves people's life and death, many things have to be done with caution. Even if there is indeed nothing wrong with the patent medicine made by Shen Yi, once you make money, people will naturally be jealous. It is too easy to discredit this thing. so easy.
Although Mr. Shen is working for the emperor now, he is doing it in secret after all. He has no official status. He is building Kangcheng and does not have the kind of face that can make everyone give way to him. Therefore, this matter can only be dealt with first. Let it go.
But Shen Yi didn't intend to give up.
One day, after Shen Qi has some power and influence of his own, he will still do this. Even if it will bring a lot of controversy, he will still do it without hesitation.
Because he understands this era very well.
In this era, it can no longer be described as a lack of medical treatment and medicine. The medical conditions are so poor that not only the mortality rate of newborns is very high, but also the children who have grown up can be cured by a severe cold or a high fever. His life.
And if there are patent medicines, the cost of treating diseases for ordinary people will be greatly reduced.
Not to mention whether this thing can eat dead people, even if it can eat dead people.
If one person can be killed and ten more people can be saved, Shen Yi feels that it is worth doing.
But at the moment, Shen Yi doesn't have the ability or means to quell the controversy, so he has to let it go.
After chatting with Xu Fu about future development for a while, Shen Yi lowered his head and thought about it, then took a deep breath and said: "In the past few months, I have been sitting at home writing and reading, and there really is nothing good in my mind. I have an idea, Qiu Wei will arrive in half a month, how about waiting until half a month later and then we can sit together and slowly sum up the future things?"
In fact, with Shen Yi's vision and knowledge, he can naturally find many business opportunities and make a living in this world. However, the past half year of cramming questions has made his mind a little confused. Too many ideas are colliding in his mind. I'm a bit out of ideas.
Xu Fu quickly lowered his head and said: "Sir, it's important for you to take the exam for merit, other things are not worth mentioning."
"Of course it's important to take the exam for merit and fame, but other things should also be mentioned."
Shen Yi patted Xu Fu on the shoulder, smiled and said: "But things happen first and later, let's do it one by one."
In the afternoon, Shen Yi said goodbye to his friends and took the sixth issue of the Di newspaper he had written to the inner guard's office in the city. The inner guard handed it to the palace for him, and then the palace handed it over. Di newspaper department.
Because today is the Double Ninth Festival, the palace is also very lively.
To respect the elderly during the Double Ninth Festival, after noon, His Majesty the Emperor was no longer in the Deqing Palace, but came to the Renshou Palace in the imperial city to accompany his biological mother, the Queen Mother.
The mother and son stayed together for a whole afternoon. The little emperor reported to his mother the major and minor events in the court since he had been in charge for more than half a year, as well as some interesting things he encountered in his daily life. The mother and son got along very harmoniously.
In the evening, mother and son had dinner together again, and then the emperor got up and said goodbye to the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Sun was still very young at this time. She held her son's hand and whispered: "Your Majesty, you have not been in charge for a long time. Many things in the court cannot be taken for granted. There are some things that you cannot see or touch in the imperial city." No, there is no experience, so we can only let those ministers do it."
"You leave it to them to do, and if they do well they will reward you, and if they do not do well they will punish you. In this way, the emperor will always be blameless."
These imperial skills were supposed to be taught by the late emperor himself to the present majesty, but the late emperor left too early and in too great a hurry. As a result, the one who actually taught the emperor in the past few years was actually the Empress Dowager Sun.
The little emperor bowed his head respectfully: "My sons and ministers have all remembered what my mother said."
"Um."
Empress Dowager Sun sighed and said: "Empress Mother knows that you are busy with state affairs. It is not easy for you to stay here for half a day today. You can go on your own."
The emperor nodded respectfully and said goodbye.
Just when the emperor was about to leave, Empress Dowager Sun looked at the young emperor and asked: "By the way, the prince should also pay more attention to the matter of the wedding. If you don't have the woman you like, your mother will come after you." I picked it for you."
The little emperor didn't like this topic very much. After saluting, he said goodbye in a somewhat embarrassed manner and left.
After leaving Renshou Palace, Eunuch Gao had already prepared a chariot waiting at the entrance of the palace. After serving the emperor on the chariot, Eunuch Gao looked happy and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the news just sent me is that a great event has happened.
."
The little emperor was originally worried about the wedding. Hearing this, he glanced at Gao Ming and frowned: "What's the matter, so rude?"
Gao Ming lowered his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I'm going to keep this secret for a while. I'll tell you after you return to Deqing Hall."
Although the little emperor was confused, he still frowned and did not have an attack. After the master and servant left Renshou Palace, they quickly returned to Deqing Palace. After returning to the dormitory, Gao Mingcai knelt down in front of the emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty
, Zhou Jinan of the Northern Qi Dynasty died."
Hearing these words, the little emperor was startled.
Zhou Jinan, the great enemy of the Chen court!
He looked at Gao Ming and said, "How did you die?"
"I don't know yet. I heard that he died suddenly."
Gao Ming said slowly: "What can be confirmed is that he is indeed dead."
The little emperor thought for a while, and then a smile appeared on his face, which was quite cheerful.
"Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and I heard good news again. It is really a rare and good day..."
