I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 164 Peace Talisman

After sending Shen Xiaoye and his uncle away, Bai angrily grabbed the silver and said, "Xiaoye did it on purpose."

"So what? She made you money. Fifty taels of interest is more than what you earn in a month.

My wife, do you dislike my family so much? "Shen Changshun lost his job for no reason and felt bad.

He said: "Speaking of which, if she and Changshou hadn't shown up in time this time, who knows what would have happened to Hui."

After saying that, he walked towards the backyard without caring how ugly Bai's face was. He was not marrying into the family. Although he now lived behind his father-in-law's shop it was only for convenience. However, the yard where his parents-in-law lived was bought with the money his father had saved for half his life.

At this time, a Taoranju shop assistant came into the shop and said, "Mr. Shen, the shopkeeper wants you to come over."

"No, I'm no longer working as an accountant at Taoranju." Shen Changshun kept walking, completely ignoring Bai's expression.

He decided to take his two daughters back to Jiuli Village to visit his parents while he had nothing to do.

Changshou is right. Don’t create regrets for yourself in the future. There is no overnight hatred with your parents.

"But..." Seeing him walk away without even turning his head, the waiter said anxiously, "Mrs. Bai, please try to persuade him. The eldest son just came to ask about Mr. Shen, and... he also wants to check the previous accounts."

"My husband has always been serious about his work and would never be greedy for a penny from anyone. You can check it out as you like. I won't give it to him." Mrs. Bai still defended her husband.

The guy tried to persuade him several times but it was useless, so he had to go back and report.

Shen Xiaoye, who was leaving, had no idea that Tao had acted swiftly and had already launched an investigation.

She had already left the city gate and was heading towards Shicheng. After walking out for just a moment, she heard the little black cat say, "The Taoist priest is waiting for you at the tea stall with red characters on a white background, thirty meters to the left."

The official road leading into Beijing was very busy, with many merchants and travelers coming and going, resulting in all kinds of businesses within ten miles of the city gate.

"Xiao Ye, the owner of the grain store told me that it would be great if we could send some red cloth. He said that a large amount of red cloth was transferred to Beijing in the past few days.

The red cloth in the city was sold at a high price of more than ten or twenty coins per foot.

You say, would it be more appropriate for us to go home and dye three hundred pieces of it overnight? "My uncle Shen Changshou drove the cart carefully, trying not to get close to the heavily loaded horses.

He has always been cautious and willing to let his children try some things, such as small leaf dyeing, as long as they can stay at home to take care of themselves.

"This is just a gust of wind. When the army sets out, it won't be until then. Some civilians will escort things out of the capital a few days in advance, and the rest of the people will not all enter the capital.

By the time we dye the cloth, I guess no one in the capital will buy the red elephant-trunk breeches anymore.

"Uncle, I think we'll be leaving soon." So I have to go see my fourth uncle and ask him if he's willing to take along the little black cat who volunteered to go out to the border.

Seeing that his uncle was in low spirits, Shen Xiaoye said, "I'll catch the bus for a while."

"Alas, many people died last time. I hope we can win a great victory this time and avenge them." Shen Changshou regained his composure and concentrated on driving the carriage.

"Yes." The emperor will personally lead the first-class officers and soldiers to fight against the Northern Tartars, and the logistics must be top-notch.

But they were almost at the tea stall, and seeing that he was still unwilling to change, Shen Xiaoye gave up and said that she wanted to get off the car and take a walk.

"Okay." In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Shen Changshou saw that two collisions had occurred with the carriages and horses in front of him, and both sides were blocking the road and blocking others.

Shen Xiaoye was just making up an excuse. She didn't try to hide it. When she saw Taoist Qingxi sitting at the tea stall, she said something to her uncle and strode over. "Master, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"Yes, the young master of the Tao family whom you met just now not only runs a restaurant and a bookstore, but he also does silk business.

During this period, many of them sent cloth to the Shaanxi and Gansu regions. Taoist Qingxi reminded her, "Perhaps you can take advantage of his caravan and sell the cloth further?"

Shen Xiaoye said: "He can also buy my cloth."

“No, the more people join the caravan, the safer it will be.

Your uncle can also go with the team..." Taoist Qingxi glanced at Shen Changshou who was pushing the cart and suddenly changed his mind, "Forget it, your family is going to have a baby and your uncle will be too busy."

"Your Taixu Temple will also be traveling with the caravan, right?

He also took care of security along the way and earned money to go into seclusion.

We can each get what we need and kill two birds with one stone." Shen Xiaoye thought about it for a while and understood better.

"Master, do you really want me to go out for a walk?" She mentioned this question again.

But Taoist Qingxi only said: "Travel thousands of miles and read thousands of books.

Girls, like boys, need to broaden their horizons and minds.”

Shen Xiaoye deeply agrees with this, but she still needs to operate conservatively for now, as her family's financial resources and power do not allow her to take risks.

After Shen Changshou sat down, the two chatted for a long time. Qingxi Dao gave each of them a talisman and said, "Amulet of peace, safe journey."

The uncle and nephew thanked him and left, leaving Taoist Qingxi alone sitting at the tea stall for a long time before leaving.

Shen Xiaoye was not worried about this. She just wanted the car to reach the capital as soon as possible so that she could get accurate information and let her fourth uncle come back to say goodbye to the family.

But no matter how anxious she was, it was of no use because the mule cart was driving on a dirt road after all.

During this time, she took the right to drive, and when she started speeding, her uncle was so frightened that he kept scolding her and no longer wanted her to drive.

So this time when the car arrived at the outer city, the inner city gate was closed early. When Shen Xiaoye found the inn and came to the back to feed the mule, he unexpectedly saw Yuan, the cook from Lu Guan's private residence, helping there.

On such a cold day, she was pumping water from the well, bucket after bucket.

She couldn't help asking, "Aunt, why are you here?"

"Mr. Lu was not at home most of the time, so I just made lunch and had nothing to do. Later, Mr. Bai asked me to leave work early.

I have nothing to do now, so I'll just look for a job." Yuan told her the truth.

Shen Xiaoye nodded, "You must take care of yourself. Don't force yourself to stay strong if you are really tired."

"Yes, yes. Thank you for your concern, young lady. You should go and have a rest." Yuan still has two children to raise, so she must protect herself first, otherwise the three of them will die together.

Shen Xiaoye thought for a moment and said, "Is there still no news about Jiaer's father?

Whether or not to ask Lu Guan for a favor, start by asking the Five Cities Military Department.

By the way, what is Jiaer's father's full name? "

“No, no, it’s too much trouble.

My husband Yi..." After Yuan finished speaking, she saw Shen Xiaoye frowning and said, "To be honest, aunt, I seem to have heard this name somewhere before?"

"Really?" Yuan was pleasantly surprised and grabbed her hand fiercely. "Miss, I'll feed the mule. You take a rest and think about it."

"No need, I'll ask my uncle." Shen Xiaoye walked towards his uncle who was cleaning the wheels and asked, "Uncle, I must have heard of Yi somewhere... Do you remember this name?

He is the husband of Aunt Yuan, the cook. If we can't find him, the three of us won't be able to live in peace."

"Let me think about it." Shen Changshou stopped what he was doing and concentrated on looking at the sky. After a moment, he said, "There was a man named Yi, but I don't remember his specific name, or no one told me."

Shen Xiaoye's eyes lit up: "Who?"
