Chapter 163 More Suitable

Shen He nodded expressionlessly and said only, "We are in a hurry to leave the city. Please give our regards to my aunt on our behalf."

Then he and Shen Lingzhu turned around at the same time and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, the nanny said to Xue Yuning, "Miss, in the future, ignore those who don't know what you are talking about.

In our Ninghua Palace, not everyone can be our relative."

Shen He, who had just taken a few steps, heard this and his expression changed immediately. The moment he was about to turn around, Shen Lingzhu quickly grabbed his wrist and stopped him, "Seventh Uncle, a few words from an unknown person won't affect the relationship between our family members."

Then she turned to Xue Yuning and said, "Cousin Xue, I'll come to visit you next time I come to the city."

Cousin Xue, who was a little at a loss, nodded subconsciously: "Okay."

The nanny beside her narrowed her eyes and glanced at Shen Lingzhu, and heard her say, "Cousin, anyone who marries into the Prince's Mansion in a sedan chair carried by eight people will be given a title along with her husband, and will be the master."

Shen Lingzhu glanced at the nanny's slightly surprised look and Xue Yuning's thoughtful expression, smiled and said "goodbye", then pulled Uncle Qi and quickly went into the teahouse against the last flow of people.

By the time Shen He looked out of the teahouse window, the Xue family had long disappeared.

He frowned and said, "Getting involved with these relatives is just asking for trouble.

I should learn from my uncle and ignore everything."

Shen Lingzhu was not in a position to comment on the older generation. After all, they were very distant from him and had nothing to do with him.

She didn't see her cousin Huang, so she said she was going to look for the shopkeeper. As soon as she started to move, the storyteller who was packing up on the stage saw her coming. He dropped his things and greeted her with a bow, saying, "Miss Shen, you've arrived just in time. After telling ten stories of ten sections, it's still a big hit every day.

Many people are eager to hear the rest of the story, and since Huang Xiaoge left, I haven't been able to find time to visit him and ask for his manuscript."

"You speak quite fast. I don't have a script." As soon as Shen Lingzhu finished speaking, she saw the storyteller's face full of disappointment.

He said, "I'll give you an extra 10%, is that okay?"

"How about changing the story?" Shen Lingzhu had not read the original novel. All he remembered about the Monkey King was the impression he had from watching it every summer vacation.

She forgot to ask her senior sister whether she had seen it.

“You don’t have to tell the same story.”

"But, as everyone likes to listen, other things like stories may not always be sold out." The storyteller tried his best to persuade them, hoping that they would give a few more follow-up stories.

Shen Lingzhu was not sure whether her senior sister could write the sequel, so she insisted on giving her a new manuscript. The Legend of the White Snake and The Black Mountain Demon should also be very popular.

So I told a short story, and the storyteller opposite was still considering whether to stop.

Shen He, who was beside her, had already said, "I don't know where Qingcheng Mountain is, but I've heard of West Lake.

Among merchants traveling back and forth from south to north, there is always a saying that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.

"We have officials from the south as well as merchants from the south in Baozhou Prefecture. I think many people will like the Legend of the White Snake."

"Who is this?" The storyteller nodded at him and asked Shen Lingzhu.

The latter said: "My seventh uncle."

The storyteller immediately bowed and said, "Mr. Shen Qi, you may not know this, but I have heard of the legend of a scholar slaying a snake demon.

It’s a sad story, and it’s not very appealing.”

"Why not just change it into a happy ending story that everyone likes?" Shen Lingzhu said lightly, attracting the two of them to look at her at the same time.

The storyteller said after careful consideration, "If you can revise it, I can give it a try on stage.

However, it would be safest if we could continue to tell the story of Sun Wukong."

"I'll try to tell my sister." Anyway, she herself couldn't remember too much.

Since the storyteller was not very interested in telling the Legend of the White Snake, she did not force him and instead asked him if he was familiar with any big restaurant that bought wine since he often went in and out of the city.

"Wine?! As long as Miss Shen has it, I will sell it to you at a high price." The storyteller's eyes lit up when he heard it. Fine grape wine in a luminous cup is hard to come by.

Shen Lingzhu also asked him how much the wine that appeared in the capital city used to cost and how long it took to sell it out before he said goodbye and left.

On the way out of the city and back to Dashuangdian, Shen He drove the car and said to her, "Let the storyteller do it, I'm afraid he will take some of it away.

It would be more appropriate for us to find restaurants to sell it ourselves.”

“But there’s no one in the family who’s suitable for this.

Nineteenth Aunt is getting married this month and doesn't have time to help. My second sister and I are busy with other things and can't come in person.

Others, like Third Uncle and Ninth Uncle, aren't good at business, and Erwang and the others are too young, with little experience in business and little confidence in their work." Shen Lingzhu counted off several of them one by one.

Finally, he said, "Seventh Uncle wants to do more business outside selling bellows and rocking chairs, but he's too busy to do that."

Shen He just said, "I'll do it." When he met her cunning eyes, he smiled first, then pointed at her with his index finger and said, "Girl, wait for me here."

"Uncle Qi, are you really willing? The wine produced at home is only a few hundred kilograms." Shen Lingzhu really didn't want him to go to other provinces to sell blueprints again.

If it was just Uncle Qi's own business, then wherever he went would have nothing to do with our family.

But the bellows business is closely related to their family. If anything happens to Uncle Qi or anyone else who is away, their family will bear the responsibility.

Just like this time, the uncle mobilized all the money in the family and lost face to ask for help (even though the letter was not handed to his classmate, only he and his elder brother sent visiting cards but were not able to see him), but still Xia Xing was missed.

She simply took advantage of the sunset and the lack of traffic to speak frankly to Shen He, "Seventh Uncle, after this, my uncle will definitely not allow his business to expand to more distant prefectures and counties.

I estimate that at most everyone will be allowed to move within a radius of 300 miles."

"I understand. After I go back, I will be solely responsible for the confiscated liquor." It was because he insisted on doing cross-provincial liquor business that the liquor was confiscated.

He raised his hand to stop Shen Lingzhu from saying anything more, "Several dozen taels of silver is not a small amount, and your family still owes foreign debts.

Since I made the decision to insist on buying the alcohol, I have to bear the consequences."

"Seventh Uncle, I'm not talking about this. What I'm saying is that before your eldest uncle is reinstated, our family business shouldn't go too far.

You are a capable person. If you have any other plans for next year, you can stop working for me at any time. ” As for the New Year, you should still move between Baozhou and Zhending.

Shen He thought carefully for a long time before asking, "Did Miao Zhu ask you to say this to me?"

"No, it's me." Shen Lingzhu couldn't possibly push everything onto her senior sister.

She continued, “And when I get home, I will definitely make sure my uncle has the same opinion as me.

If you feel resentful, just blame me."

"No, no, Uncle Qi doesn't blame any of you. Things were going too well recently, and I was a little too proud of myself." Shen He lowered his head and laughed at himself. How could he not examine himself when his father grabbed his ears and scolded him?

But it didn't matter that he lowered his head, he almost collided with a carriage coming in the opposite direction.
