Chapter 147 Nobushige
As expected, the other party thought that their elder was an official of high rank.
Shen Xianzhu opened his mouth to say something, but he wouldn't lie. He glanced at his sister beside him.
Shen Lingzhu said naturally: "My elders are retired now, but they may be able to come back to power in the future.
Even if I live in peace in my hometown, my elder brother can pass the imperial examination one day."
She deliberately pushed out only the drawings drawn by her eldest brother: "If you think it can be changed, we can change it. If it is difficult, it will not delay your trip."
Shen Lingzhu found that she couldn't be too polite when talking to Mr. Wang Erye, as the other party would not be used to it.
As expected, her direct and impolite tone actually made Mr. Wang feel much more comfortable with it.
He couldn't help but pick up the picture on the table and glance at it. "The pattern is the same, but the painter is not the same person."
“The original work you want was written by my elders themselves.
That's why Uncle Qi had everyone watching him make the real thing and refused to sell it. "It could actually be sold, but Uncle Qi was dissatisfied because the other party only offered one or two taels of silver.
If Shen Lingzhu was present at the time, he would not have sold it to him.
"Master Wang, we are offering you the copy drawings with the greatest sincerity. It depends on whether you are willing to accept them." She hoped to complete the task gently.
Shen Xianzhu added: "I copied it."
Master Wang looked at him again, "I wonder how far Mr. Shen has progressed in the imperial examinations?"
"To be honest, I won't give it a try until next year or two." Shen Xianzhu didn't know whether he could sign up with Brother Song Zhu next year.
Shen Lingzhu smiled and said, "I can answer all the questions in the county exam. Big brother must be very good."
Shen Xianzhu quickly waved his hand, asking his sister to be more low-key, "The questions you did were from a long time ago."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Wang Erye across from him made a decision: "Change it."
Shen Xianzhu was still a little bit unbelievable, it was so simple.
Shen Lingzhu waited for him to have someone bring the deed, and after checking and confirming it, he put it away, and slapped the agreed-upon long and three short shots towards the positions of his uncle and others.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Zongqi came over carrying a bamboo box.
When he put it on the table and opened it, Mr. Wang Er saw a box of palm-sized rocking chair models of various workmanship.
Shen Lingzhu's fingers quickly swept across a dozen small rocking chairs, making them all rock.
Mr. Wang Er couldn't help but laugh and said, "If it was Miss Shen who was selling it in Pingding at the beginning, I would definitely not lower the price.
I will gladly accept this." With just these few items, he could ask a craftsman to make them bigger, and then he could select some to give to his friends.
Yeah, that’s a good idea!
"If we have the chance in the future, we will definitely come to Bingzhou City. Please don't mind if we bother you too much." Shen Lingzhu saw him playing with the small rocking chair in the box and thought to himself, no wonder you were not chosen to live in the provincial capital. You are so playful.
Mr. Wang Erye couldn't hear Shen Lingzhu's thoughts, and he said he was welcome at any time.
The two sides concluded the interview in a friendly exchange and were both very satisfied with the current results.
As soon as he returned to the inn, the first thing Uncle Shen He did was to carefully look over the two deeds he had received.
He said, "It's them. I want to burn them to prevent any further changes."
"Support." Shen Lingzhu even helped blow out the fire sticks to light the lamp, letting him burn it as he pleased.
This matter has completely eliminated the trouble and I can finally go home with peace of mind.
When she was thinking about the arrangements for the return trip, Zhang Xiaobing suggested looking for a caravan and asked her if she would like to go with them.
Shen Lingzhu agreed and was accompanied by his uncle.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaobing took the two of them to the outskirts of the city and met Zhang Tongzhi and Mr. Han.
After greeting them, she asked in surprise, "Why don't you go into the city?"
Zhang Tongzhi became polite at this moment and let Mr. Han speak.
Mr. Han said, "That's right. We would like to ask you to bring some more people and disguise yourself as merchants to go to Bingzhou."
Huang Zongqi became alert. "When you say add some people, could it be some criminals?"
Mr. Han nodded. "Yes, someone tried to kidnap certain people, and our own people couldn't disguise themselves as a caravan."
A group of regular government troops who often appeared in and around the city were spotted in no time.
Huang Zongqi wanted to refuse, but he also knew that if someone came to him for help, it was a sign of trust in him.
Moreover, even if they refuse for a while, they will be asked to stay in the county town temporarily so as not to affect their actions, and they will also lose the two relationships they have now.
Shen Lingzhu didn't have so many concerns. Not only did she agree, she also suggested: "Find someone from the opera troupe who knows how to do makeup and have them paint the faces of the people you send as guards."
"A clown? Wouldn't that attract more attention?" Zhang Tongzhi disagreed.
Shen Lingzhu smiled and said, "It's just using powder and eyebrow pencil to slightly modify the face. It won't be painted with oil paint."
Finding a theatrical troupe was not a difficult task for Zhang Tongzhi.
But Shen Lingzhu agreed readily, but when it came to actual action, it was easy for the eldest brother to talk, but it took a long time to explain to the second grandfather.
The old man was eager to go home, fearing that if he stayed here any longer, something might happen to his son again.
He was even more worried about Shen Lingzhu and his sister. They were both smart and quick-witted. Since entering Pingding, they had hardly acted according to the original plan.
When Shen Lingzhu suddenly said that he wanted to go to Bingzhou to explore the local situation, he asked the second grandfather and his family of three to bring the West Three Guards and return home first.
Unfortunately, Shen Dexian disagreed, "Since we came together, let's go back together."
Ren, who was in charge of pouring water for everyone, curled her lips secretly and said, "That's not what you said when you drove me away."
Shen Lingzhu knew that it was impossible to persuade him, so she led her second grandfather out of the room, walked around in the yard, and told him what to do next.
"Then I shouldn't leave. If anything happens, it's better to have our own family around.
"Besides, the more people we have, the more we look like a caravan. But what are we selling? We can't go in and out empty-handed." "Second Grandfather Shen Dexian just doesn't go out much, he's not stupid."
On the contrary, they have a lot of life experience.
For example, when choosing goods, he would suggest looking for carpenters he had worked with before to see if they had bellows.
The Shen family has sold almost all of these things, and they couldn't bury them even after they were taken to the provincial capital.
They acted immediately. Both Shen He and Xia Xing took people to the homes of the carpenters they had worked with to buy bellows.
So the next day, when Zhang Xiaobing brought them a few carts of cloth, he saw that their carts were loaded with a lot of bellows.
Shen Lingzhu looked at the young men driving the carts and found that their faces had indeed been retouched and did not appear too serious.
She didn't see any other prisoners who should be taken away. "Do they still need to be locked up?"
Zhang Xiaobing: "Bring them. They're in the car and are waiting outside the West City Gate."
It would be better if they didn't bring them into the city. After Shen Lingzhu gave his uncle a few instructions, he ordered everyone to line up and set off.
There were three cars when they arrived, seven or eight cars when they left, and after leaving the west city gate, five more cars carrying passengers joined in.
Fortunately, they didn't all get in one car.
But because they were scattered, Huang Zongqi, who was afraid of losing anyone, and the people sent by Zhang Tongzhi, kept circling around the convoy.
Shen Lingzhu was looked after personally by Second Grandpa.
