Chapter 586 The busy Xiao brothers and sisters
"Going on a study tour with the Supreme Emperor?"
Ming Jun looked at Ming Jia in shock. He now knew what Shen Qing said before leaving!
"Yeah! And Huang Jiawen is here too!"
Ming Jia calmly wrote a small note, planning to send a letter to Huang Jiawen in the form of a flying pigeon. Huang Jiawen should also arrive in the capital after the college exam!
"Brother, have you contacted Huang Jiawen? Has he arrived in the capital?"
Mingjia's question instantly brought Mingjun's confused thinking back to reality.
"Well, counting the days, how many days will it take for Jiawen to arrive in the capital!"
"That's good! His physical fitness looks good, he should have rested!"
Mingjia's flying pigeon letter to Master is concise and clear:
On September 9th, I met Shen Qing in Xuzhou and agreed to travel to the south of the Yangtze River together. Huang Jiawen was coming soon!
Ming Jia believed that his master would have a way to send Huang Jiawen from the capital to Xuzhou as quickly as possible!
After that, the Xiao brothers and sisters became completely busy.
The large dock warehouse at the seaside dock alone was enough for Mingjun and Mingjia to carry the drawings around for several days, and Huang Zhengqing accompanied them throughout the process.
They need to divide more detailed storage areas according to the location and size of the warehouse to centralize materials and facilitate management.
Cotton, cloth and other flammable items are prioritized in warehouses with water sources, and are placed in an independent row. To say the least, losses can be minimized.
Chen Shao'ang came to the door several times but failed. This was the first time Chen Shao'ang met a businessman who was busier than himself!
After staying in Xuzhou for a long time, Liang Shengrui felt a little bored, so he took Shen Qing and others to visit Xuzhou City again.
"Shen Qing, do you know where the Xiao family's property is?"
Shen Qing: "...I really know!"
"Xuzhou should also have Zhiqulou, a bookstore with some characteristics!"
"Oh~! How about the special method?"
"The general is not a scholar, and I can't tell the specific situation, and it is said that the knowledge buildings in different places are different!"
"Then let's go and take a look!"
Liang Shengrui took his guards and Eunuch Li to Shiqu Building. Naturally, no one informed him in advance to pick him up. Huang Zhengqing was not in Shiqu Building, so the waiter warmly entertained them.
On the first floor of Shiqu Building, there were classified bookshelves with simulated test questions in a prominent position. Liang Shengrui just flipped through a few pages, then turned around and threw them into Eunuch Li's arms.
Eunuch Li knew that the Supreme Emperor had taken a liking to the book and quickly took it with both hands and held it in his arms.
Soon, Eunuch Li could no longer hold her in his arms. When the waiter in the store saw this, he quickly came over to help get the books.
"The accents of some of the guest officials sound like they are from the north, and our question books are also sold in the capital!"
The waiter just wanted to make a casual conversation, but he didn't expect that because of his words, the guest officer only bought a question book in the end.
Eunuch Li met the waiter's inquiring eyes and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in. If the Supreme Emperor hadn't felt that it was a bit bad not to buy any of them, they might really not have bought any of them.
The tea room on the second floor and the examination paper lending room are jointly operated. As long as you book the tea room, you can borrow them.
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and took over the three adjacent tea rooms. Fortunately, the provincial examination had just ended and there were not many scholars in Zhiqu Building.
The Supreme Emperor drank the tea made by Eunuch Li himself and slowly looked through several rural examination question books. Not every state and provincial examination examination paper would be sent to the capital.
Therefore, it was the first time for even the Supreme Emperor to see many of the title books. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that he had missed out on many talents.
Nearly two hours passed in a flash, and the Supreme Emperor finally put down the question book and gently rubbed his eye sockets, which were a little sore.
"Shen Qing, has your father sent any news to the Xiao family?"
The Supreme Emperor sent a message back to Beijing a few days ago, asking Shen Zhi to send someone to investigate the Xiao family, but no information has been sent yet!
Shen Qing's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched it for a moment, then quickly let it go.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to know? Maybe... I know!"
"you know?"
"Well, I have been helping my father organize information since I was ten years old. I have always been organizing the Xiao family's part!"
Liang Shengrui stopped rubbing his forehead, looked sideways at Shen Qing, and asked curiously.
"Xiao Qingshan is just acting as the governor of the state. Logically speaking, the Xiao family's information cannot be on Shen Zhi's desk. How do you have the Xiao family's information?"
Shen Qing: "..."
Shen Qing was silent for a moment, thought for a moment before speaking slowly.
"After Li Guogong left the capital, someone was keeping an eye on Li Guogong's whereabouts. The same goes for Mr. Xie..."
Shen Qing said it tactfully, but without any guilt. These are just the daily tasks of his father, Shen Zhi, and all officials who meet the requirements are under control.
Liang Shengrui nodded, this situation is normal, but what information can be recorded in the Xiao family?
……
Outsiders did not know that the Supreme Emperor had visited Shiqulou. Huang Zhengqing only became suspicious when he checked the accounts a few days later and noticed something strange in the account books!
However, by that time, the Xiao brothers and sisters had already left Xuzhou with the Supreme Emperor!
Mingjun only knew before that Mingjia bought wasteland and hills in Xuzhou, and had no involvement in the specific management.
During this period of contact, Mingjun admired Mingjia's business talent even more. Mingjia was always full of ideas.
Ten days passed very quickly, and there were still many things in Xuzhou that Mingjun needed to understand and get in touch with!
In the end, time was running out. Mingjia still planned to talk to Chen Shao'ang about the patent medicine, so she discussed with her brother that they should do things separately.
"Okay! I'll continue to follow Shopkeeper Huang, and you go meet Uncle Shao'ang!"
"Shop Manager Huang, let's hurry up and deal with it. Jiawen may arrive in Xuzhou tomorrow. Let's try to give you and your son one more day to get along!"
"Hey~! Okay! Okay!"
When Huang Zhengqing heard for the first time that his son was coming to Xuzhou, he was so excited!
When Ming Jun said that Jiawen would accompany the Supreme Emperor to travel south of the Yangtze River this time, Huang Zhengqing almost lifted up his robe and knelt down in front of the Xiao brothers and sisters!
Both Mingjun and Mingjia thought Huang Zhengqing was excited, but in the end they found out that he was frightened, and kept begging Mingjun to give more advice to Jiawen.
Huang Zhengqing understood very well the saying that being with a king is like being with a tiger. This was how the huge Huang family collapsed overnight.
"Shopkeeper Huang, please get up quickly! Jiawen is also my junior brother, so I will help if I can! Besides, my junior uncle has returned to Beijing, so Jiawen has someone to protect him!"
Some of the fear hidden in his heart could not be eliminated by Ming Jun with just a few words, but because of the mention of Xie Boyu, Huang Zhengqing calmed down a lot.
……
"Sir! There is a young master named Xiao Mingjia outside. I want to see him! He says he is the son of an old friend of yours!"
Chen Shao'ang was writing an official document when he suddenly heard the yamen officer coming to report. He quickly put down his brush and asked the yamen officer to bring Ming Jia in!
"My nephew Mingjia has met Uncle Shao'ang!"
Ming Jia was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had many accessories around her waist. She bowed to Chen Shao'ang in a proper manner, looking like a young master from aristocratic family.
