Chapter 266 Aren’t you in the store?
Wen Zhenyi buried himself in the water. There were so many things to do, and he also had to lead the villagers to become rich together.
She temporarily decided to go back to the village tomorrow and discuss with her family what to do next before making a decision.
After a comfortable sleep, I was still woken up by the noise of diners in the store.
As soon as Wen Zhen got up, washed and went out, he saw a familiar figure sitting in the yard.
Cream was playing with him.
"Brother Shen."
Chen Hanxing turned to look at Wen Zhenyi who was standing at the door, a gentle smile on his face: "Did I wake you up?"
As soon as Wen Zhenyi walked over and sat down next to him, Cream ran into her arms and lay down: "No, when did you come?"
"When Brother Lin went to deliver breakfast, he said you were back, so I came to see you."
Wen Zhenyi looked at him carefully and said, "You seem to have lost weight again."
Shen Hanxing raised his hand and wiped his face: "Is there?"
He had been trying to eat as much as possible recently, but his appetite wasn't as good as when she was around.
"Yes." Wen Zhenyi thought of something and said, "Wait for me." Then he stuffed the cream in his arms into his hand and went to the room.
She rummaged through the room for a box, took it out and placed it in front of him: "This is for you."
Shen Hanxing put the cream aside, picked up the box and opened it. Inside was a jade token: “Is it for me?”
Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded: "If I think it suits you, I'll buy it for you."
Chen Hanxing took out the jade token. It was warm to the touch and the carving was delicate. He liked it very much: "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Chen Hanxing hung the jade token on his waist and said, "I'm going back to the village to review my studies." Then he handed her the blueprint of the completed house.
Wen Zhenyi took the blueprint and examined it carefully. Every detail on the blueprint was in line with her wishes and there was no need to make any further changes. "I have to go find a craftsman to build a house for my family."
"I know this grandfather. He said that when you build it, tell him and he will send someone to find you. The price is definitely cheap and the workmanship is good."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Grandpa Shen." Wen Zhenyi put away the drawings and looked up at her: "When are you going back?"
"I plan to go back at noon today."
“Is Grandpa Shen going back today too?”
"Today is a day off, and your brother and the others went back yesterday. Grandpa had a dinner party yesterday afternoon, so he didn't go back until today."
"It's just right. I have to go back today too. We'll go together later."
"Okay, I have to go back and pack some things."
"Okay, I'll ask Brother Lin to take us back. I have a lot of things I need to take back."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the academy." After saying that, he got up and left.
Wen Zhenyi returned to the room and took out the gifts for Ji Jia and Zhu Tao, then called Zhu Tao over: "Little Taozi."
Zhu Tao didn't know what she wanted to talk to him about: "Yi Yi, what's wrong?"
"Please sit down first."
Zhu Tao sat across from her: "What's the matter?"
"I'm going back to the village to build a house, so I'll leave the store to you. The autumn harvest is coming soon, and I have to go check on the fertile land the emperor rewarded me with. I can't stay in town for a while."
"Ah! What about this shop?"
"Don't you have a shop?"
"I, I'm afraid I can't do it alone."
"Didn't you do well during my absence?"
Zhu Tao still felt uneasy: "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well."
Wen Zhenyi looked at her with a smile: "You are not the Zhu Tao you used to be. You are very capable now. During the time I was away, you managed the store very well and ran it very well."
Zhu Tao lowered his head and said nothing.
Wen Zhenyi took out a piece of paper and pushed it in front of her.
Zhu Tao now also knows some words, and Lin Jie will teach her when he is free. The two get along well.
When the shop is closed, Zhu Tao will help take care of Uncle Lin.
She saw the words "Selling Body Contract" on the paper, and then saw her own name. She suddenly looked up at Wen Zhenyi: "Yi Yi, what are you doing?"
"Although you only get one or two ounces of silver per month during this period, the things you've done have already far surpassed that. This indenture should be returned to you."
Zhu Tao pushed the indenture in front of Wen Zhenyi: "Yi Yi, I don't want to redeem myself, I want to stay here."
"Even if you redeem yourself, I don't want you to leave."
"I can only feel at ease if you have the indenture in my hand. I'm a fool and afraid of being cheated. But if you have the indenture in my hand, no one can cheat me."
Wen Zhenyi was a little dumbfounded. How could it be calculated this way?
Zhu Tao raised her head and smiled brightly. "Besides, the indenture is in your hands. You can use me with confidence, and I can feel at ease. I'm afraid that one day someone will use sweet words to deceive me, and I will lose my restraint and hurt you and Grandma Wen and the others."
Wen Zhenyi raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "Have you thought about it carefully? If you want to get married in the future, do you need my approval?"
"That's good. You can help me check things out, and I won't suffer any loss."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and shook his head, took the indenture back, and handed her a box: "I bought gifts for you in the county town. This is yours. Please give these to Aunt Ji and Brother Lin for me later."
Zhu Tao opened the box and saw a bracelet inside: "This is too valuable."
"It's not expensive or not. It's just a gift to me." He took her hand and put the bracelet on her. "The size is just right."
Zhu Tao looked at the bracelet on her hand, a little dazed: "Thank you."
"Thank you for what? I'll leave the shop to you when I get back this time. If you run into any trouble, just send someone to tell me that I'll be going to the county town on the 15th of every month."
"Okay, I will definitely take good care of this shop."
Lin Jie also received a gift, but his gift was a purse with a few taels of silver in it. Aunt Ji and her daughter received silver jewelry, and Uncle Ji and his son also received silver.
Everyone was very grateful, but Wen Zhenyi didn't care. People worked diligently for him, so giving them a little reward wasn't a big deal.
When the busiest time of the morning came, Lin Jie helped Wen Zhenyi load the things onto the carriage.
He also went to the academy to pick up Mr. Shen and his grandson.
The belongings of several people filled up the entire carriage, and it was a bit crowded to sit in the carriage.
The old horse in Lin Jie's family was quite old and could not run anymore, so it could only pull them slowly towards the village.
Wen Zhenyi thought for a moment and said, "Brother Lin, when you return to town, go to the gambling house to find Dazhuang and ask him to give you a horse."
Lin Jie was a little confused: "What?"
"I bought some horses when I came back yesterday. They're hard to keep in the shop, so I'm asking them to take care of them for a while. Your horse is old, so let it rest well."
"Miss Wen, I don't have that much money to buy a horse."
"I didn't ask for money. Changing the horse is also to make it easier for you to deliver food. When you stop working here, you have to return the horse to me. If you want to buy it, you can buy it with money."
