In the end, Shen's mother still took into account the feelings of more than ten years, and wrote a letter to Shengjing to inform Shen Ci about this matter.
Even though he could lend a helping hand when Song Fu was in trouble, he should not forget his own identity. The Shen family was not allowed to participate in the dangerous fight for the throne, and he had to control the degree of helping Song Fu.
At the same time, Shen's mother was also silently thinking in her heart that this would be her last time to be soft-hearted. It was difficult to let go of her adopted daughter of more than ten years in an instant, and she still needed time to comfort her.
As for Shen Jia who left, he never thought that Song Fu would have the nerve to say such words. When the Shen family was slandered and exiled to the northern border, it was secretly the work of the third prince Zhao Yuantan. Now she actually dares to pretend to be kind to the Shen family and let them return to Shengjing. She is really shameless!
Moreover, these two people were the culprits who caused Shen Jia's death in the book. It was polite of her not to come to them to settle the score, but they even dared to write to them to ask for her Liuli Pavilion. When Shen Jia thought of this, she was so angry that she had no place to vent.
She became increasingly annoyed and walked towards the Glazed Pavilion, checking on the progress of the telescope's production.
Now, it is not just the ones that Yan Xu requested before that need to be made. When the imperial edict to confer the title of county lady arrived, the court also asked Shen Jia to quickly make a batch to provide to other border military camps.
The queue for telescopes at Liuli Pavilion was quite crowded right now. She had just arrived at the door when she saw the shopkeeper running towards her from the counter.
He lowered his voice and said, "Boss, someone just came to see you. I invited them to the room at the back of the first floor. I just sent someone out to the Shen Mansion to look for you, but I didn't expect you to show up at the door yourself."
The shopkeeper's attitude is not normal. After all, with the popularity of Liuli Pavilion, he has met countless dignitaries, and few of them make him so humble.
So Shen Jia asked curiously, "Who is this person? You don't look like an ordinary customer. What's going on? Is this another big deal?"
"No, no, General Yan is here, and the news of his cooperation with the Shen family has long spread throughout the northern border. Don't worry if you laugh at me, but I'm a little scared when facing such a person."
The shopkeeper's eyes and actions did not seem fake, and Shen Jia was also curious, why would Yan Xu come to Hezhou at this time?
"I'll go take a look. Please serve some good tea and snacks."
As soon as she walked into the door, familiar guards stood on both sides. Now they were very familiar with Shen Jia, so they took the initiative to open the door and invite her in.
Shen Jia looked at Yan Xu, who was sitting upright in the room. He walked over the threshold slowly, bowed with a smile, and said, "General Yan, you have a distinguished guest. I should have reminded you earlier. It would be disrespectful if you were a little late."
The moment he saw Shen Jia, Yan Xu suddenly stood up from his chair and replied:
"This visit was a last-minute decision, and I couldn't inform you in advance. Please take a seat, Lady Jiahe."
Shen Jia felt a little unfamiliar when she heard this name, because she was already used to her own name. When facing her subordinates and relatives and friends, she asked them to continue calling her by that name.
So even after such a long time, she is still not used to this name.
But this seemed to make their meeting more formal. She sat down and filled herself a cup of tea. Wisps of white mist rose from the tea.
Shen Jia asked curiously, "I wonder what's the matter with General Yan's visit this time?"
Hearing Shen Jia's question, Yan Xu suddenly choked on his own saliva and couldn't help coughing, "Cough!"
Then he pretended to be calm, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a big sip, suppressed the impulse surging in his chest, and regained his composure.
He said calmly, "Last time I wrote to the Princess of Jiahe, requesting that we expedite the production of telescopes for the Yan Family Army soldiers. I wonder how the progress is now? The military situation at the border is extremely urgent, and we also hope to get the things to us as soon as possible."
Shen Jia recalled the progress he had recently observed in the workshop and explained:
"The ten telescopes General Yan requested can be completed in the next two days. If you don't mind waiting in Hezhou for a day or two, General Yan can take the telescopes back himself."
Yan Xu didn't expect the progress to be so fast. It seems that his skills have improved a lot recently.
Because he had given the telescope that Shen Jia had given him to the weapon craftsmen in the army to study, and he said that the technique of magnifying and reducing by rotation was not simple.
If Yan Xu had not been unwilling to contribute his telescope, the craftsmen would probably have disassembled it for research.
Now he had no choice but to make a few more and give them to the craftsman for research. Moreover, when he just entered the Glazed Pavilion, he found that there were many simple versions in the shop, but it seemed that the effect was not as good as this one that was only for the military.
You can buy a few when you leave. Who knows what miraculous effects they might have in battle?
"That's good. We'll probably need a few more days to patrol the border. We'll come back to bother you again on our return trip."
"General Yan, you are so polite. Don't worry, I will definitely be the first one to finish making your batch of telescopes. Even for the emperor's request, I can finish after you."
Hearing Shen Jia blurt out "Young General Yan," Yan Xu suddenly felt that calling him that made him look younger, even though he was clearly a few years older than Shen Jia.
Moreover, the two of them had met several times before, but their communication was still awkward and polite. For the first time, he hated his cold appearance.
But he didn't know how to change it. After realizing that Shen Jia hadn't responded, he changed the subject.
"When I came in just now, I saw that the cabinets on both sides of the shop were still storing a lot of instruments with similar effects to telescopes. I wonder if the Jiahe County Lady would be willing to introduce them to you?"
Hearing that he was going to have another deal, Shen Jia was so happy that the smile on his face deepened.
She immediately stood up and invited Yan Xu:
"Why not? General Yan, please. The magnifying glasses in our shop are definitely not as effective as telescopes, but they are definitely enough for appreciation. Many dignitaries and nobles also like these things, so we have a large stock in the shop."
Well, Yan Xu immediately thought that he might have picked the wrong topic again, but he didn't know how to change it for a moment, so he had to bite the bullet and go to the Liuli Pavilion with Shen Jia.
The two walked out of the room one after the other. Shen Jia led them to the location where the magnifying glass was placed and began to introduce:
"This is the glass magnifying glass we use in our shop. Currently, it only has one function: magnification. The magnification levels have been set long ago. The description below clearly states the magnification factor for each. Besides the magnifying effect, this magnifying glass can also be used as a tinder in the wild with the help of sunlight..."
The way Shen Jia talked while working was fascinating, and Yan Xu couldn't help but listen attentively and followed Shen Jia closely.
A tall and graceful man unconsciously restrained his aura, lowered his head slightly, his eyes full of the woman in front of him, like a leopard with its claws removed, inexplicably gentle.
A person tapped her hands gently, exuding confidence all over her body, unconsciously attracting the attention of everyone in the field, but she was completely unaware of it.
Especially when viewed from behind, the two seemed to be clinging to each other tightly, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were a newlywed couple.
Lin Tongyu, who happened to be coming downstairs, suddenly saw this scene. She naturally recognized Shen Jia's figure.
Ever since she defeated her half-sister in Zhenwei Pavilion, she treated Shen Jia as her own, and later helped Zhenwei Pavilion open up the market in the northern border.
Hearing that Shen Jia was the daughter of her father's colleague, she felt even closer to her. As for the beautiful place called Liuli Pavilion, it was naturally a place she would visit once a month.
When she ran into Shen Jia standing with the man today, she felt that they were a perfect match, especially since her life would be happier after she got married. She also hoped that Shen Jia could find someone to spend the rest of his life with as soon as possible.
So Lin Tongyu suddenly made a happy sound at the corner of the stairs:
"Jia Niang! It's been a while since we last met. Every time I visit Liuli Pavilion, the shopkeeper always says you're busy. Today, I finally caught you. Who's this gentleman next to you? He looks unfamiliar to me."
Shen Jia was originally introducing something to Yan Xu in a low voice when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him. He turned around and saw that it was indeed Lin Tongyu, the outgoing person.
She put down Yan Xu beside her and said with a smile:
"You're a married woman now, so I can't ask you out often. Your husband will get angry."
Lin Tongyu was helpless as she watched Shen Jia still in the mood to tease her. She laughed so hard that her body shook. "You have a really powerful mouth."
Shen Jia went on to introduce them, "This is the wife of the Hezhou governor, and this is our great general in the northern border—General Yan."
Lin Tongyu didn't expect that the other party's identity was so noble, but now Shen Jia is also a county lord, and it is enough to match her with General Yan. The flame in her heart that was about to go out was instantly ignited.
He quickly saluted and said, "How are you, General Yan?"
"Miss Lin, there's no need to be so polite."
"Since you two have important matters to discuss, I will leave first."
Lin Tongyu, who originally wanted to bring the two together, suddenly felt that she could inquire about the news later when she heard Yan Xu's voice. The aura of Yan Xu was not something that anyone could ignore.
And the moment Yan Xu's eyes swept over her, she felt that her flesh and blood were about to solidify, so it would be better to leave quickly.
Shen Jia also felt that the atmosphere was a little off for a moment, but it disappeared the next second, and she thought it was her own illusion.
Seeing that Lin Tongyu wanted to leave immediately, she did not continue to persuade her to stay. After all, she had already gone downstairs and had just meant to leave.
"Have a good trip. We can just meet at your house next time."
"See you next time."
Shen Jia watched Lin Tongyu leave, and suddenly Yan Xu's voice came from beside him.
"I just heard the introduction from the Jiahe County Lord. Our barracks needs thirty magnifying glasses like these. Could we get them along with the telescopes?"
