There was a reason why Shen Liyue didn't agree directly. If it were under normal circumstances, it would just be a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks to eat, which would not be a big deal.
But now Chen Liyue is about to get married, and after the wedding she will marry into Prince Yi's Mansion. If Chen Li follows him, it will be very strange. It doesn't make sense for her to bring her sister with her when she gets married.
If Shen Lizhao cannot marry with him to Prince Yi's Mansion, then he will have to stay in Shen Mansion. The head of Shen Mansion is Jiang, so this matter must be approved by his mother.
Therefore, Shen Liyue had to ask Jiang's opinion on this matter before she could give Shen Lizhao a definite answer.
After a moment of reflection, Chen Liyue said, "My wedding is imminent, and many things are inconvenient. If you want to follow me, I still have to ask my mother for her opinion."
Shen Lizhao didn't expect that Shen Liyue didn't completely reject her. Besides, Shen Liyue said that she would consider it, so Shen Liyue would definitely take this matter to heart.
The elder sister would not lie to her.
So Shen Lizhao solemnly thanked Shen Liyue, but Shen Liyue just pressed her hand and said, "You don't have to thank me yet. I'm not sure if my mother will agree."
Shen Lizhao responded in a low voice.
On the way back, Chen Lizhao was very happy. The only thing that worried him was how to tell Aunt Gao.
Originally, Aunt Gao didn't agree with her decision to learn business from Shen Liyue.
Over the years, Aunt Gao has never considered herself the master, and of course, no one really considers her the master.
Aunt Gao felt that she and Shen Lizhao were both servants of the Shen family. If there was any good thing, it would naturally happen to their master first, and it would not happen to them.
Therefore, Aunt Gao did not expect that Shen Lizhao would take the initiative to stand up and say that he wanted to follow Shen Liyue. As for learning business, even though Shen Lijiao and Shen Jinan, who were sent by He Shi, did not go, it was not Shen Lizhao's turn to go.
So even when Shen Liyue agreed to take Shen Lizhao with her, Aunt Gao still didn't want Shen Lizhao to go.
What's more, now that the family situation is so bad, Shen Lizhao actually wants to move back to the Shen Mansion, Concubine Gao will definitely not agree.
Shen Lizhao was feeling worried, but ran into Shen Wanghong at the doorstep.
Shen Wanghong has never taken this daughter seriously, but now it is different. Shen Wanghong knows that Shen Lizhao is following Shen Liyue now.
So he smiled at Chen Lizhao, a rare sight. "Zhao'er, where are you coming back from?"
Shen Lizhao felt a little uncomfortable with her father's attitude. Her father always acted as if he didn't see her when he saw her, but now he actually took the initiative to talk to her. Shen Lizhao didn't feel flattered, but felt that her father must have bad intentions.
Chen Lizhao restrained his expression and said, "In reply to father, I just came back from my elder sister's place."
Shen Wanghong knew that Shen Lizhao had been following Shen Liyue in recent days, so Shen Lizhao had nothing to hide.
Shen Wanghong's eyes sparkled, and he smiled and asked, "Oh, you're learning business from your elder sister. That's a good thing. So how much silver did your elder sister give you?"
Shen Lizhao guessed that Shen Wanghong would ask this, so he took out the excuse he had thought of long ago: "I just started learning, and I don't know anything yet. Big sister didn't give me any money."
Shen Wanghong was a little unhappy at the time, "Your elder sister asks you to go every day, but she doesn't give you a penny? Then why are you going?"
Chen Lizhao lowered his head: "Big sister said that I am just a beginner and don't understand many things yet. It will be fine after a while. Big sister will teach me how to manage the shop like Yi'an, and then I will have money."
After hearing this, Shen Wanghong immediately laughed again, because he knew that the third house could also make some money by following Shen Liyue now.
If Shen Lizhao can be the same as Shen Yian, then the second house will also have income in the future.
"Okay, okay." Chen Wanghong said, "Just follow your elder sister and study diligently. When you finish your studies, our second branch is counting on you."
Shen Lizhao agreed in a low voice, but a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Shen Wanghong said this without fear of being laughed at. He was the head of the second house. Not to mention that he supported the second house himself, he did not rely on his own legitimate children, but relied on her, a illegitimate daughter who had never been valued.
But Shen Lizhao didn't dare reveal any of these thoughts in front of Shen Wanghong. Seeing that his father was in a good mood, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Father, today my eldest sister said that she hopes I can live with her. It will be convenient for me to learn business in the future. She asked me to come back and ask for your permission."
Shen Wanghong hesitated after hearing this. He didn't know that it was Shen Lizhao who went to ask Shen Liyue for help, and he thought it was Shen Liyue who took the initiative to ask Shen Lizhao to live there.
Without Chen Lizhao, there is also one less person to eat at home. For the second house now, any savings on this expense is a good thing.
But after Shen Lizhao moved in with Shen Liyue, would Shen Lizhao still listen to him obediently? Even if he earned money in the future, would he still be able to send it back to honor himself?
Shen Wanghong was afraid that Shen Lizhao had seen the good days of the eldest wife, and his heart had become wild, and he would no longer be so easy to control.
But the fact that Shen Liyue could take the initiative to let Shen Lizhao live there showed that Shen Lizhao had gained Shen Liyue's trust. This kind of opportunity doesn't come often, and if you don't seize it, you may not have it again in the future.
Just as Shen Wanghong said just now, the only thing the second branch can count on now is Shen Jinan passing the imperial examination, but this path is still uncertain, and the second is Shen Lizhao who is learning business from Shen Liyue.
"Okay." Shen Wanghong thought for a moment and finally agreed, but he asked one more question, "Are you going alone? Your mother has to stay here."
Shen Lizhao gritted his teeth and said, “Yes.”
Originally, it was Chen Lizhao who asked Chen Liyue for it, so it was naturally not appropriate to ask to take his mother with him. What's more, Concubine Gao herself would not agree to go. She felt that she was He's servant, and now that He was sick, it was natural for her to serve He.
So Shen Lizhao didn't even mention in front of Shen Liyue that he wanted to take Aunt Gao with him.
When Shen Wanghong heard Shen Lizhao say this, he felt relieved. As long as Shen Lizhao cared about Gao Shi and Gao Shi stayed here, he was not afraid that Shen Lizhao would not listen to him in the future.
Shen Wanghong agreed, and Shen Lizhao breathed a sigh of relief. Since his father had agreed, it would be easy to go back to Aunt Gao.
After all, Aunt Gao had no opinions of her own and obeyed Shen Wanghong and He in everything.
In fact, Chen Lizhao felt sorry for Concubine Gao. After all, she was his biological mother. They had depended on each other since childhood and had suffered so much. But Concubine Gao just couldn't wake up and always treated him as a servant.
In fact, Chen Liyue had given Chen Lizhao some money these days. After all, he had to go out to do business and couldn't be penniless. Chen Lizhao occasionally bought some good food and wanted to give it to Concubine Gao to make up for her, but Concubine Gao always refused, saying that she wanted to give it to He Shi. Chen Lizhao refused and had a big fight with Concubine Gao.
