Chapter 110

After returning home, Cheng Yeran told Shen Yuntang the good news: "Zhao Yanlin agreed to let Lin Yu help us open a store in Beijing. You don't have to worry anymore."
"Really?" Shen Yuntang had been worried about this matter, fearing that Zhao Yanlin would not agree to Lin Yu going out to open a store. After all, if Zhao Yanlin really passed the exam and became an official, and Lin Yu became an official's wife, it would not look good for her to go out and do business.
Although many officials or their family members have shops outside, they mostly hand them over to others to manage and they just need to collect the debts.
If he opened a shop himself, he wondered if he would be laughed at.
"It's fine now. I'll tell Lin Yu tomorrow. Lin Yu will definitely be happy to hear it." Shen Yuntang was afraid that Lin Yu would give up his job, be locked up in the back house, and become himself in his previous life.
In my previous life, although I was an official’s wife, it was not as good as I had imagined.
He is just a country boy without any family background. Xia Xiaowu married the daughter of a high-ranking official in order to climb the social ladder. He feels that Zhao Yanlin's character is not very good either. He will definitely be a higher official than Xia Xiaowu and will have more temptations. Lin Yu's life will become even more difficult at that time. However, opening a shop outside and saving some money is better than having nothing.
"Don't worry too much about him. What if he becomes an official's wife in the future and looks down on our store? Then everything you have done will be in vain." Cheng Yeran felt sorry for him because he always wanted to help others, but he also liked the kindness in Shen Yuntang.
"Lin Yu is not that kind of person. He won't allow himself to fall." Shen Yuntang knew that Lin Yu was different from before. He had enjoyed the feeling of being in control of his own destiny and would not be willing to be locked in a cage.
"Being an official's wife is also a way of degrading yourself? Don't tell anyone else about this, otherwise people will say you are Versailles." Cheng Yeran didn't know what would happen after Zhao Yanlin went to the capital, and who Lin Yu would come into contact with in the future. People will change as they come into contact with more people and things.
"After all, they are still a couple. What if Zhao Yanlin treats Lin Yu better and Lin Yu rekindles his old feelings for him, and then tells him all the methods you and Liu Ya taught him to deal with Zhao Yanlin and his mother-in-law, Zhao Yanlin will definitely hate you." Cheng Yeran was worried that his kindness would cause trouble. He held Shen Yuntang's hand and said, "In the future, you should stay out of other people's emotional affairs. This time it's Zhao Yanlin. What if a ruthless character comes next time and thinks you want to deliberately break up their relationship and comes to kill you in anger? How can I live? I can only fight him to the death."
Cheng Yeran said as she put her arms around his waist in a coquettish and weak manner, "Promise me that you will put yourself first in the future, okay?"
Shen Yuntang rubbed his head, "I know. I just hope that my friend is well. I can judge people by their appearance. I won't help everyone. I only think so much because I think Lin Yu is a good person. I promise you that I won't interfere in other people's emotional problems in the future."
…
In the spring of the following year, Yang Shiming passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer, and Zhao Yanlin also became the third place. The two of them brought honor to the academy and attracted more students to the academy.
Cheng Yeran was also happy for them and personally sent them out of the city.
Yang Shiming said that he would write to him when he arrived in Beijing, asking him to concentrate on his studies and see him in the capital later.
Zhao Yanlin told him to pass the exam as soon as possible, otherwise if they were sent to other places to serve as officials, they might not see each other for the rest of their lives.
Shen Yuntang also said goodbye to Lin Yu and gave him a silver note of five thousand taels. He had previously inquired with Lao Zhao and learned that prices in the capital were very high, and renting a house was even more expensive.
It costs hundreds of taels to rent a normal shop, but thousands of taels are common.
He asked Lin Yu to go there and choose a shop to rent first, and then they would sell soaps and magazines, and they would find a way to deliver these things to him. However, they still had to find someone to deliver the goods, and Lao Zhao would definitely not deliver the goods for them, so they had to get their own transportation insurance.
He did not teach Lin Yu how to make sausages, and making sausages was too tiring and not suitable for Lin Yu, an official's wife, to do.
"Write to me after you've settled down. It'll take time for you to move, and it'll take time to choose a shop. It'll probably take three to five months. Don't worry, take your time." Shen Yuntang held his hand. He had watched Lin Yu grow up little by little, and he treated Lin Yu as his own brother. Now that his brother had left, and went to such a faraway place, and had to deal with a whole family, he felt sad.
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself
The wind
If you can choose a good house, just rent it. If the business is not doing well, ask Yuanbao to go to the capital, so as to save the cost of transporting the soap. "Cheng Yeran saw Shen Yuntang was so worried and tried to comfort them.
Yuanbao also came to see them off, "I also want to open a shop in the capital, that way I will definitely make more money! Why don't you go there too, my cousin? Can't we all move there and take the exam in the capital?"
"No." Yang Shiming came over to explain to them that when he takes the next exam for the Juren degree, he has to take it in the province where his household registration is located, and only then can he go to the capital to take the exam.
Yuan Bao scratched his head and said, "So that's how it is. I understand. Thank you for explaining it to me. Otherwise, I would have made a fool of myself again."
Liu Ya came over with tears in her eyes and hugged Lin Yu, "I will miss you, you have to be well, and we will reunite when my cousin and I go to Beijing."
Lin Yu patted his back and said, "I can't bear to leave you either. You are the first friend I have ever made. Thank you for your care."
He regarded Liu Ya as a friend and Shen Yuntang as a brother. It should be said that he regarded the whole family as his relatives. He liked being with them, eating, studying, chatting and laughing together on weekdays. If possible, he really wanted to stay in this courtyard for the rest of his life.
Zhao Yanlin watched all this from behind. He felt that they were like a family, while he was like an outsider.
He has already changed, so why is Lin Yu getting further and further away from him? Doesn't Lin Yu like him being like this? Do you prefer the original cold him?
He felt that his guess was correct. If he treated Lin Yu well, Lin Yu would no longer love him. He should not be too eager. He should be cold to him for a while, letting Lin Yu experience the fear of losing him, then Lin Yu would know how to cherish him.
…
There were many people who passed the exam in the academy. A group of people left and a group of new people came. Cheng Yeran's side became quite quiet, but fortunately there was Zhou Hua.
Zhou Hua said that his performance was unstable and he did not dare to take the exam.
Cheng Yeran also discovered that Zhou Hua was a person who would never take action unless he was absolutely sure. He was too calm and was not willing to gamble on anything.
Cheng Yeran was different. He would try it as long as he was 100% sure. He asked Zhou Hua, "When are you going to take the exam?"
"Next year or the year after." Zhou Hua's level is actually good enough to participate with Yang Shiming and others, but Zhou Hua said that Yang Shiming and Zhao Yanlin's results will definitely be higher than his, so he decided not to compete with them.
"When you take the exam next year or the year after, call me along. You said that if you took the exam with Yang Shiming, your ranking would be lowered, but if you take the exam with me, your ranking will be raised," Cheng Yeran said jokingly.
"Don't say that. You have unlimited potential. You were admitted to Class A last year and are now in the middle of the class. If you take the exam with me, I'm afraid I'll be suppressed by you." Painter Zhou's family business is connected with Cheng Yeran's family business. Before, Cheng Yeran had invested a sum of money in his father, almost one thousand taels.
Their family business used to be bad, and his father said that it would be great if they could earn one thousand taels in their lifetime. But after he took over Cheng Yeran's family business, they made over a thousand taels in two years. Now Cheng Yeran has invested another thousand taels, and with the addition of magazines in the future, he will make even more money.
His father treated Cheng Yeran as a junior on the surface, but in his heart he considered Cheng Yeran a benefactor.
Because of family business, Zhou Hua became closer and closer to Cheng Yeran. Although he could not help Cheng Yeran with his studies like Yang Shiming could, the two of them were now at a similar level and could study together.
Shen Yuntang tried to open a franchise store in the next county. Cheng Yeran explained the franchise method to him. The other party paid the franchise fee, they decorated the store and placed advertisements in magazines, and the franchisee had to buy seasonings from them.
Shen Yuntang asked his fourth brother to take him there to look at the store location. The location was good and they could start decorating.
From then on, Fourth Brother would bring them seasonings every few days.
Now that we are close, we can deliver the seasonings like this. But in the future, when we are far away and open stores all over the country, how will we transport the seasonings?
The seasonings he uses now are all purchased online from the future. He can make them himself, but he can't make so much by himself. He still needs to open a factory and transport them...
Transportation has become a big problem. It would be great if we could have an express delivery company like in the future, with express delivery points set up in every city. Not only can we transport goods ourselves, but we can also help others transport goods and earn express delivery fees.
When he returned home, he saw Tugen talking with Luwei.
The two of them have been very close recently. After Lin Yu left, Liu Ya went to the front to sell sausages, while Lu Wei and Tu Gen took care of the sausage matters.
The two people fell in love with each other over time. Although they did not get together in public, everyone around them could see the affection in their eyes.
Shen Yuntang was a little worried. Tugen's parents were a problem. Lu Wei's previous marriage was bad enough, and she was afraid that Tugen's parents would make things difficult for her in her new husband's home.
Shen Yuntang had promised Cheng Yeran not to interfere in other people's emotional problems, but at night he couldn't help but talk to Cheng Yeran about it.
Cheng Yeran thought for a moment and said, "We will have to leave here sooner or later, and the business here needs to be handed over to someone we can trust. If the two of them are together, we can let them stay and manage the shop here."
"Don't worry, I'll go find Tugen and ask him what he thinks, and you go find Luwei and ask her what she thinks, how about that?" Cheng Yeran asked him.
"Okay, after all, one is my cousin and the other is your nephew. It's not considered as meddling in other people's business, right?" Shen Yuntang asked him.
"Don't be so obedient. I have told you that it's best not to interfere in other people's emotional issues, but it's better to do whatever you want to do according to your own heart." Cheng Yeran said.
"You are my husband, so of course I have to respect your opinion." Shen Yuntang likes to discuss everything with him, not because he has no opinion, but because he thinks that they are a family and they should tell each other about anything.
The next day, Cheng Yeran went to find Tugen and asked him what to do: "Lu Wei has been married once before. If you like her and want to marry her, treat her well. She can't be hurt again."
Tugen didn't expect his cousin to see through it. He scratched his head shyly. "If I were to be with her, I would never let her down. But my parents would definitely make things difficult for Luwei. They might even take away all the money she earned. I don't want her to suffer because of my parents. So, I can't be with her. With parents like that, I don't plan to get married in this life."
"If you don't have someone you like, and don't want to get married, that's fine. But if you have someone you like, be brave. There are always more solutions than problems." Cheng Yeran thought about it and asked him, "Why don't you marry into the Shen family? Do you have any objection?"
"Marry into the wife's family?" Tugen was stunned.
"I know that men are very concerned about their reputation and don't want to marry into a woman's family. But after you marry into a woman's family, you will no longer have any relationship with your parents. According to their words, a son who is married off is like water spilled. You don't have to give them the money you earn in the future. They can't control you, and you can be with the person you like. It's very cost-effective." Cheng Yeran didn't know whether he was willing or not. If he didn't agree to marry into a woman's family, he could think of other ways.
"Sure, face doesn't matter to me. Forget about marrying into the family, I can even be someone else's son." Tugen has always envied Mai Miao for being adopted by Shopkeeper Wang. He also wanted to be adopted by Shopkeeper Wang and change his surname to Wang.
"Then it's settled. I'll send you back to the village some other day to discuss with Lu Wei's parents. After you get married to Lu Wei, we'll leave the sausage shop and the soap shop here to you. Keep a good account, and we'll come to collect the bills once a year, and we'll increase your wages." Although Cheng Yeran hadn't taken the exam yet, he already had a hunch that he would leave this small county town and arranged things in advance.
"Let me take care of it? Can I do it?" Tugen was a little timid.
"You'll know if it works after you give it a try. Anyway, we won't leave for the next few years, so let's train you for a year or two first." Cheng Yeran patted Tugen's head, "Silly boy, go for what you like. If you don't hurry up, others will snatch it away."
On the other side, Shen Yuntang also went to talk to Lu Wei. Lu Wei didn't expect Shen Yuntang to see through it. At first, she was stubborn, but later she could only give up and said, "I don't want to get married. Besides, he is three years younger than me, and I am a widow. It's too disadvantageous for him to be with me. With his conditions, he can find someone better. I am not worthy of him."
"He knew you were a widow when he first met you. You didn't hide anything from him, nor did you lie to him. He didn't show any concern. So why can't you be together?" Shen Yuntang wanted her to live a better life in the future. Tugen was a down-to-earth child and would not say anything to suppress her. If Tugen was a bad person, he would have opposed it without Luwei having to say it.
But after Shen Yuntang finished speaking, he remembered that he was still hiding the fact that he was married in his previous life from Cheng Yeran. If he had told Cheng Yeran before they started, it would have been better. If Cheng Yeran minded at that time, the two of them would not have started. If Cheng Yeran didn't mind, he wouldn't be so upset in the future. Now we can only keep it secret. Anyway, the past life has nothing to do with this life. As long as he doesn't say it, no one will know.
Just as he was thinking, Tugen came in from outside and stood in front of Luwei with some excitement, "I want to marry you. I don't mind that you are a widow, and age is not a problem either."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Wei and looked at him. He scratched his head shyly and said shyly, "It is said that a woman three years older than a man is rich. You are exactly three years older than me, and I am not as well off as you think. I also have a lot of problems at home. Uncle Cheng told me just now that he wants me to marry into your family. If you agree, I will take your surname, Shen.

. ”
Shen Yuntang and Lu Wei both widened their eyes in shock. Before he could convince Lu Wei to accept his feelings, Cheng Yeran had already persuaded Tugen to marry into his family! This is too efficient.
