A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,224 The Shen Family’s Brand Is Unimpeded

On the last day of the second year of Zhiping, Bianliang City became a city that never sleeps. Many people went out with their families and enjoyed this rare and pleasant time.

"Beef, beef from the Liao Kingdom, roasted tender and tender, and brushed with the secret sauce passed down by Shen County Duke, I guarantee that you will come back after eating it!"

The Song Dynasty became more and more confident, so the trade volume of the market also increased.

The Liao people flocked to all kinds of goods from the Song Dynasty, and the only things that the Liao Kingdom could afford the Song Dynasty were cattle and sheep. There used to be cotton cloth, but now that the Song Dynasty produces its own cotton, it is natural that the cotton cloth from the Liao Kingdom is no longer rare.

When the cattle from the Liao Kingdom entered the Song Dynasty, most of them could only be turned into beef for the enjoyment of the rich and powerful, followed by these traders who offered good prices to get it.

The smell of roast beef... Chen Zhongheng recalled the times he had eaten it at the Shen family, and asked with a smile: "Yan Yue, you must have eaten beef in the northwest, right?"

"I've eaten, a lot." The Fan people in the northwest have cattle and sheep. When they kill cattle, the price of beef is not expensive. The caravan is probably willing to buy dozens of kilograms to trim it, and roasting is the most used one. way of cooking.

"Two skewers."

Chen Zhongheng bought two skewers of roast beef and showed the Shen's brand out of curiosity. The vendor took one look at it, then looked at Chen Zhongheng and Yan Yue, and said, "Your Majesty, just go ahead."

"You don't want money?" Chen Zhongheng asked, "Aren't you afraid that someone is a liar?"

Yan Yue also looked at the hawker curiously. In her opinion, this kind of brand can only be used in high-end places.

The hawker glanced at Chen Zhongheng again and said seriously: "In Bianliang, except for Mr. Shen's enemies, no one dares to pretend to be Mr. Shen, otherwise he will not be able to escape."

"What should I do if someone runs away?" Chen Zhongheng rarely has the opportunity to leave the palace and can be called a rookie.

The hawker smiled and said: "Here we are..."

He pointed to a row of hawkers nearby, "We have all seen you. If you are a liar, let's go back... County Lord Shen knows a painter who can draw people very like them. When the time comes, we will draw you, unless you never come here again. Bianliang, otherwise you won’t be able to escape.”

"So powerful?" Yan Yue has walked through the tough Northwest and visited lush big cities, but she has never seen anyone so powerful.

The hawker said seriously: "Mr. Shen is in Bianliang... We have all received favors from him, so... the scammer had better not come, otherwise it will be very miserable."

Yan Yue was speechless. Chen Zhongheng took the barbecue and finally asked: "Then why do you ask for money?"

The hawker looked at him like he was looking at a fool, "Just go to Yulin Alley."

"Then the Shen family is not afraid that you are cheating money?" Yan Yue felt that something was wrong and full of loopholes.

"Cheating money?" The hawker laughed, "I don't want the money, but Mr. Shen, the old man, said that the Shen family is not short of money. It's not easy for us to make money in small businesses, so we don't have to bear this. I'm willing to go to Yulin Lane. Otherwise, according to Mr. Shen's kindness to a certain person, these two skewers of barbecue are nothing. I'll just give them to you for free."

"Is that so?" Yan Yue has seen a lot of intrigues and deceptions, and now she can't help but be a little surprised to see such a frank relationship.

The roast beef was delicious. The two of them had a skewer each, and then went to a wine shop.

The wine shop was full, and Yan Yue said regretfully: "There is a teller here. They say he is very good."

There is a table in the front of the main hall, and a man is sitting behind the table, talking about something.

"Two distinguished guests, the shop is full... Hey."

Chen Zhongheng took out the sign. When the waiter saw it, he held it in his hand and said, "Is he from County Duke Shen? It's easy to talk to. Please wait a moment."

The waiter went in, and after a while the shopkeeper came out, walked to the customers in front and whispered something.

That's the best position, I can clearly hear what Mr. said.

Several guests turned around and glanced at Chen Zhongheng, then got up and went to share a table next to him.

Then the table was quickly cleaned, and the shopkeeper came over to greet him personally, smiling and saying: "I'm neglecting you two."

"Don't dare." Yan Yue didn't expect this brand to have such ability, and was really dumbfounded.

After the two of them sat down, the food and drinks were served like a stream of water.

"...Then Yelu Hongji was so angry that he screamed, pointed at Yanmen Pass and said, whoever breaks this city and kills Shen An, I will make him the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses..."

Chen Zhongheng whispered: "This is about the Battle of Yanmen Pass."

Yan Yue nodded.

Storytelling is a new profession in the Song Dynasty, and it first originated from the book "The Story of the Stone".

The gentleman held a folding fan in his hand, pointed to the void and said: "Those Liao people rushed over like crazy, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty shot arrows one after another, and the sky was filled with blood for a while!"

"... Prime Minister Bao stood on the top of the city and shouted to Yelu Hongji, Yelu Hongji, I am waiting for you here today. If you are brave, just come!"

"good!"

The diners all applauded.

Seeing that their faces were red and excited, Yan Yue smiled and said, "When I heard the news in the northwest, I was also very happy. I drank too much that night."

"Women should drink less." Chen Zhongheng said seriously: "Drinking too much is not good..."

"The northwest is bitterly cold." Yan Yue said calmly.

Are you unhappy?

Chen Zhongheng quickly added: "This is what An Bei said. He studied under the miraculous doctor Mangshan and is always right."

Yan Yue was surprised: "Does Mr. Shen still have such ability?"

"yes!"

"...Then Duke Shen opened the city gate and led the Song Dynasty warriors to rush out. He was holding a long black knife, no one could stop him! The Liao general rushed over and wanted to capture Duke Shen alive, but the two After just one meeting, General Liao was caught by County Duke Shen, threw him on the ground, and ordered him to be tied up... When Yelu Hongji got the news, he couldn't help but cry to the sky, and then spit out a few mouthfuls of blood... This is County Shen The Duke captured the enemy general alive and angered Yelu Hongji..."

"good!"

The night is getting darker, and there are still many people on the street.

The Fan Tower was brightly lit with lights everywhere, laughter was endless, and it could be said that the house was full of distinguished guests.

Chen Zhongheng took out the sign, and someone immediately led them upstairs.

"This is it. This is the best guest room here." The shopkeeper introduced the situation very attentively, "There are three meals a day. You can just tell me what you want to eat."

Yan Yue cupped her hands and said, "Thank you very much."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "That way I won't bother you anymore."

After he went down, Yan Yue looked at Chen Zhongheng and said, "You will owe a favor..."

As the leader of the caravan, Yan Yue knows that favors are not indebted, and today's enjoyment may turn into tomorrow's troubles.

"This is nothing." Chen Zhongheng said with a smile: "X and An Bei are on good terms. He does his best for X, and he does his best for X, no matter how high or low he is."

Seeing his sincerity, Yan Yue nodded and said, "It's just that I owe you..."

"You said this..." Chen Zhongheng blushed, "Are you saying this because you look down on someone?"

The chamberlain has less work to do, and his heart is particularly sensitive and fragile.

Yan Yue sighed softly, "I am just a woman who hangs out among men, fights with men, and competes with men for business... Many times I feel that I am a man... Who can look down on a woman like me?"

"X!" Chen Zhongheng took a step forward, then lowered his head, "You are fine. X knows that you are fine."

He only felt a fire burning in his chest, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

"If you have anything to do, just come and see me." He didn't know what to say, but he felt ashamed, "It's hard over there in the northwest, you... don't have to work so hard in the future."

Yan Yue nodded, "Okay."

Did she say yes?

Chen Zhongheng raised his head happily, looked at this slightly dark face, and smiled: "Do you want to settle down in Bianliang in the future?"

Yan Yue was confused for a moment, "I have no family. Wherever I go, my family is there."

This poor woman!

Chen Zhongheng's heart ached, "You... you might as well settle down in Bianliang. I'll go make arrangements."

"I have money." Yan Yue said very calmly: "The caravan was left by my father. The Yan family has been doing business for many years and has some savings."

Chen Zhongheng was a little dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that Yan Yue was not short of money, so what else could a man like him do?

Shame on you!

"So... so-and-so also has some money." Chen Zhongheng said awkwardly: "But if you want to settle down, just tell so-and-so and he will ask someone to do it."

He thought that if the emperor's servants bought a house, there would definitely be a discount, and the procedures would be very convenient.

Yan Yue nodded, then covered her mouth and yawned, "Okay, I'll think about it later."

Be careful when settling in Bianliang!

Chen Zhongheng was anxious, wishing she could live in Bianliang immediately and never leave again.

"Well... the prices of houses in Bianliang will continue to rise in the future..." Chen Zhongheng looked at Yan Yue and said seriously: "This is what An Bei said. He is the richest man in the Song Dynasty and has the best ability to make money. Awesome, he said so, I believe it."

"Really?" Yan Yue was moved.

She has some savings in her hands, but it is useless to leave them alone!

Prices in the Song Dynasty are generally rising slowly, and if you leave your money, it will continue to depreciate. She knows this, what can she do?

"I don't want to use the money to lend money. I always feel that it is drinking human blood, so I would rather keep it at home..."

What a good woman!

Chen Zhongheng couldn't help but rejoice when he heard this, "Okay! Don't worry, Anbei said that if you buy a house in Bianliang, you will definitely make a profit. If you live in it for ten years and then sell it, you are guaranteed to earn more than 30% profit."

"So much?" Yan Yue didn't know the power of real estate, let alone the power of housing prices in Bianliang, where the capital is located.

"He will not lie to someone." Chen Zhongheng said: "Don't worry, in Bianliang... someone has a way to protect you."

Yan Yue nodded and thought for a moment, "Then tomorrow... I won't be able to see the room tomorrow."

"A certain person will be on duty at the Imperial Court tomorrow. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net How is the day after tomorrow going? Just wander around the city while I go to inquire about the news first."

"good."

Yan Yue sent Chen Zhongheng away and entered the room. She couldn't help but be fascinated by the luxurious decoration.

She travels all over the country. As a woman, it would be false to say that she is not miserable. She also wants to settle down.

But she was alone. As a woman, she lacked the softness of a woman. Most of the men who fell in love with her were rude. She had seen those men beating their own women, just like beating robbers.

She would rather never marry such a man.

But what about Chen Zhongheng?

She knew what Chen Zhongheng meant.

This man... is very sincere, but he is a chamberlain!

The chamberlain is missing that thing...

She took a bath and sat on the bed and thought for a long time.
