After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 214
Hongye's words are both emotion and reminder.

Shen Xian quickly covered his mouth, fearing that disaster would come out of his mouth, now that Zhao Shun was in decline, they couldn't bear to toss about it.

Hongye picked up the scattered snacks from the table, and put a lot of them into her mouth.

"Fortunately, he told me that if it were someone else, this time they would drag you to the government to collect the reward money."

"so serious?"

"Yes, in the capital, the regent does not allow anyone to speak ill of him. Once discovered, he will be executed immediately."

As Hongye talked, her eyes became colder, as if recalling a bad picture.

Shen Xian slandered in his heart, this regent is really a pervert, and hoped that Zhao Shun could bring down such a person as soon as possible.

When the cup of tea was bottomed out, Hongye reached out to grab the plate, only to find that the snacks were gone, and regretfully covered her belly.

Shen Xian noticed her little movements, and couldn't help asking: "Sister Hongye, are you hungry?"

Hongye's expression turned serious, and she shook her head.

"No."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound like gongs and drums in her stomach.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Hongye lowered her eyes, trying to look more calm, but her slightly trembling eyelashes showed that she was not at peace.

What a strong sister...

Shen Xian rolled a pair of peach blossom eyes, and then said in a discussing tone: "Sister Hongye, I said something wrong just now, you keep it secret for me, I owe you a favor, so now I want to treat you to dinner, so that no one will Owe who."

Hongye's eyes lit up, she nodded and said, "What you said makes sense!"

Taking this cold-looking sister Hongye to the restaurant, Shen Xian ordered five dishes.

Four meat dishes and one vegetarian dish are served with a soup.

Looking at the savory stewed beef, Hongye couldn't help rolling her throat. She hasn't seen such a hearty dish for a long time.

"thanks for treatment."

After politely thanking her, Hongye picked up her chopsticks and ate her meal in a leisurely manner, with an expression of enjoyment.

Shen Xian took a sip of each dish, then put down his chopsticks, thinking about what to do with the tricky task of the system.

After eating Hongye for a while, seeing that Shen Xian was absent-minded, she couldn't help reminding: "If you don't eat any more, the food will be cold."

Shen Xian came to his senses, said with a smile: "I don't like to eat these, if I can't finish them, Sister Hongye can pack them up and take them away."

As soon as the words fell, Hongye's expression became visibly happy.

But her happiness was still very short-lived, and she quickly returned to calm.

"Thank you."

Shen Xian gently held his chin, seeing that the red leaves were delicious, as if he had been hungry for a long time.

Originally, Shen Xian wanted to ask Hongye why she was so poor, but thinking of her character, she used a veiled way of saying it.

"Sister Hongye, the chess and card player in Tianque Tower, besides playing rankings, what means do you use to make ends meet?"

Hongye finished the rice grains in the bowl without leaving any, and put down the bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction.

"Most of the people in the mahjong parlor don't have much money, and the entrance fee is very expensive, 50 taels a month. Most people come to the capital by selling pots and pans. If they don't make it to the front in a year or two, they basically only I can go home."

"That is to say, most people have no income and basically rely on family money to support them."

Shen Xian's tone was a bit embarrassing, although Mahjong is popular, but for most people, Mahjong can only be used for entertainment.

There are only a small group of people who can really get ahead by relying on mahjong.

Hongye's expression turned cold, and it took a long time before she regained her composure.

"Yes, just playing the rankings is already exhausting, where do you have time to make money?"

Hearing Hongye's tone, Shen Xian was a bit lonely, and combined with her hungry stomach, it was obvious that this elder sister didn't have much money.

"Since this is the case, why don't you give up? There are many ways to make money in the world, why bother to embarrass yourself in mahjong."

"You won't understand my business, so don't persuade me."

Hongye's tone became colder, and she wanted to end this topic.

Shen Xian pursed her lips, and didn't say any more, she knew that everyone had their own difficulties, and even she herself played mahjong in order to gather good fortune from the gang leader Zhao Shun.

Taking a deep breath, Hongye said slowly, "I'll give you a piece of advice. When you go to the capital, you will have plenty of money. If you want to be rich, you must live frugally. You must not stop at nothing like today."

After finishing speaking, Hongye paused, "Of course, if you really just like mahjong, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Shen Xian's brows and eyes were curved, and he felt more and more fond of Hongye in his heart. Although he looked icy and cold, he was actually warm-hearted.

"I see, Sister Hongye must take care of herself. If you have any difficulties, you can go to the Zhao Mansion on Xuanwu Street to find me."

Hongye hadn't heard words of concern for a long time, and she didn't know how to respond at this moment.

"Ah."

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Shen Xian stood up, waved his hand with a smile, and took out the broken silver from his purse to pay the bill.

Hongye silently asked for oil paper to pack the rest of the meal.

Seeing Hongye's slender figure, Shen Xian was moved with compassion, and wanted to give her some money, but was afraid of hurting this sister's strong heart.

The noon sun was just right, and the temperature wasn't that cold anymore, Shen Xian saw that it was still early, so he planned to go to Yan's firm to have a look.

When Yan Chongluan visited yesterday, he told Shen Xian the location of the firm, so Shen Xian found the location of the firm without much effort.

In order to deal with Gu Hanlin, the Beijing branch of Yan's Commercial Bank opened in a hurry, leaving a large piece of firecracker powder that had not been cleaned at the door, only a few flower baskets.

Taking a look from a distance, Shen Xian found that Yan Chongluan's business was deserted, with only a few clerks coming in and out.

Although the Yan's Chamber of Commerce is a foreign firm, it's not like no one trades in the firm, Shen Xian keenly sensed something was wrong.

Walking forward quickly, Shen Xian went straight into the firm, there were very few of Yan's clerks who didn't know her, so naturally no one stopped her.

Shen Xian stopped a guy casually and asked, "Where's your young master?"

The clerk pointed to Xi Mian, and said slowly: "Young master has gone to the perfume workshop."

Shen Xian lowered his head when he heard the words, looked around and asked, "Why is it so deserted in the business?"

The guy looked helpless, shrugged his shoulders and said: "I heard from the young master that there is a big force in the capital that excludes us and prevents local commercial firms and merchants from cooperating with us, so we have nothing to do."

After listening to the man's words, Shen Xian couldn't help curling his lips.

Here we go again, why is this scene so familiar? Are all the methods of doing business in the world so dirty?

Although he kept making complaints in his heart, Shen Xian was not very worried, after all, the profits of perfumes were there, even if Yan's firm was only in the perfume business in the capital, they would still make a lot of money.

As for other scattered businesses, it won't be a problem until Yan's firm integrates into the capital.
