Old Madem had received the sacred medicine, but she could not say who had given it to him. Thus, she gave up, waiting for the time when she would meet that surnamed Zhao, to go to their residence to express her gratitude.
After waiting for her elderly self to stay for a few days, Xie Jingxi noticed that she was not affected by the sudden change in temperature in the capital.
In terms of emotions, it was reasonable for Shen Huanzhi to go and take care of the old lady while she went to the capital. He had prepared some gratitude from the Lady Xu and she had specially sent a carriage to send her there, but once she arrived at the Thousand Moon Inn, Xie Jingxi sent the carriage driver back.
When Shen Huanzhi looked at the first time, he still found it hard to believe, his originally gentle and refined face was stunned, he then burst out laughing: "What, I walked into the wrong door, master does not recognize me."
Shen Huanzhi finally regained his senses, and anxiously almost overturned his teacup, "Jing, Jing Wan, why are you here? After so many years, you really have grown up."
"What are you talking about? You sound as if you didn't last long." Xie Jingxi had been playing around with him since they were young, so they weren't restrained. The two were similar in age, but they never had any scruples talking.
"I, I …" Shen Huanzhi seemed to still have not recovered her soul, as she looked at the joke above his head with her three souls and seven souls, refusing to return to her seat. "Grandmother, is she alright?"
After holding it in for a long time, he finally managed to force out this sentence. Xie Jingxi placed the gift on the table, and then sat down.
Even Shen Huanzhi himself could not hold it in anymore, when he smiled, he did not beat around the bush and just wanted to ask her whether she was alright, "I've grown up, and I still have the same look of someone who only knows how to bully me, but I look a lot better than when I was young."
"You, ah, still have such a clumsy mouth. I originally thought that with your current achievements, you should be extremely clever."
Shen Huanzhi laughed at himself: "Whatever achievements you have, I will still be what I am, changing is just a face, my heart will never change, but at least we will return to the same place. In the end, I still came to the capital, and it can be considered as me not disgracing my final intent."
Xie Jingxi could feel that things were going to decline a little, and wanted to console him, "Actually, what kind of heart you are living with, the past ambition, is just a support point at that time. No one can predict in the future, I actually feel that there's nothing wrong with your way of life, that it's better to look at people's affairs and experience people's lives than to be in the world I think it is. Even if you focus on your studies and enter the civil service in the future, you will still be able to observe the world's affairs as much as you are now. Sometimes, you won't be able to see the lowest levels of despair and probably won't be able to see the situation in the government. "
Shen Huanzhi was stunned by her words, and then, while she was speaking, he took a good look at her, "It looks like you're not happy here in the capital, but did those people give you a good look?"
Xie Jingxi laughed without care, "They are all looking at me. Can't you tell whether it's a loss or a gain?"
"I can see that you're completely different from before. You're more alive, more understanding, and more real. You're really much better than me."
Xie Jingxi laughed in her heart. Just as Shen Huanzhi was about to say something, the attendant suddenly came over to report, "Boss, Manager Li is back. She said that she wants to see you. Take a look …"
The attendant glanced at Xie Jingxi, but Shen Huanzhi said: "Call him in, she's not an outsider."
When the Manager Li spoke, he was also stunned when he saw Xie Jingxi. When they were at Yuhang, Xie Jingxi had come to the Shen Family to play, and she had met the Manager Li a few times. She was an old man who had followed Owner Shen and stayed at the Shen Family to help Shen Huanzhi.
"But Madame Xie?" "In the blink of an eye, it has grown so big that I was unable to recognize it." Manager Li asked in surprise.
"It's my Manager Li, you haven't changed at all, you're still full of spirit."
Sigh, we are dealing with money every day and we are not going to be old. We are living in high spirits. If we see something wrong, what else do we need you to do?
Each of them seemed to be on their own. Manager Li was a shrewd businessman who had been around for half his life, but he also had his own good points.
Xie Jingxi was amused by him, "How are you useless? You are someone who is like a needle in a haystack, even if your eyes are blurry, you can't account for it, no one can say half a word about you."
It can be seen that the capital is a place for feeding people. Owner, you have come to make the right decision this time, I suggested that Master come to the capital to develop his skills, but he refused to come even when I wanted to. We, the old man, are good people in Jiangnan, but what kind of people and what kind of business we have, we have come here before.
Back then, although Master Shen Family had some accomplishments, his abilities were still there after all, so he couldn't get rid of them. If he had to rely on the Manager Li, he was afraid that the old man wouldn't be able to handle him. But now it was different. Shen Huanzhi had ambitions when he was young, and although he had not achieved any results in business, Manager Li was here at such a young age, so the ambitions he had when he was young could not be sustained until he was old. Therefore, Shen Huanzhi and he should be able to take advantage of each other and borrow the talent that Manager Li had gained throughout his life.
Xie Jingxi slowly thought in her heart, that Manager Li had already told Shen Huanzhi about her business.
"Boss, our strength lies in the softness and freshness of the material, as well as the high-quality silk that we produce. The capital is a foodie, and although it is not just us who are making it, I have managed to create a path for them. A few of them have already signed a contract with us today, so we can just deliver them according to the orders."
Shen Huanzhi read the list and said: "Normal people would not be able to enjoy the prices of ingredients like us, but the aristocratic families in the capital all have a few established old stores, which we are unable to eat at all. The level that we can develop in is still very small, furthermore, the clothes that we wear in the capital are all relatively heavy and exquisite. Relying on the Manager Li's limited network of people, we still need to think of a long-term plan. "
Xie Jingxi listened by the side, and thought for a while before replying, "I don't think so too."
"Oh? Mistress Xie has an idea? " Manager Li's sharp mouth was quick to see that Xie Jingxi had a way.
Xie Jingxi slowly said: "In the past few years that I have been in the capital, I have always missed those soft water-like materials that I have come in contact with in Jiangnan. I would naturally wear them on formal occasions, but at home, they might not wear them on normal occasions. Furthermore, the undergarments of the girls are the most suitable for these kinds of materials, and once we get spring weather next year, if we can get the right look, there would be a good market for them.
Shen Huanzhi's eyes lit up, the Manager Li had already gotten along with him for a hundred and eighty times, "Thank you, my wife, you have reminded me this, previously we only cared about the patterns of the ingredients, but we did not pay much attention to the occasion. We could specially publish some suitable colors for household use, and add on our ingredients, it would be interesting, and after we return, we could recruit a few embroidery ladies at a high price.
Shen Huanzhi nodded his head, "Everything depends on Manager Li's hard work."
"Boss, you can just let me eat a mouthful of food. What do you mean you can't rely on others?"
Xie Jingxi said again: "Do you guys have any ready-made ingredients and flowers? I'll also bring some back, maybe I can even bring some business back for you guys."
"That's the most practical thing. It's much better than my mindless running." Li Jun couldn't hide her excitement. "They are all the ladies of the family. My wife is a girl from Jiangnan. She is just a model for the scene. No matter how much effort it takes, it won't have any effect."
"After Manager Li said this, I started to feel embarrassed. I only wanted to get some ingredients to make myself comfortable, and I am not comfortable with those kinds of hard and hard materials in the capital. As for the rest, I can't guarantee …"
The two of them laughed at Xie Jingxi's words, the Manager Li joked: "No need for you to promise, not to mention a few pieces of cloth, even if you had to wear it for your entire life, our boss would be willing to give it to you. We are family members who do the fabric business, and would even feel wronged about it, what are you calling that, shopkeeper?"
Shen Huanzhi's face immediately flushed red, and he coughed lightly while covering his mouth uncomfortably: "Manager Li, you've been busy the whole day, or you can go rest first.
"Don't, don't. Although I'm old, I still have eyes. I've finished discussing official matters, so I'll leave now. Wife Xie often comes to play, our boss still hasn't …"
Shen Huanzhi blocked the two words "unmarried" outside the door, his face was so hot that eggs could be seen, and he laughed: "Manager Li is so old, it's all because it's fun."
"That …" Shen Huanzhi's face was flushed red, his hands could not find a suitable place to place, "I actually wanted to say, look …"
Shen Huanzhi's words were stuck in his mouth, unable to come out. After snorting for a long time, he said, "... "Take a look at what kind of materials you like. Pick as much as you want, pick some for the mansion, and we'll send them to the manor together."
Xie Jingxi said: "Originally, we should thank you, but now that I've accepted so many of your gifts, sigh, I won't be polite with you anymore. I'll pick a few to show you, I can't just keep you busy for nothing."
"You, you can just pick out a few that you like. Then how did you get here? Do you need me to send you back?"
"If you send me back, will you be able to return it?" Xie Jingxi smiled, "Stay in the capital for a few more days, it's rare to be able to come here, if I have the time, I'll bring you out for a walk."
