Chapter 111 Companion
The Shen family's stall was not big. It was set up in a corner of the city. Usually Shen's mother would go there to take care of it and take turns with the two sisters.
In order to give Yun'er more time to look after the children, Shen Yao specially asked his neighbor to tell his father and mother to come back early when he went to the city.
The family sat in the yard before the sun set, looking at the big box in the middle.
"We agreed that if something is too valuable, we will carry it back," said Father Shen.
"Yeah, yeah," the others nodded in agreement.
When Shen Hui opened the box, everyone was very happy because the things in the box were all useful in daily life.
From small items like colored threads to large items like thick winter clothes and some leather.
"What beautiful fabrics," Xu Yuner stroked the fabrics, fearing that her rough hands would damage them. Another box contained some precious spices and meat.
There are also boxes filled with various daily necessities, ranging from food to daily necessities.
There is also a small wooden box inside, which contains some jewelry. They are simple styles that the two sisters can wear out on a daily basis.
"Second brother, these are yours." Cai'er took out a stack of papers, pens and ink, and a pile of books from the corner of another box.
"Let Cai'er take care of these things." Father Shen said, looking at Cai'er with admiration in his eyes.
Shen's mother remained silent. Yun'er was a little conflicted, but since it concerned her sister, she didn't say anything more.
"If Cai'er hadn't asked for a gift, how could we have these good things? And Cai'er must have been favored by the Crown Princess, which is why she is so valued." Shen Yao said
Shen Hui nodded aside, his attention still on the books.
They were all the best pens, inks, paper and inkstones, which he normally wouldn't even dare to think about. At this moment, he didn't care about the other things in the box at all.
"Of course not." Xiao Cai'er was unusually serious. "We gave gifts together as a family, and we gave things from our stall. I can't run that stall by myself.
The food in the gift was made by our whole family, and the return gift is also from our whole family.
My mother has always been in charge of these things in our family, so it is natural for her to take care of them. I am a child and I cannot take care of these things."
Hearing this, Shen's mother laughed naively and glanced at Shen's father again.
Everyone knew that Xu Cai'er's words were euphemistic. It turned out that everything from making snacks to opening a shop was done by Cai'er herself.
Cai'er will not let go until the shop is set up and the customer base is secure.
She was able to get Father and Mother Shen to go with her to the stall. It was impossible to say that Cai'er couldn't even control these things. It was obvious that these little girls didn't want to control them and didn't want to occupy these things themselves.
"Since Cai'er said so, let mother take care of it. Cai'er has too many things to take care of." Yun'er said to help Cai'er.
Cai'er nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to be busy recently, and I have something important to tell you all." Then she picked up the small box.
Shen Yao took a look and immediately said, "Oh, this is something that the Crown Princess gave to Cai'er alone." Cai'er nodded and opened the box.
People could not see clearly, only a few pieces of paper, but the stack of banknotes was clearly visible on top. Father Shen was so scared that he almost dropped his pipe on the ground.
At this time, Father Shen pointed at the paper box.
"This was given by the Crown Princess. There are two shops inside. Because I told the Crown Princess that we want to expand this small stall.
We all know that our products are good, but it is impossible for a noble family's carriage to stop by when we set up a small stall on the street.
If we want them to buy, we have to open a shop in a good place.
But my second and eldest brothers asked for a long time, but our family simply couldn't afford the rent.
There are many shops like this in the Crown Princess's dowry. Please pick out two good ones for me. But we are not taking their things for free. We have to share the money we earn with them."
"But Cai'er." Shen Hui wanted to say something but hesitated before finally speaking, "This is not like opening our own shop. All the profits belong to our family. No one will blame you, but once it involves the Crown Princess, this..."
Cai Er nodded. "I know this is a big deal, and I need to discuss it with my family. But I believe I can do it.
This is also an opportunity for our family. The Crown Princess wants to help us. The owner of this shop doesn't collect rent at all.
It's like a free gift, it's free. No matter how much you earn, they said they don't force us, they just look at us and see if we like each other.
She also said that the people in our Shen family are all hardworking and down-to-earth, and she believes it. "
Everyone was still hesitant, but when they heard that even the Crown Princess, an outsider, believed it, they felt that their suspicion was a bit too much.
If it weren't for Cai'er, the family would still be farming in that small village and would never be able to come to the capital.
Father Shen took a look at his grandson who was playing with toys. The toys he was playing with were exquisite and cute, and were also sent from the Prince's Mansion.
He lowered his eyes and looked at his rough hands, then looked back at Mother Shen.
She looked radiant recently and had gained some weight. She wore the pendant in her ear that she had always wanted to wear when she was young but never got it.
If they hadn't come, perhaps his wife would never have been able to wear the earrings, and his grandson would never have been able to play with the toy, or even see it.
"Okay, Cai girl, you're right, and Dad believes in you. At worst, we can do everything together. Just do it boldly.
But we must give more to the Crown Princess. Although we are poor and don’t care about the money, we must not let her suffer any loss. "
In fact, Xu Caier was also nervous inside, because Shen Yaocai had suffered since coming to the capital. She was afraid that her family would blame her, saying that the decision she made at that time was wrong and she should not have come.
But they didn't complain at all, and even tried to comfort her when she was frightened, and now they are on her side.
Song Yazhuo's family was a high-ranking official family, but she was born into an artistic family. She was out of tune with her family, and even though she had many achievements, in their eyes she was still a person who was not doing her job properly.
I have never had the support of my family, but I didn’t expect that here I would finally find the feeling of being accompanied by my family.
"And a yard." Cai Er took out another deed. Although this one is not big, it is close to our shop. We can be considered to have moved from the suburbs to the city.
Also, although there are not many houses in this yard, the front yard is very spacious and faces the street, which is particularly suitable for opening a martial arts school. The Crown Princess specifically instructed
It is said that my eldest brother is skilled in martial arts, and although he cannot join the army, his skills cannot be wasted.
Opening a martial arts school is a good business in Chenliang, and many families are willing to send their children to martial arts schools.
If you learn well, you can be a bodyguard for a rich family, or you can improve your health. If you are outstanding, you can join the army and win fame.
"Can I do it?" Shen Yao looked at his legs, his eyes filled with pain and regret.
