Chapter 45: The First Negative Weng of Daqin
According to Qin Lei's request, Shi Wei returned to the Shen family as soon as he entered the city. This was the first time he met after returning to China.
Shi Wei bent over and saluted Qin Lei with a slight excitement. Qin Lei smiled and asked him to get up and sit down and talk.
The two of them did not greet each other, and Qin Lei asked directly: "What is the attitude of grandfather's family? Why is there no response yet?" That night, Mrs. Chen warmly invited Qin Lei to visit. Qin Lei also wanted to thank the Shen family, which was of great help to him. So she sent a message to him the next day.
What I never expected was that the Shen family's attitude was very strange. Eight days have passed and there is no response at all.
Seeing that Qin Lei was very concerned about this matter, Shi Wei looked around and whispered: "Your Highness, the old man asked me to tell you: Don't be impatient."
Qin Lei said 'oh', pondered for a while, and asked again: "Then I'll find out what arrangements His Majesty has for me."
Shi Wei smiled and said, "The old man said, "Your Highness, don't worry, you have the capital to pledge the country, and you can understand the military, so there are naturally civil and military people who speak for you."
Qin Lei nodded and smiled, "It seems that I am too worried." He asked again, "Can our injured brother settle down?"
Shi Wei nodded and said, "We brothers are not only His Highness's brothers, but also the sons of the Shen family. In this matter, the old man is very happy and praises you for being his good grandson." After saying that, he glanced at Qin Lei and saw that his face was normal, he continued, "Just..."
Qin Lei glared at him and cursed with a smile: "You are the most sarcastic thing. You will report good news first and then bad news. Let go of your farts and worry to death."
Shi Wei said, "Then I'll say it, but the old man said that the pension regulations you formulated are a bit high, so I can only issue them according to the customs of the mansion first. If it is insufficient, use his private money to cushion it, so as not to gossip."
Qin Lei nodded and said, "This is the reason. We should pay for it ourselves, but we just borrowed our grandfather's money to cushion it first. Of course, it is not easy to mess up the rules." Speaking of this, he touched his chin and smiled helplessly: "In addition to the expenses in Shangjing, I owed my grandfather's family more than 5 million taels of silver, right?"
Shi Wei just laughed and didn't answer.
Qin Lei sighed: "The feeling of the first man in Qin Dynasty is not like that."
Shi Wei was stunned for a long time before he realized, laughed and said, "The man who has no one to ask for debt is also very good."
After laughing for a while, Qin Lei ordered Shi Wei: "There are three things you have to do: First, give Li Guangyuan's family a generous gift. He is not at home, so it is not convenient for me to visit."
Shi Wei nodded and wrote down.
Qin Lei said again: "Go to Nancheng to buy a house, don't pass by anyone. Just ask my grandfather to borrow money." After saying that, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Grandma, I guess only one of the arrogant mentors in the world is like this arrogant man."
Shi Wei smiled and said, "The old man is afraid that you won't lend it, but he never thought about asking you to pay it back."
Qin Lei reminded: "You do this yourself, no one except grandpa is allowed to tell you."
Shi Wei asked again: "What are the requirements for the house?"
Qin Lei thought for a while, stretched out his two fingers and said, "One, concealed; two, developed transportation."
Shi Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, traffic in hidden places must be underdeveloped, and places with developed places must not be hidden. You have a problem."
Qin Lei grinned at him and said, "It is because it is difficult to find that Brother Shi, the most capable of us, went to find him."
Shi Wei had no choice but to take on this job.
Qin Lei stood up and said, "Add to discuss with the old man, send a liaison officer here, don't run away from both sides. I have something to arrange for you."
Shi Wei also stood up to take the order. Qin Lei patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Now you and Shen Qing are the only ones beside me. He wants to follow me. You are so tired."
Shi Wei smiled and said, "It's nothing to do for Your Highness, no matter how tired you are. But it's best to have someone to help you."
Qin Lei thought for a while and said, "We can't believe it with outsiders. Let's do this. Wait until Shi Meng is injured better, let him help you. He is your younger brother. I can take care of each other, so I feel more at ease."
Shi Meng was the guy who was tied into sacks by bees during the test in the mountains. He was injured when crossing the river. Fortunately, it was nothing serious and he had already replied.
Shi Wei shook his head without thinking, "Your Highness, this is not good."
Qin Lei knew what he was worried about, so he stretched out his fist and pounded his chest, and cursed with a smile: "There are only a few people, so I know how to avoid suspicion. You kid are really the most important thing to be an official."
Shi Wei smiled happily and said, "He Cheng Your Highness Ji Yan, I really have a hobby of being an official."
Qin Lei stood in front of Shi Wei and looked straight in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "Brother Shi, there is no airtight wall in the world. If you really want to be an official and become a high-ranking official, you cannot leave any flaws to attack and be on the right track. If you don't even have the confidence to distinguish between public and private affairs, then your ideal will always be empty words."
Shi Wei bowed his head and was taught. Qin Lei's eyes crossed his shoulders and said softly: "Brother Shi, you are meticulous and flexible in your work. I have high expectations for you."
Shi Wei knelt down excitedly and said, "Shi Wei swears to be loyal to His Highness to the death, and he will be careless."
Qin Lei did not let him get up, nor even go to see him, and changed the subject: "But I'm a little worried."
Shi Wei raised his head suddenly and looked at Qin Lei in search.
Qin Lei's eyes looked into the distant sky through the mottled shade of trees, where doves were flying.
"One day in the future, if you judge that I am dead ending and the other road is shining with golden light, please don't forget the following sentence: Things will never be as bad as you imagined, maybe hope will appear at the corner." The voice is distant, as if it can reach people's hearts.
Shi Wei kowtowed in sweat and said, "How dare you have two intentions? Your Highness is too worried."
Qin Lei looked at him meaningfully, helped him up and smiled, "I just sighed, Brother Shi, don't think too much." Then he said softly in his ear: "I will not blame the affairs of the refugee camp, but I will punish both crimes next time I commit it again."
Shi Weiru was confused and cried bitterly, "I used to be confused, but today I heard Your Highness's words, and I will definitely change my past and be loyal."
Qin Lei took out his handkerchief and handed it to him, and whispered: "No one knows that matter, and no one will mention it again in the future. Go."
Shi Wei nodded and took a few steps back, kowtowed to Qin Lei three times before turning around and going out.
