Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

Luo Ding, who returned to the inn, first wrote a letter to Shen Chenai who stayed in Fengcheng, briefly introduced his situation, and then asked Shen Chenai for a suitable painting.

After the post sent the letter quickly, Luo Ding walked back to the inn thoughtfully.

Seeing the man in front of the cavalry in the restaurant yesterday, Luo Ding was always puzzled.Although that face has changed a lot over the years, but compared with the face in my memory, whether it is facial features or face shape, it is really very similar.

Whether he is that person or not is a question that has been lingering in Luo Ding's mind since yesterday, but now even he himself is not sure whether his thoughts are right, so he still didn't say anything to anyone, Instead, he chose to continue to wait and see.

Shen Chenai's side, since Luo Ding left, he feels lazy and can't get up to do anything. Even the creation that he used to like most now feels that he has no passion and doesn't arouse his interest.

That brat, Yue Gui, ran out to play after finishing his horse stance.Throwing her young brother to Mrs. Chen, she ran out to be her child king.

The idle and bored Shen Chenai rolled around on the kang at home, until his head was a little dizzy, then he stopped this seemingly silly entertainment.

Shen Chenai, who lay down and rested for a while, lay on the window sill and looked at the sky outside. He felt that it was still early, but it was really boring for him to stay at home. Otherwise, he should go out early today and help them when he arrives at the butcher shop. It's good to help, save wasting time at home.

Since Luo Ding left home, Shen Chenai was the one who checked the accounts with the shopkeepers every day when it was about to close.Fortunately, this job is not too difficult, as long as you can write and do calculations, it is enough for Shen Chenai to do so far.

Just when Shen Chenai wanted to leave early, the postman sent him a letter quickly.

Shen Chenai, who was receiving a letter for the first time in ancient times, was very excited. He opened the letter enthusiastically and saw the signature. It turned out that Luo Ding had sent it to him in Wuwei.

Luo Ding's letter was not too long. He first greeted his family members at the beginning, and then got straight to the point, telling Shen Chenai his thoughts in the letter.

It was only after Shen Chenai read the letter that she realized that this time Luo Ding actually seemed to be asking for help from him.

This made Shen Chenai, who had no intention of creating, suddenly regained his energy. He took the letter sent by Luo Ding and read it carefully.I thought in my heart that it was Luo Ding's friend's father who needed the painting, and he was a generation older than Luo Ding.Based on Luo Ding's age, that one must be at least four or fifty years old.

And that one is a military general, who has been doing logistics work all the time, judging from Luo Dingxin's tone, he doesn't look like a Confucian general.Therefore, things that pay attention to artistic conception, such as seeking immortals in Lingshan, plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, cannot be painted on them.

Therefore, it is still necessary to choose something that is concise and easy to understand, and has auspicious meaning.

Shen Chenai kept circling around the room with the letter, the several options in her mind rolled back and forth, and were crossed out again and again, and finally there were only two options left: Songhe Yannian and Songbai Changqing.

Which of these two is better? Songhe Yannian means the longevity of the owner, while Songbai Changqing also means wishing the prosperity of the owner. These two themes have similar meanings and are very suitable. It's hard for him to choose.

This is the first time Luo Ding asked him to do something, and this matter is very important to Luo Ding and his business.So Shen Chenai paid special attention to this. He was afraid that a small mistake on his side would affect the progress of Luo Ding's side, so he had a choice obstacle between gains and losses.

After swaying left and right for a while, Shen Chenai finally decided to draw both. If there was not enough time, he would turn on the lights and fight at night. After the paintings were finished, they would be sent to Luo Ding for him to choose.

That night, after Shen Chenai came back from the butcher shop, he even ate a few mouthfuls of dinner. After sending Laurel Hill and the two rambunctious puppies to the West Room, he lit a few lights in the East Room. Better candles, surrounded them around his desk, and then started to create his own works with full concentration.

Two days later, Shen Chenai with a pair of panda eyes appeared in Luo's butcher's shop. After shocking the shopkeeper, he handed over the two newly mounted paintings to Shuanzi, and then directed He said: "This is what Luo Ding asked for when he sent a letter a few days ago. Find some reliable people to deliver it to him quickly. The address is in the envelope above. This is an urgent matter. You must find someone you can trust." people."

Shuanzi had heard a long time ago that in order to expand his business, his boss went to Wuwei.Seeing Brother Chen like this now, could it be that it is at a critical juncture? Thinking of this, he did not dare to neglect, so he called his cousin over from the shop, and after giving him careful instructions, asked him to bring his things, and a few people around him. Together with the strong young men, they rode to Wuwei.

Shuanzi and his cousin didn't dare to delay at all on the road because they knew that they carried something that was crucial to the success of the butcher shop's business, and even ate their meals on horseback.In such a hurry, he finally arrived at Wuwei before dark, and delivered the things he brought to Luo Ding's hands.

Luo Ding did not have any barriers to choice, so he quickly chose the one he was satisfied with among the two paintings, which was the evergreen painting of pines and cypresses painted by Shen Chenai.

Luo Ding felt that the meaning of this painting was very good. It not only wished the master's family a long life, but also implied wishing the master's family prosperity and long-term official position, so there must be nothing wrong with giving this painting.

Luo Ding, who quickly ordered the painting, called someone to contact Tao Guerrilla early the next morning, and personally delivered the painting to him.

That night, Tao Youzhe took the painting of evergreen pines and cypresses to his father's study. His father unfolded the painting and stared at it for a long time before nodding his head in approval and saying, "As expected of the recently famous Master Yunwu." , as expected, the painting style is different from other vulgar people. The painting method is simple, the painting is realistic, but there is a different kind of artistic conception in the painting, it is not a simple character at all."

Tao Guerzilla curled his lips when he heard his father's evaluation, and said to himself, father, you don't have to do this in front of me. How can I not know the details of your old age? The big characters are all learned after marrying my mother, and painting is fine. Come on, those few words you always said were all said by my mother a few days ago.

Father Tao saw his son's attitude in his eyes, and couldn't help being furious in his heart. He pointed at his son's head all at once, and then said angrily, "You dare to roll your eyes at my own father, what kind of attitude is that?"

Tao Guerrilla was beaten to tears by his father, and he thought that when he went to the back house later, he must go to his mother to complain, so that the old man could enjoy his mother's Eighteen Moves of Yu Fu when he returned home at night.

Old Tao Tao looked at his son's teary eyeballs, and didn't know what he was thinking.My son is in his 20s and still has the nature of a child, so I really can't reassure him.

Thinking of this, Father Tao sighed heavily and said: "That friend of yours is kind, but pork is indeed much cheaper than beef and mutton. Those soldiers and ruffians in the Wuwei Army will not No matter what kind of meat is in the mouth, for them, as long as the piece of meat is big enough to make them eat satisfactorily, pork, mutton and beef are actually no different."

Tao Guerrilla wanted to let go of his father's words, and quickly continued: "That's right, pork is cheap and rich in oil and water. It saves money and is affordable. You must support such a good thing, father."

Father Tao said to his son very annoyed when he heard the words: "I have to wait to support him. The meat contract for the first half of this year has already been signed, and it is impossible for me to break the contract. Tell him to prepare For a moment, from July until the end of December, 12 fat pigs will be sent to Wuwei Army every month. The price will be calculated according to the market price at that time. I have already given him the opportunity. It's up to him."

Tao Guerrilla smiled happily when he heard the words, and expressed his thanks to his father who couldn't help bowing to him. Father Tao was amused by his funny appearance, and he said with a stiff face: "In a few days, we will hold a grand ceremony in the military headquarters. At a dinner party, the protagonist is the newly arrived Vice-General Xu. There are many country gentlemen who will be invited to the banquet. You have been taken care of by that Luo Ding in the past few years. Invite him to come with you on the day of the dinner. Let me see, what kind of person is the person you're talking about that makes my ears almost grow calluses."

Successfully fulfilling what Luo Ding asked for, Tao Guerrilla came to Luo Ding with his head held high, and explained to Luo Ding everything his father had said.

After hearing Tao Guerzilla's words, Luo Ding's heart relaxed a lot.It doesn't matter if the supply cannot be supplied in the first half of the year, because according to the different solar terms, Luo Ding has to arrange different times for catching piglets for the farmers who raise pigs for him every year.

The pigs raised in this way can avoid the centralized market time, and his butcher shop can ensure sufficient supply.

Many of the old farmers in the past had already caught pigs and raised them according to the arrangement years ago, but even if the new group of people went to catch piglets right now, they would still have to raise seven or eight piglets. It will be ready for sale after a month.

At that time, it will be able to catch up with the order of Wuwei Army, which is 300 pigs in six months, so that a large part of the newly added fat pigs will be consumed.

As for the dinner party held by the Wuwei Army, I must go there. Although he has not started to supply the military department yet, he must not hide the news for a long time. Those who are touched by him should go out earlier It doesn't matter if you meet them, the more you get in touch with, the more you will understand, and if you really match up, you can come up with more ways to do it.

What's more, didn't Tao Guerrilla just say that the Wuwei Military Headquarters held this dinner to welcome the newly arrived Vice-General Xu, so that Vice-General Xu will definitely arrive. If you take a closer look, maybe you can find the answer to the doubt in your heart at this dinner party.
