158 Sun Sicheng terminates the contract
Sun Sicheng also wanted to make this happen, which would be a good thing for Zhang Jinyu and Chang Chunfeng, and would not be bad for Ping An either.
"Brother Jinping, this is a bit difficult. Brother Chang will not agree to this without knowing whether there is any marriage in his hometown. His hometown affairs cannot be revealed at all now, otherwise it will affect his palace examination and ruin his life.
I can only hint to him about it indirectly, and if he agrees to do it if he doesn't have a wife in his hometown, then it will basically be done."
Zhang Jinping was overjoyed and clapped his hands, "That's right, it is true. Sicheng, you can go there in the next two days. As long as he agrees to this condition, I will help him get the official appointment."
Sun Sicheng certainly believed this. He was not working in an important department. He was just a minor official of the seventh or eighth rank. However, there were differences between minor officials of the same rank. Being assigned to the capital or the suburbs of Beijing was completely different from being assigned to a remote place.
"Okay, that's it. I'll go find him in the evening."
In the villa, Chang Chunfeng heard the eldest master mention this matter and smiled and shook his head.
"My Lord, Chunfeng really doesn't dare to agree to this. Maybe I've been married before. Even if I haven't, there's no guarantee that my parents haven't arranged a marriage for me. If I rashly agree to someone's marriage, it would be like harming them. It's not right."
Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "It's my fault for not explaining it clearly. What my brother meant is that as long as you agree, when you return, if you have never been married and are single, then this marriage will be arranged.
He will try his best to help you with the official assignment and let you stay in the capital or somewhere not far from the capital.
You have to know that this is also an opportunity for you. Your ranking is not very good, and you have no one to back you up. It is possible that you will be assigned to any remote place. It will probably be a long time before you can change places. I am not trying to scare you.
Think about it again, you are the winner in this matter. If you get married, the Zhang family won't blame you. At most, you can repay the favor in the future. If you don't get married, the Zhang family is a very good match. Miss Zhang was just delayed. She has good character, talent and appearance. "
Chang Chunfeng thought so too.
I told the eldest son that I was the one who made all the money. The other party was a little older, but I had been married and divorced before, and he was not a first-time married man. The other party's family was an official family, while I was just a country scholar.
He admitted that he was still selfish and that being an official was too important in a person's life.
"Okay, I'll agree to this. It depends on the result when I return to my hometown. If I'm still single, I'll definitely come to ask for marriage. But I guess my family conditions are not that good. After all, it's not easy to raise a scholar in the countryside. I don't know if my parents are sick or penniless these years. If that's the case, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of the Zhang family."
Sun Sicheng was also in a heavy mood. He never bothered to lie to others, so he really couldn't tell Chang Chunfeng about this matter. Sometimes he had to tell lies out of necessity.
"Well, I will bring Brother Zhang here in two days, and you two can talk it out face to face. I am really sorry that I told him about your situation without your permission. I also think this marriage is really good for you, and it would be a pity to miss it."
Chang Chunfen shook his head and said, "I know what kind of person the eldest master is. You wouldn't say these things unless it was absolutely necessary. It's okay. You can bring Mr. Zhang here, but you'd better tell him my actual situation first. My family is not worthy of the Zhang family."
"Okay, it's settled. You're busy, and I'll be back."
After Sun Sicheng left, Chang Chunfeng was still a little confused. He didn't expect that another marriage proposal would come to him. He did not tell Yu Yang about this. It was still unknown whether the marriage would be successful. Letting others know would be disrespectful to the Zhang family.
Two days later, Sun Sicheng asked Jixiang to take Chang Chunfeng away, and the matter was settled in an inconspicuous tavern, with Sun Sicheng serving as a witness.
On March 26, Chang Chunfeng took the palace examination and advanced two places, 191st place, which was quite satisfactory. He only had to wait for the official assignment in ten days.
Zhang Jinping then used his father's connections to find ways for Chang Chunfeng.
At this point, Sun Sicheng had to sigh that Chang Chunfeng was lucky enough this time and had a lot of romantic relationships.
He himself had never intended to help Chang Chunfeng in this regard. If it were Sun Yat-sen, he would have run away.
On the first day of April, Sun Sicheng went to the military headquarters to cancel the contract. The Minister just shook his head. Such a smart young man was actually distracted by a hot spring villa. It can be seen that he is still young.
The other officials followed suit and laughed in good faith, saying that they would go to the eldest master's manor to soak in the hot springs sometime.
Sun Sicheng could only smile bitterly.
Zheng Qiuyang also signed the agreement, and from then on the Zheng family accounted for 80% of the medicinal material supply of the Northern Border Military Camp.
Not long after Sun Sicheng left the military headquarters, the sound of horse hooves was heard behind the carriage.
Jixiang said, "Master, Young Master Zheng is chasing us, should we stop the carriage?"
Sun Sicheng nodded.
When the car stopped, he stuck his head out and asked, "Brother Zheng, what are you chasing after?"
"Brother Sun, I want to treat you to lunch, and I also want to ask the eldest master for something."
Sun Sicheng knew clearly that the amount of medicine supplied had increased a lot, and he felt uneasy. He just wanted to make a verbal agreement with him in advance so that the Sun family could support the Zheng family.
It’s not impossible.
All the extra medicines in the Sun family need to be sold, so it doesn’t matter who they are sold to.
"Okay, let's not eat anymore. Let's find a place to drink some tea. I have to go back." Shunfeng and Shunshui had already arrived last night. This morning, I was busy with the contract termination matter and had not had time to discuss it in detail.
As soon as the waiter sat down and drank a cup of tea, Zheng Qiuyang couldn't wait to talk about the supply of medicine.
"Brother Sun, the Zheng family has so many more supplies, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the herbs. There are enough herbs on the market, but I'm afraid if I use all of them, the quality won't be up to par. Brother Sun, I still want to ask my brother, I hope he can help me when the time comes."
"Brother Zheng, your medicine shop is not old, and you have added a lot of medicine grains over the years. Are you still worried that there will not be enough medicine?"
"Brother Sun, we have a medicine store, but the medicine valley is not doing well. It has not been run well. I really need your help on this matter."
"Okay, I promise to help you as much as I can. Under the same conditions, your Zheng family will be given priority. How about that?"
Zheng Qiuyang was delighted: "Of course, brother, I am satisfied that you are the first one to come. Have tea, have tea. I have prepared new tea for you, and I will have the servant bring it to you in a while."
Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "Thank you very much, brother. I will go back first. Grandfather is a little upset today, so I dare not play outside too late."
Watching Sun Sicheng go downstairs, Zheng Qiuyang curled the corners of his lips. Young Master Sun gave up the military supplies because he really missed the hot spring villa, and secondly, the weather this year was somewhat abnormal, and he was afraid that the amount of medicinal materials would be reduced.
Zheng Qiuyang looked up at the sky. It was already early April and things were still normal for the time being. Even if there was some drought, he was not afraid. His people would rush to the Zhangzhou medicinal materials market tomorrow and prepare more medicinal materials for the Zheng family medicine storehouse.
As long as the supply of the military camp can be guaranteed, his own pharmacy can only provide medical services but not sell medicine. Of course, this is the worst plan. He found Master Sun today just in case.
Besides, the Sun family's medicinal materials are indeed top-notch and never adulterated. They can be purchased at any time as long as the family has money.
A quarter of an hour later, Zheng Qiuyang left the teahouse contentedly.
