415 This is Minzhou
Xu Song was very smart and had studied martial arts on his own for several years, so he quickly became familiar with Lin Feng and the others.
Wan Xiang also performed very well. He had some talent in medicine. Whenever he had time, he would insist on practicing martial arts with Xiao Wu and the others. He also positioned himself very well and never used his relationship with Ping An as a reason.
Ping An feels that God still favors him in terms of popularity.
"Master, I'm going to Fu An's car."
"Go ahead." After traveling together for so many days, Sun Sicheng naturally knew that Fu An did not rest throughout the journey, but spent most of his time memorizing.
It's good to be motivated.
"Ping An, if you don't come I will go find you."
They climbed onto the bus safely, lay down directly in the carriage and covered themselves with the quilt. Uncle He said they would be able to enter Minzhou city in two days. It was already the end of October, and if it was Gyeongju, it would have already started snowing. It was much better here, and they only needed to wear thin jackets. Those who were not afraid of the cold could wear padded jackets.
Fu An closed the car door, opened the curtain halfway, and crawled into the bed. Although it was not that cold, it was still much more comfortable to cover himself.
"Ping An, we will be going into the city in two days. Are you really not going to live with me at my uncle's house?"
Ping An said helplessly: "Fu An, use your brain to think about it. I didn't come here alone. My master followed me and brought so many people with him. Besides, we are all in Minzhou Prefecture, so it's easy to meet no matter where we live."
Fu An sighed: "What do you know? I've been here twice, I'm much more familiar with this place than you are. Baicaotang is in the East City, and my uncle's house is on South Street, one in the east and the other in the south, and it takes half an hour by carriage to get here.
I have two uncles, four cousins, and three cousins. Strangely enough, I don't have any cousins. You can imagine how comfortable my sister would be if she married into our family.
The oldest cousin is 21 years old. He is my future brother-in-law and is very good at business.
My second cousin is eighteen years old and has already become a scholar. He is smart and good at business.
My third cousin is seventeen years old and belongs to my second uncle. I heard that he is not very good at studying and I guess he may not pass the college entrance examination this year. My fourth cousin is the same age as me and his birthday is on the first day of the Lunar New Year. No one’s birthday is older than his. I won’t introduce my three cousins here.
Ping'an, you are going to live with me at my uncle's house. I will ask my eldest cousin to take us wherever he goes. There are markets on every fifth and tenth day of the lunar calendar. We can go to the market to buy the pearls left over by the merchants. The price is very cheap, and then we can ask my cousin to make them into jewelry.
You don't know that there is a place here that specializes in making jewelry. It's more than half the price of those gold and silver shops. My mother will make a lot of jewelry every time she comes here and take it back as gifts. It's cheap and prestigious.
We can also eat seafood everywhere. Of course, there is less seafood in this season, but there is still some. Minzhou is not small, there are many places to play. By the way, did you know that Zhongyong Hou is here? He and his youngest son are here. He is a very capable person and has a great reputation in this area. Your master should be familiar with him. "
Ping'an thought of that rainy night and the young man named Wang Tao. He should be Wang Wei's second brother, right?
But that day, the other party never mentioned it from beginning to end, and he didn't ask.
"Ping An, after all I've said, are you still unwilling to live with me?"
Ping An said lazily: "Fu An, you said so much, but I can't answer you. The only thing I can answer you is that at least I can't follow you when we first enter the city. I have to follow the master. When I have time, I will go to play with you.
As for the market, I am very interested. Now that I am here, I will definitely buy more beads to bring back as gifts."
Except for the money his master helped him invest, he took all the remaining money he had with him.
All in all, including the money he received from everyone at the city gate, the total amount was 9,000 taels of silver. If he could find a suitable small business to do, he would be willing to do it.
On the road to making money, he never feels tired.
He was very tempted by Mr. Chen's proposal. It could be said that the Chen family had no backing and really relied on the family for their livelihood. The fact that they could get to where they are today was closely related to Mr. Chen's good management. However, any big family with bad intentions could bring the Chen family to ruin.
The master may be the most reliable partner they have ever met.
The master is famous, has a wide network of contacts, and most importantly, he is honest and doesn't like to take advantage of others. He also has money and can connect with the Ying family.
Being brought along can be considered a bonus, but isn't it also a kind of investment? Chen Xuan and I have a good relationship, and we have been in contact for the past three years. I can also become Chen Xuan's helper in the future.
Both Master Chen and his master knew what was in his mind. It was nothing. The world was bustling with people who were all after fame and fortune. The world was bustling with people who were all after profit. As long as one had a righteous heart and did not do bad things, one could associate with them.
The Chen family didn't bring much goods this time, they were just here to pave the way. The master was also somewhat interested, so it depends on how the business will be negotiated in the future.
Fu An hung his head and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
He suddenly sat up and said, "Ping An, can I ask you for a favor?"
Ping An glanced at him: "What's the matter?"
"Ping An, when you return to Yingtian in the spring, why don't you go to Wang's house to study? Please, take me with you? Two great Confucianists, this is a good thing you can't even dream of. Ping An, how about taking me with you?"
Ping An remained silent, this sly guy.
"Please, please? From now on, if you let me go east, I will never go west. You..."
"Stop, stop. I can't answer you for now. I can only say that I will try my best to help you. The gentleman still has to teach his two grandchildren. I don't know if he is willing to teach one more person."
This is indeed true.
Chen Xuan is also a scholar. If Fu An wants to go to the Wang family, Chen Xuan must follow.
How dare he ask to bring two people to study? It might be better if the master asked.
He also planned to send Yuanqing to a school in Yingtian to study. Since Yuanqing would be lonely, he would let Xu Song accompany him, but he would not bring him to the Wang family. The two had been together for seven years since they were eight years old, and he also wanted to let him try to take the imperial examination.
He hoped that Yuanqing could pass the imperial examination, or even become a Jinshi, and embark on a career in officialdom, but Yuanqing told him that his greatest wish was to be his own steward or accountant, just like Mr. Sun once was, and he had no interest in being an official.
Thinking of this, he smiled. Yuan Qing was smart, quick at calculating, and had a gentle and refined appearance. He really looked like a smaller version of Mr.
"Ping An, what are you laughing at?"
"Didn't I just reply to you? I just thought of someone and smiled. What's the matter?"
Fu An suddenly winked and said, "I know, I know who you are thinking about? Thinking about your so-and-so, right?"
Ping An rolled his eyes at him: "You really think too much, Fu An, can you let me take a nap for a while? I still have to study medicine with my master tonight."
"Okay, okay, you've worked hard too. The eldest master is really something. He won't even let me have a rest." Fu An muttered a few times and then quieted down.
Two days later, Fu An pointed to the city gate in front of him and said, "It's safe. We've arrived in Minzhou. We've finally arrived in Minzhou. It took me more than a month to get here from the capital. My butt is broken in two."
