421 An old friend visits
After returning to the house, Sun Sicheng still asked the Chen father and son to follow him into the study.
"Ping An, talk to Master Chen yourself, and let's discuss the feasibility."
Mr. Chen was puzzled: "But it's about business? Ping An, just tell me if you have anything to say."
"Uncle Chen, this is what happened. I've been thinking about a business these past two days. I want our two families to do it together. Just now, my master beat me in the car because of this."
Master Chen laughed and said, "How could your master bear to hit you? Tell me."
Ping An told the story about the pearl jewelry: "It's this matter. To be honest, I am very interested. If Mr. Chen doesn't want to do it, it's okay. I will do it slowly by myself.'
Chen Xuan said: "Ping An, I am willing to work with you. This business is worth doing."
"Then I'll just ask for it. I'll pay half of the capital, and the goods will be sold at your jade shop. I'll draw the pattern, and the master and I will take half, and your Chen family will take half."
Master Chen said, "How can this be done? I am the fourth son of the Chen family, and you and your master will each take 30%."
Sun Sicheng said, "Just listen to Ping'an. To be honest, we are not short of money. If the child likes it, then let's do it. It doesn't cost much. However, Ping'an's drawings must not be leaked, and we can't say that Ping'an drew them. We can say that the business is done together with the Sun family."
Mr. Chen nodded: "Of course, this business will not involve the child. If the pearl business is good, we can also open some pearl shops. My Chen family has many shops."
"Master Chen will take care of these. You guys take a rest. Ping An and I still have to go and get busy. The old shopkeeper and his son are not in good condition."
"Okay, I'll discuss the following matters with Xuan'er." He also had a lot to do. The deal had been finalized, but he still had to discuss the specific details with the Ying family, such as how long it would take to ship a batch of green jade over, and whether they would be raw stones or fine products.
If he is transporting raw stones, he will have to send a master over. Buying a house here is imminent.
The pearl business is easy to handle. It is like Ping An helping his Chen family make money. Everyone has money on both sides. Pearls are plentiful in Minzhou. The most difficult thing is to get a good blueprint. His Chen family has silversmiths and jade craftsmen, so he doesn't have to worry about this business.
"Dad, the pearl jewelry business will definitely be a big hit. I believe Ping An's drawings can help Manager Chen take people to collect the pearls."
"Xuan'er, Daddy will take care of these things. We can't hide the matter of collecting pearls from the Ying family, and there's no need to hide it. Just say directly that we're doing some pearl business.
As long as the eldest son is willing to give me his arm, I will not hesitate to help him with the business matters. However, there is one thing that has been weighing on my mind. I cannot tell you, but I am reluctant to give it up. "
"Dad, what's the matter?"
"Xuan'er, Dad knows that Ping'an's main purpose of this trip is to go to Yingtian to study with Master Wang. He is the president of the Hanlin Academy and the former top scholar of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you can go with Ping'an, Dad will wake up with a smile even in his dreams."
"Dad, I want to, too. But the more capable a person is, the less likely they are to teach others. Have you ever heard of them accepting apprentices? The Wang family has never accepted apprentices since the old man. Ping An is probably the first one to actually follow them to study.
Dad, we can't talk about these things for now. When we get to Yingtian, I can only say that I will find a good academy in Yingtian and ask Ping'an to borrow his notes. It is a blessing that others can't even dream of seeing the notes of a great scholar."
Master Chen took a deep breath and said, "Okay, many things are in our hands. Maybe we can listen to Master Wang's lecture someday. Let's keep this to ourselves and not tell anyone. If we tell anyone, I'm afraid many people will want to go."
Chen Xuan smiled and said nothing.
Fu An is one of the others.
If the Ying family knew about this, I'm afraid the second son of the Ying family would also want to go.
It is even more impossible with more people.
Sun Sicheng no longer cared about the specific matters concerning Qingyu. Mr. Chen discussed with the eldest and second masters of the Ying family for two mornings and finally finalized everything.
The old lady and the first wife of the Ying family also used the prescription prescribed by Sun Sicheng. The second wife heard from somewhere that Ping An could remove moles for people, so she asked him to come up, but Ping An postponed it to ten days later.
The old shopkeeper's poison was at a critical moment. This poison was really not easy to cure. Ping'an and his master spent a lot of time and effort on it. Ping'an recorded every time he used the medicine and the subsequent reactions in his notes.
He never took medical matters lightly.
In the past two months, he tried his best to spare an hour every night to recall all the medical knowledge in his previous life from his memory, and wrote it down bit by bit from the simplest to the most complex. By now, he has almost filled two thick notebooks.
These will be inestimably valuable in the future when he carefully classifies and re-transcribes them. Even his master Sun Sicheng does not know about this for the time being.
The medical skills of his previous life had been accumulated in China for thousands of years and were profound and extensive. There were too many things to remember and organize, and he could not do it during the day. After all, he came into this world as a real baby. After fifteen long years, many memories had begun to blur.
Only when it was late at night and his mind was empty, when he was still in medical school or performing various operations with his assistants in the hospital, could he quickly record more useful things.
Li Chengwang's health has improved a lot in the past few days, but he dare not treat him too quickly. Haste makes waste, and this man is too weak.
But even so, the Li father and son were already very satisfied.
The purchase of pearls also began.
Ping An was ready to make another move, but was severely scolded by his master before he gave up.
Mr. Chen openly mentioned the matter of collecting pearls to Mr. Ying. Mr. Ying did not ask any further questions and asked them to send someone to contact his family's chief steward directly.
The matter of Qingyu has been settled, and Master Chen is still busy buying a big house here, so the matter of collecting Zhenzhu was handed over to Chen Feng, who is the manager of his family and also the follower he has followed since he was a child. He Jin was asked to follow the eldest son.
Ping'an couldn't go himself, so he quickly discussed with Uncle He and decided to buy him some extra ones if they were cheap, as his own.
Of course He Jin agreed.
When Master Ping'an returns in the future, all his relatives and friends will give him gifts. He can obviously get cheap ones here, so why should he go to Beijing to buy expensive ones?
The pearl business does not belong to the eldest son and Master Ping'an alone. Now that they have partners, there are some things that they cannot take casually. This is the rule.
Just when Ping'an and his men were busy, Erqiang came to report that a man named Wang Tao came to the door and said that he knew you and the eldest master.
But his master was not here today, as he had gone to the farm. All three farms needed to be tidied up, and he had been busy in the past few days, so he went there early this morning with Uncle Ming and a few others.
Ping An went straight to the front yard.
Erqiang followed behind in a good mood. He had received many red envelopes during his time in Minzhou. If he wanted to get rich, he had to go out. How could he make much extra money if he always stayed at home?
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Ping'an took a look and saw that the person standing at the gate was an old friend from the past.
