Chapter 1829 Farewell
Yang Heshu had already decided to leave for Xiazhou after the Lantern Festival. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, he started to go to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel to hand over documents. Then on the tenth day, he took a day off to meet with relatives and friends, and packed his luggage to prepare for departure.
But now Yang is hated by the emperor and the prince, and more than half of her previous relatives and friends are gone. Moreover, Yang Heshu has a calm personality and seems to get along well with everyone, but he is really close to only three or four people.
Three of them are still in the palace.
So Yang Heshu didn't go to meet anyone. He packed up his things and planned to set off early in the morning on the 16th.
If they leave earlier, they can rest for two more days on the road.
This time, he brought his wife and children with him. Because his son was still young, Yang Heshu specially spent a lot of money to invite Doctor Tao from Jishidiang to accompany him in the car, and wait for Doctor Tao to come back after they arrived in Xiazhou.
This was Zhou Man's connection, and for this she received a kickback of one pound of red dates and half a pound of brown sugar. This was given to her by the shopkeeper Zheng.
The reason was, "There's a problem with a shipment of medicinal materials from Xiazhou, and we need to send someone over to check it out. I was originally hesitating whether to go myself or ask Doctor Ding or Doctor Tao to go. Now, not only can I go to Xiazhou, I can also make some money, and more importantly, I can connect with Lord Yang."
Manbao: "Then how can you still accept so much money from him?"
Manager Zheng said confidently, "This way, Lord Yang can use it with confidence. One thing is one thing. The good doctor and the car are originally priced at this price. When we arrive in Xiazhou, if we have any requests, we will naturally express them to Lord Yang."
Manbao asked, "Are you colluding with officials and businessmen, taking bribes?"
"Bah, bah, bah! Children's words are innocent, but they are blown away by the wind. What about bribery? How unpleasant it sounds!" said the shopkeeper Zheng. "You underestimate our pharmacy, and you underestimate Mr. Yang."
He said, "Everyone knows that the Yang family is famous for their wealth. In the entire capital, besides the Zou family, the Yang family is the richest."
Not to mention Yang Heshu's temperament, who would use money to defile him?
Shopkeeper Zheng stroked his beard and smiled, "If our pharmacy wants to give something, it would naturally be some medicinal herbs or something like that. I think if it were under Lord Yang's management, he would also like it very much, right?"
Yang Heshu may not like money, but he must like the people under his rule to have money. Those are his political achievements. If they have something to ask for, there must be areas for cooperation, right?
Manbao looked at the shopkeeper Zheng seriously for a while, and when he was sending Yang Heshu out of the city, he couldn't help but ask him, "Xiaoxiong Yang, do you like money?"
The shopkeeper Zheng, who had also come to see Doctor Tao off, froze in his smile. He couldn't help but glance at Zhou Man, thinking to himself: Could it be that the New Year's gift I prepared for my son this year wasn't good enough? Why did he cheat him so much?
Yang Heshu smiled and said, "Who in the world doesn't like money? I'm a human being, so naturally I like it too."
He didn't know why Manbao brought this up, so he paused and then said, "But a gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way. Compared to the way, money seems much less important."
Manbao nodded in agreement, but still looked at Manager Zheng with pride and said: See, you are wrong, Lord Yang likes money.
Zheng Da, the shopkeeper who rarely had a spiritual connection with her: ...
Yang Heshu couldn't understand what she meant and thought she had encountered some difficulties at work, such as someone bribed her to do something.
He reminded her secretly, "The situation in the palace is complicated. Although you have the Crown Prince to protect you, I remember you said that you are not from the Eastern Palace, but a doctor from the Imperial Medical Bureau."
Manbao nodded, "Yes."
"Then don't get involved in the palace fights. You're young, so just take care of your illness," Yang Heshu said meaningfully, "You have to take care of yourself."
Manbao nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yang, I'm only interested in medicine and flowers, plants, insects and birds."
This is impossible. Don't think that Yang Heshu doesn't know how much she loves to hear all kinds of news.
He turned to look at Bai Shan and warned, "You are both in the palace together, so please keep an eye on her."
Bai Shan glanced at Zhou Man and agreed.
Manbao: ...
Manbao: "I'm very sensible."
Yang Heshu just smiled, Bai Shan also turned his head and smiled at her, and Bai Erlang beside him laughed secretly.
He looked at the time and felt it was about time, so he nodded slightly to the three of them and turned to walk towards his father and Tang He.
As soon as Tang Hecai arrived, he was called aside by Lord Yang to talk. When he saw Yang Heshu coming over, he nodded slightly at him. When he was about to give the space to the father and son, Lord Yang had already turned and walked to the other side.
Tang He: ...
When Yang Heshu came forward, he asked, "Why, is Uncle Shi still angry with you?"
Yang Heshu smiled and shook his head slightly.
Tang He sighed and said, "My uncle just told me that he hopes I can help you in the court. He said that since you are going to Xiazhou, it is unknown how many years it will take for you to return."
"Then I suddenly remembered something," Tang He said quietly, "I suddenly remembered that even if you don't hold an official position, you still have the title of Marquis."
Yang Heshu: "...My father is still healthy and should be able to live for another 20 to 30 years."
Although Tang He didn't think that Lord Yang could live that long, he nodded with comfort and felt less sad.
Tang He quietly glanced at Lord Yang, who was looking up at the sky but not at them, and whispered to Yang Heshu, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on your uncle. I can't promise you anything, but if he wants to replace his son with another one, I'll definitely let you know."
Yang Heshu couldn't help laughing and nodded, "Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
Yang Heshu's personal abilities are so outstanding that everyone almost forgets that he is the prince of a marquisate.
In the capital, everyone would call this young master or that prince, but they would never call Yang Heshu the prince.
Because everyone thought that what he would get in the future would definitely be higher than the title of marquis, he could rely on his own ability to be granted the title of marquis and become a prime minister instead of inheriting the legacy of his ancestors.
It wasn't until Yang Heshu said goodbye to everyone that Lord Yang was willing to see him. He glanced at the crowd behind him and couldn't help but sigh, "Since you've chosen this path, then go on. Don't return to the capital for the next two or three years."
Yang Heshu agreed.
Lord Yang said, "There's a box in that box where you keep your gold ingot toys. Inside is some money. Things are already happening in Jiangnan. I'm afraid that within the next year or two, His Majesty and the Crown Prince will take action in Jiangnan. You can hide your actions in the Ministry of Revenue from others, but you certainly can't hide them from the Cui and Wang families. When their brothers and sisters in Jiangnan are chopped off, you'll probably be the target of their wrath."
Yang Heshu said calmly, "Don't worry, father. The Great Jin Dynasty is not the world of the Cui and Wang families, and this is not the Later Wei Dynasty either. They can't do anything to me."
Lord Yang was still worried, but he nodded and said, "I'll have more people go to Xiazhou later. If you need money, ask Wan Tian to get it. Take care of Xiazhou first and don't let outsiders interfere."
See you at 9pm
