Chapter 447 Jia Yanbing Talks About the Past
However, after this incident, Wan Laoer became more honest and studious. He felt that he might just lack vision and experience. Even if he was not very smart, he thought he had good character, was honest, and had a righteous attitude, so he thought that should be able to make up for it.
But he didn't know there was a word called "unscrupulous businessman". Only after he suffered enough losses and fell enough times did he understand that some qualities are not right for people.
Wan Laoer followed Fubao back to the inn.
It was already late at this time. Wan Laoer estimated the time and went to wake up Jia Yanbing.
"Mr. Yan, wake up." Wan Laoer now respects Jia Yanbing from the bottom of his heart. After all, everyone has the psychology of admiring the strong.
Now there is no telling how many people in Da Qi are eyeing Jia Yanbing and wanting him to be their think tank, because the emperor has ordered that the Jia family is not allowed to do business within three generations. This means that Jia Yanbing now has a lot of business ideas but nowhere to put them into practice. Many people have set their sights on him, hoping to use his wisdom to consolidate their own business without having to worry about being betrayed. Any businessman should be able to think of such a profitable business.
But there are still some people who want to destroy this generation of geniuses directly.
Wan Laoer doesn’t know yet that he has picked up a treasure.
Jia Yanbing slept deeply and he felt that he had never slept so peacefully.
Wan Laoer called several times before he woke the person up.
"Brother Wan? Is it time?" Jia Yanbing felt that he was awakened just after he closed his eyes, and an hour had passed. He looked at Wan Laoer in a daze and asked in a hoarse voice.
Wan Lao Er nodded, "Yeah, the sun is about to set."
Wan Laoer helped Jia Yanbing sit up, and Fubao hurried forward to help, but found that he could not help at all.
"Uncle Yan Bing, are you feeling better?"
Yan Bing smiled and looked down at Fubao: "Uncle is much better, but Fubao has to call me Mr. Yan from now on, and can no longer call me Uncle Yan Bing."
Fubao was puzzled for a moment, then his eyes turned, and he asked with a flattering smile, "Uncle, calling me Mr. means you have to teach me something. The last person Fubao called Mr. was my brother's Mr., so are you willing to teach me how to read?"
Yan Bing was surprised. This little girl was just going along with it when he asked her to change her words. But he was happy to teach the little girl. After all, he rarely saw such a smart child. However, Yan Bing wanted to test Fubao deliberately to see how she would answer.
"What if I don't want to teach you? Will you not call me Mr.? From now on, I will change my name to Mr. Yan. That's what your father calls me." After saying this, Jia Yanbing looked at Fubao with a smile.
"If uncle insists that Fubao call you that, of course Fubao can't refuse your face, but Fubao's way of addressing you is just the same as others, it's just a title. But if you teach me to read, then you will be Fubao's real teacher, and you will be respected and honored by Fubao. Uncle, you will definitely not be disappointed to accept such a smart student like me."
Fubao patted her chest confidently, with a look of pride and a bit of coquettishness on her face, which made Jia Yanbing feel overwhelmed. He really got lucky to have such a cute and smart female student.
"That's fine, but I never accept disciples. Since I'm making an exception for you today, you will be my first disciple and my last disciple. I will pass on all my knowledge to you, but you have to be prepared. I have learned a lot of knowledge, including astronomy, geography, business, Confucianism, Taoism, and the History of War. Don't cry when the time comes."
Fubao's eyes lit up after hearing this. She looked at Jia Yanbing with stars in her eyes, "Wow, you are amazing, sir. Can one person learn so many things? But Mr. He said that it is more valuable to be specialized than to be broad. You have learned so much, don't you have several heads?"
Fubao had an image in her mind of Jia Yanbing having several heads, and several handsome faces smiling at her, which looked a little weird.
Fubao quickly shook his little head hard to get rid of the images in his mind.
But Jia Yanbing's next words really opened Fubao's eyes and also laid a certain foundation for Fubao's future achievements.
"When I was three or four years old, I followed my grandfather to a western country across the ocean. We sailed on the sea for three years and arrived at a country called the Frankish Kingdom. It was then that I realized that the world is so big. In addition to land, there is also ocean, and at the end of the ocean is land."
"What shocked me the most was that there are people in this world who don't have black eyes, black hair and yellow skin, but people there have yellow hair, blue eyes and white skin."
Fubao was listening attentively, his mouth slightly open, staring at Jia Yanbing without blinking.
Jia Yanbing seemed to be lost in that memory as well, and continued slowly, "We stayed in the Frankish Kingdom for a year. Because I had a good talent for languages and I was only six or seven years old at the time, and my grandfather said that I was very intelligent and learned things very quickly, I basically mastered their local language when I left. I then realized that their medicine was completely different from ours."
"I remember that my grandfather had appendicitis and was in unbearable pain, so I went to the local church. Their doctor wanted to operate on my grandfather. I was terrified and refused. Finally, they explained that my grandfather had an inflammation here and had to be removed, otherwise he would be in danger of his life on the return trip."
Jia Yanbing pointed to his lower right abdomen and told Fubao the location of his appendix.
"This is where the appendix is. According to their doctors, the appendix is the end of the cecum and is prone to inflammation. If you stay at sea for a long time, it must be removed in advance. There are many sailors in their country who will undergo this operation before going to sea."
"What is surgery?" Fubao was a little confused.
"Surgery is what they call it in the West. It means using a knife to take out the dead organs in the body and then sew them up. This process is called surgery."
Fubao nodded in understanding, and urged Jia Yanbing to continue speaking.
"Fubao, let's let Mr. Yan go to the carriage to talk. It's getting late."
Fubao was a little unhappy, but she didn't refute it. She just felt a little disappointed.
After Jia Yanbing saw it, he smiled and touched Fubao's head.
"It's okay. I'll continue telling you. We'll talk as we walk."
In fact, Wan Laoer was also fascinated by what he was saying, but he was still worried about the food expenses for the group on the road.
Fubao was happy then. She took Jia Yanbing's hand, raised her head and said with a smile: "Sir, let me help you."
Jia Yanbing lowered his head and said with a deliberately stern face: "You haven't performed the apprenticeship ceremony yet, so you are not my student yet. Only after I drink the tea you offer me tomorrow can I be considered my apprentice and you and I can be considered master and apprentice."
"Is it so difficult to become your disciple? Okay, then uncle, can you continue your story? Then what? Was your grandfather's surgery successful?"
Fubao's eyes were full of curiosity.
