Chapter 365: Doing Business

While talking, Yang Santie came back from the academy, looking at the wind and fire, he was very anxious.

"What are you causing trouble like, you little monkey?" Jiang Ning looked at the bright sun outside and felt a little distressed.

Yang Santie wiped his sweat and said, "Auntie, I want to go on a business trip and study. Please arrange some people for me."

Jiang Ning looked stunned, "When did it happen? Why didn't I know? Who are you going with? The gentleman from the academy?"

Yang Santie shook his head, "No, I'll go by myself!"

“Huh?” Jiang Ning had a question mark on his face.

Xu Nuoyan was even more confused, "Don't you still want to participate in Qiuwei?"

"No, no, no, I won't play anymore!" Yang Santie shook his head like a rattle, "Auntie, second sister-in-law, you also know that I was in the right place at the right time and with the right people. I was lucky enough to be selected as a scholar. Qiu Wei didn't even You don’t have to look at it, you definitely won’t be able to pass it. I’m fifteen now, Liang Shaoqian and I are about to get married, and I don’t want to continue to waste time like this!

You know that I like to make money. Before, I boasted to my mother-in-law that I would pay for my wife in the future, but now the money is not enough! "

Yang Santie folded his hands, feeling very sad.

Xiu Yan was happy, "Could it be that you also want to get married?"

Jiang Ning looked over immediately.

Yang Santie was so frightened that he shook his head and waved his hands, "Second sister-in-law! Stop making fun of me! I just want to make money, lots and lots of money."

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Ning weakly, with a pleading look on his face, "Auntie, you promised me before. As long as I study hard, you promised me to do business."

Jiang Ning sighed, rubbed his eyebrows, and smiled helplessly, "Since I promised you, I won't regret it, but are you really planning to give up your official career?"

"No." Yang Santie looked outside, with a bit of sadness in his eyes, "The main reason is that I feel that the world outside is vast, and I have been stuck in one place staring at a book and can't understand the meaning. Instead of doing this, I might as well go out for a walk. , I can not only make money, but also increase my knowledge. In a few years, I think I will be ready to go back to college, and I may gain new insights, don’t you think so?”

"Yes!" Jiang Ning answered in the affirmative, "Since you have thought about it, I won't stop you, but it's chaotic outside, so if you really go out, you need to bring more people with you."

Yang Santie touched his nose and said, "It doesn't take too much! Xiaohua can run around alone. She is not afraid of a little girl. What should I be afraid of?"

Xu Nuoyan stared in shock, "You can't compare with Xiaohua. With Xiaohua's medical skills, you don't have to worry about wherever you go, can you?"

“That’s right!” Jiang Ning was convinced.

In spite of Yang Santie's resistance, she sent someone back to Ping'an County to find Wu Changfeng, to provide him with a team of escorts and arrange some bodyguards, so that she could feel at ease.

It was already the end of July when Yang Santie left with the caravan.

There have been several heavy rains in Quzhou Prefecture. It is humid and hot. The cicadas chirping outside the window are endless, as if they are about to pierce the eardrums.

Jiang Ning couldn't rest even if he wanted to. He was feeling depressed when he heard the sound of carriage coming from far away.

Huazhi went out to take a look, then came in with a happy face and reported: "Madam, the old lady and the others are here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. As soon as Jiang Ning sat up, Mrs. Li was helped by Mrs. Zhou and Yang Daya to step into the threshold. Yang Laosan supported Old Yang, and Yang Laigui followed beside him.

Yang Laigui was followed by Fang Muxi and his two children. The last ones walking behind were Yang Laoer and Bai Yuniang.

Jiang Ning glanced at them, his eyes fell on the Li family, and quickly asked the servants to watch the tea.

As soon as Ms. Li sat down, she couldn't wait to ask: "Are the Three Iron and Four Villages still in the academy? When we first entered the village, we took a look at the workshop. Erdan and Fugui were not there. Where did they go?"

Knowing that Li was thinking about his grandson, Jiang Ning hurriedly explained: "Last month, the imperial court allocated a group of exiled criminals to Quzhou Prefecture. There were many more people to build the city wall, and the government did not have to pay for the work. Master Ji was very happy. , ordered people to speed up the progress. Some of the brick kilns on Zhuangzi were not in supply, and there was still some distance from here to the east of the city.

Erdan felt that it was a waste of manpower and material resources, so he took Fugui to the east of the city, where he surrounded a few acres of land and built a large brick kiln specifically for building city walls. Fugui went to help. "

In the future, the brick kiln would be handed over to Yang Fugui, but Jiang Ning did not say it clearly in front of Yang Laoer and Bai Yuniang.

"This is a serious matter and cannot be delayed. There is no need to send someone to inform them." Old man Yang said quickly, for fear of missing the important event of his two grandsons.

Li continued to ask: "What about the Three Iron and Four Villages? Didn't you say that you were admitted as a scholar? Are you still studying? Aren't you coming back?"

Jiang Ning thought for a while and told Li truthfully, "It's not easy for him to be admitted as a scholar in Santie this time. He was thinking about going out to do business to make money. After spending a long time with me, I can only agree. The **** team has gone on a long trip, and Sizhuang is still in school. He is focused on pursuing an official career and wants to give it a try in autumn. Counting the days, it will be soon. "

Ms. Li was both happy and disappointed. "It's a good thing that children have ideas. In two days, I will go to the academy to see the four villages, and then go to the east of the city. I don't have to bother them. It's just the three irons. I won't be able to see them this time!"

Old man Yang in turn advised: "Same thing next time we meet! By the way, where is Erya from our family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Erya led a nanny through the door and ran towards Mr. Li and Old Man Yang, "Grandpa and grandma!"

She was seen wearing a water-pink plum dress, with a simple bun on her long black hair and a jade hairpin. She had a rosy complexion and her skin was fairer and more delicate than before. It looked like she was well-nourished.

Li was so happy that she hugged her and asked her for her welfare. The more she looked at her, the more satisfied she became. She couldn't help joking with Jiang Ning: "Erya has been raised by you to the point where I can hardly recognize her!"

Mrs. Zhou said from the side: "No! Auntie, Erya just walked in, and my daughter-in-law thought she saw a young lady from a wealthy family!"

Yang Erya blushed and was very shy, "Third Aunt, please stop teasing me! Auntie said that the Liang family is a scholarly family. Although Mr. Liang never minds my origin, I can't embarrass the Liang family. In the past six months, Come, grandma invited my grandma and Mr. Xi, and Xiaoya to teach me how to read and write.

Grandma taught me a lot of rules. I have to learn them every day when I open my eyes. As time goes by, I will get used to them. "

Mr. Zhou nodded repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, you are attentive. If you study hard, you will make no mistakes."

Yang Erya nodded heavily, his eyes fell on Yang Daya who was looking at her with a smile, "Sister."

Yang Daya's expression changed and she shook her head slightly.

Jiang Ning saw this but didn't take it seriously, "Go ahead, you sisters, go to the backyard and have a nice chat. I knew you were coming, so I had people clean up the yard in Xinghua Village, but the rooms there are limited and we can't live there." so many people."

Li took over the conversation immediately, "Just let the second and third sons live there."
