Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 464: The 9th Prince recommends teachers to Su He's brothers

They walked along the corridor and looked at the front yard bit by bit. In some places in the yard, there were bamboos, in some places metasequoias, in some places banyan trees, and there were also pine trees, willow trees, etc. There were no less than dozens of tree species in the yard alone, from both the south and the north.

There are also those small bridges, flowing water, ponds and waterside pavilions, which show how much the original owner took care of this yard. This yard is better than Mr. Zhao's current yard, which is probably why he is reluctant to sell it!

However, the location here is good and the price is relatively high. If you are short of money, you still have to sell it. Besides, for officials, the old house has good feng shui, and generally no one sells the ancestral house without special reasons. The prodigal son is another matter. He can sell his wife and children, let alone dead things. In the end, he will sell everything.

The more Su He looked at it, the more satisfied he was. The courtyard was very similar to the courtyard he had seen in Suzhou in his later life. It was probably a replica of ancient architecture! The architectural style of the houses here was full of flying eaves and arches, curved walls and carved beams. Everywhere were masterpieces of exquisite carpentry and tile work. The best craftsmen in Ansheng Country should all gather here.

Think about it, emperors of every dynasty built their own palace complexes. In the era of supreme imperial power, the imperial palace and various temporary palaces would allow some craftsmen to live here for generations to serve the royal family.

Su He thought that when he made a lot of money, his family would buy a farm in the capital, and he would have a chance to hire craftsmen to build it well, so that he could truly own a holiday villa. The more Su He thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and he walked around the yard with a silly smile on his face.

Yingying looked at her mistress and shouted, "Miss, what good things are you thinking? You are laughing so inexplicably."

In fact, she wanted to say that she was laughing so foolishly, but she didn't care and used the idiom she knew. This was also a catchphrase that Su He often used. If she didn't understand, she would just say it was inexplicable.

After hearing what she said, Su He came to his senses and silently swore in his heart that his dream would come true.

Their family had settled down in the capital. The next step was to go to Fumanlou, and then to meet the Ninth Prince. The brothers could study at home with peace of mind. They couldn't rush to become his apprentices, and needed to find out more before making any plans.

The masters were tired from the journey and could rest now. They just needed to take care of the house. If the masters were not here, they would have to hire a few more servants to guard the house.

On this day, Su He and his father went to the largest Fu Man Lou. It was also a coincidence that the Ninth Prince was having a drink here today. When the shopkeeper heard them say that they were from the border town and their surname was Su, he knew who they were.

He asked them to wait in the back. The Ninth Prince came over and greeted the Su family father and daughter with a smile, "Shopkeeper Su, Miss Su, you are here. Long time no see."

Su He and his father stepped forward and knelt down to pay their respects. There was nothing they could do since they were royal nobles. The Ninth Prince quickly asked them to stand up and sit down, and asked the servants to serve tea to the guests.

The Ninth Prince asked about the Su brothers and was very happy to know that all three of them had passed the provincial examination.

He smiled and said, "You haven't become my disciple yet! I have a good master here, do you need an introduction?"

Su He's father was of course willing, and he immediately replied: "We have just settled down and are going to become apprentices. It would be great if we could have your recommendation. We are not familiar with the capital, so how could we have the right person you can recommend?"

The Ninth Prince took out one of his own cards, handed it to Su He's father and said, "Shopkeeper Su, please take some time to see Grand Secretary Wen Lan. He is knowledgeable, upright and upright, and a good teacher."

Su He heard that there was a way. His master Ye had also mentioned Wen Lan, and they seemed to be good friends. This time, the master's letter was for him, so this double insurance would definitely work.

Su He's father expressed his gratitude to the Ninth Prince, saying that his child's future was the most important thing in the family. They had a good chat, and Su He signed another unequal treaty and produced a series of recipes.

The Ninth Prince liked to see the girl's embarrassed expression. The more embarrassed she was, the better the things she produced. Her strength should not be underestimated. His business was getting better and better, all thanks to the things she gave him.
