Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 196: 2 before going to Beijing

She left with nothing, but returned with a full load. Song Sanniang was sent back to her sweet home by the Tan family's horse-drawn carriage. The driver helped to move the things in, and Song Sanniang gave him a reward. The driver left happily.

Song Sanniang had just come back and was about to go out again. She had to go find Master Hu.

When she arrived, Master Hu was teaching Si Niang and the others. She went in and followed along. After a while of free time, she told Master Hu that she was going to the capital.

She said that her course needed to be interrupted, and asked Master Hu to take care of Si Niang and the others, and hoped that Master Hu could give her some advice.

For example, I could recommend some books to her for her to continue studying after coming to Beijing, or give her a notebook like the one I gave her before. She has read all the previous notes and gained a lot from them.

Master Hu was a little surprised when she heard the purpose of Song Sanniang's visit, but she quickly agreed to supervise the children's studies and not let them slack off.

Then she picked up a pen and wrote down the names of some books for Song Sanniang to read when she came to Beijing. Finally, she chatted with Song Sanniang for a while and gave her a prescription.

"This is a book passed down in my family. I copied a copy. It contains prescriptions for treating various minor ailments and strengthening the body.

There are also prescriptions for relieving fatigue from long journeys, various remedies for acclimatization, and treatments for seasickness and motion sickness.

Take it and get some medicine according to the prescription. It may be useful on the road. I wish you a safe journey."

In this era when all skills and unique knowledge are kept secret, Mr. Hu's behavior is no less than handing over the family heritage to Song Sanniang. This is a gift worth a thousand gold.

You know, these prescriptions were accumulated by several generations of Master Hu's family. Although her family is not a medical family, her ancestors were scholars, and her father was a scholar.

It is really important for scholars to have a strong physique, because every major exam is a tormenting thing. Taking the exam locally means just staying in the cramped examination room for a few days. If you are not in good health, getting sick is a small matter.

However, if you travel a long distance from a small place to a big place to take the exam, in an era with inconvenient transportation, rampant bandits, and lack of medical care, it is very dangerous. A minor injury or illness is enough to lose one's life.

There are also quite a few southerners who cannot adapt to the climate in the north, and there are also quite a few northerners who fall ill due to the climate in the south.

Therefore, such a book of prescriptions accumulated by generations of scholars in the Hu family is so precious. Song Sanniang thanked him solemnly.

Then he said, "I will go back and copy this book, and then return it to you, Master."

Master Hu didn't think it was a big deal. After she gave the book to him, she could go home and copy another one. But since her student was like that, she couldn't say anything, so she just let her do as she pleased.

When Uncle Liu heard that his wife was going to Beijing with his niece, he went to the capital. After seeing his wife, he asked her about her.

Knowing that she was determined, Uncle Liu felt a little complicated. He didn't expect that his wife would be as courageous as a man. He could only say that she didn't have the chance before.

His idea was not to keep her, but to follow her to the capital. If his wife could go, then he could go too.

As for the sweet matter of rice, flour, grain and oil supply, his second brother could hire someone to help him, and he could leave, so he told his wife about his idea.

The eldest aunt agreed. She felt that she and her husband were still young, and Sanniang was such a daring and hardworking child, so what did they have to fear?

The couple went to Song Sanniang and told her about this. Song Sanniang had originally planned to let Mr. He San take charge of the materials for the Beijing store.

Since her uncle was going, she could hand it over to him when the time came, so she asked her uncle to go back and prepare things for going to Beijing.

She had also chosen the candidate for the second shopkeeper, a boy who ran errands. He came to find Song Sanniang. At first sight, Song Sanniang knew that he was the person she was looking for. His eyes were full of ambition.

His name is He Shengtian, a very impressive name. He is the eldest son of a wealthy merchant. Before he was born, his father's wife and concubine gave birth to six daughters in a row.

When he was born, he was the apple of everyone's eye. But the good times didn't last long. When he was ten years old, his wife finally gave birth to a son, and his status plummeted.

Later, his biological mother was forced to death by his legal wife. Before she died, she was afraid that he would be killed as well, so she gave him her private property and let him escape.

After his mother's funeral was over, he took the money and fled to Xiantao Prefecture. He started a small business and made some money, but later he lost it all due to a mistake.

Song Sanniang happened to be looking for an errand boy, so he became one. However, he was unwilling to be an errand boy forever, so he worked for Song Sanniang. He saw what Song Sanniang did,

He felt that Song Sanniang was his mentor, and he would work hard to make her see that he was a talented horse.

Song Sanniang was very satisfied with him and gave him a settlement fee so that he could buy his own things for going to the capital. From then on, Song Sanniang's team for going to the capital was set.

She also bought the clothes for everyone in her team and after distributing them to everyone, she went to the county town to find Miss He.

When we arrived at the He Mansion, we saw that both inside and outside the house were busy. People in the house were carrying all kinds of large and small objects, from beds, tables, chairs and stools to cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks. They were all placed on the vehicles lined up at the door and transported to the boats at the dock.

Song Sanniang entered the mansion and met Miss He. She was also very busy, busy directing her subordinates to pack up the things she wanted to take away.

Seeing Song Sanniang, she rarely showed her dignity. She collapsed on the bed and said, "I'm so tired. I don't want to get married."

Song Sanniang went over to massage her shoulders and back. She had cervical spondylosis before, so she learned some massage techniques.

Miss He didn't expect that she had this skill, and she enjoyed her massage comfortably. "After being massaged like this for a while, I feel much better. By the way, have you prepared everything? We will leave in two days."

"Everything is ready. I just came to check in with you and see if there's anything I missed."

The two discussed for a while and found that they had indeed not missed anything, so they moved on to other topics. At this time, the servant announced that the third master had arrived. Miss He continued to lie there and asked him to come in.

Seeing two people, one massaging shoulders and backs, and the other lying on the bed, He Pingdu chuckled.

"Why, you little devil, when did you turn into a little girl who pats shoulders and massages backs? And you, you are so unbecoming. You are still acting like this when the elders are here. Will your husband's family be like this after you get married?"

"Uncle, stop making noise. I'm so tired. Let me sleep for a while." Miss He felt comfortable being pinched, and soon she fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Song Sanniang covered her with a blanket gently and followed the guidance of Master He San to the corridor of the courtyard. The two of them started chatting.

"Have you prepared everything for going to the capital?" He Pingdu asked.

"We are ready and can set off at any time." Song Sanniang replied.

"Okay, I've already written a letter to Beijing. The people there will arrange a shop for me after receiving the letter.

Everything you said will be arranged, is there anything else you need me to prepare?"

When Song Sanniang wrote to He Pingdu, she made it clear that she wanted to cooperate with him, what he needed to provide, what Song Sanniang would provide, how the profits would be divided, and then both parties could make their own arrangements.

"My team is ready. Since you have also given the order, there shouldn't be any problem." Song Sanniang thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so she replied.

He Pingdu saw Song Sanniang's serious face and patted her head. "Okay, don't worry. I'm here to take care of anything. Just don't worry. Remember to bring enough thick clothes with you. It's getting cold outside Xiantao Prefecture."

Song Sanniang just felt weird talking to him alone for the first time, so she was a little serious, and she just nodded along with what he said.

After leaving He Mansion, she went to Tianlanmi in the county town.
