Chapter 90 Return to Hometown to Visit Old Friends Again

Geng Xiaofan and his party came to Chang'an, and it was time to break up.

Wang Mang and Lou Hu both held his hand, reluctant to leave.

"Brother Jujun, all the banquets in the world will be separated. Let's leave here first. Wait until you settle down and take care of your wounds and go to Maoling as a guest."

Geng Xiaofan sent an invitation. Although this guy ended up badly, he would at least be powerful and powerful, and it should be no harm to make friends with him. He even said that if he was happy and "instructed" him a little, maybe history would change. Haha!

Lou Hu also gave Wang Mang the plaster he made, "I wish Brother Jujun a quick recovery."

In the early stage, the Lou family had arranged for people to rent a shop on Anmen Street, Chang'an City, and the group settled it down.

"This place is good. In the future, your sister-in-law and I will come to Chang'an to go shopping, and there is also a place to drink tea."

Geng Xiaofan was very satisfied with the location of the Loujia store. It can be said to be the most prosperous area in Chang'an City. Especially in Changle, the two palaces in Weiyang are on both sides of the street.

Lou Hu really wanted to keep Geng Xiaofan and his party in Chang'an for a few more days, but Geng Xiaofan was eager to return home. It wouldn't matter if he was the only one of him and Fei'er, but he still had a dozen children with him.

The older ones are less than ten years old, and the younger ones are only five or six years old. They were a little restrained and scared, but they didn't expect that their new "mother and dad" were so kind and even better than their parents! Especially the things made by this new "dad" are so delicious that they have never eaten.

Moreover, no matter how much food they eat, they always watch themselves eat a little after drinking enough.

So, in just a few days, these children had a deep relationship with Geng Xiaofan and his wife.

Looking at the sky, I can still arrive at Maoling after some time, and Geng Xiaofan decided not to delay any more.

Unfortunately, the sky is not as good as the human being. When I arrived at Xianyang Dun, Geng Xiaofan found that he could not go any further.

Xianyang Bridge has been in disrepair for a long time and has collapsed half of it and is under maintenance. I want to cross the river, but I can only wait for the ferry. But the ferry is already crowded with merchants.

"Fei'er, this place is not far from Wangxian Village. Let's stay at Xiaosi's place for one night." Geng Xiaofan understood that he could not go home today.

After the Chinese New Year, Xiao Si returned to Chang'an early and had already cleaned up the courtyard rented by Wangxianzhuang. The first batch of goods from Zhouda have also been shipped, and this "Zhou Family Trading Company" has been officially launched!

"Young Master, we have been waiting for you for more than a month!" Seeing Geng Xiaofan and his party, Xiao Si jumped up in surprise.

"Not bad! It's pretty decent. How about it? The business is OK!" Geng Xiaofan visited briefly and was very satisfied.

"It's okay. Brother Zhou's caravan has recruited some more people, and I have hired a few here, all of which are very good. With such a division of labor, not only will it be more efficient, but it will also have more goods to operate, so there will definitely be good returns this year." Xiao Si introduced and quickly arranged for people to prepare the guest rooms and meals.

"Xiao Si, you are busy first, I will visit the owner of Wang Manor." Since I arrived at Wangxian Village, Geng Xiaofan still had to visit him politely, and promised Wang Xian that he would get to know Fei'er.

After bringing a few jars of wine, Geng Xiaofan led Liu Fei'er to Wang Xian's mansion.

"Please sit down for a while, and the head of the family will come over immediately." The butler Wang Xiu politely received Geng Xiaofan and asked them to sit in the study.

Without any concern, Geng Xiaofan carefully observed Wang Xian's study for the first time.

"Brother Fan, this owner must be a well-educated man." Liu Feier said softly at the bamboo slips piled up in the study.

Although Wang Xian’s study cannot be said to be full of oxen, the bamboo slips are arranged neatly in categories.

Geng Xiaofan took out a volume casually.

"Fei'er, it's okay to go home. Teach me how to read and write." Geng Xiaofan started teasing his wife.

"I can't do it. When I get home, I'll invite you a teacher." Liu Fei'er said seriously.

"I have to invite a teacher! I have to invite a teacher. Feier, let's run a school so that these children and the children in the village can study."

Geng Xiaofan felt that this idea was good. This time he adopted more than a dozen children at once. It was all time for enlightenment, so it was time to hire a teacher for them.

Yes! Go home and do this first, run a "private school" and be the "principal" yourself! Let all the children in Gengjiazhuang come to "school".

Education is based on a century-old plan! You have to start with children, and you can also teach them some writing and calculations to cultivate all these children into talents.

"Sir Geng Jue wants to run a school?" Wang Xian was sweating profusely and walked into the study quickly.

"Master Wang!" Geng Xiaofan quickly put down the bamboo slips, saluted Wang Xian, and introduced Fei'er.

"I have heard that my wife is gentle and virtuous, but today I see it very different." Wang Xian politely invited the two to sit down.

"I wonder what private school Mr. Geng wants to run? Books, calculations, laws, doctors, or something?"

"We were joking, but suddenly I had an idea, thinking of asking a gentleman to teach the children in the village to read and read, and they could understand things when they grew up and had a good meal. I wonder if the owner of the village would have a suitable candidate to recommend it to me." Geng Xiaofan didn't expect that Wang Xian heard the conversation with Fei'er.

"Judgun is full of knowledge, how dare Wang Xian show off his skills? Our dynasty has always attached great importance to official schools, and there are not many private schools among the people. Geng Jue's great deed is really a blessing for the children of Maoling."

"What am I full of knowledge? Master Wang is a PhD in the Imperial Academy, you are the master, so please give me some advice." Geng Xiaofan politely praised Wang Xian.

"By the way, I'm asking for advice." Geng Xiaofan remembered the book he picked up just now, which was "The Book of Rites", and he remembered the "Great Learning" chapter again.

"I dare not take it for advice, but if you know something, you will definitely tell me everything."

"There is a university article in the Book of Rites. Do you know?" Geng Xiaofan asked carefully.

"The way of university lies in the bright virtue." Wang Xian recited a soft sentence, but frowned. "The Lord is indeed hidden. This article is only taught in the Imperial Academy. There is little known among the people. I don't know where the Lord learned it?"

"Oh, that's it! I also met a master during my trip. I heard him talk about this article, but I didn't know the authenticity and I specifically asked the teacher for verification."

Geng Xiaofan made up a lie, but he also understood that Wang Mang's reading of "The Book of Rites" must be incomplete. At this moment, only doctors from the Imperial Academy can get in touch with the "Five Classics".

"I wonder who this master is?" Wang Xian was interested.

"I don't want to leave a name for my own sake, so I can't force it." Geng Xiaofan continued to ask for refusal. He couldn't talk about this issue anymore, and he couldn't make it up any longer.

The two chatted casually for a few words, and Geng Xiaofan found that although Wang Xian was polite and polite, he was a little "absent-minded" and seemed to have something to do in his mind.

"Has Master Wang encountered any problems?" Geng Xiaofan couldn't help but be curious.

"I'm not intimate that the Lord said, I originally had a daughter, who was only 28 years old. She disappeared mysteriously last year and had been searching for a year but had no news. The servant just reported that someone seemed to have seen her."
