With a shy and joyful call, a delicate and beautiful figure appeared in front of Su Hao. Su Hao took a closer look and couldn't help being surprised. He opened his arms and hugged the other person to his chest. It turned out that this person was Su Hao.
Missing sister Lu Xiuer.
"Xiu'er, you're here!" Su Hao said excitedly.
"Brother Hao, please don't..." Lu Xiuer hurriedly struggled to get out of Su Hao's arms, her face flushed with embarrassment. While she was arranging her clothes that were messed up by Su Hao, she scolded: "Brother Hao, do it.
Well, in front of so many people..."
Su Hao followed Lu Xiuer's gaze and found that there were a lot of people standing behind Lu Xiuer, including his mother Yang Gendi, craftsman Hao Qing, scholar Ma Yu, Jiang Yida, etc. What he didn't expect was that,
Two people he met in the woodcutter, the student Xu Guangqi and the businessman Xiong Ji, actually came with them. The large living room of the Su Mansion was packed with people.
The person who led them in was Liu Fu, who had been demoted to the second housekeeper. Looking at the group of new faces, Liu Fu looked a little embarrassed. He wondered if Su Hao would choose someone to replace him from these people.
Reducing his status to the third housekeeper, or even the N housekeeper.
"Liu Fu, quickly find some maids and ask them to take the old lady and young lady to the room to rest and wash up." Su Hao ordered Liu Fu.
"Yes!" Liu Fu agreed and hurried to Luo.
"Mom, have you had a hard time along the way?" Su Hao stepped forward to help Yang Gendi and asked.
Yang Gendi looked at Su Hao with loving eyes and asked: "Hao'er, are you used to being here in the capital? No one will bully you, right?"
Su Hao smiled and said: "Mom, look what you said, this is the emperor's feet, how can anyone bully me? Look, my son, am I not stronger than before?"
"That's good." Seeing her son's confident look, Yang Gendi felt at ease. She looked at the living room where she was and asked, "Hao'er, whose house is this big house like?"
Su Hao said: "Mom, this is our home. Didn't you see the word "Su's Mansion" written on the door?"
"Look at what you kid said, mom is illiterate." Yang Gendi concealed it. In fact, even if she was illiterate, she could at least recognize the word "Su" written on the door. She just didn't expect her son to be so capable.
Such a large industry can be set up in a place like Beijing.
Liu Fu called a few girls and accompanied Yang Gendi and Lu Xiuer to the back house where the female relatives lived. Su Hao didn't care to talk to his mother and sister at this time. He needed to settle Hao Qing, Ma Yu and others first.
Say it again.
"My dear friends, thank you for your hard work coming here." Su Hao bowed to everyone and said.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Su!"
"Brother Su is too polite."
"Change it to free of charge."
Everyone returned the gift one after another according to their relationship with Su Hao. After some greetings, everyone sat down separately, and Su Hao asked about everyone's arrival in Beijing.
After Su Hao signed a cooperation agreement with Dong Tianzhang and Yang Laizhen, he planned to start his own business in the capital. Hao Qing, Ma Yu and others were all Su Hao's team members in Fengcheng, and he naturally hoped that these people could join
Beijing came to help him. However, the relationship between Ma Yu and Su Hao was not that of master and servant, so Su Hao could not force them to go to Beijing. He just wrote a few letters to explain the situation in the capital, and then
Ask for their opinions and ask them to choose whether to come to the capital to develop together with Su Hao based on their own circumstances.
After receiving Su Hao's letter, everyone carefully considered how to weigh the pros and cons. In the end, the old craftsman Hao Yizong did not go to Beijing because of his old age, but asked his son Hao Qing to take a few
Famous craftsmen came. Ma Yu, Jiang Yida and other students had always admired Su Hao very much. When they heard Su Hao's call, they all agreed to go to the capital together. For them, coming to the capital was to help Su Hao.
On the other hand, doing things can also expand your social circle, which will also be beneficial to participating in the imperial examination in the future.
As for Xu Guangqi, the situation is different. He originally planned to go to Guangdong to teach to make a living due to livelihood constraints. After meeting Su Hao by chance at Qiaosheyi and talking all night long, Xu Guangqi changed his original intention and took the letter written by Su Hao.
The letter of introduction went to Fengcheng Longguang Academy to find a job. During the past six months or so, while Xu Guangqi was teaching at Longguang Academy, he and his tutor Wu Zhicheng jointly studied the few booklets on mathematics, physics and chemistry left by Su Hao, and gained a lot.
Xu Guangqi was born to be extremely sensitive to science and engineering knowledge. The principles that Wu Zhicheng could not understand were not a problem for Xu Guangqi. At the beginning, Wu Zhicheng gave Xu Guangqi a class and introduced the way of studying things. Soon, the roles of teacher and student began to change.
The situation was reversed, and Wu Zhicheng asked Xu Guangqi for relevant knowledge.
During this period, Xu Guangqi also participated in the construction of Luoshan Reservoir and witnessed firsthand how knowledge can change the world. He was greatly shocked in his heart and strengthened his determination to learn science and engineering knowledge.
After receiving Su Hao's letter from the capital, Xu Guangqi almost did not hesitate and decided to go north to join Su Hao. After a period of study, he increasingly realized that Su Hao's knowledge was profound and profound, far from what Su Hao had left behind.
The few pamphlets given to Wu Zhicheng can accommodate it. Going to the capital will give him more time to discuss knowledge with Su Hao. This alone is enough for him to give up everything else.
What Su Hao didn't expect the most was the appearance of Xiong Ji. Xiong Ji was a businessman from Zhejiang. When he was at Qiaosheyi, he had a chat with Su Hao and knew that Su Hao had some inventions in his hands, so he proposed
He wanted to cooperate with Su Hao in business. Su Hao couldn't resist Xiong Ji's request and wrote him a letter of introduction, introducing him to Fengcheng to contact Lu Xiuer about business matters. After that, Su Hao forgot about this person and didn't expect it at all.
What new interactions will he have with himself?
Su Hao didn't know that Xiong Ji was very serious when he said he wanted to do business with him. After leaving Qiaosheyi, Xiong Ji finished handling the matters at hand and made a special trip to Fengcheng to meet Lu Xiuer, Hao Yizong and others. There.
After that, he began to purchase telescopes, equipment made of high manganese steel, phosphate fertilizer, cement and other items from Su's Trading Company, and sold them elsewhere at high prices, making quite a bit of money.
This time, when Su Hao wrote to Fengcheng and summoned Lu Xiuer to come to the capital, Xiong Ji happened to be in Fengcheng. After hearing about this, he offered to go to the capital with everyone. He heard that Su Hao was in the capital with
He wanted to see if he could find some opportunities in Su Hao's new business.
"Thanks to Brother Xiong for taking care of us along the way." Ma Yu pointed at Xiong Ji and introduced to Su Hao.
"No, no, Xiong just spent some money to occasionally arrange accommodation for you, so there's no point in taking care of you." Xiong Ji said politely, and he still admitted that he took care of everyone. In fact,
Along the way, the people he took the most thorough care of were Yang Gendi and Lu Xiuer. He believed that these mother and daughter would definitely tell Su Hao about this.
Although Su Hao has not communicated with his mother and sister about the situation along the way, he also understood something from the conversation between Ma Yu and Xiong Ji. He hugged Xiong Ji and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiong, for your help along the way.
, my mother and sister are also thanks to Brother Xiong for taking care of them, right? Su Hao would like to express his gratitude."
Xiong Ji quickly responded: "Brother Su Xian, you are serious. Your mother is my mother, and your sister is my sister. Isn't it right to take care of them? Brother Yu came uninvited, and he hasn't invited Brother Haihan yet.
.”
Su Hao said with a smile: "Brother Xiong is a distinguished guest that Su Hao cannot even invite. How can I say that he is so humble? I want to do something in the capital and I need help from people who know business. Brother Xiong, are you willing to give me some advice?
two?"
Xiong Ji also laughed and said: "Haha, you're welcome to change. In the past half year or so, Xiong has relied on the changed Su's Trading Company to make some money. This time he shamelessly came to Beijing because he wanted to follow the change.
I’ll make some big money later.”
"There are still many opportunities in the capital. Let's make a fortune together." Su Hao replied.
This time, many people came, but Su Mansion was a big house and there were a lot of vacant rooms. Liu Fu led the guests to arrange the rooms one by one, and soon everyone was settled in. In the evening, Su Mansion had a large queue
The banquet is to wash away the dust of everyone who has come all the way from Jiangxi. There is no need to go into details about the various entertainments during the banquet.
Yang Gendi and Lu Xiuer were both female relatives and were not suitable to attend the banquet. After the banquet, Su Hao had time to go to the back house and chat with his mother and sister about home affairs.
"Brother, when you came to the capital, did you see the emperor?" Lu Xiuer asked rather gossiping.
"Well... we have met." Su Hao confessed that Wanli disguised himself to meet him. He didn't even tell Deng Kui, Chen Guanyu and others about this, but for his mother and sister, he still
There is no need to hide it.
"Son, have you really seen the emperor? Have you kowtowed?" Yang Gendi asked nervously.
Su Hao said: "I was so nervous at the time that I forgot to kowtow. But the emperor is very polite to others, so he didn't blame me."
"You kid, how could you forget such a big thing?" Yang Gendi scolded.
Su Hao said a few perfunctory words, and then warned: "Mom, Xiu'er, don't go out and talk nonsense about what happened when I saw the emperor. The emperor came out to see me incognito in private, and no one else can know about it."
"Oh, we know, we know, and we definitely won't go out and talk nonsense." Yang Gendi responded repeatedly. She didn't know what a private visit in private was, but when it came to matters involving the emperor, any ordinary citizen would be very cautious.
of.
Su Hao asked about the situation at home again, and Yang Gendi and Lu Xiuer rushed to answer him. Speaking of Su's Trading Company, Lu Xiuer told Su Hao that after she left, Su Xiaohu was left to take care of it, and the officials in the county had no control over the trading company.
He also took good care of him, so Su Hao didn't have to worry.
"Is the current magistrate of Fengcheng still the magistrate of Han?" Su Hao asked casually.
"That's natural." Lu Xiuer said. Speaking of Korean, she suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but smile: "Brother, what you want to ask is probably not County Magistrate Han, but Miss Han?" (To be continued. Please search.
