Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Chapter 122 Getting ready to leave

"We accept them all, no matter where they are from."

"That's good. I'll go back to my parents' house today to ask."

"Okay, everyone, let's go back to your homes and discuss it. We still have two days to consider it." Seeing that no one had anything to ask, Muramasa let everyone go home.

"Muramasa, could you please ask for us which house has a vacant room? We would like to stay here for a few days and leave after we finish our business. We will pay for the room, don't worry."

"Okay, girls, you are polite. You are bringing us business. How can we charge you money? I will arrange it for you right away."

Muramasa arranged Tian Xing'er and Fang Shiya to live in the home of a wealthy family in the village. They had an empty house, and the children were doing business in other places and would only come back during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.

"Sister Fang, our large-scale purchase of hemp and raw silk will surely attract the attention of your family. Is there any hidden meaning behind your arrangement?"

"I just want them to pay attention to us, so that they won't pay attention to other places. I received a letter from the second steward, saying that even he was being followed."

"Then what should we do with our plan? Should we ask my people to help you acquire the business? They don't even know my people."

"Don't worry, I've already thought of this. I've asked the second steward to contact Mr. Xu, and let Mr. Xu's people buy the remaining shops for us. They'll charge a little middleman fee. We're in the open, they're in the dark, so the others won't notice us."

"That's good. I was afraid that our actions would be known sooner or later."

"Yes, but no matter what we do, they will definitely find out. Now we can only race against time."

"Sister Fang, have you sent anyone to investigate the others? Who is your biggest threat right now?"

"That's a lot. They are stronger than me at the moment, and their business network is bigger than ours. I'm really counting on our current plan to work. Fortunately, they don't think highly of our layout yet."

"That's good. I'm just worried that they will keep an eye on this small business."

"Well, but it's because they are strong enough that they look down on us and give us the opportunity to develop. Otherwise, I would be in trouble."

The two chatted all night and waited at the ancestral hall the next day.

"It seems like not many people are coming?" Tian Xing'er was somewhat disappointed when she saw that only one or two families came after an hour.

"It's okay, let's wait and see. After all, they already have other orders, and some of them may not have the spare capacity to open new areas."

Tian Xinger knew that this was just self-consolation, but thinking about the two of them being outsiders, others really didn't dare to believe it. Even if the Fang family guaranteed it, who knew if we were really members of the Fang family? The Fang family might not keep their promises, so the villagers' concerns were understandable.

"Sister Fang, it seems like quite a few people have come." In the afternoon, when everyone had little confidence, several villagers suddenly came.

"That's great. I hope we can sign more people today."

"Yes, Miss Fang, don't worry. They may still be considering it. I believe there will be more people coming tomorrow." Muramasa sent his eldest son to help.

Perhaps as Muramasa's son said, although there were fewer people on the first day, on the second day, about half of the village came, and some were from other villages. This made Tian Xing'er and the others very happy. They squeezed out time to go to the toilet in the morning, and only helped everyone confirm and sign the contract in the afternoon.

After finishing their work here, Tian Xing'er and his team left Xu County and went to the surrounding counties, where they did the same thing again. They found the largest county, looked for shops there, and approached the surrounding villagers to purchase raw silk and linen. But in reality, they kept buying up shops in the villages and towns surrounding the selected counties. If there was no ready-made one, they would rent one from someone themselves.

However, they did not dare to go to the important capitals of the Fang family. They focused on the surrounding areas, county towns that others looked down upon, and some that were well developed.

"Sister Fang, now that the shop has been set up, and the academy in Shang County has hired a formal teacher, I think it's time to leave."

"Sister Xing'er, why is it so sudden? I was hoping that you could continue to help me here, and we can build a new Fang family memorial archway together."

"Sister, everything is back on track now. I can't help you with anything else. My parents wrote to urge us to go to the north. I have been delayed for a long time and I have to go."

"Ah, I really can't bear to let you go, but you are leaving, so I won't keep you any longer. Let's set up a banquet in a few days so that I can see you off properly. You have helped me so much, I don't know how to repay you."

"It's very simple to repay me. Sister, you just need to help me make money. I will be responsible for collecting the money, and I don't have to do it myself. I really want it."

"Hahaha, okay, you lazy girl."

Ever since a new teacher came to the school, Tian Yuze has resigned from the position. Apart from teaching, he usually goes horseback hunting with Jiu Ye and Xu Tianyan from Mr. Xu's family.

"Sister, are we really leaving? I want to tell you something."

"what's up?"

"Tianyan and his friends are going back to the capital soon. He invited me to go with him to the capital. I haven't visited my grandfather for a long time. It's a good opportunity for me to visit him this time. What do you think?"

"You don't want to study hard again. Sister Yuze knows that you are talented, but you can't be so unmotivated. If Dad finds out that you haven't studied much along the way, he will definitely ask Big Brother to teach you a lesson."

"Sister, please let me go to the capital. I promised Tianyan that I would go with him. It just so happens that we can bring some silk and rouge from Jiangnan to sell on the way, and then help you find a market for them."

"You don't need to find a market. If you want to go, go ask Dad. If Dad agrees, I agree."

"Hehe, I've actually already told Dad about that. Dad said as long as you agree, he'll agree. He also said if I go, I can study in the capital for two years and it will be more convenient for me to go back to Jiangnan to take the exam. Just agree to it, sister."

"You've already written the report, and you're here now." Tian Xing'er was so angry that she wanted to hit her brother. "Give me the letter and let me see if Dad really said that."

"Here, I've prepared it a long time ago." Seeing Tian Xing'er relax, Tian Yuze immediately took out the letter that he had prepared long ago from his arms happily.

"Since Dad has agreed, I can only let you go, but you must study hard when you get to the capital. I will send a team to take you back, and you must be careful on the road and don't do what you did before."

"Hey, I understand, sister. Don't worry. By the way, sister, can Uncle Jiang Jin accompany me to Beijing? With Uncle Jiang Jin accompanying us, we will definitely be safe along the way. And Uncle Jiang Jin himself said that he wanted to go to Beijing to see the world. He said he hasn't been there yet."

"You two have colluded with each other."

"Hehe, no way."

"Okay, then let Uncle Jiang Jin lead the team to go to the capital with you."

"Oh, and sister, can I take that one?"

"Which one?"

"That's it, sister, don't play dumb. I know Dad sent you that thing, and I thought it would be safer for us to carry one with us."

"It's so big, how can you carry it? You can't let anyone see it."

"Sister, you are not being honest. I have secretly checked it. Dad and the others also sent you a small one this time, not only the long one. I want the small one. Uncle Jiang Jin and I can each take one. With it, we will feel more at ease on the road."

"Tian Yuze, did you plan this a long time ago?"

"Hehe, sister, you can't say that. Are you going to give it to me or not?" Tian Yuze said as he pulled his sister's hand and started to act coquettishly, and motioned Jiu Ye to follow him and rub against Tian Xing'er's feet.

"Okay, okay, but you must not let anyone else know, not even your best friend, understand?"

"Don't worry, sister. I know the seriousness of the matter. Uncle Jiang Jin and I are both tight-lipped people. We won't talk nonsense and won't show our things to others casually. We will definitely carry them with us."

"Okay, as long as you know the importance of this. When will Master Xu leave?"

"In a few days, they said they would see how the talks went. If not, they would leave first."
