Chapter 860 Return to Zhangzhou Prefecture
After bidding farewell to the short and fat Shen, who was slightly more familiar than just a passerby, Sun Shan and his group continued to head south.
We soon finished the water route and started climbing the mountain road.
This section of the road is particularly painful. Sun Shan has climbed it three times, and this is the fourth time.
Meiguan is shaded by green trees at this time, and it would be very comfortable to stand still, but climbing the mountain under the scorching sun on a hot day would be particularly uncomfortable.
Gui Ge'er was carrying a large package and asked distressedly, "Brother Shan, do you want to hire a porter?"
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "No, I can walk by myself. This mountain road is nothing, I just need to walk slowly."
Seeing that Sun Shan could indeed hold on, Gui Ge'er stopped talking.
It costs a lot of money to hire a husband to carry you, and every penny you can save counts. They are all good men who can stay at home, so you can't be too extravagant.
Sun Dali also carried his luggage. He wiped the sweat off his forehead, took a few breaths and said, "After passing Meiguan, we will soon enter the territory of Zhangzhou Prefecture. Oh, it's great. I'm finally home."
In fact, Manager Li arranged for people to help carry the luggage, but Sun Dali was afraid that his valuables would be stolen, so he insisted on carrying it himself.
This is just looking for trouble.
Sun Dingnan was no less impressive. He put valuables on his body. If there was no place to put them, he would stare at them without blinking, for fear that they would be stolen.
He gulped down a few sips of water and said, "After we pass Meiguan, we will reach the most important pass in South Guangdong, and then we will reach Nanxiong, and we will soon reach Zhangzhou Prefecture. Oh, I'm finally home, it's so great."
Among the four people from Sunjia Village, Sun Shan didn't carry anything and went into battle with complete ease. However, he was also the weakest of the four and took a rest after walking a few steps.
Fortunately, the team's speed was not that fast, so they did not slow down the team.
Sun Shan said sadly, "It's almost there. It will be very soon. We won't have to walk when we get to Zhangzhou."
After arriving in Zhangzhou Prefecture, Sun Shan and his party continued by boat down the Beijiang River to Guangzhou Prefecture.
In fact, you can also stop in Zhangzhou Prefecture and take the mountain road directly back to Sunjia Village.
Then he thought about it and decided to go to Guangzhou first to meet Aunt Sun and the He family, and ask his father-in-law to help find two legal advisors.
Then go home, so you can stay at home longer.
Manager Li hired a porter to carry him. He was amazed to see Sun Shan actually going up and down the mountain step by step without any hesitation.
During the whole journey together, Lord Sun really had to be as low-key as possible. He would not be bothered if he could not be bothered. He just did his own thing and only looked for him when absolutely necessary.
Manager Li had never met such a "quiet" official.
It would be great if all the officials I meet in the future would be like Lord Sun.
I like such an easy-to-serve senior official the most.
Sun Shan had no idea what Manager Li was thinking, and even if he knew, he would not care.
He walked out of the village, and even though his identity had changed, he could not hide the "earthy" smell on his body.
The temperament is there, so there is no need to pretend to be expensive.
Continue doing what you should do, and continue saving money when you need to save money.
Sun Shan used to believe that it was better to earn more than to save.
This does make sense, but later on, I earned a lot but didn’t save, so I still had no money in my pocket.
So we should not only make money, but also save money and not spend money lavishly.
Even if you earn more, you will still have zero savings.
Sun Shan has quite a bit of money in his pocket now, and I believe he will have more if he gets some money from others.
After passing through Mei Pass, the group arrived at the most important pass in South Guangdong and officially entered the sphere of influence of Lingnan.
Sun Shan looked at the mountains and forests. Although the road ahead was not easy, he was in a very good mood.
The feeling of arriving at my hometown is different. The air is especially sweet and I am immersed in the joy of my hometown.
Steward Li smiled and said, "Master Sun, we have arrived in Guangnan. After a few more days, we will soon reach Guangzhou Prefecture. Alas, we are finally back here."
Sun Shan bowed his hands repeatedly and thanked him: "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Li."
Although there was nothing much to talk about with Manager Li, he took great care of him along the way, serving him good food and drinks without asking for money. He always responded to his requests without shirking any responsibility.
Although it is not as comfortable as the Chen family merchant ship, the Li family merchant ship is not bad either.
The most difficult thing was my first time out of the province to visit Yuelu Academy.
They really had to travel on their own all the way. The escort agency was only responsible for safety, and everything else needed to be negotiated by Sun Shan.
Sun Shan looked at the vast mountains and thought of the journey to Yuelu Academy. He was only a teenager at that time, and Sun Boming was still very young. So many years had passed in the blink of an eye.
From a scholar to a Jinshi.
Time passed too quickly and the pace was too fast, leaving Sun Shan in a daze and filled with emotion.
Manager Li said again: "Master Sun, we will stay in Zhangzhou Prefecture for two days. We have a batch of goods to unload in Zhangzhou Prefecture."
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Great! Staying in Zhangzhou is just what I want."
It is not known whether Manager Li really had something to do in Zhangzhou Prefecture, or whether he knew that he was from Zhangzhou Prefecture and needed to stay in Zhangzhou Prefecture.
In any case, Sun Shan was very satisfied with this arrangement.
We passed the first pass in South Guangdong, then passed Nanxiong Prefecture, and then took a boat towards Zhangzhou Prefecture.
Sun Shan stood on the dock, watching the endless stream of passengers and the cargo being loaded in and out of boats.
This scene is too familiar, and the people here are too familiar.
Sun Shan studied at the Zhangzhou Prefecture School for several years. From time to time, he would wander around with Li Xinyun and his gang, calling it the "Walking Ten Thousand Steps".
I was really happy back then.
Gui Ge'er asked Sun Dingnan to keep an eye on Sun Shan, and he went to the Hong family to report the news.
The round trip is very quick and there is no need for someone to deliver the message. It not only saves money but also allows you to find the location accurately.
Gui Ge'er had been accompanying Sun Shan to study in Zhangzhou Prefecture and was very familiar with every tile and brick of the city.
Steward Li came over and said, "Master Sun, we will set out here the day after tomorrow morning."
Sun Shan nodded and said, "Manager Li, thank you very much."
Steward Li looked at Sun Shan stealthily for a while and found that this Lord Sun liked to say "thank you" very much.
As long as help is given, no matter who it is, they will say "thank you, thank you for your hard work", which sounds very comfortable.
Lord Sun’s attitude is very gentle and kind. If he were more handsome, he would really look like the eldest son of a wealthy family.
It’s a pity that Lord Sun looks like a country boy, exactly like his background.
At first glance, you may think he is a humble gentleman, but you have to get to know him better after getting to know him.
After Manager Li left, Sun Dali came over and said, "Ashan, I'm on the boat to look after the goods. I won't leave."
Sun Shan thought for a moment and said, "Let someone deliver the goods to the Hong family, so you can go with us."
Sun Shan knew that Sun Dali was worried, so he simply unloaded and loaded the goods, spending at most some money.
Sun Dali shook his head hastily: "Ashan, this is too much trouble. I can stay on the boat. It's only two days, which is too short."
Sun Dingnan also said: "Uncle Dali is right, we should send someone to guard the boat. Uncle Dali and I will take turns to guard it."
Finally, Sun Shan couldn't persuade them and had to let them take shifts on the boat.
