Chapter 1013: Love for the House and the Dogs in it, Sun Shan also caught the attention of Dean Chen
When I returned to the post station, the moon was already hanging high above the willow branches. Fortunately, there was no curfew in Changsha.
There is also a night market to visit, but because it is cold, there are only a few people on the streets.
Steward Wang came over and said with a smile, "Master, we went to see Master Zhan today. He introduced us to two escort agencies. One can leave the day after tomorrow, and the other can leave the day after tomorrow."
Butler Wang gave a detailed introduction to the situations of the two escort agencies. As for the fees, they were almost the same.
In fact, it was a symbolic fee, because when they learned that Sun Shan was an official, they all wanted to go with him.
Sun Shan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go the day after tomorrow. We still have things to do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
When I return to Changsha Prefecture, I have to take a walk around. Besides, I have already "reported to the provincial government", which means I have successfully signed in and I don't need to be punished for being late.
One more day of delay won’t make much, one less day of delay won’t make much less, just go shopping until you’ve had enough.
Manager Wang accepted the order: "Yes, sir. I will go to discuss with the escort agency tomorrow and set off the day after tomorrow."
Sun Shan called Sun Dingnan over and said, "Brother Nan, tomorrow you and Steward Wang will go to the street to buy some daily necessities. Buy whatever you see if the price is right. Changsha Prefecture has a wide variety of items, so buy whatever you can. You don't need to buy anything when you get to Heyuanlu County in Chenzhou Prefecture."
If general food crops are cheaper in small places, but bulk items such as cloth are cheaper in large places, every penny saved counts.
Moreover, there are more choices in Changsha, so if you can buy here, buy here.
There is abundant labor in the team, and it would be a waste if it is not used.
Sun Dingnan agreed, "Okay, tomorrow, Steward Wang and I will take some men out to buy things."
Sun Shan went to see his master again and said, "Master, I will stay here tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You can go out and have a look and walk around."
After a pause, he added: "You are unfamiliar with the place, I will arrange two guards to accompany you, so that you can take care of it."
Master Zhang smiled and said, "Thank you, Master. Now that I'm here, I must go and have a look to broaden my horizons."
Then he added, "Master, don't worry. I'm just strolling around and won't cause any trouble."
Sun Shan looked at Master Zhang with appreciation.
It is actually quite good to work with older people. People with experience will be more cautious when doing things.
When Master Zhang walked down the street, Sun Shan felt relieved. He was mature and steady and would not cause any trouble.
Sun Shan called Big Head Dog, Grass Root and Sun Heitan over and said, "The three of you will follow Master out tomorrow and help me take good care of him."
After a pause, he added: "Remember, don't be impulsive and don't cause trouble. You must remember to only use your eyes to look, don't touch. We are just passing through Changsha Prefecture and will leave immediately the day after tomorrow. You are outsiders, you must not quarrel with the locals."
Sun Shan thought that the men in Sunjia Village could not speak Mandarin or Changsha dialect, so the chances of them causing trouble were small.
It's just that we should not be afraid of a thousand things, but be afraid of the unexpected. If we talk at cross purposes, we might end up fighting because of misunderstanding.
Sun Shan decided that when he arrived in Yuanlu County, the people around him must not only learn Yuanlu dialect, but also learn Mandarin and be literate, so he had to open a literacy class.
Sun Shan felt a headache when he thought about this problem. He had to help them with free compulsory education, but the money in his pocket was slipping away again. He felt so heartbroken!
The big-headed dog said happily: "Master, don't worry, we will definitely protect you well and abide by the law."
When Big Head Dog heard that he could accompany the master to go shopping, hehe, he was happy.
I have been in Changsha for two days and have been lying on a board for two days. Today, my seasickness is finally gone.
It would be nice to be able to accompany my master for a walk and broaden my horizons. It would also be good to chat about it when we return to Sunjia Village.
Sun Heitan and Cao Gen did not suffer from seasickness, nor did they lie on the board, but instead they were "sitting in a well and looking at the world".
After getting off the ship at Changsha Wharf, they stayed at the post station and didn't go anywhere. They were not even selected to move the goods, and they were almost moldy at the post station.
The two were very happy to be able to go out with the master tomorrow. Finally they could go out for a walk and finally see the prosperity of Changsha.
Hehe, I’m so happy.
Sun Heidan said with a smile: "Master, we will definitely stay by your side tomorrow and nothing will happen. You can rest assured."
Sun Heitan looked at Sun Shan. In fact, he still remembered the unsuccessful fight in his childhood very clearly.
Sun Heitan never expected to be chosen as a guard this time. He thought Sun Shan would bear a grudge and thus be eliminated.
From the current perspective, Sun Shan has long forgotten his childhood experiences.
Yes, the officials of Sunjia Village are people who do great things, so they must have broad minds, and the trivial matters of the past have long disappeared.
Cao Gen is taller than Big Head Dog and shorter than Sun Heitan by a fist, but he is quite capable in fighting and is really daring. The village chief chose him as a bodyguard based on this.
Cao Gen said happily: "We will go shopping with you, Master. We will only look and will never touch or buy anything. Master, don't worry, we will not have any disputes with the locals."
They just look but don't buy or talk, so there are no arguments and no chance of fighting.
Before setting off, the village chief trained them more than once, telling them to act cautiously, not to cause trouble, and not to bring trouble to Sun Shan.
If anyone makes a mistake, not only will they be sent back to Sunjia Village, but they will also be punished by the village chief and clan law.
The village chief spoke so seriously at the time that I was trembling with fear.
Some people wanted to quit, but thinking about the wages, everyone gritted their teeth and insisted on going out to work with Sun Shan.
Among the group, only Sun Shan and Gui Ge'er had been to Changsha Prefecture, so he was worried about the Sun family leaving without permission.
In big cities, there are not only more job opportunities, but also more blackmail gangs. Sun Shan is afraid that the men will be cheated.
It's easy to cheat people out of money, but if you cheat people, who can you complain to? You might as well detain the team at the post station and not let them leave.
But it’s not a good idea to do this. If you don’t have enough experience, how can you know how dangerous the world is?
Now that you have gone out, you can’t act like you haven’t gone out.
Sun Shan thought about it and decided to ask Steward Wang and Sun Dali to take the guards out in batches to take a walk around Changsha Prefecture in the next two days. How much they can learn depends on their abilities.
The next morning, after Sun Shan had breakfast, the Chen family's manager came to the post station.
Sun Shan felt strange. Could there be something urgent?
I just met with President Chen yesterday.
Manager Chen bowed to Sun Shan and said hello first: "Master Sun, this package is given to you by our old master. I hope it can help you."
Sun Shan didn't know what to do, so he gladly took the package and said thank you.
Gui Ge'er already had some experience, so he gave Manager Chen some money as a tip.
Manager Chen was not polite. After taking the purse, he smiled and said, "Master Sun, I'll take my leave first. I still have things to do."
After Manager Chen left, Sun Shan opened the package and found a small notebook inside. He flipped it open and couldn't help getting excited.
Dean Chen is such a nice person that he actually sent him a background profile of officials from Changsha Prefecture and Chenzhou Prefecture.
It is really timely relief, and this kindness is really great.
There is no way to find out by relying on Sun Shan, and only a big family like the Chen family knows about Pan Geng’s complicated official background.
Sun Shan was so moved that he almost cried.
Sun Shan probably knew that the Chen family did this for the sake of his eldest cousin.
It was not because of Yuelu Academy, Jinshi, or the status of county magistrate.
I had a conversation with Dean Chen yesterday and felt his appreciation and love for my cousin.
As a result, because of his love for Sun Shan, Dean Chen also took notice of him.
