Chapter 919 Northland
Young Master Fan was stunned. He didn't expect that Fan Yuqi would suddenly ask him to go to the north. He looked up at Fan Yuqi in confusion. Young Master Fan responded first, and then hesitated and asked: "Father, is it a business in Mongolia to go to the north?"
"It's not only Mongolia, but also the Rakshasa Kingdom." Fan Yuqi said very normally: "Ship E has been urging him tightly. I've been feeling a little uncomfortable for my father recently. Just go this trip for me. By the way, your Uncle Zhuang will accompany you. If you don't understand, ask you Uncle Zhuang more, do you understand?"
"The boy understand..." Young Master Fan answered, and then felt relieved. Although he was the eldest son of the Fan family and helped his family with business on weekdays, he had never been alone.
What Fan Yuqin said was so clear about what he had to do when he went to Mongolia and Rakshasa Kingdom in the north. He naturally knew that with the tense situation in Shanxi, Ortai needed to mobilize a large amount of supplies, and now the only one who can do this is the Fan family.
Although Ortai and Geng'e attacked Shanxi merchants a few days ago and killed people, which frightened the Fan family, thanks to Fan Yuqi's identity, and now the Fan family is the only remaining merchant, the Qing court still needs the Fan family, and in the end the Fan family survived this difficulty without any danger.
Today, Young Master Fan came to see Fan Yuqin, mainly because he wanted to ask if the incident had really passed. Now Fan Yuqin's arrangement made Young Master Fan completely relieved. It seems that their Fan family still can't do anything, which is enough.
It's good to get an errand. At least I've been bored in the old house these days and I've almost got sick. Going to the north is a pastime. Besides, with Zhuang Zhidong's accompanying, the eldest young man of the Fan family was even more at ease. Although he was not angry, he was not a fool and knew very well that the capable people were working hard. Just leave the big things to Zhuang Zhidong, just make a signboard.
But Young Master Fan didn't expect that after Fan Yuqiu explained the matter, he mentioned again, saying that when Young Master Fan went north, he would take his two sons with him.
"Father, this... Kang'er is fine, but Ling'er is still young, and the north is bitter and cold. The child is worried that Ling'er is too young to bear the pain..."
"Shame!" Before Young Master Fan finished speaking, Fan Yuqin glared at him: "Since my ancestors, my Fan family has relied on diligent business from generation to generation, and I have been working around to achieve today. Even as a father, I followed my father to the desert when I was young? Although Ling'er was young, so how could it not be achieved? The so-called jade cannot be made without being carved, and my Fan family should follow our ancestors to start a business? Do you want Kang'er and Ling'er to grow up like you?"
These words immediately made Young Master Fan's ears and eyes suddenly turn red. He knew that although he had occupied the name of the eldest son in the Fan family, he really couldn't match a few brothers in terms of ability? To put it bluntly, these words are just beating himself.
Seeing him blushing, Fan Yuqi sighed in his heart? He slowed down and said, "Let you take Kang'er and Ling'er to the north together? Being a father not only makes the two children feel the difficulty of starting a business in my Fan family, but also has arrangements to avoid disaster..."
"Father, can you say..." When Young Master Fan heard this, he suddenly felt a sudden quarrel in his heart? Seeking questions quickly.
Fan Yuqi waved his hand? He said calmly: "My Fan family is still useful to the court, not to mention that he has a second-rank official title on his father. At least the court will not attack my Fan family at will. If my Fan family also fell down, this will not be of any benefit to the court. The emperor is wise? Even the coach E will not be so short-sighted. However, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall? Some necessary preparations must be done. I ask you, do you think Shanxi can really defend it?"
"This..." Although Young Master Fan is proficient in eating, drinking and having fun? He lacks the ability to do business, he is not a fool. What Fan Yuqin asked about is exactly what he has thought about over the days? What about the situation in Shanxi? It's okay for ordinary people? But the Fan family knows far more things than ordinary people.
"Maybe I can hold on." Young Master Fan thought for a long time and finally said such an ambiguous sentence.
Looking at the son with a squinted eyes, Fan Yuqi shook his head in his heart. The eldest son was really not very good. He had reached this level and still had not seen through many things, nor did he understand his intention. If it were Fan Yichou, he would have understood his intention for this arrangement, and would not say this in front of him.
When he thought of Fan Yichou, Fan Yuqiu felt a secret pain in his heart. It was a pity that his mistake in his choice not only harmed him, but also caused the Fan family to lose a reliable heir. But it was already like this, and there was nothing he could do. In fact, he was thinking about his old house these days, and the major events that happened in Shanxi made Fan Yuqiu's current mentality different from before.
After a forced smile, Fan Yuqin stopped saying anything, but continued to explain a few words to make the matter settled, so he asked Young Master Fan to go back and prepare immediately and set off in three days. As for Kang'er and Ling'er, they had to be with him, and other families were not required to take them except Young Master Fan's wife and choosing two reliable servants. The north was hard, and it was not easy to travel around the mountains and rivers. It was to take the wife and two servants to take care of the children. It was difficult to walk on the road with too many people.
After I made this decision, Young Master Fan had no choice but to nod and agreed. When he left the study, Young Master Fan felt a little regretful. He regretted that he suddenly came to see the old man today. If he didn't do it, this fatal errand would not fall on him.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world. Young Master Fan could only return to the yard where he was dejected, asked his wife to explain it a few times, and then prepared.
Three days later, the haggard young master Fan took his wife and children to see Fan Yuqi first, then left the old house, got on the prepared cart and slowly got on the road.
Compared with the poor-spirited young man Fan, the two children are very energetic. After all, they rarely go out on weekdays when they are born in a mansion, but this time they can go out far, which is a happy thing for the children. Sitting in the car, the two children are very excited, while the young man Fan is frowning, and the wife on the other side also looks worried.
After more than ten miles, he met the caravan waiting for Zhuang Zhidong. After the two met, Zhuang Zhidong commanded the caravan to set off. At this time, Young Master Fan felt a little calmer. It was already like this, so he could only do this.
