Chapter 29

He really wanted Hu Wei not to sell him two hundred guan, which would be considered a huge sum of money. If his mother hadn't been watching this matter all the time, Yang Qian would rather exchange the two hundred guan for dozens of acres of fertile land.

"That's true. Dalang, you are becoming more and more steadily." Han thought for a while, nodded and smiled with deep consent.

"Listen to Manager Chen, the business of the gentleman leek restaurant is quite prosperous. It seems that my son has a good eye. Not only is he good at studying, but he also has a way to cure diseases. Unexpectedly, he has methods for businessmen."

Yang Qian touched his face. He was praised too much during this period. When he heard such praise, he rarely looked embarrassed, but could accept it with pleasure.

That day, not long after noon, Yang Qian took the ox cart and followed Zhili, the loyal and personal book boy, to the Hu family's courtyard outside the city.

By the time we arrived at the courtyard, the inside and outside of the courtyard were already very lively. There were many people coming to congratulate Hu Wei, the eldest son of Xingze.

As soon as Yang Qian got off the ox cart, a manager who was greeting guests outside the manor quickly came to the front and bowed respectfully to Yang Qian.

"The villain has seen Mr. Yang. My son said that when Mr. Yang arrives, he will immediately invite him to the inner hall and ask him to follow me..."

"Well, that's a blessing." Yang Qian nodded slightly, led Zhili to the courtyard, and there were many guests waiting to enter next to him pointing at Yang Qian there.

"Young Master Yang, hey, can you get such treatment? Could it be that Young Master Yang from the Yang Mansion of Daze..."

"Is it Yang Qian who offered the method to treat typhoid fever?"

"Yes, it's him. I remember the last time I went to the mansion to visit my sick friend, I saw him treating patients with the medical officers of the Imperial Medical Department in the mansion."

"What Mr. Yang has done during this period is not just giving away the prescription. Do you know who "Praise the Farmer" that has been circulating throughout Xingyang County and even the East?"

"Is he not here?"

"It's this person..."

The discussion at the door was already left behind Yang Qian. He followed the manager and walked in this vast mansion, where many guests had already arrived.

The manager led the way and introduced that many of the guests were not invited by Master Hu, but were all friends of Master Hu. When Master Hu heard that Master Hu was about to celebrate his birthday, he rushed over to meet his face.

There is no way, who made Mr. Hu do a great job in business? There are many industries in the entire Xingyang County and even the East Capital. Any business partners who rely on the Hu family's industries will naturally not be willing to miss such a chance to show goodwill.

After passing through the groups of merchants who were discussing where goods were cheaper and what goods could make more money, Yang Qian finally saw Hu Wei, who hurried out from the inner hall and looked happy to meet him.

"Brother Yang Xian, Brother Yu invited you several times, but you always pushed you around. If you don't come today, Brother Yu really has to come to the door to invite you in person."

Yang Qian politely said to this very kind and enthusiastic Brother Hu.

"I have met my brother, but I don't know that I don't like to go out. However, since today is my brother's birthday, I will come to congratulate you no matter what."

"It sounds nice, but after all, I really didn't expect Brother Yu. If you don't make a sound, you will make a big splash. You have done a lot of things these days, and you really get Brother Yu to look at him with admiration..."

"Brother Hu, it seems that some friends have come to the door? I haven't seen you bring in for a long time." At this time, a shout came from inside.

Hu Wei slapped his forehead a little embarrassedly. "Everyone, Hu has neglected it. Please please..."

"Brother Yu has a few friends here, so I'll introduce you to you."

Hu Wei pulled Yang Qian into the inner hall and saw seven or eight young people of similar age each occupying the case and chatting happily.

Hu Wei introduced them one by one. These people were all Hu Wei’s classmates studying in Xingyang, and Yang Qian also returned the favor one by one.

One of the tall and powerful young men, Zheng Yuanxun, looked at Yang Qian with curiosity.

"When Uncle Gao arrived in Xingyang, he also mentioned that his brother had learned something. The song "Praise the Farmer" is even more memorable. Today, Zheng finally saw the real person."

"I dare not take it. I was just feeling it at that time..." Yang Qian was also looking at Zheng Yuanxun and Zheng Yuancong, the Zheng brothers with similar appearances, were from the Zheng family in Xingyang.

The two were brothers, and their father Zheng Yi was a hero who helped Yang Jian find the country. Their eldest brother Zheng Yuanshu inherited his father's title, and now he has been promoted to the right Guanglu Dafu for his military merits and has been promoted to the right Guard General.

The remaining three were also given titles, and their second brother Zheng Shanyuan was granted the title of Duke of Guichang County. The third brother Zheng Yuancong was granted the title of Duke of Chenggao County.

Even the youngest Zheng Yuanxun has a title of a man from Yong'an County.

Such a four-ranking family is truly a prominent figure, which shows the status of this family in the minds of Yang Jian and Yang Guang.

The guest and host sat down again. At this time, Zheng Yuanxun smiled at Yang Qian. "We and Brother Hu both have classmates. We will come to congratulate you on the birthday of Brother Hu this time. In addition, Zheng still has something to discuss with me, but he has to discuss it with me."

Yang Qian glanced at Hu Wei. He was not close to Zheng Yuanxun, but it was the first time he met today. This guy actually had something to discuss with him.

Hu Weipo coughed awkwardly. "Brother Zheng, didn't you agree to this before? I'll talk about it after the banquet?"

"My brother, what the two brothers Zheng want to talk about is the complete volume of "The Legend of Gongyang in the Spring and Autumn Period" written by Zheng Xuan, which I treasured in my family..."

Hu Wei has been studying in the Zheng family in Xingyang in the past two years and is classmates with Zheng Yuanxun. He did not think about it. A few days ago, while chatting, Hu Wei accidentally mentioned the "Book of Gongyang in the Spring and Autumn Period" in his family, which was written by Zheng Xuan, a great scholar of the Han Dynasty, in person.

When Zheng Yuanxun heard that it was the work of Zheng Xuan, a great scholar in the Han Dynasty, he naturally became interested.

Zheng Xuan was a master of Confucianism in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. His academic studies focus on ancient classics and also learn from modern classics.

He wrote a lot of Confucian classics and devoted his life to sorting out ancient cultural heritage, bringing the classics into a "small unified era".

He has written books such as "Seven Politics of Astronomy" and "Zhonghou", with more than one million words, and is known as "Zheng Xue" in the world. He is the master of the Han Dynasty's classics.

Although he was born in the Zheng family of Gaomi, his surname was also Zheng. If the masterpiece of the Zheng family could be included in the Zheng family of Xingyang, it would be considered a great joy.

The brothers Zheng Yuanxun and Zheng Yuancong personally explained to Hu Wei that they wanted to purchase Zheng Xuan's annotation of the "Chunqiu Gongyang Zhuan" and made Hu Wei feel difficult.

He told the Zheng brothers that he had agreed and was willing to sell this ancient fragment to Yang Qian, the friend of the general leader, but the Zheng brothers were unwilling to give up.
