The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Wan Lianxing said: "I won't let you collect grain, I want you to sell pearls."

"Selling pearls? Fengying is so poor, how many people wear pearls? The uncle who sells pearls should ask the boss for money. He has the market, he can sell anything."

Wan Lianxing said: "Boss Qian just got his daughter, how can he abandon his wife and children to go out and sell pearls?"

Cheng Feng felt something was wrong when he heard this, "No, uncle, you want me to go far away to sell pearls?"

Wan Lianxing nodded, "That's right. You said it before. Fengying is so poor. How can it possibly sell so many pearls? If Fengying could consume so many pearls, Xu Shixun, the magistrate of Qiaochun County, would not live in the post station of Fengying and urge me to sell pearls every day. Pearls are rare. I am a marquis. Where can I sell pearls to him? The farthest place I have been to is Fengying. So, I have decided to leave the matter of selling pearls to you."

Cheng Feng sat down on the bench, then stood up again with his hands on his waist, grinning, "Uncle, where do you want me to go to sell pearls? Please point me in a direction first so I can see if I can go."

Wan Lianxing said: "With the rich boss's people here, you can go wherever you want."

Cheng Feng didn't understand. "My brother-in-law has connections and people. He can just ask his people to ship and sell the goods. Why do you want me to make a trip? Look at my butt. It's all bruised. How can I walk far?"

Wan Lianxing said, "You are not that delicate. Your butt will be healed in ten days or half a month. Besides, you are a young man in your twenties. Would you like to be confined at home? Listen to your uncle and go out and sell the pearls. Our Wan family is a century-old merchant family. We can't let our business be cut off by you."

Cheng Feng said: "The Wan family's business is still going on. The pile of account books are all there. I just looked at them. How can you say that the business is broken in my hands?"

Wan Lianxing said: "In the past, half of our Wan family's business was controlled by your father, and the other half was controlled by Boss Qian. You were just sitting back and reaping the benefits. I think it's time to give you some training."

"Uncle, I have to exercise now. Look at my current situation. My son is still in bed with a high fever. What's more, the border is still at war with the Yan Kingdom in the south. I can't go out for business now. Besides, our Wan family is not starving. You chose an inappropriate time. Can't you give me some time? Besides, selling pearls is not an urgent matter. It can be sold at any time."

Wan Lianxing said unhappily, "Your son has a fever, you can stay at home to take care of him, the war on the border is a hindrance to you, if you wait until the war is over, there will be no time, he will be the one for a year or two, I have advised you long ago, eat and drink as you like, everything remains the same. So you have to go on with your life, the Wan family business has to go on, this job of selling pearls is yours, you can't shirk it."

Cheng Feng put his hands on his waist and took two steps on the ground. "But I don't plan to go far away. At least I have to discuss it with Shang Xi before making a decision. If Shang Xi doesn't agree, I can't go."

Wan Lianxing slammed the table and said, "Cheng Feng, what's wrong with you? Don't you know what the Three Obediences and Four Virtues are? Women obey their husbands. Do you need Shang Xi's approval for everything you do? If you make the Wan family lose face like this, I will give you a few concubines tomorrow so that you can stand up straight from now on."

Cheng Feng crossed his arms and said unhappily, "You only know how to threaten me. I have to think carefully about such a big thing."

Wan Lianxing said: "There is no time to think about it. The pearls have been loaded into the car. You should put on your clothes and follow Boss Qian's people."

Cheng Feng was surprised: "Now?"

"Yes."

"Uncle, are you kidding me? If you say you want to leave, you have to leave. Where do you want me to go?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Boss Qian has already chosen the route for you. The convoy will go east to Qunyang County and then to Taichong State first."

Cheng Feng looked at Boss Qian: "When did you discuss this?"

Boss Qian said, "It was decided yesterday morning."

Cheng Feng was mad: "You two decided my affairs without my approval. You are so disrespectful to me. You should at least discuss it with me."

Boss Qian said earnestly, "Cheng Feng, listen to your uncle's arrangement. This time, the goods you are asked to sell are not only pearls, but also cloth, sugar, and sweet potato flour. The current year is not good, so don't hoard too many goods. Sell everything you can, turn it into money, and then store more food to supply us."

Cheng Feng pointed at his waist and hips and said, "You can let me go, but I have to stay at home for a few days."

Wan Lianxing said: "Recover it on the way. After being away for half a month, it will definitely recover."

Cheng Feng searched the house for some clothes without a clue, then called Ba Jiao, "Hurry up and call Shang Xi back. I'm going on a long trip and I'm not sure when I'll be back. Ask her to come back and see me off."

Wan Lianxing tried to stop them: "I've sent someone to deliver the letter, and they'll be back soon. Hurry up and pack your things, because there's a long line of people waiting for you."

Cheng Feng changed his clothes and said, "I'll have lunch before I leave."

Wan Lianxing said: "What kind of lunch are you talking about? I'll eat it on the way. I brought some dry food with me."

Under the coercion of Wan Lianxing, Cheng Feng arrived at the gate of the prefectural government. Wow, the captain of the convoy could not be seen from beginning to end. It seemed that he did not want him to come back.

Cheng Feng looked again and found someone he knew, "Shi Hongshang, why are you here?"

Shi Hongshang said, "I'll go with you. I'll go out to sell tea and go to Qunyang and Taichong. I'm familiar with the route."

Cheng Feng asked: "Where are your goods?"

"As for the rest, you should have packed up, so we can hurry up and get on the road."

Cheng Feng looked around and said, "Wait a moment."

Shi Hongshang asked: "Is there anyone else?"

Cheng Feng nodded.

Wan Lianxing rolled his eyes at Cheng Feng who was looking around, secretly cursing him for being useless, but said, "Feng'er, what are you looking at? There are so many people waiting for you, get in the car."

Cheng Feng said: "Wait for Shang Xi."

Wan Lianxing said: "She can't come back until dark."

Cheng Feng looked at Wan Lianxing and said, "Uncle, you didn't send someone to inform Shang Xi, did you?"

Wan Lianxing agreed without saying anything. Cheng Feng was so angry that he wanted to quit and leave. "Uncle, I have a lot of things to explain to Shang Xi."

Wan Lianxing said: "Just tell me, I will pass it on to Shang Xi."

Cheng Feng said: "Forget it, I'll just write a letter on the way."

Wan Lianxing urged, "Let's go, Suiying, get Cheng Feng in the car."

"Yes."
