Chapter 101: Aftermath
Yang Yun took great pains to arrange Jia Gui and others to Songmei's side, with his considerations.
Even if he wants to leave, Songmei's future has nothing to do with him from now on, and he still has to do a good job of "cleaning up the aftermath...... What he is most afraid of is that Songmei gets carried away and acts without scruples, as soon as he walks on his front foot, Songmei will be exposed and his feet will be demolished, and he will be chased back by the people of the government before he has gone far.
"With a creditor by his side, this old boy will be restrained, as long as he continues to maintain this cautious posture now, it will be difficult for others to expose him...... In addition, he has more bodyguards around him, and those who pick quarrels and provoke trouble have to weigh it carefully, so that there is less risk of exposure. ”
Yang Yun felt that this move was not bad, at least it suppressed Songmei's restless heart, and moved forward in the direction he specified, which would add a lot of trouble to Songmei as soon as possible.
The next day, news came from the Jiannan Jiedu embassy that Wang Yu asked Songmei to follow him on the expedition to help the imperial court take the important town of Huiye in Iaxi.
Songmei was so anxious that she hurriedly sent someone to inform Yang Yun, and almost all of them were pouring bitter water when they met.
"Good apprentice, what kind of fire charm is it, the teacher doesn't understand it at all, why does Wang Jiedu want the teacher to follow him to the front line...... When you get to the place, you can't do anything as a teacher, won't you show your stuffing? ”
Songmei didn't want to join the army at all.
Military merit or anything has never been considered, Songmei just wants to get a piece of the pie when the Jiannan Daomen divides the sphere of influence this time, and can take her disciples to various parts of Jiannan Dao to make money in the future.
Yang Yun said: "I can pass on the relevant knowledge to you, so that you don't have one more magical power?" ”
"No, no!"
Songmei's head shook like a rattle, and her attitude was extremely resolute, "If you want to go, you are also a disciple with the teacher, otherwise the teacher would rather give up the name of Wuzun and return to Qingcheng Mountain to farm." ”
Yang Yun sneered: "Now that Wang Jiedu has made arrangements, the so-called military order is like a mountain, do you think you can resign?" Moreover, you don't need to be too afraid at all, you have a military merit to win in Huiye City, and if you lose, it is Wang Jiedu's command and dispatch is unfavorable, how much does it have to do with you as a Taoist priest? ”
Songmei thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement with Yang Yun's statement.
There are benefits to winning, even if he is angry with Wang Yu if he loses, he will not do anything to him, after all, he is now the recognized leader of the Daomen of Jiannan Dao, and in the atmosphere of the overall worship of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, no one dares to risk angering the entire Daomen and put him to death.
Yang Yundao: "I know you want to stay in Jiannan Road and live happily, you can go wherever you want, and do whatever you want, but just do things to win power, fame and money?" Look at the treatment we have today, the respect we have in Chengdu, and the monetary benefits, which you can't get for decades, right? ”
"Yes...... I really don't understand ...... teacher," Songmei continued to emphasize.
Yang Yun beckoned, asked Songmei to sit down on the ground beside him, and said: "Nominally you are my master, but in fact, I am more than enough to be your master, now I will tell you the trick about fire charms for my master, and you will study it in detail when you go back, so that when others ask about you, you will not be exposed!" ”
"Okay then."
Songmei was still very reluctant, with a mournful look on her face.
If there is a choice, he is reluctant to join the army if he is killed, but the problem is that now he has been forcibly recruited by Wang Yu, who is made by Jiedu, and he can't refuse, so he can only study hard.
This is also to see Yang Yun get a lot of benefits from the Jiedu Embassy to stimulate him, after all, Songmei has always had the dream of making a fortune in her heart: "This kid only relies on the fire charm, I don't know how much money he makes, as long as he teaches me, I have seen more of the world than him, and I am still in the name of his master, why can't I earn as much money as him?" ”
……
……
Yang Yun was glad to be able to find a "substitute ghost" like Songmei.
It's not that Yang Yun looks down on Wang Yu's leadership this time, but Yang Yun doesn't want to be tied up by the war, the best way for him to get ahead is not to prove himself through war, as strong as Li Zhongsi, Wang Siye, Gao Xianzhi, Feng Qingchang, Ge Shuhan, Huangfu Weiming and other famous generals, which one has a good end?
"As the future uncle of the country, Wang Yu is a fart, the small belly and chicken intestines can't tolerate people, I don't need you to recommend me to the court in the future, I will rely on myself...... Oh no, rely on my sister Yang Yuhuan to get on the throne. ”
Yang Yun's idea seems unambitious, but this world is so cruel, relying on one's own ability is far less reliable than nepotism, as evidenced by Yang Guozhong's ascension in history. In this era of the supremacy of imperial power, in order to firmly grasp the fate, we must use our brains on the heroes and heroines Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan in the Kaiyuan and Tianbao periods.
"Staying here for one more day is a waste of life, and now it is the second half of the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan, and next year Yang Yuhuan will officially enter the political arena, deducting the needs of the journey, leaving me with little time."
Yang Yun wrote a letter and asked him to send it to the third uncle's house in Luoyang, and contact Yang Yuhuan first.
In the letter, he did not introduce the courtesy he was currently receiving in Jiannan Road, only said that he had been studying abroad, and incidentally mentioned that he had made some achievements in cultivating with a famous teacher, and was ready to go to Luoyang to join his relatives.
"This letter is sent, it is estimated that my cheap third uncle is going to have a big head, and it is still useful to receive a niece of the country and Tianxiang to raise by his side, what can my nephew do? Even my own sister doesn't want to support me, let alone my uncle? ”
Then Yang Yun went to see Song Qi and Song Guishan, and explained the fact that the Immortal Building was going to be closed.
Song Qi had long expected Yang Yun to do things in a non-formal manner, and his attitude was relatively peaceful: "If the owner doesn't do this business, is it to sell the store out?" ”
Yang Yun shook his head and said, "How much can it be worth if it is sold out?" The most important thing here is wine and chilled sour soup, seeing that the summer is over, the sour soup has no market, but the wine business may be much better, but unfortunately I don't have time to take care of this business for the time being. ”
It's not that Yang Yun didn't think about transferring the restaurant, the problem is that he has to keep a low profile, if he lets Wang Ji know, his departure from Chengdu will be full of twists and turns.
"Owner, now our business is getting better and better, and the daily income is above thirty times, why do you choose to close down at this time!" Song Qi asked puzzled.
Yang Yun replied with a wry smile: "It's hard to disobey the master's fate...... I'm going to go out in a few days, I don't know when I'll come back, I have prepared five jars of wine for you, selling half a jar a day can last for ten days, you sell it as severance pay, the rent of this building is paid until the Spring Festival next year, which means that you can continue to operate for half a year...... Even if you don't sell alcohol, the dishes I teach you can be unique in Chengdu Restaurant. ”
"Huh?"
Song Qi and Song Guishan, and even the sixth son were dumbfounded.
When the business was at its best, it suddenly had to close down, and Yang Yun's way of closing the business seemed to be to just throw himself away, and even give the business to the Song family, which was too unbelievable.
"The owner, if you don't negotiate anymore, you can't make money if you don't make money, it's really ...... It's a pity. ”
Song Qi was moved, even if this restaurant doesn't sell steamed wine, just by virtue of the good reputation it has established before, it is guaranteed to earn a few times a day, which was unimaginable in the past, and it is much more than their current salary plus commission. But he didn't show it on his face, and he still had a look of regret.
Yang Yun smiled and said, "Why don't you pack up, leave with me, and do business elsewhere?" Of course, I won't force you, you go back to discuss and discuss, and give me a letter in the next two days, and I can make arrangements in advance. ”
……
……
Yang Yun just said that, in his plan, he didn't plan to take the old Song family away, the sixth son was just a buddy, and he was not on the accompanying list.
This is just the heart of the An Song family, so when they take over the business, they will not announce that they have changed the owner, continue the previous style of doing business, and delay the time to expose his whereabouts as much as possible.
But if the Song family agrees to follow, he will not refuse, after all, talents are rare, and after arriving in Luoyang, the new restaurant can be erected without much effort, and he will soon be able to make money again.
There was still one day left before Wang Yu's expedition, Yang Yun finished handling the affairs of the restaurant, and went to the Mid-Levels Inn to inform him of the relevant situation of gunpowder manufacturing, but there were reservations in the formula, and he also emphasized the importance of "charms" in compatibility.
The workshop was temporarily suspended, and nearly 100,000 catties of gunpowder produced were being sent to the front line in Iasi.
In this way, Yang Yun no longer has to go to the workshop to respond to the mao, and he has more time.
In order to make it more reasonable for him to leave, he asked Songmei for an "errand", which probably meant that Songmei sent him to find herbs that could refine the elixir.
The master went out with the army, and the apprentice went out to collect medicine, which was reasonable.
Things were almost ready, and that afternoon, Songmei's wife, that is, Yang Yun's cheap "teacher", suddenly came to the door to ask for a meeting.
Yang Yun heard Yarou say that someone came to visit, and when he saw the woman outside the door, he was very surprised that the other party had come alone.
"How did Madame find here?" Yang Yun asked.
The woman smiled: "On this occasion, it is best for the little Taoist to call the concubine as a master to avoid having ears on the wall." ”
"Huh."
Yang Yun smiled, "Master." ”
The woman nodded and said, "The little woman's husband's family name is Bi, her family's surname is Ning, and her single name is Lan." ”
"Ning Lan."
Yang Yun silently thought in his heart, there are very few women with names in these years, which shows that the other party is from an extraordinary background.
Ning Lan continued: "The concubine asked Yi Dan, and she said that she would live here for a long time, so she specially came to the door to thank Xiaodao for his help to his son for many days, and the concubine was so polite. ”
Yang Yun invited Ning Lan to sit down in the house.
Ning Lan was very surprised by Yang Yun's high-quality life, living in a mansion with all kinds of furniture at a young age, although there were no servants around, there were four lively and beautiful little Loli to take care of life, there was iced sour plum soup when thirsty, and exquisite meals when hungry......
"This is really a fairy life...... The trail is really extraordinary! Ning Lan sighed from the bottom of her heart.
Yang Yun smiled, he didn't have too much politeness with Ning Lan, in the twenty-first century, this is actually the life of an ordinary person, in his opinion, it is not a big deal, and he feels that his fate with Ning Lan is limited to these few days, there is no need to explain too much.
Ning Lan said that she was here to thank her, but only in words, her family's situation was not good, and she owed a large amount of foreign debts, this time she just came to see it, hoping to get more help from Yang Yun.
"Daoist Songmei will go out with Wang Jiedu tomorrow."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Yang Yun took the initiative to find a topic and said, "If everything goes well, he will get a lot of rewards when he comes back, the debts outside can be repaid, and there is even a balance, whether it is to return to Qingcheng Mountain or to develop in Yizhou, he has a solid foundation in the future." ”
Yang Yun drew a big cake for Ning Lan, which probably means that your husband has a bright future and doesn't need my help.
Ning Lan smiled bitterly: "What kind of person is my grandson, the concubine is very clear, if there is no help from Xiaodao, he is really ...... It's hard to make a big deal. ”
"Oh?" Yang Yun was surprised.
This woman had such an opinion of her husband that she did not care about her face at all.
Ning Lan's eyes were eager: "If the little Taoist can help his grandson more, the concubine will be grateful." ”
Yang Yun squeezed out a slight smile, and really didn't know how to reply.
Knowing that he couldn't help Songmei too much, he didn't want to give this woman a vague hope, but now that people came to ask for it, even if there was really no interest to exchange, Yang Yun had to think about "mastering and apprenticeship" with Songmei.
"Alas, he and I are two different people after all." Yang Yun decided to tell the truth.
When Ning Lan heard this, she understood that Yang Yun was unwilling to help, her eyes dimmed, she sighed softly, and said, "It is already his creation that the little Dao Leader can help him get here, but if his identity is discovered, let alone gaining a foothold in Jiannan Dao, it will be difficult to take the right path in the future." ”
Yang Yun said: "If the wind is not right, he will leave Jiannan Dao, and he will always make a great name at the Qingyang Palace Festival, and he can live anywhere." ”
Ning Lan asked, "I don't know where the little dao chief will develop in the future?" ”
Yang Yun "chuckled" in his heart, and secretly wondered: "What does she mean by this?" You know I'm going to sneak away, so you came to find out where I am? I went to Luoyang to find my sister, do I have to bring a cheap master to pretend and deceive beside me? ”
Yang Yun shook his head with a smile and did not answer.
Ning Lan also seemed to feel that this question was too abrupt, and apologized: "The concubine has no long things, so she made some embroidery and gave it to the little Taoist chief, chatting about her heart, and hoping that the little Taoist chief will not see outside." ”
As he spoke, he asked Yitan to send over a small baggage, and when he opened it, there were several pieces of embroidered satin inside.
Yang Yun saw that the embroidery work on the satin was very exquisite, and he expected that a few little Loli would like it, but he himself was not interested in these.
"Thank you, ma'am." Yang Yun saluted and thanked him.
Ning Lan smiled: "How can you still call Mrs.?" ”
Yang Yun smiled again, stood up, and arched his hand: "Thank you, Master." ”
"Hey!"
Ning Lan was overjoyed when she heard Yang Yun call her a teacher, and for some reason, she was very happy knowing that it was fake.
