Chapter 168: Goro Enrolls
When Ye Changyan saw Fang Xiaotong kneeling down to kowtow to Lu Tingfeng, he asked Fang Xiaomei to bring the teacup and walk towards the courtyard gate with him.
When Lu Tingfeng saw Fang Xiaotong paying homage to him as his teacher, his face looked solemn but he felt warm in his heart.
Seeing Fang Xiaotong finished kneeling, Ye Changyan quickly winked at Fang Xiaomei.
Fang Xiaomei held the teacup and handed it to her brother. Fang Xiaotong quickly took the teacup, raised it above his head, and spoke loudly.
"Master, please have some tea!"
Lu Tingfeng rarely showed a faint smile, took the teacup, drank it all, and then spoke.
"Little boy, today you have become my disciple. I will teach you everything I have learned throughout my life without reservation. I hope you will be modest and prudent, practice diligently, and remember the kindness of the master family. If you can achieve success in your studies in the future, you must live up to the master family's deep affection and friendship!"
"Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will definitely keep them in mind!"
Lu Tingfeng stepped forward, helped Fang Xiaotong up, and patted him gently on the shoulder.
Ye Changyan handed the apprenticeship gift that he had prepared in advance to Fang Xiaotong. Fang Xiaotong took it with gratitude and then handed it to Lu Tingfeng beside him.
Lu Tingfeng took the apprenticeship gift handed to him by Fang Xiaotong, then he took out a dagger from somewhere and started talking.
"Little boy, now that you and I are master and disciple, I will give you this dagger. This is the initiation gift my teacher gave me. Although I cannot tell you our sect's inheritance yet, as long as you hold this dagger, our sect will always be your strong backing."
Ye Changyan thought that in order to protect Liang Jingcheng's secret, Lu Tingfeng even kept his own master's inheritance a secret from his apprentice. It seems that Lu Tingfeng is indeed loyal to the Liang family.
Ye Changyan believed that Lu Tingfeng could also teach Fang Xiaotong to be loyal to his master.
Wulang, who was sitting at the door of the main room, witnessed the whole process and felt somewhat envious.
After Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng had a simple breakfast, Ye Changyan and Wulang helped Ye Xiaozheng get on the carriage. Wulang was going to a private school, and as a father, Ye Xiaozheng definitely needed to pay a visit to Mr. Xia.
Seeing Liang Jingcheng also got on the carriage, Lu Tingfeng asked Fang Xiaotong to sit outside the carriage with him. The first thing Lu Tingfeng planned to teach Fang Xiaotong was how to drive a carriage.
With a wave of Lu Tingfeng's whip, the carriage drove towards the county town. Lian, Erniu and Fang Xiaomei, who stayed at home, watched the carriage disappear at the end of their sight with smiles on their faces.
The group soon arrived at Mr. Xia's private school in the county town. Since Ye Changyan had already communicated with Mr. Xia in advance, after some simple courtesy, Mr. Xia agreed to Wulang's request to enroll.
Ye Xiaozheng handed the gifts and tuition he had prepared in advance to Mr. Xia. Mr. Xia quickly completed the admission procedures for Wulang, informed Wulang that school would officially start tomorrow, and then gave Wulang a list of things to know about preparation for admission.
After leaving the private school, Ye Changyan gave Wulang some money and asked him to take his father to the county town for a stroll and buy some things needed for school tomorrow.
Fang Xiaotong also followed Wulang and Ye Xiaozheng, and could help carry the purchased things when the time came.
Only then did Lu Tingfeng drive the carriage towards Yunfeng Tower.
Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng were the only ones left in the carriage. Seeing that there seemed to be some awkwardness between the two, Ye Changyan spoke first.
"I see that Brother Lu has already started teaching the kid to drive a carriage. I plan to buy a carriage so that it will be more convenient for Wulang to go to school. What do you think?"
Liang Jingcheng was a little surprised that Ye Changyan was planning to buy a carriage and actually took the initiative to ask for his opinion.
"That's a good idea. Not only will it make it easier for Wulang to go to school, but it will also be much more convenient to go anywhere with a carriage. But you don't want to show off your wealth in front of others. If you buy a carriage now, won't your uncles and aunts know that your family's financial situation has greatly improved?"
Liang Jingcheng was thoughtful. Through the contact during this period, Liang Jingcheng and Mr. Cai also learned that Ye Changyan held a lot of shares in Yunfeng Tower, and a few years ago, Ye Changyan relied on wintersweet pure water and perfume to get shares in Yanzhi Tower.
Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng were both very surprised that Ye Changyan got the shares of Yunfeng Building and Yanzhi Building just a few months after the separation of the family.
Moreover, the Ye family also has a large courtyard that is about to be built, which makes Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng quite surprised at Ye Changyan's ability to make money.
"So I plan to ask Zhong Yunfeng to come forward and buy this carriage in the name of Zhong Yunfeng to avoid causing too much suspicion from the old house."
Liang Jingcheng nodded, but said with some doubt.
"Although it makes sense not to show off your wealth, it's not a good idea for you to keep hiding it like this. If it gets exposed one day, wouldn't it cause a bigger impact?"
"So I plan to build this kimchi processing workshop. It doesn't seem to require much investment, but once it starts supplying Yunfeng Building, its turnover will be fast. At that time, I also plan to encourage the villagers to grow vegetables and lead them to build this pickled cabbage workshop. Through this process, my family's income will gradually increase within a range visible to the naked eye. This process is subtle and silent, and the people in the village and the people in the old house should be easily accepted."
"This is a good idea. Before you know it, everyone will accept it naturally."
The carriage stopped at Yunfeng Tower, and Quan Youfang warmly welcomed the guests to the private room on the second floor.
"Uncle Quan, isn't Yunfeng here?"
"The boss is checking the accounts in the backyard."
"Then serve some refreshments to Mr. Liang. I'm going to the backyard to talk to Yunfeng about something."
"Hey, that's great!"
Ye Changyan and Zhong Yunfeng nodded to each other, and Ye Changyan walked towards the backyard.
Ye Changyan knocked on the door, and after a moment Zhong Yunfeng opened the door.
Zhong Yunfeng then told Ye Changyan what Ye Changyan had told him yesterday.
"Lai Chongde from the pottery shop knew that it was the pottery you ordered, and he was very excited. Before I could bargain with him, he took the initiative to lower the price and asked you to go to his shop tomorrow afternoon to see the samples."
"I have ordered a lot of jars and cans from him. He is quite honest."
Zhong Yunfeng picked up the teapot, poured a cup for Ye Changyan, and then poured another cup for himself.
"After the beginning of the year, the occupancy rate of Yunfenglou in Fucheng is still high. I have to go back to Fucheng early tomorrow morning. Do you have anything to bring to Huang Huamin? I heard that during the Spring Festival, the business of Yanzhilou is extremely hot."
"You don't need to bring anything to Huang Huamin for now. However, Wulang will go to Mr. Xia's private school in the county tomorrow to study. I plan to buy a carriage. Since you are going back to the capital, please help me and buy a spacious one in your name."
"It is indeed time to buy a carriage. It will be more convenient to go anywhere with a carriage. Do you have any requirements for the horse? Do you need to hire a driver?"
"I don't know much about horses either. You can handle it yourself. There's no need for a coachman. Fang Xiaotong is learning how to drive a carriage from Brother Lu."
Zhong Yunfeng nodded and agreed, then saw Ye Changyan staring at him with a strange expression. It was the first time that Zhong Yunfeng saw Ye Changyan giving him such a strange expression.
But what Ye Changyan said next was something Zhong Yunfeng never expected.
"Are you planning on Erniu?"
