Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 264 Uncle Feng and the others recommended Mr.

Su He just wanted to see the teaching level here and learn some knowledge about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She knew that if she could meet people trained by aristocratic families, they would have dabbled in these things. She could also learn from them and improve her personal cultivation.

There is a horse farm here, and they all want to learn horse riding and archery. The masters have promised them that they will take time to learn with them after they come here. This is the place where villages and towns cannot be compared with cities. There are many things here that they don’t have there.

Uncle Feng and his friends discussed it and thought of a suitable person, Ye Yanzhi. He was the runner-up in the imperial examination and married Zhao Lanxin, the daughter of Minister Zhao.

He was promoted to the sixth rank of the Ministry of Works. If it weren't for his father's involvement, he would have been dismissed and exiled to a border town. His career prospects would have been ruined.

Not long after their family arrived here, his father died of illness, and the family began to practice martial arts. When the border town was attacked by the enemy several times, their family members showed bravery. This made the Ye family gradually appreciated, and they had come down from the mines and did some easier work.

Ye Yanzhi is now doing the work of reconciling accounts. They know about the Ye family because their brothers mentioned the Ye family. Because the Ye family members are really brave when killing the enemy, and each of them is brave and resourceful.

They can find this person by talking to Wang Xiaohu. It is not difficult for them. Anyway, the general's mansion has the final say here. Although Ye Yanzhi is a criminal, no one in the border town cares about this. Many people are guilty, and gradually they make meritorious deeds here to get rid of their crimes and regain their freedom.

All of this depends on the general's arrangement. If you are brave and good at fighting here and kill the enemy bravely, you have a chance to be pardoned. As long as you live here, after a few generations, no one will remember what you did wrong, and those who remember their crimes will have passed away.

Feng Dayuan roughly told them what they thought, and explained the whole story of the Ye family. As for why they were exiled here, some of the things in the documents could not be fully trusted, as many of them were too inconsistent.

They had been with the general for so long and had seen too much. Some of them had really committed crimes, some were framed, and some were implicated. There were too many of these various things to find out, so they could only get a rough idea based on their original official positions.

They probably knew that the Ye family had a good family tradition, and the men of the Ye family in the army also had a good reputation. This meant that Ye Yanzhi was an okay person, so they recommended him to come over and give it a try.

Su He has watched too many historical dramas, and how many people were implicated in the royal struggles and were punished and exiled. If they all say that the Ye family is good, it should be okay. Give it a try first, and if it doesn't work, then just quit.

She felt that since this person was born into a family of officials and was able to rank second in the imperial examination, he must be very capable and was more than qualified to teach his brothers based on this fact.

As for a person's character, you can probably tell something about it after meeting him/her in person, so meet him/her first. If you don't like him/her, you can look for another one.

Su He discussed with his father and asked Uncle Feng to go to Wang Xiaohu to ask for someone. Uncle Feng smiled and said, "This is a small matter. Our General's Mansion is responsible for this. You can choose anyone you want. Just say hello and come directly."

Su He thought to himself that it was easier to get things done when someone in the court was in charge. This was a big deal for them, but it was solved with just one word. The importance of power was fully demonstrated, and they had no choice but to accept it.

Su He quickly thanked him: "Then I'll trouble Uncle Feng to make the trip. Let's ask him to come over to our house tomorrow! We'll all wait at home and prepare the room today."

Feng Dayuan bowed in return and strode out to ask Wang Xiaohu for the person.

Su He ran to find her brothers and cleared a room in the second courtyard. She also needed to go out and buy a few single desks. She and her eldest brother Su Pei took a car to buy tables and stools, as they didn't have them ready at home.

They came to the carpenter's shop, where there were five ready-made tables. They agreed on a price with the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper didn't trust them at first, but when he saw the two children take out the silver, he didn't dare to look down on them.

First, let them send these five tables and five chairs to the house. Then, after ordering five more tables and chairs and sitting them, send them to the Su family. Then, calculate the money with the shopkeeper and pay the money for the five tables and chairs first and the deposit for the remaining five.
