Chapter 299 Going to Yuanqi Academy is just a matter of one sentence
It had been less than two years since Sixth Grandpa came to Beijing, and he had transformed himself into the King of Pingshan. The fragile hearts of Xiao Wenyong and his companions were greatly shocked.
However, before they could digest this shock, they learned the identity of Sixth Grandma. Old Master Ye Peng had found his biological father, who was none other than the powerful old Duke of Protectorate. Sixth Grandma was not only the Princess of Pingshan, but also the eldest daughter of the Duke of Protectorate's mansion.
The Xiao clan members' minds were in a mess and they couldn't figure out what was going on.
These two pieces of shocking news were difficult for them to digest.
It was Xiao Wenchao who first came to his senses: "Sixth Grandfather is a prince, so doesn't that mean he is... not our real Sixth Grandfather?"
Jamel Xiao raised his hand and touched his head lovingly: "I was adopted by my father. Even if I'm not his biological son, I'm still your Sixth Grandpa. Be good, call me Sixth Grandpa and let me hear it."
Xiao Wenchao was stunned: "Sixth Grandpa."
"So good!" Jamel Xiao smiled gently. Being a grandfather again, he felt comfortable all over.
These nephews and grandchildren are really good, they are all well-behaved and obedient, and they will do whatever you tell them to do!
After the Xiao clan members recovered, washed up, ate, and put the escorted goods in the warehouse, Ye Tang said, "You can stay in the palace with peace of mind. The palace is very big and there is no shortage of places for you to stay. You don't have to be restrained in the capital. Do whatever you want. If you need any help with your business, just go find Manager Yu and he will help you solve the problem."
Ye Tang paused, and then said, "I have something to say in advance. Although the Pingshan Palace is your backer, you must not use the power of the Pingshan Prince to bully others in the capital and do evil. Do you understand?"
The Xiao clan members quickly promised that they would behave well in the capital.
Ye Tang nodded with satisfaction: "The capital is very big, and there are officials everywhere. You must not take anything lightly."
Xiao Jingxuan also gave a few instructions, and told the Xiao clan members to just go ahead and do it.
The people of the Xiao clan came to the capital not only for Xiao Wenye, but also to do some business in the capital and find opportunities to promote the various things currently produced by the Xiao clan.
Handmade soap, chili peppers, sugar, and all kinds of food.
These are the skills that Sixth Grandma taught them, and they want to carry them forward.
Xiao Jingxuan called Xiao Wenye to him and said, "Wenye, you make Sixth Grandpa proud. With Sixth Grandpa here, you can choose any academy in the capital. What do you think of Yuanqi Academy?"
Xiao Wenye was stunned: "Yuan, Yuan, Yuanqi Academy?"
This is the highest institution of learning in the Yuan Dynasty!
How dare he hope for that.
"Sixth Grandpa, with my strength, I'm afraid I can't get in."
Although he was the top scorer in the provincial examination, he was only the top scorer in Tianan Prefecture. In this huge capital city, his strength was still not enough.
Jamel Xiao patted his shoulder and said, "Just tell me whether you want to go to Yuanqi Academy or not. Don't waste your time talking nonsense."
Xiao Wenye swallowed his saliva: "I want to go, but..."
Jamel Xiao smiled: "If you want to go, then go. I'll send someone to say hello, and you can go there tomorrow."
Ye Tang said: "Have someone take Wen Ye there, don't let him go alone."
Xiao Wenye: “…”
No, that’s Yuanqi Academy!
Did Sixth Grandpa and Sixth Grandma make the decision so casually?
Xiao Wenye was very nervous.
That night, the Xiao clan members had trouble sleeping. They were too excited and couldn't fall asleep.
Jamel Xiao met with Head of the Lei Biao alone: "Uncle Lei, thank you for your hard work along the way."
"Not hard." Lei Baotou smiled naively, "The master's nephews and grandchildren are very united. They have been quiet along the way, not causing trouble and not meddling in other people's business. Bringing them to the capital is the easiest escort trip I have ever taken."
As soon as the sun rose, everyone in the Xiao clan got up early and the servants prepared breakfast.
Seeing these servants in the palace doing things in an orderly manner, the Xiao clan members suddenly came to their senses. They realized that yesterday was not a dream, they really came to the Pingshan Palace.
After breakfast, a man named Xu Qing came to find Xiao Wenye and sent him to Yuanqi Academy.
Xu Qing smiled and said, "Brother Wenye, I am also a student of Yuanqi Academy. We will be classmates in the future."
Xiao Wenye left with his classmates, and the other members of the Xiao family followed Ye Tang to Labu.
The peppers and other things that were escorted by the Xiao clan were delivered to Labu Bā just after dawn.
The Xiao clan members had a hotpot meal at Labala.
Ye Tang told them some things happening in the capital.
After the Qiao family was gone, other merchant families in the capital sprang up like bamboo shoots after spring rain. All kinds of shops and restaurants opened and closed, and reopened again. In short, it was very chaotic and there was a lot of fighting.
Xiao Wenchao smiled and said, "We won't participate in those fights. The things we brought won't do much business. We can just make a little money and understand the market in the capital."
Their land is in Tianan Prefecture, and their workshops and shops are all in Tianan Prefecture. They came to the capital just to broaden their horizons.
Ye Tang said everything that needed to be said, so as to save the Xiao clan from taking the wrong path.
Afterwards, Ye Tang went to the Da Si Nong Temple, and the people of the Xiao clan were free to display their abilities in the capital.
When the Xiao clan members were shopping, they came to a wide street and saw a large carpentry shop.
It is called Han’s Carpentry Shop.
This shop has two floors, and sells all wooden products, such as tables, chairs, benches, beds, wooden swords, puppets, boxes, textile machines...
In addition to war equipment such as trebuchets, this shop sells all wooden products related to daily life. They are finely crafted and come in a variety of styles.
The store is bustling with people and business is brisk.
The Xiao clan members were very interested and came in to take a look. But after just a few glances, they were reluctant to look away.
"This chair is really well made, and the carvings on it are quite exquisite, but... ten taels of silver is too expensive!" Xiao Wenhai was shocked when he casually asked about the price.
Although the chair was nice, in his opinion, it was not worth ten taels of silver.
Three hundred coins at most.
The guy glared at him and said, "If you can't afford it, don't look at it."
Xiao Wenhai sneered: "You open the door to do business, but you don't let people see it."
The clerk said, "The chairs in the Han Family Carpentry Shop are all priced this way. This is something that the entire capital knows. No one who comes into this shop to buy anything will complain that it's too expensive."
"Everything here is made by the Han family. Each one is worth the money. Not to mention ten taels of silver, even a hundred taels can be sold."
Xiao Wenhai nodded: "Yeah, yeah, you're right, don't mention a hundred taels, you can sell it for a thousand taels, but I also have the right to shout out the price."
The guy was unhappy and was about to say something when Xiao Wenchao and others came over.
"Brother Wenhai, what's wrong?" Xiao Wenchao asked.
Xiao Wenhai waved his hand: "It's nothing, I was just looked down upon. Have you finished looking? If you don't want to buy anything, let's go!"
"No, they're too expensive!" Xiao Wenchao glanced at the waiter coldly.
When the Xiao clan members walked out of the gate, a luxurious carriage stopped at the door of the shop. The second master of the Han family got off the carriage and passed by the Xiao clan members as he walked into the shop.
Xiao Wenhai took another curious look at the carriage.
This carriage is not only luxurious and beautiful, but also has a very unique design, and seems to contain many hidden mechanisms.
