Chapter 70 Choice
If it were in the past.

With Wang An's temperament, he would run away just like that after making such a big enemy.

But now, he has finally gained a foothold in the Ming Dynasty, and his younger cousin has invested so much money to build this family business, and even bought a maid. Recently, he has been considering buying a house in the city once he earns some money.

Everything was going well, but he was reluctant to give up his family business, and he also couldn't bear to let down his cousin, Ergou, and the neighbors in Doujiafang by just leaving like that.

Ergou and the neighbors were not so bad, but the main problem was that his rich cousin had just invested 25,000 taels in him, but he ran away without a word before even a month had passed.

How does this make others see you?

What's more, the eldest brother is like a father. Although Wang An did not consider himself Wang Xin's biological father, he still had to maintain the face of his elder. There was no reason for him to just run away.

Besides, if I run away, wouldn’t that be the same as letting the more than 20,000 taels of silver go down the drain?

In the Ming Dynasty, where the average annual income per capita was less than eight taels of silver, Wang An could not have done such a dishonest thing.

Not to mention, the other person is his only blood relative in this world.

It’s hard to say, but there are some things that you have to do!

Thinking of this, Wang An became ruthless and turned to Yun Zhao and ordered, "Go back to the herbal medicine shop. I have several hundred taels of silver under my bed. Find it and take your mother to find an inn to stay. If I don't go back to the herbal medicine shop for three to five days, you can take your mother and live in the south."

"Master, what are you doing..." Yun Zhao was horrified when she heard this. After all, she was the educated daughter of a wealthy family, and she immediately felt something was wrong when she heard what Wang An said.

Wang An waved his hand, signaling Yun Zhao not to ask any more questions. He straightened his clothes and urged, "Go quickly. I am a very smart man, and I don't believe I can be controlled by a traitor!"

After saying that, he no longer paid any attention to Yun Zhao and strode towards the capital.

However, before he had taken two steps, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

Wang An turned his head and saw Yun Zhao, and immediately frowned, "Didn't I tell you to leave quickly? What else is there?"

However, Yun Zhao had a firm look on his face, "The master never beat or scolded me after he bought me back, and he even cured my mother's illness, but he refused... refused to take my body."

"I have no way of repaying your kindness. If I abandon you now, will I still be a human being?"

"My life and property have already been purchased by the master. Although I don't know what the master is going to do, Yun Zhao will follow him even if it means going through fire and water!"

Wang An was immediately moved. He said that he bought Yun Zhao only because he was literate and good at math, and he bought him to work as his accountant for peace of mind.

As for curing the other person's mother, it was just a matter of convenience. After all, I had allicin in my hands and I had plenty of it. Not to mention, I also had the idea of ​​using Yun Zhao's mother to make Yun Zhao worry about her and not run away with her money.

As for revealing the location of the hidden silver just now, it was only because I thought that my future was uncertain and if I couldn't come back, I would just consider it as a good thing.

But he didn't expect that when everyone ran away, it was a young girl like Yun Zhao who followed him.

Wang An sighed. At this moment, he didn't care about the differences between men and women, nor did he have any dirty thoughts. He was completely moved and influenced by the way people in later generations behaved. He opened his arms and gently embraced Yun Zhao in his arms, patting him on the back.

I was so moved that I didn't know what to say.

Although he was not a sea king in his previous life, he had made a few friends and had a one-night stand with a seductive woman he had never met in a bar. But now, facing Yun Zhao, what should a Ming woman who values ​​love and friendship say?

In the end, he just hugged her and finally managed to say something stiff: "You always use me to fight with others, but never take girls to charge!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away, but he took two steps and stopped, saying nonchalantly, "Your indenture is under my pillow."

Looking at Wang Anda's back as he did not leave, Yun Zhao stood there in a daze, her red lips slightly parted, her pretty face flushed but her lips pale.

After a long while, she murmured, "Master, you can go now. If you can't come back, I will take care of the ancestral tablets at home for you."

In fact, until now, Yun Zhao still didn't quite understand what had happened that could have made his master feel like he was facing a great enemy, as if his life was hanging by a thread.

But she remembered that her private school teacher once taught her when she was a child that if one did not repay the kindness in this world, he would be worse than an animal.

Wang An strode into Beijing City from Zuoanmen, but just as he passed Guangningmen and was about to arrive at Xuanwumen, Wang An's anger subsided and he began to hesitate.

I just thought that Yun Zhao was a girl, and I had just made some great speeches and let her take my indenture contract and escape on her own. If I go back this time, I will be too embarrassed to do that.

So my cousin's face kept flashing through my mind. I thought about how my uncle's family was risking their lives for money at the border, and I didn't want to let their tens of thousands of taels of silver go to waste.

He also thought that he had just made some achievements in the Ming Dynasty, but it was about to be taken away by others. The pride that belonged to future generations in his heart really made him unable to swallow this.

Think about it again, if you encounter difficulties in the capital, you can back out, because it is not you who invested, so you will not feel too bad if someone else takes away your money.

But if I run away, my cousin's chance of success will be cut off, and he might even be so angry that he will hunt me down all over the world.

Even if he fled to Jiangnan, what would it matter? Although there were not as many nobles in Jiangnan as in the capital, the gentry and powerful people in Jiangnan were not easy to deal with.

In these cannibalistic times, even if you farm peacefully, when the summer harvest comes and the autumn harvest comes, government officials will come to your door to extort money.

Not to mention, I have made up my mind to do something big.

Even if it's not Zhu Chunchen today, there are still Gou Chunchen and Donkey Chunchen targeting me. Does that mean I will go bankrupt every time one of them comes?

Slowly, Wang An convinced himself and his steps became more firm.

After walking for another half an hour, a magnificent palace wall suddenly came into view.

"This is the Meridian Gate..."

Wang An sighed. In his previous life, he was busy and busy just to make a few pieces of silver. Although he could enter the Forbidden City to visit by just buying a ticket, he didn't have the leisure time for that.

Now that I am standing in front of the Meridian Gate, I feel that it is even more magnificent than what I saw on TV.

However, when I thought about what kind of disaster this supreme symbol that originally belonged to the Han regime would encounter seventeen years later, and that it would be occupied by foreign races, I couldn't help but feel a little pain in my heart.

"This is all fate! The Ming Dynasty was the most righteous and strong dynasty in history, but it is also the most unlucky dynasty in history. All kinds of troubles have happened one after another, as if it was targeted by heaven..."
