Chapter 71 My Brother's Letter
The reinforcements from Yunnan Province in Yongkang County have left, and the troubles of the Divine Talisman Society have been resolved, but Yang Jian's father is still very busy. He has a lot to do every day, and it is rare to see him at home.
Yang Jian's fifth uncle, Yang Changhui, is still recovering from his injuries. Normally, it would take more than a month before he could get out of bed. However, after using the special healing medicine made with the blood of water monkeys from Shen's Medical Clinic, his recovery has improved significantly, and he is expected to recover in about half a month.
With the help of a martial arts master performing Qi and blood massage, recovery can be further accelerated, and it is estimated that it will be healed in no time.
When Yang Jian visited Yang Changhui again, he found that Yang Changhui's complexion was recovering day by day, becoming more and more rosy, and his condition was much better than before.
The houses and buildings in the city that were destroyed by the Divine Talisman Society are being rebuilt, and everything is moving in a positive direction.
The only problem is that Yang Jian has also become busy, not with looking for strange things, but with rebuilding the Meijiang Wharf.
The task of rebuilding the Meijiang Wharf fell to him, the man who had burned it down.
The Meiyu Gang also contributed manpower and resources to help him complete the reconstruction of the dock.
This caused Yang Jian to postpone his original plan to explore several potentially strange places within the city. Yang Jian wanted to obtain more orbs of light to quickly improve his strength, but he had other things to do and had to postpone his original plan!
After Yang Jian accomplished practical tasks, he naturally had to take responsibility for some matters concerning his family.
Meijiang Wharf is an important economic pillar in the county. It is not only the focus of attention of major forces in the city, but also related to the lives of many people in the city. Many ordinary people rely on Meijiang Wharf to survive.
It's better to get it built as soon as possible; it'll benefit everyone.
Knowing this situation, Yang Jian could only focus on the reconstruction of the Meijiang Wharf.
He himself was in charge of oversight, while most affairs were handled by knowledgeable people. The Yang family was in charge of the finances, so Yang Jian only needed to be present at the dock and keep an eye on the progress of the dock's reconstruction.
Yang Jian spends his days cultivating at the dock.
After Yang Jian's "Heavenly Serpent Breathing Technique" reached the Great Perfection level, his cultivation progress slowed down considerably, even slower than when "Star Pointing Spear" was still at the Great Perfection level.
Although Yang Jian was unable to search for strange phenomena and obtain new orbs of light due to these trivial matters, his arduous cultivation during these days was still effective.
His rapidly improving cultivation level became increasingly solid under his control, and he gradually absorbed the gains he had made during the previous battles.
During the period of rebuilding Meijiang Wharf, although his martial arts cultivation did not improve much, his overall strength improved significantly, and his power exertion and martial arts coordination were all at a higher level.
In addition, Yang Jian would consult Zheng Bo on matters of martial arts cultivation whenever he had time, and would occasionally ask him about matters related to breath control, which also brought him a lot of benefits.
He has gradually filled in the gaps in his knowledge of martial arts training.
In addition to being responsible for rebuilding the Meijiang Wharf, Jin Rong also arranged for people to investigate several places that Yang Jian had mentioned before. They even found out a place that met Yang Jian's requirements and roughly confirmed the situation.
Jin Rong understood Yang Jian's thoughts quite well.
The investigation inside the city is almost complete, but the investigation outside the city is still ongoing.
The area outside the city is not only far away, but also has more places, and it will take longer to get there.
After handling the Meijiang Wharf affairs as usual, Yang Jian returned to his residence.
"Second Young Master, a letter was delivered to the manor at noon today. It was from the Eldest Young Master, saying that they will be returning by boat from the dock in half a month."
"Master wants you to pick up the eldest young master and the others and go home together."
When Steward Zhao saw Yang Jian return, he specially followed him and said something.
These days, Yang Jian has basically been leaving early and returning late.
Even if he has nothing to do at the Meijiang Wharf, he still needs to stay there so that he can deal with any emergencies immediately.
Yang Jian had burned the Meijiang Wharf so thoroughly before, now he needs to put in a lot of effort to rebuild it.
Furthermore, Yang Jian's appearance at the dock was both a statement and a way to promote the Yang family's reputation and win the hearts of the people.
The good reputation the Yang family had among ordinary people was built up little by little.
If you do practical things for the people, the people will naturally see it.
Although Yang Jian burned down the Meijiang Wharf for the sake of the entire Yongkang County and for the reinforcements from Yunnan, it did indeed cut off the livelihoods of many people around the wharf.
Previously, because of the Divine Talisman Society, the people in the city did not blame Yang Jian. But now that the Divine Talisman Society is no longer a threat, those who cannot survive naturally attribute the problem to Yang Jian and the Yang family.
Now, Yang Jian personally comes every day to supervise the construction progress of the Meijiang Wharf, precisely to nip this trend in the bud and accumulate more good reputation for the Yang family.
The concept of "reputation" can be very useful or completely useless.
"Big brother and third sister came back together?"
When Yang Jian heard the word "they," he knew that not only his eldest brother Yang Shengxiao had returned, but also his third sister Yang Shengchan.
The three of them are siblings from the same mother, so their relationship is even closer.
When his adoptive father arranged his studies abroad, he actually included Yang Jian in the plan, but the original owner of the body refused!
Studying abroad and learning this and that is nowhere near as good as staying home and being a spoiled brat.
Furthermore, the original owner knew that no matter how hard he tried, the Yang family would only be inherited by his elder brother, not by him, so he might as well just give up and be done with it.
After Yang Jian transmigrated, apart from the memory of falling into the water, the rest of his memories were all happy and full of enjoyment. He was a typical spoiled brat who just wanted to live a life of leisure.
"Besides the eldest young master and the third young lady, there will also be the eldest young master's fiancée, Zhou Yun, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, and the second young master's fiancée, Li Mingzhu, the eldest daughter of the Li family's business association. They will also be coming back by boat together."
"Master wants you to go pick up the eldest young master and the others, and also to spend some time with the eldest daughter of the Li family's business association."
Butler Zhao made his point very clear.
This made Yang Jian understand the intention.
Urge marriage.
Yang Jian had reached the age to get married.
Now, he's going to pick up his older brother and the others so he can spend some time with his fiancée, Li Mingzhu, before they get married.
Yang Jian doesn't have many memories of his fiancée, Li Mingzhu. Although they were betrothed as children, they didn't have much interaction and hadn't met many times.
The only memory that left a deep impression was that when this person grew up and was urged by his family to get married, he resolutely decided to study abroad, no matter how much his family objected.
Finally, he acted first and informed his family later, going abroad to study before telling them, causing a huge mess.
The president of the Li family's business association even visited the Yang family that same day to apologize, and stayed at their home for a long time before leaving.
Many people thought the marriage was going to fall through, but unexpectedly, nothing came of it.
Yang Jian didn't know what had happened at the manor, but the marriage was still arranged in the end.
In fact, Yang Jian, who was living a life of leisure and idleness at that time, didn't care about these things. As for marriage, he could only listen to his father's arrangements. He didn't need to care, nor could he. As a spoiled rich kid, all he needed to do was enjoy life.
