Chapter 185
"There, there, stop crying. You'll be able to see each other again in the future," Elder Mr. Xu finally spoke up, watching the scene before him.
He called Yun Mu, Yun Yi, and Yun Yan to his side and gave each of them a piece of white jade.
"This is your teacher's token. I'll be heading to Ningzhou City soon, and you can use this to find me if you have the chance."
"With this token, you can seek me out at Ningzhou Academy. It also serves as an admission token for the academy."
"Although we'll be parting ways now and it may be a long time before we meet again, remember that a teacher is a father for life. Even though I'm leaving this place, I'll always be your master."
While Ningzhou was only a few days' journey away, at this time, even such a distance made it difficult to meet often.
"The new young teacher at the school is a very learned person. If you have any questions, you can seek his guidance. You can also write to me regularly to discuss matters."
"You are all my disciples. Even if we're apart, it won't change the bond between us as master and apprentices. Don't worry too much."
"A man shouldn't shed tears lightly, understand?"
Though Elder Mr. Xu spoke these words, his eyes were already moist.
They had been together as master and disciples for a year, a time neither long nor short.
Though they were his disciples, they were all about the same age as his grandchildren.
After spending so much time together, he had come to regard these children as his own grandchildren, and naturally felt reluctant to part with them.
Hearing Elder Mr. Xu's words, Luo Ge and Wang Sister-In-Law exchanged glances, then turned to look at the children.
Listening to their master's words, Yun Mu and the others took the tokens one by one, clutching them tightly in their hands.
"We'll always think of you, Master."
"And we'll write to you often."
"If we have the chance... we'll definitely come to visit you!"
Hearing his young disciples' words, Elder Mr. Xu smiled and ruffled their hair.
"Good, good! Your teacher will be waiting for you."
.................
After seeing off Mr. Xu and Wang Sister-In-Law and the others, Luo Ge looked down at her two little ones who were reluctant to part.
She ruffled their hair and said, "Don't worry, we won't be separated from Elder Mr. Xu for too long."
Ningzhou City was now the most prosperous large town in their southern region.
The country's largest port was also in Ningzhou City, making it a very suitable place for developing business.
As a competent businessperson, she naturally had plans to expand there.
Being from the south, she was more accustomed to the climate and conditions there.
If possible, settling in Ningzhou was not out of the question.
After all, the educational conditions, living standards, and prospects for development were all quite good there.
Hearing Luo Ge's words, Lady Qian, Luo Juan, and the others were delighted.
They understood Luo Ge's intention to expand to Ningzhou.
"Our Luo family is now settled in Ningzhou. Ge'er, if you're interested, you can try taking over our medical hall there."
"If you're not interested, that's fine too. Our family has businesses in various parts of the country. Ge'er, you can handle them however you like."
They could see that Luo Ge enjoyed doing business, so naturally, they wanted to indulge her.
No matter what, as long as their daughter was happy, that was what mattered.
Hearing this, Luo Shiyan quickly stepped forward: "We have businesses in foreign countries too. Sister, if you're interested, how about I take you to visit some foreign lands?"
"Donglin Country, Nanyue Country, Beixi Country... our family has businesses in all of them. Sister, which one would you like to visit?"
Luo Shiyan looked at Luo Ge eagerly, competing with his own father for her affection. If he had a tail behind him at this moment, one could imagine it wagging.
Ling Yun, standing to the side, could hardly bear to watch him.
However, she had no objections to this at all. She was very content with everything as it was now and understood the character of her husband and in-laws well.
They were good to her sister-in-law, but they had never treated her poorly either.
There was no question of competition or dissatisfaction.
Moreover, she really liked Luo Ge. It had to be said that Luo Ge's personality was truly likable.
Her interesting and amiable nature was one thing, and her extensive knowledge was another. She had learned a lot from interacting with Luo Ge during this time.
And Luo Ge was very capable too!
Learning that Luo Ge had built up her current business empire in just one year, she was amazed.
Because in her understanding, she had never known that women could be so impressive.
Although she had heard of her mother-in-law's reputation before, she had never had the chance to witness it firsthand.
If possible, she wanted to learn from Luo Ge!
She didn't want to be the kind of woman who lived her entire life confined to a large house, devoted solely to her husband and children, with her world limited to the courtyard.
She wanted to be like Luo Ge, maintaining beautiful relationships with her family while also demonstrating her own value.
Of course, at this moment, no one present was aware of Ling Yun's thoughts.
As for Luo Ge, hearing the words of Luo Juan and Luo Shiyan, she felt somewhat embarrassed, but she didn't voice any refusal.
"We'll talk about it later. If possible, we can cooperate and do business together."
"If we have time in the future, we can indeed go out and see the world together. As for where to go, we can discuss that later."
She didn't refuse, not because she intended to take advantage of the Luo family's resources.
It was just that if there were existing conditions, utilizing them to do business together would indeed be very good, leading to a win-win situation.
Moreover, she really did want to travel abroad, and Luo Shiyan's words truly tempted her.
