Father's Farmer's Wife: Farming Makes a Fortune

280 Chapter ulterior motives ([-])

The man was short in stature, with skinny and dark cheeks, and his deep-set eyes were full of worry. He looked very nervous when he looked at Nanmen Junhou who was sitting upright reading a book, rubbing his rough hands back and forth on his patched clothes Then, as if he had made up his mind, he walked towards Nanmen Junhou:
"Excuse me, is this Jinxiufang? I'm looking for Mrs. Hong, is she there?" His voice was hoarse, and he asked very cautiously, fearing that he might disturb someone.

Nanmen Junhou raised his eyelids, closed the books in his hands naturally, and took a look at the cramped man: "Who are you from the Hong family? What do you want to do with her?" He and Nanmen Yue sent the Hong family back yesterday, I hear she looks like a widow.

"I'm her neighbor. Her child has a severe fever. Zhu'er asked me to come here and call her back."

Nanmen Junhou couldn't help but think of the scene of a big and a small one that he saw yesterday, it seems that the Hong family came to Jinxiufang to do things, so there is no one to look after the house.

"Mr. Hong is rushing to work like this, and I can't move away. I'll let you go and have a look." Mrs. Hong is rushing with Nanmenyue to do cross-stitching, so she can't be distracted. good.

The man answered honestly and walked ahead to lead the way.

When Nanmen Junhou rushed to the corner where the Hong family lived, it was just getting dark, and the man who led the way called into the house a few times: "Zhu'er, Zhu'er." After a while, he saw the little girl from yesterday The boy came out, and subconsciously took a few steps back when he saw Nanmen Junhou, a stranger.

"Zhu'er, this is the shopkeeper of your mother's workshop. Your mother can't get away. If you have anything to do, just tell him." The man confessed, as if he was afraid of causing trouble, he left in a hurry.

Nanmen Junhou took a look at the little boy, he couldn't see his facial features clearly in the dark, but his frame was very thin, and he looked much smaller than his peers, it seems that he has suffered a lot.

"Is your brother sick? May I come in and see him?"

Zhu'er was a little shy, nodded dully, turned around and entered the room.

The narrow room was tidied up very clean, except for a simple four-corner table, there was the bed, and a little boy about three years old was lying on the bed. He was covered tightly, and his thin face was also covered. It was flushed red, and he could hear his rapid breathing before he walked in.

Nanmen Junhou bent down and touched the little boy's forehead, it was indeed very hot, and being covered in such a way, it seemed as if he had been steamed.He reached out and lifted the little boy's quilt, and turned to look at the pillar standing there: "Go and get a basin of water, then a towel, and a bowl of water."

It's getting late now, it's probably impossible to invite the doctor, tonight I will help him to dissipate the heat in his body, and then make plans when the sun rises tomorrow morning, it seems that he has to stay here tonight.

About an hour after Nanmen Junhou left Jinxiufang, Lou Xiulan came to find her in Wang's carriage, and Guo Kefu came with her. Don't worry, come and have a look.

Entering the yard from the gate, under the faint candlelight, Nanmen Yue and Hong Shi are busy there.

"Yue'er, where is your father?" Lou Xiulan yelled as soon as she came in, but there was no sign of Nanmen Junhou anywhere.

Hearing someone shouting, Nanmenyue stretched out her sleeves and touched the sweat on her forehead, then raised her head to see Lou Xiulan and Guo Kefu coming in: "Isn't Dad outside? I've been busy so I didn't pay attention to him. Did you go back?"

"I didn't see anyone outside. Did I really go back?" She murmured, "How long will it be before you finish work?" Soak it in water, then take it out, and then take it to the fire to dry.

"I'm afraid I'm going to be busy all night tonight. You should go back first. My father probably went astray with you."

Lou Xiulan nodded, seeing that Nanmenyue was very busy, she stopped bothering her and called Guo Kefu, and the two drove the carriage back.

When he got home, he still didn't see the figure of Nanmen Junhou, thinking that he would naturally walk slower, so he lay on the bed and waited, before he knew it, he fell asleep.

When the cock crowed on the second day, Nanmen Junhou left Hong's house. He saw that the little boy's body had returned to normal temperature. leave.

When he returned to Jinxiufang, he saw that the gate was already locked, knowing that Nanmenyue must have been busy all night, so he didn't ask her to open the gate.I didn't close my eyes all night, and I was exhausted, so I turned and went home.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Lou Xiulan who was getting up to make breakfast. I wanted to avoid her, so as to avoid being nagged by her, but she still bumped into me: "Master! Where have you been all night? You are quite old Not reassuring at all.”

"I'm helping at Jinxiufang. I'm tired after working all night. I'll go back to the house for a while." He walked into the house with strides.

Lou Xiulan murmured in her heart, but she didn't say anything else. First she washed the rice and put it in the pot, and made breakfast. Seeing that it was getting late, she woke up Nanmenxue, and went into the room to see that Nanmen Junhou was here. After he fell asleep in his clothes, he went to help him take off his coat. In this hot weather, with so many clothes on, how could he sleep soundly.

Stretching her hands to the skirt, she was able to touch the letter hidden in Nanmen Junhou's chest, and she took it out suspiciously.

Although Lou Xiulan was illiterate, she was the wife of the Grand Master of the Nanmen Gate, so she was somewhat influenced by her ears and eyes, and she couldn't read the difficult characters, but she remembered the water characters clearly.

She secretly put away the letter, came out of the house, and handed it directly to Nanmen Xue who was washing by the well: "Xue'er, take a look for your mother, what is this letter about?" She recognized that it was definitely Nanmen Junhou's handwriting, but I don't know what it is.

In short, I have some unknown premonition in my heart.

Nanmenxue wiped off the water droplets on her face with a towel, and then she freed her hand to receive the letter, glanced at it and didn't find anything unusual: "Mother, this is a letter of entrustment, it should be from her father A friend borrowed money from Nanmenyue." Her father really could do anything shameless for Nanmenyue.

"Who did you borrow money from? What does this say about water? Is this a letter of heart?" She had already made up her mind, but she just couldn't believe it. Ten years later, she still remembers this woman fresh when she thinks about it. , I hated it to the bone, I thought that after spending most of my life with Nanmen Junhou, it was time to settle down and settle down, but I didn't expect this woman to appear at this critical moment.

Nanmenxue followed the direction of her finger and looked again: "Shui Xinzhi, this name is so weird."
