Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 272
Thousands of houses are decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there is a lot of traffic in front of the door, which is very festive.

When Du Xiaoyu and Li Yuanqing arrived, the newcomers were performing worship ceremony.

At this time, Zhang Zhuoyu was already different from before. After serving as the county magistrate for a year, he lost a little youthfulness and seemed to be a responsible person.

After the ceremony, everyone went to the living room. Master Wan came to greet him personally, and ordered his servants to seat them. Before they could sit down, several businessmen and their wives came over to say hello.

Du Xian, his wife, and Zhao Dongzhi's family had already arrived, and they sat in one place after all the people who attended the ceremony dispersed.

Zhao Dongzhi said with emotion, "I used to have my nose up to the sky, but now I'm humbled, so it's said that all things are inferior, but reading is high!"

Du Xiaoyu was noncommittal, the superficial scenery may be intoxicating, but the risks are also accompanied by it, and you have to pay for what you get. Li Yuanqing is just a small seventh-rank official, but as long as one of many things is not handled properly, it may lead to disaster. To put it more exaggeratedly, it is just a business of tying your head to the waistband of your trousers.

The three of them happened to sit at the same table. During Li Yuanqing's tenure as an official, he was kind and didn't like to put on airs, so everyone came to toast frequently. When the groom came out, he had already drunk a few glasses of wine.

When they saw each other again, they didn't know what to say, their eyes met, Du Xiaoyu stood up, and seriously said some congratulatory words.

Zhang Zhuoyu smiled, held the wine in return, and drank three cups with Li Yuanqing.

Amidst the noise, he walked to other tables.

Thinking of the memories of those years, Du Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Some people come and go, some people come and go. They always meet different passers-by in their lives, and there are very few who can stay by their side from the beginning to the end. , even friends.

"I heard that he is quite famous in Qiyu County..." Du Xian looked at Zhang Zhuoyu's back, how much he liked this young man at that time, now it seems that his original vision was indeed correct, but he was not a predestined person .

Mrs. Zhao pinched him under the table, changed the subject, and asked Zhao Dongzhi, "How is Xiaoying? I was thinking of coming to see him in two days, but Mrs. Wan sent me a post, and I happened to be at your place later. "

Unexpectedly, Zhao Dongzhi frowned, and whispered, "I don't know what happened, this baby is very edible, and Xiaoying's milk is not enough, hey, you didn't see it, our Xiaoying is suffering, the blood you sip It's about to come out! But it worries me to death, the baby is not full, and cries all day long..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhao said, "Didn't you get some milk-promoting drink? Tell the doctor to prescribe some prescriptions!"

"Nowhere, I've been eating it for a few days, and it doesn't help at all."

Du Xiaoyu was sitting next to Mrs. Zhao. Although Zhao Dongzhi kept her voice low, she was speaking for Du Xiaoyu. She also became anxious for Huang Xiaoying, "Then use rice porridge instead? By the way, why don't you try it with milk?"

Zhao Dongzhi shook his head again and again, shaking his hands and said, "This child is still picky, he doesn't like to eat those things, he insists on drinking milk, what can you do? It's weird to say that I'm fine, why Xiaoying? It’s not like me? I’ve drank a lot of bastard soup and pig’s trotter soup, and it doesn’t work at all.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao didn't know what to do.

Zhao Dongzhi just sighed, "I can only force the baby to drink, Xiaoying looks so distressed."

"Why don't you invite a nanny?" Du Xiaoyu thought for a while. Anyway, both of them are doing well in business, so hiring a nanny would not mean that there is no money.

Zhao Dongzhi also lived a hard life since she was a child, and she always thought that such a thing as asking a nanny was only done by a wealthy family, so she never thought about it. At this time, when Du Xiaoyu said it, she slapped her forehead and said, "Yes. Ah, why didn't I think of it? It's not that we can't afford to hire, yes, yes, I'll go and tell Sister Wu in a while to see if there is a suitable nanny, who happens to help take care of her."

After the banquet was over, he left Wan's family, and Du Xiaoyu followed them to Huang Xiaoying's place.

As soon as he entered, he heard the baby crying loudly. The voice was extremely loud. Lin Qingzhen was holding her with rice porridge in one hand and was holding her helplessly to feed her.

As a result, the baby didn't like to eat, and threw up all over his face.

As a father for the first time, Lin Qingzhen was very uncomfortable. Zhao Dongzhi hurriedly stepped forward to help, and asked, "Why are you feeding? Where is Xiaoying?"

"I just drank the medicine, I told her to lie down and rest."

Du Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, let me hug you, and you can rest too."

Lin Qingzhen smiled at her, and carefully handed the baby to Du Xiaoyu.

"Xiao He, I'm your cousin, do you recognize me?" She reached out and touched her cheek lightly. The baby has already been named, because she was born when the lotus bloomed, so her first name was Lin Bihe.

Lin Bihe's eyes were flickering, and her face was innocent.

She's really cute, but when she grows up, don't be like Lin Qingqiu, that girl is very ruthless, I don't know if she can change it in the future.

Huang Xiaoying heard that she wanted to find a nanny for Lin Bihe. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, after all, it was her own child who needed someone else to feed her. But there was really no solution to the current situation, so she had to agree. Who made her feel sorry for Lin Bihe? I would like to let her eat other things to make ends meet.

There are not many suitable nannies. Aunt Wu ran around the village and counties several times before finding three.

In the end, a woman surnamed Cao, 22 years old, is said to be a widow. Her father-in-law passed away when the child was born, and the family was extremely poor. Fortunately, her milk production is high enough to support two children. Wen Wen was quiet, Huang Xiaoying saw her pitiful, so she chose her.

Now the problem was solved, they made a special room for Mrs. Cao to live in, Lin Bihe also liked to drink her milk, I heard that she was very diligent and would help with things, so Mrs. Zhao often went to restaurants when she was free.

After a few days, Guanshi Yao raised money, and Guanshi Luo went out to buy goods.

Before she could buy the medicinal materials and come back, the old lady summoned Manager Yao again.

Du Xiaoyu was also there, waiting for these days, just for the day when the net was collected, so that he could catch Manager Yao and his accomplices in one go.

"The pharmacist has already been invited. I've called you here to get all the medicinal materials from the warehouse, so that the master can use them to refine medicine. Let's try it out first."

This sentence is no less than a bolt from the blue. He clearly said that it would take a month or two, but in less than half a month he said he would invite the master, and he wanted to get the medicinal materials immediately. Would Manager Yao not be shocked?He turned pale, but years of experience had given him a lot of training, so he quickly calmed down, "Young Madam said that I would give the villain a month or two to prepare, why did you suddenly invite someone?"

Are you blaming her sense of time?Du Xiaoyu smiled, "I didn't expect the pharmacist to agree so easily, and it also caught me by surprise."

Guanshi Yao looked at Lurui at this moment, clearly hinting at it.

Lu Rui nodded slightly, and Manager Yao said again, "Madam, how many medicinal materials do you want to get? If you practice your hands, the villain will send someone over in a while."

"Take as much as you have."

Guanshi Yao's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden, he struggled and said, "I can't take all of it, there will be customers who want to buy it."

"I've looked at the account books. In the past few months, the medicinal materials have not been moved much. It can be seen that no one wants to buy them. Either our shop is not famous enough, so we bought them from other shops. How about making them into pills, what do you think, grandma?" Du Xiaoyu asked the old lady for her opinion.

The old lady's tone was a bit gloomy, "Guan Yao, why are you talking so much, just go and get it."

Guanshi Yao had no choice, knowing that today's test must be passed, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yes, the villain will go to the warehouse to get it."

Lu Rui hurriedly found an excuse to follow out.

Guanshi Yao gritted his teeth and stared at Lu Rui, "Why didn't you have any news beforehand? Why did you work in front of the old lady? The money I give your old lady every month is for nothing!"

Lu Rui blushed, "I don't know either."

"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you find someone to go to Wanjia's warehouse for emergency treatment?"

"Will the manager agree? This time it's not like before, it's just for filling, but it's used to make medicine for others..."

Before Lurui finished speaking, Guanshi Yao interrupted viciously, "He took so many benefits before, so what if he used the medicinal materials from their Wanjia? Anyway, Guanshi Luo has already gone to buy the goods, and I will replenish him when the time comes. Their Wan family will not be able to use so many medicinal materials these days!"

Seeing that Lurui was still standing still, Guanshi Yao wished he could kick him over and shouted, "It's like a piece of wood, no wonder you can't be a big maid!"

Lu Rui blushed and hurried away.

Yao Guanshi went to the opposite place.

He thought a lot, if Zhang Guanshi really couldn't move the medicinal materials, then the matter would get out of hand, and it would be exposed at that time, the old lady's fiery temper, there must be no good end for him!

But the family still has a wife, daughter, son-in-law, and grandson, so they have to make arrangements for the future.

Seeing him running back in sweat, Fang wondered, "What's wrong with you?"

"Take out all the valuables at home."

"Ah? What's the matter?" Fang asked in surprise, "What happened?"

"Take it if you tell me, pack it up and take the kids and hire a car to go to He County."

"He County?" Fang was confused by him, but she looked so terrified, she was afraid that something serious happened, she asked while digging out the banknotes from the room and wrapping up all the jewelry. , "Are you going now? What about you, Mr. Xianggong? Are you coming soon? What's the matter? Has something happened to the Lin family?"

"What are you talking so much about?" Guanshi Yao became even more restless when she asked her repeatedly, waving his hands and said, "At least you listen to me, hurry up and leave."

"The old lady wants to ask..."

"Let's just say that the son-in-law's family has something to do, isn't it easy to say? Go over there and find someone called the youngest, he will know, you hurry up and clean up, I'm leaving first!" Yao Guanshi turned and ran out the door again.

Fang's heart is full of emotions, but she has always obeyed her husband's words, and even more quickly packed up her belongings.
