Chapter 152

Simply the joy of this new home did not make Qin Mengyao and others suffer too much.A few days later, Fang Yuan came from Pulan City, and specially told everyone to pack up their belongings in advance, and they can move in immediately after the decoration of the new house is completed.Even Nan Cheng Mo, who was blind, fumbled to pack it up, but after breaking two teacups one after another, he finally sat aside willingly.

Before Qiao lived, Fangyuan had sent someone to clean up the original two houses of Li Dazhuang's house, and moved most of the things there in advance, even the flowers and plants planted in the courtyard were gradually moved to the newly built courtyard. In this way, the remote house, which was originally full of vitality, slowly returned to its earlier coldness.

The joy of relocation has already infected everyone. Qin Mengyao experienced several relocations in his early years, from spacious villas to calm one-story houses and then to ordinary buildings. Every move means a change in life, so he has long been a little numb , but this time it was an unusual relocation for her.

This is the first time for her to live in an ancient home in a real sense, and she enters as the hostess, so she can't help but feel excited. Infected by this atmosphere, the heart that had been covered by haze for the past few days finally cleared up slowly.

Mama Liu and Mrs. Nan each lived in a house as home guests, and the living environment was several times better than that in a remote house, so they were also full of joy.However, Li Dazhuang and his wife came here in the name of doing work, so as soon as they returned to Shita Village, they returned to live in their own home.

As a result, there were still several vacant rooms in the courtyard, so Qin Mengyao simply used one of them as his own studio for extracting essential oils, and another room that had been carefully installed by Fang Yuan with a large bookshelf for his own work. It is used in the study room. Although Nan Chengmo’s eyesight has not yet recovered, there are still several good books collected from Nanfu on the bookshelf. Qin Mengyao couldn’t help being elated when she saw it. I haven't touched a book for half a year, and my heart is so panicked that it almost grows grass.

According to folk customs, when moving into a new home, the host usually has a big banquet to increase the yang energy of the house and drive away the ghosts that used to live in the house.

So on the second day after settling down, under Fang Yuan's arrangement, three tables of banquets were specially arranged for guests from the village. The village chief Li Zheng and others helped Nan Cheng Mo a lot, so they were also invited as guests. The guest of honor, and the senior old people in the village are naturally present one by one. Although the host only showed up for a moment due to eye disease, everyone returned after eating and drinking. After all, such a day of eating and drinking is rare in the village. It is absolutely impossible for the wealthiest rich man in the village to entertain the villagers with such a sumptuous feast, not to mention that there are three tables in this set!

Seeing that Mr. Nan who he had no intention of taking in at the beginning was so rich and powerful, he was excited by his wise decision at the time, so he drank happily. He immediately slapped Fang Yuan on his chest, promising that from now on, Mr. Nan's matter will be the village's most important thing. As far as the matter is concerned, he will spare no effort in whatever he can do. After Fangyuan listened to it, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground. The purpose of his big banquet this time is to get the young master to get the approval of the whole village. After all, Nan Cheng It's just a foreigner who bought the land in this village for no reason, and some people will inevitably murmur behind his back.

However, now that the village chief has given the guarantee, the villagers will definitely not provoke disputes again. This way, it is good for everyone, so they sent someone to fetch a few jars of good wine and drank with the village chief until nightfall. gradually dispersed.

Since moving into the new home, Mrs. Nan seems to be a different person. At first she was always insane, she even mistook Fang Yuan for Nan Chengyan, but since she returned to Shita Village, she was much more silent, always quiet. Sitting in the room, even Fang Yuan was often turned a blind eye. Everyone was used to Mrs. Nan's madness, so suddenly they felt a little uncomfortable.

As the flower seedlings arrived one after another, Qin Mengyao gradually got busy again before recovering from the novelty of moving into the new home.

Although Fangyuan has been busy with business for several days, he is extremely concerned about Nancheng Mo's affairs. Aiwujiwu naturally treats Qin Mengyao's affairs as his own business, and in just two days, he took care of all the seedlings planted in the courtyard And all the flowers were shipped over.

It's just that it's midsummer now, and after such a toss, the trees seemed a little wilted that day. Qin Mengyao recalled the twists and turns during this period, but these trees were not safe, and several roses that had already budded were crushed on the way. It was unsightly, and I was very annoyed in my heart, so I didn't care about the hot weather, and worked together with a few temporary laborers to plant the seedlings in the courtyard as soon as possible.

In the evening, the summer heat finally dropped a little, and Qin Mengyao fetched a few buckets of water from the well, and after pouring them thoroughly, he finally stopped to catch his breath.However, the few gardenia trees still drooped their leaves, Qin Mengyao looked at them anxiously, wishing that they could not rejuvenate the dead trees without the magic spell.

"People move to live, trees move to death, and these trees have been unlucky for eight lifetimes with me. I can only hope that their lives will recover, otherwise our work these days will really be in vain," Qin Mengyao looked helplessly. Looking at Aunt Li who was also frowning beside her, she felt unwilling.

"No matter what, we did our best. Besides, these saplings will not be so fragile. If they are full of water today, they should be fine tomorrow. Just rest assured. We planted crops earlier, and in drought years , The crops are drooping their heads even worse than this, but even if they don’t water them, they all come back alive,” Aunt Li didn’t know what to do, but she still comforted Qin Mengyao in every possible way.

However, Qin Mengyao knew in his heart that these seedlings had only been planted for a month or so, and the roots had just grown, but were dug out again, and the roots would inevitably be damaged. Even if it recovered, it would take a while, not to mention the weather now It is hot and the water evaporates quickly, which can be described as worse.

After a night of anxiety, when I looked at it the next day, most of the seedlings had recovered, but the two seriously wilted jasmine and gardenia were obviously hard to recover. Qin Mengyao was heartbroken, but he had to use flower scissors to prune some branches and leaves Clean, only a few top leaves are left to ensure that the water in the tree body will not be lost seriously.

When the house was first built, Fangyuan specially reserved an entire independent yard for Qin Mengyao to plant flowers, but who would have thought that after planting all the flower trees, the originally extremely spacious courtyard would become full, those flower seedlings , Potted plants also make full use of the area divided by Qin Mengyao.

The rose alone occupies a whole area of ​​land, and people's hands are pricked many times when planting alone, but Qin Mengyao has a special liking for these flower seedlings, and even moved the white rose plant to one side specially. In the large flower pot, many cuttings are specially raised in the flower pot.

And while Qin Mengyao was busy in the courtyard, Nan Chengmo was never idle.

On the day of the banquet, everyone in the village saw the sudden change of the Nan family's sudden wealth. In addition, the village head announced that he would support the Nan family, so those who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to please them also came to the door to congratulate them.

Ordinarily, Nan Chengmo was blind and had no intention of seeing guests, but Qin Mengyao spent all day tending flowers and plants in the small courtyard next to him, and almost never went back to his room except for eating and sleeping, so it was naturally impossible for him to come out to receive visitors.But it's not an answer to keep people out of the door all the time, so Nan Cheng Mo had no choice but to bite the bullet and come forward to meet people after he shied away a few times.

Earlier, when Nancheng Mo was in Shita Village, when he and Li Dazhuang were growing mushrooms together, he also had acquaintance with the villagers a few times. Although the villagers were not impressed with this foreigner, but this time they saw Nancheng Mo blind. , but he was also taken aback. Originally, Nan Cheng Mo behaved like a scholar, but his eyes were good after all, but this time when he came back, he suddenly turned into this pair of dull eyes, which is regrettable.

Nan Cheng Mo felt inexplicably irritable when he finally sent several neighbors away this day. He was about to go back to his room to rest when he heard Mama Liu's hurried footsteps. He thought another neighbor was visiting, so he stopped and sat down again. go back.

"Mother Liu, please slow down, why are you in such a hurry to walk on a hot day?"

"Master, something is wrong!" Mama Liu called Nancheng Mo the young master for a lifetime, so she never changed her words. Nan Cheng Mo said so many times, but she turned a deaf ear to it. Nan Cheng Mo had no choice but to give up. Hearing Mama Liu's anxious voice, he couldn't help standing up.

"Don't worry, just take a sip of tea and talk slowly," Nan Cheng Mo became more calm than before after all these things happened, and after losing his sight, the detachment became more obvious.

"Hey, it's Fang Yuan. I don't know what he committed, but he was sued in the hall and is now being tried in the yamen!" After Liu Ma calmed down, she remembered what the messenger boy had said just now, and she felt even more heartbroken.

"Fangyuan? He's not doing some small business in the city, so how could he be involved in a lawsuit? Could it be that you heard it wrong?" Nan Cheng was inexplicably flustered, and hurriedly covered his chest, took a few deep breaths before calming down again. So he asked again, "Mother Liu, who did you hear the news about, but is it true?"

"We live in this small village, and it's hard to know the facts in the city. This letter was told by a boy at the gate, but I think the boy who delivered the letter had a kind face, not like a liar, but poor How could such a good thing have been sued!" Mama Liu took out her handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and then she remembered again, "Master, that boy is still at the door, but you want to call him in?"

"Well, please come in quickly," Nan Chengmo fumbled and paced towards the door, his heart was extremely anxious. When there are footsteps, I feel at ease.

"Little man Shuangdian pays homage to the young master," Shuangdian hurriedly kowtowed to Nan Chengmo as soon as he saw Nan Chengmo, his small face was full of childishness, but his round face and big eyes looked very simple and honest.

It's just that Nancheng Mo couldn't see his appearance at all, he only heard his voice and thought he was a half-baby, so after returning the salute, he asked, "Who are you from Fangyuan, why did he ask you to send a message?"

After hearing the question, Shuangdian wanted to salute again, but Madam Liu stopped her, "Son, don't be so formal in our house, the young master asks you and you just answer."

"The young one's name is Shuangdian. He was originally living on the street. Uncle Fang didn't dislike the young one, so he let the young one work in the store to make a living. When the young one saw that Uncle Fang was taken away by the officials, he remembered that the young master was here. Hurry up and send a letter to the young master, young master, you should quickly find a way to save Mr. Fang!" Shuang Dian fell to her knees with a plop as she spoke, crying in her voice.

"Shuangdian, you get up first, do you know what happened to your uncle Fang, why was he suddenly taken away by the government?" road.

Shuang wiped away her tears, remembering what the official said to Fang Yuan in the store, her eyes turned red with anger, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "Those official officers who spout blood, Uncle Fang is not that kind of person at all!"

On that day, Fang Yuan was lucky enough to pick up a life from Yu Wenyu's sword, and the idea of ​​avenging Nan Cheng Mo had already been born in his heart, but he really didn't have money and silk at hand, although he had the intention, he was powerless.When he was in trouble, he suddenly thought of a cousin in a distant place. Although his family was not very rich, he could be called rich, so he went to join him.

Unexpectedly, he met an old man on the way, who fell ill by the side of the road. Fang Yuan was kind-hearted, so he kindly sent the old man home, and thus got a good relationship.The old man was originally a rich man of the generation, and had a son under his knees, but the wicked son had a romantic nature, so he left home without a word and went to the Jiangnan Firework Lane. After more than a year, the old man gave up the idea of ​​leaving his family property to this wicked son.

It was just that Fangyuan knew business well, and was honest and responsible. The old man actually moved to donate the inheritance to Fangyuan. Although he wanted it, Fangyuan refused to accept it.

But precisely, the problem lies in this shop.

The old man was old and passed away not long ago. He had no wives, concubines or other children, so the family property belonged to his only son as a matter of course.However, his son is very romantic and regards money as his life. He hurriedly checked his property as soon as he returned home from Jiangnan, but after a search, he found that a shop was missing. After the incident, Fang Yuan became more and more annoyed.

In order to snatch back the thriving shop, the man did not hesitate to bribe the county magistrate with a lot of money.It's a pity that the magistrate of this county also made a lot of money, so he judged the case indiscriminately, beat Fang Yuan into a trick, and handed over the shop donated by the old man to others. seal.

As a result, Fang Yuan worked hard, but returned to nothingness like a bubble.

And Fangyuan was severely tortured in the yamen, and he managed to save his life. After sending the letter to Shita Village at two o'clock, he was dragged directly outside the yamen by several yamen servants. In less than half a day, he died.

After listening to Shuangdian's words, Nan Cheng Mo became more and more dizzy in the pitch-black field of vision. He took a long time to calm down, so he hurriedly ordered Liu Ma to find a car to go to the city, and called Qin Mengyao and others to the room. In the middle, he took the money and went to Pulan City with Double Point to find a way to save Fangyuan.
