Chapter 153

But who would have thought that the corrupt official had already settled the case hastily, and was eating and drinking in the restaurant, so how could he pay attention to the voices of these grassroots crying for aggrievedness.Seeing that no one responded from the yamen, Nan Cheng went back to Xiang Yunxuan where Fang Yuan lived.

Originally, Xiangyun Pavilion was very quiet, and it was because of the tranquil atmosphere that Nan Chengmo was able to think through when he lived here, but now there was a commotion at the door.

Nan Cheng Mo jumped off the bullock cart cautiously, and heard Shuang Dian whispering in his ears: "This is the government's plan to drive Uncle Fang out of the house and seal up this house!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard a tyrannical voice piercing my eardrums, "You short-sighted, pack your bags and get out, I don't think your boss will live long, you better get out if you are sensible! Talking about it here."

It was Zhang Feng, the steward of Fangyuan's mansion, who was guarding the door. He took Fangyuan home with great difficulty. As soon as the doctor entered the door, he heard the sound of officials chasing people away. Thinking of Fangyuan who is lying on the couch now , and the government coming here at this moment is tantamount to adding insult to injury, Zhang Feng can't wait to tear these unscrupulous people into pieces, but he still has to force a smile to apologize to those officials who are full of flesh.

The officer was frowning impatiently, when he suddenly saw a young boy walking in front of him, and quietly stuffed a piece of silver into his hand, his face changed slightly, he raised his eyebrows and gave the young boy a sideways look, "Your boy is quite sensible."

Seeing that there was a way, Shuangdian nodded and flattered the officials, then pointed to Nancheng Mo who was standing behind him and said, "Our young master wants to go in and have a look, and I hope the officials will be more accommodating..."

The officer glanced back and saw that the man was only wearing a half-new commoner. He was suspicious for a while, but then weighed the money in his hand, so he said harshly: "Let your young master come out quickly, Don't delay Lao Tzu's business, damn it, I didn't have a safe life early this morning, and I still want to hurry up and go drink! But this house looks really good, it's a pity that it's closed. "

With a quick thank you, Nan Cheng Mo entered the door with the support of Shuangdian. When Zhang Feng saw Nan Cheng Mo, his eyes turned red immediately, "Master Nan, you are here, our master, he, alas! "

The officer outside the door obviously let go, and now he has sat down in the shade next to him, Zhang Feng no longer insisted, and led Nan Cheng Mo into the door, all the way to the room where Fang Yuan was. Wanmai was writing the prescription. Seeing Steward Zhang enter the door, he stood up respectfully and gave the prescription to Zhang Feng, "Mr. Fang's skin was severely injured, but fortunately he didn't hurt his internal organs. Now his life is safe. It’s just that it will take some time to recover, here are some herbal medicines that can help recovery, and the effect will be better when combined with some traumatic medicine.”

Zhang Feng thanked the doctor, took out a few pieces of broken silver from his purse, handed it to the doctor, watched the doctor go out, and then heaved a long sigh.

"Master Nan, now Master Fang is beaten up like this, but the government is still determined to drive Master Fang to death, even this house will be sealed. Isn't this going to cut off Master Fang's way of life? But what should I do?" Zhang Feng held the prescription tightly in his hand, there was not even a servant who was waiting in the room, seeing his master's disaster, he packed his bags and money early, and went to their own ways.

Seeing that Zhang Feng was in a difficult situation, Nan Cheng couldn't help but feel sorry for him. All of this was caused by him. If Fang Yuan hadn't insisted on avenging himself, how could he have fallen into the way of a villain and ended up in today's end, so he said firmly, "No matter what. How about it, Fang Yuan is my brother, and his affairs are closely related to me from now on. I don’t think this house can stay any longer. If Housekeeper Zhang doesn’t dislike it, please stay in the humble house together. The rest of the matter will wait for Brother Fang to recover in the future. Let’s make a decision again, what will Steward Zhang think?”

Xiang Yunxuan was closed, Zhang Feng was most worried about Fang Yuan's return, now seeing Nan Cheng Mo open his mouth, he was overjoyed, he hurriedly agreed, but when he looked back and saw Fang Yuan's appearance, he hesitated, "Master Nan , look at Master Fang's current appearance, I'm really worried about him..."

The injuries on Fangyuan's body were no different from those suffered by Qin Mengyao back then. Although Nan Chengmo couldn't see, he knew the general situation from Zhang Feng's tone, so he couldn't help but sighed, "There are still officials waiting outside. Post the seal, if Fang Yuan cannot be rescued at this time, he can only be sealed in this courtyard, no food and no medical treatment is equivalent to waiting for death! It is better to move him to a nearby inn first, and wait for his body to recover , and return to Shita Village together.”

At this point, Zhang Feng had no choice but to bow his head and compromise.

When he went out, the official had already got impatient with waiting, and stood at the door with his hips akimbo in full swing. After getting Nan Cheng Mo's advice, he had already prepared a piece of silver, and quietly stuffed it into the official's hand before he could open his mouth.

The officer turned a blind eye and let Nan Cheng Mo and others carry Fang Yuan to the bullock cart parked at the door. Li Dazhuang, who was guarding the cart, had been waiting anxiously for fear that something would happen to Nan Cheng Mo in the house. What an accident, but when he saw Fang Yuan's appearance, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He saw everything that Fang Yuan did for Nan Cheng Mo in the Nan's house, but he never expected that the man who smiled all day would be beaten up. It's unbelievable what it looks like.

I found an inn nearby, and the innkeeper saw that a dying patient was staying here, and he was very unhappy from the bottom of his heart. Seeing this, Nan Cheng Mo had no choice but to reluctantly give up two taels of silver, and then led by Xiao Er to the poorly decorated room. in the house.

When he heard the news and left home, Nan Chengmo took almost all the money he had accumulated at home. The hundred taels of silver he dug out from the sandalwood box and Qin Mengyao's income from selling essential oils in the city added up to only a little more than a hundred taels , and excluding the expenses for up and down management, plus the cost of buying medicine and accommodation, the silver in Nancheng Mo's purse is decreasing day by day.

Fortunately, after a few days of recuperation, Fang Yuan finally came back to his senses, but after being treated like that, his energy was obviously not as good as before, and he just closed his eyes blindly to escape.

Seeing that Fangyuan's injury was getting better, Zhang Feng also noticed Nan Chengmo's embarrassment, so after doing some calculations, the four of them, including Shuangdian, carefully escorted Fangyuan and returned to Shita Village all the way.

At this time, Qin Mengyao, Liu Ma and the others had already waited anxiously, fearing that something might happen to Fang Yuan, but fortunately, even if he lost the house and property, at least he was still safe, so he was relieved.

When the people in the courtyard got the news of Li Dazhuang, they stayed at the entrance of the village early in the morning, waiting for Nancheng Mo to appear. It was only at the end of the day that they saw a carriage slowly walking towards the entrance of the village, and there was a young servant in front of him. He rushed over, and was out of breath when he ran in front of Qin Mengyao.

"Young Madam, Young Master and Uncle Fang will be here soon. The Young Master said that Uncle Fang was injured and needs to prepare a separate room with new bedding." Everyone wanted to sever contact with Fangyuan, but he refused to leave for life and death, insisting on staying by Fangyuan's side, and Nancheng Moxi took him home with him because of his cleverness. The originally empty courtyard no longer looked so empty.

Qin Mengyao took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into Shuangdian's hands, "Seeing that you are sweating profusely from running, wipe off your sweat quickly, and go home with Liu Ma to have a rest and drink some mung bean soup to relieve the heat. I will go to Mr. Fang's room early It's ready, don't worry!"

"Madam is really thoughtful. The carriage will be here in a while. Shuangdian has to lift Mr. Fang out of the carriage. Just wait here." Shuangdian held a white handkerchief in his hand, with embarrassment on his face, and hurriedly removed the handkerchief. Zizhong stuffed it back into Qin Mengyao's hands, his hot and flushed face turned into a big cherry at this moment.

As the carriage approached, Qin Mengyao didn't insist any longer. Just as he put away the handkerchief, he heard the sound of the carriage approaching, and immediately lifted his foot to get out of the door.

Zhang Feng jumped out of the carriage first, and after carefully guiding Nancheng Mo to get off, he called to Shuangdian to lift Fangyuan off the carriage, and led by Qin Mengyao through the small courtyard, and went straight to the main house.

"Mrs. Nan, I'm afraid this is inappropriate?" Zhang Feng had been to this small courtyard earlier, so he naturally knew the layout of the courtyard, and the direction Qin Mengyao led was exactly what she and Nan Chengmo and his wife originally planned. The master bedroom of the residence was now specially vacated to live with Fangyuan. Zhang Feng couldn't help but stop, and looked at Qin Mengyao suspiciously.

"What's wrong with this? This room has the best lighting and is spacious enough. You can sit in the room and chat with Mr. Fang to relieve boredom. It's just right!" Qin Mengyao opened the door without any explanation, firmly Zhang Feng had no choice but to put Fang Yuan gently on the newly furnished big bed.

Obviously, everything on the bed is brand new, especially the bedding is made of new cotton, which is extremely soft, and a layer of linen sheets are laid on top of it, so you don’t feel hot when lying on it in the scorching summer, Zhang Feng Feeling glanced at Qin Mengyao, Zhang Feng didn't even dare to think that the master's family could receive such treatment.

He is well aware of the bad roots of businessmen, that everything is based on profit, just like the few bosses who called Fang Yuan at the wine table that day, seeing Fang Yuan's downfall, they refused to even show their faces once.Only Nancheng Mo stayed by Fangyuan's side without any complaints from the beginning to the end, not even a word of dissatisfaction.

The truth is seen in adversity, and only at this time can one see the authenticity of a person.Thinking of this, Zhang Feng silently turned his back.

Nan Chengmo said nothing about the matter of giving up the master bedroom, but he respected Qin Mengyao more and more, and he had the right to turn a blind eye to many unaccustomed behaviors.

Since Fangyuan moved into the courtyard, the dull atmosphere in the courtyard has obviously improved. Mrs. Nan, who has always been insane, sees that Fangyuan has been bedridden for many days, and her spirit seems to have improved a lot. Childhood naughty deeds.After listening to it for a long time, Nan Cheng Mo's heart was gradually relieved. Although he was still wary of Mrs. Nan, after all, mother and child were together. The family relationship of more than ten years, even if there were various faults during the period, it will eventually come to an end. Slowly faded by the world.

After more than half a month, Qin Mengyao felt more and more powerless.

Nan Chengmo took away all the money saved in the family, and almost used up all the savings in the city to eat, live and seek medical treatment, and there were a few more people in the family, who needed money for everything, but Qin Mengyao rummaged through the bottom of the box , after all the calculations, it would not last for two months, so it became more and more difficult.

Although the potted plant has a general shape, but the tree body has not grown well in only half a year, so naturally it cannot be used as an income for the family.The mushroom farming that Nancheng Mo and Li Dazhuang started in the village had just taken shape, but it was completely put aside because of the family relocation. Now it has already become someone else's house, not to mention that even if there is a little stock, it cannot expand the market. For retail, maybe the family can only drink northwest wind.

When she was worried, Mama Liu walked in with a sad face, and when she saw Qin Mengyao, she poured out bitter water, "Mengyao, now that there are so many mouths to eat at home, the original rice noodles are long gone, and the rice tank is about to be empty. , do you want to send someone to the city to buy some?"

I was really afraid of what would happen, Qin Mengyao was worrying about this matter, and the matter came to him by himself, so he forced a smile and said: "Coincidentally, I am going to the city, and I will ask Uncle Li to drive the ox cart tomorrow." Go to the city for a trip, so I can buy some food and come back. This suddenly adds so many mouths, these days cooking and boiling water are really hard for Mama Liu!"

"Hey, what are you talking about, the family is so lively, I think the young master is also happy, and it's worth being tired. Besides, you work much harder than us. You have to take care of these seedlings every day, watering and fertilizing, "Looking at Qin Mengyao's thin body, Mama Liu felt very distressed. In addition, she and Nan Chengmo have been married for nearly half a year, but there is no news from her stomach. She also wants to make up for the two of them deliberately. What a coincidence It's hard for a woman to cook without rice, so she can only watch and worry.

Watching Mama Liu go out, Qin Mengyao became more and more hopeless. She had to go to the city for a trip, but she only had 20 taels of silver on hand, and she still had to feed and clothe a family of nearly ten people. However, apart from planting flowers and occasionally drawing a few pictures, she doesn't have any outstanding skills at all. How could she let the money come into her hands out of thin air.

In this way, at night, when he opened the box to find the clothes to wear when he went to the city the next day, Qin Mengyao suddenly saw a few ceramic bottles that he treasured in the box. Essential oils, there are three bottles of April Xue's essential oil alone, and the rest, such as cloves, have also saved half a bottle.

The previous Sophora japonica essential oil made me a small profit. If I can successfully sell these bottles of essential oil this time, I think I will gain a lot. After making up my mind, Qin Mengyao's heart that had been hanging for a day finally settled down .

Since Li Dazhuang added an ox cart, people from the village came to borrow cattle in an endless stream during the busy farming season. Fortunately, yesterday Qin Mengyao had agreed with Li Dazhuang about going to the city to buy them, so the old ox could be considered leisure, and it was early in the morning. Mooing outside the door, Qin Mengyao hurriedly finished watering the seedlings, and ran out with a few taels of silver and five bottles of essential oil.
