Chapter 935 Yi Xiaotian: Are you pretending to be sick in front of me?
Chapter 935: Yi Xiaotian: Are you pretending to be sick in front of me?
Only they themselves know exactly what Yi Xiaotian told Ning'er, Ying'er and Li Fu this night.
Relying on the doorway that had been planned long ago, the two groups, one group of men and one group of women, headed straight to a certain direction outside the city. This night seemed peaceful, but in fact some foreshadowing had been laid.
——
The next day, Xu Beichen patted Huang Xiang's face, forcibly waking up this man who was not drunk but more drunk than crazy yesterday.
When he woke up, Huang Xiang was still a little confused, but when he saw that in addition to Xu Beichen's sad face, there was also a smiling Yi Xiaotian standing next to him, he recalled what happened yesterday.
What is a large-scale social death scene?
This was in front of Gu Shao, Xu Beichen, Yi Xiaotian and others - oh no, a correction, in fact yesterday when the emperor elephant was carried out of the Gu Mansion crying and making a fuss, people on the street happened to come
People go...
Such a humiliating scene appeared in front of so many people. The memories of yesterday flooded into Huang Xiang's mind. He was stunned for a moment when he stood up, and then he lay back on the bed again.
"Today...ahem...Zhantang...ahem, maybe I didn't cover myself with a quilt yesterday...I must have contracted the cold. How about you today?"
"Wind chill?"
"Then you have found the right person. I saw that you looked a little different this morning, so I went to the nearby drug store to grab some prescription medicine for you."
"This is the beginning of rheumatism. You feel cold at night, which is called Yin-cold."
Saying that, Yi Xiaotian took out a medicine packet from the package on the side with a half-smile and handed it to Xu Beichen.
Xu Beichen glanced angrily at Huang Xiang, who was obviously pretending to be sick on the bed, and had no intention of defending him.
"I see that your face is red and your ears are red. You must be feeling cold and have a fever——"
"Hey! It hurts, it hurts...don't...thigh! It hurts! It hurts!"
Taking advantage of the situation, Yi Xiaotian pinched the thigh of Huang Xiang and twisted a piece of meat three times to the left and three times to the right. Let alone Huang Xiang, even the most powerful tough guy would still suffer from this move.
However, Yi Xiaotian said without any concealment about the emperor's elephant crying out in pain:
"Look, I feel pain all over my body but no sweat. This is a symptom of rheumatism."
"Wind and dampness, the usual treatment for wind and cold is definitely ineffective. I've prepared ephedra decoction for you, and supplemented it with Atractylodes to remove dampness -"
While Huang Xiang was talking, there was no chance to interrupt. Xu Beichen had already walked in with a medicinal soup.
He grabbed the emperor's elephant without showing any respect at all. Being a servant at his level was the end of it.
"Drink it!"
"Well...you guys...wait...well..."
Gudonggudong, if it were a boiling hot soup, Huang Xiang's throat might have been burnt by now - but the soup he drank was just right for the cold and hot effects.
"Pfft! No! Where did this decoction come from? Beichen, Zhantang, you..."
"Hahahahaha——"
Just like drinking from a donkey, Xu Beichen grabbed the emperor's elephant by the collar and drank the soup directly to him.
Almost suffocating to death, Huang Xiang finally struggled to lift off the quilt and hurriedly slipped out of bed.
"You lied to me!"
"Who taught you to be so lazy, sir? Wasn't it embarrassing yesterday? Don't forget that you still have important things to do today - don't you want to make that boy Chen Fuan pay some price?"
The name Chen Fuan is like a switch in Huang Xiang's mind.
After hearing what Xu Beichen said, Huang Xiang finally calmed down.
He sat on the bed blankly for a while, and finally stood up slowly:
"Zhantang, let's... let's go."
Of course, Yi Xiaotian had already prepared it. When Huang Xiang said this, the two of them straightened their clothes and walked out the door.
——
Today's task can even be said to be the most important day before the calligraphy exhibition begins.
The reason lies entirely with Chen Fuan.
Why did Yi Xiaotian go out of his way to redesign so many links to make this character exhibition as bloated as possible?
The reason is also here.
"Chen Fuan is engaged in private salt business. He came to Wuhui area from Xuzhou in the early years of Jian'an. He first cooperated with Zhang family in Wu County and contracted part of Zhang family's industry in Kuaiji area. Until now,
He has already taken all the salt merchants in the Jiangji area under his control, and there are faint signs of independence from the Zhang family."
"However, it seems that the Zhang family does not want Chen Fuan and the Salt Merchant Chamber of Commerce under him, who have invested a lot of resources, to escape from their control. Recently, Chen Fuan's development has also been under pressure from various aspects of the Zhang family - therefore, Chen Fuan has had the most exchanges recently.
The party should be..."
Yi Xiaotian held a silk book in his hand and read it while walking, which surprised the emperor elephant beside him.
He didn't even know much about his "son-in-law"'s past. On the contrary, Yi Xiaotian, who came to Kuaiji later, actually knew Chen Fuan well.
"Gu family, haha... As expected, most of the Lu family's main assets are in a frozen state. It's not that they don't want to use them, but because the Lu family is still not full of energy and the clan really can't spare the manpower."
"Zhu's focus was mostly on military supplies and weapons."
"Besides the Zhang family, the only aristocratic family that has a say in the salt industry is the Gu family."
"I heard that Mr. Gu also heavily supported Chen Fuan before, but obviously... he stopped laughing soon."
Yi Xiaotian said that if a person cannot laugh, then he will definitely not be able to laugh.
After Gu's foreshadowing was laid, all that was left was how to hook this really big fish.
"Zhantang...you...where did you get this information?"
"It's just my own skills. Now I can only use them on Chen Fuan, a person with no real status. Don't worry about what moral turpitude I have done - you just need to know that the next step will be for you to let go of the past.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had my heart knotted up. If you have anything you want to say to Chen Fuan, or if you have anything you want to say to your daughter, just think about it and I won’t bother you.”
The door Yi Xiaotian was talking about was naturally Ning'er, Ying'er and the others, but now they had left Kuaiji and went to the next place arranged by Yi Xiaotian to deal with key matters, so he said it was limited to this time.
Hearing what Yi Xiaotian said, Huang Xiang fell silent again.
What Yi Xiaotian said was true - the reason why he had been decadent for so long, apart from the death of his wife, was that Chen Fuan was cooperating with his daughter to add insult to injury.
After finally cheering up, it was difficult for him to regain his former self-confidence. If he could not face Chen Fuan's existence, Huang Xiang might just be submissive and follow other people's instructions in his life.
Before Yi Xiaotian, he didn't even dare to think about Chen Fuan. Xu Beichen actually cheered for Huang Xiang.
However, these were all rejected by Huang Xiang.
Today... is actually a turning point for whether the Emperor Elephant can be reborn.
Although he didn't say anything, Huang Xiang clenched his fists halfway.
