The Zhou family's yard was brightly lit, and Cheng Jiaoniang's yard was full of people.
Because family members were not allowed to enter the house for medical treatment, and Mrs. Tong refused to listen to Mrs. Zhou's arrangement to rest, everyone was crowded here. More and more wives and servants of the Tong family came and went.
I don’t know if this is the Zhou family or the Tong family.
"Sister, please take a look." Mrs. Tong took a note from her son and handed it to the maid, "This is flying money. Ten thousand coins are worth one penny. It's a real amount of copper."
The maid took it and looked at it carefully.
Can a maid understand this? People around her were a little confused.
"That's right, it's free money to enter Fuzhou Academy." The maid smiled, shook the coupon, and put it away.
Mrs. Zhou, who was standing by, was a little frightened when she saw it, and she wanted to reach out and take it.
Ten thousand guan!
"How can I accept this?" she said tremblingly.
"Mrs. uncle, of course you can't accept it. It's not you who treats the disease." The maid smiled.
Being dumped by the laughing knife in public, Mrs. Zhou, who was already angry, scared and panicked, only felt more and more tight in her chest.
"Have you bought the medicine?" The maid ignored him and asked outside.
The children of the Tong family kept asking questions, and not long after, a little man came in holding a medicine bag.
"Coming, coming." he shouted.
The maid stretched out her hand to take it and carried it into the house.
The lights in the room were bright, illuminating his elongated figure, which soon became invisible behind the screen.
"What medicine did she buy?" one son asked in a low voice.
The servant looked a little strange.
"I bought psoralen and Eucommia ulmoides," he said.
Tongjia Langjun waited for a long time without saying anything.
"What else?" he asked.
"And buy walnuts..." the servant said, looking confused.
Walnut?
Tongjia Langjun stared.
"Also, garlic, wine..." the servant continued.
"Didn't you buy more meat?" one person couldn't help but asked.
Tongjia Langjun glared at him.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if she buys medicine or groceries." He waved his hand and said, "Anyway, there is nothing normal when you meet this lady. Let's just wait. Fortunately, we don't have to wait too long. Didn't she say she would know tomorrow?
.”
The maid of the Zhou family came over carrying a thick cloak and saw Liu Lang standing on the porch.
"Sir, you should go back and rest." A servant girl said, handing him a big cloak.
"Mom can't go back. There's a foreigner here. It's not convenient for my sister-in-law and sisters to come over. I'll stay here." Zhou Lang said, wrapping himself in a large cloak. "It's easy to protect her if anything happens."
He spoke and looked towards the main room.
"Sixth Young Master has a filial piety." The servants and women saluted and hurriedly went to deliver warm clothes to the female relatives.
The night wind whistled, the night was as dark as day, and everyone felt uneasy.
When it was daylight, Chen Shao walked quickly into the backyard.
Old Mrs. Chen was walking with a cane and was accompanied by two maids.
"Father, father." Chen Shao shouted.
Old Mrs. Chen stopped.
"The east wind is coming." Chen Shao said.
Old Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, then he stopped laughing and quickly stopped.
"Who is this? This Chinese New Year guy is really pitiful." He said after plastic surgery.
"Tong Neihan." Chen Shao whispered.
"You will know sooner or later that you will die if you eat gold and stone." Old Mrs. Chen shook his head, "It is a good fortune for him to catch up with Mrs. Cheng."
"Many people have died by eating gold and stones. Can they really be saved?" Chen Shao said with worry on his face.
"Yes." Mr. Chen said without hesitation, reaching out and patting his son, "Since the master allows his disciples to join the world, he does not do it to lose his reputation."
"Speaking of masters." Chen Shao whispered, "Father, there was new news yesterday."
"Oh?" Mr. Chen was immediately interested and threw the crutch in his hand to the maid, "Come on, let's go back and talk."
Although it had only been one day and one night, well-informed people already knew that there were more people milling about in front of Zhou's house.
The corner door opened and a carriage drove out, causing people around to look forward.
The carriage sped away.
"Is there any crying?"
"Male or female?"
As the carriage drove through the street, a burst of firecrackers was lit in the street, shaking almost half the street. The sound of firecrackers was interrupted by the sound of gongs and drums.
"What are you doing? Who is getting married?"
Passers-by in the distance were attracted by the excitement and asked to come over.
"It seems like a restaurant has opened." Someone said, pointing towards it.
On a crowded street, in front of a restaurant, a colorful booth over two feet high, twined with silk flowers, is particularly eye-catching.
"The Immortal Residence." The literate person squinted his eyes and read the colorful flags fluttering in the wind.
"Shenxianju, the name you call is really crazy."
Those who didn't know him said, while some who knew him expressed surprise.
"Isn't it outside the city? Is there a branch here?"
"We are not a branch here."
Dou Qi, dressed in bright clothes, stood at the door of the store, personally greeting people outside.
"Our Immortal Residence is here from today on!" He smiled, bowed his hands, "My fellow neighbors, please take care of me and show your support."
"Our passing fairy in Shenxianju is of high quality and low price, suitable for all ages." The shopkeeper also said with a smile.
"My passing god, I haven't eaten for several days, and I was just thinking about it. It turned out that I moved here, but it's much more convenient." Someone shouted, and they immediately entered the door.
Under the leadership of this person, several more regular customers came in, attracting people who were watching the excitement. In addition, with the specially invited knowledgeable guests and idlers to support the show, the two-story Shenxianju was quickly filled up.
.
"Congratulations, Master Qi." The shopkeeper smiled.
Dou Qi looked at the crowd of people behind him and at the people walking in on the street, smiling with satisfaction.
At this time, the Shenxian Residence outside the city was deserted, with only four or five people sitting in the huge hall.
"I said, what are you doing? Don't you want to discuss it for a few more days?" Fan Jianglin raised his eyebrows and said.
In front of him was a man with pimples on his face, rubbing his nose.
"I'm sorry, brother, a new store has opened and I'm in a hurry to use money. Let me tell you whether you want to buy it or not. If you don't buy it, there are still many people waiting to buy it." He said, patting the contract on the table.
Take a shot.
"Of course I'll buy it," Fan Jianglin said, looking at Xu Maoxiu.
Xu Maoxiu also nodded.
"Signed." He said.
"It's a pleasure." The pimpled man gave a thumbs up and smiled, pushing the contract over.
Xu Maoxiu picked it up, looked at it line by line, and suddenly frowned.
"Isn't it eight thousand? Why is it nine thousand again?" he asked.
"Brother, Shenxianju has opened in the city. Let's promote this place by the way. In the future, when people say it is an old store, your business will benefit a lot. The increase in money will be worth it." The pimpled man said with a smile.
"You fucking raise your price on the ground!" Xu Bangchui slapped the table and stood up with a glare and shouted.
The pimpled man was not afraid at all and instead smiled.
"Hey, are you aggrieved? Are you dissatisfied? Are you at a loss?" He said, reaching out and taking the contract, "It's okay, it's okay, it's easy to discuss. Just forget it if you don't buy it. It's not worth hurting your friendship. It's not worth it for the Chinese New Year."
Xu Bangchui glared angrily, these ruffians in the capital hate people more than those ruffians in the army in the northwest!
Xu Maoxiu glared at him, and Xu Bangchui made a sound and sat down aside.
"What's going on? Why don't you guys forget about it? I'm still busy. The new store has just opened and the business is very busy. I've been working with you for several days and I really can't afford it. How about you guys stop?
Go check out other stores?" the pimpled man said, picking at his nails.
Xu Maoxiu stretched out his hand.
"No need, sign it," he said.
A contract was written and signed, and the pimpled man shook his hand and handed it over with a smile.
"Then tomorrow, our government will hand over the book and hand over the money." He said.
Xu Maoxiu nodded, cupped his hands and walked out first.
"You're such a country fool. He'll just admit it when you call him." The pimpled man chuckled and called two followers to the door. "You spend so much money to buy such a shabby shop. I guess it won't be long before you run away with nothing to lose."
.”
"Brother, no matter what, it's written in black and white, so you can't blame us." The two followers laughed.
Xu Maoxiu and the other three went into the city to return the rented horses, all looking a little heavy.
"It's really useless." Fan Jianglin sighed, "I said eight thousand guan, but it turned out to be nine thousand guan. How can I explain it to my sister?"
"Let's borrow it." Xu Maoxiu said suddenly.
"With whom?" Fan Jianglin asked.
"Xiang Qi." Xu Maoxiu said.
"That stingy guy!" Xu Bangchui shouted.
"I'm begging him. Thinking about it, he's not the kind of person who doesn't respond to emergencies," Xu Maoxiu said.
"No, I have to go too." Fan Jianglin said, "You will be humiliated if you go to see him."
While they were arguing, Brother Jin jumped out of the house.
"Dalangjun, you are back." He shouted, "Sister Banqin has been waiting for you for a long time."
In the past, when they heard it, everyone was busy entering. But now, when they heard it, the three of them stopped in their tracks and could not even move forward.
"Mr. Sir." The maid came out and said with a smile, "My lady asked me to come..."
"Banqin, tell your sister that we can't handle it well." Fan Jianglin took a deep breath and said.
The maid was stunned for a moment.
"He won't sell it?" she asked.
"No." Xu Bangchui said hurriedly, "The grandson raised the price. My wife wanted it urgently, so we didn't dare to delay. We... spent more money."
"It's not my fault that I'm in a hurry, it's because we don't know how to do business," Xu Maoxiu said.
The maid smiled.
"What do I mean? I just want to spend more money. Madam already knew that." She said, "Besides, Madam said, the more money he wants, the better."
The more money you want, the better?
What's the point?
"My lady said that suffering a loss is a blessing." The maid smiled, took out the flying money and handed it over, "Ten thousand guan, is that enough?"
Ten thousand!
Xu Maoxiu and the other three stared wide-eyed.
"But this is money?" Xu Bangchui looked at the piece of paper curiously.
"This is flying money. You can't move 10,000 guan. This is Fuzhou Jinzouyuan. When the time comes, you and the people over there can just take this and deal with it. They understand." The maid smiled.
There are so many tricks in the capital, Xu Bangchui stopped asking, but looked at the flying money that Xu Maoxiu had already taken.
Ten thousand guan.
"My wife is really rich." He murmured.
The maidservant had already sat on the carriage and laughed again when she heard the words.
"My wife doesn't have money, it's just that someone is willing to give it when she needs it." She said, "My husband can take care of the rest, so you don't need to think too much."
Xu Maoxiu and others nodded and watched the carriage speed away.
When the maid walked into the courtyard, everyone in the courtyard was almost going crazy with the waiting.
"Didn't you say that we can take it away at dawn? Why is there no movement at all inside?" Mrs. Tong cried anxiously.
"Go in and take a look." Mrs. Zhou yelled as she could no longer stand after staying up all day and night.
"Wait a minute." The beautiful concubine next to Mrs. Tong rushed to stop her, "The maid said that no one is allowed to enter. Anyone who enters will be killed by the master!"
"Do you believe her?" Mrs. Zhou said anxiously.
"I believe it!" the concubine shouted, looking like she would fight anyone who dared to enter.
It was indeed a desperate effort, risking her own life. If the master survived this time, she would enjoy wealth forever. If the master died, she would be buried with him.
When they saw the maid come in, everyone gathered around her and asked noisily.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll go take a look." The maid said, leaving them alone and opening the door.
Everyone hurriedly looked inside, but only saw a screen, blocking their view.
The door was closed again.
There was silence in the yard.
After what seemed like a long time, the door was opened again.
Looking at the maid standing at the door with a slight smile, everyone present couldn't help but hold their breath, nervous and looking a little weird at the same time.
What will she say this time?
The first time, she wanted to talk about money, the second time, she wanted to buy golden needles, the third time, she wanted to buy medicine, the fourth time, she wanted to go out, and this was the fifth time, what nonsense was she going to say again?
"It turns out that he has been healed a long time ago. I was delayed when I went out. Please carry him away quickly." The maid smiled and stretched out her hand to open both doors.
The screen has been moved away, revealing the man lying on the door panel, just as he was when he was delivered.
The people outside the door suddenly didn't dare to move, and they all stared blankly.
"Master." Madam Tong reacted first, pushed away the beautiful concubine and maid who was supporting her, and stumbled inwards.
Everyone else rushed over immediately.
Mrs. Zhou was pushed around, and was helped by the servant woman to hide aside. But the beautiful concubine, on the other hand, stood still and didn't move, as if she was dumbfounded.
"Are you alive? Are you alive?"
"There's energy, there's energy!"
"The master has moved, the master has moved!"
"Sanlang, Sanlang, I am Awan, I am Awan, have you seen me?"
"Master, I want some water, I want some water, bring me some water! Oh my god, I want some water!"
The noisy sound resounded through the yard, and with this shouting, the beautiful concubine fell to the ground with a thud as if her strength had been drained, and she cried loudly on the ground. (To be continued)
