Chapter 14 Happiness is always sought in difficulties
Mrs. Fang really feels that this is a bit ridiculous.
She never knew that one person could spend so much money.
Mrs. Fang is not a stingy person. She has a good family and has been short of money since she was a child. When she married into the Fang family, she even had money in the treasury. Even if Mrs. Fang and Mr. Fang met with misfortune one after another, the difficulties at home were only in mood and business.
Although I worked hard, I was never short of money.
She has never considered money to be a big deal, nor does she care about the luxury of raising her children.
But she was still shocked by Miss Jun's luxury.
The previous expenditure in the capital was to open a store, so it doesn't matter how much the investment is. As for business, Mrs. Fang Da is not a person who doesn't understand business. The same is true for the subsequent vaccination. Even if the doctor is kind-hearted to help the world and save the people, not to mention that all these will be rewarded. The court
The rewards, the reputation of Jiulingtang, the small profits but quick turnover of the acne vaccine, the high-priced medicine that everyone is vying for.
Jiulingtang has now earned back all that it spent previously.
Mrs. Fang Da read the account books and found that the money Deshengchang paid had been repaid, and in addition, a large amount of money had been deposited.
Of course, now all the money Jiulingtang saved has been spent, and Deshengchang has once again flowed a large amount of money to Beidi.
Especially in the recent period, the amount was so large that Mrs. Fang was stunned.
"You can buy this whole city," she said. "What did she do?"
"Just buying random things." Fang Chengyu said with a smile, "Mom, you know that prices are high in Northland nowadays. Many things are unavailable. If you want to use them in a hurry, you have to spend money."
"The Northland is like that, what is she still doing there?" Mrs. Fang thought of another big thing.
"There is always something to do." Fang Chengyu said with a smile, "Mom, don't worry."
How can I not be worried! This girl is really not stable for a day. She spends more money every time. How long will this go on? It won't be like this for the rest of her life, right? The Fang family can't stand this even if it's a mountain of gold and silver.
Mrs. Fang thought of what she blurted out when she was treating Fang Chengyu.
"If Chengyu can really save his life, I am willing to give away everything Chengyu deserves."
And she didn't refuse, with a smile on her face.
"Okay." She said.
Mrs. Fang smiled bitterly. Now it seemed that she was not joking when she cured Chengyu, and it was no joke when she took away the entire Fang family.
"I just can't understand why a little girl like her has to spend so much money." She sighed and said, "What on earth is she going to do?"
"People live to do things." Fang Chengyu said with a serious expression, "Otherwise, life will be in vain. Just as money is earned, it must be spent, otherwise it will be in vain. I think it is easiest to spend money to do things.
There’s no need to think so clearly.”
Mrs. Fang sneered.
"What's the use of understanding it? You will do whatever she asks." She said.
Fang Chengyu reached out and took Mrs. Fang's arm.
"Mom, I have been sick for so many years and suffered so much, so I want to understand now." He said sincerely and seriously, "The life I want to live is to be happy. I am happy when she is happy, and my mother, grandmother, and sisters are also happy.
Money can buy happiness, isn’t it very simple and cost-effective?”
In the past, even if they had money, they couldn't buy happiness. If compared like this, it is really simple and cost-effective. Mrs. Fang smiled bitterly and looked at her son's face.
"I wish you were happy," she said.
"Of course I'm really happy." Fang Chengyu said with a smile, "Who wouldn't be happy to meet someone like Jiu Ling?"
Mrs. Fang glared at him.
"It's a shame you didn't get married, otherwise no mother-in-law would like this daughter-in-law like you," she said.
Fang Chengyu laughed.
"Mother, you underestimate Jiuling too much." He said, "If she is willing, she can please anyone."
If she doesn't want to, she can make you angry to death with just three or two sentences, like Mrs. Ning.
Mrs. Fang pursed her lips and smiled, patted Fang Chengyu on the shoulder and left.
Fang Chengyu sat in front of the desk again and opened the latest letter he received.
"All the money was converted into gold and silver cash. For today's Beidi, only cash is the most useful, so she must have used it on the spot anytime and anywhere. She spent more money on the road than in Zhangqingshan.
, indicating that the number of people and horses is increasing, and the consumption continues." He said to himself, "What kind of escort can do this? Is it just that woman who is escorting?"
……………………………………………
A gust of wind blew the snow away. A group of people in the wilderness suddenly staggered, and two or three children fell to the ground, crying.
Their clothes were in rags and they had their families with them. They were obviously people who had fled. They were already at the point where they would collapse when the wind blew, which showed how miserable their situation was.
What was even worse was the hunger and cold. The ground was shaking faintly, and the sound of horse hooves was heard. This sound made the fleeing people suddenly panic.
"Get up, get up."
"What is it? Did you go through the army?"
"Is the golden man coming?"
Panicked comments rang out among the crowd, making these people even more panicked. They wanted to escape but had nowhere to go. They stood there and soon a large group of people appeared in their sight.
In the dim sunlight, the soldiers of Zhou Dynasty can easily be distinguished by their bright armor, fluttering flags and attire.
Not a golden man.
If it were a Jin man, they would have stood and waited for death, but when they saw that it was Zhou Bing, the people still did not relax with joy and looked at the approaching men and horses with vigilance.
There are a lot of soldiers passing by these days. It is said that they are officers and soldiers who have been ordered to retreat south. These soldiers not only ignore the people who are fleeing, but sometimes they rob them.
The group of people saw them and stopped at the leader's signal.
"Where are you from? Where are you going?" the leader of the men shouted loudly.
The fleeing crowd retreated in a commotion.
"Don't ask, they look scared."
came a female voice.
At the same time, a black horse drove out, and on it was a woman. The woman's face was covered by a cloth, which looked very strange.
The people who fled looked a little surprised.
Can women be in the military?
Before he was even surprised, he saw the woman waving.
"Come and get some hot porridge."
Hot porridge?
The fleeing people felt that they were talking in their sleep, and then they saw a car driving out from behind the group of people, and several women jumped out of the car.
Although they were women, they also wore cotton armor and had their hair tied into hats. They were also dressed like officers and soldiers.
"Come on, two pots of hot porridge, come and eat quickly." They greeted in a noisy manner.
Two large pots were placed on the ground in the cold wind, steaming out, and the aroma spread instantly.
Not a dream!
The aroma immediately caused the fleeing crowd to lose all their sense and rush forward.
"Don't grab it, there's enough for you," the women shouted, "line up."
There was a commotion, and under the shock of the officers and soldiers here, the refugees lined up and selected two people to give porridge.
After doing all this, the group of people moved forward again without saying any unnecessary words. It seemed that they stopped just to put down the two pots of hot porridge.
And there was no waiting, even pots and pans were given away.
Although a bowl of hot porridge may not seem like much, it is enough to support these people in reaching the next town safely in this winter.
"Which officers and soldiers are these benefactors from? I have never seen such officers and soldiers." Several refugees murmured, holding their rice bowls and looking at the people walking away on the road.
No officers or soldiers had ever given porridge to people while on the road, and they were really on the road. During the process of giving porridge, except for the women, everyone else on their horses stood still and solemn, and their body shape did not change at all.
.
Stop when ordered and act when ordered, without any randomness.
This is completely different from the soldiers they have seen these days, or it may be because of the retreat. Whether they are defeated or retreat under orders, retreat always makes these officers and soldiers feel a sense of inexplicable panic.
Their expressions were uneasy, and their formation was chaotic.
Such officers and soldiers cannot bring a sense of security to the people at all, but instead add to the panic.
"There are words on that flag." An old man raised his head tremblingly, his gray beard stained with rice porridge, pointed at the big flag still fluttering in the wind in the distance, and read word by word, "Qingshan Army."
