Chapter 41
Jiang Yun Zhu group returned home and immediately started cooking lunch. Old Fourth Fang and his wife were nimble. They snatched up every task. Jiang Yun Zhu and Mrs. Chen had it easier.
In the middle, that youth, Gu Qi Feng, came again. He smelled the aroma of dishes in the yard. Salivating, he said to Jiang Yun Zhu who was busy in the kitchen, "You could hire me. I don't want so much pay. Just give me two coins a month. No, just one silver coin."
Jiang Yun Zhu took the time to glance at him and refused without hesitation, "No."
With his age, it would be child labor. What’s more, his family expected him to study and take the imperial examination. Her hiring him was asking for trouble.
"Then I didn't need any pay, okay? You just need to take care of my three meals a day." Gu Qi Feng said.
"That won't work either." Jiang Yun Zhu said.
Gu Qi Feng understood that she was determined not to hire him. He looked around. His eyes rolled and suddenly noticed Jiang Lin at a glance. He immediately moved over.
He was about the same age as Jiang Lin. Shortly later, the two got together and chatted like friends.
When Jiang Lin was busy serving meals, he helped. When Jiang Lin and old Fourth Fang pushed the cart to deliver the meals, he followed.
Jiang Yun Zhu frowned and directed to Mrs. Chen, "How about, tell their family later and let them take him back."
"Yes." Mrs. Chen agreed.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't pay attention to him anymore. He was a teenager. After two days, he’ll find it boring and probably leave by himself.
Every day, cooking at Jiang’s house and delivering food was like fighting a war. Today, with old Fourth Fang and his wife, it was easier. Mrs. Chen felt more and more that Jiang Yun Zhu was justified in everything she did.
Jiang Yun Zhu wanted to be more relaxed. After the meal, she told Jiang Cheng, "Father, let's go to the county city in a while and buy you a cart. Also, I'm going to the county city to see if there’s a suitable cook. While we’re at it, buy some pig small intestines and pork."
It was for sausages.
The sausage needed to be dried for a few days before it could be eaten. This must be done in advance.
For Yang Sheng's order, out of the twenty liang, Jiang Family can earn seven-eight liang based on the normal price. Jiang Yun Zhu wasn't sure whether he and Shen Feng Ming helped them with Wei Kang Ping's matter. Still, she decided to give him a better deal.
In this way, they could earn four or five liang. More than enough to buy a cart.
Jiang Cheng's face was full of surprises. With a cart, he could do big business!
"Oh right, there is one more thing. Let Maternal Grandfather go to the city with us later. I want to see a doctor to check his eyes." Jiang Yun Zhu had always kept this matter in her mind. But her family had it difficult in the past, so she couldn't say it.
Now this matter should be put on the agenda.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen felt comforted and guilty at the same time. Why didn't they think of this? As one’s children, they were negligent!
In fact, they can't be blamed. They took old Mister Chen to see a doctor in the early years, but he hadn't recovered after taking the medicine.
Later, old Mister Chen didn't want to be treated. So they let it go.
Now that life was getting better and better, Mrs. Chen felt that it was really time to find a good doctor for old Mister Chen.
The three of them went to see old Mister Chen together and told him about the matter.
With how much they thought of him, old Mister Chen felt warm in his heart. However, he waved his hands. After so many years, he was used to it. He could live for a few more years, so why spend that money in vain!
Of course, Jiang Cheng trio didn't agree. They dragged old Mister Chen out together.
Let's go buy a cart first. It was easy to sort if one had money. A relatively large shop was chosen. Jiang Cheng quickly took a fancy to a cart. They happened to have their mule. Put it on and try it. It was just right.
"This cart then?" Jiang Cheng asked Jiang Yun Zhu inquiringly.
Jiang Yun Zhu had no problem and gave the shop owner four liang silver.
This time they had a mule cart. Jiang Cheng was driving the mule cart. Jiang Yun Zhu and old Mister Chen sat in the cart, happily heading south of the city.
They had just inquired with the shop owner, the best doctor in the county was Doctor Jin from Everlasting Longevity Hall. They heard that he came back from the capital and his medical skills were extraordinary.
Jiang Yun Zhu was looking forward to this visit to the doctor. Old Mister Chen listened and his heart rippled a little bit. Being able to see and suddenly not was a pain beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
If he could open his eyes and look at the world again, he felt that he could die without regret.
As expected of the best doctor in the county, it cost a silver liang to see the doctor. And there was a long queue for that.
"How about not checking. Let's go back." Old Mister Chen retreated.
"Father, we have come this far." Jiang Cheng looked at the people in front and behind and said to Jiang Yun Zhu, "I'll line up here. You take your Maternal Grandfather to the mule cart to rest for a while. When it's our turn, I'll call you."
He was currently in good spirits on happy occasions and spoke with wind.
In winter, the street was cold and windy. If one stood still here, one will be blown cold in a while. Jiang Cheng felt he was strong and wasn’t afraid. But Jiang Yun Zhu and old Mister Chen couldn't stand it.
Jiang Yun Zhu agreed and helped old Mister Chen back to the mule cart.
As soon as the two of them sat down in the mule cart, another carriage came over and stopped right beside them.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a beautiful lady. That beautiful woman looked about twenty, with high cloud bun, broad forehead and slender eyebrows. A delicate beauty. She looked like Celestial Gu She. In particular, when she was wearing a white robe and white flowers on her head. It seemed as if she was paying a filial piety for someone. She looked even more noble and awe-inspiring.
Because of the angle, Jiang Yun Zhu happened to be able to see her face. She couldn't help but take a second look. After all, everyone liked to look at good-looking people.
Ji San Niang also saw Jiang Yun Zhu. She froze for a moment before nodding to Jiang Yun Zhu, showing a faint smile.
Jiang Yun Zhu was a little surprised. She seemed unapproachable. Never thought she would be so kind to her.
She also smiled at her, like the sun in spring.
Ji San Niang looked away, took out a prescription and handed it to the driver, "Song Li, go grab the medicine."
"Yes, Madam." Song Li took the prescription and entered Everlasting Longevity Hall.
Then, the carriage curtain was lowered.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't take this matter to heart either. It was just a chance encounter.
Sitting in the cart, she looked around and noticed a wonton stall across the street. The wonton seller was a young married woman. Very pure and delicate. With her fair skin, she looked quite pretty.
Those eating wontons and passing by would look at her from time to time.
Jiang Yun Zhu was surprised. What was going on today? She met good-looking people.
As she watched the busy little woman and the steaming soup pot, she planned whether she should come to the county to develop next. The business of the mine was like that. It would be better if a restaurant could be built at the foot of the mountain. She had inquired that the land at the foot of the mountain was all owned by the imperial court. The people weren’t allowed to occupy it privately. So they could only do takeaway.
Coming to the county city... one, need to have capital. Second, was to think about what kind of business to do.
In fact, coming to the county city was beneficial. At least it was convenient to buy everything.
Jiang Yun Zhu’s mind wandered, when she saw a man at the corner of the wonton stand turning his head to look around as he patted his body with his hands. Soon, he put something into the bowl.
Then he patted the table and yelled, "Boss, your wontons aren’t clean!"
The little woman selling wontons was startled. She hurried over, looking into the bowl in front of him. She saw a finger-long hair in it and immediately responded softly, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll help you change to a new one.”
"Change? I didn't realize I had hair until I finished eating. Now I feel sick and want to vomit. After changing, could I still eat it?" the man shouted.
The little woman's face turned pale, "Then I won't charge you money."
"Not charging is the end of it? I already said I feel sick and want to vomit now. Who knows if there is something else in your wonton." After finishing speaking, he was truly hollering. "Everyone come and look! Something in the wonton.
This stall isn't clean. Have to look at your bowls. Make sure there are no cockroaches or bugs and not eat half of it and leave the other half in the bowl. How disgusting.
I was harmed by them. Now I feel uncomfortable all over. "
What he said was disgusting. What did ‘eat half and leave half’? All the customers at the stall looked into their own bowls. Although they didn't see anything, they couldn't eat anymore.
The little woman was so anxious that her face was sweating, she begged in a low voice, "Customer, it's my fault."
"It’s good that you know it's your fault. Compensate!"
"How much compensation?" There were tears in the little woman's eyes. Quite a charming sight.
The man originally only wanted to extort money. But when he saw this sight, he stretched out his hand to grab the little woman's arm, "The county master will decide how much to compensate. Come on, come with me to see the official."
Of course he didn't dare to go to the officials. He just wanted to take advantage of the little woman. If this little woman was weaker and more easy to bully, he will trick her to a place where no one was around. Hehe...
On the other side, Jiang Yun Zhu saw everything in her eyes. Irk rose in her heart. She was a food seller. She hated this kind of person the most.
"What are you doing!" she said.
Her sudden call startled Li Quan. When he raised his eyes, he saw a pretty girl opposite him. He immediately became ostentatious again.
"Something was in the wonton. I want her to go with me to a place to reason." Li Quan said and pulled the little woman's arm again.
Jiang Yun Zhu pulled the little woman to her side and said coldly, "A place to reason? I'll go to the county yamen with you. Do you dare to go? I just saw clearly from the opposite side. You took the hair out and put it in the bowl. Still slandering the stall owner?"
Li Quan’s face changed at once, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm talking nonsense?" Jiang Yun Zhu picked up the bowl of wontons and saw that the wontons inside were eaten clean. There was only half a bowl of soup left. A black hair-floating on it was very conspicuous.
Immediately she became more confident and declared to everyone, "Everyone, take a look. This got a hair floating on top of the soup. If it was really done by the stall owner, then this person should have seen it when he got this bowl of wontons. Why did he only discover it only now?
What’s more, I’m not related to the stall owner. There is no need to speak for her.
It’s true that I saw this person throwing his hair into the bowl and trying to extort. That’s why I spoke out.
Everyone has wives and daughters. A man bullying a woman like this, what is he planning? "
Getting exposed, Li Quan angrily glared at Jiang Yun Zhu, "You!"
It dawned on those customers. Some of them stood up and looked into the bowl. It was as Jiang Yun Zhu said. How could they not understand that Li Quan was deliberately extorting people.
"Yun Zhu." Jiang Cheng was queuing up at the side. Suddenly hearing the commotion from this side, he hurried over.
Seeing that things were taking a turn for the worse, Li Quan scurried into the alley next to him like a fish. While running, he threw down, "There's no place for reasoning. Just you wait, sooner or later, I'll let you see."
When Jiang Cheng came over and wanted to make a chase, there was no sign of Li Quan.
He could only come back bitterly and asked Jiang Yun Zhu with concern, "Are you all right?"
Jiang Yun Zhu shook her head. She was fine. It was just that this little woman... She looked at the little woman. She was too weak. She was easily bullied when setting up a stall to sell food.
"This stall belongs to my husband. He is sick." Mrs. Ruan was afraid and grateful at the same time. Choking up, she explained to Jiang Yun Zhu.
No wonder. Jiang Yun Zhu understood, "Then you should be more careful in the future." There will definitely be people like just now in the future. Speaking of which, the business environment at the mine was pretty good. There were no idlers like Li Quan.
Mrs. Ruan quickly nodded and endlessly thanked her.
Jiang Yun Zhu shook her head. She could only help her so much.
She and Jiang Cheng were about to leave, when a male voice asked, "What's going on?"
Jiang Yun Zhu took a look and recognized him. This person was the driver of the beautiful woman in the carriage. His name seemed to be Song Li. He was carrying a medicine bag in his hand. It seemed that he had grabbed medicine from Everlasting Longevity Hall.
At this time, there were quite a few people around. In a moment of indignant, those people rushed to tell Song Li what happened just now.
After Song Li listened, he turned around and left.
This made everyone a little confused. He was? Listening to the drama? Even if he was listening to the drama, he should give a reaction before leaving!
Jiang Yun Zhu was quite surprised.
Shortly later, Song Li came back again and he took out a piece of silver and handed it to Mrs. Ruan, "My Madam said, don't set up a stall for now. Let your husband's illness get better first."
That ingot of silver was worth five liang. It was so shiny that even the people around were envious.
Mrs. Ruan was even more unsettled, "How could this do? I can't have it."
"Madam gives it to you, you take it." Song Li handed the money to Mrs. Ruan.
Mrs. Ruan knew that she had met good people today. What’s more, two of them. First Jiang Yun Zhu, then this Madam. She wanted to thank this madam. Although people didn't necessarily want to hear it, it was the only thing she could do.
"Madam doesn't like being disturbed by others." Song Li directly rejected Mrs. Ruan.
Mrs. Ruan held the silver and was at a loss.
At this moment, Song Li turned to Jiang Yun Zhu again, "Madam told me to tell you, don't meddle in other people's business from now on. Or else someone will go to your house in the middle of the night. What are you going to do then!"
After saying this, he turned around and left. Shortly later, he got into the carriage and drove away.
Jiang Yun Zhu stood there, slowly frowning. Why did she feel that what he said just now had a deeper meaning?
"Yun Zhu, don't worry. I'm here!" Jiang Cheng thought Jiang Yun Zhu was afraid, so he comforted her.
"Yes." Jiang Yun Zhu nodded.
Everyone dispersed, Mrs. Ruan decided to listen to that madam's advice and stop setting up the stall after selling these wontons today. Least that Li Quan came again to make trouble again.
What she didn't know was that Li Quan was in an alley at this time. His legs had already been broken. He wouldn't be able to get out of bed for a few months.
Jiang Cheng went back to line up. After half an hour, it was finally their turn to see the doctor.
Doctor Jin carefully checked old Mister Chen's eyes and shook his head. The old man was getting old. If he came to him just after getting sick, he could cure him with 50% chance. It was delayed until now, there was basically no cure.
"I'll prescribe a few medicines for you. Go back, take them, and try. If they don't work, you don't need to waste your money." Looking at the clothes of Jiang Cheng and the others, he knew that their families weren’t rich. So he said this.
Old Mister Chen was disappointed within, but he didn't show it. He expected it a long time ago, didn't he?
Jiang Cheng was very disappointed.
Jiang Yun Zhu wasn’t willing to give up. She was thinking of finding a better doctor after saving money. She didn't say anything though.
Seeing the doctor took a lot of time. Jiang Yun Zhu decided not to go to the broker today. They bought pig small intestines and pork and went home first.
On the way, when she saw the mule pulling the cart, she suddenly remembered Song Li's words. A flash of light flashed in her mind. Wei Kang Ping! Wei Kang Ping hadn't been caught yet. Would he go to their house in the middle of the night to take revenge on them?
Although this suspicion was groundless, she couldn't help but ponder about this.
If he comes, what will they do?
When Jiang Yun Zhu arrived home, it happened that Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng were about to go out on horseback. She looked up and saw them. Shen Feng Ming was sitting on the horse, with sharp eyebrows and eyes. Although Yang Sheng had a smile on his face, he carried a deadly vibe.
She suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of security. With the two of them, even if a hundred Wei Kang Ping came, it would be fine!
Thinking of this, she opened her mouth and asked, "When will you be back?"
When she said this, both Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming were taken aback. In the past, she never cared about where they were going or when they would come back. What was up today?
Yang Sheng amusedly gazed at Shen Feng Ming.
Shen Feng Ming looked at Jiang Yun Zhu. There seemed to be something dripping from the bottom of his eyes, "Should be back at night."
He replied.
"En." Jiang Yun Zhu felt that she should add ‘come back soon’. But when she thought about who the other party was, she decided to forget it.
In the evening, when Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng came back, Mrs. Chen was decocting medicine for old Mister Chen. There was a smell of medicine in the yard.
It was already late at night. Shen Feng Ming suddenly asked Yang Sheng, "Did Celestial Doctor Wu appear in Hangzhou last year?"
Celestial Doctor Wu. His real name was Wu Xing Wei. Because his medical skills were too high and his whereabouts were elusive, everyone called him Celestial Doctor Wu.
Hearing this, Yang Sheng thought of old Mister Chen's eyes and responded, "Yes, but that old man doesn't even give the emperor face. What? You want to invite him over?"
If he remembered correctly, the old man was very annoyed with Qilin Guards. He felt that Qilin Guards hurt the Heavenly’s peace. Especially Shen Feng Ming, who killed so many people.
Shen Feng Ming wanted to invite him. Afraid, it won’t be possible.
Of course, there was no need to invite. Just just tie him up and bring over.
However, after coming here? They can't force him to check old Mister Chen.
That old man had a very strange temper.
Suddenly he grinned again, "That old man is a glutton and loves to play. Miss Jiang has a clever mind and delicious food. Maybe it'll work out."
At this time, he thought about Jiang Yun Zhu’s appearance of the goddess matter. He had been curious about it, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to ask.
Jiang Yun Zhu group returned home and immediately started cooking lunch. Old Fourth Fang and his wife were nimble. They snatched up every task. Jiang Yun Zhu and Mrs. Chen had it easier.
In the middle, that youth, Gu Qi Feng, came again. He smelled the aroma of dishes in the yard. Salivating, he said to Jiang Yun Zhu who was busy in the kitchen, "You could hire me. I don't want so much pay. Just give me two coins a month. No, just one silver coin."
Jiang Yun Zhu took the time to glance at him and refused without hesitation, "No."
With his age, it would be child labor. What’s more, his family expected him to study and take the imperial examination. Her hiring him was asking for trouble.
"Then I didn't need any pay, okay? You just need to take care of my three meals a day." Gu Qi Feng said.
"That won't work either." Jiang Yun Zhu said.
Gu Qi Feng understood that she was determined not to hire him. He looked around. His eyes rolled and suddenly noticed Jiang Lin at a glance. He immediately moved over.
He was about the same age as Jiang Lin. Shortly later, the two got together and chatted like friends.
When Jiang Lin was busy serving meals, he helped. When Jiang Lin and old Fourth Fang pushed the cart to deliver the meals, he followed.
Jiang Yun Zhu frowned and directed to Mrs. Chen, "How about, tell their family later and let them take him back."
"Yes." Mrs. Chen agreed.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't pay attention to him anymore. He was a teenager. After two days, he’ll find it boring and probably leave by himself.
Every day, cooking at Jiang’s house and delivering food was like fighting a war. Today, with old Fourth Fang and his wife, it was easier. Mrs. Chen felt more and more that Jiang Yun Zhu was justified in everything she did.
Jiang Yun Zhu wanted to be more relaxed. After the meal, she told Jiang Cheng, "Father, let's go to the county city in a while and buy you a cart. Also, I'm going to the county city to see if there’s a suitable cook. While we’re at it, buy some pig small intestines and pork."
It was for sausages.
The sausage needed to be dried for a few days before it could be eaten. This must be done in advance.
For Yang Sheng's order, out of the twenty liang, Jiang Family can earn seven-eight liang based on the normal price. Jiang Yun Zhu wasn't sure whether he and Shen Feng Ming helped them with Wei Kang Ping's matter. Still, she decided to give him a better deal.
In this way, they could earn four or five liang. More than enough to buy a cart.
Jiang Cheng's face was full of surprises. With a cart, he could do big business!
"Oh right, there is one more thing. Let Maternal Grandfather go to the city with us later. I want to see a doctor to check his eyes." Jiang Yun Zhu had always kept this matter in her mind. But her family had it difficult in the past, so she couldn't say it.

"How about not checking. Let's go back." Old Mister Chen retreated.
"Father, we have come this far." Jiang Cheng looked at the people in front and behind and said to Jiang Yun Zhu, "I'll line up here. You take your Maternal Grandfather to the mule cart to rest for a while. When it's our turn, I'll call you."
He was currently in good spirits on happy occasions and spoke with wind.
In winter, the street was cold and windy. If one stood still here, one will be blown cold in a while. Jiang Cheng felt he was strong and wasn’t afraid. But Jiang Yun Zhu and old Mister Chen couldn't stand it.
Jiang Yun Zhu agreed and helped old Mister Chen back to the mule cart.
As soon as the two of them sat down in the mule cart, another carriage came over and stopped right beside them.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a beautiful lady. That beautiful woman looked about twenty, with high cloud bun, broad forehead and slender eyebrows. A delicate beauty.

Ji San Niang also saw Jiang Yun Zhu. She froze for a moment before nodding to Jiang Yun Zhu, showing a faint smile.
Jiang Yun Zhu was a little surprised. She seemed unapproachable. Never thought she would be so kind to her.
She also smiled at her, like the sun in spring.
Ji San Niang looked away, took out a prescription and handed it to the driver, "Song Li, go grab the medicine."
"Yes, Madam." Song Li took the prescription and entered Everlasting Longevity Hall.
Then, the carriage curtain was lowered.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't take this matter to heart either. It was just a chance encounter.
Sitting in the cart, she looked around and noticed a wonton stall across the street. The wonton seller was a young married woman. Very pure and delicate. With her fair skin, she looked quite pretty.
Those eating wontons and passing by would look at her from time to time.
Jiang Yun Zhu was surprised. What was going on today? She met good-looking people.

Then he patted the table and yelled, "Boss, your wontons aren’t clean!"
The little woman selling wontons was startled. She hurried over, looking into the bowl in front of him. She saw a finger-long hair in it and immediately responded softly, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll help you change to a new one.”
"Change? I didn't realize I had hair until I finished eating. Now I feel sick and want to vomit. After changing, could I still eat it?" the man shouted.
The little woman's face turned pale, "Then I won't charge you money."
"Not charging is the end of it? I already said I feel sick and want to vomit now. Who knows if there is something else in your wonton." After finishing speaking, he was truly hollering. "Everyone come and look! Something in the wonton.
This stall isn't clean. Have to look at your bowls. Make sure there are no cockroaches or bugs and not eat half of it and leave the other half in the bowl. How disgusting.
I was harmed by them. Now I feel uncomfortable all over. "
What he said was disgusting. What did ‘eat half and leave half’? All the customers at the stall looked into their own bowls. Although they didn't see anything, they couldn't eat anymore.
The little woman was so anxious that her face was sweating, she begged in a low voice, "Customer, it's my fault."
"It’s good that you know it's your fault. Compensate!"
"How much compensation?" There were tears in the little woman's eyes. Quite a charming sight.
The man originally only wanted to extort money. But when he saw this sight, he stretched out his hand to grab the little woman's arm, "The county master will decide how much to compensate. Come on, come with me to see the official."
Of course he didn't dare to go to the officials. He just wanted to take advantage of the little woman. If this little woman was weaker and more easy to bully, he will trick her to a place where no one was around. Hehe...
On the other side, Jiang Yun Zhu saw everything in her eyes. Irk rose in her heart. She was a food seller. She hated this kind of person the most.
"What are you doing!" she said.
Her sudden call startled Li Quan. When he raised his eyes, he saw a pretty girl opposite him. He immediately became ostentatious again.
"Something was in the wonton. I want her to go with me to a place to reason." Li Quan said and pulled the little woman's arm again.
Jiang Yun Zhu pulled the little woman to her side and said coldly, "A place to reason? I'll go to the county yamen with you. Do you dare to go? I just saw clearly from the opposite side. You took the hair out and put it in the bowl. Still slandering the stall owner?"
Li Quan’s face changed at once, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm talking nonsense?" Jiang Yun Zhu picked up the bowl of wontons and saw that the wontons inside were eaten clean. There was only half a bowl of soup left. A black hair-floating on it was very conspicuous.
Immediately she became more confident and declared to everyone, "Everyone, take a look. This got a hair floating on top of the soup. If it was really done by the stall owner, then this person should have seen it when he got this bowl of wontons. Why did he only discover it only now?
What’s more, I’m not related to the stall owner. There is no need to speak for her.
It’s true that I saw this person throwing his hair into the bowl and trying to extort. That’s why I spoke out.
Everyone has wives and daughters. A man bullying a woman like this, what is he planning? "
Getting exposed, Li Quan angrily glared at Jiang Yun Zhu, "You!"
It dawned on those customers. Some of them stood up and looked into the bowl. It was as Jiang Yun Zhu said. How could they not understand that Li Quan was deliberately extorting people.
"Yun Zhu." Jiang Cheng was queuing up at the side. Suddenly hearing the commotion from this side, he hurried over.
Seeing that things were taking a turn for the worse, Li Quan scurried into the alley next to him like a fish. While running, he threw down, "There's no place for reasoning. Just you wait, sooner or later, I'll let you see."
When Jiang Cheng came over and wanted to make a chase, there was no sign of Li Quan.
He could only come back bitterly and asked Jiang Yun Zhu with concern, "Are you all right?"
Jiang Yun Zhu shook her head. She was fine. It was just that this little woman... She looked at the little woman. She was too weak. She was easily bullied when setting up a stall to sell food.
"This stall belongs to my husband. He is sick." Mrs. Ruan was afraid and grateful at the same time. Choking up, she explained to Jiang Yun Zhu.
No wonder. Jiang Yun Zhu understood, "Then you should be more careful in the future." There will definitely be people like just now in the future. Speaking of which, the business environment at the mine was pretty good. There were no idlers like Li Quan.
Mrs. Ruan quickly nodded and endlessly thanked her.
Jiang Yun Zhu shook her head. She could only help her so much.
She and Jiang Cheng were about to leave, when a male voice asked, "What's going on?"
Jiang Yun Zhu took a look and recognized him. This person was the driver of the beautiful woman in the carriage. His name seemed to be Song Li. He was carrying a medicine bag in his hand. It seemed that he had grabbed medicine from Everlasting Longevity Hall.
At this time, there were quite a few people around. In a moment of indignant, those people rushed to tell Song Li what happened just now.
After Song Li listened, he turned around and left.
This made everyone a little confused. He was? Listening to the drama? Even if he was listening to the drama, he should give a reaction before leaving!
Jiang Yun Zhu was quite surprised.
Shortly later, Song Li came back again and he took out a piece of silver and handed it to Mrs. Ruan, "My Madam said, don't set up a stall for now. Let your husband's illness get better first."
That ingot of silver was worth five liang. It was so shiny that even the people around were envious.
Mrs. Ruan was even more unsettled, "How could this do? I can't have it."
"Madam gives it to you, you take it." Song Li handed the money to Mrs. Ruan.
Mrs. Ruan knew that she had met good people today. What’s more, two of them. First Jiang Yun Zhu, then this Madam. She wanted to thank this madam. Although people didn't necessarily want to hear it, it was the only thing she could do.
"Madam doesn't like being disturbed by others." Song Li directly rejected Mrs. Ruan.
Mrs. Ruan held the silver and was at a loss.
At this moment, Song Li turned to Jiang Yun Zhu again, "Madam told me to tell you, don't meddle in other people's business from now on. Or else someone will go to your house in the middle of the night. What are you going to do then!"
After saying this, he turned around and left. Shortly later, he got into the carriage and drove away.
Jiang Yun Zhu stood there, slowly frowning. Why did she feel that what he said just now had a deeper meaning?
"Yun Zhu, don't worry. I'm here!" Jiang Cheng thought Jiang Yun Zhu was afraid, so he comforted her.
"Yes." Jiang Yun Zhu nodded.
Everyone dispersed, Mrs. Ruan decided to listen to that madam's advice and stop setting up the stall after selling these wontons today. Least that Li Quan came again to make trouble again.
What she didn't know was that Li Quan was in an alley at this time. His legs had already been broken. He wouldn't be able to get out of bed for a few months.
Jiang Cheng went back to line up. After half an hour, it was finally their turn to see the doctor.
Doctor Jin carefully checked old Mister Chen's eyes and shook his head. The old man was getting old. If he came to him just after getting sick, he could cure him with 50% chance. It was delayed until now, there was basically no cure.
"I'll prescribe a few medicines for you. Go back, take them, and try. If they don't work, you don't need to waste your money." Looking at the clothes of Jiang Cheng and the others, he knew that their families weren’t rich. So he said this.
Old Mister Chen was disappointed within, but he didn't show it. He expected it a long time ago, didn't he?
Jiang Cheng was very disappointed.
Jiang Yun Zhu wasn’t willing to give up. She was thinking of finding a better doctor after saving money. She didn't say anything though.
Seeing the doctor took a lot of time. Jiang Yun Zhu decided not to go to the broker today. They bought pig small intestines and pork and went home first.
On the way, when she saw the mule pulling the cart, she suddenly remembered Song Li's words. A flash of light flashed in her mind. Wei Kang Ping! Wei Kang Ping hadn't been caught yet. Would he go to their house in the middle of the night to take revenge on them?
Although this suspicion was groundless, she couldn't help but ponder about this.
If he comes, what will they do?
When Jiang Yun Zhu arrived home, it happened that Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng were about to go out on horseback. She looked up and saw them. Shen Feng Ming was sitting on the horse, with sharp eyebrows and eyes. Although Yang Sheng had a smile on his face, he carried a deadly vibe.
She suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of security. With the two of them, even if a hundred Wei Kang Ping came, it would be fine!
Thinking of this, she opened her mouth and asked, "When will you be back?"
When she said this, both Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming were taken aback. In the past, she never cared about where they were going or when they would come back. What was up today?
Yang Sheng amusedly gazed at Shen Feng Ming.
Shen Feng Ming looked at Jiang Yun Zhu. There seemed to be something dripping from the bottom of his eyes, "Should be back at night."
He replied.
"En." Jiang Yun Zhu felt that she should add ‘come back soon’. But when she thought about who the other party was, she decided to forget it.
In the evening, when Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng came back, Mrs. Chen was decocting medicine for old Mister Chen. There was a smell of medicine in the yard.
It was already late at night. Shen Feng Ming suddenly asked Yang Sheng, "Did Celestial Doctor Wu appear in Hangzhou last year?"
Celestial Doctor Wu. His real name was Wu Xing Wei. Because his medical skills were too high and his whereabouts were elusive, everyone called him Celestial Doctor Wu.
Hearing this, Yang Sheng thought of old Mister Chen's eyes and responded, "Yes, but that old man doesn't even give the emperor face. What? You want to invite him over?"
If he remembered correctly, the old man was very annoyed with Qilin Guards. He felt that Qilin Guards hurt the Heavenly’s peace. Especially Shen Feng Ming, who killed so many people.
Shen Feng Ming wanted to invite him. Afraid, it won’t be possible.
Of course, there was no need to invite. Just just tie him up and bring over.
However, after coming here? They can't force him to check old Mister Chen.
That old man had a very strange temper.
Suddenly he grinned again, "That old man is a glutton and loves to play. Miss Jiang has a clever mind and delicious food. Maybe it'll work out."
At this time, he thought about Jiang Yun Zhu’s appearance of the goddess matter. He had been curious about it, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to ask.
