Chapter 192 Boss Fan sent the banknote
to the garden behind Zuixianju.
Fan Chengxu was lying on the recliner, his posture looked leisurely, but his expression was not as relaxed as before.
He was also an insider about the disappearance of the Seventh Prince, and it was his uncle who sent the news.
In the past few days, both the Fucheng Yamen and the anti-Japanese army were sending people to find the whereabouts of the seventh prince.
However, seven or eight days have passed and there is still no news at all.
The longer time passes, the lower the possibility of finding the seventh prince alive.
Fan Chengxu said while basking in the sun: "If there is no news about the Seventh Prince, many people in Taizhou Mansion will suffer." "Sir, don't worry, His Majesty the Seventh Prince has his own destiny, and he will definitely turn disaster into good luck
. Chengxiang." Shopkeeper Shen consoled him from the side.
Fan Chengxu said: "He couldn't die in the city. If he really died in Taizhou Prefecture, and not on the battlefield against the Japanese pirates, there would be too many people implicated. Under the imperial power, there are many bones." "The heart of a prince.
" Be kind, think about others, and think about the people." Shopkeeper Shen said.
"You are wrong. It's not that I have a good heart, but that if Taizhou Prefecture is in chaos, it will be difficult for me to do business. I am a businessman, so naturally I hope to make money and make profits everywhere." Fan Chengxu said.
At this time, a boy came to deliver a message, saying that Xu Heyou sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that it was sent by an old friend who knew Boss Fan.
"Bring it here."
Fan Chengxu stretched out his hand, and the waiter carefully handed the letter to Fan Chengxu's hand.
Fan Chengxu frowned after seeing the words on the cover of the letter.
Then he opened the letter and sat up straight.
"Sir, what's wrong? What's wrong with the content of the letter?" Shopkeeper Shen rarely saw his master behave in such a strange way, so he couldn't help but worry.
Fan Chengxu didn't say anything. He stared at the letter in his hand for a while, then lay back down.
"Old Shen, you go to the warehouse to get the eight hundred taels of silver notes, then go with the messenger and ask Xu Heyou what medicinal materials he wants, and then come back and report to me." Fan Chengxu said.
Hearing this, shopkeeper Shen looked in disbelief, eight hundred taels of silver? That’s too much!
Their business dealings with Xu Heyou only amount to a few taels of silver a month, and only dozens of taels a year. These 800 taels are what Xu Heyou can earn by doing business with them for ten or twenty years!
Even if they were in Zuixianju, they wouldn't be able to earn eight hundred taels of silver this year!
"Sir, are these eight hundred taels too much?" After much hesitation, Shopkeeper Shen finally expressed his doubts.
"Don't worry about it, just send it according to this number." Fan Chengxu said firmly.
"Okay, I'll do it right away!" Shopkeeper Shen didn't dare to ask any more questions when he saw his young master's expression.
Then he quickly followed the master's instructions, took out the banknotes, and went to Zhuangzi outside the city with the messenger sent by Xu Heyou.
When he went to Zuixianju to deliver the letter, Wei Ruo took Zhu Zongyu for a walk in the yard in front of the hut where he lived.
"Your body has gotten better, so if the weather outside is good, go out and walk around in the yard. Proper exercise will help your recovery." Wei Ruo said to Zhu Zongyu.
"Okay." Zhu Zongyu agreed. "Although it is cold today, the sunshine is good. If you are tired from walking, you can bask in the sun in the yard. As long as you don't move too much and don't hurt your wounds, it will be very good for your current body." Wei Ruo Said again.
"Well."
Then Wei Ruo moved the wicker chair in the courtyard and placed it in a suitable position. He sat down and left Zhu Zongyu standing: "If you can still walk, just walk a little longer. As long as you don't Just pull on the wound."
Then he motioned for Xiumei to sit next to him.
"Sir, the weather is so nice, why don't we make some tea and drink it." Xiumei suggested.
"Then let's make winter melon tea." Wei Ruodao.
"How to make winter melon tea?" Xiumei asked.
"Go to Zhuangzi's cellar and get some winter melon. Wash it and peel it, but don't remove the seeds. Cut it into small pieces and put it in a pot. Add some brown sugar and stir evenly. Let it sit for a quarter of an hour. At this time, the brown sugar will melt and the winter melon will melt. The water is precipitated, then add rock sugar and start to simmer over low heat until the soup is as sticky as honey and as dark as amber. Then filter out the winter melon seeds and add the brewed winter melon tea. Keep it in a jar, and when you want to drink it, just mix it with some warm water."
"It doesn't sound difficult, I'm going to try it now!" Xiumei got up excitedly and ran to the cellar.
"Slow down! Don't fall!" Wei Ruo warned from behind.
"I know!"
When Xiumei's voice reached Wei Ruo's ears, she had already disappeared.
Zhu Zongyu looked at the master and servant from the side, and was infected by the relaxed and joyful mood of the two of them.
I experienced life and death, suffered a lot, and was bruised all over my body, but I felt the peace and peace of mind that I had not seen for a long time.
In the past few days, I have felt warm and relaxed in this dilapidated and shabby Zhuangzi hut.
Although the young master named Xu was wary of him, he didn't hesitate at all when saving and helping him.
He knew that Mr. Xu's worries were reasonable. He was kind but not stupid. This was a wise choice.
"What are you thinking about?" Wei Ruo found that Zhu Zongyu was thinking about something.
"I'm thinking about what things in life can't be let go of," Zhu Zongyu replied.
"Why do you suddenly think of such a mysterious question?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Probably because he experienced life and death." Zhu Zongyu replied.
After Zhu Zongyu took a good look at Wei Ruo, he continued: "I have never had such an idea before, and I have never thought about whether what I am doing is right or wrong. Whether it is the people around me or the situation, it makes I only do this one thing and do this one thing well.”
"But when I was being chased and fell in the grass, and the last person around me left to save me, the pain in my body had already reached numbness. I could feel the blood flowing out of my body, and I could also feel that my life was flowing out of me. Passing by."
"At that time, the whole world was very quiet, and there was only the sound of gurgling water in my ears, and even this sound became weaker and weaker, becoming more and more inaudible. At that time, I found that there was actually a sea in my mind. Blank, there are no people or things that I can't let go of. There is only a feeling of unwillingness, but I don't know why I am unwilling to do so."
Wei Ruo replied: "I don't think so much, I just do what I want to do. It is enough to love the ones you love and protect the ones you want to protect. Mr. Zhu was born in a wealthy family. He may not know that there are many people in this world who have used up all their resources just to live and feed themselves and their families. Strength."
