In the park behind Zuixianju.
Fan Chengxu was lying on the recliner, looking relaxed, but his expression was not as relaxed as before.
He was also the insider about the disappearance of the seventh prince, and his uncle who sent the news.
In the past few days, Fucheng Yamen and the Anti-Japanese Army had sent people to search for the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince.
However, seven or eight days had passed, and there was still no news at all.
The longer the time, the lower the chances of finding the Seventh Prince alive.
While basking in the sun, Fan Chengxu said: "If there is no news from the Seventh Prince, many people in the Taizhou House will suffer. "
Chengxiang's." Shopkeeper Shen comforted him from the side.
Fan Chengxu said: "If he wants to die, he can't die in the city. If he were to really die in the territory of Taizhou Prefecture, and not on the battlefield against the Japanese pirates, then too many people would be involved. Under the might of the empire, there were many bones.
" Goodness, think of others, think of ordinary people," Shopkeeper Shen said.
"You're wrong. Not because I have a good heart, but the Taizhou government is in turmoil. My business is not easy to do. I'm a businessman, so I certainly hope to make money everywhere" Fan told Chengxu .
At this time, a young man came to send a letter, saying that Xu Heyou sent a letter, saying that it was sent by an old friend who knew Boss Fan.
“Bawa.”
Fan Chengxu extended his hand, and the maid carefully handed the letter to Fan Chengxu.
Fan Chengxu frowned when he saw the words on the cover of the letter.
Immediately after, he opened the letter, and sat up straight while chuckling.
"My lord, what's wrong? What's wrong with the letter?" Shopkeeper Shen rarely saw his master make such a shocking move, so he could not help but feel worried.
Fan Chengxu did not speak, he stared at the letter in his hand for a long time, and then lay down again.
"Old Shen, you go to the warehouse to get 800 taels of silver, then go with the courier, ask Xu Heyou what medicinal ingredients you want, then come back and report to me," fan Chengxu.
Hearing this, shopkeeper Shen's expression was unbelievable, eight hundred taels of silver? That's too much!
Their business dealings with Xu Heyou were only a few taels of silver a month, and just a few dozen taels a year.These eight hundred taels were what Xu Heyou could only gain from doing business with them for a decade or two!
Even if they were Zuixianju, they would not be able to obtain eight hundred taels of silver this year!
“Sir, is this 800 taels too much?” Hesitating again and again, shopkeeper Shen still expressed his doubts.
“You don't need to worry, just send it according to this number,” Fan Chengxu said firmly.
“OK, I'll do it soon!” Shopkeeper Shen did not dare to ask any more when he saw the expression of his young master.
Then he quickly followed the young master's instructions, picked up a silver ticket, and went to Zhuangzi outside the city with the person Xu Heyou had sent to deliver the letter.
While delivering the letter to Zuixianju, Wei Ruo took Zhu Zongyu for a walk in the front yard of the hut where he lived.
"Your body is getting better, so if the weather outside is not bad, you can go out and take a walk in the yard. Proper exercise will help you recover," Wei Ruo told Zhu Zongyu.
“Today is cold, but the sun is good. You can bask in the sun in the yard when tired of walking. As long as you don't move much and don't hurt your wounds, it's very good for your body right now." Wei Ruo Again.
"Yes." Yeah."
Then Wei Ruo moved the rattan chair in the courtyard, placed it in the appropriate position, and sat down by himself, but let Zhu Zongyu stand: "If you can still walk, then sit down, you can walk a little longer, as long as you don't just pull the wound."
Then he beckoned Xiumei to sit next to him.
"My master, the weather is so good, why don't we make tea," Xiumei suggested.
"Then make winter melon tea, then" Wei Ruo said.
"How do you make winter melon tea?" Xiumei asked.
"Go to the Zhuangzi basement and take the winter melon, wash and peel, but do not remove the seeds, cut them into small pieces and put them in a pot, add brown sugar and mix well, let stand for a quarter of an hour, when the brown sugar melts, and the winter melon After the water is separated, the, add the rock sugar and start to boil with a small flame until the soup is sticky like honey and dark like amber Then strain the winter melon.seeds and put the boiled winter melon tea into. Keep it in a jar, and when you want to drink it, simply take warm water to mix it up
. " Xiumei got up excitedly and ran into the basement.
"Slow down! Don't fall!" wei Ruo from behind.
"understand!"
By the time Xiumei's voice reached Wei Ruo's ears, he had disappeared.
Zhu Zongyu looked at the two masters and servants from the side, and was infected by the relaxed and joyous emotions of the two of them.
Experiencing life and death, suffering greatly, bruising all over the body, but feeling a long-lost peace and peace of mind.
In the past few days, I have felt warm and relaxed in this dilapidated Zhuangzi hut.
Although this young man surnamed Xu was wary of him, he did not hesitate at all while rescuing and helping him.
He knew Master Xu's worries were reasonable, he was kind but not stupid, it was a wise choice.
“What do you think?” Wei Ruo discovered that Zhu Zongyu was thinking about something with great joy.
"I'm thinking about what things I can't let go of in my life" Zhu Zongyu replied.
"Why did you suddenly think of such a mysterious question?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Maybe because of life and death experiences," Zhu Zongyu replied.
After Zhu Zongyu looked at Wei Ruo carefully, he continued: "I've never had such an idea before, and I never thought about whether what I did was right or wrong. I'm just doing this one thing and doing this one thing well. ."
"But when I was hunted by someone and fell in the wild grass, and the last person around me went to save me, the pain in my body went numb. I could feel the blood flowing out of my body, and I could feel my life go by." "
Back then, the entire world was very quiet, except for the sound of water gurgling, and even this voice became increasingly weak. The more subtle, the less one can hear. In that moment, I found that my mind was completely empty, and there was no one or anything I could not let go of. There are only feelings of resentment, but I don't know why I didn't resign." Wei
Ruo He replied: "I don't think too much. Doing what I want to do, loving the person I love, and protecting the person I want to protect are enough. Mr. Zhu was born into a wealthy family. He may not know that there are many people in this world who are just living, Just feeding me and my family has exhausted all my strength. ”
