Chapter 192 – Boss Fan Sends Silver Tickets

In the garden behind the Drunken Immortal Residence.

Fan Chengxu was lying on the recliner, his posture looked leisurely, but his expression was not as relaxed and easy-going as it used to be.

He was also privy to the disappearance of the Seventh Prince, and it was his uncle who sent the news.

In the past few days, both the Prefectural government office and the Anti-Japanese Army were sending people to search for the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince.

However, seven or eight days have passed and so far there is no news at all.

The longer it took, the less likely it was to find the living Seventh Prince.

Fan Chengxu said while basking in the sun, “If there is no more news from this Seventh Prince, there will be a lot of people within the Taizhou Province who will suffer.”

“Your Excellency, don’t worry, Your Highness’s good fortune will be reflected in the heavens, and you will surely turn good fortune into good fortune.” Mr. Shen comforted at the side.

Fan Chengxu said: “He must die not in the city, really die in the territory of Taizhou Prefecture, and not in the battlefield against the Japanese, then the implicated people will be too many. Under the imperial power, there are tired white bones.”

“His Excellency has a good heart and thinks about others and the people.” Shopkeeper Shen said.

“You are wrong, not I am kind-hearted, but the Taizhou province is in chaos, my business can not do well, I am a businessman, naturally hope that there is money to be made everywhere profitable.” Fan Chengxu said.

Just at this time, a boy came over to pass on a letter, saying that Xu Wo right had sent a letter over, saying that it was sent by a deceased person who knew Boss Fan.

“Bring it.”

Fan Chengxu reached out and the boy carefully handed the letter to Fan Chengxu’s hand.

Fan Chengxu frowned when he saw the words on the cover of the letter.

Immediately after that, he opened the letter, while sitting up straight with a ‘miso’.

“Sir, what’s wrong? What’s wrong with the content of the letter?” Mr. Shen seldom saw his son act so surprised, so he couldn’t help but worry.

Fan Chengxu didn’t say anything, his eyes were fixed on the letter in his hand for a while, then he lay back down again.

“Old Shen, go to the treasury and get eight hundred taels of silver bills, then go with the person who sent the letter and ask Xu Wo right what herbs he wants, then come back and report to me.” Fan Chengxu said.

At the words of Shen shopkeeper a face of disbelief, eight hundred taels of silver? That’s too much!

They and Xu Wo right business dealings, a month is only a few two silver, a year is only a few dozen two, this eight hundred two, is Xu Wo right with them to do business for one or two decades to earn the silver!

Even their Drunken Immortal Residence couldn’t make eight hundred taels of silver this year!

“Sir, would eight hundred taels be too much?” Hesitating again and again, Shopkeeper Shen still voiced his doubts.

“You don’t have to care, just send it according to this number.” Fan Chengxu said with certainty.

“Yes, I’ll do it right away!” Shopkeeper Shen didn’t dare to ask anything more when he saw this expression on his own son’s face.

Then he hurriedly followed his son’s order, took the silver ticket and followed the person Xu Wo right sent to deliver the letter together to go to the manor outside the city.

While going to the Drunken Immortal Residence to deliver the letter, Wei Ruo took Zhu Zongyue for a stroll around the yard in front of the hut he was staying in.

“Your body has gotten a little better, so if the weather outside is still good, come out and walk around the yard, proper exercise will help you recover.” Wei Ruo said to Zhu Zongyu. ….

“Good.” Zhu Zongyu agreed.

“Although today is cold, but the sunshine is good, you can also bask in the sun in the courtyard when you are tired of walking, as long as the amplitude of movement is not too big don’t pull the wound, it is very good for your current body.” Wei Ruo added.

“Uh-huh.”

Immediately after that, Wei Ruo moved the rattan chair in the courtyard and placed it in a suitable position, sitting down herself but leaving Zhu Zongyue standing, “If you can still walk, you can walk a little longer, just don’t pull the wound.”

Then he gestured for Xiu Mei to come sit next to him.

“Sir, this weather is so nice, why don’t we make some more tea to drink.” Xiu Mei suggested.

“Then let’s make winter melon tea.” Wei Ruo said.

“How do you make winter melon tea?” Xiu Mei asked.

“You’re going to the bank.

The cellar to take some winter melon to, wash and peel, but do not go to the seed, cut into small pieces and put into the pot, add some brown sugar and stir well, let stand for a quarter of an hour, when the brown sugar melted, and winter melon precipitation of water, and then put into the icing sugar began to cook on a low fire, until the soup is sticky and sticky like honey, the color of amber, it can be. Then filter off the winter melon seeds, will be boiled winter melon tea into a jar to save, want to drink when you take some of the brewing warm water and mix can.

“It doesn’t sound too hard, I’ll try it now!” Xiu Mei excitedly got up and ran towards the cellar.

“Slow down! Don’t fall!” Wei Ruo admonished from behind.

“I know!”

Xiu Mei’s voice reached Wei Ruo’s ears when the person had already disappeared.

Zhu Zongyue watched this master and servant duo from the side, infected by the relaxed and pleasant mood on the two of them.

After experiencing a life and death, suffering and getting bruises all over his body, he felt a calm and peace of mind that he hadn’t felt for a long time.

The last few days had felt warm and relaxing in this run-down, shabby manor house.

Although this young male surnamed Xu was wary of himself, he didn’t hesitate at all when it came to saving himself and helping himself.

He knew that Lord Xu’s concern was reasonable; he was kind but not foolish, and it was a wise choice.

“What are you thinking about?” Wei Ruo realized that Zhu Zongyue was lost in thought.

“I was thinking about what there is in life that you can’t let go of.” Zhu Zongyu replied.

“Why are you suddenly thinking of such a subtle question?” Wei Ruo asked.

“It’s probably because of experiencing a life and death.” Zhu Zongyu replied.

After Zhu Zongyu took a glance at Wei Ruo, he continued, “Once upon a time, I didn’t have such thoughts, and I never thought about whether what I was doing was right or wrong, no matter it was the people around me or the situation, all of them told me to only do this one thing, to do this one thing well.”

“But when I was being chased and collapsed in the barren grass, and the last person around me left to save me, the pain in my body had reached numbness, and I could feel the blood flowing out of my body, and I could feel my life draining away.”

“The whole world was very quiet at that time, and there was only the sound of gurgling water in my ears, and even that sound was getting fainter and fainter, more and more inaudible. At that time I realized that my mind was blank, and there was no one or thing that I couldn’t let go of. There was only a kind of unwillingness, but I didn’t know exactly what it was for.”

Wei Ruo replied, “I don’t think that much, do what I want to do, love the people I love, protect the people I want to protect is enough. Mr. Zhu was born in a wealthy family, may not know that there are many people in this world, simply just live, just to let themselves and their families to eat has used up all their strength.” .
