Chapter 80: Victory Without a Fight
When Lu Yun was carefully considering the competition project, Zheng Sheng was explaining the task.
He took out a box from his baggage, opened it and said, "There are one hundred and twelve." This thing is fragile, so be careful on the road. Yesterday I accidentally broke four of them while riding a horse. This one can save a dying person! β
Chu Quzhi looked at the box with some shockβthe amount of the liquid medicine was really beyond his expectations, and he exclaimed, "Yes, one bottle can save a life." β
"By the way, how much is left in Shen Huai?"
Chu Quzhi thought for a while and said, "After the prince left, the four people who had used the medicine improved significantly, although they were not completely well, but they did not continue to use mushroom moss liquid. Dr. Shen prescribed them other medications, and the situation progressed in the direction of recovery. However, Dr. Shen used three bottles and gave them to the other three. β
"It's a big hit." Zheng Sheng muttered, and he didn't have to think about it to know that Zheng Wen was unwilling to use it more. This bottle is only about 0.3 grams, and there are more than a dozen bottles left in Zheng Wen!
"Bring this to him! By the way, give him this too. Last time I just dictated it, I'm afraid he won't remember it well and ruin the medicine. β
"What is this?" Chu Quzhi took the piece of paper.
"How to store this medicine." Zheng Sheng explained casually. The gift package that the system gave him was really comprehensive, and there were even several ways to preserve penicillin for a long time. Zheng Sheng chose a relatively easy method to implement and handed it to him.
"I'll deliver it." Chu Quzhi carefully put it away.
"Okay, you go and rest for a while, and then send the medicine back."
"I'll go now." Chu Qu was sick and replied immediately.
"There's no rush. It's never too late to rest for a while and then go. β
"The medicine is fragile, so I took them back in a carriage. The carriage ride is also considered a rest. Chu went to the sick road.
Zheng Sheng thought about it, and it was not good to discourage him again, after all, people work hard, and he can't always get in the way. Such a good employee, only good encouragement!
"Okay, after you send the things, follow everyone back to Wancheng to rest for a while!"
"Yes."
After Chu Qu's illness left, Han Jin walked in: "Kewu, it's time for us to go." β
"Uncle Han, uh, Brother Chengxiu." Zheng Sheng got up, "Is it so early?" β
"yes. It would be better if we went there sooner. β
Zheng Sheng took the people and set off with him.
Speaking of the question of the title between the two. When the two met last night, Zheng Sheng thought that although Han Jin was Zheng Wen's collaborator, and the two families had a relationship with each other before, he was his matchmaker with Lu Yun after all. In the Lu family, Han Jin and Lu Xian are commensurate with each other, Lu Yun is a junior, and he is naturally a junior.
Otherwise, the scene of the two sides meeting at that time would not be too beautiful.
"This is my Brother Zheng. This is my niece Lu. β
Zheng Sheng always couldn't adapt to this sense of confusion in interpersonal relationships. Therefore, he called Han Jin "Uncle Han".
But for a question of title, Han Jin grinded him for half a night, and finally changed Zheng Sheng's title to him. Han Jin has a very convincing reason: now that the matter between him and Lu Yun has not been completed, everyone has their own opinions.
He is the same generation as Zheng Wen, and naturally he is the same generation as Zheng Sheng.
Later, Zheng Sheng thought about it and had some understanding of Han Jin's mentality.
Han Jinhui's participation in the marriage of Zheng and Lu is entirely due to Zheng Wen. And he is Zheng Wen's business partner!
Zheng Sheng thought a little shallowly.
Han Jin's mind is naturally more than that. Zheng Wen asked him to help Zheng Sheng be a matchmaker, Han Jin ran before and after, and he did help the Lu family a lot in the past few months, and even bought a house in Anlu for the convenience of coming and going.
The reason why Lu Chong said that he wanted to bring the prey back to Han Jin to eat, not to his father and sister. That's why too. Lu Chong witnessed his Uncle Han, helping his family these days. In Lu Chong's heart, he decided that Han Jin was a good person.
But Han Jin is actually a businessman. There is no profit and it is not early, Han Jin naturally has his own ideas for such a contribution.
More than 10 years ago, when the Zheng family was still settled in Jingnan, the two families were the losers of the political struggle to sympathize with each other and hold each other for warmth.
But then the Zheng family changed into a Zheng Tan who had made great achievements and had the title of Marquis of Ting, and his family moved back to his homeland.
Originally, the development of things should have been that the two families gradually broke off contact until they became strangers.
But in recent years, Zheng has suddenly made great efforts in business and made a lot of money. Various transactions such as Zheng Zi paper and Zui Xiangju even extended to Jingnan.
With the friendship of more than ten years ago, Han Jin successfully entered the game. But Han Jin was not reconciled to only do it to this extent.
But how can we get closer to the Zheng family?
Opportunity presented itself to him.
The importance of Zheng Sheng in the Zheng family is naturally self-evident, and the influence of his wife and family on the Zheng family in the future is also self-evident.
However, this is Han Jin's deeper, thinking about the future.
As Zheng Sheng thought, he and Zheng Wen are commensurate with their peers, if Zheng Sheng and Lu Yun are placed in the same generation now, isn't that the person who sees himself as the Lu family's side?
Han Jin's choice is naturally impeccable.
When everyone arrived at Lu's house, they found that quite a lot of people had gathered in that alley.
"They're supposed to be here to watch the competition." Han Jin explained.
Zheng Sheng was stunned.
The alley where the Lu family is located is a long and narrow alley called Qihuang Lane. It's because in the early years there was a family here that produced a skilled doctor.
Looking at the alley that was almost crowded with people, Han Jin looked bitter: "This is something I can't think about!" "It was easy to get to the door of the Lu family, and Biyu quietly opened the door for them and welcomed them in.
First of all, Zheng Sheng glanced at the courtyard roughly.
The area of this yard is not large, there are only two or three rooms in the front yard, and the back yard is probably the same. It is evident that it is very old and does not seem to have been properly repaired by the owner. It looks a little shabby. But the ground is very neat, and the bluestone floor tiles seem to be spotless.
Lu Xian, Lu Yun, Lu Chong, and Biyu stood neatly in front of them.
Yes, there is only a little maid of Jasper, and there are no other slaves. Even in recent days, Han Jin proposed several times to give two sturdy servants over, but Lu Xian refused. This is what Zheng Wen mentioned to him before.
Zheng Sheng respectfully bowed to the junior: "Junior, Nanyang Zheng Sheng has seen Uncle Lu. β
After looking at it carefully for a while, Lu Xian showed a satisfied look: "Nephew Zheng Xian, please get up, please go aside and stay for a while." The Son of Stone Thorn should be there soon. β
"Okay." Zheng Sheng obediently stood in the open space on the right. Ren Ju, Zheng Quan, and Wan Yun, who came with him, stood beside him.
The crowd waited. I waited a long time.
Until the sun starts to get hot and everyone even sweats. Shi Meng and his party still did not appear.
Lu Yun and Biyu began to prepare tea for everyone. Lu Chong even ran back indoors and brought wooden chairs. Until everyone drank a pot of tea. Shi Meng still hasn't arrived.
At this time, Yang Bo, the county guard of Jiangxia, came in a hurry - he was also a long time late.
After everyone saw the salute, Han Jin said to Yang Bo: "Lord Yang, where is Young Master Shi?" "Beforehand, he and Yang Bo had discussed, he received Zheng Sheng, and Shi Meng handed it over to the county guard.
Yang Bo drank the tea and said with a distressed face: "Don't mention it!" He ran away! β
Everyone was stunned.
Zheng Sheng couldn't help but think: Shi Meng ran away? Did he win without a fight?
