She straightened the straw hat on her head, looked left and right, walked through the cold and damp alley, and knocked on a pharmacy in the depths of the alley, with a dilapidated façade and green grass growing on the plaque.

That's right, it's a drugstore.

The plaque with the words "Ponzi Pharmacy" written in ink probably has a long history. Because of this, the wooden plaque of this poorly run pharmacy looks so dilapidated.

So, when she first came here to buy medicine for her father more than a month ago, she couldn't believe that it was a pharmacy.

The one who opened the door was a young man who was not very old, thin and tall, and when he saw her, his eyes lit up: "Miss Lu, are you here to grab medicine for Uncle Lu again?" Sit down, I'll go get the medicine. ”

The middle-aged man sitting behind the stage snorted coldly, ignored the attentive apprentice, and looked at a booklet in his hand.

It's just that Miss Lu walked to the front of the stage, took out the burden in her arms, and gently put it on the stage: "Uncle Pang." ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Pang raised his head, glanced at the burden, and then looked at her in some surprise.

"The two thousand three hundred and seventy-five dollars that my family owes you for the past two years are here."

"Girl, where did you get this money?" Pang Wu frowned and asked, "I know your family's situation best, where does all this money come from?" ”

Lu Yun lowered her head, thought and thought in her heart, and then she spoke: "There are friends at home." ”

"Friends?" Pang Wu put down the book.

"Yes."

At this time, Lu Yun took the medicine from the young man, thanked him politely, and then turned to Pang Wu and said, "Uncle Pang, my father's condition has improved recently. He said that when he recovers, he will come to your door to thank you in person. ”

Pang Wu waved his hand: "Tell him, no need." ”

After Lu Yun finished speaking, he said goodbye to the pair of masters and apprentices and left the pharmacy.

She walked out of the alley, holding the medicine, and walked on the stone road of Jiangxia City, her mind quite uncertain.

A drizzle of rain began to fall, dripping on her hat and shoulders. Lu Yun came to his senses. She hurried home—the small courtyard with only a few stone tile houses.

"Childe, you're back! You okay? Rain, right? ”

"It's fine." Lu Yun handed her the herbs in her arms.

Jasper took it and ran to decoction the medicine.

Lu Yun changed into clean clothes, walked into the main house, and saw a middle-aged man with a pale face, an anxious and worried look, and a few short beards.

But. When he saw her enter the house, he was stunned, and then he snorted coldly and turned his head to ignore her.

Lu Yun was stunned, saluted silently, and walked back to his room. She looked out the window at the rain and was silent.

It's been more than a month since I got home. And the matter of Wangyuan Pavilion has been going on for nearly two months.

When she returned to Jiangxia, she learned that the situation at home was even more difficult than she imagined, because of her father's illness, the family sold their house and land, and lived back in this dilapidated old courtyard in Xicheng, and he also dismissed all the family members.

So what? She took care of her sick father without regrets, comforted the little girl Biyu who often cried and complained, and also saddened her brother who went astray.

She had almost forgotten her agreement with Zheng Sheng.

Jiangxia is far from Nanyang. What happened over there, when it came here, was difficult and lagging behind.

But not long ago, she still heard people talk about the falling out between King Shunyang and Zheng Sheng.

Zheng's is finished!

She felt stupid, how dare she say something like that? That guy probably wouldn't believe her at all, and read the agreement as a joke, right?

She let go of all her thoughts.

She had to take care of her nearly shattered home with peace of mind.

In the past few days, the weather has become warmer, my father's illness has gradually improved, and my younger brother, who has not seen her unfamiliar and unruly for a few years, has seen her sister taking care of the family with hard work, and called her "sister" for the first time.

She felt that her life would gradually improve.

But an accident happened suddenly yesterday.

On this day, an uninvited guest came to the house.

"In Xia Hanjin, from Changsha. According to the generation, you girl should call me uncle. A rich-looking man in his forties spoke in a calm tone.

After some conversation, Lu Yun understood the truth of the matter.

Her mother's name is Han Ying, and her home is also in Jiangxia. However, Han Ying's father and maternal grandfather Han Zhu are from Changsha. And Han Jin, who claimed to be from Changsha, told her that his father, Han Yan, was her grandfather's cousin.

However, this Han Jin, who has long been out of contact with Jiangxia Han, came to her home? It's really weird!

And Han Jin wanted to give her family a precious gift, which made Lu Yun even more vigilant. In the end, Lu Xian, who had been ill for a long time, also dragged his sick body to meet Han Jin. After a while, Lu Xian found that Han Jin really seemed to have come to support their embarrassed relatives. There is no ill intention.

Although the icing on the cake is good, it is even more valuable to send charcoal in the snow.

Lu's father and daughter were very grateful.

Until the final parting, Han Jin suddenly mentioned: "I heard that Miss Lu passed by Nanyang Wangyuan Pavilion on the way back to Jiangxia?" ”

Lu Yun was taken aback.

Han Jin smiled, said goodbye to Lu Xian and left.

Lu Yun thought about it again and again, and finally told him bluntly what happened in Nanyang Wangyuan Pavilion: "If my father really doesn't want to, when the situation improves, this marriage contract can be canceled if it is canceled!" ”

Lu Xian was really angry: "Marriage is a big event, how can it be such a child's play!" ”

Lu Xian was not only angry at her daughter's self-assertions, but also lamented her good intentions.

Then, Lu Xian, who had all kinds of tastes in his heart, stopped paying attention to her.

Lu Yun looked at the window and silently thought about his thoughts.

What does Zheng Sheng and the Zheng family behind him mean? Why did Han get involved?

……

"In other words, my aunt Zheng Luo is married to Han Shu of the Han family's long house in Changsha. And Han Zhu of the Han family's third room settled in Jiangxia, and his daughter married the Lu family in Jiangxia, and the daughter was named Lu Yun? ”

Zheng Sheng pondered for a while before sorting out the relationship a little, and suddenly realized the problem in it: "That girl belongs to my junior generation!" ”

Zheng Wen took a sip of tea and explained slowly: "You were born young, and the children of your generation are about the same age as you. If you want to marry a wife, it will be more girls who are younger than you. However, Jiangxia Lu and we are not relatives, and there have been too many separations. So, Kewu don't have to worry about this. That Miss Lu is obviously in the prime of her life, and she is the same generation as you! ”

Zheng Sheng glared at him: "I just asked you to send someone to Jiangxia to take care of her house." Why would you want to go over on your own? And also secretly invite outsiders to contact indirectly? ”

"You told me about this, but I immediately went back to Nanyang and told the old man that he drove me to Jiangxia to see each other. But I thought about it on the way and thought it would be better to be careful. So, I enlisted the help of the Han family – Han Jin is our business partner and relative in Jingnan. Of course, it is best to find him. You also know what happened after that, we found that the Lu family was really in an extremely difficult predicament. ”
