085. Conditions for retention

The next day, Luo Zan, the patriarch of the Luo clan, hurried to plead guilty. It's a pity that Nangong Dingkang went to Qingxinguan, and even Nangong Pu was not at home. Luo Zan asked to see the second young master Nangong Jin by name, but his invitation could not be transmitted to the West Courtyard at all, and the porter said, "The second young master is unwell, so I will not see the guests." And he sent him back.

Rozan walked away angrily, but things were still fermenting. The Nangong clan completely suspended its cooperation with the Luo clan, and a few days later, all aspects of the Luo clan were gradually paralyzed.

Luo Zan didn't expect that their dependence on the Nangong clan was so deep, and in horror, he ran to the Nangong Mansion again, but he still didn't see anyone. As a last resort, I could only go out of the city to ask the ancestor of Nangong in Rising Sun Village, and finally said that Nangong Dingchang would continue to cooperate with Luo with the private property of the second room. However, what Nangong Dingchang meant was that they couldn't eat so many industries, so they could only choose a few places first. For Roche, it's better than nothing.

After thinking about Liu Yi in the cave, he was released after only ten days. Tang Shubin told Liu Yi and Li Mo about Luo's affairs and Nangong Jin's plea. I wanted to dispel Liu Yi's suspicions, but Liu Yi seemed to have decided that Nangong Jin was not a good person, but Li Mo had a great interest in Nangong Jin, and planned to contact Nangong Pu and Li Songran to meet and have a meal in private.

However, all this has nothing to do with Nangong Jin. After that day, Li Songran came and told him that he was going to Huai'an and Quanzhou to start a formal cooperation with Xiang Ji. Looking for a shop, he had already instructed Li's shopkeeper in Pingyang that it shouldn't take much time to have it, and he left in a hurry after speaking.

Nangong Jin was very helpless, obviously he was the owner of Xiangji, so he could only stay in the west courtyard and turn over the ground. The ground in the west courtyard has been turned over and tamped again, and the second time it has been turned over by more than half. There doesn't seem to be much in the family, not even the eldest brother.

But Du Ling didn't care, since he heard that he was really going to open a medical hall for him, he began to test all kinds of medicines, making all kinds of long, flat, round, and square ones, and took them to Nangong Jin to wear, and asked him which shape was better to swallow.

A few days later, Zhou Tang and Nangong Pu were startled when they entered the West Courtyard. There is no good land in the entire West Courtyard, and Nangong Jin is sweating and seriously turning the ground.

Zhou Tang stepped forward and held down the hoe, and asked with some worry: "Jin'er, what are you doing?" ”

"Turning the floor." Nangong Jin replied casually.

Nangong Pu casually took the hoe in Nangong Jin's hand and handed it to Fu's mother who came up: "Ah Jin, go in and change your clothes, it's all soaked." ”

"It's fine." Take a few steps away, take the hoe from Fu's mother's hand, and continue.

Nangong Pu grabbed him: "Okay, why do you want to do this?" ”

Nangong Jin looked at Nangong Pu and said impatiently, "Why do you all have to ask?" I like it、I'm happy、Is there a problem? ”

"Ah Jin, don't ...... like this." Nangong Pu saw that he was angry and persuaded.

"What if you don't do that? I didn't go out, and besides, I've been doing it for a long time, and nothing happened. Nangong Jin shook her head and smiled, and continued.

Zhou Tang sighed: "Jin'er, I'm sorry. My mother and eldest brother have some things, and I haven't come over for many days. ”

"No, no. You have your business, it's good, you see, I have my business. Nangong Jin didn't raise his head.

Nangong Pu wanted to take the hoe from Nangong Jin's hand again: "Ah Jin, my mother and eldest brother want to talk to you." ”

Nangong Jin's hand tightened, and he didn't let Nangong Pu take the hoe, and looked at them and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm not available." ”

"Jin'er......." Zhou Tang understood that he was angry, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

"Mother, it's nothing, you better go, I'm busy." Seeing that the two of them were standing all the time, they had no intention of leaving: "You don't want to go?" Okay, I'll go. After saying that, he carried his hoe and went back to the room.

Nangong Pu followed a few steps, but was still locked out of the door: "Ah Jin, open the door." ”

"Are you bothered?! I want to be alone! Can you calm me down? Nangong Jin half-shouted in the room.

Zhou Tang saw Du Ling decocting medicine in the small kitchen: "Little Doctor Du." ”

Du Ling raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Tang: "Hey, I said it earlier, you don't believe this person's temper." Now, see you. Du Ling rubbed his nose and continued: "However, if you have been sick for a long time, you will inevitably be in a bad mood." Locked up here every day, he's okay and can find something to do for himself. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will be driven crazy. Alas, I regret that I shouldn't have persuaded him to return to Binh Duong in the first place. ”

Zhou Tang was silent, stood for a while, and silently walked out of the west courtyard with Nangong Pu.

As soon as they left, Du Ling knocked on Nangong Jin's door with a medicine jar and said excitedly, "They're leaving." I've found that we're getting more and more acquainted, ha. Du Ling looked proud. watched Nangong Jin freshen up, and finally asked, "They came to talk to you, why don't you talk to them?" ”

Nangong Jin pointed to the medicine jar, "Want to drink?" ”

"Yes, my senior brother's Ten Days of Soul Scattering is still very toxic, and I can't think of a better way to get rid of the poison now, without this control, you may not be able to stand up."

"Okay, I just can't understand why it's a pill for a while and a decoction for a while."

"It means that I'm thinking of a way, I'm going to open a medical center in the future, and I'll make pills for you, three times a day, don't break it." Why don't you talk about it? ”

Nangong Jin looked at him and found that he didn't seem to succeed in changing the topic: "Alas......." Their return from the pure mind shows that the two sides finally have a solution to the problem. As he spoke, he nodded to himself: "My mother wants to leave Pingyang with me." If I agree, they may reconcile. But I can't leave Binh Duong, but I said I wanted to leave before. How to talk about it? And she said, I'm not leaving? She will definitely ask why, how do I answer? You can't pretend to be sick, that is, you can't even drag it out. So, let's not talk about it. ”

"Are you so sure she's here to talk about this?" Du Ling couldn't figure it out.

"She hasn't been here since I told her last time I was leaving. After that, Songran told me that they were talking about reconciliation. Of course, my mother will help me realize my wish to leave, and that day Songran also said that she would not let me go alone. That's it, what do you think? "Nangong Jin looked at him, as if to say, 'This still needs to be explained'.

Du Ling thought about it, felt that there was some truth, and asked, "What about your eldest brother?" ”

"Big brother, of course he doesn't want them to reconcile, he is eighty percent of the big bosses."

"Oh, he's here to keep you?" Du Ling guessed.

"But it's useless to just talk about it, and looking at his appearance today, there shouldn't be any conditions for me to stay." Nangong Jin said and sighed: "If he comes alone, I can still give some hints." Now, I can only stop talking about it and look at the big boss. ”

Du Ling thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Complicated! ”

"No way, who made me have no status."

"In case your father can't make a condition, you really go?"

"Why don't you go?" Nangong Jin didn't care what he said.

"Then, then your father and mother are going to be separated? Are you really going with your mother? Du Ling was anxious for him.

"I can't help it. However, there should still be Li Songran who will go. has always been following the big boss to deal with the affairs of the Nangong clan, and this time he was suddenly anxious to let him deal with the cooperation between the Li family and Xiangji, and he should also think that in case it is irretrievable, he can give his mother some explanation. He doesn't really want to leave, and I think the conditions offered to me shouldn't be too bad. It's useless to think too much, just wait. Nangong Jin didn't know if he guessed right or not, but whether it was right or not, he really had to wait.

Nangong Dingkang really didn't let Nangong Jin wait long.

The next day, Nangong Pu took more than a dozen family members and carried several wooden boxes into the study of the West Courtyard. Nangong Jin still turned a blind eye to herself.

"Ah Jin, go to the study, my eldest brother has something to say to you." Nangong Pu's tone was serious.

Nangong Jin raised her head and sneered: "Which young lady's dowry is this?" ”

"What nonsense, this is the account book of the family for nearly ten years. Go to the study. After that, he went to the study first.

Nangong Jin was secretly startled, put down the hoe, and followed.

In the study, Nangong Pu patted the box: "Even if it's just the general ledger, there are a lot, and half of it will be sent here first." ”

"What is this?" Nangong Jin opened the box, took out a copy and flipped through it, looking up at Nangong Pu.

Nangong Pu smiled, "Usually few people are interested in these things, but I think you should be different from ordinary people." It includes the annual general ledger of the twenty-three halls, as well as the accounts of the Nangong Mansion in Binh Duong. In the past ten years, the family has changed a lot, and the eldest brother hopes that you can learn more. When you're ready, I'm afraid that something will have to be dealt with by you soon. ”

Nangong Jin opened the box again and flipped through it, it was the monthly account in the house, so he simply opened it one by one, and when he opened the seventh, he was shocked again, and the account book reads "Yulin Liujintang". After a while, he closed the eight open boxes one by one. After thinking about it very seriously, he said to Nangong Pu: "Big brother, I want two more things." ”

"What?"

"Maps of public opinion, local chronicles."

Nangong Pu frowned, "Pingyang's? ”

"Da Ming's."

Nangong Pu didn't understand what he was going to do, thought for a while and said, "Ah Jin, it's not a little bit. ”

"I know. The local chronicles should first ask the locations of these twenty-three churches, and then make up the rest slowly. By the way, can you help me prepare a big table? ”

"How old?"

"One foot long and one foot wide."

"What do you want to do?" Nangong Pu was puzzled, what he wanted was not a trivial matter.

Nangong Jin raised her eyebrows: "Learn more about the situation at home." When will it be ready? ”

Nangong Pu thought about it again, "It's a little troublesome, three days." However, I think that the local chronicles will send a part first, and I think that it will be ten days at most, and the twenty-three churches will come first. I will tell you to go down and send it one after another. He also reminded: "There are many in one place alone, and I will try to collect them as much as possible." ”

Nangong Jin finally smiled, stepped forward and hugged Nangong Pu: "Thank you!" ”

Nangong Pu smiled and gave him a burst chestnut: "Thank you!" Is it true that you lose your temper every day and can't get along with this yard? ”

Nangong Jin's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head and was embarrassed.

"Okay, now promise the eldest brother two things. One, a while, apologize to my mother. My mother wants to talk to you about what you are leaving, and you can say whatever you want, but you are not allowed to lose your temper or make her angry. Got it? ”

Nangong Jin flattened her mouth, looked at the eight boxes in the stacking room, hesitated and nodded.

Seeing his expression, Nangong Pu smiled: "Second, you want so many things, you must have thought about what you want to get." Big brother, no matter how you want to get it, but you must not be tired. Don't be like when you were a child, in order to prepare a gift for Xiao Yao, you don't sleep for three days in a row, and you don't wake up for two days, your family will be worried. Got it? ”

"Big brother, I'm measured, don't worry."

Nangong Pu shook his head: "It's not just that time. You're a little stupid when you come across something you're interested in. I'll let Mother Fu keep an eye on it. As he spoke, he pulled him to the desk and sat down, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over, and said, "What's going on?" ”

Nangong Jin took it, it was the deed of Zhang Lingyufang, and the owner wrote Du Ling: "Ha, so fast!" ”

"Song Ran is not here, and the shopkeeper below him will send this to me. Say it was commanded by you. ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I ask Songran to find a house ......."

"Why are you looking for Songran?" Nangong Pu's expression was serious.

"This, because the silver was borrowed from Songran, I told him that I would definitely pay it back." The more Nangong Jin spoke, the more embarrassed she became.

Nangong Pu sighed: "Do you want to pay for the consultation yourself?" ”

Nangong Jin felt embarrassed, and didn't know what to say: "Hey, although Du Ling is a little annoying, he is not bad, he always gives him anger, and he doesn't say anything." I knew he wanted to be a miracle doctor, just to help him. ”

"Dad has already arranged the consultation fee for Dr. Xiao Du."

"This, in fact, is my business, and it shouldn't be ...... at home."

Nangong Pu interrupted him angrily: "What do you mean it's your business?" Could it be that you still want to pay for what you live and eat at home? Ah Jin, a big brother like you will be angry. ”

"That's not what I meant." Nangong Jin hurriedly explained, and then said with a smile: "Actually, I'm just a poor egg, I don't have any money, I have a lot of debts, and I'm just a swollen face and a fat man." Brother, don't be angry. Seeing that Nangong Pu was still strained, he pushed back the deed in his hand: "Big brother, Du Ling has been elated every day for the opening of a medical center these days, why don't you give him this as a consultation fee from the family?" I know that the shop in Lingyufang is not cheap, if there are too many, then let him be the full-time doctor of our family. Anyway, now, as long as there is a patient to show him, he will agree. ”

Nangong Pu still looked at him like this and didn't say anything.

"Then ...... such words," Nangong Jin asked tentatively, "Songran's side, will you trouble the eldest brother?" ”

Nangong Pu laughed helplessly: "I thought you would continue to be hard-mouthed and admit defeat so soon?" ”

"This is called knowing the practitioner as Junjie."

"Okay, you give him this. The eldest brother will arrange some accounting rooms and guys for him, and Doctor Du's medical hall must always be decent. ”

"Don't!" Nangong Jin stopped: "That guy is a young tendon, how can it be so easy to open a medical hall." If you want to be a miracle doctor, you can't even open a medical hall, so you can't be a miracle doctor. Big brother, you don't care. ”

"This, isn't it? Gave him this deed and nothing else? I know, Dr. Du doesn't have much money, right? ”

Nangong Jin smiled evilly: "If he begs me, I can also point to him, hehe." ”

Nangong Pu was speechless: "Alas, you two ......." Okay, I don't care. Don't bully him too much, Uncle Zhuang asked us to take care of him. ”

"Yes, yes."

"Okay, big brother will go first. I have to repair the yard for you. Nangong Pu smiled and shook his head.
