Chapter 290: Illness
When Zhang Yicheng heard Zhang Nianjun's confession, he was so angry that he threw out the snuffbox he had been playing with.
But even so, he did not implement family law on him, which made Zhang Nianjun's heart feel like pouring a basin of cold water in the cold winter wax moon, and it was about to freeze into ice.
The old man treats people generously, but he has always been strict with his own people, and he will punish mercilessly when he makes mistakes.
Now that he doesn't even have the desire to punish himself, does it mean that he has given up on him?
Fortunately, he also spoke, and asked the housekeeper to take out the money to pay off the debt for him, which made Zhang Nianjun's heart relax a little, at least he didn't have to be approached by the people of the Six Museums to collect the debt.
Gambling debts are not something that anyone can owe, and if you don't pay them back within the time they allotted, they have thousands of ways to make you have no place in the capital.
After paying off his gambling debts, although he received a lot of cold reception in front of the Zhang family, especially Zhang Yicheng, fortunately, he barely saved his face to the outside world.
I don't know what the reason is, a rumor gradually arose in the capital, saying that he Zhang Nianjun is not only romantic, but also jealous with Uncle Guo in the Qinglou, and spendthrift, and lost millions of taels of silver in the casino overnight, which is really a complete gentleman.
This has become a secret that everyone in the capital knows.
When Zhang Nianjun knew, he panicked instantly. This is the opposite of the image he has been building in the capital.
The impression of the people of the capital on him has always been personable, although his background is a little unsatisfactory, but he is strong, open-minded and talented, and he feels that sooner or later he will get ahead.
In the past, when he walked on the road, the people around him were originally looking at him with envy and admiration, but now they have all turned into sneaky fingers, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
What's more, the ladies who originally mentioned it to his mother Ni Junyao all conveyed their intention not to marry the Zhang family through the matchmaker Xiang Zhang's family, obviously before this, but they mentioned it to the Zhang family first.
Zhang Nianjun was so anxious that he couldn't let this situation continue.
He wants to make some arrangements, but with his current status, there are not many people who are willing to be sent by him, and the only way is to give people benefits.
But after the gambling debt, he even controlled his meager pocket money.
In a month's time, the amount of silver that came out of his hand was only three hundred taels. When he said it, he himself felt ashamed.
A penny is hard to beat a hero, let alone in this capital where money is an uncle? So even if the outside world rumors about him are short-lived, she has no way to stop it.
He was so depressed that he fell ill. He was weak, his mouth was dry, and he occasionally had a few pustules the size of a grain of rice. Sometimes when it itches so badly, he will scratch it, and when it is scratched, blood will come out.
Even if Zhang Nianjun is not angry, the Zhang family will not let him fend for himself there, and Ni Junyao is even more.
She tried her best to invite the imperial doctor for Zhang Nianjun, but when the imperial doctor came to diagnose and treat her, she actually said a diagnosis that shocked everyone present and could even be called a thunderbolt from the sky.
What Zhang Nianjun suffered from turned out to be a 'dirty disease' that everyone despised, the most common flower willow disease committed by Qinglou women.
With the current level of medical care, there is no way to cure such a disease, which also means that Zhang Nianjun will always suffer from this disease for the rest of his life.
After Zhang Yicheng learned about it, he was furious and bluntly said that the Zhang family wanted to break off the relationship with him, and even more bluntly stated to Ni Junyao that if she still planned to defend him, the Zhang family would abandon her together.
Even if Ni Junyao had the heart to defend it, he had to be ruthless to cut off relations with him. Overnight, Zhang Nianjun became a loner.
The Zhang family is not the kind of state of mind that does not leave people a way to live, even if Zhang Nianjun is swept out of the house, they give him enough money. Holding the 30,000 taels sent by the Zhang family and the 20,000 taels of silver tickets that Ni Junyao secretly stuffed to himself, Zhang Nianjun stood lonely on the bustling streets of the capital.
Next, he had to make a good plan to see how he would live in the capital with the money in his hand.
I have to say that Zhang Nianjun absolutely does not want to give up the prosperity of the capital, even if he has been swept away by the Zhang family, he has never thought of returning to the place where he should have been.
As for Sun Zhou, who came to his eyes from time to time during this time and wanted to be close to him, he ignored it. Because every time I saw him, I reminded myself that he should have been the son of a farmer in a remote small county town in the Apocalypse Dynasty.
Just like now, Zhang Nianjun is sitting in the box of the largest restaurant in the capital, eating delicacies and drinking elixir and jade liquid, but there is a cropper man in ordinary clothes and a frosty face standing in front of him, and he doesn't feel embarrassed at all.
"Nianjun, go back with me!" Sun Zhou opened his mouth to persuade, he didn't know how many times he had said this sentence during this time, although he was ruthlessly rejected by Zhang Nianjun every time, but he still did not give up.
"Go back? How many times do you have to say it before you understand? Zhang Nianjun looked at him drunken eyes, "I have nothing to do with you, don't try to get close to me!" There are many people like you who want to fight the autumn breeze by my side. ”
"But you're late, I've been swept out of the house by the Zhang family, and the silver in my hand will not be given to you again."
"Nianjun, I ......" Sun Zhou wanted to speak and stopped.
"What are you? Do you want to say that you and I are father and son? Bah! What bullshit father and son, who is rare and who wants it! If you're worth more than any powerful person I know, then I can still consider it~"
Sun Zhou wanted to take him back to Taikang Town, but it was not a day or two, but he listened to it as a joke every time.
Just kidding, he wouldn't go to such a backwood.
……
Fate is always like this, when Zhang Nianjun once again rejected Sun Zhou's proposal and drove him out, the elite circle in the capital actually knew about his illness.
When a few people who had a good personal relationship with him in the past looked at him with evasive eyes, the chord that Zhang Nianjun had been tense in his heart broke.
He has been careful to hide it from everyone, just because he is afraid that people will no longer interact with him after they find out.
Willow disease is an incurable disease, or an incurable disease that can be contagious. After knowing that he had this disease, who would dare to associate with him?
Gradually, Zhang Nianjun stopped going out because he was afraid of seeing everyone's disdainful eyes. If he needed anything, he also sent the servants he bought again after leaving the Zhang family to take care of it.
But even so, he could no longer live a peaceful life.
Around the house where he lived, all the neighbors united and protested to the yamen to let him move out.
