Chapter 17 Youth and Responsibility

"The paintings and calligraphy on the upper floor are in good condition, and the lower ones are all adjusted. The little ones counted a hundred and three goods, and there were still ...... Thirty-one. ”

If something like this happens, it's unlikely that you'll want to go again. Chu Feng looked at the dazed shopkeeper Zhao, asked the opinions of Mr. and the teacher, and asked Fan Qiubai what he thought, so he went out with the usual money and rented the courtyard for one night.

After Lang Zhong arrived, he rubbed the middle of Zhao's shopkeeper, and took acupuncture again. After a while, Shopkeeper Zhao woke up. It's just that his eyes are sunken, as if he has lost weight in just a moment and a half.

opened his eyes in a daze, and the shopkeeper Zhao saw Fan Qiubai who was crying in front of the window at a glance, and felt a great pain in his heart for a while, and said in a dumb voice: "Little lady, I'm sorry for the Fan family......"

Only then did everyone realize that Shopkeeper Zhao had woken up, Fan Qiubai hurriedly wiped away his tears and came closer to take a look, and smiled comfortingly: "Don't say that, it's just some goods, nothing remarkable." The most important thing now is that you have to live and rest. Chu Langjun is right, I'm afraid this is a set that has been arranged by someone a long time ago, and it is useless for us to prevent it. And it's all already happened, and there's no point in thinking about it now. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao sighed deeply, and the old tears were rampant.

Everyone comforted them for a long time, and called Lang Zhong again to take a look.

"It's fine, it's just a little frightened for a while, just use a little medicine. Our farmer has some local medicine, but there is still a lack of rehmannia roots. There should be something ready in the pharmacy in the town to the west, and that Chu Langjun sent someone to buy it after noon, but he hasn't come back yet......"

"It's back! It's back! Rehmannia bought back! ”

Just at this time. A servant shouted outside.

"That's fine, I'll go boil the medicine!" Lang Zhong hurriedly got up. He also instructed, "What this shopkeeper Zhao needs most now is to have a good life and rest." If you're all right, let's leave. ”

"Yes, that's true. Shopkeeper Zhao, you don't have to worry too much about things here, although the old man has never done business, but the practice is somewhat clear, and the trivial matters can be handed over to Chu Lang to do. Hello, just rest in peace. Mr. Wen Duan patted the hand of the shopkeeper Zhao and smiled comfortingly.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you sir! Shopkeeper Zhao was grateful, and then looked at Chu Feng, who was standing on the side, and nodded.

Everyone withdrew one after another, only Fan Qiubai was worried about it. I only sat on the edge of the bed, and I was reluctant to leave for a while.

"Little lady, go and rest! Don't hurt yourself again because you're worried about me, then my sin will be even greater. Shopkeeper Zhao explained.

Fan Qiubai's eyes were red, he bit his lip, shook his head and said, "What Uncle Zhao said, you are like a relative and elder to me, and you should be on the side." ”

When Chu Feng heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and stepped forward to persuade: "Fan Niangzi." Shopkeeper Zhao naturally understands your mind. However, I said something unpleasant, you can't actually do anything if you stay here, and it will inevitably affect the rest of Shopkeeper Zhao. Such. Let Feibai stay and take care of Shopkeeper Zhao, once something happens here, Feibai can also notify you as soon as possible. Fan Niangzi. Do you think that's okay? ”

Fan Qiubai felt that this was indeed the case, and he was clumsy. Where will they serve? There's probably nothing else to be done here other than to add to the chaos. Come to think of it. couldn't help blushing and nodded shamefully.

Chu Feng smiled again: "What Fan Niangzi should do now is to help stabilize people's hearts." Because of the loss of calligraphy and painting, the shopkeeper Zhao fell ill, and everyone was inevitably panicked. Everyone was afraid that when they arrived in Tokyo, the owner would punish them severely. There are even people who are afraid that the Fan family will treat them as internal ghosts and send them to the official office. ”

"How so? Of course we won't! Fan Qiubai said eagerly, "Everyone has contributed to our Fan family, and some have even worked in the Fan family since their parents." They are like family to me, where is the reason to frame family members! ”

Chu Feng nodded and smiled: "But none of them know what Fan Niangzi thinks." So, I'm going to have to tire you to talk to everyone. ”

Fan Qiubai understood, and solemnly agreed: "Okay, Chu Langjun, you're right, I know what to do." Uncle Zhao, don't worry, take care of your illness, I have other things. Even if I don't understand, with the help of Mr. Lu and Chu Langjun, there will be no problem. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Chu Feng, then at Fan Qiubai, and nodded reassuringly: "Chu Langjun is an understanding person, with your help to watch, I will be relieved." Please also help me apologize to Mr. Lu and Mr. Cheng Yuan, I really can't take care of them along the way. Ay! This is happening again. ”

"Shopkeeper Zhao, don't worry. Mr. Wen Duan also often told me that the Lu family and the Fan family were originally world friends, not outsiders, so there was no need to be so polite. Chu Feng smiled and comforted a few words, and then led Fan Qiubai and the others out.

Feibai was beckoned outside by her, Fan Qiubai frowned and instructed deeply: "Feibai, no matter what, I have to put a close person next to Uncle Zhao, you are the most trustworthy and good at taking care of people among all these people." If anything happens here, you must let me know as soon as possible, and don't delay. If something really happens to Uncle Zhao, I'm afraid I'll blame myself for the rest of my life. ”

Feibai nodded heavily, held Fan Qiubai's hands and said, "Little lady, you can believe me!" ”

Chu Feng saw that the two of them were going down the sad road again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and chuckled: "Lang Zhong said it, but he was a little stunned under the shock, did it scare you like this?" Don't worry, it'll be fine. ”

Fan Qiubai pursed his lips, looked around, and lowered his voice: "Actually, I'm afraid that this countryman won't be able to see the symptoms well and delay the condition." ”

Chu Feng nodded slightly: "I have also thought about this matter, Fan Niangzi does not need to worry." ”

After that, Chu Feng summoned the servants outside the courtyard in and asked, "You just went to the town, can you ask clearly?" ”

This little servant was fifteen or sixteen years old, and he looked clever, and at this time he greeted Fan Qiubai first. Only then did he say: "Ask clearly!" I took the prescription opened by Na Lang Zhong and asked directly, and told Lang Zhong in the town about the situation of Zhao's shopkeeper in detail. Lang Zhong in the town said that Fang Zi is right for the symptoms, so there is no need to worry. And Lang Zhong in that town also said. The doctor in this village is a famous doctor in Shili and Eight Villages, and the prescriptions prescribed are all medicines to cure the disease, so we don't have to worry too much. ”

When Fan Qiubai heard this, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.

Chu Feng smiled and thanked him, and the little servant went quickly.

"It's still Chu Langjun who is thoughtful, and he has thought of these things." Fan Qiubai saluted Chu Feng with a blessing, blushing slightly, "If there is no Chu Langjun this time." I really don't know what to do anymore. ”

"Why should Mrs. Fan be polite. If it weren't for Fan Niangzi on the way, I wouldn't know how to enter Beijing! Chu Feng smiled and helped her up, and said to Feibai, "I'm afraid I'm going to be biased with Feibai girl these days." ”

Feibai coaxed his little lady to calm down when he saw Chu Feng's three or two sentences, and while he was grateful, some worries in his heart were also dissipated. She only felt as if as long as Chu Langjun was here, things would never be messed up.

Sticking out his tongue at Chu Feng, Feibai said briskly, "I'm going to take care of Shopkeeper Zhao." Then he jumped away like a breeze.

Fan Qiubai was no longer as worried as before, and chuckled: "Chu Langjun is right, now I want to help stabilize people's hearts." So, let's get everyone together now, right? ”

"Good. I'll arrange it for you. Chu Feng smiled slightly, sparsely sparse.

……

……

"Calling everyone over doesn't mean anything else. I actually...... I've never been in charge of my family's business. After all, it's just a female dependent, and she doesn't know much. It's inevitable to panic after encountering something. I will not tell you anything, but now I speak to you like this. I can't help but be a little nervous......"

"However, although I don't handle these businesses, after all, I am also a member of the Fan family, and I have heard of many things that I have never done. My father used to say, 'Walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet'. Loss or damage to goods, no matter what kind of business you do, is a very common thing, but you don't need to worry too much about it. ”

"The vigorous northward movement of more than 20 of us was originally a big event. It is also very common for trees to attract wind, and it is not uncommon to be targeted by someone occasionally. ”

"I know that everyone is an old man of the Fan family, even Yuan Erlang, who has the least qualifications, has been working in a store in Hangzhou for three years. Usually I'm in the back house, and it may not be easy for people to see me, but in fact, I know everyone well, like family. ”

"The reason why Shopkeeper Zhao can choose everyone to deliver goods to the north, instead of choosing other people, is naturally that there is a trust in it. I'm sure you all know that. Now that this incident has happened, some people may think that the Fan family will raise teachers to ask for guilt and send everyone to the official...... I just want to say that this is ridiculous. ”

"If you lose your calligraphy and paintings, you lose them, it's not a big deal. Actually, in my opinion...... Of course, my thoughts may be too little girl, and I don't know if you will laugh at me for saying these things. Anyway, I think it's better to lose it than to be robbed by robbers. Everybody didn't get hurt, and that's the best result. ”

"Don't worry. The top priority now is that Shopkeeper Zhao's injuries are getting better, and everything else is a trivial matter. ”

In the most spacious hall in the village, Fan Qiubai stood on the main seat, facing everyone, nervously and trying his best to say these words.

These words may be a little scattered, if they are heard by people who have really been in business for a long time, they will be green and funny, but for Fan Qiubai, this is already the best speech she can do.

Speech is indeed not a skill that can be trained overnight.

Fan Qiubai's face was flushed red from nervousness, and she wore a gauze skirt with large sleeves of soft silk draped over her shoulders. She stood there, green and astringent, almost cute and pitiful. But from this love, a bit of tenacity and stubbornness were born.

Chu Feng stood in the screen behind him, looking at the figure through the gap, and naturally captured Fan Qiubai's small fist clenched tightly in his sleeve, that kind of hard work and seriousness, which made him can't help but smile.

This kind of feeling is naturally not only felt by Chu Feng.

Everyone in the Fan family also felt the same.

They watched the sick little lady work so hard and tenacious, and listened to the little lady being able to call their names at will...... This kind of emotion is not something that ordinary people can give.

Fan Qiubai, who was standing opposite the crowd, could also feel that everyone's impetuous and turbulent mood began to gradually calm down. When everyone looked at themselves, they were no longer looking at themselves or afraid, but slowly relaxed.

Fan Qiubai felt an unprecedented ease and pleasure, which made her laugh from the bottom of her heart.

"It's okay, if you have any ideas, you can tell me. If there's anything you're worried about, you can also ask me. There's no need to be polite or scared of anything. Fan Qiubai said with a smile.

Chu Feng looked at the smile on Fan Qiubai's face, and also relaxed.

"In the end, everyone is beautiful, a little lady from the Fan family, different from ordinary women."

Mr. Wenduan's voice came from his ears.

Chu Feng looked back, and sure enough, he saw that Mr. Wen Duan was also following his example, looking out through the gap in the screen.

"Sir." Chu Feng said hello.

Mr. Wen Duan bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "Originally, I thought that I didn't have to come forward to appease a few words." Looks like I'm really overthinking. This lady of the Fan family handled it very well, although her words were full of loopholes, hehe, but it looked very effective. ”

Chu Feng couldn't help but smile and nodded: "The uncarved jade may look even more joyful." ”

"When encountering a big advance to stabilize people's hearts, this lady of the Fan family can think of this layer, and she will already be able to explain the problem." Mr. Wen Duan stroked his beard and said, "If anyone marries her in the future, there will really be more virtuous helpers in the family." ”

When he said the second half of the sentence, Mr. Wen Duan glanced at Chu Feng pointedly.

Although the idea of letting Fan Qiubai speak to everyone was Chu Feng's idea. But with Mr. Wen Duan's praise now, it is impossible for Chu Feng to run out to ask for credit. It's a trivial thing in the first place, and besides, this kind of credit is meaningless.

In terms of grasping the situation and arranging personnel, Chu Feng didn't feel that he was really better than Fan Qiubai. The reason why he was able to think of these things, buy medicine and ask for medical details, was just that as an outsider, he did not have the same nervousness and helplessness as the person concerned.

It's nothing.

At least, in Chu Feng's opinion, this is the case.

It is Fan Qiubai himself who really makes the actual meaning and value.

After all, it is indeed Fan Qiubai who has come forward to appease people's hearts and really calm down everyone's restless minds.

"Shopkeeper Zhao is fine, right?" Someone was the first to ask questions.

"What about the lost paintings and calligraphy? Do you want to send someone to find it? ”

"We're going to stay here for a few days......"

People began to look at Fan Qiubai with inquiring eyes, waiting for her reply. (To be continued.) )
