Chapter 25: Departure
Within two days, the news that Yan Niang rejected the Su family's relatives for Haitang spread in Lingjiang Town, and there were originally some people who wanted to get married, and they heard that Haitang had a fiancΓ© who had been set since childhood, so they gradually stopped thinking.
Yan Niang and the Yun family were worried, they rejected the Su family because the Su family's house was chaotic, and they just wanted to find a simple family for Haitang to marry. It's okay now, I lied and let Begonia fall to the point where no one cares.
Begonia is not the same thing, this is just right, she really doesn't want to get married, and no one comes to propose her to be happy. Yun Shi couldn't get used to her like this, and said angrily: "What is the way out for a woman not to marry, who will care about you when you are old and lonely?" β
Haitang smiled and comforted her, "I won't be lonely in the future, isn't there a full presence, I don't believe that we will ignore my aunt." β
"Don't talk to me, you and Yan Niang are unwilling to marry, do you expect to be full in the future? I think if it continues like this, it will be ruined by you. β
Seeing that the Yun family was talking and implicating herself, Yan Niang was a little helpless, "Aunt Yun, it's not that I don't want to get married, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to meet someone, now we're talking about Begonia, let's talk about my business later." β
Yan Niang's words were indeed reasonable, and Yun's mind returned to Begonia, "Begonia, I have always treated you as my biological daughter, you say, how can you be a mother who doesn't want her daughter to marry a good family, you don't agree with this and that, doesn't it make Godmother uncomfortable?" β
Of course, Haitang knew that the Yun family treated her like a mother and daughter, and since the family was broken, she never enjoyed the love of her family until she met Yan Niang and the Yun family. She was grateful to them, but she really didn't want to compromise on the marriage because she had more important things to do.
Yun couldn't persuade Haitang, so angry that he didn't care about her anymore, but he didn't expect Yan Niang to come to her in a panic on the second day, saying that Haitang left a letter and left.
Yun was stunned all of a sudden, she thought that she had said something heavy yesterday, and the little girl couldn't stand it and ran away from home. But after reading the letter left by Begonia, I felt that things were not so simple.
Haitang confessed her life experience in the letter, saying that she was the youngest daughter of a small official family in the capital, her father was implicated in the rebellion of the king and lost his life, and her mother and brother were also burned to death in the house.
Haitang also wrote in the letter: Godmother, Sister Yan Niang, I didn't want to come back alive when I went to the capital this time, you should not have such a person as Begonia, and only said that I went to the capital to get married. In order to thank you for taking care of you over the years, I have divided the shares of Xinyanfang into two shares, and you each have a fifty percent. I also transcribed the recipe for the ointment, and put it in the wooden box at the head of my bed, and you just have to follow the recipe for the ointment. Also, I learned that the Su family is applying ointment prescriptions, you must strengthen your precautions and don't be taken advantage of.
Seeing this, Yan Niang and Yun couldn't cry anymore, and Yun cried: "How can she be so ruthless, just leave, and don't say hello to her family, what if something happens to her alone in the capital?" No, I'm going to write to Da Lang and ask him to help me find it. β
Yan Niang had already calmed down at this time, and she said: "Aunt Yun, don't write a letter yet, I don't think Begonia has gone far yet, we should be able to catch up now." β
Yun nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, let's chase it now." Then he hurriedly went to the next door to ask Jiang's mother to borrow a carriage.
The carriage of the Jiang family is dedicated to Jiang Yucheng, and today he happened to be at home, and after hearing about it, he personally drove the carriage to take them to chase people.
It was important to find someone, Yan Niang and the Yun family couldn't care about being polite to him, Jiang Yucheng drove the carriage all the way down the official road, and only slowed down when he arrived at the ferry.
To go from Yucheng County to the capital, you can only take a boat from the ferry port at the junction of Yucheng County and Kuangzhou County, and then take the overland route north in Weizhou. It's just that Yan Niang misestimated Haitang's thoughts, she did take a boat at the ferry, but she didn't go to Weizhou, but went around a big circle to Quanyang, and stayed in Quanyang for half a month before taking a boat to the capital.
Unable to recover Begonia, Yan Niang and Yun could only go home disappointed, both of them prayed in their hearts, hoping that Begonia would be safe.
After Haitang left, only Yan Niang's mother and daughter were left in the family, and the family was inevitably a little empty, and the business of Xinyanfang still needed Yan Niang to take care of.
Yang Niangzi is also a hard-working person, she lost her husband less than a year after marriage, she was pregnant with Liujia at that time, and her in-laws were looking forward to her being a son in her belly, but who knew that she was born a daughter. Yang Niangzi's mother-in-law felt that Yang Niangzi's mother and daughter had killed their son, and it had become commonplace to beat and abuse them on weekdays, a few days ago, Yang Niangzi's mother-in-law wanted to sell Yang Niangzi's daughter to Ren Yazi, if it weren't for Yang Niangzi to find the elders in the clan to intercede, she would have almost succeeded.
Her daughter was almost sold, Yang Niangzi couldn't swallow her anger anymore, Tuowu Niangzi found her a job in the town, and it happened that Yan Niang needed to hire someone here, so Wu Niangzi became a middle-aged person.
After seeing Yang Niangzi, Yan Niang couldn't believe her eyes, Yang Niangzi was a few years younger than Wu Niangzi, but her face was old, the two cousins stood together, saying that Yang Niangzi was like Wu Niangzi's elders, and some people believed it.
Facing Yan Niang's scrutiny, Yang Niangzi was so restrained that she didn't even know where to put her hand, Yan Niang looked away when she saw this and looked at her daughter Yaya. Yaya is thirteen years old this year, thin and dark, wearing a blue-black coarse cloth clothes, looking a little old-fashioned. She lowered her head, and the movement of constantly curling the corners of her clothes revealed the uneasiness and tension in her heart at the moment.
Looking at the appearance of the mother and daughter, Yan Niang couldn't help but feel pity. If she hadn't reconciled with Ling Jiming at the beginning, or hadn't taken Manman with her, maybe Manman would be another girl more than ten years later.
Yang Niangzi and Yaya's mother and daughter are very diligent, since they came, Yan Niang no longer cares about trivial things at home.
Xinyanfang's business is getting better and better, Yan Niang and Yun Huihui can't be busy at all, after she and the Yun family combined, they decided to ask another person to help, but there was no suitable candidate for a while, and Yan Niang and the Yun family also made difficulties.
On this day, Yun casually said in front of her husband, and Dr. Liu said: "Inviting people outside is not as reliable as your own people, according to me, it is better to pick two diligent students to train." β
Yun felt very reasonable when he heard this, and told Yan Niang about this proposal, and Yan Niang also agreed. Since Begonia left, she has spent almost every day in the shop, and most of the time she spends with her daughter has been reduced. After the two discussed and decided, they immediately invited Ya Po to come to the door and bought two diligent and clever little girls, who were responsible for greeting guests in the shop.
On the other side, after Mrs. Su learned that Begonia had left Lingjiang Town, she said to Mama Su: "Then Begonia is gone, will Fang Zi also be taken away?" β
Mama Su shook her head: "It shouldn't be, the ointment prescriptions of Xinyanfang are all the ancestral ointments of the Yun family, how can a little girl be easily taken away." β
Mrs. Su said again: "Begonia is the goddaughter of the Yun family in the end, as long as anyone in Lingjiang Town has eyes, they can see that the Yun family really treats that girl as their own daughter." β
Mama Su hesitated for a moment, "Why don't we send a letter to the eldest young master in the capital?" β
Mrs. Su nodded, "It's okay, let Yun'er investigate, if there is a plaster on Haitang, just think about it, and we don't have to do it." β
After making up her mind, Mrs. Su immediately sent a letter to her eldest son, Su Yun, in which she praised and praised the efficacy of Xinyanfang's ointment, and asked him to find a way to get the ointment.
After Su Yun received his mother's letter, he became very interested in the anointing formula, if the effect of this anointing prescription was really as his mother said, the Su family's business in the capital would be on the next level.
It's just that the capital is so big, to find a little girl who has just entered Beijing is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, Su Yun had to tell her mother the truth after searching in the capital for a few months without success.
Su Yun didn't get the anointing prescription, Mrs. Su was ready to attack Xinyanfang, she spent a lot of money to buy Yun Huihui, who knew that Yun Huihui turned her head and betrayed her, Yun and Yan Niang learned that the kind and charitable Mrs. Su was actually working on the idea of the anointing party, and they couldn't believe it for a while.
When Yun Huihui put the gold bracelet and a large bag of silver given to her by Mama Su in front of the two of them, Yun was suddenly annoyed: What a Mrs. Su, I didn't even see that she still had this thought. β
Yan Niang persuaded: "The husband is not guilty of his crimes, presumably it must be the business of Xinyanfang that has made her red." Fortunately, Huihui told the truth as it was, and since we knew what she was doing, we must not let her succeed. β
Yun nodded, "Huihui is a good one, otherwise I wouldn't have asked her to come to Xinyanfang to help." β
Yan Niang said: "In the past two years, Huihui has learned a lot from Haitang, and I don't like to take care of things with you, so I thought that I would let Huihui take the errand of the shopkeeper, and in the future, Xinyanfang will also be taken care of by her." β
Yun pondered for a while and felt that this method was feasible. So he called Yun Huihui and told her about it. Yun Huihui was overjoyed, and promised on the spot that she would do a good job.
Next, the Yun family discussed with her Yan Niang, since Mrs. Su was fighting the idea of the anointing party, they might as well decide to make a plan, not only to make Mrs. Su suffer a dumb loss, but also to reveal the true face of her hypocrisy.
In order to get the anointing prescription, Mrs. Su paid attention to the movements of Xinyanfang every day. On this day, Yun Huihui hurriedly came out of the shop after closing in Xinyanfang, and looked carefully at her with a trace of panic on her face.
Today is the day when she made an appointment to meet Mama Su, and for the sake of safety, Mama Su waited in an alley not far from Xinyanfang as soon as she arrived.
The alley chosen by Mama Su was very remote, and Yun Huihui almost didn't see anyone all the way, she squeezed the purse hanging from her waist tightly, as if it contained some great treasure.
When Mama Su saw her, her eyes first fell on the purse, "Did you get the thing?" β
Yun Huihui nodded nervously, and hurriedly untied the purse and handed it over.
Mama Su couldn't wait to open her purse and take a look, and saw that there was indeed a stack of paper inside, but she couldn't read, so she had to take it back to Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su took out the ointment prescription one by one and looked at it, and asked Mama Su to go to her own pharmacy to prepare all the medicinal materials, and after trying it for a few days, she finally made a box of freckle removal ointment.
She compared the newly made ointment with the ointment she bought from Xinyanfang, and there was no difference in smell and color, and even the face had a warm feeling.
Mrs. Su was overjoyed: "It's really done now." β
Mama Su was also happy for her master.
Mrs. Su was happy for a while, and said, "Mama, prepare pen and ink, I want to send a letter to Yun'er." β
Mama Su hurriedly responded.
Mrs. Su didn't plan to open a shop in Lingjiang Town, but intended to be in the capital. Since Su Yuanwai donated a vacant position of a foreigner, the Su family's wealth has been reduced by half, and Su Yuanwai and Mrs. Su let their eldest son Su Yun go to the capital to do business.
Mrs. Su didn't want Su Yuanwai to know about the anointing formula, so she only instructed Su Yun in the letter not to use people from the Su family, but only to use her or Su Yun's wife's dowry.
