Chapter 144: The Fellow Is Coming
Since the Chang family quietly left Kyoto City, the small restaurant of Shen Pomegranate has completely stopped, no one has come to buy the formula, and no one has come to dig the foot of the wall. Du Xuanmo also guessed what the people behind those big restaurants thought, and he was happy to let people misunderstand like this.
Du Xuanmo's letter was sent to Anyang County, one for his father-in-law and one for Han Shuliang.
After Han Shuliang received the letter, he hesitated, Kyoto City was too far away, and it would take half a month to go back and forth at the earliest, and he still had a seriously ill wife to take care of at home, and he couldn't leave.
"Xianggong, you go, my body is not getting better, and you will delay you if you stay." Guan Rongrong said with a pale face.
Han Shu's conscience is bitter, Guan Rongrong is seriously ill now, and her body deteriorates as soon as she enters the summer, Lang Zhong has seen it, and in the end he just shook his head.
"There is nothing to delay or delay, wait until you are well recuperated." Han Shuliang said.
Guan Rongrong smiled bitterly: "No matter how difficult it is to raise your body, my mother-in-law came over today and said that she wants to take you a concubine, I think it is indeed right." ”
As soon as the Qian family was mentioned, Han Shuliang's face turned dark, if it weren't for the Qian family's three days and two days of Zhang Luo giving him a concubine, Guan Rongrong's body would not be worse day by day.
It is understandable that his mother wants to hold her grandson earlier, but it is too mean and ruthless to force Guan Rongrong like this.
"Don't listen to my mother's words, I won't take a concubine." Han Shuliang said.
Guan Rongrong smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that if I'm gone, no one will take care of you." "Han Shuliang also took care of her a lot, and she felt guilty that she really didn't fulfill her responsibilities as a wife.
Han Shuliang sighed: "Don't say anything like that, the recipe that the pomegranate gave you before was so good, why did you suddenly stop eating?" ”
"My mother said that the shops in the county town can't buy a few flavors of medicine, and those medicines are also expensive, so I can't get better anyway, why waste a lot of money?" Guan Rongrong said.
Han Shuliang thought about it, and finally hesitated: "I want to take you to Kyoto City, are you willing?" ”
Guan Rongrong was stunned for a moment and asked, "What about Daddy?" Daddy wouldn't want to leave here. "After all, it's a place where I've lived for decades.
"They can still be here, I'll take you to Kyoto City, there are good doctors and medicinal herbs there, and they will definitely be able to cure you!" Han Shuliang said: "And I will transport grain in the future, and there are many opportunities to return to Anyang County, and I can take care of both sides." ”
Guan Rongrong thought about it, let's not talk about whether the disease can be cured or not, but if she can get out of the control of Qian's mother-in-law, even if she can't be cured, she can live a comfortable life before she dies, and finally nodded: "I listen to Xianggong, but we went to Kyoto City, where do we live?" ”
"If you can always find a place to live, go to the guest house first, or rent a small courtyard." Han Shuliang said that now he also has some savings, and he can solve many problems with silver.
Guan Rongrong agreed: "It doesn't have to be big, as long as it can live in people." ”
After the young couple finished discussing, Han Shuliang went to discuss with his parents.
Han Laofu'er didn't say anything first, but Qian objected: "Go so far? No way! You're gone, who will take care of you at home? ”
"I'll give it to the post house for my family's use." Han Shuliang said.
Qian asked, "What about your daughter-in-law?" I'm really unlucky, my daughter-in-law can't take care of the elderly, not to mention, I want us to take care of her in turn! ”
Han Shuliang heard Qian say this, so he retorted: "When I married Rong Rong and entered the door, my mother was willing to do it, but now I dislike her for not being in good health, what does my mother want?" ”
Qian's language stopper, at the beginning, he saw that Guan Rongrong looked good, and knew poetry and books, and he was much stronger than these local girls in the village.
"Who knew she was a medicine jar!" Qian muttered.
Han Laofu'er spoke at this time: "If everything is good, do you think people can look up to a family like us?" "At that time, the reputation of the Han family in the village was so stinky and sad that even the village aunt would not marry, and at that time, the Han family still had foreign debts that had not been repaid, who wanted to marry?
Although Han Shu's conscience was unhappy, Qian was his mother after all, and he was not directly responsible.
"Rong Rong's illness may be cured if she goes to Kyoto City." Han Shuliang said.
The boss of the Qian family was unhappy: "In order to cure her illness, so much money has been spent, and it is enough to add one piece and two concubines!" ”
"Mother!" Han Shuliang couldn't bear it anymore, and Han Lao Fu'er also said: "Lady, mother, how can you say that!" ”
Qian also knew that he had lost his words, and he stopped talking after that.
Han Shuliang prepared for a few days, mainly because Guan Rongrong was not in good health, and he was afraid that she would be seriously ill on the way to Kyoto City.
Guan Rongrong is in a much better mood, she has never been to Kyoto City.
Han Shuliang felt that going to Kyoto City was also an opportunity, the food disaster in Fengyang County this year had passed, and the demand had been greatly reduced. Not only did he relieve his urgency, but also the anxiety of those chariots, horses and grain merchants, and many people relied on selling grain to eat.
After Han Shuliang was ready, he went to the Shen family first, and now Shen Shu has all his sons.
Shen Shu also wrote the letter here, originally to send it to the post house, but he didn't expect Han Shuliang to go to Kyoto City as well.
"I didn't expect you to go to Kyoto City too, in that case, you can help bring this letter, my mother is always afraid that the people in the post house will be careless and lose the letter!" Shen Shu said, Shen Pomegranate has been gone for a long time, everything is fine at home now, but he is worried about whether Shen Pomegranate is doing well, and every time he writes to say that he is good, no one knows whether he is good or not.
Han Shuliang received the letter, Shen Shu asked Han Shuliang not to leave first, and as soon as the Zheng family heard that Han Shuliang was also going to the capital, he hurried to work, and finally prepared a lot of things for Han Shuliang to bring.
"Mother, this is too much!" Shen Shu smiled bitterly, they were all some specialties, and Zheng made a big sack.
"It's okay, not much!" Han Shuliang said with a smile.
Zheng was also a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you for your hard work! "There are really not many opportunities, and this time I seized the opportunity and wanted to get a car with me.
After Han Shuliang was ready, he set off directly with Guan Rongrong, and there were many people who came to practice, most of whom were also acquaintances in business. Everyone is waiting for Han Shuliang's good news, if Han Shuliang can do business in Kyoto City, then they can also make money together.
Shen Shimei has been waiting for news from Anyang County, and Han Shuliang is estimated to make a lot of money if he agrees to do a big vote. Although it is hard, if it is not hard, everyone will do it, and it will not be their turn to earn money!
Du Xuanmo was promoted by the emperor to be a member of the Ministry of Rites because of the good handling of the case of the three princes, and now he has real power in his hands from the official rank of the fifth rank.
"Have a big dinner in the evening and celebrate your promotion!" Shen Shiliu was happy, Du Xuanmo was promoted, and she also borrowed the light to become Mrs. Commandment, although it was only from the five-grade Lady Decree without great pomp, but the Internal Affairs Office even sent her official clothes, which was already very face-saving.
Du Xuanmo smiled, Shen Shimei was a little cheap and could be happy for a few days, her wife was relatively marginal, and she also felt that she had picked up a big bargain.
"I want to eat dumplings today!" Du Xuanmo felt that he was suspected of being coquettish.
"Do! Just eat dumplings! Shen Pomegranate said and hurriedly chopped the stuffing with the noodles, Du Xuanmo likes to eat cabbage meat the most!
In the evening, when everyone was about to have dinner, someone outside knocked on the door, and it was the end of the restaurant. Zheng Erzhu went to open the door, and after a while, Han Shuliang appeared in front of everyone.
"Brother Shuliang?" Shen Shiliu shouted, surprised how Han Shuliang would come in person.
Han Shuliang smiled: "When I received Brother Du's letter, I happened to bring my inner family to Kyoto City to take a look at the disease." ”
"Sister-in-law is here too? What about people? As soon as Shen Shiliu heard that Guan Rongrong was also coming, he got up and went out to greet people.
Du Xuanmo said with a smile: "I thought that Brother Han would have to think more about writing for a while before he didn't reply. ”
"I also thought about what I said in the letter, and decided to do this business with Pomegranate." Han Shuliang said.
Shen Shiliu brought Guan Rongrong in, and when he saw that Han Shuliang was still standing, he hurriedly beckoned him to sit down.
"It's just the right time, sit down and eat together!" Shen Shiliu said.
Han Shuliang shook his head: "I can't eat it, we just came to Kyoto City, and we need to find an inn to settle down." ”
When Shen Shiliu heard this, he didn't let him go: "What inn are you looking for, we still have a yard to live in, how can you go to the inn!" ”
Guan Rongrong knew Shen Shimei's good intentions, so she looked at Han Shuliang. Han Shuliang was also afraid that Guan Rongrong would not be able to stand such a toss back and forth, so he said: "Then I will spend the night first, and then leave tomorrow at dawn." ”
"Tomorrow, let's sit down and eat first!" Shen Shiliu said.
Han Shuliang handed over the things that the Shen family brought to Shen Pomegranate to Shen Pomegranate, and Shen Pomegranate opened a package of dried wild mushrooms from his hometown and felt a little homesick.
Everyone sat down to eat first, and after eating, Shen Shiliu took the cucumber Xiaotie to buy some things for Han Shuliang's yard, and then let Han Shuliang and his family rest first.
Shen Shiliu returned to the room, he was very happy, although the fellow did not have tears in his eyes, but he was always happy.
"You're happy?" Du Xuanmo began to be jealous, and originally said that he would celebrate his official dinner, but it directly became a reception banquet for others, and no one cared about him.
"Well, my mother brought a lot of things, and letters!" Shen Pomegranate happily unpacked the package, which not only contained sun-dried mushrooms, but also sorghum peanuts grown locally in Anyang County.
Du Xuanmo smiled, Shen Pomegranate was just something brought by Happy Mother's family.
Shen Shiliu put everything away before opening the letter and looking at it slowly, and said while reading: "My sister-in-law gave birth to a son for my brother, and I have a nephew!" ”
"We'll be born in a few years!" Du Xuanmo said with a smile, when Du Xuanmo is a little older, his body will be a little richer.
Shen Shiliu looked at Du Xuanmo and smiled, and then said, "I want Brother Shuliang and sister-in-law to live in our house first." ”
When Du Xuanmo heard this, he thought about it.
