Chapter 224: Back to Qingtang County
Early the next morning, the two set off, and the two of them should have explained, and they should say goodbye, and she is now full of thoughts about her home.
The weather is good, Hu Man doesn't want to be stuffy in the carriage alone, and he also sits outside, he originally wanted to hire a coachman, but Yezhi said that he could catch the car, and it was inconvenient to find a man.
Hu Man thought that Yezhi would be depressed for two days, but she didn't expect her to be in a good mood, Hu Manquan was relaxed when she made a decision, talking and laughing all the way, and the two of them were not too boring.
Because when he came, he was on this road, Hu Man was quite familiar, how far away, and basically remembered those places, and yesterday he also specially planned it, where to stay, where there is no inn and can not hurry, so as not to have no place to live last time, to the broken temple encountered an incident.
It was like this that he stopped and stopped until the seventh day before he finally arrived in Qingtang County: "Miss, this is your hometown?" ”
Hu Man's neck shrank into the collar, this is really two heavens of ice and fire, the more you go back, the more clothes you add, back to Qingtang County, this dress has basically been changed into winter clothes!
"Well, let's move on! Not far off. Hu Man was still a little excited, after all, he hadn't seen them for a long time, and he really missed them.
Hu Man pointed the way and went straight to Wu Mansion, the gate of Wu Mansion was wide open, and the people inside were in and out, Hu Man twisted his eyebrows and looked at it, all of them were fresh faces.
"Miss, is this moving?" Ye Zhi got out of the carriage: "Can we get in?"
Hu Man jumped down: "Go!" Check it out! ”
But as soon as I walked to the door, two people came out carrying the cabinet, and when they saw two beautiful girls, they smiled unconsciously: "Who are the two young ladies looking for?"
"What are you doing here?" Hu Man asked rhetorically.
"Let's move!"
"Yezhi, let's go in!" Hu Man didn't have time to ink with them, so he went around and went to the yard, sure enough, the originally neat yard was full of furniture, Hu Man went directly to the lobby, and saw Wu Hua and Wu Qing at a glance, the two of them didn't look good, and they were talking to the person opposite.
"Wu Qing! Painting? Hu Man trotted in with some excitement.
"Big, sister-in-law?" Wu Qing and Wu Hua turned around at the same time, looking at Hu Man who suddenly appeared in shock.
"Vines! You're back! Wu Hua was even more excited, and she couldn't help but rush over and hug Hu Man: "You actually ran back?!" They were still waiting for Hu Man's letter, but they didn't expect her to come back in person!
"What's going on? Are you moving? Hu Man was surprised.
"No, it's the creditor who comes to collect the house." Wu Qingdao, his tone was full of gloom.
Hu Man twisted his eyebrows: "Didn't you say last time that there was still a difference of six thousand taels?" ”
"Well, but now, the store is almost sold, and it has only returned another two thousand taels. This house is probably worth a few hundred taels. ”
Hu Man sighed lightly, pulled her into the lobby, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him: "How much silver do you owe?" ”
The man was stunned: "Who are you?" ”
"I'm his sister-in-law! Say, how much do I owe you? Hu Man took the burden handed over by Ye Zhi.
"One thousand eight hundred taels!"
Hu Man nodded, took out a silver ticket of 1,800 taels and handed it over: "Bring the IOU and let your people go!" We're not moving! ”
It's easy to talk if you have money, the man took the money and left an IOU, and took the person away, Hu Man looked at the mess in the courtyard of the house: "How do you get this?" Could it be that even the subordinates were dismissed? ”
Wu Hua bit his lip and nodded: "There's really no way, otherwise, I won't tell you." ”
Hu Man patted her hand: "What do you say?" We're family, and we should have told me something! If I had said it earlier, I wouldn't have had to go to this field. ”
A few people sat down, and then they had time to ask: "...... is this girl?"
"Her name is Yezhi, and she is very skilled, thanks to her for protecting me." Hu Man also pulled Ye Zhi to sit down: "This is Wu Zhan's second brother, called Wu Qing, and this is his daughter-in-law, called Wu Hua." ”
Ye Zhi nodded respectfully: "The second young master is good, the second lady is good." ”
Wu Hua nodded politely, and immediately took Hu Man's hand: "Manman, do you need someone to follow you to protect?" Are you in danger in Changling? ”
"There are dangers, but it's not as scary as you think, so don't be nervous."
Wu Qing looked outside: "Big brother didn't come back with you?" ”
Hu Man paused and sighed lightly: "It is said that Southern Xinjiang is already preparing for war, and Wu Zhan is now a third-grade general, and he just went to Biansai a few days ago." ”
"What?!" Wu Qing stood up excitedly: "Big brother went to war?" How does this work? Fight... How dangerous it is to fight! ”
"You think I'm willing? His official was promoted by the emperor himself, and if he doesn't go, he can't do it! Hu Man pouted: "And he also thinks that it is the best way to make a contribution, anyway, it is like this now, I just hope that he can come back safely, by the way, what about Master Wu?" Out? ”
Wu Hua's eyes turned red: "Lying in the house!" Very sick. ”
"Sick?" Hu Man got up: "Go!" Check it out! ”
A few people went to Wu Qingshui's room, as soon as the door was opened, there was a strong smell of medicine, Hu Man walked a few steps quickly to the bed, Wu Qingshui was lying covered with a quilt, the stove in the room was very warm, but he seemed to be still trembling, his face was blue, Wu Qingshui was not fat, and then Hu Man gave him a better prescription to recuperate, and now he looks at it, it is worse than before, it is simply skinny!
He slept groggyly, and there was no reaction when someone came in, Hu Man sat down to check his pulse, the pulse was very weak, and it was extremely unstable, as if it was already very bad, Hu Man frowned: "What the hell is going on?" Wasn't it okay before I left? ”
Wu Hua squatted in front of the bed, grabbed Wu Qingshui's hand, and tears fell down: "It was originally very good, but because of the business accident, the business that he had worked hard for half his life collapsed, and people kept coming to collect debts, the Wu family's business plummeted, my father couldn't bear it, and he fell ill, so it has been like this, and he has found a lot of doctors, but to no avail." ”
"Sister-in-law, how is it? Can you cure it? Wu Qing hurriedly asked.
Hu Man pursed his lips: "It's been a little too long, my body is very weak, I can only do my best." ”
Hearing Hu Man say this, Wu Hua's body was unstable and almost fell, Wu Qing quickly helped her up: "Painting." ”
"Don't, I don't want something to happen to my father!" Wu Hua choked up: "What should I do!" I'm not even sure about the vines, Dad, what if Dad has three long and two short? ”
Wu Qing hugged her in his arms: "Maybe it'll be fine, aren't you worried about your sister-in-law's medical skills?" ”
Hu Man hurriedly said: "Wu Qing, don't blindly give her hope, I'm really not sure, in short, you have to prepare for the worst and be mentally prepared." ”
"Is it really that serious?" Wu Qing frowned: "Father-in-law, he was obviously very energetic before. ”
"The spirit is only superficial." Hu Man motioned for a few people to go out and speak: "Master Wu was in poor health before, after so many blows, suppression, stimulation, and pressure on his brain, all the discomfort in his body broke out together, and his body collapsed." ”
Wu Hua cried painfully in Wu Qing's arms, she complained about her father for many years, and finally after a few days of comfortable life, she was not filial enough to accompany her, and her father suddenly fell.
"Cheer up." Hu Man wiped his tears from Wu Hua: "I will do my best, you can't be idle, I got the money back, and I will pay it back if I owe the rest." ”
"It's... That's too much. Although she is a family, she still can't help but feel sorry for so much money: "You must be very difficult in Changling." ”
Hu Man stuffed it into her hand: "Fortunately, Changling has a lot of rich people after all, and the place is also big, and it earns more money than Qingtang County, isn't it just for me to come back for this!" ”
Wu Hua nodded gratefully: "Thank you." "Although they will be a family sooner or later, it is said that between brothers, the money is also very clear, how rare it is for Hu Man to take out so much money without blinking an eye.
"Okay, I'll leave the matter of repaying the money to you, I'll go find Yu Shuyan, this bastard!" Hu Man exhaled: "I'll talk about other things when I come back in the evening!" ”
Wu Hua nodded: "I'll ask someone to clean up your room." ”
Hu Man and Ye Zhi walked out of the house and walked to Yu Yuan's Restaurant, looking at the familiar road with emotion, but they didn't expect that after walking for a few months, there were some things that were wrong.
"Is this it?" Ye Zhi looked at the restaurant in front of her, she was used to staying in Manxiangju, and felt that this comparison was really a bit shabby.
"Well, Hu Man took a deep breath, thinking that his first pot of gold was earned from here, and he still had some feelings, but since she came to Qingtang County, he and Yu Shuyan have become more and more weird at some point, he is not like the man who just met him who was a little shrewd but downright, and he can no longer communicate with him calmly.
The two entered the restaurant, and the guys seemed to have changed a few, none of them were known to Hu Man, a guy came up to ask, and Hu Man said directly: "Is Yu Shuyan here?" ”
"Oh, the boss is out, why don't you wait a while!"
"Okay, some refreshments." Hu Man sat down and looked at the restaurant, it was not yet noon, there were no guests, but the inside was renovated, it seems that it has been mixed very well recently!
"Really? I'll just say they won't last long, haha! ”
Suddenly heard a familiar voice, suddenly looked towards the door, and sure enough, Yu Shuyan and Lin Qianqian walked in together, Lin Qianqian looked very happy with a smile on her face.
The cup in Hu Man's hand slammed down, and half a cup of tea was splashed, which aroused the idea of the two of them in the quiet restaurant, and they all turned their heads to look over.
"Hu Man?" Lin Qianqian took a closer look and exclaimed, "How could it be you?" "It may be the sequelae of the past, and I always feel a little flustered when I see Hu Man.
"You're back?" Yu Shuyan was shocked at first, and then greeted him with a look of surprise: "When did you come back?" ”
Hu Man looked at him with a sneer: "Isn't this what you are looking forward to?" Yu Shuyan, I thought you would be weak-hearted! I didn't expect you to be able to laugh so cheekily when you saw me! ”
