Chapter 404: Planning around Shenjiazhuang

She exchanged glances with Fu Xuanheng. "Xuanheng, look, there's a river here, which is also suitable for growing rice. I just checked the soil, and it's more fertile than the land in Baijia Village."

"How about we buy the vacant land nearby?"

Shen Yunyue was a little tempted to buy it. "Sure. I think this place can be turned into a resort."

"The nearby hills are full of pear trees."

"There are so many pear blossoms, let's build a distillery. Specializing in producing pear blossom wine."

"When pears are ripe, we can set up a workshop. We can make autumn pear paste and supply it to various medical clinics. We can also make canned autumn pears and sell them all over the country."

Fu Xuanheng nodded.

"I'll ask Ling Moxuan to come here and let him take care of these things."

Fu Xuanheng felt that this was Shen Yunyue's industry, so he did not let Rong Ting and others participate.

By then, pear blossom wine, autumn pear paste and canned autumn pears can be supplied to them.

Shen Yunyue thought this was a good idea.

There are many aristocratic families in Jinyang Prefecture, and people in the surrounding prefectures also like to read.

There are many aristocratic families.

Naturally, there are many people doing business, and the business atmosphere is more intense than other places.

Shen Yunyue asked Village Chief Shen. She was shocked when she asked. There was a lot of land around, but most of it was wasteland.

There are also wealthy people from surrounding counties who have bought land, but some do not manage it well.

It is said that the income from the farm is not enough to cover the capital.

"Xuan Heng, buy this piece of land and the entire hilltop." Shen Yunyue was delighted. "Let's turn this piece of land into a sea of ​​flowers and a holiday villa."

"I'll plant a few different flowers here in the future."

"Plant rice along the river banks and raise some rice fish in the rice fields."

"The winery, the nearby rivers and mountains can all be utilized." Shen Yunyue said this, and Fu Xuanheng wrote it all down.

When he writes to Ling Moxuan later, he must remind him to take these into consideration.

Just thinking about it, Fu Xuanheng felt that this place would be extremely beautiful in the future.

They stayed in Shenjiazhuang for about an incense stick of time.

Return to the local area from Shenjiazhuang.

An Yi and others have already packed up the tent.

The huge tent was condensed into a very small piece and tied to the backs of horses by An Yi and his men.

Lu Zhiling looked at them eagerly.

Who knows how much he wants to get close to her.

I was afraid of getting beaten, otherwise I would have stuck to him long ago.

"An Yi, come here."

An Yi came to Fu Xuanheng and Shen Yunyue, and the three of them stayed away from the others.

Lu Zhiling watched the three of them talking in low voices, and deliberately stretched his ears over to them, but heard nothing.

"Yingfeng, why is your master speaking so quietly?"

Yingfeng smiled and said, "I'm afraid someone might not realize it and eavesdrop."

Lu Zhiling: ...? You said I got it.

An Yi responded, "Young Madam, I haven't touched the silver notes on me yet." Before leaving, Shen Yunyue gave him five thousand taels of silver notes in case he needed to spend money along the way.

As the manager of the Fu family, An Yi has to ask for money even if he wants to spend a little money.

Shen Yunyue nodded when she heard this. Even a hill and a large piece of land in this place would not cost much silver.

"An Yi, reveal Rong Ting's name when necessary."

"Okay. I understand."

An Yi led the horse away.

"Let's go too." Shen Yunyue ordered everyone to get on the road.

The old lady who was near them was also preparing to set off, and it seemed that they wanted to travel together.

The old lady covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed for a while.

It feels like I'm coughing up my lungs.

"Mother."

The woman in the blue jacket had a worried look on her face. "Mother, it's freezing cold. Let's go find a doctor in the next city."

The old lady shook her head when she heard this. "You won't die. You'd better hurry home."

Shen Yunyue just glanced at it indifferently.

"Madam." The older woman in maroon looked at Shen Yunyue with an apologetic expression. She waited for Shen Yunyue to come over before speaking.

The men in this family look like they are not easy to mess with.

Shen Yunyue turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that you were heading to Jinyang Prefecture."

Shen Yunyue did not answer her, but just looked at her steadily and waited for her to continue.

"Can we follow you?" the woman in red clothes said hurriedly, "We are from the Chang family in Nan'an Prefecture near Jinyang Prefecture.

This is my mother, and this is my sister-in-law. It's a shame to say that I've lost quite a few servants along the way."

When she saw Shen Yunyue didn't say anything, she felt something was wrong.

I'd better continue talking.

"We won't hold you back. We also wanted to hire people from the escort agency in the previous city. But we heard that many escort agencies there have already colluded with bandits."

"So, we can give you silver."

Shen Yunyue lowered her eyes. The Chang family in Nan'an Prefecture was where Shen Cifang married.

Lu Zhiling glanced over indifferently.

Obviously he knew the Chang family.

"Okay, follow us." Shen Yunyue thought about it and felt that the Chang family that Lu Zhiling knew must be a well-known family in Nan'an Prefecture, and might be useful in the future.

She took out a white porcelain bottle from her purse.

"I have some cough medicine here. Would you like to buy two pills for one hundred taels of silver?"

The eldest lady of the Chang family: “……?” “Buy, buy, buy.”

She thought this was Shen Yunyue's disguised form of protection money.

In fact, Shen Yunyue didn't want to give the medicine for free, and she didn't like to hear Madam Chang coughing all the way.

Only then will I sell medicine to her.

"Let the old lady take one pill first. It's very effective." Shen Yunyue gave a special instruction after giving the medicine.

Mrs. Chang agreed readily.

But he didn't believe it in his heart and didn't dare to give the medicine to the old lady.

Everyone hurried on their way.

Lu Zhiling was determined to follow the Fu family. He had just opened his mouth when he was stopped by Fu Xuanheng.

"What you said is fine. We'll tell you the details when we get to the next place. We have to hurry now." Fu Xuanheng replied with disgust. He hadn't said a single useful word since last night.

Lu Zhiling had no choice but to follow behind with his nose pinched.

Shen Yunyue did not ride a horse and was still sitting in the carriage.

The weather is cold and windy.

Riding a horse made her face dry, so it was more comfortable to sit in a car.

Besides the Chang family, there was another group of people following behind. Those people were afraid of Fu Xuanheng's intimidating look, and suppressed their hearts that were about to make a move.

The old lady of the Chang family was sitting in the carriage.

In a hurry to catch up with the Fu family's carriage in front, they drove faster than usual.

The old lady started coughing again.

Mrs. Chang was so anxious that she said, "Chang Xiaotian, slow down."

The old lady waved her hands hurriedly, "Don't slow down, if you slow down any more we will have to make the journey on our own."

"Mother, but you are coughing like this..."

Madam Chang Er sighed, "Sister-in-law, the young lady sold us some pills. How about letting mother try them?"

"Nonsense. That's just an excuse to collect protection money from us."

"Can you take random medicine? How come my mother has cough medicine waiting for us just because she has a cough?"

"But they want fifty taels of silver per pill. Too expensive."

Mrs. Chang Er just smelled the medicine and felt refreshed, and it didn't seem like fake medicine.

"I don't think that young lady is someone who sells fake medicine. Maybe even they are experts and can't tell for sure."

Madam Chang's expression turned cold.

"Humph. I won't harm my mother."

Madam Chang Er: “?”

She also didn't want to harm the old lady. What good would it do to harm the old lady?

Madam Chang coughed again, her face turning purple and red. She pounded her chest with her hands, and the old maid who was serving her continued to massage her back.

"Old lady."

"Let me try that medicine. I'm trying my best to save the dying horse."

Old Madam Chang has been ill for more than a year.

I have seen doctors and taken medicine but there is no effect. Every time I try to suppress the symptoms, they are just getting a little bit better.

I still cough every day, and even have to cover my mouth and cough quietly when I sleep at night.

See this.

Mrs. Chang had no choice but to take out one pill.

He glared at the second wife fiercely.

She was angry that he brought this up, "If anything happens to mother, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Madam Chang Er: “……?”

"I'll take the responsibility." She took the pill and fed it to the old lady. "Mother, I fed you this medicine with my own hands today. If anything else happens, I'll accompany you."

"It has nothing to do with my child."

Madam Chang patted the back of her hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I can see how filial you two sisters-in-law are."

"I want to take this medicine."

"Hey, at least there's some medicine to help me suppress it. Even if it doesn't work, it's still my life."

After a while.

The old lady felt sleepy and lay down and fell asleep.

At noon everyone was on their way and no one stopped to eat.

In the afternoon.

The carriage stopped.

Yingfeng shouted, "Let's rest for half an hour." Their horses could bear it, but other people's horses couldn't.

Since she had agreed to let the Chang family follow, Shen Yunyue was still somewhat concerned about the Chang family's speed.
