Chapter 370 There is still a long way to go
Master Cheng smiled and shook his head: "Are you not going to let me rest?"
"It's nice to be surrounded by children and grandchildren. Life is long."
After chatting with her for a while, Mr. Cheng became a little listless.
Wen Zhenyi asked him to have a good rest and come to see him again when he is free.
Butler Cheng sent Wen Zhenyi out and said, "Miss Wen, if you have time, please come and see the master more often. He has not been in good health since his last illness."
"I know. Let your young master spend more time with him. If you can put some business aside, then give it up. Nothing is more important than family."
"I know." Butler Cheng also felt bad.
When Wen Zhenyi left the Cheng Mansion, she could clearly feel that there was something wrong with Mr. Cheng's health, but she was powerless to do anything. There was no advanced medical technology here, and she herself did not understand medicine.
"Miss Wen."
Wen Zhenyi turned her head to look to the side and found that Shi Xuan had walked up to her side without her knowing when: "Come to see Uncle Biaozi?"
"Well, it saves him from complaining that I don't come to see him. Is there something on your mind?"
"Not really, I just went to see Master Cheng and he didn't seem well."
"Master Cheng?"
"He seems to have been in poor health since his last illness."
"Wan Langzhong's medical skills are very good."
Wen Zhenyi knew what Shi Xuan meant. If Doctor Wan couldn't help, it might be difficult to turn the situation around. "Shi Xuan, what are your plans for the future?"
"I want to be Uncle Biaozi's adopted son."
"I think he'd be very happy."
"But I have no intention of inheriting his fortune."
Wen Zhenyi laughed and said, "He has quite a bit of wealth. If you don't inherit it, I'm afraid you won't feel comfortable handing it over to someone else in the future."
Shi Xuan shrugged: "You know I'm not interested in this. Even if I take over, I'm afraid it will be a mess. It's better to hand it over to someone more suitable."
"You're not unreasonable. Do you plan to stay in a private school and teach medicine for the rest of your life?"
"If you could give me a shop, I'd be happy to open a medicine furnace."
Wen Zhenyi raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "You have been eyeing my shop for a long time."
"I just like Xinglin Village."
"Okay, there are a lot of empty shops here, go pick one out for yourself."
"Thank you very much."
When passing by the town government office, he happened to see people coming to pay taxes.
Although taxes will not be reduced this year, everyone does not have to worry about not having enough to eat because they grow a lot of vegetables, sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Besides, Wen Zhenyi’s workshop collects these things, so this production reduction did not have much impact on everyone.
This is also what Mayor Meng is happy to see. For him, the best thing is that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
After the autumn harvest, winter came, and Wen Zhenyi did not receive any letters from Axiang and Shen Hanxing.
Although I was worried, I didn't show it and continued to do what I was supposed to do every day.
The emergence of vermicelli and bacon and sausages has also been welcomed by the people.
After Song Yi knew the function of vermicelli, she cleared out her stock and sent it to the north at once, including sausages, bacon, pickled peppers, fermented tofu and other pickles.
Cheng Lesheng didn't have much opinion on this. He now tried to reduce business matters as much as possible and stay at home with Master Cheng.
When they had nothing to do, they would go to the workshop in Xinglin Village, ostensibly to take a look, but actually to inquire about Axiang's situation.
Wen Zhenyi saw that Cheng Lesheng had become much quieter recently, as if he had grown from a child into an adult. "Do you want to ask about Axiang's news?"
Cheng Lesheng didn't hide it: "Yeah. No news about her yet?"
“No news is the best news.”
"Maybe."
"Your father has looked much better recently."
"It's sometimes good and sometimes bad. I'm a little worried." Cheng Lesheng looked at the people chatting and laughing with Old Man Wen, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Relax, it's okay."
Cheng Lesheng nodded: "I know, are you going to the county town for the New Year this year?"
"No, I'll be at home this year. If you don't want to go, why don't you come to our house and join us?"
"Okay, don't be unwelcome then."
"How is that possible?"
"Meng Caidie is about to go out!"
Wen Zhen nodded: "It should be in the next few days. I plan to go see her tomorrow."
"Please send a gift over for me. Brother Meng and the others are not here, so it's not easy for me to go directly there."
"Okay, I'll get it from you tomorrow and then go over there."
When Wen Zhenyi went to the county town, he went to Wenshufang to find the owner.
The shopkeeper of Wenshufang was very elegant and wasn't surprised at all when he saw her: "Miss Wen, what would you like to buy today?"
"I want to buy some pens, inkstones, and brushes from overseas."
"These are rare items. Come with me to the backyard to take a look."
"Thank you."
The two of them came to the backyard and sat down. The shopkeeper asked directly, "Miss Wen, do you want to inquire about the affairs of Yuncang Kingdom?"
"yes."
"The ship hasn't arrived yet, and Yuncang Country is currently relatively stable."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. The master told me to wait for the young lady to come and ask her something."
"What is it?"
"Can you sell me your instant noodle recipe, girl?"
"He's going to make instant noodles?"
“Just a rainy day.”
Wen Zhenyi frowned slightly. He didn't think this was a rainy day plan. "If you don't want to sell it, I'll give it to him. If he needs it, I can make it and send it over."
"I thank you on behalf of my master."
"It's just that I don't have the blueprints for this noodle machine. I need to go back to Uncle Xiong Lu and get them."
"Okay, thank you."
Wen Zhenyi wrote down the methods of making dry noodles and instant noodles on a piece of paper, which also included how to dry and dehydrate vegetables and make seasonings.
After coming out of Wenshufang, Wen Zhenyi felt a little uneasy.
But she didn't know where this uneasiness came from.
She went to Mayor Meng's house to meet Meng Caidie, but she looked melancholy: "What happened?"
Mrs. Meng smiled when she saw her and said, "You two sisters, chat for a while. I'll go get busy first."
Wen Zhenyi bowed to her, and after she left, Meng Caidie hugged her and cried heart-wrenchingly.
"Why are you crying for no reason?"
Meng Caidie sobbed and said, "I, I just can't bear to leave you and my mother. My brother can't even come back to see me off when I get married."
Wen Zhenyi took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped her tears: "Your brother has no choice. They are going to the capital to take the imperial examination. If they become officials in the future, your in-laws will not bully you so much."
"But if I leave now, I will never see you again."
"Pfft, pfft, don't make it sound like we're parting forever. How could we not see each other? We'll go see you. Besides, you have to go back to your parents' home sometimes, don't you?"
"But it's so far."
"How far can it be?"
Wen Zhenyi comforted her, and when she calmed down, he handed her the gift: "Master Cheng asked me to deliver this. Your brother and the others are not here, so it is inconvenient for him to deliver it."
"He's thoughtful."
