Chapter 405 Arrived at Nan'an Prefecture
When the car stopped, the old lady beside Mrs. Chang was surprised to find that the old lady had not coughed since she took the medicine, and had not woken up since she fell asleep.
"Madam, Madam, have you noticed that the old lady didn't cough?"
Madam Chang: ...? Could it be all just a coincidence?
Madam Chang Er: “…” “Sister-in-law, I told you they were just selling two pills casually. Who knows, the price of the pills might be much more than 50 taels of silver.”
"We have to buy the pills at the Nan'an Prefecture clinic, even if they cost five hundred taels of silver each."
I have been seeing a doctor and taking medicine for more than a year.
Not to mention the money spent, the family members also suffered from the hardships.
Mrs. Chang felt a little ashamed.
Fu Xuanheng and Shen Yunyue got off the carriage.
Yingfeng and others immediately set up the pot, and Anwu went to fetch water nearby.
Everyone here cooks noodles quickly.
Compared to other people who only eat dry food.
The food that Shen Yunyue and her friends receive is simply the ceiling.
Having not passed any villages this morning, Madam Chang felt ashamed of her narrow-minded thinking. She was also embarrassed to see Shen Yunyue. "I heard we can reach the post station in the evening."
Shen Yunyue said nothing.
He held the bowl and ate the noodles in it slowly. The soup was made with mushrooms and cabbage leaves.
The other family did not stop and continued on their way.
Lu Zhiling came over with the pastries and said, "Mrs. Fu, can you sell me a bowl of noodles in that pot?" He had never been picky about food when he went out before, but now someone was eating delicious food in front of him.
He really couldn't bear it anymore.
They are both rich people, but their treatment is so different.
Is he reluctant to spend money?
"Ba Nian, serve a bowl of noodles to Mr. Lu."
Lu Zhiling smiled and raised his narrow eyebrows, "Thank you, Miss Bayanian."
Lu Zhiling took the bowl brought by Bayanian and ate happily.
"Master Fu, can you sell your method of growing potatoes and sweet potatoes?" Lu Zhiling really wanted to buy it. The bigger the family, the more land and farms they had, which would amount to a considerable amount of money.
Shen Yunyue and Fu Xuanheng wanted to take over the aristocratic families in Jinyang Prefecture.
If that’s the case…
"Of course you can, but we have conditions." Shen Yunyue agreed without hesitation.
Fu Xuanheng smiled without saying anything and spoke to Shen Yunyue.
"What conditions?"
"You must never be our enemy at any time. Besides the methods for growing potatoes and sweet potatoes, there are also methods for growing rice and wheat."
Shen Yunyue said casually.
It was as if what she said were all very ordinary things.
Upon hearing that they could not become enemies, Lu Zhiling wanted to agree.
But on second thought, he hesitated again.
What are the identities of these two people?
After all, there is the entire Lu family, and he alone cannot represent others.
"An enemy of yours?"
"Hmm. If we use our farming methods to produce large quantities of food to support our enemies," Shen Yunyue sneered. "I don't think Master Lu would want to do such a losing business."
Lu Zhiling: “……?” He was unwilling.
"I don't want to be your enemy. I'm willing to buy your method first, but I can't promise you anything about the entire Lu family."
"Oh?" Fu Xuanheng glanced over coldly.
"I don't think you dare tell the Lu family privately."
Lu Zhiling felt a chill in his heart, and always felt that Fu Xuanheng was scary.
He agreed immediately.
The next journey.
The old lady of the Chang family stopped coughing. Halfway through, An Yi caught up with her and told Shen Yunyue that they had already done their job. They had bought a hill near Shenjiazhuang and also bought all the land on both sides of the river that Shen Yunyue mentioned.
This time, he secretly gave bribes to the staff.
The official in charge waved his hand and gave them a small hill nearby.
The total cost was 1,500 taels of silver.
This amount of money can only buy a courtyard in the capital, and it has to be away from the wealthy area.
In the countryside, there is a land of mountains and forests.
We traveled for a few more days.
Finally arriving at Nan'an Prefecture, Fu Xuanheng and Shen Yunyue planned to go into Nan'an Prefecture.
Lu Zhiling: “?”
Isn’t it from Jinyang Prefecture?
"Master Fu, didn't you say you were going to Jinyang Prefecture? It's still a day's journey from here to Jinyang Prefecture." Lu Zhiling became familiar with Fu Xuanheng and the others along the way.
I can sleep in the canopy tent every day.
They also had a meal together, and of course he had to spend the money.
As for the people under him, they didn't have such a good time.
Fu Xuanheng touched the ring on his hand and said, "We are going to Nan'an Prefecture to meet a relative."
Lu Zhiling knew he couldn't stay any longer, so he thought for a moment and said:
"My home is in Wuyi Lane, Jinyang Prefecture. You can find out by asking around there. I'm in a hurry to get back and deliver the goods, so I left first."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Lu Zhiling was a little reluctant to leave and looked back every few steps.
I got on the carriage and continued on my way.
Shen Yunyue and the others turned down the path on the right.
Arrived at the city gate.
The driver from the Chang family drove to the side where there was no queue.
He shouted to Yingfeng, "Brother, follow me."
Yingfeng looked at the people queuing to enter the city and immediately followed the Chang family's coachman.
The Chang family's driver took out a sign and pointed to the carriage behind. The soldier guarding the city gate nodded and let them in smoothly.
Fu Xuanheng frowned, "Why hasn't Ma Li taken over Nan'an Prefecture yet?"
Shen Yunyue smiled and said:
"I'm afraid they're thinking of taking Jinyang Prefecture first. By then, the nearby prefectures will probably surrender automatically."
"There are many experts in Jinyang Prefecture. Let's meet them this time."
Fu Xuanheng's eyes were sharp, and he was determined to take over Jinyang Prefecture this time.
"good."
Shen Yunyue agreed.
After entering the city, the carriage stopped.
The old lady from the Chang family came over to say hello:
"Our old lady is so grateful for Madam's medicine. I wonder if Madam has any more medicine to sell us two more pills?"
Shen Yunyue reached out and lifted the curtain.
"No more. The bone marrow of the white bear from the snowy mountains alone is very rare. It also requires the white southern candle and the morning dew from the white lotus in summer."
"This medicine is something you can only find by chance."
If I didn't want to hear the coughing, I really wouldn't want to sell it to them.
She did not miss the suspicious look of Madam Shen. The old lady's illness was not cured completely.
Shen Yunyue did not sell medicine, but went into Nan'an Mansion again and told them that she came to visit her aunt.
The old nanny saw that Shen Yunyue refused to give in.
I had no choice but to go back and tell the old lady, and repeated several of the things Shen Yunyue had said.
"Even if I tell you the prescription, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anything."
The old lady sighed quietly, "It's no wonder they don't want to sell it. If we had this medicine, we would definitely pass it down like a family heirloom."
"But they were kind-hearted and only accepted one hundred taels of silver."
The old lady glared at the eldest lady with disdain, "You are so short-sighted. It's not like you haven't seen silver before. You offended people for a hundred taels of silver."
"In the past, setting up a porridge stall and distributing porridge cost more than a hundred taels of silver."
Mrs. Chang Er didn't say anything, but she wanted to laugh out loud in her heart.
"Mother, what you mean is that Madam Fu knows what we are thinking?" Madam Chang Er deliberately poked Madam's lungs.
"snort."
"Send someone smart enough to follow them and find out where they live."
"When we get back to the mansion, prepare generous gifts and don't say anything else. Just say it's a thank you gift for taking care of our safety along the way." The old lady knew very well that they were safe along the way thanks to the bodyguards from the Fu family and the Lu family.
Even the arrogant and domineering family who took the lead.
I will wait for them later to go through the most dangerous part of the journey together.
Madam Chang was displeased with what the old lady said and did not dare to argue at all.
"Mother, I will personally bring the gifts when I get home."
"Goodbye, let the second son's wife go." The old lady refused outright. God knows how comfortable she is when she doesn't cough.
I always feel like I can live for a few more decades.
Mrs. Chang Er happily agreed, but was met with a roll of the eyes from Mrs. Chang.
We are almost at the inn.
Ba Nian twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, "Young Madam, there is a servant from the Chang family following behind."
"That's all right. If they want to know where we live, let them know."
"yes."
They came to the Rong family's inn.
There are several luxurious inns in Nan'an Prefecture.
Fu Xuanheng and Shen Yunyue chose to stay at the Rong family's inn.
Arrived at the inn.
The shopkeeper glanced up nonchalantly. He exuded an air of wealth, except for his clothes and jewelry, which were not very good, and his unfamiliar appearance, which did not seem to belong to Jinyang Prefecture.
An Yi stepped forward and handed over the jade pendant, "Accommodation."
The shopkeeper's pupils shrank.
He quickly put on a proper smile, picked up the jade pendant and took a closer look.
A jade pendant representing the highest-ranking guest of the Rong family.
"Our young master has two quiet courtyards here, and he specially reserved one for Master Fu and his wife." The shopkeeper returned the jade pendant to An Yi with both hands.
He personally led them to the backyard.
An Yi took out a ten-liang piece of silver from his pocket and threw it to the waiter beside him.
"Go buy a dozen baskets of meat buns for our horses. Feed each horse two baskets of meat buns, and give the cart horse an extra basket of meat buns."
The waiter suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Grandpa, horses eat meat buns?" What a novelty! Many people can't afford meat buns.
The horse that was eating grass ended up eating the meat buns.
On second thought, horses are more valuable than people.
