After looking at it carefully, Ji Shikang said, "I believe you have experience, so let's do it according to your ideas." After that, he pushed the drawing on the tea table a little further forward.
"Thank you for your trust, Master Ji. I believe that around the Lantern Festival, you will definitely be able to live in your new house."
Ji Shikang laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, "Thank you for all the hard work." At this moment, Ji Shikang glanced at He Chuan and asked, "Mr. He, why are you here now?"
Seeing he couldn't escape, He Chuan quickly said, "My father asked me to stay here." He Chuan completely sold out his father without showing any mercy.
He snorted coldly after hearing this and said, "Since you've chosen to be here, then be quiet and behave yourself. If you get into any trouble, I'll send someone to send you back."
Tong Wenyao was thinking about the relationship between Master Ji and the He family. He Chuan said with a hint of restraint: "Yes, uncle."
Hearing He Chuan calling him uncle, Tong Wen Yao was a little confused. He Chuan didn't tell her about this relationship earlier, and when she took him to meet someone at noon, she didn't even realize that they were relatives!
He Chuan hid his secrets very well.
Ji Shikang had a terrible impression of him, so he didn't want to pay any attention to him at noon at the mansion. Until now, seeing him always following Wen Yao around without saying a word, he realized that there was someone who could control him! I just don't know if he is only so quiet when he is with Wen Yao, or if he just lets himself go when Wen Yao is not around?
Ji Shikang said, "You will sleep at the mansion tonight. I have asked the housekeeper to clean the room when you come out."
He Chuan said at this time: "I'm going home with Wen Yao today, and she has my clothes." Ji Shikang wanted to speak, but he didn't have time to take care of him recently, so he let it go.
During this period, he will go to the prison outside the city to select a group of people from it, and then go to mine sand and produce glass. Only in this way can the yamen's private treasury have money. The carriage was a little bumpy. When he took a carriage to Changjiang Village before, they paved cement on the road, so it was not bumpy. When the private treasury has money, he will pave cement for the whole county!
After returning to the county, Tong Wen Yao changed back to her carriage, and He Chuan sat in the front and drove the carriage obediently. When Ji Shikang saw this, he thought it was a good idea, so he did not stop them and let them leave the city.
He has been a little worried recently. Originally, Tong Wenyao was doing a good job for him, but recently he said that he would go to the border after the Lantern Festival, so he now has to look for a new captain.
It is undeniable that Tong Wenyao does a better job than anyone else in the county. If the border did not need him, he might not be willing to let go.
He looked at Wei Qi on the list. This person was recommended by Tong Wenyao. After rubbing his brow, he said, "Let's pick him!"
When the master saw it, he replied, "Yes, sir."
On the other side, after Tong Wen Yao changed back to the carriage, she went to the outskirts of the city gate. At this time, in the grove outside the city, there was a woman with her head wrapped in cloth, secretly observing the passing vehicles. After seeing the destination, Tong Wen Yao asked He Chuan to stop the carriage.
After she jumped off the carriage, she gave her the silver in the bag and said, "You can hide somewhere else for a while, or live somewhere else. Du Hong will be gone in a while, and you can choose to come back or not then." Zu'e was a little surprised that she would give her money. After all, the original condition was to cure her syphilis, and now she just came to say goodbye to her.
I didn't expect that she would actually give her some money, and it felt like it was quite a lot.
"I came here today to say goodbye to you. I will not be coming back here in the future. Thank you for curing my illness. We will see each other again."
Seeing the hope in her eyes, Tong Wenyao asked, "Where are you going from now on?"
Zu'e smiled and said, "When I was little, I had a childhood sweetheart, but my parents sold me to a brothel, and I never got to meet him again. Now, I want to go back to my hometown to see him."
Tong Wenyao wanted to ask, what if he's married? What would you do? As if she could see what she was thinking, she forced a smile and said, "If he's already married and has children, I'll just watch from afar. If he's still waiting for me, then I'll definitely follow him until death."
After hearing this, Tong Wen Yao was speechless. She believed that the woman in front of her must have thought carefully before saying this. At the same time, she also admired her courage.
After she finished speaking, Zu'e bowed to her, then turned and got on the ox cart next to her, "Miss, I still want to thank you, thank you for giving me a chance to pursue freedom." Once upon a time, when she learned that she had syphilis, she lived in a daze. That day she came to the door and said that she could seduce someone and perform the Zhougong ceremony, and then she could escape dead, and she would cure her syphilis.
She initially thought she was a scammer, but after a few injections and a shower, the foul odor from her lower body disappeared. Only then did she believe that she could cure her illness.
Now she uses the money she earned in the first half of her life to pursue the life she wants.
After seeing her leave, Tong Wen Yao took He Chuan's whip and drove the horse towards Changjiang Village.
He Chuan leaned against the edge and said nonchalantly, "Aren't you afraid that she'll turn around and tell Du Hong that he was poisoned?" She chuckled and said, "Zu'e won't do that. Her adopted daughter was raped and tortured to death by the people in Baimafang. She only hates Baimafang!"
It was because she had this clue that she found Zu'e and cured her illness.
When she returned to Tong's house, it was already completely dark. If the light had not been on at the door of Tong's house, she would have almost lost her way.
Xiaohua came out to open the door for them and then pulled the carriage back. Tong Wenyao asked He Chuan to stay with Wen Ziyu in the guest room while she went to her room with a lantern.
How could she know that He Chuan and Wen Ziyu had already grown tired of each other?
He Chuan didn't tolerate him and directly picked up his box to find Tong Bo.
Tong Wen Yao naturally didn't know about this scene. She only found out about it the next day.
After Tong Wen Yao came back, Xing'er also came to the room. After pouring her bath water, she used a hot water bottle to warm her bed. Then she went back to the backyard.
The next morning, Xing'er knocked on the door and said, "Miss, Village Chief Wu is here to see you."
Tong Wenyao was half asleep when she heard Xing'er say that Village Chief Wu was looking for her. She was so frightened that she jumped up immediately to wash up.
After she washed up and went to the hall, Village Chief Wu was sitting on the sofa, looking a little anxious. When he saw her, he quickly said, "Wen Yao, after soaking the bamboo from the back mountain, we made paper according to your method, but it still didn't work. They've tried it twice. Do you want to go and take a look?"
After hearing this, Tong Wenyao said, "Okay, Village Chief, I'll go with you to take a look."
