Chapter 750 Meng Bujiu is in trouble
Shen Hechi was a little disappointed but didn't show it on his face. He nodded and agreed, "Yes, Fubao is right. It's not good to eat too much at night. Eat less of these cakes, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
"Okay, I'm almost full. Erya, which one do you want to eat?" There were more than a dozen plates of pastries on the table, most of which had not been touched. Jiang Fubao asked Pan Erya.
"I don't eat it. I don't like cakes." Pan Erya lied.
In fact, she didn't want to eat Mr. Shen.
As a bystander, she saw through Meng Bujiu and Shen Hechi. As for the young lady's future husband, Pan Erya actually preferred Meng Bujiu to be the one.
Meng Bujiu was the one who knew her young lady best. As for this Mr. Shen, she didn't like him and always felt that his eyes were a little hard to read.
Her young lady is a kind person, and I'm afraid she can't control this Mr. Shen.
So, even if she really wanted to eat the cakes on the table, she wouldn't eat them.
"Okay." Jiang Fubao thought that she had lost her appetite due to the shaking of the carriage.
I didn't force it.
After chatting for a while, she stood up and prepared to leave.
Shen Hechi was reluctant to let her go, but it was difficult to keep her, so he could only watch her go downstairs and out of the teahouse.
Until she was out of sight.
"Why doesn't the young master let Miss Jiang live in his house?" asked the servant.
"She won't come. Do you think I don't want to?" Shen Hechi knew what was going on.
Why did he ask when he knew he would be rejected?
Fubao always treats him with aloofness, but he actually doesn't mind at all. Even if Fubao eats and drinks his food and asks him to support him, he would be more than happy to do so.
Jiang Fubao left the teahouse and went to meet Xue Huan and the others.
The group strolled around for an hour before returning to the inn to rest.
When I woke up the next day and went downstairs to have breakfast, I saw Shen Hechi waiting on the first floor.
Yesterday she told Shen Hechi which inn she was staying at.
I didn't expect him to come so early.
"Fubao, are you up?" Shen Hechi smiled at Jiang Fubao who was on the stairs, and Jiang Fubao also responded with a slight smile.
Under his guidance, Jiang Fubao visited all the interesting places in the imperial city in the past two days. She was always hungry when she returned to the inn. On the third day, she started to look at shops. There were two in total, one that Meng Bujiu sent her, and the other that Shen Hechi sent her.
According to the original idea, one was to open a clinic and the other to sell medicinal food.
It was Shen Hechi who helped with finding craftsmen. In fact, he was delaying it intentionally so that Jiang Fubao could leave later.
But we can't delay it any longer.
At the end of May, Jiang Fubao finally left the imperial city.
Shen Hechi also felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
"Master, what should we do with the food in the basket?" the servant holding the bamboo basket suddenly asked.
Jiang Fubao asked Pan Erya to give him this bamboo basket.
She said there were meals she had made herself in the box as a way of repaying me for my hospitality and help over the past few days.
When Shen Hechi heard the word "food", his dazed eyes suddenly focused. He snatched the bamboo basket and looked through it.
There was indeed food inside, the same meat pie and grilled sausage as in Jiang's Snack Shop, wrapped in oil paper. When he opened it, the aroma instantly filled his nose.
There is also a cloth bag next to the oil paper.
"Here." Shen Hechi handed the bamboo basket to the servant, and he opened the cloth bag himself.
As a result, three silver bills fell out, each with a face value of one hundred taels.
Shen Hechi's face turned green.
"Miss Jiang, what do you mean? Do you want to sever your ties with the young master?" The servant said this before noticing Shen Hechi's expression. He thought something was wrong and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Slap me ten times!" Shen Hechi glared at him angrily.
"Pa pa pa..." The sound of slapping was heard and everyone passing by looked over here.
Only after the servant had slapped him ten times did Shen Hechi let him stand up.
"If I hear you talking about Fubao again, don't stay with me." Shen Hechi snatched the bamboo basket and turned away.
"Miss, isn't three hundred taels too little? Master Shen has helped us a lot. Those craftsmen are so cheap. I guess he secretly paid us with the money." Pan Erya said in the carriage.
"There's nothing we can do. We don't have much money left. If we give him too much, how can we go back? It's enough. If not, forget it. He volunteered to do it. I've also prepared food for him. At most, when he returns to Chang'an Town and pays New Year's greetings to my family, I'll ask grandma to give him more."
Jiang Fubao shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly.
"Miss is right. Should we go back? Are there any other shops we haven't checked out?" Pan Erya asked again.
"That's all. I've finished reading it all. I feel relieved now. Let's go home. It will probably be early July at the earliest before we get home. Fortunately, I asked you to buy some light clothes before I left, otherwise we would have been dying of heat." It was already the end of September when they set out.
It's not that hot anymore.
When we returned, it was the hottest time.
It’s definitely not okay to wear the same clothes you wore last year.
"Oh yeah, I can finally go home. I miss my little bed and the food cooked by sister Yuer in the kitchen. I want to eat it so much. I want to eat spicy food and sweet food." Xue Huan stretched lazily, feeling extremely happy.
"Silly girl, you insisted on following me before I came out. Now you know how good things are at home, right?" Jiang Fubao shook his head helplessly.
"Hehe, even if you ask me again, I still want to follow the young lady. Wherever the young lady goes, I will go." Xue Huan smiled foolishly.
Time flies, spring goes and summer comes.
After crossing another mountain, you will reach Chang'an Town.
It was already the end of July, and we encountered heavy rain and floods on the way, and we almost lost our lives, which was why we were delayed for so long.
Jiang Fubao was already exhausted.
Arriving at Chang'an Town, Pan Shitou stopped the carriage and asked, "Miss, are we going directly back to Lianshan Town?"
"Let's go to Chang'an first. I haven't written to you for more than a month. I think Brother Bujiu must be worried about me. Let him know. We're just passing by, and it won't be too late for us to go back after that."
Jiang Fubao thought about it and decided to go to Chang'an Town first.
The carriage quickly entered the city gate.
Coming to the familiar street, Jiang Fubao felt inexplicably relaxed.
After getting off the carriage, she was helped by Pan Erya.
When the officials at the county government gate saw her, they immediately came forward to greet her.
"Doctor Jiang, you are finally back! Come back to Lianshan Town!" The official was very anxious and stomped his feet on the spot.
"What happened? Did something happen in my home?" Jiang Fubao was startled and his heart trembled.
"It's not your house, it's the master, the master, he, he..." The officer's voice sounded a little choked.
"Hurry up and tell me, what happened to Lord Meng?" Seeing that her young lady was extremely anxious, Pan Erya urged the official in front of her.
"Ever since you sent Doctor Jiang away, you have always suffered from insomnia and your complexion has been particularly bad. Even taking medicine is useless. You have lost a lot of weight. At the beginning of the month, you went to investigate a case. Perhaps because you were weak, you fell off your horse and hit your head on a rock. You have been unconscious until now. Look, he..." The official actually cried in panic.
