Chapter 117 What a coincidence
Fu Zhaoning still kept Zhong Jian in the Fu family.
Only if he stayed by the Fu family could she leave with peace of mind.
Because I heard that Chaoyun Mountain is quite far away, even if there is no delay, it will take three or four days to go back and forth.
Before she left, she gave Old Master Fu another acupuncture treatment and left enough medicine and food for the family.
Aunt Zhong has already started sewing winter clothes.
Hu Zi's legs have also gotten much better. Zhong Jian also helped him cut a walking stick. He can stand up and walk a few steps on his own with the help of the walking stick. At least he can sit in the old man's room every day and talk to him and see him.
Old Master Fu asked her what she was going to do, and Fu Zhaoning told the truth.
However, although she told him that she was going to Chaoyun Mountain, she did not say that she was going to look for Fu Jiaojiao and Fu Baozhen. Instead, she said that her master told her that there were good medicines in Chaoyun Mountain and she wanted to go look for them.
Before he became an apprentice and knew nothing, Fu Zhaoning often ran around digging for medicinal herbs. Now, when Fu Zhaoning, who has shined at the Medicine Gambling Festival, says he wants to go digging for herbs, no one disbelieves him.
Fu Zhaoning took Xiaotao with her and prepared to go to the East Market to rent a carriage. She was still in need of a driver. The original carriage of the Fu Mansion was too broken to leave the city. It was OK to use it in the city, but it would be easily shaken apart on the mountain road.
But after looking at several carriages in the East Market, Fu Zhaoning was not satisfied with any of them.
Some of the carriages were too dirty and old, while others were owned by unreliable people.
She and Xiaotao, two girls, were leaving the city and going into the mountains, and they didn't want to pick up someone with bad intentions who would cause trouble.
After choosing for a long time, Fu Zhaoning changed his mind.
"We'd better buy another carriage ourselves."
"Ah?" Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, but then she became happy.
After all, the young lady is the eldest daughter of the Fu family, and now she is the Princess Jun. She doesn’t even have a decent carriage when she goes out. She is so sad.
Fu Zhaoning bought it as soon as he said he would. He went to the carriage shop, picked out a sturdy carriage, and asked the shopkeeper to recommend a good horse, and bought it all at the same time.
The brand new carriage and the shiny and sleek horses made Xiaotao so happy that she kept touching the carriage.
"Miss, we have a big carriage too."
From now on, the lady won’t have to walk all the time when she goes out.
Fu Zhaoning suddenly thought of another question, "We don't have a driver."
Xiaotao was stunned.
"If Brother Huzi's injury heals, he should be able to do it after some practice."
"But his injury hasn't healed that quickly."
Fu Zhaoning sighed and said, "Okay, maybe I should go to the pawnshop and hire another driver to be his driver."
The dental clinic is right next to it.
Before Fu Zhaoning even entered the door, a man was pushed out noisily from inside. The man didn't stand firmly on the steps outside the door, tripped and fell down, right at Fu Zhaoning's feet.
"Miss, be careful!"
Xiaotao was startled.
Fu Zhaoning took two steps back and looked down at the person on the ground.
A young man with clothes that were patched up, his tall and strong figure was wearing clothes that were obviously too short for him, which made him look very embarrassed.
"Hurry up and leave. We've already told you that we don't dare to take you in. Why don't you understand? Chen Shan, everyone in this area doesn't know that you and Haozi and the others are just street thugs that everyone hates."
Fu Zhaoning raised his eyebrows when he heard the name Haozi.
At this time, the young man on the ground also climbed up.
When the two met, he was startled, his eyes widened, and he took three steps back.
"You, you you you..."
Xiao Tao couldn't help but stand in front of Fu Zhaoning.
The person from the dental office just said that this guy is a street thug that everyone hates!
We can't let him bully the lady!
"It's you." Fu Zhaoning spoke first. "So your name is Chen Shan."
When they went into Luoyue Mountain to dig for herbs that day, Song Yuanlin's maid bribed those thugs to go up the mountain to cause trouble for her. It would be best if they could kill her, but if they couldn't, they would take her clothes back and try to destroy her reputation.
This man ran the fastest. Haozi Tiezhu and the others called him boss. Only now did Fu Zhaoning know that his name was Chen Shan.
"I don't know anything about Haozi and the others!"
There was a bruise on the corner of Chen Shan's eye and a few blisters at the corners of his mouth. He looked really embarrassed. Fu Zhaoning pushed him to the corner of the alley and he shouted anxiously.
"So, you know what they are going on?" Fu Zhaoning asked back.
"I, I knew they never came back after that day," Chen Shan looked at Fu Zhaoning with some fear, "Later, I, I went up the mountain to the suspension bridge to look for them, they..."
They are all dead.
Chen Shan was also a little scared at that time.
No one knew what happened after he came down the mountain that day, but Haozi and the others all died in the mountain.
But these people were all hooligans, and his family was used to them disappearing from time to time, so no one else had looked for them except him.
Chen Shan also looked for Fu Zhaoning in the mountains, fearing that she had also been murdered, but he didn't find her.
After he came down the mountain, he became more and more frightened the more he thought about it, so he quietly went to find a few beggars who knew Haozi and his friends to ask for information.
A beggar told him that Haozi and his friends had seen a maid dressed in gorgeous clothes, and that the maid seemed to have given them silver.
"I don't know if they were instructed to do anything. I didn't participate. Girl, please believe me."
Chen Shan was not stupid either. He knew as soon as he thought about it that Haozi and the others must have been instructed to do harm to Fu Zhaoning that day.
But they didn't expect that they would get into trouble in the end.
Now seeing Fu Zhaoning standing here well, he felt that this girl must be very powerful.
"You don't know anything? Don't they all call you the boss?"
"That's because I'm stupid." Chen Shan's face flushed. "They always make me clean up the mess when they get into trouble. Sometimes they come to me when they have no food to eat. When they call me boss, I feel like I have to take care of them. My mother says they are not good people and are just taking advantage of me."
Fu Zhaoning looked at him.
Chen Shan not only had injuries on his face, but his clothes were too small and too short, and there was a hole in his cloth shoes.
If he could get the money that others paid him to do bad things, he might not have ended up in such a miserable state.
"Miss.."
Xiaotao suddenly tugged gently at Fu Zhaoning's sleeve.
Fu Zhaoning looked at her inquiringly.
Xiao Tao came close to her and whispered, "I heard from Aunt Zhong that more than ten years ago, there was another couple in our mansion. They had a child named Chen Shan, who was a few years old. This name was given by the old grandfather. What a coincidence."
Fu Zhaoning was stunned for a moment.
Isn’t it such a coincidence?
"And then?"
"Later, the mansion could no longer sustain itself, so the people from the second and third houses drove away many servants. They were also let go. This is what Aunt Zhong said. It seems that Aunt Zhong is still thinking about Aunt Chen."
"Who are you talking about? Did I hear Aunt Zhong?"
Chen Shan interrupted blankly.
Fu Zhaoning and Xiaotao looked at him at the same time.
Chen Shan took another step back.
"W-Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Can you drive a carriage?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
Chen Shan was stunned.
An hour later, Chen Shan, wearing new clothes and new shoes, drove the carriage out of the city gate. He was still a little confused, how did he become the driver of this girl?
