A Cai's work: The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1444 Farewell, the lingering ghost
Jingyang has always been very confident. Whether it is his family background, talent or appearance, he is first-class. In recent years, he has not lacked the favor of noble ladies. Jingyang does not think that Feng Qingchen can always reject him, but...
However, Feng Qingchen repeatedly rejected him. Even before he left, when he wanted to see Feng Qingchen and say goodbye to her in person, he was rejected.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Jingyang. My young lady is really not at home." The butler repeated what he usually said, emphasizing the word "really" because he really was not lying this time.
Jingyang frowned slightly and forced a smile: "I am leaving Beijing today, and I want to thank Miss Feng in person before I leave."
"You're too polite, sir. My young lady won't mind. When my young lady comes back, I will tell her that you're here." The housekeeper initially sympathized with Mr. Jing Yang, but now he just feels it's a nuisance.
It was common knowledge that the young lady and the Ninth Prince were a couple. Mr. Jingyang suddenly interjected, which did not show the demeanor of a scholar at all.
Besides, even if the girl doesn't want to be with the Ninth Prince, she can choose the eldest son or Yun Xiao. Who is Mr. Jingyang? How dare he think about their girl?
Therefore, Mr. Jingyang was in a tragedy. Even the housekeeper thought that he had a problem with his character. They were both students of the Jixia Academy, but why was there such a big difference? Look at the eldest son. Even if he lost, he was magnanimous and would not pester him at all.
Look at Mr. Yuanxi, who directly said that he wanted to marry a girl, and he would not be angry if he failed to marry her, and he would not pester her. But Mr. Jingyang... Tsk tsk tsk, it's really embarrassing for scholars.
The housekeeper maintained respect on the surface, but was quite disdainful in his heart. A hint of gloom flashed across Jing Yang's eyes, and then he lowered his head, looking lonely. After a long time, he stood up blankly and stammered, "Well, then I won't bother you anymore."
Seeing Jing Yang's distraught look, the housekeeper sighed secretly. This Mr. Jing Yang is really a nerd and very stupid. Maybe he was too suspicious. This Mr. Jing Yang is not pestering, he is just too persistent.
The housekeeper thought for a moment and added, "Sir, my young lady has an appointment to discuss something today and is not at home."
"Thank you." Mr. Jingyang immediately perked up. He glanced at the housekeeper and asked with a little uneasiness, "I don't know where Miss Feng is meeting someone. I don't know if I will pass by when I leave the city. I am afraid I will not come back after leaving Dongling this time. I want to see Miss Feng for the last time before I leave."
This clearly means that he will not pester Feng Qingchen anymore, he just wants to fulfill his wish. Seeing Mr. Jing Yang's expectant yet anxious look, the housekeeper thought of Sun Sixing.
When people get old, they are always soft-hearted. The housekeeper thought about it and thought it was not a serious matter, so he said, "There is a restaurant in our house that the girl opened herself. You know what, the master will really pass by when he goes out of town."
This can be considered as fate.
"Thank you." Mr. Jingyang bowed with both hands and performed a great salute, which scared the housekeeper. He kept saying that he was not worthy of the honor. Even after Jingyang left, the housekeeper was still saying that Mr. Jingyang was a good and polite boy, but it was a pity that he came at the wrong time.
"Who did Feng Qingchen meet up with? Why didn't he talk to Feng Mansion?" As soon as Jing Yang got on the carriage, he asked the driver to take him to a restaurant. No matter what, he had to see Feng Qingchen today, otherwise Feng Qingchen might have forgotten him by the next time they met.
In the greenhouse of a restaurant, Feng Qingchen and Mu Zhachi sat on either side. On the table was not food, but a pile of contract documents.
"Miss Feng, these 18 families are willing to sell their lives. There are old and young people in the family, but they are all capable people. They really can't survive on the grassland, so they think of selling themselves. They are all good at work and will never be lazy."
Feng Qingchen was engaged in human trafficking. Although he grew up under the red flag, he was not very averse to human trafficking and he picked and chose naturally.
To put it bluntly, those who sign long-term contracts with companies and factories are actually selling themselves, but they get a little more money and can change buyers.
"These seventy-six families are only willing to sell themselves for ten years at most, and the price is not high. They hope to return to the grassland." Muzachi was a well-prepared man. The contract had already been drafted. As long as Feng Qingchen agreed, he could take it to the government for filing.
"I want all these 18 families, but not the ones with ten-year contracts." If you want to buy, buy for life. Only when you can hold a family, young and old, in your hands for their entire lives, will these people have reservations and dare not betray easily.
Although Muzachi was disappointed, he also understood Feng Qingchen's approach. He did not try to persuade her and collected the contracts of others.
Feng Qingchen handed the contract to the restaurant owner and asked him to take it to the government for filing. The two of them waited in the greenhouse.
"I am very satisfied with the cattle and sheep you sent last time. As long as you maintain this standard, I promise to use more and less." Feng Qingchen was not worried at all that there might be no way they could be eaten.
In the future, she will have more soldiers and horses, and if she really has more, she can give some to the Ninth Uncle. These cattle and sheep were bought from the grassland, and they are not much more expensive than grain.
"I'm glad that you're satisfied, Miss Feng. I haven't thanked you for the medicine you gave me. Your medicine saved our people. If it weren't for your medicine, I don't know how many people in our tribe would have died this year." Thinking of the old people and children who survived, Mu Zhachi's eyes instantly became moist.
He just didn't understand why they, young and old, would starve to death or freeze to death. They worked harder and did more than the people in the Central Plains.
Even if he worked day and night, he could not feed his family. It was a shame for a grown man to watch his children and elders die of cold and hunger.
"I'm a doctor." Feng Qingchen looked calm, without any emotion. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you really want to thank me, help me collect some grass seeds."
A little kindness is worth a lot of hatred. It is her business to help others, but she does not want the people of the Muzhachi clan to take her help for granted and make it a habit to rely on her.
"Ah? What does Miss Feng want the grass seeds for?" Muzhachi found that his brain was not enough. Could it be that there are still people who grow grass these days?
"Chief, just help me do this. As for how I use it, that's my business." Feng Qingchen made an implicit threat. Mu Zhachi felt cold all over. Only then did he realize that he had crossed the line and apologized repeatedly.
"The clan leader is a smart man, and I hope you will continue to be smart. Otherwise, I don't mind finding someone to cooperate with. Nomadic peoples are not just nobles." Feng Qingchen decided to scare them all at once.
Mu Zhachi was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he didn't react until Feng Qingchen left.
Feng Qingchen didn't say a single soft word. She turned around and went downstairs. As soon as she got downstairs, she met Mr. Jingyang who was waiting for her. Facing Jingyang's harmless face, Feng Qingchen just felt a headache.
This man is really haunting!
She really didn't understand why this man was pestering her. What had she done to please Jing Yang that he was pestering her like this...
Similarly, Jing Yang was also thinking. Why did Feng Qingchen meet with a person from the grassland to discuss something? He also bought so many herdsmen. Did Feng Qingchen want to recruit soldiers and establish a regime on the grassland?
We have to be on guard until Feng Qingchen is captured!
