Chapter 243: Stop Dreaming

() Zhulan was very happy. Zhou Shuren saw Zhulan smiling and asked, "What are you thinking about that makes you so happy?"

Zhulan held Zhou Shuren's hand and said, "I'm glad this is the real world."

Zhou Shuren pulled Zhulan over and kissed her on the face. Zhulan rolled her eyes in her heart. This guy took advantage of everyone whenever he got the chance. Now that they lived in a separate courtyard, Zhou Shuren was the happiest person in the family. No one was bothering him anymore.

Moreover, it was Zhou Shuren who decided when the courtyards were divided. None of the children's courtyards were next to the main courtyard, which shows Zhou Shuren's careful thinking.

Li kept whispering this to Zhulan, and she wanted to move to the yard next door.

An hour later, the snow stopped and Doctor Lu also arrived. Doctor Lu really thought Zhou Shuren was sick, and was afraid of being delayed in going back and forth to get medicine, so he brought pills for treating fever, which were the pills that the Zheng family bought the prescription for.

Doctor Lu glared at Zhou Shuren when he saw that it was not Zhou Shuren. "Oh, you missed me so much. I really thought it was you. You even asked me to hurry up. I'm so tired that my old arms and legs are about to fall apart!"

Zhou Shuren was touched by his father's concern and quickly apologized, "It happened for a reason. I apologize to you."

Doctor Lu is not a curious person. "Where is the person? I'll go check it out."

Zhou Shuren led the way, "This way, please."

Zhulan followed him to the courtyard. The servant had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When he saw the doctor, he excitedly said, "Doctor, please come in."

Doctor Lu nodded, and Zhulan did not follow him into the house. Doctor Lu came out soon after. He went back to the main courtyard and wrote a prescription. It was getting late, and Doctor Lu had to hurry back to the county. This time, Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er sent Doctor Lu back to the county together. They had two people accompanying him because they were afraid that he would feel uneasy when he returned after dark.

As for bringing Chang Lian back, we can only ask Li’s nephew from her mother’s side to do it.

Zhulan waited until Doctor Lu left before asking Zhou Shuren, "What's the situation?"

Zhou Shuren was also worried that Yao Zheyu might get into an accident, but now he can rest assured. "Yao Zheyu has been ill for a while, and the most critical period has passed. He was sweating just now. The old man left some pills for him to take first. He will be fine after taking a few pills when he gets the medicine back."

"I'm glad you're okay. Is he awake?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "He just woke up, said thank you, took medicine and went back to bed. Make some millet porridge in the evening and send a jar to the backyard and put it on the stove to warm it up. Yao Zheyu can drink it when he wakes up."

"Okay, I'll let Li make the porridge."

Boss Zhou and his companion came back at dusk. The servant did the job of decocting medicine, and Zhulan's family had no need to interfere at all. The servant was particularly alert and was still a little cautious.

Zhulan didn't care about being guarded at all, she was happy to have free time.

On the second day, Yao Zheyu was able to go out. After all, he was a martial artist and had a strong body. He did not eat with Zhulan's family and had breakfast alone.

After Chang Lian and others went to the clan school, Yao Zheyu came to the main courtyard wearing a cloak. Zhulan thought that Yao Zheyu came in person instead of letting the servant come to call him. This meant that he acknowledged the life-saving grace and was humble.

Yao Zheyu coughed a little when he saw the cool air. "My master and I would like to thank Mr. Zhou for saving us. I will repay Mr. Zhou's kindness when I return to Beijing safely."

He was carrying a purse, but the silver bills in the purse were blurred and could not be used when they were hidden in the snow. The servant did have some silver on him, but not much. The servant had all his own silver. He had given the servant a purse to hold the silver, but he had not taken it out with him because he had run away in the middle of the night.

I went to see a doctor yesterday, and the servant didn't have much left after paying the medical bills. He really couldn't afford to pay to thank me at the moment.

Zhou Shuren likes the current male protagonist a lot better. The current male protagonist no longer has a condescending attitude, and he looks comfortable. "Sir, you are too polite. I saved you not for the sake of gratitude. It is fate that we met. Please don't take it to heart. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I will do my best to help you."

Bah, the male protagonist wants to get rid of him with money, don't dream, although according to the male protagonist's down-to-earth nature, he will definitely give more money, but it will also bring trouble. Yao Zheyu gave money as a reward, isn't it telling the people who wanted to kill Yao Zheyu? Yao Zheyu was saved by the Zhou family, isn't this bringing disaster to the Zhou family? The male protagonist is really dangerous, it's too easy to be cannon fodder if you don't pay attention.

If you still want to repay the favor with just money, forget it. Even if the man in front of you saved your life, his heart is not much better. The favor of saving your life must be kept!

Yao Zheyu frowned slightly. He was indeed grateful to the Zhou family for saving him, but the Zhou family had also received a lot of money from him before, and he really didn't take the life-saving grace too seriously. Now after hearing what Zhou Xiucai said, he was not sure whether he really didn't want any reward, or just wanted to get more benefits in the future.

Yao Zheyu coughed and said, "Mr. Zhou's character makes me admire him, and I must repay him. When I return to Beijing, I will definitely give him a thank you gift of ten thousand taels of silver."

After saying this, he looked at Mr. Zhou's expression without blinking. Ten thousand taels of silver. For a scholar who came from a peasant family, he would never see such a large amount of money in his life. He wanted to carefully observe the scholar's reaction!

Zhou Shuren didn't even blink, thinking to himself, the male lead is really generous, he gave me ten thousand taels of silver right away, the male lead is rich, "Sir, you said you admire my virtue, how could I ask for ten thousand taels of silver? Not to mention ten thousand taels of silver, even if it's ten thousand taels of gold, I won't take it. Please don't mention thank you again, Sir."

Oh, he doesn't even care about ten thousand taels of gold now. If you have the ability, you can show your gratitude with more than ten thousand taels of gold!

Yao Zheyu gritted his teeth, not knowing whether Mr. Zhou did it on purpose or not, but actually asked for ten thousand taels of gold. He thought his life was valuable, but before he became the prince, his life was really not worth ten thousand taels of gold. Even if the Marquis' Mansion was rich, they would not dare to take out ten thousand taels of gold to express their gratitude.

How dare you take out ten thousand taels of gold? Ha, the emperor has always disliked the Marquis' Mansion. Now that he has got the chance, he would like to destroy the Marquis' Mansion and replenish the national treasury!

Besides, grandpa is not doing well anymore, and father will not spend money on him, the former legitimate son. The 12,000 taels of silver he mentioned must be the money that grandpa secretly gave him.

Yao Zheyu thought of his grandfather and no longer worried about repaying the life-saving grace. No matter whether the Zhou family really didn't want a reward or it was fake, he thought the Zhou family wouldn't dare to ask for too much. After all, there was a life-saving grace, and he had a good impression of the Zhou family, so he would remember this grace first. He urgently needed to return to the capital. "Mr. Zhou said so, and I would be insulting you if I mentioned money again."

After a pause, he continued, "I am in a hurry to return to the capital, but the journey to the capital is far. Please help me find a carriage to take me back to Pingzhou."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "The carriage is going to the county to look for the team. I don't know what happened to you, and I'm not curious to ask. However, the county must be in turmoil. Look, my Yue family has a donkey carriage. Although it's not as fast as a horse, it can still get us to Pingzhou. So I'll give you both the donkey and the carriage. I'm sorry to bother you."

Yao Zheyu had never ridden in a donkey-drawn carriage, but as Zhou Xiucai said, there must be a lot of people blocking him in the county, so he couldn't rent a horse-drawn carriage. "Then I'll trouble Zhou Xiucai."

As for repayment, let's count them all together. I don't mind having one more donkey cart.
