"Girl, don't pay attention to what those people say. Just do your own thing. Uncle Erlang supports you... huh?"
In fact, Shu Jiaying didn't bother to pay attention to what the villagers said. She just looked up and saw the pimples on Erlang's nose, and she immediately realized that Erlang's luck had been bad in the past two days.
Considering it difficult to say it directly, Shu Jiaying reminded him, "Uncle Erlang, did you not sleep well last night? I know you've been working very hard taking care of Xiaohua recently. How about this... after you finish this boat trip, why don't you go back and have a good rest?"
"Rest? That won't work. If I don't make a few more trips, I won't be able to make up for my previous losses.
Big girl, Uncle Erlang is fine, he can handle it."
Knowing she couldn't persuade Erlang, Shu Jiaying carefully glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to their conversation. Then she said softly, "Uncle Erlang, remember, when you're out today, no matter who asks to borrow money from you, don't lend it, because you probably won't be able to get it back."
"Jiaying girl...Okay, no matter who wants to borrow money today, Uncle Erlang won't lend it to you. Sit tight, Uncle Erlang is going to start the boat!"
With a slight smile, Shu Jiaying knew that Erlang didn't take her words to heart. She just hoped that her fortune-telling this time would not be too accurate.
Fengyun Town. Kang Family Mansion
After a sleepless night, Kang Ningxia was able to get up from the bed for the first time without the maid's call. He had just finished washing up and originally wanted to go to Guangming Village to see the progress of the workers. However, when he walked into the lobby, he heard a servant say that Zhao Weilong, the chairman of the Fengyun Town Commerce Department, was visiting.
Kang Ningxia was wondering why Boss Zhao came to his house so early, and was about to ask the servants, when Zhao Weilong had already walked into the lobby of the Kang family.
Seeing Kang Ningxia, Zhao Weilong skipped the small talk and asked directly, "Master Kang, did anything happen when you took our daughter to Guangming Village yesterday? Why did she start itching all over as soon as she got home, and has had a high fever since last night? I asked Doctor Yao from your Zhenghe Hall to check on her, but he couldn't diagnose the cause."
When Kang Ningxia heard Zhao Weilong mention what happened yesterday, he immediately covered his head with his hands in pain. He really wanted to tell Zhao Weilong that the doctor couldn't diagnose the cause of the disease, so what could he do?
But Kang Ningxia still smiled politely in front of the crowd.
"Boss Zhao, why don't you ask the doctor at Wan'antang to take a look? It's okay. Miss Zhao's health is more important. You don't have to worry about my face. Besides, I heard that Wan'antang has a female healer who can cure all diseases. Maybe she can see what's wrong with Miss Zhao."
This was not what Zhao Weilong wanted to hear. He repeated, "Master Kang, did my daughter come into contact with anything unclean when she was in Guangming Village yesterday?"
"How would I know? Boss Zhao... If Doctor Yao from Zhenghetang is helpless with Miss Zhao's illness, then I guess I can't help her either. But I've heard of some folk remedies that say bathing with mugwort can relieve itching. How about this... I'll have my servants go to the pharmacy and get some mugwort and bring it to your house later?"
"Thank you very much, Master Kang. Doctor Yao has already prescribed an anti-itching medicine for my daughter. Actually, I came to visit you this time because of my daughter's request. Qian Huan is very worried that your health is the same as hers, so she was worried, so she asked me to come and see your condition in person.
"Master Kang...after you returned from Guangming Village yesterday, did you...feel unwell?"
