Chapter 247: Massive Purchases
Ye Mingzhu took a deep breath and tried to soften her expression. "Thank you for this, Master Fu. I owe you a favor."
"You don't have to owe me a favor. It was Yanli who wrote to me and asked me to help you." Fu Chengyun did not take credit for it: "I did it for Yanli's sake, so you don't have to owe me a favor."
As for why Yu Jiaming himself did not write a letter to the capital, there is no need to explain that.
"Ye Mingzhu, Yanli really treats you as his sister." Fu Chengyun sighed.
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect it to be Yu Jiaming. She had been very cold towards Jiaming recently, and she had avoided him the last time she went to the government office.
She didn't expect that Yu Jiaming didn't care at all and still wanted to help her.
Fu Chengyun is not Yu Jiaming, who does good deeds without leaving his name. He does the work and he also wants the reputation.
"Don't worry, the man surnamed Yu will be very busy during this period and will not be back."
Ye Mingzhu nodded, and suddenly something flashed through her mind: "His surname is Yu. Does he know Yu Jiaming?"
Fu Chengyun laughed dryly: "Who told you that people with the surname Yu have connections?"
Ye Mingzhu frowned. Fu Chengyun and Yu Jiaming were both from the capital, and their identities were similar, but Yu Jiaming entrusted this matter to Fu Chengyun. It seemed strange no matter how she thought about it. There was only one possibility: he knew the young master in brocade robe and it was inconvenient for him to come forward.
"If you don't tell me, I'll write a letter to ask Yu Jiaming." Ye Mingzhu stared at Fu Chengyun, trying to see something from his face.
Fu Chengyun said sorry to Jiaming in his heart, but this was not what he wanted to say. It was something Ye Mingzhu guessed herself.
"The two of them don't know each other," Fu Chengyun paused before continuing, "Yanli and the Yu guy can only be considered from the same clan."
The Yu family is considered a large family. The direct descendants are good at studying and stayed in the capital. The person with the highest official position currently is Yu Jiaming's grandfather. The illegitimate and side branches all stayed in the provincial capital.
The young master in brocade robe was considered a branch of a branch, but his father was a fifth-rank prefect in the provincial capital.
Even though Yu Jiaming is only a seventh-rank county magistrate, he has an appointment with the emperor. As long as he does a good job here, he will be promoted sooner or later.
The young master in brocade robe is about the same age as Yu Jiaming and is still a layman.
"Will this matter implicate Yu Jiaming?" Ye Mingzhu didn't want to cause trouble for Yu Jiaming because of her own affairs.
"It's just a side branch. Besides, it's their own trouble and won't affect Yanli." Fu Chengyun waved his hand. It was just a small matter. The other party would only regret that they didn't clean up the mess properly and would not think about Yu Jiaming.
Ye Mingzhu still bowed to Fu Chengyun. Even if it was for Yu Jiaming's sake, she was the one who benefited in the end.
"When Brother Yu comes back, I'll host a banquet to thank you."
Fu Chengyun's face froze, and Ye Wu interrupted, "Master Fu, haven't we been out for a little too long?"
"Or, you can write a letter to Jiang Hongyu and describe in detail what I did to help you." Fu Chengyun adjusted the smile on his face.
Ye Mingzhu nodded doubtfully: "That's no problem, I'll bring some more clothes for Brother Yu. Can I also bring some food?"
"Bring it along," Fu Chengyun called to Ye Wu, "Ye Wu, go to the town and see if there's anyone selling pigs. Let's just buy a pig and some vegetables, and we'll go back tomorrow."
Ye Mingzhu's suspicion deepened: "How long do you plan to take to return this time?"
Ye Wu also reacted and immediately walked out the door: "It's already this late, I'm going to the pork stall to see if there is any pork left."
In almost the blink of an eye, Fu Chengyun and Ye Wu disappeared.
Ye Mingzhu was sure that the two people had been playing outside for too long and had forgotten about returning to the island.
She shook her head and went to find Aunt Jiang, wanting to prepare more food for Jiang Hongyu and let Fu Chengyun and the others take it back.
Fu Chengyun and Ye Wu walked out of the Jiang family's gate and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Fu Chengyun tapped Ye Wu with the fan in his hand: "Why didn't you remind me? I almost delayed the matter."
Ye Wu smiled bitterly: "It's all my fault. I saw that Master Fu never mentioned going back, so I thought we had agreed on it when you came out."
Fu Chengyun glared. He had agreed to go back after two days, and he was still using the pretext of purchasing supplies. It had been so many days, and he didn't know if there was any food left on the island.
When he thought about the lack of food on the island and the impact on the progress of mining, he wanted to shrink his neck.
He tapped his folding fan back and forth in his hands, and finally said, "Hurry up and go buy something."
The two men were in such a hurry that they didn't even ask the price. They almost bought out all the shops in the town with their rice, flour, grain, oil, meat and eggs.
Fu Chengyun paid the money and sent all the things directly to Jiang's house, which scared Ye Mingzhu.
From time to time, people delivered things to Jiang's house, so Lao Hu simply opened the door and asked people to put the things in the gatehouse.
When Fu Chengyun and Ye Wu returned, Old Hu opened the door with a sad face: "Master Fu, you, you bought so many things that the gatehouse can't hold them all."
Fu Chengyun waved his hand: "It's just some food and drinks. If there's anything you can't put away, we'll move out tomorrow."
Old Hu glanced at Ye Wu and sincerely suggested that they go and take a look.
Ye Wu had been stunned by Fu Chengyun's shopping momentum along the way. He pushed open the door of the concierge office and was shocked by the room full of bags and baskets.
"Why are there so many things?"
Old Hu said with a bitter face: "The person who delivered the things said that it was bought by Mr. Fu and that he had already paid for it, so I asked them to deliver it here."
Fu Chengyun just wanted to buy more things to make up for his mistake, but he didn't expect to buy so many things. The things had already been bought and could not be returned.
He pointed at Ye Wu with his folding fan and said, "Ye Wu, go rent a carriage and take all these things to Yuanshan Village tomorrow."
Uncle Yan, who came rushing over after hearing the noise, was speechless looking at these things. He took the initiative to step forward and said, "Let Ye Wu and I go together. I may not be able to put all these things in one carriage."
At first glance, there were more than a dozen cloth bags, various baskets and backpacks. They had bought everything from the entire street.
Uncle Yan took Ye Wu to rent a carriage and hired a driver to go to Yuanshan Village with them tomorrow.
Fu Chengyun did not sleep well that night. He was really worried that the people on the island would not be able to survive without food and water.
On the small island, Ye Lang and Jiang Hongyu stood on the beach together. Ye Lang was worried as he watched the rolling waves.
"Hongyu, the food on the island won't last two days, and there's not much water left. Sir Fu, did you say when you'll be back?"
Jiang Hongyu's face turned dark. He didn't expect Fu Chengyun to be so unreliable. He had been away for so many days and didn't even send a reply.
"Master Fu is not familiar with water. Will something happen to him and Ye Wu alone?"
Ye Lang was worried that something might happen to Fu Chengyun at sea, which would be troublesome.
"If they haven't returned by the time of Si tomorrow, take your men back to the village to check."
Jiang Hongyu pondered for a while and finally gave the order.
