Chapter 233 Leaving Beijing in a hurry
Chapter 233 Leaving Beijing in a hurry
Chasing to the front yard, Yang Pan'er burst into tears and said, "Second sister, you said last time that you would find a doctor for me. Do you still mean it?"
"Let's go to the hall!" Lu Mingyang turned and went into the house.
Yang Pan'er looked at the young doctor and felt unsure, but she still followed her sister in.
Leng Lingfeng was halfway through taking a pulse when Zhang Fengshou walked in and asked anxiously, "What are you looking at for such an expensive consultation fee?"
"Second sister said to pay us the consultation fee." Yang Pan'er looked at Lu Mingyang as if for help. Lu Mingyang placed ten taels of silver on the table, and the room fell silent again.
"How is it?" Seeing the doctor stop, Zhang Fengshou asked first.
Lu Mingyang handed the pen and ink to him.
"You trust me so much?" Leng Lingfeng was as happy as a spring breeze as he picked up his pen to write down the prescription. In a short while, a densely packed prescription was written out.
"Take this prescription, two doses a day. It will take at least three months, at most six months, and your wish will come true."
Yang Pan'er's first thought was money, and she asked anxiously, "How much is this medicine for one dose?"
Leng Lingfeng said: "A pair is about half an ounce!"
Yang Pan'er's hand trembled as she clutched the prescription, and she looked at Zhang Fengshou worriedly. One tael a day, three months would be ninety taels, and six months would be one hundred and eighty taels. This was much more expensive than if he divorced her and remarried.
Zhang Fengshou didn't say anything.
Yang Paner's gaze shifted to Lu Mingyang.
Lu Mingyang called Zheng Hao in and instructed, "Accompany my sister and brother-in-law to the pharmacy to get some medicine for six months."
Zhang Fengshou said hurriedly, "Second sister, give us the silver. We'll go back and buy it. It's not convenient to bring it back here."
"No silver!"
Lu Mingyang decisively refused. Zhang Fengshou didn't dare to say anything more and helped Yang Pan'er and Zheng Hao to get the medicine.
Seeing the man walk away, Lu Mingyang said to Leng Lingfeng, "Do me a favor."
……
In the room, Yang's mother hugged her husband and cried, "Why did you have to pick on that rich guy? You can't even afford to offend the local tycoons in our town, and now you are so capable that you even blackmail the Duke's Mansion. Now look what you are going to do!"
"Why are you crying?" Yang Tiezhu said irritably, "Why don't you go and beg your daughter?"
At this time, Leng Lingfeng walked in and asked, "Is this house yours?"
Yang Tiezhu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and his mother replied "yes".
Leng Lingfeng said, "How about this? I'm new in the capital and have nowhere to live. I'd like to open a clinic. You can rent the house to me and I'll give you ten taels a month. What do you think?"
As he said this, he put down the ten taels that Lu Mingyang had just given him.
Mother Yang looked at Yang Tiezhu excitedly. Wei Luo's threatening words rang in his ears, and Yang Tiezhu didn't dare to respond. But the white light of silver flashed before his eyes. He swallowed his saliva and said, "I've asked around. The rent for my house is at least fifty taels a month."
Unfortunately, no one dares to rent it.
"Sorry!" Leng Lingfeng turned and left.
Yang Tiezhu hurriedly called out to him, "Ten taels of silver is fine for rent, just give me ten years' rent at once."
"Old man, do you think I look like someone with that much money?"
Leng Lingfeng smiled and said, "How about this? I'll pay you for half a year first. I heard from your son-in-law that you're from Chishui Town. There's a Huitong Bank in Chishui Town, which happens to be one in the capital. I'll deposit ten taels of silver into the bank every month, and at the beginning of each month, you can go there and withdraw the money by mentioning my name."
As he said this, he put down another fifty taels of silver.
Mother Yang leaned over to Yang Tiezhu's ear and whispered, "Sixty taels of silver is quite a bit."
With Prince Wei around, she didn't dare think about the ten taels of silver per month. Yang Tiezhu wanted to take a gamble, so after signing the lease with Leng Lingfeng, he told him not to tell anyone that they lived in Chishui Town.
After saying that, he quickly packed up and left.
"Where's the eldest girl?"
The two of them didn't see Pan'er and his wife inside or outside, so they stood at the street corner, looking left and right. In a few hours, the sun would set, and Prince Wei would come looking for them, and they would be unable to leave.
"How about we go ahead and leave them a message?"
"What did you say!"
Mother Yang slapped her husband in dissatisfaction. Now her second daughter was not her biological daughter, and her third daughter hated them to death. She only had Pan'er left.
She couldn't afford to lose her only daughter again.
"I'm coming!"
Seeing two familiar faces emerge from the medicine shop not far ahead, Yang Tiezhu hurriedly pulled his wife over. Zheng Hao looked at their packages and asked, "Are you going back to Shangyang Village?"
"No?" Zheng Hao said, "The princess said that if you return to Shangyang Village, the donkey cart will be given to you. If not, forget it."
"Go back, go back, go back now." Yang Tiezhu quickly changed his words.
After a while, the donkey cart stopped in front of the drugstore. When the group was loading the cart with medicine, they saw the things they had lost and found, and burst into tears.
Zhang Fengshou whispered to Zheng Hao, "Do you still have the land and shop that the princess said she would give me?"
Zheng Hao said with a smile: "As servants, we dare not comment on the princess's thoughts. However, the princess is a kind master. As long as we servants serve her wholeheartedly, we have never treated her unfairly."
Zhang Fengshou didn't know whether he understood or not, and just kept nodding.
On the city gate, Lu Mingyang watched the donkey cart speeding away and smiled. If his father had truly offended a local bully, he would have been hanged from a tree tonight for trying to be clever.
"Let's go!" Lu Mingyang pulled his sister down the city wall. "I get ten taels of silver every month, and we don't know when it will stop. Dad should be careful with his plans and not waste money anymore."
Yang Nianshu asked, "Will he still have a little brother?"
"I guess so!" How could a person's lifelong obsession be easily changed? Lu Mingyang helplessly patted his sister's shoulder: "Let them be. It's not something we can change."
Yang Nian'er was dissatisfied: "Then what are we doing now?"
Lu Mingyang smiled and said, "Of course it's change, for those who want to change."
The two mounted their horses and headed for the military camp. Halfway along, they saw a familiar figure. By the river, Wei Luo was sitting by a fire, roasting something and spitting.
The secretary was on the grass, holding a pole and net to catch something.
The two men dismounted and walked over, seeing Wei Luo's twisted features and black mouth. The ground was littered with mutilated grasshoppers, some scorched and some dripping with green water.
"Cousin, what are you doing?"
"Nothing!" Wei Luo quickly stood up and hid the grasshopper behind him.
Yang Nianshu pulled Wei Luo's hand out and frowned, "Brother Wei, are you crazy? This is such a disgusting thing with a foul smell. How can it be delicious?"
Wei Luo looked at the girl in front of him, almost crying: "I just want to know how it feels when you eat it."
Yang Nian'er looked at that look, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She didn't know what was going on, so she turned and ran away.
Wei Luo chased after her and handed her a silver note worth 1,600 taels. He had kept the note in his arms for many days and hadn't dared to look for her. He didn't even dare to increase the amount of silver by a single tael, fearing she would be upset.
