As for their general, he is like a spoiled son-in-law, lying there comfortably and recuperating, not worrying about other things, waiting for others to pamper him...
Fu Rong was shocked by the perverted words that popped up in his mind. He couldn't help but shiver and felt numb all over.
Illusion, illusion, this must be an illusion!
After Zheng Quchi finished discussing business with the doctor, he turned back to look for Liu Fengmian.
But he saw that his cloud-white robes were swaying and spread out on the chair, and a ring of luxurious fox fur reflected his magnificent appearance. His skin was so cold and pale due to blood loss that he was sickly, but his eyes didn't know where to focus at this time.
He spread out the sugar bag and took out one by one with his jade-white fingertips and put it into his mouth.
She found it strange that if he wanted to be sweet, he could just take one and sip it slowly, why would he do it in a way that looked like he was chewing candy?
Is this... a bad mood?
It was obvious that he was not like this before she left.
"Feng Mian, your foot is injured and you can't walk. It's better for me to carry you back."
She walked over and bent down, her black hair hanging down behind her shoulders. Although it sounded like she was discussing with him, in fact she didn't think he would reject her.
But sometimes, people who are too confident will be slapped in the face.
Just like this moment.
Just as she was halfway through her movement, Liu Fengmian reached out to stop her.
She was stunned for a moment and met his eyes.
It's a pity that his eyes are always covered with a hazy veil. No matter how close she gets, she can never see through the true emotions and thoughts in his eyes.
Just at this moment, she didn't know why he suddenly rejected her.
During the stalemate between the two, Fu Rong just went out for a trip and then came back: "Madam, your husband's foot is seriously injured. I called a carriage for you, so you don't have to work so hard. Besides, It's impossible for you, a woman, to hold your husband."
But when the medicine boy who was following the doctor heard this, he glanced at his doctor with a strange expression.
I'm afraid the doctor doesn't know that this lady looks very thin, but in fact she is very powerful. When she first came to the drug store, she held her husband in her arms and strode forward. She was so handy and stress-free.
"A carriage? How much does it cost?" Zheng Quchi frowned slightly and turned to look at the doctor.
As far as she knew, high-end means of transportation such as horse-drawn carriages in Fu County had always been only available to the rich, and ordinary people could not afford them.
Fu Rong was stunned for a moment, but when he saw her serious inquiry, she looked like a woman in the market haggling with a hawker over a copper plate.
There was a moment of disdain in his eyes, but at the same time he was also a little worried. If he said the price was more expensive, or told the real price of renting a carriage, she wouldn't just refuse to save money.
This general's wife seems to be somewhat stingy. Why?
It can't be that...the general hasn't provided her with household expenses, right?
He changed his tone and slapped his forehead: "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't explain it clearly. I happen to have something to do here and I have to go to Hegou Village. I just heard your husband say that you live there, so I thought of giving you a way. It’s okay.”
When she heard that it was free of charge, it was a relief for Zheng Quchi, who had just bought a new pair of shoes and socks and spent a lot of money on medical treatment and medicine. She immediately smiled and said gratefully to the doctor: "Thank you very much, doctor."
"Little things, things that happened by the way."
Seeing Zheng Quchi turning around again, this time intending to ignore his wishes, Fu Rong hurriedly stepped forward: "Madam, let me do it. You are so delicate and weak, how can you hold her in my arms?"
Zheng Quchi was about to say that her husband never liked being touched by outsiders, but she saw Fu Rong hugging him. He actually said nothing and had no objection from the beginning to the end.
Zheng Quchi stood aside and watched quietly, but felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.
He seemed unhappy when she hugged him just now.
Why, was it uncomfortable for her to hold him, or was he more satisfied with someone else's hold?
Fu Rong picked up Yu Wensheng and got into the carriage parked at the door of the drug store.
Zheng Quchi followed. She had seen carts and carts before, but this was the first time she saw a carriage of this era.
She momentarily forgot the discomfort Liu Fengmian had brought her just now, and walked around it a few times, even touching the main components before she could bear it.
The rear part of the car is just a big log. On the whole, it is responsible for bearing the weight of the car, and the wheels are passed through both ends... It does not look like the common post-modern look, it is more primitive and ancient.
There are parts such as the roof, side windows, ears, wheels, grilles, front windows, etc. Its complexity is a bit cumbersome, and I don’t know if it is stable and comfortable enough to sit on.
"Madam, have you never seen a carriage?" Fu Rong poked his head out of the side window and joked.
Zheng Quchi raised his eyes and glanced at him. Although this doctor looked middle-aged, he had the mentality of a young man and was somewhat nosy.
"I haven't seen it before. This is the first time." She answered without any surprise.
On the contrary, Fu Rong avoided her eyes: "It's just a carriage, it's not rare. If we leave Taiyuan, carriages of this level should have been eliminated long ago."
"Oh, what do the carriages in Taiyuan look like? There are very few people in Fu County who travel with carriages. Basically, all they see are horses. Just now, I saw that the inner wheel of the carriage has the word "Yuan" engraved on it. What does this mean?"
"Yuan, represents the Beiyuan Kingdom. This carriage was designed by the early wheelwrights of the Beiyuan Kingdom. It has long been useless in other places, but there are still a few of them in Fu County."
After several people got on the carriage, Zheng Quchi saw that the doctor was quite knowledgeable, so he started chatting with him.
During this time, she learned that the degree of involution in the carriage industry was not as easy as that of other industries. After all, it was a means of transportation for wealthy people.
Only by selling high-end goods to rich people can you make a lot of money. This is why carmakers are working hard to develop and win customers every year.
... She also wants to start it. This is a hugely profitable business, and it can make money faster than selling tables, chairs, beds, etc.
She can even design a "RV", a multifunctional carriage that can be used both for living and traveling.
That's right, that's the decision. After she finishes building the city wall and has some savings, she will do research and make money by building cars.
In the meantime, she made a request to the doctor, if she could let the carriage go to the wine shop to sell Tusu wine first, saying that she had an appointment with someone to wait there.
After a while, the carriage stopped. Zheng Quchi got out of the car and looked around. He saw Master Li waiting there with two small jars of Tusu wine at the wine shop.
"Who is that person?"
Fu Rong poked his head out of the side window and saw Zheng Quchi running towards the waiting man. He felt familiar for some reason.
"People who just checked it not long ago, don't remember?"
Yu Wensheng curled his lips.
Ah, he remembered.
"Is it Master Li? But how come he knows Madam?"
Fu Rong rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers and showed an unreasonable and weird smile.
Ha, it looks like he's catching a hidden rat.
General, are my subordinates going to make meritorious deeds as soon as they arrive?
Master Li saw Zheng Quchi getting off the carriage. At the same time, he also noticed a line of sight inside the carriage. It was very sharp, like a knife, probing and peeling back and forth on various parts of his body.
"Did you see anything?" Yu Wensheng asked him.
Fu Rong put away the expression on his face, and for the sake of caution, he said: "General, this Master Li is weird, but he can't see anything bright for a while. You can give me some time, and let me take a closer look at it." Fan."
Master Li asked Zheng Quchi: "That carriage is?"
Zheng Quchi told him what happened, and then said: "Have you told the county government about what happened before? How did they respond?"
"I told you, they said they would send people to investigate thoroughly, and they would notify us when there is any news."
After hearing this, Zheng Quchi was a little disappointed, but he felt it was reasonable.
Master Li asked her: "Do you need to buy anything else?"
Because Liu Fengmian's foot was injured, Zheng Quchi was not in the mood to go shopping anymore, so he said: "Basically, we have bought everything we should buy. Let's go back and hang up the peach charms and put up the New Year pictures, and we can celebrate New Year's Eve."
"Okay, let's go back."
He suddenly saw a hint of red on Zheng Quchi's neck, which was obscured by the collar: "The injury on your neck... was not treated with medicine?"
Speaking of this, Zheng Quchi forgot about it.
She reached out and touched it, feeling a slight sting: "It's just a small injury. If you don't touch it, it won't hurt anymore."
Zheng Quchi smiled broadly.
Seeing her say this, Master Li stopped saying anything. There were differences between men and women, especially since she was a married woman. To care too much was a kind of transgression.
After getting on the carriage, the four positions were very particular. Fu Rong was originally sitting next to Yu Wensheng, but as soon as Master Li came, he took the initiative to sit next to Master Li and stared at him with a strange smile. Watch him.
As for Master Li, he sat with an expressionless face, no matter how the other party looked at him, he was as steady as an old dog.
As soon as Zheng Quchi sat down, Liu Fengmian, who had been ignoring her until now, suddenly took her hand.
She was a little surprised, and then a force pulled her over and lay down on his lap.
"wind……"
"do not move."
Yu Wensheng tapped her forehead with a cold finger and pressed her down.
Immediately, he took out a small copper medicine box with blue flowers, unscrewed it, and dipped a little of the green ointment in the box on his finger.
He raised her chin to reveal the wound on her neck. His cold fingertips went down along the delicate skin until he gently touched the wound, and then carefully applied ointment to dissolve it.
Only then did Zheng Quchi realize that he was giving her medicine.
Feeling his unfamiliar but gentle strength, she turned her eyes and looked at his face, which was focused on applying the medicine. The wrinkles and unhappiness that had arisen in her heart seemed to be smoothed away in an instant.
"Why do you have medicine?"
"I just picked it up at the drug store."
"What does it cure?" she asked knowingly.
Yu Wensheng also responded to her question with a slight smile: "I'll treat your painless injury."
Zheng Quchi first reacted to these words, and then he couldn't help but laugh.
It turned out that he heard her conversation with Master Li, and then he knew that she had an injury on her neck. She had just wondered how he knew that she had an injury on her neck because he had an eye disease and poor eyesight.
"I didn't expect that you are so funny. Anyway, I have nothing to do now. Let me tell you a joke. By the way..."
The sweet and warm atmosphere of the couple opposite made Fu Rong amazed.
It turns out that a married man is really in a completely different state than when he was single.
Although the general in front of him was a general who had disguised his identity and changed into another temperament, his natural actions towards his wife were not forced or pretentious at all.
And this lady seemed to be different from what he thought at first.
I just heard her talk about the car manufacturing industry in a clear and logical way, and she has quite a bit of craftsmanship experience, but it’s not that she is completely devoid of knowledge and merit.
Also, the jokes she told... were not funny at all, not even one-tenth as good as his.
"Hahahaha... You are still asking whether grandpa has finally grown up. Is this man a fool?" Fu Rong patted his thigh and laughed.
The other three people all looked at him.
"Ahem, it's not funny at all. It's just that I'm not very funny." He rubbed his eyebrows, and then he became interested: "How about I tell you one too."
Yu Wensheng ignored him. Did he know that his ability to tell jokes was probably about the same as Zheng Quchi's? He was the kind of person who couldn't hold back his laughter until others made fun of him.
Master Li has always been aloof and not interested in these at all.
Seeing that no one was cheering, Zheng Quchi clapped his hands happily as if he had found a companion: "Mr. Fu, here comes one."
He introduced his surname as Fu.
Fu Rong rubbed his hands and said enthusiastically: "Okay, let me start. There is a person who specializes...Pfft, hahaha, he then...hahaha..."
"Yes, yes, have you finished? Then I remembered another one..."
These two men told jokes with complete disregard for the lives of others.
And this car of people arrived at Sang's house amidst the increasingly cold jokes between the two of them.
It has to be said that Zheng Quchi has some social symptoms. With her around, there will be no silence or boring moments. Even Fu Rong, who had a strong opinion of her at the beginning, was buffered by dozens of cold jokes. Become kind and cheerful.
"Mr. Zhong, why did you get out of the car too?"
Fu Rong got out of the car with Yu Wensheng. After all, he had nothing serious to do in this remote village, so he told another lie: "Ah, I suddenly remembered that this relative of mine in Hegou Village It seems that I moved away not long ago. Look at my memory. Well, it was a waste of time. So what should I do today? It’s a deserted house on New Year’s Eve, but I have to eat cold food alone.”
He sighed repeatedly with a sad look on his face.
When Zheng Quchi heard this, she wanted to pretend she didn't understand. After all, the doctor's words sounded quite false and his behavior was weird. She didn't want to attract a wolf into the house.
But at this time Liu Fengmian said: "In that case, let's invite the doctor to celebrate the festival at home."
Zheng Quchi was surprised.
He doesn't look like a warm-hearted person who would invite others to his home.
If this doctor were a woman, she would suspect that he was in love with someone else, ah, it was love at first sight.
"Isn't it possible? Can your brother invite his friends to celebrate the New Year together, but I can't?" Yu Wensheng turned his head and asked her.
This sentence touched Zheng Quchi's guilty conscience. She said sternly: "You are the male master of our family, so your words are naturally effective. I am surprised. I just feel that it is rare for you to be so close to someone and take the initiative to invite you to celebrate the festival. It's a bit... I’m just happy for you.”
These words immediately made everyone present feel happy.
Fu Rong discovered that not all country girls are rude, rude and ignorant people.
And this Master Li, he has many ways to find out who he is.
Who is Fu Rong with his ghostly eyes? His mind contains the various origins of characters from the Seven Kingdoms and strangers. As long as he finds some clues, he can reveal his true form.
When Brother Sang saw that Zheng Quchi came back from the market and not only did not drive away Master Li, but also brought an extra person with him, his expression was simply wonderful.
