Fortunately, Fang Lanhan is also a very pragmatic person. After realizing that his daughter will not come back, it is more important that the daughter naturally does not have the money in her hands.
He sighed and said, "After all, it's us who feel sorry for her, okay, since she doesn't want to see me, then I won't see her."
On the one hand, Zijuan felt that the old man was hypocritical, but on the other hand, she just continued calmly, "If you can figure it out, that would be the best."
After saying this, Zijuan just signaled to the guard to quickly get the contract that had been drafted and handed it to the other party.
"Old man, this is your daughter's contract. Now we are going to draw up a death contract again. If you are willing to put your signature on it, we will give you twenty taels of silver and money for carriage and medical treatment. Once you get out of here, You can go to the medical center to have a look at your injuries."
Regarding Zijuan's proposal, Fang Lanhan no longer hesitated. He couldn't read, so he didn't bother to read what was written on the paper. At the moment, he just made a mark on the paper.
After drawing the deposit, Zijuan took the contract and nodded with satisfaction.
Then Fang Lanhan asked Zijuan, "Girl, I've drawn the deposit and the contract has been concluded. Shouldn't the money you mentioned be given to me as well?"
Zijuan was not ambiguous at the moment. After all, there was no need to make a fuss about something that could be solved with twenty taels of silver. So at the moment, she just took out a bag of silver from her pocket and said, "Old man, here is a total of twenty taels of silver." Five taels of silver, please count it and see if you have this much silver in your hand?"
Hearing Zijuan's words, the old man nodded, and then after counting, Fang Lazyman left with satisfaction.
Zijuan only took this contract to talk to Zhou, and both parties were really happy at this moment.
When Fang Lazyhan arrived at the door, he naturally paid for his carriage first, and then the coachman kindly sent Fang Lazyhan to a medical clinic in the west of the city before leaving.
Later, Fang Lazy only asked the doctor to examine him in the medical clinic and left with the medicine. Naturally, there was no need to explain this.
But when Zijuan took the death deed and gave it to Zhou, Zhou only said to Zijuan, "Is that person gone?"
Hearing Zhou's words, Zijuan nodded, "I have left. I spent twenty-five taels of silver to sign a death contract with that person. From now on, this person will not come back to cause trouble."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good."
Zi Juan then took out the deed and said to Zhou respectfully, "Madam, this is the death contract for Fang Yue'er."
However, Mr. Zhou disagreed with this, "There is no need to put the deed in my hand, I don't need it."
Zijuan immediately whispered, "But wouldn't it be better if we kept it in case it is useful in the future?"
However, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but complain, "Everyone has been dealt with, what use is this contract? We can't use this contract to bring Fang Yue'er back from Lichun Court."
However, although Mrs. Zhou said this, she was not happy to see Zijuan at the moment, so after making a few remarks, Mrs. Zhou said to Zijuan, "Okay, I won't say it anymore. You can keep it for me. It's right." Bar?"
Zijuan nodded after hearing this.
Not wanting to finish the matter, Zhou suddenly said to Zijuan, "But Zijuan, I actually have something to tell you."
Seeing Mr. Zhou's serious face, Zijuan immediately became a little more serious.
"Madam, just say whatever you want."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou sighed, "Zijuan, how old are you this year?"
Zijuan heard this and whispered, "I am eighteen years old this year."
When she heard that Zijuan was eighteen, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but sigh, "Eighteen, that's a big girl."
When Zijuan heard Zhou's words, she also realized that there was clearly something in Zhou's words at this moment.
So she immediately said to Mrs. Zhou, "Madam, do you want to marry Zi Juan?"
Having said this, Zhou actually nodded silently.
Zijuan immediately exclaimed, "Madam, why? Why did you marry Zijuan off? Is there something wrong with what I did?"
Zhou took a deep look at Zi Juan and said, "Zi Juan, I don't mean to blame you. In fact, your brother told you about this marriage. He had written to you before, but I can't bear to leave you in my heart." , I didn’t tell you, but after thinking about it, I still think I should tell you about it.”
"Besides, life in our Minister's Mansion may not be easy, so there is no point in you staying here. In this case, you might as well go to Mengzhu County where your brother is currently located."
"And the marriage your brother proposed to you, I heard, is for you to be the first daughter-in-law of the grandson of a prominent local family. If that is the case, then it will be a very good marriage. You will have endless opportunities and glory in the future. Already."
Upon hearing that it was her brother's idea, Zijuan just whispered, "Even if it was my brother's idea, I don't want to leave you, madam."
Hearing Zijuan's words, Mrs. Zhou just sighed. She didn't have much affection for people. Apart from her own daughter, there was only one Zijuan, whom she regarded as half a daughter.
Although she also wanted Zijuan to take good care of herself, but now that such a good opportunity was in front of Zijuan, she naturally did not want to delay Zijuan's future.
What's more, Zijuan was originally a slave of their own family. They were kind to Zijuan's brother, who exempted him from being a slave and allowed him to go to school and gain fame. Now that his brother is an official in other places, his parents have already been taken into custody. The past has passed, and now if I put Zijuan back, their family can truly be reunited.
Zhou is very cruel to outsiders, but she is still very considerate of the people she likes.
So after that, Mrs. Zhou only advised Zijuan, "If you don't listen to your brother, why are you still unwilling to listen to me? Zijuan, you should go back. Our family has little hope now, but you are different. Your life has just begun, and with your brother and you, you can live well. If our family is in trouble in the future, how can I ask for your help again? "
Listening to Mrs. Zhou's consolation to her, although Zijuan still didn't want to leave, she was finally no longer as stubborn as before. She just looked at Mrs. Zhou in silence and said, "Madam, please let me think about it slowly. Wait. I’ve thought about it and I’ll tell you the answer tomorrow.”
Zhou was naturally willing to give the other party time to think. Anyway, if he didn't leave, she would persuade him again. She would not give up until Zijuan was willing to leave her home.
Zijuan was obviously confused because this happened so suddenly.
Therefore, the issue of Fang Yue'er's death contract was forgotten by her.
On the other side, in Xu's house, Xu Tianyi only said to Zhou Yaoniang, "Madam, I will go to Zhuque Street first to see what business is more suitable. I will not accompany you today."
Zhou Yaoniang just smiled when she heard this and said, "Okay, husband, you don't have to worry about me, as long as you can make progress."
After her words fell, Zhou Yaoniang suddenly asked Xu Tianyi, "By the way, husband, will you come back for lunch today?"
Hearing Zhou Yaoniang's question, Xu Tianyi only said, "There's no need for lunch."
Zhou Yaoniang asked again without giving up, "What about dinner?"
Xu Tianyi was not sure, "It's hard to say. If I come back, I will come back. If I don't come back, I will arrange for someone to come back and notify you."
Seeing Xu Tianyi say this, Zhou Yaoniang had no choice but to say yes.
And Xu Tianyi seemed determined to leave. Xu Tianyi left the Xu family in a hurry before Zhou Yaoniang could say anything else.
And when Zhou Yaoniang remembered that she had never asked Xu Tianyi if he had any money to spend, Xu Tianyi had already disappeared.
In desperation, Zhou Yaoniang could only go out to chase Xu Tianyi, but when she reached the shadow wall, Zhou Yaoniang could not catch up with Xu Tianyi.
On the contrary, at this time, she actually bumped into Wang Cai, who was arranged next to Xu Tianyi.
I saw that Wang Cai did not leave with his uncle, but only carried two bamboo cages in his hands.
Zhou Yaoniang couldn't help but asked Wang Cai, "Where is my uncle?"
Wang Cai also seemed a little surprised, "Isn't my uncle in the house?"
Around Zhou Yaoniang
The maid Xinghua immediately said, "My uncle just went out, and you didn't follow me out. Why are you still carrying two bamboo cages? What are you doing?"
Xinghua's words were somewhat reproachful, and Wang Cai only felt very aggrieved when he was being scolded.
"I didn't do anything. Last night my uncle asked the lady what she likes to eat. I said she likes to eat hairy crabs, so my uncle asked me to go out and sell hairy crabs. I went out early in the morning just to buy fresh hairy crabs, so I really don’t know where my uncle has gone?”.
Hearing Wang Cai's words, Xinghua looked inside. Then when she saw the fresh hairy crabs inside, she couldn't help but said, "Wow! There are some good things to eat today. I didn't expect that my uncle would be so serious to our young lady." Shang Xin, he can even think of this."
After hearing Xinghua's words, Zhou Yaoniang just smiled shyly.
Zhou Yaoniang then just said, "Let's wait until my uncle comes back to eat."
Xinghua immediately howled miserably, "Isn't this good? What if my uncle doesn't come back at noon?"
"Then we'll have dinner in the afternoon." Zhou Yaoniang said.
Xinghua immediately said, "What if my uncle doesn't come back at night?"
Zhou Yaoniang only continued, "Then we'll have it for lunch tomorrow."
"But the ingredients will no longer be fresh." At this moment, Wang Cai felt that Zhou Yaoniang's love brain seemed to have no brain.
But Zhou Yaoniang said without any concern, "If it's not fresh, it's not fresh. If my husband remembers that I like to eat hairy crabs, he is already very considerate."
Listening to them, they all felt that the uncle who was just talking was already very serious.
Wang Cai, who really got up early in the morning to buy hairy crabs, felt speechless for a while.
Is this okay for his uncle?
Maybe it can be counted?
But this kind of good is still too cheap, and it will definitely not reach the point where people are moved.
After all, it was not him who paid for the crabs, nor was he the one who bought the crabs.
How could he make everyone say good things about him just by speaking out.
