"Brother Chunxu, why are you so happy?"
"But Landlord Jiang is willing to lend money?"
Seeing Brother Chunxu walking out with a smile on his face, Zheng Chui went up and asked several questions.
Chunxu smiled and nodded, but still did not answer Zheng Zhui's words.
"Brother Chunxu, what method did you use to make Landlord Jiang willing to lend money?" Zheng Zhui asked.
Chunxu walked on the street and saw the strange looks from the people around him. Chunxu smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that Brother Chunxu was unwilling to say anything, Zheng Zhui had no choice but to stop asking any more questions. When he saw the medicine bag in Chunxu's hand, he glanced at his forehead again and continued to ask:
"Brother Chunxu, are you sick? Also, why is the injury on your forehead so serious again? Did Landlord Jiang make things difficult for you again and ask you to do something immoral?"
Chunxu smiled and patted Zheng Zhui on the shoulder: "Today, I fainted in Jiang's house."
"Brother Chunxu, did you faint? Why did you faint, but that bitch landlord beat you?" Zheng Zhui said.
Chunxu smiled slightly and patted Zheng Zhui on the shoulder: "I'll tell you more when I get home. From now on, after the Lantern Festival, I'll lie on the bed all day long, wouldn't it be nice?"
The more Zheng Zhui listened, the more confused he became. He was obviously injured and still fainted. How could he be so happy just staying on the bed all day?
In order to get an answer, Zheng Zhui had to wait until he got home before asking for the reason.
After returning home, Chunxu walked to the fire room with a happy face carrying the medicine bag. After putting down the medicine bag, he went upstairs, just like a rich and powerful young man from a wealthy family.
"Brother Zheng, what's wrong with Brother Chunxu?" Xi Ran walked over in confusion.
Zheng Chui didn't understand either and was dumbfounded.
"Brother Chunxu seems to be a different person today." Zheng Zhui said to himself.
After listening to Zheng Zhui's words, Xi Ran asked again: "I asked you to follow him this morning. Did you see anything?"
Zheng Zhui shook his head: "I didn't see it. I only knew that the landlord was willing to lend money to Yuzhi County, and he got the side medicine and was very happy. Do you think Brother Chunxu was fooled by the landlord before he was willing to lend money?" ?”
"Brother Zheng, don't talk nonsense. I'm going to take a look." After saying that, Xi Ran walked up.
Zheng Chui, who really wanted to know the truth of the matter, also hurriedly followed behind and headed upstairs.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Chunxu lying on the bed and looking out the window with a silly smile on his face.
"Brother Chunxu, what's wrong with you?" Xi Ran asked with a worried look on his face.
After hearing Xi Ran's voice, Chunxu turned around, looked at Xi Ran's face, and smiled: "It's okay, I'm happy."
After saying that, Chunxu turned his head again, looked out the window, and smiled foolishly again.
"Brother Chunxu, what's wrong with you? Don't scare us." Zheng Zhui said worriedly.
Chunxu smiled and said, "Go and buy a pot of wine. Let's have two drinks."
"Hey, okay."
As long as he sees Brother Chunxu able to eat, Zheng Chui is very willing.
After saying that, he hurried out and prepared wine and food.
Xi Ran in the room was confused and had no idea what was going on.
"Brother Chunxu, tell me, what did you do?" Xi Ran was very curious and worried.
"I'll tell you later."
When the food and wine arrived, Chunxu quickly picked up the wine bowl and started drinking.
Before Chunxu picked up the chopsticks to pick up a piece of food, the two people on the side kept staring at Chunxu.
"Why are you looking at me?" Chunxu looked at the two of them.
"Brother Chunxu, tell me." Xi Ran asked in a gentle voice.
"That's right, Brother Chunxu, tell me. What makes you so happy? Besides, Landlord Jiang is willing to lend money, and the person borrowing the money is not you." Zheng Chui said.
Chunxu hurriedly took a mouthful of food, smiled slightly, looked at the two of them, and then said:
"Landlord Jiang finally lent money to the magistrate. In this way, we can be stable for a few days in the future."
"Brother Chunxu, wouldn't it be better if Yu Zhixian left? If a good official comes, maybe we won't have to do this. Besides, if Landlord Jiang is willing to lend money, that's Yu Zhixian's business." Zheng Chui said.
"Yes, Brother Chunxu. Look at your injury. It's serious again." Xi Ran said with concern.
Chunxu smiled slightly and looked at Zheng Chui: "Didn't I tell you before that this matter is extremely important to us? Have you forgotten again?"
"Brother Chunxu, you didn't say it, right?" Zheng Chui said.
Chunxu shook his head helplessly: "I remember what I said at the time. Now that the matter is over and you haven't remembered it, I'll say it again."
"Landlord Jiang borrowed 20,000 silver taels from the magistrate. Although it has nothing to do with us, he is an important person to us. Last time, magistrate Yu turned his face and fought with Landlord Jiang, and Landlord Jiang held a grudge against him."
If it weren't for Magistrate Yu being here, I'm afraid Xi Ran you would just forget about it and not talk about it. If you get married privately according to the "Mexican Law" without obtaining official documents, and if the government finds out later, you will get slapped with trouble. "
"It's okay for us men to get slapped, but not for you women. Not only will you lose your face if you get slapped, but you will also be reviled by others, and your life will be worse than death. By doing this, Yu Zhixian is good enough for us. "
After hearing Chunxu's words, Xi Ran was a little moved, and Zheng Zhui on the side also knew Chunxu's painstaking efforts.
"Brother Chunxu, what's the matter with the injury on your forehead and your fainting?" Zheng Zhui has always been curious about this matter.
Chunxu smiled slightly: "The landlord is actually not a bad person. He asked me to kneel on the ground and kowtow a few times until he is satisfied."
Hearing Chunxu's words, Zheng Zhui interrupted: "Brother Chunxu, isn't this bad?"
Chunxu smiled with a smile on his face and shook his head: "If you can get 20,000 silver taels easily like me, wouldn't everyone in the world be rich?"
"Brother Chunxu, what about fainting?" Zheng Zhui asked curiously.
Xi Ran on the side also wanted to hear it very much. She wanted to learn from Chun Xu and help him solve some problems in the future.
After all, I owe him a lot.
Chunxu smiled, then looked around. Seeing no one around, Chunxu moved his head closer and said, "Actually, I didn't really faint."
"It's not true." As soon as he said this, Chun Xu made some moves, and Zheng Zhui hurriedly stopped speaking loudly.
"How did you faint? Is it true or false? Even if it's false, the doctor can tell it right away." Zheng Zhui whispered.
Chunxu smiled slightly and continued to talk about his own affairs: "Previously, I asked for a medicine. It takes two or three hours to take the medicine before it takes effect. After taking this medicine, I fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, I lost all body consciousness, and my blood appeared to be blocked."
"In Jiang's house, after the landowner saw me fainting, he invited the doctor. The doctor used acupuncture to dredge the blood. Although it had a slight effect, he still had his life in danger without taking the antidote."
"Then can you take this antidote?" Xi Ran asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, I've already taken it. This antidote is strange to say. After taking it, your mouth will smile unconsciously, and it will take about half an hour to recover."
"No wonder you laugh like that." Zheng Zhui smiled slightly.
"The medicine?"
"That medicine is considered a tonic. If you don't take it, you won't be able to take it. Just boil it and take it later." Chunxu replied.
"good."
Just when a few people were about to use their chopsticks, a familiar voice shouted from downstairs.
"Zhang Chunxu! Zhang Chunxu!"
After hearing the sound, Chunxu calmed down his expression and said, "The magistrate is here."
"Is there anything going on with him?" Xi Ran asked worriedly.
"Don't be afraid, go down and have a look."
After saying that, Chunxu stood up quickly, put on his shoes, and hurried downstairs.
"Yuzhi County, why are you here?" Chunxu greeted him with a smile.
Looking at Yu Zhixian's happy smile, I thought there was nothing more to ask for.
"Zhang Chunxu, I know that you have reached an agreement with Landlord Jiang. Just now Landlord Jiang ordered someone to bring you 20,000 taels of silver. I am here to thank you."
"Yu Zhixian is so polite. It's just a little help from ordinary people. Besides, it was also thanks to Yu Zhixian's help last time."
Yu Zhixian smiled broadly and shouted: "Bring it up!"
I saw a wooden box coming over carried by two government officials.
"Open!" Yu Zhixian ordered.
I saw that this box was full of silver. Although there was only one box, so much silver was enough to buy a good house in Fucheng.
"Zhang Chunxu, you have done a good job in helping me this time. This has prevented me from transferring Mo Zhang away, and also preserved my reputation. This hundred taels of silver will be regarded as your reward." Yu Zhixian said with a smile.
Seeing so much money, Chunxu wanted to accept it, but people's hearts were unpredictable, so Chunxu chose to refuse:
"In the magistrate's county, what the ordinary people have done is just a small amount of money. Moreover, the ordinary people have done so much and it is not worth these silver coins. In the magistrate's county, it is better to take it back." Chunxu refused.
Seeing Chunxu's refusal, Yu Zhixian continued: "Zhang Chunxu, you're too polite. Without you, I would have to go to Mozhang in a few days to live a miserable life on earth. How could I stay so leisurely in Xitong County?" among.”
Anyway, he couldn't take the money anyway, so Chunxu had to change his mind:
"The grassroots people do not want anything else but for the sake of Xitong County. They want the Liming people to retain good officials like Yu Zhixian. The grassroots people will not accept it. If Yu Zhixian insists on giving it, then the grassroots people hope that Yu Zhixian will treat these silver taels as county Ya gong's silver, just in case of emergencies." Chunxu said.
Listening to Chunxu's words, it seems reasonable to think that if the county government did not have the support of landlord Jiang this time, the county government would not be able to provide so much silver.
"Well, I know your thoughts. Seeing that you are injured this time, I hereby find you this medicine that is better than the trauma medicine. This medicine is called Suhao Medicine. Don't look at it. The name is ordinary, but the medicine is very effective. This...you should be able to accept it, right?"
Thinking about it, this medicine is more peaceful than that box of silver. After Chunxu took it, he thanked him: "Thank you so much, Magistrate, for your thoughtfulness."
"I still have important matters to attend to, so I will stay here soon."
"Yu Zhixian, walk slowly."
