Chapter 129(1/2)
Ten days later, mid-March.
In the evening, it was raining outside the window. Before the hour hand of the Western bell ringing in the living room reached five o'clock, it was dark. The servants of the Su family picked up the lights in the room where some people were walking around at night.
Ye Yunjin sat alone in the account room, dialing the abacus at the account book in his hand, and the beads were flying. In fact, the people were sure that the accounts that could not be wrong even if they closed their eyes, but they had already missed several times just now.
She felt a little restless and stopped, and wanted to change things, so she planned to patrol the warehouse.
Recently, in Huangmeitian, the medicinal materials in the warehouse are most likely to avoid this kind of weather. If there is any moisture-proof mistake, it is not a trivial matter.
In her life, it can be said that in addition to her daughter, business is the meaning of her life since the day she married into the Su family.
She didn't feel that she loved this thing very much, but if she let go, or if she lost her virtue, what else could she do when she lived from morning to night?
At this time, Honglian was busy preparing for dinner at home. Ye Yunjin took an umbrella himself, and didn't want to follow her. She was going to the warehouse behind her alone. Suddenly, she heard footsteps chasing her behind her. Seeing that Su Zhong, who was in charge of the medicine shop during the day, hurriedly chased her up. After confirming that there was no one around, she came up and whispered carefully: "Shopkeeper, the third leader of the Gangshuihui Association passed by the county town and went to our Tiandexing to get medicine. This is the prescription. I'll bring it to you by the way."
He took out a prescription from his sleeve and handed it over. Then he didn't stop for a long time and turned around and left.
prescription!
Ye Yunjin was a little unbelievable at first.
So many years!
He even asked her to wait for a prescription sent by that person?
Ye Yunjin's face turned pale and stared at the prescription in her hand, her eyes fell on the word "angelica" written on the paper, which was sandwiched in the names of several rows of medicines.
So many years have passed. Although she has not forgotten the words she said many years ago in the early morning, she thought the other party had forgotten them long ago.
He still remembered that her heart was beating fast.
Suddenly, after a moment, I came to my senses and another unknown sign came into my heart.
That man was so cruel that he could last for ten or twenty years and never meet her privately.
Now I suddenly want to see her!
Is the rumors outside the recent past true?
The old guy can't stand the injuries he suffered, he is really about to lose his life?
Her hand holding Fang Zi was shaking slightly, and a sense of panic came towards her.
In the early spring and evening rain, it was endless. After Su Zhong gave the prescription, it soon became dark.
That was a long time ago. Before the female princess was born, one time, the female shopkeeper had privately advised Su Zhong that one day if Wang Niqiu took the prescription to his own medicine shop to get the medicine, he would remember it and take the prescription to her.
Before the pharmacy is closed every night, it is necessary to sort out the prescriptions that have been caught during the day, and no one can be lost. This matter is important, and Su Zhong personally took care of it.
But so many years have passed, and such a thing has never happened, so that Su Zhong had already forgotten that there was such a command. This evening, when he saw Wang Nieqiu coming, he was still wondering if King Zheng Longwang's injury had not been cured. He was a little worried. When he left Fang Zi and took it back, he suddenly remembered that the female shopkeeper had such a command in his early years. He was shocked and natural. He didn't show any expression on the surface. He hurried back while the friend didn't pay attention to taking it.
After handing over the prescription, Su Zhong was uneasy and ate a few bites of food randomly, but didn't go anywhere, just waiting in his house.
He had a premonition that the female shopkeeper might be going out tonight.
No one else can do the work of carts, so he has to do it himself.
After so many years, some things have never been mentioned explicitly, but the female shopkeeper probably knew that he, the manager, should have known something by mistake, so he told him such a thing.
Waiting for the summons, he sat in the room and faced the oil lamp. He heard the rustling sound of the night rain hitting the trees in the courtyard, and he felt enlightened.
His surname is Su, and he is a distant relative of the Su family. Why did he, a man surnamed Su, become Ye Yunjin's own person? It's a long story to say.
At the beginning, he was a clerk in the Su family pharmacy. Because he was diligent in his work, kind-hearted, and able to write and calculate, he was attracted by the old master of the Su family and transferred to the account room for several years. However, this aroused the jealousy of a major supervisor at that time. Later, he joined forces with the clerk to frame him and framed him for being corrupt.
The old man was so ill that he believed it, and Su Zhong couldn't argue. He was about to sue, but Ye Yunjin, who had only been married to the Su family for a year, stood up and found out the truth and helped him clear the charge.
It turned out to be a trick of thieves calling for thieves.
Although this big manager is an old man from the Su family, his old boss has been sick in recent years. The young master Su Mingsheng is not a material for business at all. The young grandmother Ye Yunjin is young and a woman. Naturally, he didn't take it seriously. He took advantage of the convenience of being in charge of the drug shop for many years and secretly greed for Mo's money and framed Su Zhong.
After driving away the chief manager, Ye Yunjin, who had completely taken over the family, reused Su Zhong.
After repaying her favor, Su Zhong naturally felt grateful and loyal to her.
In Su Zhong's eyes, the female shopkeeper Ye Yunjin is smart and strong, not inferior to men.
It has been almost thirty years since she married into the Su family. Even when the old man just died and the Su family was in the most difficult years, Su Zhong never saw her cry, whether in front of or behind.
It is precisely because of this that the only time Su Zhong encountered her in his life that he was impressed by the impression that he still remembered.
Until now, when I think about it, Su Zhong still feels complicated and dare not even think about it.
The reason why I dare not think too much is that the female shopkeeper lost his composure when he caught him was related to King Zheng Long.
At that time, Ye Yunjin was just a 19-year-old young woman. She had only been married to the Su family for two or three years, and Zheng Longwang was not the current Zheng Longwang. At that time, he was just a sailor on the red boat of the government organization.
There are many sayings about how the female shopkeeper and Zheng Longwang know each other so far, but in fact, no one knows this better than Su Zhong.
The first year when Ye Yunjin married into the Su family, her husband Su Mingsheng lived in the outdoor room for a long time and refused to come back. The Su family's business affairs were completely ignored. The three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan held medicinal materials gatherings every spring and autumn, and it was a big deal. When the spring meeting came that year, Ye Yunjin personally asked her to beg her husband, asked him to come back and take someone to attend the meeting. Her husband laughed at her and said that since the old man married him a big-footed wife who could be the leader of the family, she would let her go there instead of him.
Spring meetings are in other places, and it takes one or two months to go back and forth. At that time, the waters will fight intravenously, and it is useless. Water thieves appear on the river, and even boatmen will hire guards when they go out.
Seventeen-year-old Ye Yunjin gritted her teeth and came back to hire someone to go to the Spring Festival in person.
That time, Su Zhong also walked with him. On the way, the boat met an injured person floating in the river. Looking at the phone clothes, he looked like a sailor on the red boat.
In that year, the red boats in the government were also assigned, and sailors often fought with each other.
The man looked like he had been cut by a knife and fell into the water. He was already dying and was about to be unable to hold on. The manager of the Su family was afraid of causing trouble and did not want to save the person, but Ye Yunjin opposed it and took the person onto the boat with her insistence.
The injured person who fell into the water was Wang Niqiu. He was rescued. A few days later, a Red Boat sailor heard the news and came to pick up his sworn brothers.
The leader of this sailor was the later King Zheng Long. In this way, Ye Yunjin met King Zheng Long. In order to repay her for saving her brother, her return journey was escorted by him and others.
After that, Ye Yunjin went to the next few Spring and Autumn Chambers of Commerce by himself. Without exception, the back and forth waterways were escorted by King Zheng Long himself. The Su family's ship was safe and safe, and there was no accident again.
But rumors spread.
Su Mingsheng, who was outside, heard the discussion and said that the young and beautiful young lady of the Su family had an affair with a Hongboat sailor named Zheng. She was furious and ran back.
Although he was angry that Ye Yunjin had occupied the position of the woman he loved, he did not like her strong personality, and she did not even have the gentleness and charm of women in the room, and was cold and boring. But when he heard that she had an affair with others, she could not bear it and did not dare to find the man with a fierce face and scar on his face, he made a big fuss with Ye Yunjin and did not allow her to show up again. Ye Yunjin ignored her husband. But in the next autumn meeting, King Zheng Longwang did not appear again and no longer escorted the Su family's ship.
In this way, Ye Yunjin served the old master of the Su family who was ill in bed, while supporting the Su family business alone. When she married into the Su family for two years and was nineteen years old, the old master passed away. The funeral was over here and the storm broke out again, and the creditors came to take over the house.
Only then did she realize that her husband had been in great deficit outside the past two years and owed a lot of debts. He waited for the old man to die. As soon as he died, he stole the deed when he came back. He was so lucky that he didn't dare to sell all of them, but he sold half of the shops and hid after taking the money, so he didn't dare to see Ye Yunjin in the face.
Ye Yunjin was so angry that his hands and feet were cold, and he fainted on the spot. After waking up, he became ill.
She is a very strong woman who wants to be face-saving. If she can hide bad things here on weekdays, she must hide them from her family members in the provincial capital. But this time the matter was too big and it couldn't be kept in trouble. Her brother Ye Ruchuan was furious when he heard the news and ran to find his brother-in-law, scolded him, and wanted to cut off the relationship. Su Mingsheng was in a bad mood and still hid without seeing anyone. Ye Ruchuan was anxious and took his sister back to his parents' home on the spot.
Although Su Mingsheng is addicted to the wind and moon and only eats, drinks and has fun, he is not a stupid person. As soon as his wife leaves, the Su family becomes in a mess.
He wanted to fight for the man's anger in front of Ye Yunjin and make up his business by himself, but without this ability, he couldn't stand the hardship of doing business at all. After a few days, he was so anxious that he pulled his face down and wanted to pick up people. Unexpectedly, when he got on the carriage, he tripped and fell down his leg, so he had to send Su Zhong to tell him his regret on his behalf. In any case, he would take his mistress back.
Su Zhong went to the Ye family and explained to the male owner, and repeatedly apologized. Ye Ruchuan was still angry and said that he would follow his sister's wishes.
Su Zhong has been with the female shopkeeper for two years and has somehow touched her temperament. When he met Ye Yunjin, he didn't mention Su Mingsheng at all. He only said that after she left, the Su family's business was in chaos. Not only that, many customers were also anxious to wait for her to discuss the business matters that had not yet finished before.
The Su family’s business is the hard work of the female shopkeeper.
Ye Yunjin said nothing. After a night, he got on the carriage silently and set out on the way back to the Xu Mansion.
Although the hostess was back on the road, she seemed depressed and absent-minded along the way. He didn't dare to urge him, so she walked slowly.
It took five days to travel from the provincial capital to the county capital, and it took only five days to arrive at the capital city on the afternoon of the fifth day.
If I was anxious, I would continue walking directly, and I would be able to return to the Su family later at night.
But when Su Zhong saw that the hostess seemed unwilling to continue rushing, he arranged for a night and planned to continue on the road the next day.
Then, that night, something happened that made Su Zhong still feel frightened when he remembered it.
Late at night, Su Zhong was thinking about the mistress's affairs and couldn't sleep. Suddenly, he heard the mistress living next door making a noise about opening the door. He seemed to have gone out. He was worried and got up and went out. He found that she was heading towards the dock alone and did not dare to get close. He followed her from a distance and finally saw her near a courtyard dock where sailors lived.
She met a man by the water in the middle of the night, and the two stood opposite each other.
At that time, the night was dark and the distance was a bit far, but Su Zhong still recognized it. The man was Zheng Longwang.
Su Zhong was shocked, and he didn't expect that the young hostess, who was usually strong, would cry in front of King Zheng Long.
Intermittently, he vaguely heard Ye Yunjin say that she didn't want to live such a life anymore. Her brother didn't force her to stay in the Su family. As long as he nodded, she wanted nothing, took the divorce letter and followed him.
"...If you are afraid of gossiping, you can take me out of here and go far to a place where no one knows us... You don't have to worry about your future livelihood, and you don't have to fight and kill like you are now. I can do business, we can open a shop and live a safe life..."
King Zheng Long was silent at first, but for a long time, he spoke and refused the hostess, saying that he was definitely not good, and that he was a person who had today but not tomorrow, which would implicate her.
"I'm not afraid of being impaired! As long as you don't dislike me, I'm not afraid of anything."
The hostess' tone seemed to be begging.
But the man was as strong as a stern person. No matter how she begged or cried, the man opposite was unmoved at all.
The hostess' mood finally calmed down slowly and stopped crying.
"It turns out that I was wrong, and I thought you were interested in me, and I told you to laugh."
She nodded, suppressed her voice, and said word by word.
"I'll disturb you tonight."
She turned around and left.
"Ye!"
