(The second volume begins, today's chapter is updated for the first fan's night bone knocking last month!)

After the negotiations and the transaction was reached, Cui Shanfu's face was still not very good-looking, but at least he still asked the kitchen to arrange food. The smile on Wang's face was also a little nicer. This woman was as smart as a ghost. Although Zheng's dowry was finally compensated and another 3,000 guan was taken out, it calmed down the conflict with Zhang and Zheng's families, saved their own industry, and obtained 30% of the alkaline stocks. She felt that she would still make a profit in the long run.

Zhang Chao felt that the woman Wang was smart, but she was too smart.

"I brought some gifts to Thiran Niang. Can you invite Thiran Niang to come out and see you?"

Wang laughed and said, "Of course, I'll ask someone to invite you."

Zhang Yingying had known that Zhang Chao had come, but there was a housekeeper outside the hall guarding him, and neither the red line nor the pillar could get close to inquire. She knew that Zhang Chao must have come to show off with his father and Wang as agreed today, but she had no idea whether the negotiation could be completed in the end.

When she heard that Wang sent someone to invite her, she was still a little worried.

"What did my mother ask me to do?"

"I don't know this old body, but Thirteenth Lady went over and knew it."

With a little nervous mood, Cui Yingying and Hong Shi came to the living room, but saw that Zhang Chaozheng and Cui Shanfu were talking and laughing in the hall, and Wang was actually entertaining Sanlang with a smile on his face.

This scene made Cui Yingying stunned at the door.

"Thirteen Niang is here, hurry up, come here to sit here." Wang stood up and waved to Thirteen Niang with a smile.

Cui Yingying felt that today was too abnormal, why did Wang do this today?

She looked at Zhang Chao, and Zhang Chao smiled and nodded at her. This nod made her feel relieved. This man could always make her feel at ease.

In the hall, everyone kept laughing, and Zhang Chao's face was stiff when he smiled.

After the meal, Cui Shanfu gave Zhang Chao and Shisanniang the opportunity to sit in the garden. The Wang family sent a maid to follow him. This is also the rule of the big family. Even if they are engaged, as long as they are not married yet, it is very difficult to get along alone.

Fortunately, these maids and maids were also quite tactful, so they just followed from afar.

"What the hell is going on? Wang kept smiling at me just now, smiling like a night owl, and my hair stood up." When I sat down in the garden pavilion, Thirteenth Lady immediately asked Zhang Chao impatiently.

"The negotiation is completed. They promised to hand over to you the dowry of Mrs. Zheng, including the newly added industries in the past twenty years."

"Really, how did you do it?"

"Learn it with reason and move it with emotion."

Thirteen Niang snorted, "I don't believe it."

"I can't hide anything from you. I even negotiated a deal with them. The Cui family invested in Zhangjiazhongfang with 3,000 guan, accounting for 30% of the shares."

"What else?"

"When the Zhang family builds a soap shop in the future, the Cui family can invest in the first place."

"What else?"

"And I will not dig out the corners of the Cui family's industry anymore."

"That's all?"

Zhang Chao nodded, with the Cui family here, Zhang Chao and Shisanniang sat across the table, far away. Zhang Chao had to pretend to be serious and could not touch Shisanniang's little hand, let alone kiss her lips.

Thirteenth Lady sighed softly, "Thank you, Saburo."

"What are you grateful for? I'll come to welcome you in one month."

Thirteen Niang smiled softly, her eyes full of joy.

"How is the house built at home?" asked Thirteen Niang. She was about to marry into the Zhang family and could leave this depressing family. Her mother's dowry was already done. She didn't want anything else now, just thinking about marrying the man she liked earlier.

"It's almost done, it's already being renovated, and it will be cured in less than a month."

The key to repairing a cellar is to lay the foundation and lay the cellar. This is the main project, and the rest is decoration and painting.

"The house is not as beautiful as Cui's Mansion, it is a cave."

"I am willing to drink water with my heart, even if I am the one who is in bed and on the ground, I am willing to do it." Thirteen Niang said seriously.

Thirteen Niang is in a good mood now and feels very happy.

After leaving Cui's mansion, Zhang Chao also felt full of energy.

The bullshit matters were finally settled, and he cashed out 3,000 guan of cash from the Cui family. In addition, the Cui family had agreed that they would start to transfer all of Mrs. Zheng's industries to Thirteen Niang's name in the next few days. Thirteen Niang said that they would hand over these industries to Zhang Chao at that time.

Zhang Chao agreed to take care of her dowry for Thiranniang, but he would not use Thiranniang's money, which belongs to her and Thiranniang's children in the future.

The new cave has to be renovated quickly, painting the walls, laying floor tiles, filling tap water, building a small garden in the yard, planting many tree species and many flowers, and building a swing.

Well, I have to ask the carpenter to come and make a batch of new furniture.

Shelf bed, Arhat couch, Beauty chair, Dressing table, Duobao Pavilion

After leaving the Chang'an city gate, Zhang Chao couldn't help but whip and rode his horse and ran on the road. He didn't care that his riding skills were not very good, and he whipped the horse quickly and whipped it out loud.

He felt that he was full of energy now.

Zhang Chao was full of beautiful visions for the future. He had already begun to fantasize about the arrangements of the wedding and where to spend his honeymoon after the wedding.

As soon as Zhang Chao rode his horse, he found someone waiting for him there.

When I got closer, I found that it was Qin Gan.

Qin Dan, one of the eight general managers of the Pioneer, went to Hebei in the first batch, why are you back now?

"Brother Dan, why are you back?"

Qin Gan was covered in mud and covered in dust.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Chao was a little surprised and worried, what was wrong.

"Sanlang, pack up your things immediately and follow me immediately." Qin Gan said in a hoarse voice.

“Where to go?”

"Hebei." Qin Gan only said two words, his voice was completely hoarse. When he spoke, the sound was as unpleasant as a fingernail slashed across the glass.

"What happened."

"Speak while walking."

"Is something wrong with my dad?"

Zhang Chao calmed down from surprise and immediately thought of a possibility.

Qin Dan looked at Zhang Chao and stopped turning around.

Silence for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Uncle Zhang for you."

"what is going on?"

Qin Dan lowered his head, he was too tired.

He rushed back to Chang'an from Liyang, Hebei. It only took him three days and three nights to change horses but not people. He kept running on the road. People were about to part ways, and they ran more than a thousand miles in three days.

"Uncle Zhang is almost out of reach. I'm waiting for you to see you for the last time."

Qin Gan squatted on the ground, holding his head with both hands, and said in a hoarse voice.

"I'm injured or sick, aren't there any doctor?"

"A few days ago, we arrived in Liyang with Langjun. After meeting with Duke Cao, General Manager Li, we were stationed in a small town north of Liyang. That day, Langjun led a team of cavalry outside to reconnaissance the terrain, and suddenly a group of Hebei rebel scout cavalry came out. Langjun led us to annihilate the scout cavalry team, but Uncle Zhang was shot. It was nothing at that time, but after returning, it started a burn, and the wound became suppurated. The doctors in the army also saw it and used various medicines, but it just couldn't."

"Uncle Zhang's fever is getting heavier and heavier. He is often unconscious afterwards, and it is so hot that he is hot. The doctors say that he can't save him anymore. The husband asked me to come back and take you to see Uncle Zhang for the last time."

Zhang Chao listened carefully and immediately determined that his father was infected with the wound.

This infection is quite deadly in this era. There are more wounded soldiers who die from wound infection than soldiers who die directly on the battlefield.

The environment on the battlefield is harsh, and soldiers are prone to various infections, especially those with injuries. The battlefield conditions are poor, and it is difficult to take care of in time, making it more likely to be infected.

There are no good medicines these days, so we can only rely on the soldiers' own physical resistance. Those with strong bodies and strong immunity may slowly survive after a few days of fever.

But if you are poor and you don’t get timely medical rest, the result will only get worse and worse, and you will eventually die of infection.

My father’s current situation is obviously a wound infection after the injury, which is very serious.

"It's all my fault that I didn't take good care of Uncle Zhang. I was next to him at that time."

Zhang Chao patted Qin Gan's shoulder, "How can I come here everywhere on the battlefield? However, my father's condition is not helpless. I have a medicine that can cure this symptom."

"However, the doctors in the army said that the medicine was cured. Langjun and Duke Cao also invited doctors near Liyang to treat them, but they all said that they could not do it."

"They said no, because they don't have medicine, and I have medicine."

Zhang Chao's backpack has an antibiotic to treat infection, which is cephalosporin. This drug is very common and cheap in later generations. This drug can be distributed in various parts of the body, so if the pathogenic bacteria are sensitive to cephalosporin, it can be used. It is also a fungicide, unlike erythromycin and other insulating hormones. It is not as easy to be allergic to penicillin.

Many doctors in later generations liked to use this medicine. Once the patient is infected or has a fever, no matter what kind of infection it is, they will use cephalosporin immediately. This medicine is produced in China, is cheap and is widely used.

Even the medical bag in Zhang Chao's bag has oral cephalosporin.

With this medicine, my dad still has hope to save him.

"You really have such a magical medicine. Do you have any patent medicine?"

"Well, you're prepared at home."

"Then we go home immediately, take the medicine and rush back to Hebei immediately."
