Chapter 272 Preparing Gifts
If he read correctly, these two are men, right?If he didn't have eyesight, the way Gu Lengyi looked at Gu Yiju just now was love and forbearance, right?
In other words, these two senior brothers are considered the same in this world?What happened today was beyond what Lin Xiazhi usually accepts, and his mind was a little dizzy.
Cheng Wenliu watched from the side, and said to Gu Yiju and Gu Lengyi: "Master Gu and Doctor Gu, both of you can come to Jufulou to register your membership information if you want to show your face. I will ask the shopkeeper to give you two gold membership cards."
Gu Yiju immediately revived with full blood, but he did not accept Cheng Wenliu's gold membership card: "That's so embarrassing, I don't come to Lishui County often, a silver membership card is enough."
"You saved my husband today, so it's nothing to give away a gold membership card, so please don't refuse." The gold membership card made at home is gold-plated, but the cost is actually not that high.
"Haha, then I'll be disrespectful. Brother, you look forward to Lishui County's good food and save money for a long time." Gu Yiju was extremely envious of Gu Lengyi.
Saying goodbye to Senior Brother Gu, the things that Lin Xiazhi bought before were nowhere to be found, and the streets were in chaos at this time, Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu had no interest in shopping, so Cheng Ping told the coachman to bring the carriage over .
The boy called by the coachman was looking for someone on the street at this time. The street was too chaotic just now, so they didn't join in. Now the crowd calmed down before setting off.
When Cheng Ping used to call the coachman, he went to his family on the way and told them the location of Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu, and then the young servants came to him: "Second Young Master, Second Young Master!"
If it wasn't for Lin Xiazhi's unwillingness to wait a little longer, people wouldn't have seized the opportunity to attack him. Now he feels more and more pain in the place where he was pushed on his shoulder, and he really wants to go back immediately to see what happened to the injury. Sample.
"Well, let's go when the carriage arrives." Cheng Wenliu greeted them and asked the group of people to wait in place. He didn't want any more surprises.
There were fewer pedestrians on the road, and the carriage drove over quickly, carrying Lin Xiazhi and the others back to Cheng Zhai.
After arriving home, Lin Xiazhi dragged Cheng Wenliu back to their courtyard, closed the door and took off her clothes.
"What's wrong with Brother Xia?" Cheng Wenliu turned around and saw Lin Xiazhi's movements, and his mouth became dry instantly.
"Don't just stand there, come and help me take a look." Lin Xiazhi's injury was behind his shoulder and he couldn't see it, so he needed help.
Cheng Wenliu took a breath. He saw five black and purple finger prints on Lin Xiazhi's white and tender skin, and his heart ached. He didn't know how hard the person who pushed him had to leave such deep marks. These Raksha gang members really should be cleaned up.
Lin Xiazhi felt that there was no movement from the people behind him, and he looked back: "Why are you stupid again, take the medicine!"
Cheng Wenliu came back to his senses, took out the ointment he bought for ten taels of silver, picked out a little bit and applied it to Lin Xiazhi, and then gently spread it and pressed it a few times to promote the medicine to enter the skin. He remembered Gu Yiju's words and did not apply it. Go up a lot.
Lin Xiazhi was not in a hurry to get dressed, and the pain in the shoulder area disappeared after a while: "This medicine is really cool after applying it, and the pain will disappear soon. It is worth the ten taels of silver."
Lin Xiazhi didn't put on her clothes until the ointment was dry. By this time, the smell of the ointment could no longer be smelled, and the two went to the main room for lunch together.
No one talked about what happened on the street this morning at the dinner table, but only talked about the situation in Beishan Village. Cheng Fulang and others had no doubts.
After dinner, Cheng Wenliu sent Lin Xiazhi back to their small courtyard: "Brother Xia, you can rest at home in the afternoon, I will go out for a while and be back soon."
"Okay, let me see if there are any new sour plums when you come back." Lin Xiazhi only thought that Cheng Wenliu had other things to deal with.
After the incident in the morning, he himself will not make a fuss about going out in the short term, so he decided to turn his grief and anger into appetite, and eat a few more sour plums to appetize.
Cheng Wenliu did not go to deal with official business in the afternoon, but abducted to the county government office, and told the magistrate the truth about the chaos in the market in the morning.
The county knew that there was a Jianghu gang in Jiangning County, and the county captain didn't care much because nothing happened. Now that the Jianghu gang disrupted the social order in Jiangning County, the county captain was about to take action.
Then, Cheng Wenliu went to the shop where he met Gu's brothers in the morning. They were still inside. Cheng Wenliu told them that the government would soon participate in the arrest of those members of the Raksha Gang, and told them to be careful.
The Gu brothers didn't care much about the government's intervention. Anyway, if those people were not arrested by the government, they would have to deal with them themselves. They took note of Cheng Wenliu's willingness to report to them.
Gu Lengyi promised: "Master Cheng, don't worry, I will send someone to tell you as soon as I find out who asked someone from the Raksha Gang to murder Mrs. Cheng."
"Okay, thank you, Lord Gu." Cheng Wenliu really wanted to find out the person who really harmed Brother Xia, and he would feel restless if he didn't find out, for fear that Lin Xiazhi would encounter another accident.
No matter how anxious he is, there is nothing he can do. At present, he only knows that it is a brother, and he is still wearing a veil. He can't tell who it is at all, so he can only investigate secretly while waiting for news from Brother Gu.
The news was not easy to find out, but Mr. Liang's husband had come to the Cheng's house twice, and each time he could find different excuses and send a lot of gifts.
Cheng Fulang was not a vegetarian either, he would send the same gift back to Liang's house in different ways every time, but he just refused to accept it anyway.
Mr. Liang has also had soft nails on Aunt Cheng's side. This powder has other uses, not for his own use, and cannot be sold to others at will.
He also explained in great surprise that he didn't know that these incense powders happened to be the ones that his cousin usually bought, let alone that the Liang family got the goods from his cousin, and Master Liang also knew that the Cheng family used to be in the food business. Haven't touched any of these powders.
How about this, let me ask if I can embezzle some incense powder for you. I wrote a letter here, but the reply speed is very slow there, or you can ask someone else first if there is any incense powder for sale.
No matter what Mr. Liang said, Father Cheng gritted his teeth and refused to give them the fragrance powder, saying that he wanted to write a letter to inquire.
How much time wasted going back and forth, let alone whether you can get the incense powder after replying to the letter from the main house of the Cheng family. Now, those customers who often buy face powder in his store have started to complain, and even other business has dropped a lot.
Master Liang had no choice but to get incense powder from Father Cheng, so he could only leave angrily.
In Lin's Village, Xiao Nian Gao was about to turn one year old. Li Xiu sent someone to Cheng's house to ask Lin Xia Zhifang if it was convenient for her to return to the village.
The Lin family has made some contacts in the county in the past few years in business, but most of their relatives and friends are from the Lin family village. Lin Xiazhi decided to return to the village after asking Cheng Cheng and hearing Liu.
During this period of time, not only the Rakshasa Gang, but also other gangster gangs have been taught a lesson. The law and order in Jiangning County and nearby villages and towns is very good. If they bring more people with them when they go out, there will be no more accidents.
I heard that Lin Xiazhi and the others were going back to Linjiacun to celebrate the first birthday of the little rice cake. Cheng Fulang and Cheng Luanjing also joined in the fun and said they would go with them. They both said that Father Cheng would also join, and the family picked gifts early.
Cheng Luanjing chose a small writing brush made of jade in the jade shop, and he wanted to add the gift he gave to Zhu Zhou's optional items. Cheng Fulang and Cheng's father saw that Cheng Luanjing's gift was interesting, so they went to the jade shop to choose the jade pen. A high-quality small inkstone, and a pair of accessories for my little brother.
Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Wenliu also followed suit and bought a complete set of jade ink and jade paper for Xiaonian Gao, which together just happened to be a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.
Cheng Luanjing was very happy, and secretly made up his mind that if Xiao Nian Gao caught Zhou with one of the brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, he would train Xiao Nian Gao to write scripts in the future.
On the day of Xiao Nian Gao's first birthday, the Cheng family set off from Jiangning County to Linjia Village with gifts, their servants, and a few guards.
"Cheng Fulang, come to your in-law's house?"
"Cheng Shaofu is coming back to see my brother."
"The Lin family is very lively today, and it will be even more lively if you go there."
……
The villagers of the Lin family have long been used to the Cheng family coming over, and they are not familiar with Cheng's father. Cheng Fulang and the others know each other and greet the Cheng family warmly.
Cheng Fulang responded to them that every time he came to Linjiacun, he felt that Linjiacun was different, perhaps because the villagers had hope for life in their faces and eyes.
Some time ago, I heard that Linjia Village vigorously advocated reading and literacy among the villagers. This time he came here, he seemed to see something different in these villagers, and the difference from other villages he went to was getting bigger and bigger.
"Brother Xia, how are the people in your village doing?" Cheng Fulang asked Lin Xiazhi when he thought about it. They spent a lot of time together on weekdays, and they often heard Lin Xiaodong who was next to Lin Xiazhi mention Lin Jiacun.
"It's okay, I heard that several people have already received their first reward." Lin Xiazhi said calmly.
"Hey, that's not bad. I've already memorized one-third of a book." Cheng Fulang marveled. He still thought that most people haven't learned much yet.
Father Cheng looked puzzled: "What are you talking about? Is it a reward or an endorsement?"
"Father, they are talking about the villagers of Lin Family Village..." Cheng Wenliu helped Lin Xiazhi explain the cause and effect.
"Your village is very courageous. I also think reading is good. Our juniors in Jufulou are now literate. When guests come to eat, they always praise their energy. It's just different." Father Cheng looked at the villagers outside the carriage and sighed the same as Cheng Fulang.
Father Cheng is in the grain business and often deals with the villagers and the land. He has a deeper feeling for this difference. I don't know if it is a psychological effect. Why does he feel that the crops grown in the Lin family village are stronger.
The Lin family was at the head of the Lin family village. While watching the whole way, they said that the Cheng family's carriage arrived in front of the Lin family's gate not long after.
