It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

"Aunt, who did you say Li Hong is?" Weng Xiaoxiao stood up in surprise.

"His family had inherited medical skills, but they were coveted by others and thus they were murdered. The whole family risked their lives to leave him as their only child. We didn't tell him back then because we were afraid that he would bring trouble to us."

"So what do I want to tell you now?" Everyone wants to be on good terms with a doctor, and Weng Xiaoxiao is no exception.

"He told me that if his identity was exposed one day, I don't have to save him, but he asked me to find a reliable person to pass on this medical book." Feng Gu took out an oil-paper bag from her bosom.

The paper is yellowed, and it is obvious that it is old. There are also handwritings of different ages on the back of the book, which probably means that each generation of inheritors has been constantly adding new content.

"He doesn't want revenge?"

Feng Gu leaned closer and whispered, "The enemy is a good friend of his father in the past. He is now the imperial physician in the palace and ordinary people can't afford to offend him. That person stole the first volume of their family's medical book. The first half here was memorized by Li Hong from memory."

Since it was related to the palace, no one dared to intervene in the matter. It was extremely difficult for a young man like him to seek revenge. He still had some trust in his master Feng Gu, so he dared to entrust her with the task.

"It's just that he doesn't show his unique skills when saving people normally, so he won't be exposed. Wait," Weng Xiaoxiao looked at Feng Gu thoughtfully, "Could it be that he is not afraid of being exposed, but just wants me to believe him based on the medical books?"

Is that right?

Feng Gu couldn't be sure, she just knew that her brain was running out of ideas. If she couldn't figure it out, she would stop thinking about it. "I'll bring him here, and you can ask him yourself."

"Don't be so deliberate. Take me there some other time. It's been delayed for several years. There's no rush now."

Yang Shuo and Zheng Rong were in danger, and even he was only temporarily safe. If there was a reliable and medical expert around him, he might be able to save his life at a critical moment!

The emperor might have to be replaced. As for the imperial physician in the palace, he might have a chance to help him get revenge. One always has to give something in order to get something in return.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

"Please keep it safe. This is Li Hong's life and property. Aunt, don't mention this to anyone else. Just keep it between the two of us."

Although Weng Xiaoxiao is sometimes weird and overly cautious, Feng Gu completely trusts her decisions. She believes that being cautious is better than being wrong, and not telling anyone is the true way to keep a secret.

"Well, I'll keep this treasure. Don't you feel bad about selling your gem like this?"

Weng Xiaoxiao held Feng Gu's arm, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Gu, I've kept the best ones. Next year, let's each make a jewel-inlaid hairpin, okay?"

Aunt Feng tilted her head and smiled, "I'm old now, it doesn't matter what I wear. You should prepare some jewelry for your dowry."

The three men of the Yang family were all fighting outside, so Zheng Rong was unable to set a date for the wedding, and there has been no definite news until now.

"No hurry, I'm happy to run around as a man."

"Let's not talk about it anymore. The yard over there has been decided. After the transfer is completed, we will arrange for someone to go over and clean it up. Hehe, let's also live in that big house with three entrances!" Feng Gu walked out with a smile.

……

"Master, the government has imposed another levy, and our toy shop still has to pay fifty taels." Pei Jun handed a document with an official seal to Weng Xiaoxiao.

"Fifty taels? I only paid thirty taels! What did they base the decision on?" Weng Xiaoxiao asked repeatedly.

Pei Jun smiled bitterly, "It's because our shop is located on the most prosperous street. The government knows that they can't exploit small shops, and they can't get much out of it. So the two times they targeted big shops."

Anyone with a lower income really can’t afford this amount of money!

"I see. Let Wei Yong settle the bill. But there's no rush. We can talk about it in two days. Your wedding is just a few days away. How are the preparations going?"

Pei Jun smiled when he mentioned marriage. People didn't mind his disability or the fact that he had signed a contract to sell himself. He would take good care of it and give his wife the honor she deserved. "Everything has been contacted."

"Let Xiaokong take care of the new house. Once we move in, it will be convenient for you to host a banquet for the guests."

Pei Jun grinned, "Thank you, Boss. All the brothers from Mao County will come over for a drink."

Because there is a small hill in Maoxian, the village was able to avoid the flood and no casualties were reported. Only part of the farmland was flooded, so the loss was relatively small.

It’s a pity that Zhang Shun and his wife insisted on rushing back that day, and there has been no news since then, which means the situation is very bad.

……

August 12th is a good day to move to a new house.

The year was not good, and Weng Xiaoxiao did not like to show off, so she just set off some firecrackers at the gate to show her joy at the move.

I sent a mooncake gift box to each of the two new neighbors next door. It was neither light nor heavy, just a greeting.

This house has three courtyards, which are quite square. (To put it simply and figuratively, the courtyard in the shape of a "口" character is called the first courtyard, the courtyard in the shape of a "日" character is called the second courtyard, and the courtyard in the shape of a "目" character is called the third courtyard.)

After passing the "Manzi Gate", the first thing you see is the screen wall, on which is a stone carving of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.

The back house on the same row as the gate was where several servants lived, and in the southwest corner were the toilet and stable.

After passing through the screen door near the screen wall, you will see the hanging flower door with carved beams and painted pillars, which is more exquisite than the main gate, also known as the "second gate". The space under the eaves is like a small house, with doors at the front and back, connecting the corridors on both sides.

There are four doors leading to the inner courtyard. These doors of wealthy families are usually not opened often, and one has to go through the corridors on both sides to enter the backyard.

"Aunt, now that the yard is big, let's get a dog and tie it up at the second gate. We don't have to arrange someone to guard the gate."

Aunt Feng also had the same idea. "No problem. I'll go find a stronger puppy later. Only the ones I raise myself will be obedient."

Seeing that they stopped talking, Chunxia and the other girls could not wait any longer and had already entered the west wing through the corridor on the left side of the hanging flower gate.

In the southwest corner is the toilet of the inner courtyard, and the four western wing rooms are reserved as guest rooms.

When they checked in the day before, all four doors were naturally open, so they walked directly into the courtyard.

"Auntie, would you mind living in the east wing? There are three rooms in the main house, you can take one."

Feng Gu waved her hands repeatedly, "The main house should be for the master. The east wing is also good. You like my house."

The east wing also has four large rooms, the kitchen is at the end, next to the kitchen is a small hall, which is also the daily dining room. Further in are two living rooms, one for Feng Gu and one for Qiuyue Shunsui and his wife.

In this case, Weng Xiaoxiao stopped trying to persuade her.

The reason why I like this house is that it is built in a very conventional way, is very suitable for feng shui, and is also interesting.

There is a large tank in the middle. The water lilies have withered, but the lotus leaves are still there. A few red fish are swimming around, which is pleasing to the eye.

There is a pomegranate tree near the west wing. When spring comes, the pomegranate flowers will be more beautiful than fire.

There is a small flower bed near the east wing. It is said that the flowers that Weng Xiaoxiao could not recognize are peonies.

Chrysanthemums of various colors were placed under the corridor of the main house, blooming in full bloom.
