Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

"What else could it be? That old hag and her husband finally got their retribution. I'm happy about it." Cheng Suying told the story with a smile.

It turned out that the clan members really had their eyes on the yard where the couple lived in their old age. They held back at first, but it was just a discussion within the clan.

After selecting the heir, he didn't say anything. He just waited until the two of them were in worse health and then took the initiative to go to the clan to discuss the adoption.

Unexpectedly, the other person who lost the election was indignant and secretly went to the old couple's home to tell them the clan's decision. The old couple was angry but could do nothing.

The man coaxed them by saying that if the two were willing to give the house to him after a hundred years, he would be willing to take care of them in their old age and they could also sign a document.

The two did not believe it at first, so they went to ask the familiar members of the tribe, only to find out that what the man said about the tribe having chosen a person to adopt for them was indeed a decision.

The reason we didn't tell them was simply because they were old and the house was of no value to them. They would die sooner or later anyway, and the house would be passed on to the clan leader's son through adoption.

The old couple was indignant, so they made the man swear to the sky. After signing a document, they gave the land deeds and house deeds to the man, and were very happy in the hope that their son would support them in their old age.

Unexpectedly, the man only pretended to be a filial son and grandson for half a day. The next day, he couldn't be called over no matter what. He got so angry that he even hit people with a broom.

The old couple only bullied good people, but could not beat the bad people, so they had to return home in disappointment.

But in the afternoon, that ruffian came to take back the house. It turned out that the man owed debts to his family due to gambling, and he had already taken the house deeds and land deeds to pay off the debts.

The old couple were alone and weak, and because of this incident they offended their clan. For a while they had no one to protect them and were driven out of the old house where they had lived for several lifetimes, and ended up living on the streets.

He had originally planned to stay with Cheng Suying, but when he arrived at the gate of Wenyuefang, Chang Bo waved a carrying pole at him and drove him away, and he could no longer get close.

Grandma Zhao sent someone over to explain the whole story. When Cheng Suying learned the whole story, she couldn't help but feel very happy.

He clapped his hands and laughed, "Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet."

Du Wenxiu was also happy for her, and was even more amazed at Grandma Zhao's efficiency and methods. She still had a lot to learn in the future.

As they were talking, someone outside called Cheng Suying. It turned out that the mistress of Mr. Jiang, a wealthy man in the county, was having difficulty giving birth, so he specifically called for Cheng Suying.

All the midwives in the yard were helpless. Mr. Jiang and his wife were deeply in love and were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

A brave midwife recommended Cheng Suying, and the other midwives also talked about her past deeds one after another.

The wife's voice inside gradually became quieter. Mr. Jiang made up his mind and said, "Even if I get stabbed a few more times, I'll accept it." He called the servants and maids to come and invite people.

When he arrived at Wenyuefang, he didn't see anyone there. Following the instructions of others, he hurried to Du Wenxiu's house, and when he saw Cheng Suying, he almost knelt down.

Cheng Suying hurriedly stopped them and asked them to go back to Wenyuefang to get the medicine box, while she went to Jiang's house first.

After a lot of effort, he finally saved Grandma Jiang, who had one foot on the verge of death, and became famous overnight.

Mr. Jiang offered a generous thank-you gift and spread Cheng Suying's reputation.

From then on, whenever a woman from a wealthy family gave birth, they all liked to invite Cheng Suying to watch from the side. It actually became a trend at the time, which was an unexpected surprise.

Cheng Xiaomei studied medicine with her mother, and learned cooking with Du Wenxiu and Master Zou. She succeeded in both and was highly praised.

But now the old couple can only live on the streets, waiting for a kind-hearted person to give them a meal.

After much effort, Wenyuefang's mushroom chicken sauce finally entered the palace and was placed on the emperor's table, receiving rave reviews.

However, it was suggested by a noble person, so the brand was not established, and others did not know that it was done by Wenyuefang.

Du Wenxiu didn't take it seriously. Although it would be more beneficial to the workshop if it gained a reputation, fortune and disaster go hand in hand. Since it was related to the royal family's affairs, it would be better to be cautious.

Fan Chengyi brought his servant to Beijing to take the imperial examination, and sent the four male servants who were unwilling to stay back to the old house of the Fan family. He also paid money to get the indentures of the few who were willing to stay.

Mrs. Fan had a lot of fun playing with Huijie and Haisheng, who was just learning to speak, every day. The courtyard was filled with laughter all day long.

Erlang stayed at home every day, reading and writing in the front yard. Du Wenxiu was happy to collect many books for him and even set up a study room for him.

However, since then, there has been no news from Lu Fanghai for a long time. Even after Chi Linghua left, there was no news from him.

Fortunately, Yue Niang had suffered from morning sickness for a few days, but after a few days, she was able to eat and sleep well, which made Du Wenxiu feel relieved.

After midsummer, the decoration of Wenyue Tower was almost completed. Manager Lin came to take over with his family, and Du Wenxiu finally felt a little relieved.

On the opening day, Du Wenxiu and his colleagues spent a huge amount of money to build a stage in front of the door and invited three former courtesans to sing and dance, which attracted many people to come in and see the sight.

There was singing and dancing at the time, and huge crowds of people gathered, making it very lively.

With all this excitement, won’t it attract people?

And it’s half price for the first three days of opening.

Another king bomb.

The shopkeepers of several nearby restaurants stood not far away, gritting their teeth, wishing they could bite the silver tooth into pieces and swallow it whole.

"They opened with half-price, half-price, hehe, I'd better lose my money sooner rather than later."

"Hey, I heard their boss is powerful and rich, we can't afford to offend him."

"Can't afford to offend? Humph, if I'm pushed to the limit, I'll dare to pull the emperor off his horse, but I'll at least leave him a way to survive."

"Forget it, at least they're offering half price for three days, just be patient, peace is the most precious thing, peace is the most precious thing..."

Several people dispersed dejectedly, and the shopkeeper Wu, who always talked about harmony, sat in his own shop and stared at Wenyue Tower diagonally opposite, his eyes almost bursting with fire.

The others could still endure it, but he had just been called in by his boss and reprimanded a few days ago. If the business was bad this month, he might have to give up the position of shopkeeper.

How can we show some color to the newly opened Wenyue Building across the street?

Not to mention that he was racking his brains here, but over there Du Wenxiu, Yue Niang, Du Wenchan and others were sitting in the box watching the grand scene in front of them, and they were very satisfied.

"After eating our dishes, we will definitely attract some returning customers." Du Wenchan said excitedly in a low voice.

Du Wenxiu also nodded: "Don't think that we are losing money in the past few days. If we can attract some repeat customers and survive the initial period when we are not making money, it will be easier to do business in the future."

Yue Niang stood up and looked outside, cracking melon seeds in her hand: "Those courtesans are worth inviting. Next time I go home and want to liven things up, I'll invite them."

"She's average looking, but her voice is really good, melodious and pleasant to hear." Du Wenchan also agreed, tilting her head to look outside.

Du Wenxiu also stood with the two of them. Suddenly, she saw a familiar face flash in the crowd. When she tried to see it more clearly, it disappeared.

After greeting the two people, Du Wenxiu turned around and went downstairs to join the crowd.
