Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate - Chapter 55

Shen Fengming opened his eyes, and saw a soft and beautiful face, her eyes fell on him, like a feather falling on the water, clear and transparent, with little ripples.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Qilinwei got a clue that the spies of the Xirong Kingdom had hidden in the palace. They wanted to murder the emperor with gunpowder when the emperor was admiring the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Shen Fengming wanted to enter the palace to investigate, but even the Qilin Guards could not enter the palace casually, the safety of the palace was in charge of the Imperial Forest Army.

He reported the matter to the emperor, the emperor was furious, but he did not let him continue to investigate, but asked General Pang of the Imperial Forest Army to take charge of the matter.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Shen Fengming seized a piece of information, as if the news of this matter had leaked out, those thieves decided to launch the plan in advance.

He immediately went to the palace to seek an audience with the emperor, and was about to report the matter to him, when suddenly there was a commotion.

He smelled a faint smell of gunpowder, and then saw a huge wave coming.

At that time, the emperor was beside him, and no one could react in time. He grabbed the emperor, jumped behind a big rock, and then used his body to protect him.

At that time, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach, but he still took the order to track down the culprit.

That group of thieves had obviously prepared their way back. He chased them all the way from Liaobei to Dongqing, then turned to Jingzhou, and finally caught up with those people in Luzhou, beheading them there.

When he saw Jiang Yunzhu in that alley, he hadn’t closed his eyes for five days and six nights, but he leaned against the wall, not daring to relax at all.

However, when she walked in front of him and smelled the faint fragrance of lemon saponin on her body, the string he was tensing suddenly broke.

“Miss Jiang.” Shen Fengming said.

Jiang Yunzhu regained consciousness and looked at him, a little apprehensive. He probably doesn’t remember what happened that night, right? “Are you awake?” she said.

Shen Fengming really didn’t remember what happened that night, but he knew that she was always by his side.

“Well, how long have I been asleep?” He asked in a clear voice.

“Two nights and one day.”

Shen Fengming counted the time and looked around.

“Mr. Yang has something to go back to Beijing. I asked me to take care of you, and I brought you back. How do you feel?” Jiang Yunzhu asked.

The stomach is still uncomfortable, it should be injured, but nothing serious. There is some pain in the back, and I must have been injured.

“Nothing.” He said.

It’s all right, Jiang Yunzhu got up, “You wait, I’ll make medicine for you, and get you something to eat by the way.”

After she left, the room became quiet, just like Shen Fengming’s mood at the moment.

But, suddenly, he said, “Come in.”

“Yes!” Someone answered from the back window, and then the person rolled over and entered the room.

Looking at the clothes, he is a unicorn guard.

“How is the situation now?” Shen Fengming asked.

“Master Commander, here is a letter from the Deputy Commander.” The guard said, presenting a letter. The letter was sealed with special glue, indicating that no one else had read the letter.

Shen Fengming took the letter and opened it.

On it was Yang Sheng’s somewhat scribbled handwriting.

“I know you will definitely ask these bad things again when you wake up. I said, can’t you take a good rest? The emperor didn’t let us enter the palace to investigate, obviously to be wary of us, afraid that we would put our hands into the palace, what happened? ?

If it weren’t for you, that day… Forget it, these words are hard to say.

Anyway, in the end we clean up the mess.

Don’t worry, the emperor is fine, the rest is up to me, your task is to have a good rest. I will tell the emperor that you are seriously injured. You are rescuing his injury, he won’t let you rest for a year or so?

I really told the emperor so, don’t you suddenly recover from illness, let the emperor think that I deliberately lied to him, and punish me for deceiving the emperor.

Remember, remember! ! “

Reading Yang Sheng’s letter is like listening to him speak face to face, and one can even imagine his expression when he said these words.

Shen Fengming took out the fire folder from his sleeve and lit the letter on fire.

Seeing the little cigarette ash falling to the ground, Shen Fengming looked out the window, did he rest for a year or so?

The commander of the Qilin Guard, Shen Fengming, was severely injured in order to save the emperor, and after that he pursued the murderer for thousands of miles. Although he killed all the thieves, his vitality was also seriously injured.

The emperor was so angry that he lost his manners in the palace and angrily scolded all the civil and military officials in the court for being full of wine and food bags or people with evil intentions, and no one could share his worries.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were trembling.

The emperor Jin Shen Fengming was the supervisor of the Zuodu, and rewarded a thousand taels of gold, three thousand pieces of silk and satin, and countless rare treasures.

He went to the post of general Pang of the Imperial Forest Army, and let the deputy general take the post of general.

In the Xia Dynasty, there were five military governors in the capital governor’s mansion, who were in charge of the commanding army and guards inside and outside the capital, and the left governor, who had military power under his hands, which was completely different from those in charge of the prisons and guards in Qilinwei.

The emperor actually gave Shen Fengming military power, which shows his trust and reliance on Shen Fengming.

Also, if it wasn’t for Shen Fengming this time, he would probably have passed away by Long Yu.

This incident caused an uproar in the court, everyone wanted to know Shen Fengming’s attitude, and also wanted to know how his injury was and whether it was fatal.

Especially some caring people are even more restless.

Posts about sick visits and visits were sent to Shen’s family like snowflakes.

At this time, Princess Danyang and Bachelor Shen are dealing with one person.

“How is Feng Ming’s body?” Princess Danyang asked anxiously.

“The doctor said there is nothing serious, as long as you have a good rest.” Yang Sheng replied.

“Then why don’t you go back to Beijing to recuperate?” Princess Danyang was dying of anxiety.

Yang Sheng blinked, returning to Beijing? Then Shen Fengming can rest and recuperate!

“The doctor said that it is not suitable for him to move, and it is best to recuperate in place. Besides, princess, you have also seen that there are so many people in the capital looking for him. If he comes back, how can he rest in peace.” He said half-truthfully.

If you can’t even move, then you are seriously injured, but just now he said that there is no serious problem, his words before and after are obviously contradictory. Princess Danyang turned cold, “Are you lying to me on purpose?

If this is the case, believe it or not, I will prevent you from leaving the Shen residence today! “

Yang Sheng secretly complained, he really didn’t want to come, but he couldn’t help but, after all, these two were Shen Fengming’s biological parents, there were some things that he had to tell them.

He looked at Master Shen, can Master Shen understand him?

Master Shen goes to the court every day, knows the situation in the court, and can understand Yang Sheng’s words very well. Now that Shen Fengming is on the cusp of the crisis, it is time to hide his strength and bide his time, recuperate from illness, recuperate from illness!

He twirled his beard and praised in his heart. He had always been worried that Shen Fengming was too strong, but now it seems that it is very good.

“Is he really all right?” He had to confirm it first before he could rest assured.

“I swear to heaven, he’s really fine.” Yang Sheng pointed at Tianmeng and swore.

Master Shen was relieved and said, “It’s fine if you don’t go back to Beijing. Tell him to take a good rest. By the way, he is in Luzhou? How about we go and see him quietly? Don’t worry, no one will be alarmed.”

This… Yang Sheng suffocated.

Princess Danyang finally believed that Shen Fengming was fine, and then her focus stopped on the word Luzhou. Luzhou, this is the third time for Shen Fengming to go, right? Although he was chasing the murderer this time, could he choose to cultivate in Luzhou?

She thought of the food that Shen Fengming brought back the previous two times, as well as the words on the porcelain jar…

“Yes, it’s not suitable for him to move, shall we go and see his head office?” She also said.

Rarely, she reached an agreement with Bachelor Shen on this matter.

“Now everyone is staring at Shen’s residence. The princess and the bachelor just want to go out quietly, so I’m afraid it won’t work?” Yang Sheng said bravely, “In case someone finds out…”

Princess Danyang thought the same about Shen Dashi.

“It is estimated that Feng Ming will have a letter to you in a few days, how about you discuss it with him then?” Yang Sheng felt that he could only do this.

Princess Danyang and Bachelor Shen can only do so.

Yang Sheng got up to leave, but when he turned around, he heard Princess Danyang ask, “Tell me the truth, did Feng Ming meet a girl in Luzhou?”

Fortunately, Yang Sheng has already turned around, otherwise Princess Danyang must have seen the clue.

“I don’t know too well.” Leaving this sentence behind, Yang Sheng ran away in despair.

Princess Danyang sighed.

The situation in the court is changing, but Changshi Village is still quiet and peaceful.

Jiang Yunzhu first cooked some vegetable porridge for Shen Fengming, and then boiled medicine for him.

Shen Fengming was indeed hungry, after drinking a bowl of steaming porridge, he felt warm all over.

“Thank you.” He took the medicine bowl and said.

“No need.” Jiang Yunzhu said.

At noon, the Jiang family had a lively reunion dinner.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yunzhu was going to rent a shop in the county. Before leaving, she turned a corner and knocked on the door of the side room.

Shen Fengming opened the door, his black hair was loose, and his body was tall and tall.

“You can get up already?” Jiang Yunzhu was surprised.

“Healed a lot.” Originally, Shen Fengming’s injuries were not particularly serious, it was because he was too tired that he fell asleep all the time.

Jiang Yunzhu glanced at him, the clothes on his body were changed in a hurry by Yang Sheng that day, after two days, they were all wrinkled.

This time, he parted with Yang Sheng in a hurry, and he didn’t leave any luggage for him.

“I’m going to the county seat. Would you like to buy some clothes for you?” Jiang Yunzhu explained his purpose.

Shen Fengming looked down at his clothes, “I’ll go with you.”

“Your body?”

“never mind.”

“Okay.” Jiang Yunzhu didn’t care, he went to buy it himself, and it would fit a little better.

Shen Fengming **** his hair, patted the folds of his clothes, and went out the door.

The two took Jiang Cheng’s mule cart to the county seat.

Jiang Yunzhu meant to buy him clothes first, so he could go back or find a place to rest, so he went to the silk shop first.

There are also ready-made clothes in the silk and satin village, but they may not be suitable.

Jiang Yunzhu randomly picked a silk and satin shop that looked good and walked in.

The store manager is a middle-aged man in his thirties, his eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Yunzhu, she is such a beautiful girl, when he saw Shen Fengming following behind, he almost forgot to say what he said.

This young man is so handsome! It’s just a little cold, making people afraid to look at him for no reason.

“Girl, young master, what do you want to see?” The shopkeeper struggled a bit, and decided to ask Jiang Yunzhu.

“Is there any ready-made clothes that he can wear?” Jiang Yunzhu pointed to Shen Fengming.

“Yes, I’ll show you.” After a while, the shopkeeper came back with some clothes, including six colors of tea white, crow blue, sky water green, cloud water blue, primrose purple, and crimson. The young man’s favorite color, which one does the girl like?”

He has completely regarded Jiang Yunzhu as a customer.

Jiang Yunzhu looked at Shen Fengming, which one does he like?

Shen Fengming looked over one by one, he really never bought clothes by himself before.

“Young master, if you like it, you can try it.” The shopkeeper finally said a word to Shen Fengming.

Shen Fengming looked at Jiang Yunzhu, picked up the tea-white dress and asked her, “How about this?”

Jiang Yunzhu inexplicably remembered that he was dressed in white fur in the snow that day, tea white was indeed better than black, she thought to herself.

“Why don’t you try it?” Jiang Yunzhu said.

“Yes, young master, you can try it.” The shopkeeper said.

Shen Fengming took the clothes and went to the back.

Jiang Yunzhu looked at the rest of the clothes, crow blue, which is actually pretty good, sky water blue, also pretty, primrose purple, crimson… She couldn’t imagine what Shen Fengming would look like in this color of clothes.

I think it will look good, after all he is handsome, but I feel…

She was thinking wildly, “How is it?” Shen Fengming asked over there.

As soon as Jiang Yunzhu turned around, she finally understood what Pengpi Shenghui meant. Shen Fengming stood there, with phoenix eyes and red lips, broad shoulders and narrow waist, just like the pine snow on the top of a mountain, shining brightly in his eyes. Moreover, it seemed that because of his illness, when he woke up this time, he seemed not as cold and intimidating as before.

For example, the way he looks at her now is much softer than before.

“It looks good.” Jiang Yunzhu smiled.

The tails of Shen Fengming’s eyes lifted slightly.

“Do you want to try other colors?” Jiang Yunzhu asked while holding the crimson dress. Well, she admitted, she wanted to see what he would look like in this shade.

Shen Fengming shook his head, he didn’t like this color.

Jiang Yunzhu: …she found out that he is really black and white, either wearing black or white.

Forget it, this tea-white dress is really nice.

“Shopkeeper, how much are these clothes?” Jiang Yunzhu asked.

“Two taels of silver.” The shopkeeper was still in a dream, and when he heard Jiang Yunzhu’s question, he came back to his senses. He had never seen anyone wear his clothes with such a feeling, as if the clothes were not ordinary satin, but brocade that was hard to buy.

Jiang Yunzhu touched the silver, while Shen Fengming had already taken out the silver from his sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper.

It turned out that he had money on him, Jiang Yunzhu was relieved.

When they came out of the silk and satin village, the number of people looking at them increased, especially Shen Fengming. Jiang Yunzhu also felt that it would be nice for him to wear black, at least not so many people would dare to look at him.

“I’m going to visit the store, you…” Jiang Yunzhu asked Shen Fengming.

“I’ll go with you.”

That’s okay, “If you’re not feeling well, just say it.” She said.

“Ok.”

Jiang Yunzhu went to the street of Wenyuan Academy. One month before the Chinese New Year, she came here to look at it several times. She had already taken a fancy to two stores that were being rented out, one was smaller and the other was slightly larger. At that time, she had no money, and she wanted to rent the smaller one, but now, she can ask how much the rent for the bigger one is.

The shop was locked, with the words “Ji Dian Lease” written on it. I asked the person next to me, and the person pointed to a pen and paper shop opposite and said, “The owner of that shop is the owner of this shop.”

Jiang Yunzhu walked over.

On this street, three or four of the ten shops sell paper and pens. This shop is quite large, and there are all kinds of pens, inks, papers and inkstones in it. There are even books on the shelves for sale.

But at this time, the students were all in class, so there was no one in the store.

The shop owner is a man of about forty years old, with a thin figure and full eyes. Hearing that Jiang Yunzhu wanted to rent the shop opposite him, she immediately took the key and opened the lock on the opposite side, letting her see the situation inside the shop.

This shop should have sold silk and satin in the past, and there are still some tattered shelves left in the shop. The store is quite spacious.

“There is a yard in the back and a well, which is very convenient for living or storing goods.” Shopkeeper Meng said politely.

Jiang Yunzhu went to look at the back, and sure enough, there was a yard, three main rooms, and two side rooms. Although they were a bit dilapidated, they could be accommodated after tidying up.

Jiang Yunzhu had already taken a fancy to this shop, but didn’t show it on the surface, and asked shopkeeper Meng how to rent this shop.

“Twenty-eight taels of silver a year, paid in one lump sum.”

The price is not too different, but Jiang Yunzhu has a condition, that is, if she rents this shop, she has to sign a ten-year contract at one time, and if either of the two parties goes back on their word, they will have to pay the other one hundred taels of silver.

She has seen too many situations where the shop owner temporarily raises the price when the tenant’s business is good, and she doesn’t want to encounter it herself, it’s too bad.

“Ten years? Will the girl pay the rent for ten years in one lump sum?” asked Shopkeeper Meng.

“Pay for one year first, and then at the beginning of each new year, pay the rent for that year.” Jiang Yunzhu said, “In this way, Boss Meng will save trouble.”

“The rent?” Boss Meng asked.

“What does Boss Meng mean?”

“You also know that the people in our county are getting richer and richer. My shop is next to the academy, and the rent will only increase.” Boss Meng said.

“Boss Meng, just speak directly.” Jiang Yunzhu said.

Boss Meng’s eyes rolled wildly, as he said, the rent of the shop on this street is one year, signed for ten years, how much rent does he want Jiang Yunzhu? If you want too much, she will definitely not give it, but if you ask for less, he still feels that he is at a loss!

Seeing him like this, Jiang Yunzhu frowned, “Boss Meng, iron mines were discovered in the county a few years ago, and the people’s lives are getting better and better, but everything has its own limit, and when it reaches that limit, the price will not rise anymore. .”

Jiang Yunzhu didn’t mean to say these things. Indeed, the situation in the county is like this. After so many years of development, it has passed the outbreak zone and reached a gentle zone. Although it will still rise, it will not rise too much.

Boss Meng felt that she was trying to lower the price. For so many years, he had seen with his own eyes how this street prospered. What he is most proud of is that he bought these two shops at that time. Now one operates by himself and the other earns rent. I don’t know how many people envy them.

Jiang Yunzhu stopped talking, the twisted melon was not sweet.

Boss Meng looked at Jiang Yunzhu and said, “Let’s rent it once a year, no, it will be cheaper for you this year, let’s talk about it next year.”

Jiang Yunzhu smiled, “Then I won’t bother Shopkeeper Meng.” After saying that, she walked out.

“Hey, don’t leave, or I will rent it to you for two years, three years…” After three years, shopkeeper Meng stopped adding, this was his limit.

Jiang Yunzhu didn’t stop at all, ten years is ten years.

“Bah, who is it!” Waiting for Jiang Yunzhu to walk away, Shopkeeper Meng spat on the ground and said angrily.

Jiang Yunzhu didn’t hear it, otherwise he must let him know what kind of person she is.

At this time, Jiang Yunzhu had already arrived on the street, and she was going to check out the smaller shop there.

“Girl, do you want to rent a shop?” At this moment, an old man next to him asked.

Jiang Yunzhu stopped, “Yes.”

The old man looked into the shop next door and found that Boss Meng hadn’t followed him, so he said to Jiang Yunzhu in a low voice, “I advise you not to rent their shop. This man surnamed Meng often comes to the shop because he is the landlord. Take advantage, the last shopkeeper of this shop really hated him.”

“I don’t want to rent this shop anymore, but thank you for letting me know.” Jiang Yunzhu said politely.

The old man nodded, and then said, “What do you think of my shop?”

Jiang Yunzhu almost didn’t react.

The old man was a little embarrassed and said, “I didn’t mean to speak ill of him so that you could rent my shop. Didn’t you just say that you wouldn’t rent his shop? That’s why I asked.”

It’s like, “What about you?”

“My shop was handed down from my ancestors. Our family is also considered a scholarly family. Everyone has studied for generations, but no one has ever passed it.

God is poor, three years ago, my grandson won the election and was appointed as the magistrate of Fuyuan County, Jinxing Prefecture last year. He always wanted to take our family to be with him. I was reluctant to leave my shop, so I never left.

During the Chinese New Year this year, he sent someone to send news that his grandson-in-law was pregnant. No, my wife was thinking about her great-grandson, so she wouldn’t let me do anything, so I wanted to rent out the shop. “When the old man talked about this incident, he was both sad and happy. For several generations, passing the imperial examination has become almost everyone’s obsession. Finally, now the dream has come true.

All the sacrifices are worth it.

“Then congratulations to the old man first, the grandson has a bright future, and now there is another child in the family.” Jiang Yunzhu said sincerely.

The old man laughed.

Jiang Yunzhu looked at the shop behind the old man. This was a calligraphy and painting shop. The store was very large, and the old man kept it clean and tidy.

“Come on, come in and have a look. To be honest, if my grandson didn’t insist on me going, I wouldn’t be willing to go!” the old man greeted.

“You are going to enjoy the blessings, the grandfather of the county magistrate, whoever sees you in the future must not be polite to call you old man.” Jiang Yunzhu naturally picked up the beautiful words.

The old man was in a good mood when he heard it, and asked Jiang Yunzhu to look around in the store.

Jiang Yunzhu looked around the store. This store was bigger than the one next door, and there were various calligraphy and paintings hanging in the store. Walking to the back, there is also a yard, which is also much larger than the next door. There are four rooms, and there are two side houses on each side. On one side of the yard, there is a well, and an apricot tree is planted beside the well.

“The back is where our family lives. We moved out after two days after we finished packing.”

As the old man said, a man and a woman came out of the room, both in their forties. The man was wearing a square scarf and was full of bookishness, while the woman was slightly fat. She should be the old man’s son and daughter-in-law.

Jiang Yunzhu is still very satisfied with this shop, but she still has to say clearly, “Master, if I want to rent, I want to sign a ten-year contract, and the rent will be paid in full at the beginning of each year.”

“Ten years?” The old man frowned. He seemed to know why Jiang Yunzhu and Boss Meng hadn’t reached an agreement. In ten years, who knows what will happen.

“Don’t be embarrassed, old man, it’s okay, it’s okay…”

Just as Jiang Yunzhu said this, a loud female voice suddenly said, “Okay, why not, ten years will be ten years!” With the voice, an old woman came out from the backyard.

The old woman combed her hair meticulously, and she looked like a neat and tidy person.

“Hey, you!” The old man said helplessly when he saw the old woman.

The old woman ignored him, and said to Jiang Yunzhu, “Ten years is ten years, but the rent, we have to negotiate.”

Jiang Yunzhu smiled, as long as she agrees to this condition, and the rent is not too outrageous, she can accept it.
