Chapter 62 A Heartless Woman
Chapter 62 A Heartless Woman
"You what you, wealth is nothing, don't put on that kind of charity look, and …" Ning Yan reached out to tug on Lu Hanzhang's beard, "It's not like I have to marry you, what right do you have to think that if you say it out loud, I would sob and leave with you, not even daring to show my face.
When she first found out that Lu Hanzhang had feelings for her, she was pleasantly surprised. After all, everyone wanted to be accompanied, but if the price to be accompanied was too high, then forget it, just forget it.
After throwing the bag in her hand into Lu Hanzhang's hands, Ning Yan returned to her room to change clothes, and then walked towards the city with more than a dozen yuan.
After Ning Yan left, Lu Hanzhang opened the bag in his hands. Inside was a jade pendant that he had thrown to the woman not long ago.
"..."
"..."
Ning Qianci was going to the capital city in the next two days, so she had to quickly prepare the things he needed on the way.
There were a few people squatting in the shade around the corner. Some were old and some were young, but they all had yellow grass sticking out of their heads.
Yellow Grass meant to sell themselves. After buying it, one would go straight to the yamen and affix a seal to the contract. From then on, one's life and death would be in the hands of the main house.
Although there would be no harm if there was no trade, there were times when trading could save a person's life. Although Ning Yan was a little conflicted in her heart, she naturally would not let Ning Qianci go to the capital just because of a human right who did not have a shadow.
A bookkeeper was a must, no matter how promising Ning Qianci was, he was still a teenager.
Ning Family would definitely not prepare a errand boy for Ning Qianci. If she wasn't concerned about him, once Ning Qianci went to the capital, he would be alone …
"Is there anyone who can read?" After Ning Yan asked this question, she regretted it immediately.
Silence existed in this place for a long time.
Suddenly, a weak voice sounded out. "Elder Lady, do you know if I can read or write?"
The one who spoke was a young man with a dirty face and mud on his neck and hands. However, even though his hands were dirty, his nails were clean.
"You know the words?"
"How many do you know?"
"Oh, tell me your identity."
"Alright." The youth's words were very logical. With a few words, he explained the whole situation.
The young man was called Rong Qingchen, he was a role model trained by the filming crew. It was just that before Rong Qingchen even left the apprentices, the filming crew had dispersed, and because they had angered some noble, the class chairman died.
Rong Qingchen escaped with the class leader's daughter. After going through the Tongxian County, it was a forlorn day. After a heavy rain, the class leader's daughter fell sick.
could not be sick, there was nothing to be afraid of, and there was nothing he could not have money. This phrase was common in any era, when Rong Qingchen left Nanjing, he did not even have a money bag on him, it was not easy for him to come to Tongxian County alive.
"You can read. Where can't you get a job? Use it to sell yourself. " Ning Yan asked. Ning Yan's eyes.
Rong Qingchen suddenly laughed: "Since young, I've been raised like a dried horn, I can't do hard work, and I need money quickly, how can I get any work waiting for me?"
"Take me to your place."
"This way." Rong Qingchen stood up, his thin and weak figure seemed to be at odds with him, how could such a person serve others? Ning Yan was a little suspicious.
If he really bought it, how would he serve Ning Qianci?
Or …
In her heart, Ning Yan muttered a few words about a person who shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Then, dragging Ning Yu along, she followed behind Rong Qingchen and walked out of the city area, arriving at a dilapidated temple.
Rong Qingchen stood in front of the temple: "It's here."
"Go in." With that said, Rong Qingchen walked in first. Ning'er looked at the broken temple, and his face turned serious. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
Ning Yan walked in, and just as she entered the temple, she heard waves of coughing.
When he entered, he saw a girl lying on a mat in front of the Buddha statue. The girl's face was red as she opened her eyes when she heard the sound.
"Yo-Yung, who are they?"
"…" Brother Rong, where's Brother Jing?
Ning Yan couldn't quite accept the way her brother and sister were addressed.
"Yes …" Rong Qingchen paused, raised his head and looked at Ning Yan, he did not know how to introduce the both of them.
"Take him to the doctor first."
"…" Rong Qingchen did not move.
"Don't you want to save her?" Ning Yan asked.
"Are you going to buy me?"
"…" You have some backbone, don't you think you should eat something that you don't want?
Ning Yan did not admire such a person at all, and even despised him a little. It was not because of the righteousness of the nation, but, life and death were more important than Mount Tai, and because of that, life was precious …
"And if I don't?"
"Then, then set up a contract. If I am successful in the future, I will return the money to you."
"You even know how to change the situation. Carry him on your back, let's go."
"En!"
He brought his men to the infirmary. When the little ingredient girl saw Rong Qingchen's clothes, she almost kicked him out, but it was still Ning Yan who stopped her. If he did not have the money to see the doctor, then the medicine boy's face would not be good. This was also an era where people looked at money.
"Doctor, how is he?"
"If we don't send them earlier, we'll be a fool if we keep watching the situation burn for half a day. Hurry up and get rid of the fever." The doctor had a head full of white hair, but his speech was full of energy.
The old doctor's complexion was very unsightly. For an old doctor to have a fever of this degree, it was somewhat tricky.
After writing down a prescription, he gave the medicine boy a fearful glance in Ning Yan's direction. Lowering his head, he swiftly grabbed the medicine and rushed to the kitchen to fry the medicine.
"You woman, why are you scaring a child?"
"He's just teaching him how to conduct himself. If his gaze is too weak, he will offend others."
"…" Ning Yan explained, but the old doctor did not say anything. One did not need to be explained to by anyone to reach the old doctor's age, as he knew all the principles behind a person's back.
Although Ning Yan's method was direct, it was very effective.
"Go and buy two sets of clothes for the little girl. Wear these clothes and bring them along with you when you're not sick." Summer was already hot, and germs were easy to breed, so the little girl was still wearing her tight dress.
It was hard to tell, but it was too dirty to explain.
"Alright." Rong Qingchen didn't hesitate this time, and probably discovered that the little miss was wearing a outfit that couldn't be explained.
The clothes were bought very quickly, Rong Qingchen had good eyes, the clothes he bought were very light, and he wore them at the right time of the year.
After borrowing a bath barrel from the infirmary, Ning Yan let the old doctor take a look at it, she then helped the little girl bathe and rub her back.
Although the little girl was having a fever, it would not be appropriate for her to bathe.
But...
If you don't take a bath, you can't even get into the hospital bed.
Fortunately, it was summer and the bath water was warm.
Ning Yan didn't dare let the little girl soak in the hot water for too long.
The washed little girl looked like a ball. Her eyes were very large, her eyelashes were long and raised. Although her little face was thin, it was white and clean without a single blemish.
