Yangcheng

It was already past the curfew when we got home, and the doors of the clinics were closed. Tong Shaolin wanted to forcibly knock on several clinics, but was stopped by Lu Fan.

"Ma'am, don't be impulsive. I just got a cut. Just bandage it up for me. You don't need to alarm others."

"Your leg is hurt too."

"When I pulled the carriage too hard, I sprained a bit. It's okay, as long as I rest for a few days, it will be fine. It's not a big deal." Lu Fan said, "Madam will take care of you in the next few days."

"If you trust my medical skills, then leave it all to me."

Lu Fan was a little puzzled: "Of course I trust Madam, didn't you treat me when I was injured before?"

Tong Shaolin said nothing more.

When they returned to Tong's Mansion, Song Qiao and Tong Changting were still awake, worrying about why the children hadn't come back yet.

Tong Shaoxuan and Tong Shaoqian were also not asleep, Tong Shaoqian saw Tong Shaoxuan spinning around in the front hall, his eyes were almost dizzy from her.

"Oh, Ah Nian, just sit down and wait for a while! If you turn around again, you will have to turn a hole!" Tong Shaoqian came up to pull her, pushed her onto the chair, and handed her a cup of tea:

"Look at you, your hands are frozen like this, drink some hot tea to warm you up. Don't tell me all about the red sandalwood, Sanniang went out with the elder sister to find the elder sister-in-law, what's wrong with your daughter-in-law? Just wait patiently."

Even though he said so, Tong Shaoxuan knew that Tang Jianwei was powerful, but she was also a human being, she would be afraid and get hurt, and she only had one life.

In the past, the two of them did everything together, even if they were in danger, they had no worries.

But now that she is not by his wife's side, she has no idea what happened to Tang Jianwei, so how can she not be nervous?

Tong Shaoxuan took the hot tea handed by the third sister, just held it in his hand, and put it down before taking a sip:

"No, I have to go find them."

As soon as Tong Shaoxuan put down the teacup, Tang Jianwei and a group of people entered the room.

Not only did it bring the smell of rain at night, but it also brought in a smell of blood.

Tong Shaoxuan and Ye Niang all stood up at once.

When Lu Fan entered the room covered in blood, everyone was shocked.

"What's the matter! Why did you see blood?!" Seeing this scene, Song Qiao's tone changed.

Lu Fan comforted her and said: "There was an accident on the way to deliver the goods, and the skin was scratched a little, it's okay, mother. You and Aye go to bed first."

How Song Qiao and Tong Changting could sleep, wanted to know what happened.

Tang Jianwei saw that Ye Niang was very anxious, if they were sent to sleep right now, they would definitely just lay their dead bodies in the bedroom, and it would be impossible for them to fall asleep.

Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan will basically tell Ye Niang about things, but Ye Niang is actually quite self-conscious and won't talk too much.

Comparing her heart to her heart, if Tang Jianwei's child has anything to do in the future, she also hopes that the child can tell her.

Even if they can't really help, at least they know what the family is doing.

Tang Jianwei asked everyone to change the wet clothes first, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to stick to the body.

Don't I have to give my sister-in-law medicine, and I'll listen to her explain in detail when the medicine is given.

Going back to the house to change clothes, Tong Shaoxuan followed Tang Jianwei the whole time.

Tang Jianwei saw that there seemed to be tears in her eyes, and he knew that she must have been worried all night.

Taking the initiative to send a sweet kiss, Tang Jianwei said: "It's an emergency tonight, I couldn't tell Anian in advance, Anian, don't blame me, I will greet you in advance no matter what next time."

Tong Shaoxuan shook his head: "I don't want you to say hello to me."

Tang Jianwei was puzzled, and Tong Shaoxuan chased after him: "I will be with you at any time."

Tang Jianwei, whose whole body was icy cold from the rain, became warm again because of Tong Shaoxuan's words.

Putting on dry and warm clothes, everyone returned to the front hall. When Tong Shaolin helped Lu Fan treat the wound, Lu Fan talked about the whole story of the accident.

Every time Lu Fan went out to deliver goods, in addition to checking the quality and quantity of the goods, he would also pay close attention to the condition of the carriages and horses.

You must know that the most important thing for them to run outside all year round is safety.

It has been raining recently, and the roads in the mountains are not very easy to walk. Today, the journey is not too far, and we can return on the same day.

Lu Fan quickened his pace, wanting to return to Su County before the city gate closed at night.

When setting off in the morning, Lu Fan deliberately checked the condition of the carriage, and only went out after making sure that the carriage was in good condition.

After arriving in Linxian County and loading all the mushrooms into the car, I didn't check again because I had to rush back and I had just checked it in the morning.

Probably because of the busyness of the past year, there has never been a major incident, which made Lu Fan relax a little bit.

In fact, generally speaking, few people will check again when they come back in the evening after checking in the morning.

It was precisely because of this small negligence that she almost had an accident.

The way back was all mountain roads, Lu Fan walked in the front, deliberately slowing down, because he was afraid that the speed of the car would cause accidents.

Unexpectedly, when turning a corner, the hub of the carriage suddenly loosened, the wheels and axles were separated from each other, and the entire carriage fell towards the cliff.

Lu Fan was originally riding a horse in front, but when he heard the gang brother behind him yell, when he looked back, the brother in charge of driving the carriage had already jumped off the carriage, and the cart full of mushrooms was about to fall with the horse.

Lu Fan knew that this cart of mushrooms was the most important thing in the New Year's Eve banquet, so it was clearly written on the menu displayed when the New Year's Eve banquet was scheduled.

This batch of flower mushrooms was finalized by Tang Jianwei after traveling through several counties. I'm afraid he won't be able to find a substitute in a short time.

If the flower mushrooms were damaged, the first New Year's Eve banquet would probably be messed up.

Thinking of this, Lu Fanfei dismounted from his horse, used his lightness kung fu to fly to the runaway carriage, and grabbed the reins.

The wound on his forehead was scratched by a branch beside him at this time.

Fortunately, she found the branch and avoided it in time, otherwise it might have scratched her eyes.

Lu Fan hugged the tree trunk by the cliff with one hand, and yanked the reins with the other, slowing down the falling movement of the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, the other brothers came forward to pull together, and finally stabilized the carriage.

Lu Fan slipped because of too much force on his foot, and his ankle swelled up.

"It's a pity..." Lu Fan said, "Although the car was saved and the goods didn't fall off the cliff, but because of all this trouble, the box containing the mushrooms fell to the ground, the lid of the box was shaken open, and the rain soaked it. Permeable. Ah Shen said that after soaking these mushrooms in water for a while, they will lose their original taste, and I’m afraid it will be difficult to eat them again.”

Speaking of this, Lu Fan sighed deeply, looking quite disappointed.

Tang Jianwei immediately comforted her: "It's okay, these are things outside the body, the most important thing is that people are safe. Next time, my sister-in-law must not put herself in danger because of rescuing the goods, it is too dangerous."

Hearing what Lu Fan said, Tong Shaolin never let go of his eyebrows the whole time: "Yes, Ah Duo, you can buy more when you run out of ingredients, but if you lose your life, you really have nothing left."

Lu Fan said, "As far as I know, this batch of flower mushrooms is also the last batch. When I went, I heard from the farmer that many merchants were rushing to buy this batch of flower mushrooms, and Ah Shen bought them back at a high price. Now that the flower mushrooms are damaged, the quality of the New Year's Eve feast may plummet. It's all due to my negligence..."

Seeing that Lu Fan was very guilty, Tang Jianwei knew that it was not good to continue this topic, and immediately changed his voice:

"Sister-in-law, it stands to reason that the wheels of the carriage are so easy to fall off the shaft? Besides, you have carefully checked it before you set off in the morning, and there is no reason for it to break down at night. What's more, we didn't buy any particularly heavy goods this time, but How many boxes of flower mushrooms. How much weight can flower mushrooms have to press the axle out of the problem?"

Tong Shaoxuan: "You mean..."

Tang Jianwei was very sure: "I'm afraid someone tampered with the carriage without my sister-in-law not paying attention."

When she said this, the faces of everyone in the front hall suddenly changed.

Indeed, their family has developed really well in the past two years, and their days are getting more and more prosperous.

Although most of the people in Su County are simple and kind, it doesn't mean that everyone is like that.

There are always those stupid and bad people who don't try their best to live their lives well, but are always jealous of others.

What's more, Tang Jianwei is about to open a restaurant, which is a big threat to his colleagues.

Tong Shaoxuan said: "Whether someone has tampered with it, I will know when I look back at the condition of the carriage."

Lu Fan said: "The New Year's Eve banquet..."

Tang Jianwei supported her shoulders and said: "Sister-in-law, don't think about it anymore, I will find a way to replace it with other ingredients. There are so many ingredients and flavors in the world, and mushrooms are not the only ones."

Tong Shaoxuan listened and did not speak.

She knew that Tang Jianwei's words were real comfort.

She had heard Tang Jianwei say before that flower mushrooms are the most important ingredients in Eight Immortals Soup, without flower mushrooms, the soup base of Eight Immortals soup would be much less flavorful.

Now that Lin County is gone, if you want to buy from further away, I'm afraid it will be too late.

Do you want to replace the Eight Immortals Soup?

But they had already put out the slogan "Eldest Princess's favorite", if they really withdraw this dish, I'm afraid there will be criticisms.

If the first year's New Year's Eve banquet falls short of standards, it will only be more difficult in the future.

Thinking of this, Tong Shaoxuan also had a headache.

Tong Shaoxuan asked Tang Jianwei what his plan was, Tang Jianwei thought for a moment and said:

"I'm going to find out if there are other ingredients that can replace mushrooms, and I'll buy it again."

Tong Shaoxuan said: "If someone is really eyeing us and they can play such a black hand, no matter how many times you sell it, they will still make trouble. Now we are in the open and they are in the dark. If they want to cause trouble for us, I'm afraid It will be hard to guard against. This time it was just a problem with the ingredients and my sister-in-law was injured, but if there is a more serious accident next time..."

After she said this, the whole Tong Mansion fell into silence.

"Well... I have a plan, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Tong Changting, who was sitting by the side, spoke weakly.

No one expected that Aye would speak suddenly. You must know that apart from pressing his head to read in the morning, Tong Changting basically has no sense of presence in the mansion.

It's rare to speak, there must be some good way.

Tang Jianwei immediately said: "Aye has any ideas, but it's okay to say."

Tong Changting sat up straight: "You can find ingredients that can replace flower mushrooms, you can find the best, we don't need to delay our plan because of these villains who want to make trouble behind the scenes. But these villains must also catch them , turn it over to the government!"

Seeing Tong Changting's impassioned speech, Song Qiao knew that he must have an idea in his heart, and it was rare for him to let him be unrestrained. Song Qiao followed his words and asked:

"Then, may I ask what you can do to catch the black hands behind your back?"

Tong Changting smiled mysteriously: "We have to continue looking for ingredients, not only looking for them, but also looking for them with great fanfare, in order to lure snakes out of their holes!"

When Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan walked to the bedroom, Tang Jianwei was still sighing:

"I didn't expect Aye to be quite skilled. This method should be reliable!"

Tong Shaoxuan was still a little worried: "Ah Shen, can I still find a substitute for flower mushrooms?"

Tang Jianwei saw Ah Hua lying at the door of their bedroom with her wet nose moving, so she couldn't help but squat down and touch her chubby body.

"We have to look for it no matter what." Tang Jianwei's eyes were firm, "Someone wants to tear down the stage, so I have to sing this play well, otherwise wouldn't it make those who want to see us unlucky happy?"

Ah Hua was so comfortable being touched by her, her eyes narrowed, and she kicked her hind legs twice from time to time.

Tang Jianwei slapped it on the body with a "slap": "You little pig, you have a really good life. You know how to eat and drink all day long, and you don't have any troubles at all."

After returning to the bedroom, Lu Fan was too tired to move.

Tong Shaolin said: "Then I'll help Xiaojun wash his hair and wipe his body."

Lu Fan lay face down on the desk, pillowed his arms, and stared at Tong Shaolin quietly.

Tong Shaolin didn't get her answer, so he went straight to get hot water.

After returning the hot water and washing her hair, she threw it with a soft cloth, opened Lu Fan's skirt, and slowly wiped it off from her neck to her shoulders.

"here."

Tong Shaolin pointed to Lu Fan's shoulder, "There are also scratches."

Lu Fan's snow-white shoulders were scratched and turned bright red.

Lu Fan lowered his eyes, turning a deaf ear to Tong Shaolin's words for the first time.

The bedroom is very quiet, without warm conversations and passionate kisses.

There is no obedience, flattery, only strange silence.

Tong Shaolin carefully wiped the medicine on Lu Fan's wound, and said softly as he wiped it:

"I learned to ride a horse when I was a child, but I haven't ridden for a few years, and I have no chance to ride. I didn't expect to tell you about this, and I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Tong Shaolin took off her clothes, checked her carefully, and applied medicine to all the wounds, then wrapped her in a warm and soft fur coat, and held her in his arms:

"Don't think about the goods anymore. If you lose it, just throw it away. After all, it's a dead thing. You can find a way if you lose it. Don't take risks again in the future, and don't make fun of your own life."

"I'm not joking." When Lu Fan was serious, both his eyes and facial features were very cold, with a kind of majesty that made people fear,

"This batch of goods is very important to the Tong family. Since I am a member of the Tong family, I will do my best to protect it."

Tong Shaolin looked at her long and narrow phoenix eyes, the candlelight reflected inside, dyed her pupils a layer of amber.

Tong Shaolin held the back of her neck and kissed her.

Avoiding Lu Fan's wound, Tong Shaolin showed unprecedented enthusiasm tonight, even with a sense of encroachment.

Lu Fan knew that Tong Shaolin liked the way she took the initiative, but today she was a little tired and didn't want to do that.

……

Late at night, both of them were tired. Tong Shaolin hugged Lu Fan, and the hot sweat on his body gradually disappeared.

Lu Fan didn't show up, and both of them knew it well.

Tong Shaolin didn't force himself, kissed Lu Fan's forehead, and slowly squeezed her fingers.

Lu Fan opened his eyes, looked at Tong Shaolin's chin, with a slight smile:

"I haven't told you before... I can't help but think about you since the first time I saw you. Remember the first time you talked to me? I didn't dare to look at you. I liked you at that time There are a lot of people, both men and women, and they are all from rich families in Su County. Unexpectedly, the person who will become your wife in the end...is me."

Tong Shaolin smiled softly, and the air that he exhaled while laughing hit the back of Lu Fan's hand:

"Then why do you have the nerve to say these things today?"

Without blinking, Lu Fan asked Tong Shaolin:

"Azhao, when did you like me? I remember when we first met, you didn't even look at me, and you mistook me for someone else."

"Of course, I like you more and more in the accumulation of getting along with each other."

"yes……"

Tong Shaolin's brows were pressed together with a slight crease: "Why do you question this?"

Lu Fan closed his eyes in her arms: "I thought you liked someone else at that time."

Tong Shaolin: "?"

The matter stuck in his heart gradually weighed down Lu Fan's breath.

She wanted to ask a long time ago, but she was afraid that after asking, the relationship between her and Tong Shaolin would fall apart.

There is a secret in Tong Shaolin's heart, a group of power that has never been relieved, oppressing her.

Lu Fan had long seen the thread hidden in the calmness, but she didn't dare to mention it because she was afraid of losing it.

But if you don't mention it, that matter will always be stuck in your throat.

The two of them will never go to the deepest part of each other's heart.

Lu Fan tightened his fingers and held Tong Shaolin:

"Azhao, do you...do you treat me as someone else?"
