Heartthrobs can't be unlucky all the time

When Ning Zhenru built a weaving workshop from scratch, he relied on the help of his original wife Shen Jincui's natal family. Shen's family is not in Huizhou, but is a well-known big family in Qinzhou.

Qinzhou is more than 700 kilometers away from Huizhou. Shen Jincui's marriage to Ning Zhenru was strongly prevented by his family at the time, but when he was young, Ning Zhenru was handsome and eloquent, which coaxed Shen Jincui, a daughter of a thousand gold, to give up on him. At that time, the Ning family also did business, but it's nothing compared to the Shen family.

Shen Jincui was so infatuated with Ning Zhenru that she even used a hunger strike to show her firmness. The Shen family felt sorry for the only daughter. After half a year of entanglement, the Shen family could only accept Ning Zhenru.

Later, Ning Zhenru met Zhu Hong in Huizhou, and with Zhu Hong's promise and help, his cloth shop business was transferred from Qinzhou to Huizhou.

And Shen Jincui also settled in Huizhou with Ning Zhenru.

The former eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Jincui, has an older brother named Shen Jintang. The Shen family is in the linen business in Qinzhou. The linen they produce is of good quality and cheap, and many people will buy the linen from the Shen family.Due to small profits but quick turnover, Shen's stores are widely distributed.

Shen Jincui married Ning Zhenru, and later lived with her husband in Huizhou.After giving birth to Ning Ting, Ning Zhenru was busy with his business because of the long distance. As long as Ning Ting could remember, he and his parents went back to Shen's house once.

In his memory, Ning Ting remembered that his uncle was very kind to his mother, and even loved Ning Ting. Every year on Shen Jincui's and Ning Ting's birthdays, the Shen family would make a special trip to send gifts until Shen Jincui died of illness.

That time, Shen Jintang brought his daughter to Shen Jincui's funeral. The sense of dignity on Shen Jintang's face was even heavier than that of Ning Ting. He didn't expect that when he saw his sister again, it would be her remains. Shen Jintang's face It was full of sadness, and at the same time, it was very accusing of Ning Zhenru.

If Ning Zhenru hadn't brought Yue Ru back to the Ning Mansion, if Ning Zhenru hadn't empathized with someone else and given birth to an illegitimate child, how could his sister have become ill with grievances and died of a serious illness!

After the funeral, Shen Jintang and Ning Zhenru didn't know what to say in the study, the young Ning Ting and Ning Yu could only hear the violent quarrel behind the door.

Shen Jintang left after the eldest wife of the Ning family was buried in a garden on the outskirts of the Ning family. When he left, he also told Ning Ting that he would write to his uncle if he had anything to do in the future.

Uncle will definitely come to help you.

It's just that the last time Ning Zhenru passed away, after Ning Ting wrote to Shen Jintang, Shen Jintang just replied and sent a gift to express his condolences, but no one came.

It can be seen how deep Shen Jintang's complaints towards Ning Zhenru are.

"Brother, are you going to write a letter to Uncle?" Ning Yu watched as Ning Ting took a stack of letter paper in his hand, the brush was stained with ink, and was about to write.

"Well, now only uncle can help us."

All day today, Ning Ting was looking for a place to provide them with silk thread or other solutions, but there was hardly a silk thread workshop in Huizhou that was not instructed by Zhu's family.

The most difficult thing at present is that there is a batch of cloth that will be delivered at the end of the month, but the silk thread of the cloth workshop is not enough to produce this batch of goods.

This order is a high-end silk order from a rich man in the north. The time is very tight. If the delivery cannot be made on time, the Ning family’s reputation will be ruined. There is also an agreement in the contract they signed. If the Ning family silk workshop cannot guarantee the delivery Quantity, but also need to compensate the wealthy businessman a large amount of expenses.

So, now that Ning Ting is at a loss, the only solution he can think of is to seek help from his uncle.

Ning Ting wrote the letter very quickly. He roughly told his uncle the current plight of the Ning family, and hoped that his uncle could find a way to help him.

After writing the letter, he sent someone to send it to Shen's Mansion in Qinzhou as quickly as possible.

Ning Yu didn't dare to disturb Ning Ting, he helped his elder brother grind the ink and picked up the wick to make the candle light brighter.

After ordering the messenger, Ning Ting turned around and saw Ning Yu who was tidying up in front of the desk. He thought of the scene just now, and there was a sense of red sleeves adding fragrance. The corner of Ning Ting's mouth curled up, and the fatigue of the whole day seemed to disappear instantly.

He walked up to Ning Yu and hugged Ning Yu who was at a loss.

"Ayu, it's a good thing you've been with me all this time."

Ning Yu patted Ning Ting's back a few times, and returned Ning Ting with a smile, saying;

"I will always be with my brother."

One night passed, and Ning Ting went out at dawn. Because of the Zhu family's sudden attack on the Ning family, Ning Ting has received many invitations from the boss and some partners who are familiar with him since yesterday. They need to meet with him for a detailed discussion, so Ning Ting started to get busy early in the morning.

Ning Yu also couldn't sleep well, he had a nightmare, a nightmare about his brother, he woke up from the dream and found that the sky outside was still dark.

In the middle of winter, when the breath turned into ice, Ning Yu was walking on the street wearing a thick fox fur cloak, followed by several servants.

As he walked, he thought about it. In fact, Ning Yu didn't have a clear understanding of the predicament the Ning family is facing now. He just noticed from Ning Ting's reaction that his brother might be in trouble that is difficult to solve, otherwise he wouldn't Write to Uncle.

It should be said that it is Ning Ting's uncle, not his.

When he met Shen Jintang when he was a child, Ning Yu had been hiding behind Ning Zhenru or Ning Ting. He was not even sure if Shen Jintang had noticed him, but he knew that Shen Jintang was very concerned about his existence.

Otherwise, he wouldn't call Ning Zhenru an illegitimate child when he quarreled with him in the study.

illegitimate child……

Ning Yu lowered his head, he remembered some bad things.

There were not many people on the winter street in the morning, and Ning Yu just went out for a walk. When he reached the gate of the city, he found some noise not far away.

Ning Yu signaled his servant to go and find out what happened. He noticed a group of ragged people at the gate of the city.

After a while, the servant in gray and black hat came back and explained to Ning Yu that at the gate of the city was a group of refugees who had fled from the northern border, but the city lord had ordered that refugees not be allowed to enter the city at will, because there had already been cities to accommodate refugees. Plague situation.

Ning Yu frowned, looking at the mourning people at the gate of the city, he wanted to get closer, but the servant behind him reminded him:

"Master, we should go back."

Ignoring the servants behind him, Ning Yu walked straight towards the gate of the city.

He saw a mother holding a child, that mother seemed to have noticed Ning Yu's gaze, she didn't speak, just looked at him pleadingly.

After approaching, Ning Yu found that this dirty and weather-beaten woman was holding a very thin child, who looked like five or six years old, her lips were dry and peeled, it seemed that she hadn't drank water for a long time, and her clothes were very dirty Thin, the wrists and ankles exposed to the cold wind have been turned blue from the cold.

They stared at each other for a while, and the child suddenly coughed, the piercing coughing sound was particularly sad on this winter morning.

"Xiao Yuan, hurry up and call a doctor over."

"Okay, sir."

The servant who first went to inquire about the situation at the city gate, that is, Xiao Yuan ordered by Ning Yu, immediately walked towards the medical center in the city, and brought an old doctor with him after a while.

But the soldiers at the city gate still did not allow those people to come in,

"We're out of town."

You need a token to enter the city, but you don't need to show anything when you leave the city.

Ning Yu took the old doctor outside the city gate to see a doctor for the child, and at the same time ordered Xiao Yuan to go back to the mansion to get a few more tokens for entering the city.

The Ning family needed to go out of the city often to do business, so they had to prepare the tokens for entering the city. After getting the order, Xiao Yuan hurried back to the house, found the housekeeper to report the situation and took five tokens.

Here, Ning Yu took the old doctor to take the woman holding the child to a clean place under the city wall. Seeing the child coughing non-stop, the old doctor took his pulse and said that he needed hot water, so Ning Yu hurried back Xiao Yuan and the other servants rushed to fetch some hot water.

After finally finding hot water, the old doctor soaked a packet of medicinal powder in the water and asked the child to drink it. Then he asked the woman where she came from and how long the child had been coughing like this.

The woman answered truthfully one by one. They came from Anping City in the north and walked here for two months. The child's name is Xiaozhu, and he was half a month ago. I slept under a big tree in the wilderness for a night, and it happened to be raining again, and Xiaozhu started coughing the next day.

The old doctor rolled Xiaozhu's eyelids, checked his tongue coating, and confirmed that Xiaozhu was only infected with a cold, not a plague, so he wrote down the prescription and said that he would drink the medicine for half a month according to this prescription. The wind and cold will be fine.

Ning Yu immediately ordered the two servants to go get the medicine, decoct the medicine and then buy more food. At this time, Xiao Zhu and the woman, who were much better, knelt on the ground to thank the old doctor and Ning Yu.

Ning Yu was a little frightened by their behavior and told them not to do this, but the woman insisted on pulling Xiao Zhu to kowtow to him, and said bluntly;

"Benefactor, thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor."

Under Ning Yu's signal, Xiao Yuan and another servant hurried over to help the woman up, but the woman couldn't hold on, and the ignorant Xiao Zhu could only imitate his mother and kowtow.

"Sister-in-law, get up quickly, your son's health is not good, don't make him feel worse." Xiao Yuan said while pulling the woman's arm to get her up.

The woman and her son kowtowed more than a dozen times in a row, and then sat on the ground with tears all over their face.

She didn't open her mouth to ask Ning Yu for anything else, she just sat quietly like this.

When the two servants came back with the medicine in the crock and a large paper-wrapped steamed bun, Ning Yu and the woman were surrounded by refugees.

They looked at Ning Yu eagerly, but no one said a word.

Just now this woman told Ning Yu her background. She was originally the wife of a head of a hundred households in Anping City in the north, called Huiniang. , her husband and other soldiers fought desperately with the general guarding the city, but they were still killed by the enemy in the north. Anping City and several other cities were all captured overnight. She and her son Xiaozhu escaped from the city with great difficulty under the cover of one of Xianggong's subordinates, but they were busy running on the way, and they hardly brought anything out. He is willing to sell himself as a slave, and gives the money for selling himself to Hui Niang, so that she can continue on the road.

It was only later that Xiaozhu fell ill and coughed continuously from last night to this morning, so she wanted to go to the city to find a doctor, but she didn't expect that the further south she went, the more difficult it would be to go to the city.

"Benefactor, the benefactor's great kindness to the slave family and Xiaozhu, we will always remember it in our hearts."

Ning Yu first gave Hui Niang and Xiao Zhu the food brought back by the servants, and then distributed the rest to the refugees around. There were not enough steamed buns, so Ning Yu gave Xiao Yuan his money bag and asked him to take it with him. The other three servants went to buy all the steamed buns that had been spread earlier, and then distributed them to the refugees at the gate of the city.

Sudden--

The refugees with steamed buns in their hands all knelt down. Ning Yu, who was helping to distribute steamed buns, was a little surprised. He didn't know why these people knelt down suddenly.

"Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor!"

Ning Yu looked at these refugees who were kneeling with yellow and emaciated faces and looked at him gratefully, with a look of bewilderment, and hurriedly pulled everyone up, why did he kneel down at every turn, and he didn't do anything.

At this time the sun had risen, and Ning Yu asked his servants to help the refugees and put them aside. He sat beside Hui Niang and asked Hui Niang what his plans were next. Hui Niang said that there was a ruin not far from here. Temple, she wants to stay there with Xiaozhu for a while, and wait for Xiaozhu's illness to recover before leaving.

"Huiniang, where are you going to find relatives?"

"The place we are going to is Baiyu Village, Feiyu City."
