Heartthrobs can't be unlucky all the time

Because Zhu Yi ran out to play on New Year's Eve and did not have a reunion dinner with his family at home, the annoyed master Zhu directly ordered Zhu Yi to be grounded.

Before the Lantern Festival, Zhu Yi would not be allowed to go out again, so he had to stay at home honestly with Master Zhu and Mrs. Zhu.

When Ning Yu received Zhu Yi's handwritten letter, he was amused by his words and felt sorry for his grounding.

But Ning Yu didn't feel bad for a long time, there was a sudden commotion outside the gate of Ning Mansion, several horses stopped, and it was Ning Ting, Shen Jintang and the subordinates they brought down from above.

Today is the fourth day of the lunar new year, and Ning Ting and the others went to Feiyun City for five days.

Ning Yu looked at Ning Ting's majestic face, and knew that this trip must be rewarding.

Sure enough, as soon as Ning Ting came back, after making arrangements for his uncle to rest, he went back to his room and had a sip of tea, and then told Ning Yu, who was by his side, what they had experienced in the past few days.

Shen Jintang and the owner of Feiyun City are actually cousins. Feiyun City is located at the junction of Huizhou and Binzhou. After Ting's difficulties, under Shen Jintang's persuasion, thinking that Ning Ting could be regarded as his cousin, he took Ning Ting directly to the chamber of commerce in the city and asked Ning Ting to have an interview with the bosses.

The fact that the Zhu family cut off the raw materials of the Ning family, as long as they are merchants who make silk cloth, of course they have heard of it. Fortunately, Zhu Hong's hand has not yet reached Feiyun City. Ning Ting and several others can provide silk thread raw materials The boss talked about cooperation, but the delivery on the road may take some time, but at least the Ning family's store will not go bankrupt.

When they came back and passed by Feiyang City, Ning Ting stopped by to visit Fu Qing and learned something.

"Ayu, the Ning's shop is saved."

"Great brother!"

Ning Yu was also happy for Ning Ting.

"Ayu, there is something I want to tell you..."

"Master, Master, someone is looking for you, Master." Xiao Yuan's shout suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting Ning Ting's words.

"Xiao Yuan, don't worry, speak slowly, who is looking for me?"

"Master Ankang."

Xiao Yuan saluted Ning Ting first, then turned to Ning Yu, and said, "It's Hui Niang, here comes Hui Niang."

When Ning Yu heard this, he was very surprised. Why did Hui Niang come suddenly? He told Ning Ting that Hui Niang was an acquaintance, and he hadn't seen her for a long time.

"Brother, take a rest first, I'll come over later."

After finishing speaking, Ning Yu went out with Xiao Yuan, looking at Ning Yu's back, Ning Ting in the room was thinking about something.

"Hui Niang!"

Ning Yu looked at the back of a figure waiting in the living room, and called out.

Hui Niang turned around, and Ning Yu looked at this woman who looked like, but not very much like in his impression.

She was wearing plain linen clothes, her face was free of dirt and sallow complexion, her hair was coiled up, and her face was delicate, completely different from the poor woman in Ning Yu's memory.

"benefactor!"

Hui Niang also greeted her, very happy.

"Hui Niang, sit down quickly, how are you doing recently, where is Xiaozhu, have you found any relatives?"

Hui Niang thanked Ning Yu gratefully, and then said that she took Xiao Zhu back to Baiyu Village. Fortunately, her elder brother was still there, and her sister-in-law was also a good person, so she and Xiao Zhu stayed in Baiyu Village.

"If the benefactor hadn't given us the silver and the token to enter the city, we would definitely not be able to return home on New Year's Eve and reunite with our elder brother. Thank you benefactor."

Ning Yu waved his hand, expressing that they are also destined, and now that Hui Niang can find her relatives, he is also happy for her.

"Ah, by the way, benefactor, didn't you tell me about the Zheng family at that time?"

"Yes, Hui Niang, have you met the brothers of the Zheng family when you returned to Baiyu Village?"

"This……"

Seeing Ning Yu's eager questioning, Hui Niang suddenly showed embarrassment.

"Huiniang, you just say it's okay."

"Benefactor, when I returned to the village, I went to visit the Zheng family, but..."

"But what?"

Hui Niang's hesitation is really worrying.

"However, the door of Zheng's house is closed, and no one is at home."

"At first I thought they were going out, but when I went home and asked my elder brother and sister-in-law, I found out what happened in the village recently."

Listening to Huiniang's narration, Ning Yu's heart suddenly tightened a little.

Since Ning Yu and Zheng Xiuran left, although the two brothers of the Zheng family are still living a normal life, the eldest and third child will always think of the days when they were still together in the deserted yard at some point.

The boss seemed to go hunting in the mountains normally, and then went to the market to sell his prey.After a few days of being unhappy at home, the third child was also driven to work by the boss.

The last time Zheng Xiujie presented the plan of candied fruit to City Lord Fu, Fu Qing felt that it was very feasible, so he asked the third child to go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss matters from time to time, wanting to perfect more details.

When the third child was away, Zheng Xiuyuan was the only one left in the small courtyard of the Zheng family.

Wang Dafu of the Li Chang's family saw that the Zheng family suddenly lost a lot of people, and his mind became active again.

She often appeared at the door of Zheng's house, but perhaps because of Zheng Xiuyuan's evil-like warning a few months ago, she didn't dare to go in, but she discovered a pattern of Zheng Xiuyuan's work and rest.

The boss of the Zheng family would ride out early every three days, and the direction was obviously towards Feiyu City, because Wang Dafu, who lived at the entrance of the village, would always notice his riding out of the village, so she kept an extra eye on it.

Once she saw the corner of an envelope protruding from the chest of Zheng Xiuyuan who was driving out with sharp eyes. She secretly followed into the city and found that the boss of the Zheng family was actually delivering a letter.

In this way, Wang Dafu quietly observed for half a month, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the sky was getting darker and brighter.

One day, the boss of the Zheng family was riding a horse with a lantern and was walking slowly towards the entrance of the village. Before he reached the entrance of the village, the horse neighed suddenly, and something seemed to rush out in front of him, scaring the horse.

Zheng Xiuyuan hurriedly reined in the horse, but the frightened horse was even more stimulated when he pulled it hard. The horse's hoof was raised, and he didn't know what it kicked. fell to the ground.

Zheng Xiuyuan took a lot of effort to calm down the horse, and then quickly dismounted to check.

The sky was as dark as ink, and the boss of the Zheng family approached holding a lantern and found that it was not a thing that scared the horse just now, but a person.

It was Wang Dafu lying on the ground.

The dim yellow lantern shone on her face, her fat body kept wriggling, with one hand covering the arm of the other, her face was full of pain, and she kept crying with her mouth open.

Zheng Xiuyuan noticed that the arm that Wang Dafu was clutching was twisted, guessing that the horse kicked her hand just now.

Even though it was not yet dawn, the horse's neighing and Wang Dafu's scream just now alarmed the surrounding villagers.

The chief also ran out, seeing his daughter lying on the ground struggling, while Zheng Xiuyuan stood intact holding the lantern, and the chief in thick clothes hurried over to check on Wang Dafu's condition.

Zheng Xiuyuan also squatted down at this time, frowning and looking at Wang Dafu on the ground.

"Ah, this... my daughter, what's wrong with you!"

The head of the village, Wang Ming, this skinny old man, has a completely different body shape from Wang Dafu, half kneeling on the ground looking at Wang Dafu.

"Li Chang, Miss Wang rushed out just now, my horse was frightened... I kicked her."

Zheng Xiuyuan recounted what happened just now.

"It's you! Why did you kill my daughter?!"

Wang Ming heard Zheng Xiuyuan's admission that it was his horse that hurt Wang Dafu, and immediately asked Zheng Xiuyuan.

"Li Zhang, I didn't do it on purpose, it's because Miss Wang suddenly..."

"You're still quibbling!"

"Li Chief, the most urgent thing now is to find a doctor to see Miss Wang's injury."

The sky was gradually getting brighter, and more villagers gathered around following the sound. Seeing the villagers, the village chief suggested that Wang Dafu should be carried inside.

Wang Ming quickly asked someone to help, and carried Wang Dafu back to their house.

At the same time, he also detained Zheng Xiuyuan, not allowing him to leave, and making him responsible.

When the sky was bright, the only doctor in the village came to help Wang Dafu take a look, and found that her left hand was broken, but fortunately her arm was more fleshy, and it was not particularly serious.

"Tie her arms with wooden planks and remove them after a month. Don't do heavy work."

After the villagers with good medical skills helped Wang Dafu treat the wound, they left the village chief's house in a hurry.

Just now he accidentally saw the head of the village calling a few strong men to take Zheng Xiuyuan aside, his expression was not good at all, it seemed that it was very difficult for the brothers of the Zheng family to escape.

Seeing that Ning Yu heard this, Hui Niang's face became very worried. She wanted to stop, but continued to speak under Ning Yu's signal;

"I also asked the village doctor. He said that the girl from Li Chang's family was not seriously injured, but she kept crying, as if she was seriously injured."

"Then what happened to Brother Zheng?"

"Later, some villagers went to call the Zheng family, and a brother went to the Li Chang's house to redeem him, but they couldn't bring out the eldest brother of the Zheng family. The trouble was very ugly..."

"But not long after, a big man came from the city, and the two brothers were released."

"It's just that the village is going to recruit soldiers next. It stands to reason that the brothers of the Zheng family have all been selected as scholars, so they shouldn't be selected for the army. However, the head of the village still put the Zheng family on the conscription list, and they have to send someone out of their family."

"The day I returned to the village, my sister-in-law told me that it happened to be the day after they sent troops north."

"And in the end, the eldest brother of the Zheng family didn't want to be forced to be recruited by the chief, so he still volunteered to join the army."

"Benefactor, benefactor, you... are you okay..."

Hui Niang looked at Ning Yu who was about to cry, and asked worriedly, but Ning Yu only asked in a hoarse voice,

"So, brother Zheng Xiuyuan has left because of conscription?"

Hui Niang nodded and told Ning Yu that she should already be on her way to the military camp in the north by now.

Because of Wang Dafu, the head of the village became very targeted towards the Zheng family and confiscated their orchard land, but the third son of the Zheng family didn't fight much.

It's just that he doesn't seem to appear in the village very often, and has been doing things in the city.

After Hui Niang finished talking about the Zheng family, she even brought out local products to Ning Yu. Ning Yu wanted to leave her to rest for a night, but Hui Niang said that she still had some friends in the ruined temple that needed to be visited, and she would visit Ning Yu next time. .

Ning Yu asked Xiao Yuan to send Hui Niang away, slumped on a chair, his thoughts were confused.

Why……

Why doesn't he know so many things happened in the Zheng family...

Why do things always backfire like this, and people's wishes fail...

When Ning Ting approached the living room, he saw Ning Yu with red eyes staring at the ground in a daze. He walked in and took out a stack of letters from behind.

"Ayu, I want to tell you something, none of these letters have been sent."
