Chapter 223 Your Father is Getting Old
Nangong Rui stood aside and watched Qian Feng, who was usually honest and upright in the military camp, coaxing Zhao Xiuwan with soft words here. He didn't know what he felt in his heart.
Envy, jealousy, and a little bit of bitterness and boredom gradually spread from my heart.
Zhao Xiuwan looked at the earrings that Qian Feng took out, and a hint of disgust actually rose in her heart.
She doesn't want this at all!
She couldn't help but glance at Nangong Rui. Coincidentally, Nangong Rui was also looking at her. The two people's eyes met in the air, and then quickly separated.
Qian Feng saw that Zhao Xiuwan had no intention of paying attention to him at all, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He looked up and saw Nangong Rui still standing aside, and couldn't help but smile, "Brother Nangong, why don't you help me persuade your sister-in-law! You have to go home, and quarrels are one thing!"
Nangong Rui's heart skipped a beat when his name was suddenly called. He then shook his head and smiled, "It's not convenient for me to talk about Brother Qian's family affairs. But sister-in-law, it's always unsafe to live outside." After he said that, he quickly lowered his eyes.
The room fell into an eerie silence.
After a moment, Zhao Xiuwan laughed, "Okay, someone persuaded me today. As the saying goes, listening to others' advice is enough to make you full, so I will go back with you this time. But if you yell at me again next time, I will divorce you! I don't care whether I married you because of the new emperor's decree or not. If he is angry, the worst that can happen is that I will chop off my head!"
When Qian Feng heard that Zhao Xiuwan agreed to go back with him, he no longer thought about anything else and immediately smiled from head to toe.
"Okay, okay, I'll obey you from now on!" Qian Feng quickly stuffed the earrings into Zhao Xiuwan's hands, "I won't dare yell at you anymore!"
As long as Zhao Xiuwan doesn't do anything impulsive, how could he yell at her?
"I'm telling you, I've hired Brother Nangong to help look after the store." Zhao Xiuwan glanced at Nangong Rui, and seeing that he was still lowering his head, she rolled her eyes at Nangong Rui, and then said to Qian Feng. "Do you have any objections?"
Qian Feng knew Nangong Rui's current situation and his family's situation. It was unreasonable for that family to make trouble at the General's Mansion. If Nangong Rui had no place to stay after returning, who knows how his family would torture him.
So Qian Feng nodded immediately, and then he said to Nangong Rui, "I heard about your family situation. I also know that your family now lives in a compound and the houses are full. There is room to stay in the backyard here. If you have no place to stay at home at night, you might as well stay in the backyard here." He had investigated the situation of Nangong Rui's family before, and was afraid that they would be hungry, so he sent some rice and flour to their family.
As the husband of the restaurant owner, Qian Feng is very familiar with the situation here.
Anyway, now that Zhao Xiuwan has been taken back by him, the backyard here is empty and everything is ready. There is nothing wrong with Nangong Rui living here.
Nangong Rui then raised his eyes, his eyes slightly red, "Okay." This time, for some unknown reason, he did not refuse and agreed directly.
"This is what a good brother is like!" Qian Feng patted Nangong Rui on the shoulder, "I'll trouble you here from now on!"
Before Nangong Rui nodded, the waiter's voice rang out outside, "Boss, your friend's father has been found. But the situation is a little bad."
"Come in and talk." Zhao Xiuwan said.
The waiter opened the door and came in, bowed and said, "The old man was beaten up in Jingui Casino. They said he cheated in gambling. Now the people in Jingui Casino are threatening that either you pay 500 taels to redeem him, or they will chop off Old Ye's hands and feet!"
When Nangong Rui heard this, he immediately clasped his fists towards Qian Feng and Zhao Xiuwan and said, "I'm sorry, I'll go to Jingui Casino now."
"Qian Feng!" Zhao Xiuwan quickly called Qian Feng. Qian Feng knew what Zhao Xiuwan meant. Nangong Rui was his brother. Although he also looked down on Nangong Rui's family members, under the current circumstances, Nangong Rui could not be allowed to go alone.
"Go and deliver a letter to the General's Mansion." Qian Feng said to the waiter as he stood up and chased after Nangong Rui. "Tell me about the situation of the Nangong family."
When Zhao Xiuwan heard that the General's Mansion would be disturbed, she could no longer sit still and quickly stood up to follow.
"What are you going to do?" Qian Feng held Zhao Xiuwan down and said, "Won't you just cause trouble if you go?"
"You try yelling at me again!" Zhao Xiuwan slapped Qian Feng's hand away, "What did you just promise me?"
"Oh, you're arguing with me about this now!" Qian Feng's head was also buzzing, "Okay, okay, stop making trouble. If you really want to go, you must follow me!"
He was afraid of Zhao Xiuwan. He had just coaxed her into submission, and he couldn't stand Zhao Xiuwan making a scene again.
In Mangcheng, Qian Feng still has some confidence in himself, and it shouldn't be a big problem to protect his wife.
Besides, he also asked his servant to go to the general's mansion to report the news.
Qian Feng pulled Zhao Xiuwan and hurriedly chased after Nangong Rui.
The waiter notified the general's mansion as quickly as possible.
When the news reached the general's mansion, Su Jixiang and Wei Ling were discussing growing vegetables in the greenhouse.
Su Jixiang simply told Wei Ling about his idea, and Wei Ling showed great interest.
The Northwest is bitterly cold, and there are basically no fresh vegetables after autumn. Looking at how every household has to dig vegetable cellars and store vegetables before winter, you can tell how scarce fruits and vegetables are in Mangcheng in winter.
If Su Jixiang's idea can be realized, people in Mangcheng will be able to eat fresh vegetables in winter.
"I know there's a hot spring nearby." Wei Ling said to Su Jixiang, "I'll take you there later to see if you can use geothermal heat to keep warm."
"That's a good idea!" Su Jixiang's eyes lit up. Building a greenhouse is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the problem of heat preservation. If a lot of charcoal is needed for heat preservation, then the cost of growing this vegetable will be too high! Even if there are vegetables in winter, it is not something that ordinary families can afford.
Therefore, once such expensive vegetables come out, there will be no problem finding sales in the capital, but they will probably be very difficult to sell in Mangcheng.
When the two were talking excitedly, Wei Feng from the gatehouse came to report that Captain Qian Feng had sent someone to bring the news.
After hearing this, Su Jixiang and Wei Ling looked at each other.
"Qian Feng doesn't have any money either." Su Jixiang said, "He probably just helped Zhao Xiuwan fill the deficit, and he must be in a lot of debt."
"How do you know?" Wei Ling frowned. He also knew about this matter. Qian Feng borrowed money from him to relieve Zhao Xiuwan's embarrassment. But he did not tell Su Jixiang about this matter when he came back.
"Li Yuzhu didn't come to make trouble. Isn't this matter resolved?" Su Jixiang said with a smile, "If Li Yuzhu was really in the wrong, wouldn't Zhao Xiuwan have known about it to everyone in Mangcheng?"
