Go to the small building

Unwilling Shen Hao heard that the housekeeper of Fu's house carried out the old lady, knowing that he was threatening him, but he didn't dare to act rashly.Looking at this movement, it has attracted many people. If the old lady is alarmed recently, no matter how much she loves herself, she will be punished.

After thinking for a while, Shen Hao laughed and said, "What are you talking about, I'm being rude, miss, please forgive me."

If it was someone else, Fu Shuhua would have to give him a little bit of trouble, but today he is discussing with the Shen family, if he offends Shen Hao, it is estimated that no matter how fair the old lady Shen is, she will favor her grandson, so why not make a favor and give both sides a step down.

After thinking about it carefully, Fu Shuhua said, "It must be that Mr. Shen drank a few more glasses just now, and it's not surprising that he did it unintentionally after drinking."

"That's right, that's right, I lost my composure after drinking, I'm laughing---" Shen Hao would hit a snake with a stick, and returned to his table with a mocking smile.

Fu Shuhua signaled the butler to sit down and continue eating, but he was completely out of mood, and his mind was not on the dining table at all, he just put his chopsticks lightly, and lost his appetite.

Although Fu Shuhua remained silent after the episode, she was vaguely aware of the seemingly absent visitation from the table in front, and that feeling made her feel numb all over, as if she was the prey of a poisonous snake.

Fortunately, the proposals in the afternoon came to an end soon, and after a good deal of courtesy with the heads of various drug stores, Fu Shuhua got on the return carriage as he wished.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of Fu's residence, Mrs. Fu greeted her. Seeing Fu Shuhua who was unharmed, Mrs. Fu recited "Amitabha", and hurriedly asked someone to prepare hot water for Fu Shuhua to take a bath to relieve fatigue.

Along the way, Fu Shuhua ordered the servants who accompanied him today to keep their teeth shut, and not a single word of what happened today should be heard by the elders.

So far, the trip to Linjiang Tower has come to an end.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching day by day, Master Fu's condition has not improved a bit, and he looks dispirited. The doctor has come many times and only said to take good care of him, and he will get better when the next spring returns.

Master Fu was lying on the bed relying on some precious medicinal materials to support him, so naturally all the housework fell on Fu Shuhua and Mrs. Fu.Worrying about his mother's troubles, Fu Shuhua took care of most of the things secretly before handing them over to Mrs. Fu.

On this day, Fu Shuhua was listening to the housekeeper's report on the year-end financial expenditures in the study, when a servant from below announced that a distinguished guest had come to visit, Madam invited the young lady to meet the guests in the front hall.

"Dear guest? Did you tell me your name?" Logically speaking, it shouldn't be a matter of the medicine shop. All the families that should be visiting have also sent people to send things. Is there any one that has been missed? Fu Shuhua asked while thinking to himself .

"It is said that the Shen family sent someone here," the servant replied politely.

Now Fu Shuhua is even more unpredictable. If you want to talk about the Shen family, except for the Linjianglou incident last time, it should have nothing to do with the Fu family. Could it be---

Fu Shuhua frowned and went back to the boy, "Tell Madam I'll be there later",

The servant got away with talking, but Fu Shuhua saw that the housekeeper was also suspicious, "The lady didn't know about the Linjiang Tower last time, and Shen Hao didn't know that the lady is from the Fu family, so this time---"

"Let's go to the front hall to meet that person for a while, and see what kind of medicine is sold in the Shen family's gourd."

Hearing the words, the butler also felt that he could discuss countermeasures first by exploring the facts, so he accompanied Fu Shuhua to the front hall.

The Shen family member had been waiting impatiently, and when he saw Fu Shuhua stepping into the front hall, he immediately smiled.After Fu Shuhua sat down, he expressed his intentions to the Fu family.

It turned out that it was Shen Hao who failed to be frivolous and beautiful in Linjiang Tower last time. Later, he found out that Fu Shuhua was the Miss Fu family that many friends and friends often mentioned on weekdays. In Linjianglou, she fell in love with Miss Fu's family at first sight and admired each other, so she invited the old lady to come to her door to propose marriage.

The old lady of the Shen family is not a foolish person. Shen Hao has always been famous. This daughter of the Fu family is also a smart person. The story of love at first sight is unbelievable. She didn't listen to her grandson's words, so she asked someone to inquire about the situation of Linjiang Tower that day. He was so angry that he wanted to beat this unworthy descendant to death with a cane on the spot.

But Shen Hao had long expected that his old lady would make such a move, and immediately passed out on the ground, and was so frightened that the old lady screamed out heartily.Seeing that it was almost time for Shen Hao to get married, he took the opportunity to propose marriage, and he stopped going out to find flowers and ask Liu, and only took care of the Shen family's business at ease.

This is undoubtedly the most powerful temptation for Mrs. Shen. After thinking about it, she only told Shen Hao that she would think about it again, and then secretly sent someone to check the details of the Fu family in detail, especially the situation of the Fu family medicine store after Fu Shuhua took over the family. Mrs. Shen was very satisfied with the result of the return.

There are two grandsons in my family, Shen Hao is not doing business all day long, and hangs around the place of fireworks with a group of mobs. After a hundred years, if the Shen family property is handed over to Shen Hao, it will be a waste of money.

Although the little grandson, Shen Mo, is smart and well-behaved, his body is not as good as that of ordinary people since he was a child. In recent years, even though he has been recuperated by wandering magicians, his body has not improved.

The plan for now is to find a good wife for Shen Hao, to help the Shen family spread its branches and leaves, to give birth to the next successor, and to be able to teach her great-grandson well after her death.

This person must be and can only be Fu Shuhua.

Fu Shuhua is the only daughter in the family, so there is no need to worry about the Shen family property being coveted by collateral relatives. After Fu Shuhua gets married, the Fu family's property will naturally be merged into the Shen family in the future.Leaving aside these things, Fu Shuhua's talent and appearance are both superior, and he has such courage at a young age. As long as he teaches himself well, he will be able to take charge of himself in time, so why worry about his Shen family being unhappy in a hundred years.

The more Mrs. Shen thought about it, the more she felt that this marriage must be concluded, and the sooner the better, so she hurriedly sent someone to Fu's family to propose marriage at the New Year's Eve.

When Mrs. Fu heard the intention of the Shen family's visit, she was startled, and looked at her daughter with a slightly flustered expression.

Fu Shuhua still showed the mountain but not the water. Although his heart was beating secretly, he remained calm.

The people from the Shen family couldn't see Fu Shuhua's thoughts, so they couldn't help feeling a little more anxious.

"Thank you for your great love, but marriage is not a trifling matter. I will discuss it with my parents before replying," Fu Shuhua pondered.

The Shen family saw that they could not get a definite reply today, so they had to go back first.

In Master Fu's room, Fu Shuhua saw that he could no longer hide it, so he told the whole story about that day in Linjiang Tower, and spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

"The Shen family is too deceitful, I will never agree to this marriage," Master Fu said angrily, pounding on the bed.

Mrs. Fu hugged Fu Shuhua and wept together, the two were very angry, but Fu Shuhua was still sober, "If you don't agree this time, the Shen family will definitely not let it go, I'm afraid they will suppress our Fu family medicine shop everywhere."

"So what, even if I, Fu Wentong, dissipate all the family wealth, I will never do this business of selling my daughter." Immediately, he called the butler to come in, and sent someone to Shen's house to reject the marriage.

Originally, Shen Hao thought that if the old lady Shen came forward, a mere Fu Shuhua would definitely be able to catch him, but he didn't expect that it was the Fu family who waited for Wang Chuan Qiushui to come back. Shen Hao was completely dumbfounded.

When he turned the corner, he was naturally furious, and immediately went to the old lady Shen to seek death and life.

Originally, being rejected by the Fu family made the old lady Shen depressed, but it was even more disturbing to be tossed about by Shen Hao. She immediately sent an order to suppress the Fu family with all her strength, and would definitely force Fu Shuhua to marry into the Shen family. Can swallow.

So less than ten days before the New Year's Eve, those drug stores that had a lot of contacts with the Fu family stopped their business with the Fu family for the coming year, and the supply channels of the previous drug stores all presumed that the supply was short or sold out. .

Old varieties of medicinal materials cannot be sold, and new types of medicinal materials cannot enter.In just ten days, the business of the Fu family medicine store was shaved off by nine layers, leaving only one layer of old capital to support all expenses of the Fu family.

In desperation, Fu Shuhua had no choice but to give some money to the servants of Fu's mansion, and most of them dispersed.One New Year's Eve, thousands of houses outside were lit up, and it was very lively, but the Fu's house was deserted.

Under Shen Hao's instigation, the Shen Family Medicine Store exterminated the Fu Family. In the three days after the Spring Festival, the Shen Family Medicine Store did not hesitate to hurt themselves, and pushed out some medicinal materials that ordinary people could not afford. How many years has it been? It's a good thing that you can't even come across. Naturally, the people in Xuanzhou flocked to buy the low-priced half-sell and half-free medicinal materials from Shen's medicine store, and the sales of Fu's medicinal materials stagnated.

Seeing that the Fu family had offended the Shen family, the other bank owners in Xuanzhou were probably exhausted, and they were happy to make friends with the Shen family, so they sent people to the door to urge the Fu family to pay off the debts owed before.

This is undoubtedly worse for the surviving Fu family, but Mr. Fu is stubborn and orders Fu Shuhua to take all the remaining money to pay off the debt.

By the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, even the last piece of jewelry belonging to Mrs. Fu and Fu Shuhua had been pawned. The Fu family was really out of food and medicine at the moment, but the debt was still not paid off.

Mr. Fu has stopped taking medicine for many days, and after many twists and turns, he is now bedridden, and he is better at sleeping than awake every day.

Mrs. Fu also washed her face with tears, and Fu Shuhua was heartbroken in her eyes.Seeing that his parents were in such a difficult situation, Fu Shuhua cried and fell down in front of his father's bed, "Then the Shen family clearly made it impossible for the Fu family to gain a foothold in Xuanzhou, all they want is a daughter, as long as they do what they want, the Fu family can be brought back to life. "

Hearing this, Master Fu struggled to sit up and motioned for Fu Shuhua to come closer.When Fu Shuhua got close, he slapped Fu Shuhua's face mercilessly,

"You...you...you bastard, unfilial daughter...who allowed you to say such words, father told you...even...even if the Fu family is destroyed, you must not humiliate yourself, cough cough...my Fu family This is the only backbone left in life..." Fu Shuhua, who was stunned by Fu Wentong's slap, touched his face in disbelief. Since he was a child, he rarely scolded his father and himself for wanting to beg the Shen family. resist.

Fu Shuhua knelt in front of his father and wept uncontrollably, "Don't worry, father, my daughter will never bring up this matter again."

On this day, Fu Shuhua decocted medicine for Fu Wentong in the kitchen, watching the first snow in Xuanzhou year after year outside the window, fascinated.

This is the last medicinal material in my hands. After today, I don't know what to do tomorrow. Now I can only ask the heads of those medicine shops that used to have close contacts with the Fu family. Anyway, they also watched me grow up. Uncles who have called them for more than ten years, although they did not get help from them a few years ago, they have never made trouble, so now they are not so desperate to save them.

After making up his mind, Fu Shuhua brought the medicine to Master Fu and expressed his thoughts to his parents.

Master Fu looked at Fu Shuhua, his throat moved up and down, but he didn't say anything.But Mrs. Fu just quietly helped Fu Shuhua tidy up her sleeves, and told her not to force her, and go back early.

Fu Shuhua nodded and hurried out.

Master Fu, who remained silent all this time, asked his wife, "Are you all ready?"

Madam Fu just nodded numbly.

Fu Wentong looked at his wife and sighed softly, "Will you regret it?"

Mrs. Fu shook his hand tightly and shook her head, "What are you talking about? Isn't it already decided?"

"Then take it out—"

Fu Shuhua has really experienced what it means to call people to eat cold tea and cook like rabbits. When father was in charge of the board, the heads of each family would call each other brothers and brothers, but now that the Fu family has lost power, they all shut their doors behind closed doors. not see.

That Uncle Li actually told himself directly that he didn't want to offend the Shen family, and taught himself not to disturb him again.The Shen family, and the Shen family again, could it be that they just cover the sky with one hand?

These businessmen are really hypocrites. They will regret it when the Fu family revives in the future, Fu Shuhua thought bitterly in his heart.

Run around all day and get nothing.

Fu Shuhua returned to Fu Mansion full of guilt, but his mother came out to greet him.It was strange at first, but when he found that there was no sound in the house, Fu Shuhua immediately panicked, fearing that something would happen to his father, he hurriedly opened the door of his parents' room.

The scene that caught my eye was my mother leaning against her father's bed with her back to the door. Fu Shuhua walked over quickly, and after seeing her father and mother's appearance, she collapsed to the ground in fright. The body is already cold,

"No, no, this is not true...Father...Mother...", Fu Shuhua let out a heart-piercing cry.

"Why...why did you leave Shu'er alone...why...why...", no matter how strong and capable Fu Shuhua was, seeing her parents die violently in front of her, her last line of defense was completely exhausted. collapsed.

Fu Shuhua curled up and lay on the ground crying out of breath, only one thought in his mind was to go with his parents.

By the time Fu Shuhua's voice was hoarse from crying, his tears were dry, his limbs were completely numb, and the sky had completely darkened, only the thick layer of white snow outside the door still exuded a cold light.

Fu Shuhua is like a doll that has lost its life. Now he neither cries nor yells. He just gets up stiffly and finds the flint to light the candle. When the light comes out, Fu Shuhua squints his eyes, and glances at a similar letter on the table from the corner of his eye. items.
