Chapter 139 My Savage Husband (5)
With Wang Sanmaozi making trouble, Nan Jingmu's pace became much faster. He had to rush back before dark. He was really worried about Su Qiruo being alone at home.
Lihua Town is not far from the capital and has many merchants coming and going, so it is quite prosperous.
Nan Jingmu took the two gold ingots to the bank, exchanged them for broken silver and put them separately on his body, before going to buy what he needed.
He first went to the street corner to buy a bamboo basket and carried it on his back like others did.
Turning around, she saw an old man and his grandson squatting in the corner selling eggs, so Nan Jingmu walked forward.
"Old man, how do you sell these eggs?"
In fact, Nan Jingmu is not good at buying things, but he also knows that Su Qiruo must eat something good now. Now that she has money, he can buy some eggs and cook them for her.
"If you want it, all these will cost you nine...eighty cents."
The old man coughed, then stretched out two fingers and gestured.
Nan Jingmu took a quick look and realized that there should be thirty eggs. Although he didn't know the market, he didn't want to take advantage of others.
The old man's health was obviously not good, and the child was so young. Nan Jingmu couldn't help but think of herself when she was young.
After his father passed away, Qiu's father had been taking care of him. Father Qiu was brought here from his parents' home and was very loyal to them.
It's just that Qiu's father was old and passed away when Nan Jingmu was twelve years old.
When he came out of Nanfu, the situation between him and Qiu's father was not good, and the two of them had suffered a lot in recent years.
The kung fu he possesses was not taught by people from Nanfu, but by a master hired by Qiu's father with the money from selling embroidery.
How could a young master from this aristocratic family learn martial arts? But Qiu's father insisted on asking Nan Jingmu to learn martial arts because he was worried that Nan Jingmu would be bullied if he left in the future.
Nan Jingmu also had to thank Father Qiu for his foresight. If not for these efforts, he might have died so many times now!
The step-brother in Nanfu could not tolerate him. Although his mother sent people to pick him up and return to Beijing, he encountered many obstacles on the way.
Nan Jingmu knew in her heart that the step-sibling just wanted to kill him and then let her son marry the daughter of the Duke of Su.
As long as Nan Jingmu is with him, the step-brother's son will not be his legitimate son.
Of course, if it hadn't been for the step-sibling's obstruction and the extra delay on the road, Nan Jingmu might have been killed along with the entire Nan family.
If you want to put it this way, the step-sister can be regarded as saving his life.
Nan Jingmu thought, maybe this is because God has eyes!
He took out a small piece of broken silver from his purse and put it in the old man's hand. Nan Jingmu squatted down to pick up eggs from the new basket he bought, and said: "I'm afraid you will be sick for a long time, so you'd better go to the doctor."
Let’s take a look at the museum! The child is still so young and can’t live without your care.”
Father Qiu couldn't hold on and left because he was reluctant to take medicine. Although Nan Jingmu is not very capable now, she still wants to help him as much as possible.
"This...I can't find it!"
The old man looked at the small piece of broken silver in his hand with embarrassment. He only had a few copper coins in his body, and he really couldn't find it.
"Your eggs are worth so much, so there's no need to change them."
Nan Jingmu picked up the eggs and put the basket on her back again. Without waiting for the old man to speak again, she strode away.
He had always remembered Su Qiruo's words, that he should walk with longer steps, so that he would not look like a young master and would not arouse suspicion.
Nan Jingmu also learned some needlework when she was with her father Qiu, so when she went to the cloth store, she did not buy ready-made clothes directly. Instead, she asked for two kinds of materials and bought some needlework, planning to go back and make it herself.
The shopkeeper saw that he was dressed unusually and the fabrics he bought were all cheap, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Nan Jingmu was not annoyed and allowed the shopkeeper to look at her.
Thinking of Su Qiruo's suggestion that the inner garment should be made of softer material, Nan Jingmu pulled out some more soft cotton.
After leaving Buzhuang, Nan Jingmu went to a meat stall to buy meat. He originally wanted to buy a chicken, but these were all live chickens, not killed.
He didn't dare to kill the chicken, and it was inconvenient for Su Qiruo to get out of bed now, so he decided not to buy it until Su Qiruo got better.
After buying the things she needed, Nan Jingmu found it difficult to carry them on her back.
Thinking of Su Qiruo's injury, Nan Jingmu went to the medical clinic again before leaving and grabbed some medicine according to the prescription prescribed by the doctor before.
On the way back, she saw a bamboo cup seller on the roadside, so Nan Jingmu bought two for ten copper coins.
I don’t have a teacup at home, so I drink from a bowl every time.
But if it was too expensive to buy a set of ceramic tea sets, it would be better to buy two bamboo cups for use first, and they would leave here after Su Qiruo recovered from her injuries.
Carrying them in his hands and carrying them on his shoulders, these things were not light. Nan Jingmu was obviously much slower when he went back.
When passing by the wheat field, Nan Jingmu glanced inside subconsciously, thinking that Wang Sanmaozi later woke up and left.
Nan Jingmu suddenly regretted it. It would have been better if he had struck harder just now and let her lie on the ground all night to sober up.
You don't even look at what you have, how dare you miss him, Nan Jingmu?
Even if the Nan family were defeated, it would not be the turn of such a young man to bully him.
Nan Jingmu was angry and her steps were a little faster.
Su Qiruo, who was lying on the bed, could no longer move except for struggling to get up and go to the latrine.
Her injury didn't seem to be serious. It took all her strength to push herself out in the morning.
Looking at the sky outside, Su Qiruo began to worry about Nan Jingmu again.
I don't know if it would be okay for him to go to the town alone. She should have stopped him at that time, and at the worst she could have spent more money to ask people in the village to help with the errands.
I don't know if it was because of her original identity, but Su Qiruo always felt guilty towards Nan Jingmu, and she wanted to protect him and make up for him.
This time, she will definitely not let him lose again.
There is never a chance to come back in life. Since God gave her Su Qiruo, she should not waste it in vain.
Saving the poor young husband was Su Qiruo's lifelong pursuit.
After rearranging the memories in her mind and the contents of the books she had read before, Su Qiruo probably had an understanding of herself now.
The former was cold and not enthusiastic emotionally. Except for being very loyal to the princess, he didn't care much about other things.
It's just that the affairs of the Nan family are full of doubts. The concubine sent her to investigate secretly, but she didn't expect that she would be plotted by others.
"Dongfang Yan, if you insist on becoming an enemy of my Su family, then I will accompany you to the end."
