Chapter 199 Returning like an arrow
"Young Master, Qi Canglan has already taken care of the food issue."
"Where did he buy the food?"
"I heard it was from the young lady in Mr. Fang's house."
"is her……"
"Young Master, now that the food problem has been solved, are you heading south now?"
"Let's set off tomorrow."
At the Fang Mansion, Fang Wenhai returned safely. Although he looked a little haggard, not a single hair had fallen out of his body.
Even so, Mrs. Fang couldn't help but cry when she saw her husband Ping An walk into the house.
"Madam, I'm sorry to have worried you." Mrs. Fang wiped away her tears with a smile, and immediately ordered the servants to prepare the bath water, so that Fang Wenhai could use the mugwort water to wash away the bad luck.
At night, the wealthy Fang Wenhai took out another 12,000 taels of silver to thank Xu Ning and others.
However, the most shocked person was not Xu Ning and others, but Qi Canglan.
It turned out that Fang Wenhai actually planned to pass on all the family business to him.
What was even more shocking was that Qi Canglan refused.
Fang Wenhai seemed to have known that Qi Canglan would refuse. "Xiao Lan, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Now that you have been kicked out of the Qi family, it is the time to have support. Although the Fang family is a merchant, they also have a say."
Especially since Fang Wenhai was able to get away with it this time, those merchants who wanted to do something secretly will think twice.
"Uncle Fang, thank you." Qi Canglan's eyes were full of gratitude. He did not hide it from Fang Wenhai and his wife. "Uncle Fang, Aunt Su, don't worry about me. My business masters are of noble status. They can't embarrass me."
"That's good! That's good!" Fang Wenhai's face was full of relief, but it was a pity that he didn't have the chance to have such a good seedling.
Xu Ning ate her fill of melons and vegetables, and she, who was always grateful for what she had eaten, also offered some words of comfort: "Master Fang, Master Qi is capable, and the Qi family is blind. They will regret it in the future! However, regretting is useless."
Qi Canglan is from Jiangyan, and those people in the Qi family probably don’t have the courage to do anything naughty again.
The fact that Qi Canglan was able to escape from the Qi family so quickly today must have been due to Jiang Yan’s hand in it.
"Miss Xu is right. It's a great day, let's not talk about this anymore. A'lan, eat more. Business is hard work!" Mrs. Fang picked up two pieces of food for Qi Canglan and two pieces for Xu Ning as well, insisting on not favoring one over the other.
Xu Ning thought about it, then followed suit and picked up the serving chopsticks to pick up two pieces for Xu Feng and Pei Chen.
Xu Feng, Pei Chen: ...
Liu Li ate without even raising his head, muttering in his heart that the Qi family would regret this for the rest of their lives.
"Miss Xu, are you going back to the south tomorrow? Why don't you stay for two more days?" After dinner, Xu Ning told her that she was planning to go back.
Today, Liu Li has handed over everything to Qi Canglan and left two special carrier pigeons for communication. It is said that they were given by Qi Canglan's master.
"Master Fang, you know, my sister left for something on the way. First, I have to go find her first. Second, it's very close to the Chinese New Year, and my family is worried about whether we can go back early to celebrate the New Year. But don't worry, I will come to North City to see you again when the temperature rises next spring." Ever since Old Lady Xu knew that Xu Ning and his sister had arrived in North City and sold all the grain, she began to urge them to come back three times a day.
Early this morning, a drizzle of snow began to fall in the north city. Xu Ning is a southerner who is afraid of the cold. He has been away from home for more than a month and misses his family in Xianyu Village very much.
As the weather in the North City was getting colder, Xu Ning had no plans to stay and shop any longer, because the things Mrs. Fang had stuffed into her filled several carriages.
These things were prepared by Madam Fang as soon as she returned home. Xu Ning thought that the carriage would be a little emptier when she returned, but it turned out that she was overthinking.
"Alan, if you meet Miss Xu on the road, remember to take good care of her."
