Chapter 320 Fate (Part Two)
Zhao Tong opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhao Shicheng puzzled, "Mr. Lang, the shortest time to rent a house is one season. You don't plan to go to Lin'an anymore? Madame and the third son are still waiting for you to go back."

"I believe that my mother and third brother can handle such a matter. Besides, the master said that there is an important topic to talk about. I will go back after listening to the class here."

Zhao Tong can't figure out what his master is thinking now, "Understood, I'll rent it right now."

……

In the middle of the afternoon, Li Jiaoniang came to the door to see a woman who was pregnant. When she walked out of the house, she saw a familiar face coming out of the house opposite.

Isn't this, Zhao Shicheng's bookboy?
That night, when she entered Zhao's house to ask the price, the little bookboy followed Zhao Shicheng.

The bookboy said to the two guys who were moving things, "Take it easy, this is porcelain, if you touch it, it will break, and our lord will get angry."

The two guys were carrying a wooden box and walking into the house.

"Understood, I won't touch it."

At the door of the house, there were still three boxes piled up.

The little book boy commanded, and the two assistants carried the boxes into the house one by one.

Li Jiaoniang narrowed her eyes, and lifted things in. This is... Zhao Shicheng's house?
This house is dilapidated and old, not like the house that a tasteful person like Zhao Shicheng lives in for a long time. If he bought it, he would only renovate it before moving in.

Then, it can only be rented.

She looked towards the entrance of the alley and couldn't help laughing.

The first house on the right side of the alley is Zhao Shicheng's original house and Tang Wan's current house.

Zhao Shicheng, do you intend to go to Lin'an?
Rent a house near Tang Wan's house?
In order to find out the truth, Li Jiaoniang tied the horse to the tree beside the road and walked into the small house opposite.

Zhao Tong recognized Li Jiaoniang, "Hey, aren't you a relative of Mrs. Tang? Is there something wrong?"

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I'm passing by. The lady from the opposite door's family is a little uncomfortable. I just saw her doctor. When I came out, I found that the little brother was busy here. Why, this is also Is it Officer Zhao's house?"

Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Uh, well, he lives here now."

really……

"Then I won't bother you." Li Jiaoniang smiled and nodded to Zhao Tong, walked out of the house, and left on horseback.

On the way back, Li Jiaoniang thought in her heart that she had to find a way to let Tang Wan and Zhao Shicheng meet.

But how can we meet?
Although the status of women in the Song Dynasty was higher than that of later generations, it was still not recognized by the world that men and women met in private.

Especially people with status.

Then, she has to find a middleman.

Who to look for as an intermediary?

After thinking about it, I went back to the hospital.

Luo Cheng stepped forward and helped her get off the horse, "Why are you so lost in thought? Fortunately, the horse knows its way and stopped by itself in front of the medical clinic. If it is a horse that doesn't know its way, you have to go outside the city."

"Think about a big problem." Li Jiaoniang frowned.

Looking at her wrinkled face, Luo Cheng smiled and said, "What's the problem?"

"Go into the room and talk, it's a big problem."

Luo Cheng led the horse to the backyard, and Li Jiaoniang entered the main hall.

She went to the backyard to wash her hands, Luo Cheng tied up the horse and fed the fodder.

"Brother Luo Cheng, guess who I met when I walked to the third cousin's house?"

The corners of Luo Cheng's mouth twitched, "I didn't go out with you, how would I know?"

Li Jiaoniang was always alone when she went out during the day, and when it was dark at night, Luo Cheng was worried, so he followed her.

The main reason is that during the daytime, the medical center cannot always be empty.

"I met Zhao Shicheng's book boy near the third cousin's house."

"Zhao Shicheng?" Luo Cheng didn't realize it for a while, "Who is it?"

"It's the official Zhao who sold the house to the third cousin." Li Jiaoniang said.

Luo Cheng suddenly said, "Oh, yes, I remembered, when I was looking at the house that night, someone shouted like this, what's wrong with this person?"

Li Jiaoniang said, "He is now renting a small house near the third cousin's house, and the distance between the two houses is only a hundred steps."

"So what?" Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"Don't you think they are destined?" Li Jiaoniang said with a smile.

Luo Cheng frowned, "It's all nonsense, I can't see that they are destined. Yuezhou is not big, and renting a house nearby is purely coincidental. Maybe Zhao Shicheng is only familiar with that area."

Li Jiaoniang sighed, "But I think there is a fate between them, I have to find a way to let them meet."

Luo Cheng threw all the fodder in his hand in front of the horse, clapped his hands, walked to the water tank to scoop up water to wash his hands, and said with a light smile, "So this is the problem you mentioned?"

"Isn't this a difficult problem? I've been thinking all the way, but I can't figure it out. It's so difficult." Li Jiaoniang washed her hands and gently wiped the crevices between her fingers with a cloth towel.

Tang Wan and Zhao Shicheng are both descendants of famous families, how could they meet each other casually?

The meeting was too abrupt, and they didn't dare to communicate casually between them.

"Don't worry, the third cousin has not officially reconciled yet, and you think about the rest of her life, isn't it too early? Besides, she comes from a famous family, and her family has to worry about her affairs, so it's not her turn." And you."

Li Jiao said in her heart that her family was also looking for Zhao Shicheng!
She just wanted them to meet sooner.

Let them know that there is still a person in this world who has been waiting in place.

Li Jiaoniang sighed, "Okay, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, let's go and see. If there is fate, we will meet again."

……

In order to know the progress of the matter, Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng went to Lu's house to meet Mrs. Lu after closing in the afternoon.

When Mrs. Lu found out they were coming, she only left the eldest girl Jin Xiu in the room and told everyone else to leave.

The two walked into the inner room side by side.

The old lady Lu looked tired, nestled on the reclining chair, with a soft cloth towel wrapped between her forehead, her face was also gray and pale, and her overall complexion looked bad.

"Old lady, are you okay? We came to see you." Li Jiaoniang smiled slightly, and walked forward together with Luo Cheng.

The old lady Lu saw them coming together affectionately, and she sighed, "You two are orphans, there are no elders to help you, and you have lived a hard life, but you have a peaceful and beautiful life. Sanlang and his wife don't have to worry about food." I don’t have to worry about clothes, I care about them almost every day, and if they misunderstand, I will adjust immediately, for fear that there will be a gap between them and hurt their relationship, but the result is still..."

She sighed and thumped her thigh, complaining about her incompetence.

Jin Xiu persuaded from the side, "Old lady, don't be sad, everyone has their own blessings, this may be their own good luck."

Li Jiaoniang wished for them to reconcile earlier, so she said, "Perhaps the fate between the two of them is over, and there is no harmony."

"Well, your cousin asked someone to re-test their horoscopes this morning, and found that they really didn't match." The old lady Lu sighed, "It may be true as you said, their fate is over."

Luo Cheng said at this time, "They are all young people. Let them handle this matter by themselves. Old ladies don't have to worry too much. Young people have their own way of life."

The old lady Lu said, "I think so too. I'm getting old, and after messing with my son's heart, I also want to worry about my grandson's heart. Am I asking for trouble?"

She raised her hand, motioning for Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng to sit down, "Sit down and talk."

Li Jiaoniang stepped forward and gave old lady Lu a pulse.

It was found that the old lady's pulse condition was fine, but her complexion was not good, probably because she was so angry that she didn't sleep well.

"Old lady, I showed you the pulse just now, you should pay more attention to rest."

"Why don't I want to rest? But where can I calm down?"

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "I have meditation pills here."

She took out a small porcelain bottle about an inch high from her backpack, and put it in Granny Lu's hand, "Take one pill in the morning and evening, drink it with warm wine, and calm down to help you sleep."

"You are so careful, child." The old lady Lu smiled, and when she saw Lu Cheng again, she said, "Luo Cheng, you came just in time. There is something I need you to help with."

Luo Cheng hurriedly said, "Old lady, you can just tell me."

The old lady Luo said, "I know you don't like to go to Chen's house, and I dislike Chen Ge who said a few words about you last time. But I can't walk with my body, and your third cousin is sick, so it's inconvenient for you to go. Your third cousin Sister-in-law's current situation can't go, and your cousin and aunt are upset, so they can't go either. You and Jiaoniang can go for a walk together, as for the gifts, I have already prepared them here, and the time is tomorrow."

Li Jiaoniang heard that she was going too, so she asked, "Auntie and grandma, what kind of banquet are you going to the Chen family with presents?"

The old lady Lu said, "Chen Ge's grandchildren will get married the day after tomorrow. The Lu family and the Chen family are family friends, so we can't go if we don't."

Li Jiaoniang suddenly realized that this was the case.In today's Lu family, after the matter of He Li, how can they be in the mood to go to the Chen family?
Besides, the Chen family is having a big wedding banquet, and the Lu family is having trouble reconciling.

On the contrary, she and Luo Cheng, who are harmonious and beautiful, are just right to go.

She looked at Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng frowned, but nodded, "Let's go."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Okay, brother Luo Cheng and I will go to the banquet for our cousin and grandmother."

The old lady Lu said again, "You haven't asked anyone to help you in that medical center, right? You two have left, and it's not a good idea to always close the door. Let's take away Fuwang, who is working at the gate. He is Lu You can rest assured that you have a son at home, he used to be Erlang's book boy, he learned some characters from Erlang, and looked at the prescriptions, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Send someone to her?Li Jiaoniang was so grateful, she looked at Luo Cheng, "Brother Luo Cheng?"

Luo Cheng also didn't want Li Jiaoniang to work too hard, and more people could share some things, "Well, Fuwang is really a good kid."

"Then it's settled. When you go back, take him back to the clinic. For the monthly money, ask him to come to Lu's house to collect it." Old lady Lu said.

Li Jiaoniang quickly waved her hands, "How can it be done? Cousin and grandma, let's pay the money."

"He's just here to help, what money do you pay? Don't argue, it's settled like this." Mrs. Lu didn't allow Li Jiaoniang to argue.

Li Jiaoniang is funny, this old lady Lu is just a domineering president, and now she is in love with her!

Before, I gave her a box of pearl jewelry, and now I gave her another person, so that she would be grateful.

Li Jiaoniang gave Old Madam Lu a prescription for keeping her healthy.

She has nothing worthwhile to thank, only to send a prescription.

Like other elderly people, Mrs. Lu was very happy when she got the health care prescription. When she was happy, she gave Li Jiaoniang a string of pearl bracelets.

Moreover, they also gave them each a good silk shirt.

"Wear it for the banquet tomorrow, by the way, both of you remember to dress up and wear the best jewelry." Mrs. Lu reminded.

"Understood." Li Jiaoniang smiled.

When going to a banquet at a high official's house, of course they have to dress up gorgeously.

But Luo Cheng didn't seem very happy, so he just accepted it perfunctorily.

Seeing that it was time to light the lanterns, Li Jiaoniang went to the back house to visit Tang Wan, and then she and Luo Chengcai returned to the clinic with gifts and Fuwang.

Tang Wan's complexion was the same as yesterday, calm and calm, without any sad expression, which made Li Jiaoniang very relieved.

Fuwang was very happy to learn that he was working as a buddy for Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng.

Because, when he was guarding the Lu family, Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng either gave him delicious food or rewarded him with money. Now that they work as errands with them, it is natural that delicious food is indispensable, and they can also learn medical skills.

Tomorrow morning, I have to go to the banquet, Li Jiaoniang told Fuwang something about the hospital.

"You just need to be responsible for the reception. If someone comes to see a doctor, you tell them that we have gone to a banquet and will be back in the evening. If there is no delay in the emergency department, tell them to go to another house. If it is chronic, write a note and write down the address. I'll go check it out tonight."

Fuwang, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, was very clever, and immediately understood, "Don't worry, Mrs. Biao, I have written everything down."

……

By the second day.

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng dressed up, and after explaining the matter to Fuwang, they took a gift and went to Chen's house in a carriage.

The entrance of the Chen family's mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and guests came in an endless stream, making it very lively.

As soon as Li Jiaoniang got off the carriage, she saw a familiar person chatting with the steward of the Chen residence.

She was surprised, Zhao Shicheng?
The steward of the Chen family saluted and greeted him very respectfully. After the two chatted and laughed a few words, the steward beckoned a servant and led Zhao Shicheng into the Chen residence.

Li Jiaoniang was overjoyed, today's opportunity is really great, let Zhao Shicheng and Luo Cheng get to know each other first, and then introduce to Tang Wan.
