Chapter 1
But it was only in the morning, and the sky was as gray as in the dark of winter.Zhou Fengluan lifted the curtain on the door of the room and walked out, muttering to the gray sky: "It seems to be raining, and there will be no snow in September." The autumn wind blows and there are no clouds flying, only autumn leaves and wild dust all over the sky.

The girl Guizhi came from behind, holding a blue embroidered cloak with twigs in her hand, and said thoughtfully and caringly: "Girl put this on, and go out immediately when you see the master." Guizhi's eyes were full of pity, the girl was only 15 years old, To share the worries for the master.Changed to someone else's house, 15 years old is still the age when meeting strangers in the boudoir is shy.

Putting on this dress, Feng Luan walked down the steps, without turning around, she said to Gui Zhi and Lan Zhi who were accompanying her, "Wait for me at your door, I'll go to Guo's house after seeing my father."

Don't want Fengluan accompanied by a girl, go to father Zhou's room alone.The smell of osmanthus in the nose is the osmanthus flowers blooming on the side of the road, and the sweet scent of osmanthus flowers fills my bosom.It is this sweet fragrance that makes Feng Luan summon up the courage to live life from time to time after his father is injured.Since God has arranged it like this, we have to face it, and we have to work hard to be worthy of ourselves and our family.

After passing the small pavilion and crossing the stone path, turn around and you will be outside the room of your father, Mr. Zhou.The two girls in plain clothes opened the door curtain all the way, and then they replied to the room: "Young lady is here."

Mr. Zhou, Shi Yuan, was in the room full of embarrassment, and it was even more painful to hear his daughter coming.Standing beside him is his wife, Gu Shi, who understands her husband's feelings, and tried to persuade Master Zhou: "Master, rest assured that he is recovering from his injuries. Although Feng'er is a girl, she has gone out with the master several times. You can share the worries of the master. Master should like it."

Facing the injury on his leg, Master Zhou was about to cry: "I was injured, and lost my goods and money. The damn Mao family, when they heard that I owed a lot of debts, they divorced Feng'er." .If the Mao family knows that Feng'er will show up to raise money, it will be even more important to give them the truth."

Feng Luan, who walked to the door, heard his father's murmur and resentment, and hurried in to persuade him: "Father, don't think too much, they have also withdrawn from the marriage. How come I have nothing to do with the Mao family in the future, why are you laughing for no reason!"

When his daughter came to persuade him with reason, Master Zhou was relieved and patted his injured leg: "It is my father who is useless. He doesn't want to sail on the water. He was injured when he encountered robbers. Alas, no one in the family can come forward. I can only wrong you. Alas .”

"Father." Feng Luan sat down in front of the bed, smiled comfortingly at her worried mother, and then opened her smiling face to Master Zhou: "Why do you lament so much when you are sick, in life, there are pains and separations. Although I lost my money, my father is still with me and my mother. We will definitely overcome this difficulty."

Facing his daughter's resolute face, Master Zhou cheered up and said, "Okay! I have Feng'er, which is better than having several sons. When I explain to you one by one, you go The Guo family borrowed money. It doesn’t matter whether you can borrow money or not, there is always a reason for God to give me this disaster.”

"Daughter must borrow it." Feng Luan smiled at her father: "Father, please tell me."

Mr. Zhou was originally lying on the bed halfway. He held his wife's hand and sat upright. He whispered to his daughter: "When I was young, I followed the old man of the Guo family when I first started trading. Later, when I wanted to run away by myself, when I left him Put it on the table and ask the people in the past to thank him before I left. I remember saying goodbye at that time. He said that you can find him if you have something to do in the future. Although Mr. Guo is old now, his wife Mrs. Guo knows what he said back then. Go ask She helped us get through this hurdle, and we will return the principal and interest of the money in the future."

Having said that, he took out a small box wrapped in layers of brocade forging from under the pillow: "This is my seal, they are willing to borrow money, you just press this seal."

Taking the seal box, Feng Luan carefully put it in his arms.Master Zhou explained again, please be polite and so on.Feng Luan heard one by one, stood respectfully in front of the bed and raised her eyebrows: "Father, Mother, I'm going now."

Seeing the figure of his daughter going out, Master Zhou wanted to beat his leg again: "It's really disappointing, but if I can move around, I won't let Feng'er go."

Gu's finally shed tears, grabbed Master Zhou's hand and begged him: "You have to take good care of your injury so that Feng'er won't worry. Poor child, since you came back from injury, you haven't had a good meal yet."

These words made Master Zhou calm down slowly, from the madness just now to sluggishness.He stared blankly at the ground for a long time, as if he just woke up from a daze.Before the bed, his wife's eyes were full of tears, and Master Zhou felt ashamed again: "Don't worry, I will... have to cheer up in the future."

With tears in her eyes, Gu smiled: "Master, you are right if you think so!" The husband and wife stretched out their hands to each other and slowly held each other.People in business are always at risk.This time the amount of money owed was not small, but at this time the husband and wife looked at each other, and saw comfort and encouragement in each other's eyes.

Zhou Fengluan, who walked out, sat on a small sedan chair outside the gate, and followed his father's instructions to go to Guo's house in Yinju Hutong.Zhou's family is a small businessman who sells goods, but Guo's family is not a small merchant in this city.The Guo family merchants have many branches in the province, and the eldest son, Guo Pu, has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has been an official to the lower rank of the fifth rank, General Ningyuan.It's just a pity that this General Guo was seriously injured on the battlefield at the beginning of the year. He was sent home to recuperate three months ago.

Zhou Fengluan, who was thinking about the Guo family's affairs one by one in the sedan chair, wanted to see Mrs. Guo, the biological mother of the eldest son Guo Pu, and the daughter-in-law of Guo's parents who are now in power.

Zhou Fengluan, who was thinking of Guo Pu, was sitting in a sedan chair with a wooden box on her lap.The box was seven or eight inches long and only about three inches wide. In order to borrow money smoothly, Zhou Fengluan used her father behind her back as a piece of jewelry for her wedding box, and asked her family to buy a branch of ginseng.Intersecting with the old man of the Guo family was a matter of many years ago.Besides, when you ask for help, you can't always come to the door with plain hands.Fortunately, there is a patient in his family, so he is ready to send anything.

This visit made an appointment in advance, with Mr. Zhou's old family, Zhou Zhong, who went to the Guo family's gate in the sky.Because the amount of money borrowed was not small, it was always inappropriate to ask family members to pick it up, so they made an appointment, and Zhou Fengluan came to the door to talk in person.For Zhou Fengluan, who lives like years, why is it today, but this is the day Mrs. Guo said.

The sedan chair stopped in front of Guo's house. One of the two maids raised the curtain of the sedan chair, and the other helped the girl out.Only then did Zhou Fengluan see that there were many cars and sedan chairs in front of Guo's house.Zhou Fengluan asked Zhou Zhong who was following behind the sedan chair: "What's going on in the Guo family today, it's not convenient to talk about things because there are so many guests here."

Zhou Zhong was also puzzled, and said to the girl: "I don't have any leisure these days, and I don't know about this matter. According to me, the girl is here too, so it's better to go in."

Zhou Fengluan also meant the same thing, his father couldn't rest assured to recuperate at home, just because of his creditors.Feng Luan made up her mind and asked Zhou Zhong to speak at the door. Today, Mrs. Zhou really has a guest, and she will have to wait until she is free.You can't go away disappointed, let your father worry.
