Chapter 887: Just Continue Accepting Orders as Usual

h spring water, shook it dry, then found a bowl to serve as a mortar and pestle to extract its juice.Zong Yu had already sent his mother back to the room and put her to bed. Mu Yun He coughed incessan...As Zong Yu was riding his horse, he suddenly sneezed heavily, and then sneezed again and again, non-stop.

He had to tighten the reins to stop his horse.

Zhao Yun worriedly asked, "Ziyu, you wouldn't have caught a cold, would you"

Over these past few days, Zongyu has been traveling with all his might, sleeping only two hours each day. He's already changed horses three times, all of them top-quality steeds.

He hurried so much that even his ironclad body couldn't take it anymore. Getting sick was expected.

Zhao Yun felt he was falling behind.

Zong Yu rode off his horse and used cold water to splash his face, and miraculously, the sneezing stopped.

"I'm fine, I'm not sick."

This nearly four years of military life, he had experienced all the hardships and fatigue imaginable. His physical condition was amazingly robust, envious to every soldier in the camp.

No matter how extreme or harsh the environment, Zongyu has never been sick.

Once the army's food, water and supplies were all in short supply. Everyone could only eat unpalatable food and drink unclean water. They had to make do by drinking mud water and foraging for whatever they could find in the forest to eat.

Many soldiers therefore suffered from food poisoning and became ill.

Just Zongyu, from beginning to end, nothing happened. Don't even mention getting sick; he practically had inexhaustible energy every day.

Zhao Yun watched him climb back onto his horse, tighten the reins, and prepare to continue on his journey. Envy filled him as he quickly called out.

"Brother Yu, I'm really done for."

"Even if you can endure it, this horse can't."

"This horse has been running with you for three days straight, look there are bloodshot eyes!"

Zhao Yun pretended to exaggerate, but Zong Yu's horse under him was indeed very tired, which he didn't lie about.

"Your horse wasn't just recently replaced, give me your horse."

"Find a station to rest for the night and regain your strength before catching up."

Having said that, he didn't wait for Zhao Yun to agree and had already switched two packs of belongings from his horse's back. Mounting his own steed, he charged out again.

Whenever Zongyu thought of Gu Feng's words, his heart would race and he even felt anxious.

This anxiety kept him from sleeping, all he wanted was to hurry on his way, to go back and see Fang Jinshu as soon as possible.

Why so anxious, only she can understand when she sees me.

Zhao Yun helplessly watched his master run away, he could only resignedly find a relay station to change horses. Master Gu entrusted him to look after General Zong well; Brother Yu's military achievements were hard-won, earned through countless near-death experiences and sweat.

He had to watch over General Zong until he smoothly received the imperial bestowment.

After changing his horse, Zhao Yun immediately mounted and pursued along the official road.

Fang Jinshu's Jinshu Mountain Villa was quite a sensation in the capital. It had only been modestly known before, but after the Hundred Vegetable Feast, it became a household name throughout the city.

The number of orders on the platform has exploded.

All kinds of fruits, vegetables, snacks, and even the livestock raised in the courtyard, before Fang Jinshi had a chance to feed them with the spiritual spring water for long, people were already willing to pay top dollar to buy them.

All thoughts of Zhong Pingchuan were tossed aside amidst the flurry of orders. Faced with a mountain of work, who had time to consider which man she should choose as her husband

Anyway, her mother-in-law doesn't care about him anymore.

Now everyone in the city knows his true colors as a scumbag.

Logically speaking, with such a big scandal, the emperor shouldn't have heard nothing. Even if abandoning his wife for another woman wasn't a serious crime, the court shouldn't have protected Zong Pingchuan so much without any punishment.

To this day, there has been no news.

After a busy day, Mu brought the cooked food to the dining hall with Jin Yu. She saw her daughter-in-law and children all lying on the table, each with exhaustion on their faces.

When everyone is tired, they don't feel like talking.

She walked forward with concern, "Jinxiu, did you really post the recruitment notice How come no one has come to apply for a job at the manor yet"

"No, I'll take another look. Or maybe I'll go to the village myself and talk to them, see if they'll come and work."

Mu was in a hurry. If she couldn't hire more people, her daughter-in-law and grandchildren, including several young boys and girls, would be exhausted.

She was about to put down her meal and leave when Fang Jinshu called out to her, weak with anger.

"Mother, please don't go."

"It's normal that we can't recruit people, after all, the business is so good, we must have offended a lot of people."

“How could they let us get recruited so easily”

Mu returned again, "What are we going to do"

"I can't let you keep exhausting yourselves like this every day. People get sick from exhaustion."

"You should stop taking orders for two days, right"

To give money to someone who comes to your door wouldn't that be just letting them wait around to make a fool of themselves

"No!"

Fang Jinxiu perked up and stood. "Just keep accepting orders as usual."

"If I can't find anyone to do the work, am I not allowed to hire someone"n't help but be stunned.He actually went to do some real work."Oh my, son! This is what you got from that deadbeat Zong Yu"Zongping Kang chuckled softly, "Not at all.""This Zongyang, this ingrate who...
