Episode 13: Cheng Shaoshang raises funds to rebuild his home
The desolate scene visible before their eyes has made everyone realize that something is wrong. The county government compound stands at the end of the long street. The white soul flag on the roof in front of the door completely confirms that the old county magistrate Cheng died in the city with his descendants. This accident caused heavy casualties to the people in the village, and there was a layer of sadness under the dark clouds. Cheng Zhi was greatly shocked after hearing the bad news, and stayed behind closed doors to remember his old friend.
Thinking about the fact that County Magistrate Cheng, in his sixtieth year, still went out of the city to take risks without hesitation, and even used the lives of his family as bait, Cheng Shaoshang felt extremely regretful. But in Sang Shunhua’s view, those who are capable in troubled times should do their part, so this is the main reason why Xiao Yuanyi followed her husband to the lonely city.
That night while staying at the hospital, Ling Buyi’s injury suddenly worsened. Emperor Wen immediately summoned the imperial doctor for treatment, treating him like his own son. After all, Emperor Wen and Ling Buyi’s uncle had known each other since childhood and had a deep relationship. Later, his uncle’s family died for the country. Emperor Wen felt guilty for this, so he simply rewarded Ling Buyi with all the glory of the Huo family. His only wish was that he would be well. Live, marry, have children, and continue the bloodline and glory of the Huo family.
However, Ling Buyi fought and killed all day long and came back injured every time, which made Emperor Wen feel even more headache. Originally, Emperor Wen was planning to marry Princess Yuchang to Ling Buyi, but Ling Buyi chose to go to war to escape the marriage. He wanted to marry the one he loved like his uncle, instead of abandoning his mother like the Marquis of Chengyang in Qin Muchu land, which led to the two falling in love. Hate half my life, otherwise I would rather be alone.
Emperor Wen knew that Ling Buyi had a stubborn temper, so he was not too harsh. He immediately came to the main hall to question the Liang brothers and unexpectedly learned about the fourth mother of the Cheng family. Liang Qiufei immediately told the whole story, saying that the personal relationship between Cheng Shaoshang and Ling Buyi was very close. Emperor Wen was very pleased when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Cheng Shaoshang about his appearance and conduct.
Now Cheng Zhi has put on plain clothes and insists on keeping vigil for the old county magistrate Cheng. At this time, servants come to report and find his daughter, but because he is too seriously injured, he may not have much time left. When Cheng Shaoshang was with his daughter, he couldn’t help but think of how his younger self once longed to be with his parents and brothers, so that he was often bullied.
Although Nannan is still young, her mind is far superior to that of her peers, and her will to survive is very strong. She gritted her teeth and endured severe pain again and again, and even when she was in a coma, she would murmur for her father and brother. Cheng Shaoshang devoted himself to taking care of his daughter, and was willing to help doctors find scarce medicinal materials, traveling between the county government and the medical house.
However, many injured patients lost hope and felt despair. Cheng Shaoshang knew that his persuasion was useless and asked them in public whether they could really value the sacrifice of the old county magistrate Cheng. Without the other party’s righteous act, I am afraid that everyone would not be alive now, and there are How could he have the embarrassment to give up his life and face his deceased relatives.
Sure enough, with Cheng Shaoshang’s enlightenment and encouragement, these people finally ignited their fighting spirit and took the initiative to receive treatment, for which Lou Yao admired them greatly. In the days that followed, Cheng Shaoshang was thinking about how to help people rebuild their homes, and Lou Yao was always by her side, caring for her in every possible way.
Since the money in the treasury was not enough to buy the required wood, Lou Yao took out all the valuable things he had on him, saying that he had enjoyed comfortable food and clothing because of the protection of his family. He never thought that he would be in embarrassment today, and he only focused on gaining a good reputation. Cheng Shaoshang was deeply inspired and immediately suggested to Cheng Zhi to hold a fundraiser in the city and reward merchants who donated more.
Cheng Zhi admired Cheng Shaoshang’s ingenious plan and quickly obtained enough funds. Cheng Shaoshang and Lou Yao began to prepare with great fanfare and rebuild according to her drawings. Nannan couldn’t help but look out the window when she heard how hot it was outside. Cheng Shaoshang listened to Nannan’s beautiful fantasy about the future and couldn’t bear to interrupt.
The Liang brothers reported the situation in Hua County to Ling Buyi, believing that it would be revived and prosperous soon. Unfortunately, Ling Buyi told him to keep a low profile, so Cheng Shaoshang still does not know that the most anonymous donations came from Ling Buyi. On the other hand, Lou Yao responded to Cheng Shaoshang’s requests, handled things properly and carefully, and was praised by Cheng Shaoshang.
Because of this, Lou Yao’s admiration for Cheng Shaoshang deepened, and others could see the love in his eyes. Cheng Shaoshang was completely unaware and casually mentioned that he would take him to see his father Cheng Shi. Unexpectedly, Lou Yao was overjoyed and was about to go out to buy food for Cheng Shaoshang. It happened that Cheng Zhi and Sang Shunhua overheard the conversation outside the door. They couldn’t help but smile at each other.
Emperor Wen saw the report submitted by Cheng Zhi and deliberately praised Cheng Shaoshang in front of Ling Buyi, praising him for his intelligence and ability. Ling Buying immediately regained his energy, not to mention that he had recovered recently and had recovered, so he took the initiative to go to Hua County to present the award on the grounds that Magistrate Cheng Cheng had died for his country.
In fact, Emperor Wen had already seen through Ling Buyi’s thoughts, but he did not reveal it and simply gave him this opportunity. When Huangfuyi heard that Cheng Zhi was in danger during his appointment, he was extremely concerned about Sang Shunhua’s safety and decided to go to Hua County in person. Yuan Shen remembered Cheng Shaoshang, so he no longer objected, but wanted to go with Huangfuyi.
