Chapter 652: Lending a Flower to Buddha, Doing Good Deeds

. She should be successful, so she patiently waited for him to speak up.After a while, Zongyu was defeated.“I, I’m afraid you’ll be afraid of me.”Fang Jinshu was taken aback. She had thought of ten th...The man on the bed also reacted quickly. Zong Yu looked at him with only vigilance and strangeness in his eyes. If he was really that person, he wouldn't fail to recognize him.

It was just too similar.

"I am Fu Ming, a resident of the capital city. According to my bodyguard, it was you two who saved me. I am deeply grateful."

"I wonder if the two of you have any requests for compensation"

"A debt of life must be repaid. You can ask for anything, as long as it is within my power, I will do my best to satisfy you."

This Fu Ming, looking at his age, is quite outspoken.

This request is not too big nor too small, and we will do our best to fulfill it.

Fang Jinshi smiled and didn't take Fu Ming's words seriously.

"Mister Fu, please don't be so polite. Saving you was simply a transaction between me and Guard Shen."

I hired him as my bodyguard for a few days to help me rescue people. After the mission was complete, I would also help him rescue you. This deal is fair and has already been completed.

"There's no need for further reward, and we may not meet again in the future."

Since Fu Ming and Shen Li are people from the capital, the probability of meeting them again in the future is really minuscule.

Fang Jinxiu's coming over was just a formality, a way to save Shen Li face.

If Fu Ming knew that he would only see Fang Jinshu because of his subordinate's face, he definitely wouldn't be smiling so happily right now.

"Once young master Ben spoke, his words were unretractible."

“The deal you made with Shen the Guard is your own business. Does this young master’s life only amount to a single transaction”

Hey, young master, this is the first time I've seen someone try to force something good into someone else's hands.

Fang Jinshu now wasn't very interested in Fu Ming's status as a young master. There were so many prominent figures in the capital, he must just be some wealthy family's spoiled brat.

This young master's air, simply unmatched.

They weren't bothered to continue arguing with the young master. Fine, since he was so eager to give her favors, then she might as well accept them.

Her big bucket of spring water and medicinal herbs was definitely worth the trip.

"Since Young Master Fu has said so, if I refuse again it would be me not knowing good from bad."

After Fang Jinxiu showed her intelligence, Fu Ming's eyes flashed a hint of disdain.

When she refused him, he still had a certain amount of respect for her, being neither humble nor arrogant, neither greedy nor fawning.

Well, that's it then.

Just now that righteous and stern refusal, must also be just for show.

Fu Mingxin thought, it's good that she made a request, it's also a way to understand this life-saving grace.

"What do you two desire Gold, silver, jewels, or power and status"

Fang Jinshi was speechless for a moment. Fine jewelry and riches, she could understand, but power and status... Was that something she could just have if she wanted it

This kid thinks he's the emperor.

She maintained her usual smile and shook her head, "No thanks."

"How long has Young Master Fu been in Xizhou"

Fu Ming's face changed slightly, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

"It's only been a couple of months, why are you asking about this"

Fang Jinshu just pretended not to see the changes in his expression. As long as he didn't have ill intentions towards them, who would be curious about his identity.

"The drought in Xizhou has been ongoing, and the people are suffering greatly."

If Young Master Fu has the ability, he should send some grain to Xizhou to relieve the suffering of the people here.

"At least this winter will have fewer souls freezing and starving to death."

Fu Ming was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Fang Jinxiu's request wasn't for herself at all.

"You, you're serious about this"

Fang Jinshu nodded. Why couldn't she be serious

Think about it carefully, she could make medicine and practice medicine, holding a spring in her hand and a huge mountain at her disposal. She was about to take her husband back home to live in seclusion.

She doesn't lack food and drink, nor is she greedy for power or status. She can make money herself.

Besides the few villages I passed by a few days ago, the image of those villagers, thin and emaciated, on the verge of death, keeps haunting me.

Anyway, this request was given for free, so she might as well do it and consider it a good deed.

But this move had a great shock on Fu Ming.

He agreed on the spot, but he never fully believed that Fang Jinshu wanted so much grain for the people. He didn't believe she had no selfish motives at all.

So, he proposed to stay in the city for two more days.

He wanted to see with his own eyes that the food had been delivered to the people of Luoshui City, only then would he truly believe her.ays filled with laughter and chatter.Fu Shangyuan was somewhat surprised by the sight.In aristocratic families in Beijing, daughters have always been educated to be virtuous and graceful.
