The shopkeeper couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, this painting should be a good conversation, he couldn't bear to cut the flesh, at least four hundred taels could buy it, but this woman didn't mean to bargain with him, at first glance it was a big family who didn't pay much attention to money, and couldn't help but admire and be grateful in his heart, and quickly bowed to the end and said: "Thank you, girl! But I don't know if the girl can paint another calligraphy and painting in addition to this painting? It's best not to have an inscription." The decay must be acquired at a high price. ”

"No, I'm just in a hurry for money, so I'm copying this painting and selling it to you, otherwise I wouldn't have done this kind of thing. - Hurry up and get the money!"

The shopkeeper Bi hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly called the account room to take out three hundred taels of silver, wrapped it in a brocade box, and personally held it and sent it to the woman.

The woman didn't touch the silver, turned to Yang Xianmao and said: "Gongzi and others saved my life, and I have no long things, so I sell paintings to raise money, and I have the right to thank you." Please smile. ”

Yang Xianmao hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no need, as I said just now, I don't need to charge any money, I will treat you for free." Besides, the medicine fee is not so much, even if Doctor Han goes to the clinic, it is only five taels of silver. As for our Rejuvenation Hall, if we can collect one or two pieces of silver, it is already up to the sky, how can we use it so much. ”

The woman said lightly: "My Wen Xin's life is worth three hundred taels of silver." ”

Hearing her say this, Yang Xianmao knew that she really sent so much money to herself, hehe smiled, and thought to herself, this woman's painting can be sold for three hundred taels, which is much faster than making money by treating people by herself. This woman is really a peerless student! At the moment, she was amazed in her heart, looked back at the Arhat picture on the table, and said, "The girl's name is Wen Xin, right?"

The woman nodded.

"Well, although I don't understand painting, this Arhat picture painted by Miss Wenxin is really no different from the real thing. ”

"Oh, have you seen the original Arhat diagram of Guan Xiu?"

"Well, when I was an apprentice in the Imperial Hospital in the capital, I went to the palace with the imperial doctor to treat people once, and it was hung in the mother's bedroom, and the form of the arhat on the painting was exactly the same as the girl's painting. ”

Wen Xin glanced at him in surprise and asked, "Gongzi used to be an apprentice in Wuyue Imperial Palace Hospital before?"

"Yes, ten years before and after, after the emperor surrendered and dismissed everyone in the palace, I returned to my hometown. ”

Wen Xin was stunned, looking at the Luohan picture on the table, and after a long while, she said to the shopkeeper: "If someone asks about the origin of this painting, please keep it confidential and don't reveal a word." ”

"Okay, don't worry, this girl, we will keep it a secret for our customers. ”

"Thank you!"

Wen Xin turned around and walked out of the calligraphy and painting shop. Yang Xianmao and Hongsheng'er followed behind, and after walking forward for a while, Wen Xin stopped and said to Yang Xianmao: "I want to live in your pharmacy for a few more days, I wonder if the son is willing to take him in?"

Yang Xianmao said with a smile: "What's not to do, a capable person like you can stay with me for a lifetime, you can make so much money by painting casually, it's amazing." Besides, you have a big bag of silver, even if you live in my house for ten or eight years, it is more than enough!"

Wen Xin blessed her and said, "Wen Xin bows to Gongzi for his affection. ”

Yang Xianmao hurriedly said: "You're welcome, it's my honor that a talented person like a girl can come to live in our pharmacy." ”

"However, it was the first time in my life that I could exchange my paintings for money, and I would not paint for money again. Please understand this. ”

When Yang Xianmao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, thinking that this Wenxin had such good calligraphy and painting skills, and he didn't rely on it for a living. But it's easy to understand when you think about it, but all those who write and ink are arrogant by nature, and they can give calligraphy and paintings to others, but it is always very shameful to sell them for money, and Wen Xin would never do this if it wasn't for repaying her life-saving grace.

Therefore, Yang Xianmao smiled and said, "I can understand, don't worry, girl." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Xianmao suddenly remembered that Wen Xin saw that they were reluctant to move chopsticks for breakfast in the morning, so she said: "It's just that the conditions of my family are definitely not as good as your previous days." Only what we eat and what you eat. Maybe we can't give you a single meal, or give you better accommodation, I wonder if you'd like to?"

Wen Xin nodded, seemed to have been mentally prepared, and said: "I can eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, as well as wheat bran rice and pickled radish, you don't have to worry, I won't eat this morning, just because I decided to leave and have no appetite." In the future, of course, I will eat whatever you eat when I live in your house, and I don't have to deliberately prepare meals for me, as for the accommodation, as long as it is clean. These days, I try to get myself used to this life as much as possible, because I will live this life in the future......"

Hearing Wen Xin's tone, it darkened. Somehow, Yang Xianmao felt a pity in her heart, and she didn't know what kind of changes she had experienced that would make her have such a big change.

Yang Xianmao had the heart to ask her about the past, and wanted to ask her what happened that day, but seeing the faint sorrow between her eyebrows, Yang Xianmao swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, it was always too cruel to tear open the wound, so it was better not to ask. She was reluctant to say that she didn't need to explore, and that she shouldn't satisfy her curiosity with other people's painful memories.

With that, they returned to the pharmacy.

Yang Mingde and his wife thought that Wen Xin had left, and they were a little surprised to see them back. Yang Xianmao took out a large bag of money, told the story, and said Wen Xin's request, Yang Mingde and Zhang of course agreed.

It's just that the room arrangement is a little troublesome, and there is only one empty room at the moment, as a warehouse for medicinal materials, if it is vacated, there will be no place for medicinal materials.

was discussing what to do, but Wen Xin walked straight to the door of the medicinal herb shop's warehouse, glanced at it, and said, "Put the medicinal herbs aside and make a place for the bed and table, don't worry." ”

It has to be like this, fortunately, the room in the medicinal materials warehouse is relatively large, and if the medicinal materials are put together and organized, it can still free up a more spacious space, not only to put down a bed, but also to put down tables, chairs and benches or something. It's just embarrassing to let the girl live in the warehouse. But there is no way, because Yang Xianmao's room has an operating table, and there are two people living in Hongsheng'er and Yang Xianmao, if they change to the medicinal material warehouse, they will not be able to live.

The tables, chairs and benches were all cheap and sturdy, one of which was a large desk for painting, and a full set of pen, ink, paper, inkstone and painting paints. The bedding on the bed is all new.

Wen Xin said to Yang Xianmao again: "I still want a yaoqin, it doesn't need to be too good, it's okay to be ordinary." ”

Yang Xianmao asked Hongsheng'er to take the money to buy it, and there was a special Yaoqin stand.

These things were placed in, and the medicinal herb shop was crowded, but Wen Xin did not look unhappy in the slightest. She seems to have learned to be at ease with what comes her way.

Since then, when she has nothing to do, Wen Xin either paints and writes, or strokes the piano, and rarely goes out, and the calligraphy and paintings she draws are never kept, and after painting, she tears them up and takes them to the kitchen to burn. Yang Xianmao was very distressed when he saw it, because many of the paintings painted by Wen Xin were the same as the Guanxiu Arhat who was sold to the shopkeeper Bi at a high price last time, and a pair was three hundred taels of silver. It's a lot of money, but she doesn't hesitate to put it in the fire and burn it. Yang Xianmao couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

Wen Xin Yaoqin's piano skills are also very clever, which makes people feel refreshed. When the patient came to the clinic and heard the sound of the piano, his original anxious and irritable mood was quickly relieved, and even the patients who were suffering from the pain seemed to be reduced and their mood was much brighter after hearing the sound of the piano.

Yang Xianmao gave one hundred and fifty taels of the three hundred taels of silver to Ruan Caiyun and her sister-in-law, if it weren't for the two of them finding Wen Xin who had been poisoned in time and sending her to the hospital in time, Wen Xin would not have survived. He kept fifty taels for himself and gave the remaining one hundred taels to Han Xue'e, she didn't contribute very much, but the old ginseng was worth a lot of money, and she prescribed a prescription for detoxification.

Han Xue'e began to insist that she didn't want to, and after Yang Xianmao repeatedly asked, she accepted it and gave it to Ruan Caiyun. Ruan Caiyun had no choice but to accept it. Although she was half dead from exhaustion that day, she still felt happy in her heart with two hundred and fifty taels of silver.

With these two hundred and fifty taels of silver, after discussing with her brother and sister-in-law, she also bought a few acres of thin fields to farm. After all, fishing depends on God's face, and it is not possible to ensure the harvest in drought and flood. The fields are much more stable and more profitable than fishing, so the family is very happy.

The days went on like this.

………………

Three years of Taiping rejuvenation, summer solstice.

In the summer, the rain is very abundant, and there is often a faint sound of thunder, rolling over the sky of Xuanzhou City, and the crying child hears the thunder and quickly hides in the mother's arms.

At noon on such a rainy summer day, the prefect of Xuanzhou, with the prefect of the county and dozens of bureaucrats, braved the rain to usher in the officials sent by the Great Song Dynasty to replace the current prefect in the Shili Changhall.

The prefect of Xuanzhou sent by the Great Song Dynasty, named Wei Wende, was born white and fat, very rich, with three chins, squinting a pair of fat eyes, sitting in the official sedan chair, full of ambition.

After the surrender of Wu Yueguo, the Great Song Dynasty did not send officials to replace the original officials of Wu Yueguo for a period of time. Because the emperor had his plan, he wanted to find out the situation, so he sent Lu Duan to Wuyue Weifu for a private visit to secretly check the performance of officials in various places to find out whether the officials could be reused, or whether they could continue to be retained.

When the information from various channels was fed back to the ears of the Great Song Emperor, he began to appoint officials according to the situation, replacing the officials of the original Wu Yue State in a planned way, and transferring these officials to the capital for monitoring, or rotating them to other remote prefectures and counties as officials.

And the prefect of Xuanzhou was one of the officials who the Great Song Emperor wanted to rotate, and he appointed this Wei Wende to replace him.
