As soon as Squire Zhao left, the people waiting for the treatment were all kinds of discussions, and they didn't pay attention to it, and they were busy until the evening, when they finished the pulse diagnosis and acupuncture of the patients in the room.

At the end of this day, he was a little tired, thinking that his father was like this every day, but he didn't see a tired look, and his internal strength was much deeper than his own.

In the evening, it was a table of roe deer meat, goat meat, and all kinds of mountain mushrooms, and wine made from various wild fruits and mountain spring water in the mountains, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, eating a roe deer leg and a large piece of goat meat steak, I felt that my energy was restored.

"Brother, you have enough five taels of silver here, let's exchange it for silver for you tomorrow." Xiao Nier held the bamboo tube he collected money from and said with a smile.

Besides, a bamboo tube was placed on the table, and the consultation fee and acupuncture fee were all placed here, and he agreed with the Xiao family that he would eat and live here to treat people, and half of the money he earned would be given to the Xiao family, regardless of how much.

Xiao Wanli resolutely refused, saying that this house was idle, and the daily food was almost given by people nearby, so where could he still receive his money. Besides, he was resolute, if he didn't, he would go out and rent another house by himself, and Xiao Wanli agreed.

Xiao Wanli saw it, and although he had superb medical skills, he didn't rely on this to eat, he must have encountered something, lost his silver luggage, and had to treat people here as a last resort to make money, and it was estimated that he should leave after making enough entanglement.

Besides, she practiced medicine every day, and in the evening, Xiao Nier divided the copper plate she received into two parts, one of which was saved for her. Most of the people who came to see the doctor were poor, it would be good to be able to take out the copper plate, there was very little silver, only people like Squire Zhao had a lot of silver at home. After all, it is a small mountain town, and it is not as prosperous as the city.

Moreover, it has only been seven days here, but he has already earned almost ten taels of silver, not counting those roe deer, wild goats, pheasants, wild ducks, and all kinds of mountain treasures, if these are taken outside, they are several times more than ten taels of silver.

As for the knife he slaughtered Squire Zhao, he was a little ruthless, what was his feeling for five hundred taels of silver? Besides, you can buy two houses in Suzhou. Even in Nanjing, you can buy a good house. Of course, like the mansion of Zhou Wenbin's family, it is not a matter of a few hundred taels or thousands of taels of silver, and there is no one who can get down without five or six hundred thousand taels of silver, and only the imperial merchants and salt merchants have such financial resources.

A family like the Xiao family does not spend more than fifty taels of silver per year, and the average family can get by with twenty taels of silver.

In "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Yu, the boss of Jiafu, was angry with Jia's mother because he was a concubine, and bought a stunning girl outside to put in the house, which cost 500 taels of silver, which is a high price.

According to the situation of Squire Zhao's family, the people in the town estimated that all his belongings were only about 20,000 taels of silver, and he was already the richest man in a town.

According to the conversion of modern currency value, one or two silver is worth about 500 yuan, because of the different references, there are many ways to convert, and there are many kinds of currency value calculated, but considering the Ming and Qing dynasties, there is always a silver shortage, and the price of silver is much higher than that of modern society, and the purchasing power is higher.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, you can buy two sets of houses for 500 taels of silver, but in modern society, not to mention 250,000 yuan, even 2.5 million yuan may not be able to buy a set, so at 500 yuan per tael of silver, it is only low and not high.

Calculate it this way, obediently, besides, the knife of Squire Zhao is ruthless enough. 250,000 yuan!

It costs 250,000 yuan for acupuncture and moxibustion, which is indeed more, and this also has to consider that the ancients did not have a medical insurance system, and the money for treatment had to be paid out of their own pockets, and there was no place to reimburse. Don't say that you are a squire, you are a prime minister and a scholar, and you have to spend your own money to treat you when you are sick, and the household department will not write off a copper plate for you.

However, this is also a matter of reproach.

The first is that Squire Zhao's reputation is too bad, and there are almost no good people in the whole town who say good things about him. Living a simple and self-disciplined life is certainly a virtue, but always being frugal and stingy with others can only be said to be detrimental. So besides, if you get this opportunity, you won't let it go, and it is inevitable to kill it.

Second, besides, he happened to taste the taste of a penny suffocating the hero, thinking that he had just come out of the mountains, hungry, and penniless, if it weren't for the Xiao family's good eyes and entertaining him for a meal, I am afraid that he would really starve, or he could only go into the mountains to find some wild fruits and wild cassava to satisfy his hunger.

Eat a trench to grow a wisdom, walk in the rivers and lakes, you must have enough silver. And I understood this truth overnight.

"Five hundred taels of silver? If five hundred taels of silver are exchanged for copper coins, I am afraid that this room will not be filled? Xiao Nier thought about the five hundred taels of silver, and where to put it when she brought it. She had seen silver, but she had never seen five hundred taels of silver piled together.

"Silly Nizi, everyone is replacing copper plates with silver, how can there be a sealed silver replaced with copper plates." Xiao Wanli said with a smile.

"Sealed silver? How much is a one? Xiao Nier asked.

"Of course, it's fifty taels, five taels of silver is an ingot, and ten ingots is one. I have also seen ingots of fifty taels of silver and an ingot, which is called big silver or silver mother, but it is too few to see. Xiao Wanli explained.

Don't say Xiao Nier, besides, I haven't seen what the sealed silver looks like, it's not that there is no one at home, but he doesn't care about the silver at all, and he is with Zhou Wenbin and them on weekdays, and no one has ever used the silver, even if they eat wine and tea, they have their families to settle the bill, and they just leave in style.

"Brother, then you earned five hundred taels of silver this time, which is enough to marry me a sister-in-law." Xiao Nier laughed.

"Nonsense, my little brother is a miracle doctor at such a young age, he must be a big miracle doctor, and the family is not a mountain of silver. Is it reasonable to marry a couple of taels of silver? Xiao Wanli said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

Besides, he smiled awkwardly, he really didn't know how much silver there was at home, according to his estimates, it was similar to Squire Zhao's belongings, after all, there were too many accounts on credit, and Zhong would never be like him, and he would slaughter something that was not pleasing to the eye. Therefore, although there is no shortage of silver at home, there is not much to save.

"The little brother is eighteen years old, he must be married at home, right?" Xiao Wanli asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"I'm married, just wait for me to go back from my study tour and get married." Besides, when he mentioned it, he suddenly thought of the pomegranate, and his heart suddenly hurt like a needle, so he blurted out and made up his mind to go back not only to ask for a kiss, but also to get married, and to be with the pomegranate as soon as possible. If you can't get married, you will elope, and it is not bad to go to this town with Pomegranate to live an idle life.

"My sister-in-law must be very beautiful, otherwise how can my brother look at it." Xiao Nier also quipped.

"As pretty as Nil." And in response.

"That's not it, I'm as ugly as me, and I'm not qualified to be a girl for my brother." Xiao Nier's face flushed.

"Brother won't let you be a girl, let you be a sister. Good no good? ”

Besides, I really like Xiao Nier, a girl, although she is fifteen years old, she is as delicate as his sister Guo Yu, but she is not raised in the boudoir like Guo Yu, but she is busy every day, and she does more than half of the work in the family.

Xiao Wanli and Xiao Lei glanced at each other, and they were silent. Besides, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong here, he looked at Xiao Wanli, and then at Xiao Lei.

Xiao Lei said very little, but his heart was kind, and he did his best every day to cook roe deer meat and stewed lamb chops, and he was very grateful.

"Little brother, there are no outsiders here today, let's discuss with you. Of course you won't be here for long, so when you're gone, take Niel with you, that's what she wants. If it's someone else, of course we won't, but follow you, we don't worry, just let her be a maid for you. Xiao Wanli said.

"Huh? How can this work, absolutely not. And flatly refused.

The three of them all lowered their heads in an instant, and their spirits were wilted, Xiao Wanli sighed, but Xiao Nier's eyes were red and she wanted to cry.

"No, I didn't mean that, I mean that Sister Nier really wants to get out of this mountain, but she must be my sister, and I will never wronged Nier to be a girl. When I got back, I asked my father to recognize Nill as his goddaughter. Seeing the expressions of the three people, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart and added.

"Of course that's good, but it's better for you to take him as a girl." Xiao Wanli smiled bitterly.

"I don't care what I do, as long as I can always be by your side and serve you." Xiao Nier's eyes were red.

Xiao Lei nodded, his eyes a little moist. He rarely moves emotions, and is obviously reluctant to let his daughter leave him.

Xiao Wanli sighed again: "Little brother, you come with me, I'll talk to you." ”

Xiao Lei sighed and said, "It's better for me to go back to the house with Nier." ”

Xiao Nier followed her father out, walked to the door, looked back, and showed a determined look in her eyes, which made her heart jump for no reason.

"Little brother, let's also be fate." After the two walked out, Xiao Wanli said with a wry smile.

"It's fate, it's also kindness, I will never forget the grace of this meal." Besides, he replied.

"What's the kindness, you will pay back the money for a meal in the afternoon, and we still owe it to you. Let's not talk about this, it's just that Nier, this girl, has a high spirit, and there have been many people who have come to the door to propose marriage in recent years, but she can't look down on it. When you came, she fell in love with you, and knew that you couldn't live with us for a long time, so she wanted to go with you, saying that she was willing to be your maid, and if she left you, she wouldn't be able to live. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Wanli covered his face with his hands and almost wanted to cry, both ashamed and helpless.
