Chapter 240: The Story of Ginseng Picking

Xia Lihe entered the capital, because of the lawsuit with the Cao family, he has not yet approached the circle of nobles in the capital, but with the official reinstatement of Xiahou and his son, as Emperor Yong'an treats the prince better than before the abolition, as Xia Baihe cures Li Jin and has dealings with the girls of the Fu family, the Xia family gradually began to recover the scene of busy traffic, and the daughters who were familiar with the three girls of the original Xia family gradually began to come to the door.

In terms of interpersonal communication, Xia Baihe still has to thank You Shaojun, the original King Jianjun lost three fiancées in a row, and his marriage became a headache for Princess Changning, Princess Changning has a list of nobles of the Tianyou Dynasty in her hand, in which who is the political enemy and whose family is the enemy, who is as close to whom is a family, but in private he can't wait to kill each other, who and who don't deal with each other on the surface, but the elders in the family still have a share of incense, which daughter is different, which family is patriarchal...... All of them are described in detail.

You Shaojun copied a copy and put it in the sedan chair when Xia Lily went to give Li Jin a follow-up consultation, so Xia Lily had a bottom in her heart when she walked among the nobles and girls after the year, and she received several posts asking her to play.

The circle of noble ladies in the capital is also a small circle in the big circle, this is very good, just look at the major festivals who get together with whom to understand, such as the Flower Dynasty Festival on February 12 this year, the capital is divided into five to do, each of which sent an invitation to the Xia family's sister-in-law.

"I haven't been in the capital for more than a year, and it seems that there are changes...... You Shi understood as soon as he flipped through those posts.

Xia Baihe knew from the chat between the two sisters-in-law that this party was attended by the daughters of each small circle in turn, and as for each small circle to send invitations to the Xia family, one was to get the meaning, and the other was to see where the Xia family's daughters would go, so as to analyze the tendency of the situation in the court.

There is a way to everything, it is more complicated than the number vein, Xia Baihe does not call the shots, everything is arranged by the You family, You Shi wanted to go to the Hanlin Bachelor Yu family at first, because it was Xia Zhongtan's boss's house, but Mrs. Jia came over and suggested that they go to the Liang family, the servant of the Criminal Department.

"The Liang family and their children have not found a favorite family, this time the Liang family rented a hundred gardens on the outskirts of the city, the eldest young master of the Liang family wants to hold a poetry meeting in the west, and the Liang family will enjoy the flowers with friends in the east. "Mrs. Jia didn't say anything, but also took out the map of Baihuayuan, which really deserves to be the family of the Criminal Department.

Isn't this a large-scale blind date activity in ancient times? Xia Lily looked at the map, the painting was really vivid, the weeping willows by the river, the small bridge on the river were all clear, and there were all kinds of flowers in full bloom, it was a good place for blind dates.

You and Huang understand better that it is the most appropriate time to go to the Hundred Gardens during the Flower Dynasty Festival, so the rental fee of this famous garden belonging to Prince Gong is not cheap, and the Liang family has not found a pair of children, no wonder his family is willing to spend this money, and it is nothing for the Xia family to borrow a light, there are so many talents in the capital, Miss Liang and Neng can choose the same one with the Xia family?

If you decide to go to Liang's house, You has to reply to the Liang family for reconfirmation, and then prepare the people to be brought with you, cars, horses, clothes, wine, food, snacks, etc.

The preparation is all in charge of the housewife, Xia Lihe only needs to be obedient, so she is still reading medical books in the embroidery building, and at the same time teaching a few Yahuan and Jinghui and Yaya who came to play.

"Okay, you've all known the herbs this time, and it's time for storytelling. ”

As soon as I heard Xia Lily say this, Yaya and a few Yahuan, who were tired of listening, suddenly became energetic, the story told by the three girls was their favorite, especially Yaya, she was just sitting here honestly following everyone to recognize the medicinal materials because of the story.

Only Jinghui carefully put away the medicinal herbs, and then came over to sit and listen to Xia Lily's story.

"Today we know ginseng, I'll tell you a story related to ginseng," Xia Lily knows a lot of stories related to medicinal herbs, all of which were told to her by her grandfather, and then when she grows up, she tells her little nephew, all of whom are familiar.

"There is a rural village, backed by a barren mountain, planted more sand than soil, drinking well water is still muddy, far away from the city, such a place is lived by the poor, but the people are not poor, the villagers are still trying to make a fortune, this year a few strong men left the village, went out to find a way to live, their families are looking forward to it, not to mention, they are coming back safely during the New Year, and there are a lot of food and clothing, the whole village is a sensation at once.

Taking advantage of the New Year's greetings, the villagers gathered in the homes of those strong men and asked them how they got rich, and the villagers did not hide it, saying that they went to the deep mountains and old forests to be ginseng pickers, and they were lucky, and found a few wild ginseng plants with good quality, and took them to the city for dozens of taels of silver. ”

Yaya, they just heard Xia Lily introduce the difference between wild ginseng and planted ginseng, although they can't tell the difference, but at least they understand that wild is the most valuable, and the more years go by, the more treasured it is.

"I heard that ginseng can be exchanged for so much money, the village is happy, then what are you waiting for, everyone goes to pick, the whole village is so rich that the oil is just around the corner, but the few strong men said again, saying that it is not so easy to pick ginseng, the deep mountains and old forests are not only easy to get lost, there are man-eating beasts, there are many other ginseng pickers, some see you pick good ginseng, they also do the thing of killing people and goods, what is more difficult is that there are too many people picking ginseng, how many good ginseng can be left in the mountains, they are looking for only a few decades, it is considered great luck, whether they can pick it again next year, no one can guarantee。

A man said that he also asked the villagers to see a long scar on his arm, saying that he had hit a trap laid by other Orion cloth and was injured, and the villagers were scared when they saw it.

There is a cowherd baby in this village, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, because he is poor and has not said that he has a daughter-in-law, he is the only one in his family, and there is nothing to be afraid of, so he simply sold the cow, followed those men to pick ginseng, and gambled, and those strong men knew that this cowherd baby was a powerful and honest person, so they agreed to take him, but everyone had to spend their own money for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

It is right to raise yourself by yourself, and the cattle baby followed a few strong men out of the house and into the mountains, and they went around in the mountains for a month, and they didn't find a favorite ginseng, but they almost fought with another group of ginseng pickers because of the territory, and everyone's mood gradually became not good.

The cow herd baby regretted a little and didn't dare to say, so he often sat alone in the distance after dinner and played the flute, he played the bamboo flute he saw, and he made up his own tune, which was quite good, and the evidence was that every time he played the flute, a little girl in red came to listen to him play the flute, and the little girl in red was on the same side as the girl. ”

Xia Lily pointed at Yaya as she spoke, and Yaya suddenly had a particularly good impression of the little girl in red, and listened more seriously.
