Chapter 247: The Immortal Elixir is Born

The area around Wangjiadu is the poorest place in Huzhuzhou, and everyone is starving all year round, and their health will definitely not get better. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and the sanitation environment is definitely not good, and even in winter, people often get malaria.

No, after the two children of the Song family, someone in the neighboring village got malaria. The family was so poor that they didn't even have the money to ask for it, so they had to take the medicine they begged from the Song family. I also had the idea of giving it a try, but the yellow artemisia powder once again showed its miraculous effect.

Once may be accidental, twice can no longer be explained by chance.

As a result, the Song family's medicinal powder was crowned with the reputation of "immortal medicine", and it spread to the gods, and gradually spread farther and farther.

Even Cao Afu, who didn't live closely, had heard about the Song family's elixir, and he also wanted to come and ask for some to go back in case of emergency. But he heard from the neighbors who went there two days ago that the medicinal powder brought by the relatives of the Song family is limited after all, and you can ask me too, and the medicinal powder will soon bottom out. Those like them who are late to go will not be able to ask for it. After Cao Afu heard this, he had to give up.

Now that he has come to the Song family, Cao Afu wants to try to ask for some.

said that there was no more, but the Song family always had to keep some of it, right? Can you give him a little bit? Cao Afu was very worried.

As Cao Afu guessed, the Song family did leave some. I heard that Cao Afu wanted it, and the old man Song took one or two for him. However, when he gave it, Old Man Song repeatedly instructed him not to tell outsiders.

Cao Afu hurriedly nodded and said that he understood, carrying the medicinal powder in his arms, holding Jiang Baosheng's hard-stuffed dim sum in his hand, and happily left the Song family.

The two Liang Ji men knew that the Song family was crowded, so they also followed behind Cao Afu and retreated with interest.

There were three fewer people all of a sudden, and the Song family finally had some cracks. It was only at this time that Jiang Baosheng was able to look at the basement where the Song family lived.

When he stood outside, he guessed that there must be a lot of humidity in this room. But when he came in, he saw that it was not only damp, but there was a lot of water on the ground. It turned out that the yellow mud wall of the bamboo raft could block the river water, but it could not block the rain, and as soon as it rained, the rainwater poured straight into the basement. It is rainy in Hu Tuzhou, and there is basically no time for the Song family to do it.

Seeing this, Jiang Baosheng's heart choked, and he held Old Man Song's hand and said, "Father-in-law, you have suffered!" I should have come to see you sooner. ”

Old Man Song listened very warmly, and smiled heartily: "Not bitter, not bitter!" I'm used to living here. ”

Seeing Jiang Baosheng frowning at the stagnant water on the ground, Old Man Song said again: "Everything is good here, but the humidity is heavier." ”

"Father-in-law, Ah He, oh no, it's called Yuan Niang, your granddaughter Yuan Niang brought you some silver money a few days ago, is it possible that you haven't received it yet?"

Jiang Baosheng pondered: Even if the Song family has a tael of silver in their hands, they can buy a piece of land on the land to build a grass house, and they don't have to crowd in this damp basement anymore. They are still living so poorly, most of them are the people from the Longwei Dart Bureau who have not yet delivered the money. But how long has it been, and the money hasn't been delivered yet, it's incredible, right?

Old Man Song looked outside and whispered, "I received it, I received it along with those medicines." Xing Dart Master not only brought a bag of broken silver, but also a lot of gold leaves, which were exactly the same as what was written in Yuan Niang's letter. ”

"Then why don't you build two new houses on land?" Jiang Baosheng wondered.

"Yuan Niang entrusted Xing Dart Master to send it this time, plus the one given by the Pei family last time, it adds up to nearly 100 taels of silver. Although it cost a lot to buy land, there are still sixty or seventy taels left. Not to mention that this money is in Huduzhou, it is enough to build several blue brick houses in our Gaodian Village. When the child is older, he gradually can't live in it, so we originally planned to take advantage of the slack time to build two houses with this silver. Speaking of this, Old Man Song let out a long sigh and said, "No matter how much silver you have, you can't stand the toss of a loser!" ”

It turned out that Song's mother, Li, had two daughters and two sons, the eldest daughter was Song, and Song had two younger brothers and a younger sister.

Song Chengli, the eldest brother of the Song family, was successful in studying, and was admitted to the Jinshi at a young age, and also served as a county magistrate for several years. Even if he was suppressed after the new emperor ascended the throne, was burdened with trumped-up charges, and even caused the whole family to be sent to Hu Tuzhou, he was still the pride of Old Man Song.

Song Chengyi, the younger brother of the Song family, has nothing to say, a proper second-rate son. Song Chengyi's son Song Zhiyan is a little stronger than his unlearned Lao Tzu, who entered school at the age of six, and the gentleman in the school at that time did not praise less, saying that he was not like his father and his uncle, and he would be a great future in the future. It's a pity that he grew crooked, and gradually began to move closer to his Lao Tzu, but he didn't learn anything famous, and the test for fame must be useless. If he is willing to be a scholar who is not high or low, the worst thing is that he always wants to fight grievances, and his sense of justice will break out from time to time, causing a lot of trouble, which is the case in his hometown Gaodian Village, even after coming to Hu Tuzhou, he will not stop.

This time, it was Song Zhiyan who roared when he saw the injustice, and offended the magnates in the county, and almost didn't toss all the Song family into prison. Later, relying on the Pei family's post, the other party did not investigate deeply, but all the money in his hand was lost.

This can make Song Chengyi angry, these days when he sees Song Zhiyan is a smoking, so that he doesn't dare to stay in the house in the cold. I still heard that a guest was coming, and it was expected that his father was embarrassed to do something in front of the guest, so he dared to come home.

Seeing the predicament of his father-in-law's family, Jiang Baosheng decided not to leave for the time being, and planned to stay and build a house for his father-in-law, so that their family could have a place to live.

Speaking of which, Jiang Baosheng was temporarily found by Liang Yan, and he was too anxious when he came out, and he didn't bring too much money with him. However, Liang Yan did things very properly, and knew that he was going to visit Jiang Helianzi's foreign house, so he borrowed him one hundred taels of travel expenses. It is said that the poor are rich, but where did the road expenses cost a hundred taels? The three of them walked all the way, and they didn't even spend three taels of silver. The one hundred taels that Liang Yan borrowed are still in Jiang Baosheng's hands, and he has not touched a penny.

Thinking that the old man Song and his wife gave birth to such a good daughter-in-law, Jiang Baosheng couldn't wait to spend all the money on the old couple and build them the best house to spend their old age in peace. But he knows very well the truth that wealth cannot be exposed, the poverty here is very poor, and the words of building a blue brick and large tile house are too attention-grabbing, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be looked down upon. So he thought about buying some red bricks and coming back to build the wall, then smearing mud on the outside of the wall, and finally using the method Zhao Siniang said to cover the grass roof. The recipe made in this way is both strong and durable, and it is not eye-catching, which is no better.

Old Man Song naturally agreed with his son-in-law's proposal, and immediately took his children and grandchildren to work.
