Chapter 017: Good Ambition
Under the guidance of Li Tong, Li Wenxuan walked into a house in the backyard where Chinese medicinal materials were stacked. Li Tong, who had brought the stairs, climbed up slowly, and removed a basket covered with a red cloth from the beam. With his feet on the ground, he placed the basket in his hand on a shabby tabletop.
Li Tong, who uncovered the red cloth covering the basket, said confidently: "I dare to say that there is no wild ginseng that can be better than me in this Guangxin Mansion." ”
Li Wenxuan, who casually took out a wild ginseng from the basket, saw that it was indeed a wild ginseng, not a dried radish. Although there is no wild ginseng in this basket that is more than ten years old, the small half basket can still be used for a while, after all, I want to extract the essence of wild ginseng from it and add it to Chinese patent medicine.
Li Wenxuan did not put the wild ginseng that he had checked in his hand into the bamboo basket, but put it on the table, and then continued to check the authenticity one by one, calmly compared it, and asked the price: "What price?" ”
Seeing that he intended to buy all of them, Li Tong said with a smile on his face: "Since you are your own person, and you know the goods and know how to do it, then I will sell you a fair price, two thousand taels of silver." ”
Li Wenxuan, who weighed it in his heart, felt that he was fair this time, so he didn't bargain. Without saying much, he checked the wild ginseng in the basket one by one, and finally finalized it with Li Tong. Li Wenxuan, who used the red cloth used to cover the bamboo basket to cover the ground, and then put all the wild ginseng on the table into it and packed it, did not hurry to find out two thousand taels of silver tickets and handed them to the other party.
Li Tong, who had collected the silver ticket, really didn't care what he did when he bought it, and said in line with the establishment of a long-term business relationship between a seller and a buyer: "In the future, good goods will be prepared for you, and you don't need to come all the way from Guixi to Shangrao." I'll send it to you myself. Li Wenxuan, who arched his hand, was not very trustworthy in his heart, but in order to reduce the need to travel and have a fixed supplier, he politely said: "Then it will be tiring." As long as you have good medicinal herbs here, then I will not only need wild ginseng next time. ”
Li, who could understand it, informed him that he was saying something, and he intended to make him genuine. As for his own method of dried radish, Li Wenxuan does have a lot of opinions. However, Li Tong, who smiled and passed, did not intend to stop here, after all, the other party's words would not change his original intention of seeking more benefits.
After completing the transaction, Li Tong, as the owner, intended to keep Li Wenxuan down for dinner, so as to be a landlord's friendship. In this regard, Li Wenxuan, who had an excuse for something, euphemistically shirked it. Since he knew that Lin Ruoxi was not only Lin Zhengbei's youngest daughter, but also had a marriage contract with him, he had a little turmoil in his heart. Although she is very beautiful and her temperament seems to be very gentle, her holiday with the Lin family will not be forgotten because of this, after all, the Lin family has forced him to die.
Li Wenxuan, who took the things he bought, was personally sent out of the house by Li Tong. Walking on the road, he didn't think much about Lin Ruoxi, all as if she was a hurried passer-by in his life. Thinking about it, I immediately felt that Zhao Tian'er at home was very good, after all, the little girl was not only considerate and thoughtful to him, but also affectionate and righteous.
Li Wenxuan, who had just walked to the door of the inn, saw from a distance that the coachman who had finished selling grain was happily humming a mountain song and walking towards him. He waited until the driver approached and pulled the mule lane: "Tomorrow, I think we can go back." ”
The driver who jumped off the mule cart successfully sold a cart of grain, and said in a good mood: "Everything is arranged by Master Xiucai." ”
After the explanation, Li Wenxuan, who walked straight into the store, didn't have much appetite, and went directly upstairs to his room. He put the big red bag in his hand on the side of the bed, and lay on the bed with his back on his back. Put your hands behind your head and close your eyes to recuperate. At this time, Lin Ruoxi's appearance appeared in his mind again. Unaware of the fact that someone had pushed the door in, he was still lying motionless on the bed.
The unhappy girl didn't put down the things in her hand yet, and said directly: "Is this your hospitality?" Miss Fei didn't want to go, and asked me to bring medicine and tonic medicine to visit you. ”
Li Wenxuan, who got up slowly, saw that the person who came was none other than the slightly arrogant personal maid beside Lin Ruoxi, but the joy that he couldn't control in his heart was not revealed, and he sat cross-legged and said: "Your young lady's carriage blew me down, so naturally it is a loss." You were asked to bring something to make up for the troubles of her conscience. ”
The girl who was so angry that her little face was red by the light of her own young lady, no matter where she went, there were always people who came to stammer and please her, and she had never seen such an ignorant humanity as in front of her: "You, you ......"
"You what you. My surname is Li and my name is Wenxuan. Li Wenxuan, who tilted his neck and looked at the other party, interjected first.
The girl who was in a hurry saw his unfriendly attitude, and threw the things in her hand at him, and said with her eyebrows raised: "Zhilu, your name is Li Wenxuan." Is it great to be called Li Wenxuan? ”
Li Wenxuan, who was quick-eyed, picked up the things she threw over as soon as he raised his hand, and then looked at her red face, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Since you know the way, it's good." By the way, I remember your name should be Hey! ”
"I'm not yelling for hey. Autumn of autumn, moonlight of the moon. Qiu Yue learned the way he introduced himself and said loudly.
Li Wenxuan, who had a "oh" pause, didn't mean to get up at all, and continued to laugh: "Your original name is Qiu Yue!" However, why don't you call it the winter moon, or the spring moon, or the summer moon? ”
The autumn moon of the air is a stomp of the feet. Her eyes bulged out, and then she noticed that the man in front of her was still dignified.
Li Wenxuan, who noticed this detail of the other party, continued to say improperly: "You see that I have an extraordinary appearance, do you want to try something against me?" It's impossible to marry you, but it's okay to make you my concubine. After all, you're not that ugly. ”
Qiu Yue, who had already begun to go crazy, had seen this kind of thing for the first time in her life, so she lifted her skirt with her angry hands and stepped forward quickly to beat this villain who spoke lightly. Because she was walking too fast, she didn't notice her feet for a while. stumbled, and directly rushed towards Li Wenxuan's front. Before Li Wenxuan could react, he was thrown on the bed by Qiu Yue. Qiuyue's little face stacked in front of him suddenly became more and more red.
The proprietress who came in with tea was shocked by the scene in front of her and said, "In broad daylight, which play are you going to play?" ”
Qiu Yue, who got up in a hurry, lowered her head shyly, covered her face with her hands, and ran out of the city without daring to delay for a moment. Li Wenxuan, who got up slowly, saw the look of the boss lady and knew that she had misunderstood.
Showing embarrassment, he explained: "Don't get me wrong, it was purely an accident just now. ”
The proprietress who smiled lightly put the things in her hand aside and said, "It doesn't matter if I misunderstood or not, and whether that girl misunderstood or not is unknown." Still, this girl seems to be good. ”
"Why can't I see that?" Li Wenxuan, who approached her, said calmly.
"The slave family is a person from the past, and he will not be mistaken. This little girl's eyes are pure, and she doesn't look like a scheming person. If you can marry her, you will surely serve you properly in the future. The proprietress smiled and said: "This kind of woman who goes in and out of a wealthy family is always a little more arrogant than a girl from a poor family, and it is normal to be hypocritical." If you can trust the slave family, then I can tell you about this family business. ”
Li Wenxuan, who poured a cup of tea for himself, didn't drink it in the palm of his hand, but felt that the proprietress had a powerful eyesight, and then smiled: "Then don't bother to bother." Said that I may not marry her young lady, presumably she will also be used as a dowry. Why should I give up my own to seek the end? ”
The proprietress who laughed loudly was all laughing as if the two of them were laughing: "Good ambition." Li Wenxuan, who laughed a little, did not speak again, but drank tea silently. In fact, I didn't have that idea in my heart at all, I just casually talked to her.
Qiu Yue, who returned to the Li family, was ashamed and angry, but she did not deliberately add fuel and vinegar, deliberately rectifying people and waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. The first time she saw Lin Ruoxi, she gave a very objective report on what happened on Li Wenxuan's side. Lin Ruoxi, who didn't like to laugh, couldn't help laughing after listening to her narration.
"Miss, you're going to make fun of me, too." Qiu Yue, whose face was still ruddy, was embarrassed to stand next to her.
Lin Ruoxi, who put down the book in his hand, put away his smiling face and quickly returned to his usual true colors and said: "I'm not making fun of you, but I think that son named Li Wenxuan is very interesting." ”
Qiu Yue, who pouted with her small mouth, blinked her eyes twice, and said disapprerovingly: "Why don't I think he's funny?"
Lin Ruoxi, who stood up slowly, said his feelings unhurriedly and slowly: "According to common sense, we all feel that it is too late for others to stammer, and we will not make something out of nothing. Listening to you say this, I think Li Wenxuan is at least not a kitsch person. Presumably he didn't mean to tease you, but you forgot what you should have been. ”
Qiu Yue, who had a stubborn mouth, really couldn't hate Li Wenxuan in her heart for a while, and actively distinguished: "I haven't forgotten the etiquette taught by Miss, but that person is so annoying that I don't want to see him again." ”
Lin Ruoxi, whose attention was focused on her face, instantly saw through Xiao Nizi's careful thoughts. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her personal maid, and she decided that Qiu Yue's thoughts were human nature. She is already twenty-nine years old, and her personal maid Qiuyue is also twenty-eight years old. If they had been born into an ordinary family, they would have married at the age of about fourteen. If you reach the age of sixteen or eighteen, you will be a mother with children.
Lin Ruoxi, who is the daughter of a big family, is not a superficial woman, but has her own ideas. Sitting back in her place, she stopped talking, picked up the book in her hand and continued reading. Qiu Yue, who knew that her young lady didn't like to be disturbed by reading, held both sides of her skirt, lowered her head, and slowly retreated.
