Several people present saw that Zeng Rong said so firmly, thinking that it was only a year, if Zeng Rong could really get back ten taels of silver, not only could he solve the family's predicament, but also help the family do a year of work, and the most important thing was that if Zeng Rong had a way to make money, he would definitely not be just this ten taels of silver.

Taking a step back, even if Zeng Rong lied and couldn't earn the ten taels of silver, it would not be a bad thing for Tian Shuilan, because Zeng Rong was delaying Zeng Fuxiang's family affairs and Zeng Guixiang's studies, and then they would complain about her, and at that time, she would propose to sell Zeng Rong again, and the father and son would probably have no more opinions.

For this reason, Tian Shuilan, who had made up her mind, didn't wait for others to speak, she agreed first, and the Wang family and Zeng Guixiang were a little unhappy with their grandchildren, but before they could speak, Ouyang Si came in with three packets of medicine.

Ouyang Si saw that Zeng Rong had woken up, and stepped forward to check her pulse again, and then told her a few words, such as not getting out of bed these days, not catching a cold, not to be tired, and to stay in bed for a few days, and then explained the decoction method of this medicine twice.

"Yes, Mr. Lao, how much does this medicine cost?" Zeng Rong didn't know the situation of this Ouyang Si very well, the reason why she asked this sentence was because she knew that her family would definitely not be able to come up with the money, she wanted to find a reason to ask him to teach her to identify herbs, and with the excuse of collecting herbs, she could make her family believe that she could earn ten taels of silver a year.

Although Ouyang Si didn't know the situation of Zeng Rong's family very well, he knew that Zeng Guixiang had been in arrears for several months, so he smiled at Zeng Chengchun, "Let's talk about it later, I'll take a look at it when the Zeng family's sister finishes taking these medicines, I'm afraid I will have to catch a few more pairs, and then I will have to settle it." ”

Tian Shuilan held back the fire when Ouyang Si said that he would not let Zeng Rong go to the ground to do things, and when he heard him say that he had to grab a few pairs of medicines, she immediately changed her face, "Hey, what kind of noble body is it, you have to keep taking medicine if you can't go to the ground to do things, where can we afford it?" ”

"There is Mr. Lao, the money for this medicine is what I owe to Mr., and I will definitely repay it in the future." Zeng Rong took the words.

Ouyang Si didn't want the money for this medicine at all, so he didn't care about Zeng Rong's words, nodded, and didn't bother to look at the faces of the Zeng family, seeing that everything that should be explained was clear, he said goodbye and left.

Zeng Guixiang left with Ouyang Si, and at this time, the academy had already started to read early.

As soon as the two left, Wang also left, she is currently living at her youngest son's house, and there are still a bunch of housework waiting for her to do.

And Zeng Rong saw that her family promised to give her a year, so she had to dispel the idea of looking for the patriarch, originally she wanted to take this opportunity to make a big deal and move out of the Zeng family, but then she thought about it, she was a twelve-year-old girl after all, and this would affect not only the reputation of the Zeng family, but also her reputation.

Seeing that the family was about to leave one after another, Zeng Rong called out to the eldest brother, "Big brother, can you help me decoction the medicine, Ahua is too young, I'm afraid of burning her." ”

Zeng Fuxiang nodded, picked up all three packs of medicine, Zeng Rong saw it, asked him to put down the medicine bag, and only took one pack away.

It's not that she is troublesome, she really doesn't believe in Tian Shuilan, who knows if this woman will do something when these medicines are taken to the stove. Anyone.

After everyone in the room went out, Zeng Rong lay down, after working for half a day, she was really dizzy, and her limbs were also very sore, she knew that she was indeed feverish.

Not long after lying down, Zeng Rong fell asleep, but he didn't sleep peacefully at all, there was always noise in his ears, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, and there were always people dangling in front of him.

I don't know how long it took, she was woken up by Tian Shuilan's scolding in a daze, but it happened that Zeng Fuxiang came in with a bowl of soup and medicine, and Zeng Rongzha struggled to sit up again.

"What's going on outside?" She still asked this in the official dialect of the capital.

No way, when she woke up from a dream just now, her mind was still a little unconscious.

The main reason is that she has been accustomed to the official dialect for so many years, and in her last life, she has never spoken her hometown dialect since she followed Xu Jing into Beijing at the age of six to learn the official dialect of the capital, so if she didn't deliberately search for it in her head, she wouldn't have spoken her hometown dialect at all.

"What? What are you talking about? Zeng Fuxiang had that weird feeling in his heart again, he thought that his sister had become too assertive, and even his accent would change, what did his sister go through?

"Oh no, I just had a dream." Zeng Rong changed his accent back.

At this time, she also heard clearly, Tian Shuilan was scolding Zeng Hua outside, as if Zeng Hua had gone outside to hunt pigweed and had not come back, and there was still a bunch of work waiting for her to do at home.

"Big brother, Ah Hua is still young, you have worked a little harder in the past two days." Zeng Rong pleaded for Ah Hua.

The children of the poor have long been in charge, although she came over like this in the previous life, but looking back, she still can't bear it.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't seek death, the eldest brother is not afraid of hard work." Zeng Fuxiang reached out and touched his sister's head, with infinite guilt in his eyes.

"Big brother also rest assured, as long as my father and mother don't sell me, I will definitely not seek death, when I get better, I will definitely think of making money, and I will definitely help my eldest brother marry my sister-in-law." At this moment, Zeng Rong was a little moved by Zeng Fuxiang.

Although this eldest brother is a little weak and incompetent, and his selfishness is not small, his conscience is not completely extinguished, so Zeng Rong wants to pull him.

This day's breakfast was also brought into the room by Zeng Fuxiang and sent to Zeng Rong's bedside, a bowl of thin vegetable porridge, without any oil and water, to Zeng Rong's surprise, there was actually a poached egg lying at the bottom of the bowl.

She guessed that this poached egg must have been stolen by her eldest brother, because Tian Shuilan used the excuse that her body was heavy and she couldn't bend over, and she didn't do much work in the stove room, basically just taking Alai, sweeping the floor, or doing some sewing and mending needlework.

Zeng Rong remembered very well that after the eldest sister in the previous life was gone, she quickly followed her eldest brother to learn to cook, standing on a stool without reaching the stove, and the poor family's rice was easy to cook, that is, put a little rice into the pot to boil porridge, and when the porridge was almost ready, she poured the washed and cut vegetables into the pot.

There is no way, stir-frying costs oil, rice is not enough to eat, and vegetable porridge saves trouble, food and oil.

Zeng Rong hadn't eaten this kind of vegetable porridge for many years, not to mention the oil, and there was no saltiness, although an egg was added to the bottom of the bowl, it was not at all attractive to people like her who were used to fine clothes and food.

She was a sick person, so her unpalatable fall into Zeng Fuxiang's eyes only increased his guilt, he thought that this sister was too sick to even eat eggs, which was most likely a sign of imminent death.
