"So Ling Zun finally asked Brother Yang to go to the capital to visit that old guest first?"

"That's right, that's what the father did.

In fact, my father is very right, if you want to know who my mother had a feud with, you must first find out the source of her life experience.

It's useless to just go to the Iron Brake Mountain where my father met my mother back then.

Eighteen or nineteen years have passed since this incident, and it is impossible for those enemies of my mother to still wait there. ”

At this point, Yang Congxun suddenly stopped and sighed.

"Listen to Dad, after he rescued his mother, the old guest surnamed Ma quietly reminded him when no one was around, no matter what, he couldn't fall in love with my mother.

If you really fall in love, you must not follow your mother back to their tribe hidden in the reckless mountains outside the gate.

However, no matter how much Daddy asked, the old guest refused to continue, but repeatedly warned Daddy that if he still wanted his own life, he must remember his advice. ”

"Wow, isn't it? The tribe you were born into is so evil? Once you go, you will die, is it possible that the life there eats the living? ”

"How is this possible? My mother is a good person, and Hu San, didn't you listen to my father? My mother used to be a very famous goddess outside the gate, if their tribe eats people, who would dare to ask my mother to do things? ”

"That's right, then should we go to the capital to see this old horse?"

"You must go to go, after all, the capital is the only way to go to the customs by land, just go to the old Hakka's house by the way.

It's a long way for us to go to Guanwai, and we don't care about this half of the day.

Listen to my father, the old guest in the flag army outside the customs is not, if he is willing to lend us a token, in the future when we go out of the customs to see a lot of trouble, who let this old guest owe my father a big favor? ”

Yang Congxun proudly told the fox that when the old guest heard that the owner of the mountain goods village actually asked him for a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng as a condition to help him prove it, his face was immediately as bitter as if he had eaten a yellow lotus.

It's not that Ma Laoke is not good at his skills, and he can't find this century-old ginseng on the mountain, but he goes into the mountain to find ginseng...... It's really all about luck.

It turns out that after this ginseng grows and takes shape in the ground, it only grows three leaves in the first year, and it is called 'Sanhuazi'.

By the second year, a petiole with five leaves grows, called a 'horseshoe'.

After every year, the ginseng will grow an extra petiole and five leaves, and this one split petiole is called a product, which is an elegant name for the word 'splitting the fork'.

Ten years later, this mountain tree will grow all five 'pin' leaves, which are called 'five-pin' leaves.

After that, the ginseng no longer continues to grow leaves, but every ten years, an extra circle of wrist knots grows on the underground rhizome.

Therefore, whether a ginseng has been growing underground for a hundred years or not can only be known by lifting it out of the ground and counting the knots on the stems, and it is useless to look at the ground with your eyes.

In a word, a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng must be a five-grade leaf, but a five-grade leaf ginseng is not necessarily a century-old mountain ginseng.

You know, this ginseng is really an extremely labor-intensive technical work, and it is necessary to nail the ground around the ginseng in a five-foot radius with eight wooden stakes tied to red ropes in advance.

Then use a special hardwood shovel to clean the dirt from the surrounding little by little to the middle.

"It is said that this ginseng is cultivated by the essence of the forest tree, so it must not be excavated with a shovel, so as not to restrain the gold and wood and hurt the essence of the wood in the ginseng body.

In fact, the reason why Daddy has such a special attitude is more because the shovel is too sharp, and if he is not careful, he will hurt the huge roots of ginseng during the excavation process.

As a result, the value of this ginseng plant has to be greatly reduced. ”

Yang Congxun told Hu San that if he wanted to get a good ginseng plant on the mountain, it would be difficult to succeed if he didn't work on the mountain for ten and a half months.

But people are flesh and blood, and even mountain pickers with extremely experienced mountain walkers have limited energy and physical strength.

Those reckless mountains outside the gate are not your own backyard, and they are definitely not places you can go to if you want to!

Walking up the mountain without cultivating your body to the best condition in advance is not enough to spend many lives.

In addition, the air outside the gate is also cold early, 'Hu August is flying snow', as soon as the snow falls, the mountain is sealed, and there is no way to go in to collect ginseng.

Ma Laoke knew very well in his heart that since the owner of the mountain goods village could offer such a condition to himself, he would definitely be able to offer this condition to his two juniors.

Therefore, he could not spend his time going into the mountains to look for 'Wupinye' ginseng to gamble on his luck.

If he wanted to be one step ahead in this race, he found a way to directly go to the gate to collect a century-old ginseng that was found by others and came back to pay for it.

Anyway, the owner of the mountain goods village does not recognize people, as long as this ginseng is a genuine century-old ginseng, no one cares whether it is dug up by you yourself.

It's also a coincidence, when this old guest went to pay tribute to the master outside the Guan, he accidentally learned from the mountain walkers outside the Guanxi that a century-old mountain ginseng had recently been unearthed, and finally this mountain ginseng was dedicated to General Jihei, who held the local military and political power.

What's even more coincidental is that a while ago, a group of people with accents outside the customs came to the capital to buy all kinds of strange toys.

I heard people I knew, these people are the subordinates of General Jihei's mansion, and this trip to the capital is to buy some high-end silk gouache and other goods to go back to coax General Jihei's second son to take a new concubine happy.

"So this old guest hit the idea of your family's ancestral cloud brocade, and wanted to exchange this piece of silk satin for the century-old ginseng of General Jihei's mansion?"

"But not how? Listen to my father, then this old horse guest painted a big cake for him, and his own picture is this opportunity to change his name.

I just hope that I can smoothly bring the ginseng back from the northeast, and then send it to the Zhenguo General's Mansion through the channel of the owner of the mountain goods village.

After that, all the silver rewarded by General Zhenguo went to his father, and he didn't want a penny. ”

"So Lord Lingzun promised this old guest to take the ancestral Yunjin to exchange ginseng together?"

I only heard Yang Congxun's long sigh: "So far, my father can't agree if he wants to."

Hu San, think about it carefully, how can there be such a clever thing in the world?

Someone on the front foot came to the capital to buy good silk, and the old customer on the back foot bumped into his father with a rare cloud brocade on his back in a remote wine shop?

It must have been passed on to this old customer that the news that my father was selling Yunjin to people everywhere in the Zhili realm.

That's why this person will follow his father all the way into this hotel, and then buy the owner of the store, and play a play in front of his father with the second store.

This plan is so big, if you don't follow him, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky. ”

"Drink, it turns out that this old horse guest is also a cunning and resourceful person.

But only in this way can it pass, and those old customers who often walk outside the gate have to have a few more eyes than others to not die in vain. ”

"But, listen to my father, he and Lao Keshun successfully used the century-old ginseng plant to exchange for a reward of 23,000 taels of silver from General Zhenguo.

After deducting the shopkeeper's rake, the remaining silver was forced into half of the old customer. ”

Seeing that his plan had already been seen through by the other party, the old guest suddenly became a little embarrassed, pulled Yang Xindu aside with his hand, and said a few heart-wrenching words to him.

Ma Laoke admitted frankly that after he came back from this trip outside the customs, he didn't want to go out of the customs to make a living.

In the future, he will settle in the capital, relying on his years of experience in the mountains to lead a caravan to traffic rare mountain goods outside the customs.

From then on, he ate this bowl of stable rice with his eyesight, so as not to be like his master in the future, but he will end up buried in the mountains and forests at a large age.

"The old man told my father that if you want to settle in the capital, it is difficult to go to school without capital

Therefore, he was very grateful to my father for his generosity, and solemnly promised that if my Yang family would be useful in the future to get his horse martial arts, he would do his best to help! ”

"It turns out that this is the case, then it seems that we have to go to this capital Ma Wuye's house."
