Chapter 13 Don't take advantage

The original owner had walked a distance, and the old man behind him caught up and said, "Silly girl, the old man is leaving, the old man's home lives far away, and you and I may not have a chance to meet again." Alas, I really can't take advantage of you, or I'll have trouble sleeping. Let's do it, my surname is Zhang," he took a small wooden plaque from his waist and stuffed it into Xu Lanyin's hand, and said, "Take this plaque and go to the capital to find the shopkeeper of the Hundred Herb Hall, his owner owes me a favor and has not repaid it, and his owner will pay for a black root grass on my behalf." You don't want money, it's okay, my favor can't be bought by money, if there is anything in your family that can't be overcome, let him return this love. ”

The original owner looked at the wooden card, which was written with a "week" in seal characters, and smelled carefully, the wooden card also had a special medicinal fragrance. She thought in her heart, how much is a jasmine tree worth, even the medicine hall in the capital can't be wronged and give a high price, and it's still so far away. Even if the jasmine grass that has been changed can be sold for two taels of silver, after walking so far and staying and eating, the price of tofu will become meat. But seeing that the old man was so sincere, he reluctantly put the wooden sign into his arms, and felt that this thing was far less cute than the silver coin.

Mr. Zhang stuffed the small wooden box into the original owner's hand again, and said, "This is an ointment for another black root grass, take it to wipe your face or heal your wounds, don't take my words as a deaf ear." He also instructed, "If you can dig up black-root grass and dig up two of them at once, it means that you are blessed and have great opportunities." If you are lucky enough to dig up this thing, don't sell it to other pharmacies, you don't know the goods, they don't know the goods, they just think it's jasmine. Sell it to the Hundred Herb Hall in the capital, and the shopkeeper will give you a good price. ”

The original owner always felt that this old man was incapable and verbose, but he was generous, and he was a little stupid, nodded patiently, and stuffed the small wooden box into his arms very face-savingly.

The original owner said goodbye to the old man and happily ran to the ancient house. Gu Wangchen was not there, so she handed over the silver horn to Gu Pozi. Gu Pozi accepted the silver slot in disgust, and read a bunch of poverty, saying how much it costs to stay in the provincial capital, how much it costs to eat, how much it costs to prepare gifts for Confucianism, and how much does it cost to give gifts to the guarantor, and repeatedly promised that this time, no matter whether Gu Wangchen can pass the exam or not, he will marry the original owner home.

The original owner was even happier when he thought that the old man said that she was blessed and had a great opportunity, and felt that he would definitely be able to be a lifter, and Gu Wangchen would definitely be able to be lifted. When she went home, she secretly found out the title deed and went to Yaxing to sell six acres of land......

Xu Lanyin felt that the old man was so stubborn and didn't want to take advantage of the original owner, not only the black veil grass could be worth some money, but also showed that the old man's character was very good, and the wooden cards and ointments he gave him might be of some use. She also knows that jasmine is a very common wild vegetable or herb in this world, which can be eaten, especially the fat and tender roots, which are liked by many people, and also have the medicinal properties of inflammation and diuretic. The old man meant that the two jasmine plants had mutated into black roots, which had a better medicinal effect.

She remembered that there was a mention of the Hundred Herbs Hall in the book, and the heroine once sent someone to buy medicine there, but she didn't say who the owner of the medicine hall was. The daughter of the Hou Mansion can go there to buy medicine, and the scale should not be small.

Also, the kind of medicine powder in his house was originally called "Luosan", and my husband even knew such a rare medicine, so he should have some real skills.

And the original owner was stupid and only thought about helping Gu Wangchen raise money, sold the land and suffered a few beatings, and the family was in a lot of trouble, Xu Lanyin tried his brains, and he couldn't remember where the original owner put those two things casually. You'll have to look for it when you get home, but don't lose it.

Thinking of the stupid original owner, Xu Lanyin hated Gu Wangchen even more. Such an infatuated and simple girl, how could he bear to be hurt and disappointed like that.

At noon, Xu Lanyin washed her hands, ate two sweet potatoes, and gave Hanako one to eat. Looking at the dog who ate less and did much more, she was very upset, and she said proudly, "Wait for my sister to make a lot of money, and buy you something delicious." ”

It was not until the sun set that Xu Lanyin hurriedly walked home.

She picked a large basket of common herbs such as hemp, mint, and plantain, picked a small bag of wild wolfberries and a few bunches of wild grapes, and picked up three wild eggs, a small pile of mushrooms, and some ground ears. In a group of bushes dug up a gastrodia, still nested, and four were born.

Although she was too tired to do it, she was overjoyed to have gained so much. Thinking in her heart, people's adaptability is infinite, where did she do such heavy work in her previous life, but now she not only does it in order to survive, but also has all her strength.

As soon as Xu Lanyin walked on the path behind the village, a young woman said to her, "Ouch, because of the girl, why did you come back, something happened to your family." ”

This Zhu family's in-laws are members of the Xu family, and they used to learn embroidery from the Qin family.

Xu Lanyin was taken aback and asked, "Sister-in-law Sanhe, what's wrong with my family?" ”

Sanhe's daughter-in-law said, "This morning, your pavilion boy suddenly fell ill and said that he was about to die, so Zhou Boy went to find your grandmother, and your grandmother asked Dashi to borrow my family's donkey cart to send them to the county hospital." Fortunately, it was delivered in time, and the doctor pricked the needle and woke up the pavilion boy. But the doctor said again that his foundation is not good, if he does not insist on taking medicine and not eating more good things, I am afraid that he will not live long. The boat boy was in a hurry, and he heard that he had a lot of nosebleeds, and he came all the way back......"

Xu Lanyin didn't listen to her words, so she ran home.

Before she could enter the door, she heard a woman's shouting from the courtyard, "...... It's all that shameless dead girl, eating inside and out, just thinking about raising a man before she gets married, stupidly ruining her family, and not caring about her brother's life or death. She hasn't come back yet, so she must have gone to the Gu family to send filial piety again. Ouch, my poor two grandsons, with such a shameless and ruined sister, how can they live......"

Xu Lanyin walked into the courtyard, and the old lady who scolded was Mrs. Xu, the grandmother of the original owner.

As soon as the old lady saw Xu Lanyin, she was angry and didn't scold anymore, so she picked up a broom and rushed over to beat people. Xu Lan was so frightened that she ran with her head in her hands, the small courtyard was not big, and she couldn't show it no matter how fast she ran, and she was beaten several times by the old lady, and it hurt very much on her body.

Xu Dashi and Xu Lanzhou looked at it coldly, and they didn't pull the frame, and stopped the screaming Huazi.

Xu Lanyin said as she ran, "Milk, stop fighting, I know it's wrong." I also had a fight with Mrs. Gu this morning, and I don't want to be the daughter-in-law of the Gu family anymore. I came back late because I picked up a lot of medicines, and I will sell them for more money tomorrow, and I will take back all the wild eggs and mushrooms I picked up to replenish my mother and brother......"

The old lady stopped and asked viciously, "What, you quarreled with that old girl, and you don't want to be her daughter-in-law anymore?" ”
