Chapter 58: Worrying about your son and planning for the long term

Mo Shi rolled his eyelids, and said nonsense without changing his face and without panic: "This is your loneliness!" I said it all, this is a good thing from Jiangnan! The girls in Jiangnan know how to dress up, these colors are all beautiful, you haven't seen the world, don't say that other people's things are not good! ”

Mo's justification really had an effect, which woman doesn't love beauty or comparison, the woman who was still questioning just now took out the money, and said angrily: "What's so great about Jiangnan, bring me three boxes of rouge!" ”

Mo's eyes rolled, "I think you know the goods!" One box is fifty yuan, this eldest sister buys three boxes, and I will count you as one hundred and forty yuan! ”

Within an hour, the rouge gouache in Mo's basket was sold out, and Mo's money bag was already full of copper coins, so happy that she almost couldn't find the north.

Mo Shi glanced in the direction of Fu Xiaojiu, and pouted unconvinced, "Hmph, wait for the old lady to get rich, see what you are still angry about!" ”

When Mo was about to go back, Wan Pozi noticed her again, and found that she was carrying the basket easily with one hand, and her steps were also very brisk, thinking that her rouge gouache was selling really well, and it would be a good thing if the second family could also make a fortune.

But Wan Pozi doesn't know what, she always feels a little unsteady in her heart.

She took a breath and told herself that she should be a little tired from the lottery just now, and seeing that the life of the second family is about to get better, she shouldn't think about it.

Fu Xiaojiu's lottery in the open space in the east of the village also attracted Li Zheng's attention, and when Fu Xiaojiu wanted to close the stall, Li Zheng came over.

Li is in his fifties, usually more Buddhist, and he doesn't have much to do with the villagers.

Li Zheng is also a little close to Old Man Wan's family, but he has already come out of the five suits, and the relationship is a little farther away.

He came to Fu Xiaojiu with a smile and said to her: "Wanlin daughter-in-law, you have superb medical skills and a kind heart, which is really a blessing for the villagers." However, this vacant land is a common place in the village, and if you occupy this medical practice, I am afraid it is a little inappropriate. ”

Fu Xiaojiu was busy with the lottery, and he didn't think about it so thoroughly for a while.

Wan Lin has already gone back, and now only Wan Pozi can help Fu Xiaojiu get an idea.

Wan Pozi listened to Li Zheng's words, and instantly understood what he meant, and said politely to Li Zheng: "You are right, it is indeed not suitable for us to occupy this place. But we're only borrowing this place once today, so we promise not to use it again in the future, so we're leaving! ”

Li Zheng looked at the mother and son as if they didn't understand what they meant, and hurriedly said: "There are so many people who come to see Wanlin's daughter-in-law, I'm afraid you can't fit it at home, right?" Isn't Wan Lin still going to study? With so many people going to see a doctor at home, isn't it going to disturb the tranquility of Wanlin's study? I think it's okay to do this, you will sit here in the future, and give the village half a rent every month, so that you will have a place to treat people, and you will not be afraid of people saying that you have occupied the public house. ”

Fu Xiaojiu hurriedly calculated, half a hanging money is five hundred Wen, that is, half a tael of silver.

The rent of this half a tael of silver is not much for Fu Xiaojiu.

However, although the open space in the village is large, she can only set up a table and chairs, and she can directly prescribe medicine for medical treatment, and she can't always move all the medicinal materials every day.

Although Wan Feizhi has been learning from her for a while, there are many kinds of medicinal materials, and Wan Feizhi can't rest assured that she can't stay at home alone to grab medicine without her help.

Considering this situation, Fu Xiaojiu had no choice but to express her concerns to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng listened, and a look of disappointment clearly flashed in his eyes.

"It's okay, you're still thoughtful. It's not too early this day, so you can pack up and go back. ”

Fu Xiaojiu nodded and began to clean up.

At this time, Li Zheng called Wan Pozi aside, lowered his voice and said to her, "How is the tiger bone wine sold?" How much tiger bone wine can the third daughter-in-law make? ”

Wan Pozi immediately replied: "There are only a few pieces of tiger bone wine, but a piece of tiger bone wine can make several catties of wine." It's just that I don't know the price yet, if you want to buy it, I'll ask Fu Xiaojiu to set aside a few catties for you. ”

Li Zheng waved his hand, "It's not that I want tiger bone wine. It's a nephew who has found an official in the capital, and he doesn't have any acquaintances in the capital, so we can't afford to rely on money alone. I wondered if I could get some tiger bone wine, this thing is precious, and it would be good to use it for dotting. ”

"Your nephew has already made a Beijing official?" Wan Pozi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Li Zheng smiled a little proudly, "Actually, it's just a sesame petty official." He has no background, and he has waited for many years to wait for such a vacancy. ”

Wan Pozi had heard that Li Zheng's nephew's family moved to Jiangnan a few years ago, and the child read well, seven or eight years ago, he was lifted by people, and a letter came to Li Zheng at that time, Li Zheng knew about his lift, and specially set up a banquet in the village.

didn't think about it, Li Zheng's nephew never went up to the exam after he was raised, and he wanted to be an official to do it, so he waited for all these years, and he almost had to run for four before he got a sesame petty official in the capital.

Wan Pozi was suddenly a little disappointed when she heard this, and she was always afraid that Wan Lin would also end up like this.

There are so many students who take the exam, if you want to be named on the final gold list, what a powerful character you have to be, unless Wan Lin can go lucky and get the emperor's appreciation in person, otherwise it is more difficult for a poor student like Wan Lin to make a name for himself in the officialdom than to ascend to the sky.

Wan Pozi thought about it and lost her mind, and Li Zheng called her, and she came back to her senses.

"Wait, I'll ask you."

Wan Pozi already has selfish intentions, and she doesn't even want Fu Xiaojiu to sell tiger bone wine anymore.

If tiger bone wine is used for dotting up and down, it is indeed rarer than gold and silver.

Fu Xiaojiu said that one pound of tiger bone wine can normally buy one or two pieces of silver, even if you don't concoct all the tiger bones into wine, I'm afraid you can concoct a thousand eight hundred catties.

If it was usual, after Wan Pozi calculated this account, she would definitely be happy, but Wan Pozi didn't have the heart to think about getting rich at this time, and said nervously: "When others ask about it in the future, you can't say that." It is only said that the tiger bone wine is only about 100 catties. ”

Fu Xiaojiu didn't understand what Wan Pozi meant, Wan Pozi had already gone back to Lizheng's words, telling him that the tiger bone wine was less than 100 catties at most.

Li Zheng's family is considered a wealthy family, but a pound of tiger bone wine for one or two pounds of silver is also a high price for him, Li Zheng nodded, and said to Wan Pozi: "Then I will book a fifty pound tiger bone bar first." ”

Hearing that Li Zheng only needed fifty catties of tiger bone wine, Wan Pozi breathed a sigh of relief, "Come on, I'll remember it for you." However, you will have to pay a deposit upfront. ”

"Then I'll give you a deposit of five taels of silver first." As he spoke, he took out five taels of silver from his money bag.

Wan Pozi took the silver with joy, and said in her heart that the foundation of the Li Zheng family was really thick.

Li Zheng's two sons and a nephew by his side are also studying, and in terms of age, one of his eldest grandsons and this nephew are going to participate in the college examination with Wan Lin.

Wan Pozi felt that Li was thinking long-term, and he was helping his nephew like this, maybe it was to pave the way for his son and nephew.

If Wan Lin can really participate in the palace examination in the capital, Wan Pozi also plans to find a way for Wan Lin, even if he doesn't stay in the capital to be a Beijing official, he has to let Wan Lin be an official.

Fu Xiaojiu didn't know Wan Pozi and thought so far, she just wanted to make money as soon as possible so that she could go to the county to work hard.

Because tomorrow is the market, she decided to go to the county seat the day after tomorrow.

Fu Xiaojiu went home and was busy until late.

As soon as she returned to the house, Wan Lin pulled her to sit down on the edge of the bed, saying that she had something to discuss with her.

"I was proud of my youth at that time, and I passed the Tongsheng exam early. If it weren't for the fact that my mother was afraid that I would be too arrogant, and pressed me to wait for me to be sixteen before I took the Xiucai exam, I am afraid that I would be able to be a Xiucai in thirteen or fourteen. But I didn't expect that I suddenly fell ill before I took the Xiucai exam, and this disease was sick for four years. ”

"When I was studying in the school before, I was classmates with Wan Kai, the eldest son of the Li Zheng family, and Wan Zhang, nephew. It's just that their qualifications are ordinary, but they both won the show last year, and now they are all studying in the school hall in the county. If I win the show this year, we will be classmates again. ”

Fu Xiaojiu didn't know why Wan Lin suddenly said this, and asked strangely: "Why did you suddenly mention these two people?" ”

Wan Lin smiled helplessly, "They are resting today, and they came to our house in the afternoon, and they don't believe me when they see that I am well." They said that I used to be classmates, and I'm afraid we will be classmates again. They also said that I have a capable lady like you, and I will not worry about the money for studying in the future, and I can study with peace of mind. ”

"So what?" Fu Xiaojiu still didn't understand.

Wan Lin continued: "Tomorrow is Wan Kai's birthday, he wants to invite me over, and he also said that the people who are married will take their families with them, so that you family members can also get to know each other. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said with a sad face: "But tomorrow is the market, I want to go to the market for a visit, I'm afraid I won't have time to pass." ”

Wan Lin said expectantly: "The market will disperse after noon." Lady, you rest at home in the afternoon, he only starts the banquet in the evening, let's go over at that time. ”

Fu Xiaojiu saw that Wan Lin had expectation in his eyes, and knew that he had not been in contact with students like him for all these years, so he would inevitably feel lonely.

In order not to ruin Wan Lin's fun, Fu Xiaojiu smiled understandingly, "Since the banquet will be held in the evening, then I will accompany you." I just want to see what the main family is like. ”

Wan Lin looked happy and made a gesture to Fu Xiaojiu: "What a hard lady!" ”

However, Fu Xiaojiu frowned slightly, "It's no problem for me to accompany you." It's just that I'm afraid that I'll be ridiculed by other people's graceful ladies like this, so you're not afraid that I'll embarrass you? ”

Wan Lin immediately grabbed Fu Xiaojiu's shoulders and hooked his lips slightly, "Of course I'm afraid." But what I'm afraid of is that they know that you are so good at medicine, and they will line up to hug your thighs and beg you to heal them! ”

Fu Xiaojiu pushed Wan Lin away and lay on the bed trickfully, "If that's the case, I won't be exhausted to death?" I don't think I'm going. ”
