Chapter 24: It doesn't hurt to learn more
Mingyue thought about it, thought of several plans and rejected them one by one, and finally decided to make full use of the benefits given by nature, and rely on the mountains and water to eat the water.
In addition to picking thorny old buds to sell in the town every spring and raising rabbits at home for a long time, Mingyue also plans to expand the scale of Xiaoyuan's herb-digging business.
In order to add more input to the family, the former owner of Xiaoyuan had gone to Dr. Li to learn to identify herbs, but she only learned the identification of a few common herbs from Dr. Li at that time, so that over the years, she dug and dug up, and what she dug was always those that were not very valuable.
But during this time, Mingyue found several uncommon but relatively precious herbs in Nanshan, which made her itch so much that she couldn't dig them all up and sell them.
In addition to digging herbs, Mingyue of course also thought of a few other ways to make money, but at the moment, the only thing she could implement immediately was to dig herbs in Nanshan.
She was thinking about how to persuade her father to buy a medical book that recorded various herbs when the voices of her eldest aunt Mingju, her uncle Zheng Dachang, and Mrs. Zheng's Jin and her third uncle laughed in the courtyard.
Her third uncle was sincerely flattering Mrs. Zheng, "... You're better than my brother-in-law. Look at your neat movements, ordinary lads can't compare. β
Mrs. Zheng is a bold old lady who can ride a horse, can hunt, has a good body, eats a lot of food, and has a cool personality and loves to laugh.
"You little ghost, this mouth can't be smeared with honey." Mrs. Zheng laughed, and handed over the big green mule in her hand to Mingtang to be sent to the backyard for placement, "What about your mother?" It can't be in the stove room, right? β
Mingtang smiled, "I can't hide anything from you, my mother is not in the stove room." β
"She's just a worrying life." Mrs. Zheng, who has never taken care of the trivial matters at home since marrying her daughter-in-law, shook her head and walked towards the main house of the Ming family.
Halfway through, she suddenly turned a corner, "I'd better go to the East Wing to see Xiao Mingyue first." β
Mingyue heard the words and hurriedly got up to greet her, but before she could reach the door, Mrs. Zheng had already opened the curtain and walked in.
Mingyue hurriedly shouted "Grandma Zheng" and let her sit down on the kang.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and looked at Mingyue from head to toe, "The clothes are not bad, but there is a little jewelry missing." β
As she spoke, Mrs. Zheng took out a cloth bag from her arms.
The cloth bag opened, revealing a pair of glossy silver bracelets with garlic heads.
The bracelet is rough in workmanship, and it can't be compared with the jewelry that Mingyue has seen and worn in modern times, but in this era, in a rural place like Wulitun, the pair of bracelets that Mrs. Zheng took out is undoubtedly a super gift.
Mingyue didn't dare to accept it at all.
You must know that neither she nor the little original owner have bought any jewelry for them - Mingyue directly ignored the two coarse cloth head flowers that the little original owner hid as a baby, that kind of extremely ugly and vulgar thing, she would never admit that it was jewelry.
"Grandma Zheng, thank you, but this bracelet is too precious for me to accept." Mingyue very resolutely rejected Mrs. Zheng's move to put the bracelet on her hand, and in order to show her determination, she even took two steps back and stood far away from Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, "You girl, just your little arms and legs, if I want to force you, do you think you can run away?" β
Moon:...... Well, you old have achieved a total victory.
Although Mrs. Zheng is old, with Mrs. Zheng's skills, she is really not an opponent.
As soon as she thought of this, Mingyue suddenly had the idea of learning martial arts.
She doesn't expect herself to become a martial arts master, after all, she is a super rice worm who has been committed to making herself live a life of eating and waiting for death, and the heroine Goddess Ma is really not her style. She just wanted to strengthen her body and live as long and healthy as possible in this ancient world where the level of medical care was extremely backward.
Of course, if she can learn a few hands by the way, so that she has the ability to save herself in a critical moment, it will not be perfect.
Thinking so, Mingyue immediately changed her expression.
She looked at Mrs. Zheng with a blank eye, "Grandma Zheng, can you teach me to practice martial arts?" I want to be more flexible, so that when I go up the mountain in the future, it will be much less dangerous. β
As soon as Mingyue said this, Mrs. Zheng immediately thought of Mingyue's previous fall.
She agreed without even thinking about it, "What's wrong with this." Since you want to learn, your grandmother will let your eldest cousin come to your house once every ten days. β
Mingyue was overjoyed, she pulled Mrs. Zheng's sleeve and coquettishly, "I still want to learn to drive a car and learn to ride a mule." β
Mrs. Zheng laughed, "Then let your eldest cousin teach you slowly." β
The eldest cousin of Mingyue in Mrs. Zheng's mouth is Zheng Youyan, the eldest daughter of Ming Ju and Zheng Dachang, Zheng Youyan grew up with her grandmother since she was a child, not only has a temperament similar to Mrs. Zheng, but also learns Mrs. Zheng's skills ten out of ten.
She is fifteen years old this year, and if it weren't for Mrs. Zheng's reluctance to marry her granddaughter too early, she would have married into her fiancΓ©'s family in the same village.
Mingyue had a good impression of her eldest cousin, and couldn't help cheering when she heard this.
Mrs. Ming, who came over to entertain her old sister because she heard that Mrs. Zheng was coming, heard that Mingyue was so happy, and she couldn't help but smile on her face, and she asked her eldest granddaughter, "Why are you so happy?" β
Mingyue pulled Mrs. Ming and told Mrs. Ming about Mrs. Zheng's promise to teach her martial arts.
Mrs. Ming looked at Mingyue with a reproachful expression, "You kid, your Grandma Zheng learned the kung fu of their Jin family, why are you so ignorant?" β
Mrs. Zheng's father and brother are both dart masters, and she has been practicing martial arts with her father and brother since she was a child, and she has learned the unique kung fu passed down from the ancestors of the Jin family for generations.
"I said, aren't you just learning a little boxing? I agreed, which little Mingyue are you still training here. Mrs. Zheng pushed Mrs. Ming to sit on the kang, "I don't teach any of the children and grandchildren of the Zheng family, do you care about teaching a little more Mingyue?" β
Seeing Mrs. Ming's hesitant face, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but add, "Don't forget, this kid will have to set up a family in the future, and it doesn't hurt to learn more skills." No matter how reliable the husband is, Mingyue must be able to stand up by herself, so that this day can go on for a long time. β
Mrs. Ming couldn't help but fall silent.
"Then it's settled." Mrs. Zheng didn't give her a chance to regret it, and directly decided that her eldest granddaughter would come to Ming's house to teach Mingyue to practice martial arts in the future, "After today, you can also take the time to ask a few boys in your family." Including Jiayan's child, if anyone wants to learn, I'll let Youyan teach them together. Although you can't practice any martial arts heroes, it is not a problem to strengthen your body. β
Mrs. Ming was overjoyed.
A few Tao boys in the family are stained with the light of the bright moon.
She assured Mrs. Zheng in a loud voice; "Don't worry, I will tell them that they must not pass on your Jin family's kung fu to others."
Mrs. Zheng smiled and nodded, "I can't trust you?" β
What she didn't say was that even if she was honest and honest with the Ming family, she would never pass on the core secrets of the Jin family's kung fu. Even the Zheng family, who is her own son, daughter, grandson, and granddaughter, only taught those parts that could be taught. This is the rule she must follow as the daughter of the Jin family.
