When I returned to the cave just in time for breakfast, Mingyue asked my eldest brother to help deal with the pheasants and rabbits, let my mother and third aunt pickle and dry them, and told my eldest brother to remember to peel off the rabbit skin and wash it and leave it, so I followed the fourth uncle Mingwenli and went down the mountain with the ginseng dug yesterday.

The two went to Zhang Langzhong's house first, and gave Aunt Zhang the two pheasants they had hunted this morning, Aunt Zhang and Grandma Zhang hadn't seen Mingyue come over for several days, so they naturally chatted endlessly with Mingyue, blaming Mingyue for not coming to see them much.

Mingyue embarrassedly let the two of them hold a hand and ask one sentence at a time, and it was rare that Grandma Zhang didn't shake her face with Aunt Zhang, and finally Zhang Langzhong came over to relieve Mingyue, "Okay, Yue'er's family must be very busy in this situation, don't pull her to talk first, I still have something to tell her." ”

Mingwenli asked her mother to greet Mingwenli to the front hall for tea, Mingyue was greeted by Zhang Langzhong alone and entered the pharmacy, and before Mingyue could speak, Zhang Langzhong took the first step and asked, "Do you really want to engage with that Li Yun?" ”

Mingyue smiled awkwardly and said, "Godfather also knows, grandma's master, I think it's not bad, the day before yesterday it was already the birthday of the eight characters decided." ”

Zhang Langzhong didn't know that it was Mingyue's own wishes, he could destroy Li Yun's reputation last time, he didn't think there was a problem, and from this time to get along with Mingyue, if it wasn't for her own willingness, Mingyue people might not be able to force her to comply.

Looking at Mingyue seriously, Zhang Langzhong opened his mouth and said, "Do you really want to be engaged?" Li Yun's leg, do you know, what if this can't be cured in a lifetime? ”

Mingyue's eyes were instantly filled with determination, "I will definitely heal his leg." ”

Seeing Mingyue's eyes so firm, Zhang Langzhong looked at Mingyue suspiciously, "Tell me honestly, did you know Li Yun before?" ”

At first, he also had doubts, but in the end he dispelled this idea, because he felt that it was impossible for Mingyue to know Li Yun.

But since I knew that Mingyue had a mysterious master, who could heal the legs of the young master of the Xu family, and could take a knife to cut the flesh and quickly sew it with a knife, there was nothing impossible, and I felt that it was very possible for Mingyue to know Li Yun.

Mingyue explained helplessly, "Godfather, I really didn't know him before, I don't believe you can ask Li Yun again, ask him if we have met." ”

Zhang Langzhong looked at Mingyue's expression, and was silent, sighed, and said helplessly, "Hey, since you are determined to marry her, let it be, then Li Yun is still good except for his leg disease." ”

Seeing that this matter was revealed, Mingyue hurriedly and carefully took out the ginseng wrapped in cloth from her arms, and said in her mouth, "Godfather, I went into the mountain with my fourth uncle yesterday and found a ginseng, you can see how much silver it can be worth." ”

Seeing the ginseng with the average thickness of the child's arm in front of him, Zhang Langzhong couldn't help but take a breath, such a big ginseng, it was the first time for him, his eyes stared at the ginseng without blinking, and he took it carefully, and muttered in his mouth, "Baby, such a big ginseng, I'm afraid it's been hundreds of years." ”

Mingyue heard Zhang Langzhong's words and said excitedly, "Isn't that valuable?" ”

Zhang Langzhong listened to Mingyue's question, thought for a while, and said, "If you go to Yanjing to sell it, maybe it can be sold for a sky-high price, and if it is in Linzi County, it can be sold for a few thousand taels at most." ”

Mingyue listened to Zhang Langzhong's words, her heart was already bubbling with beauty, she didn't know where Yanjing was, but she didn't have so much energy to go to Yanjing to sell a ginseng, at that time, I was afraid that the Ming family would starve to death, and it could be sold for a few thousand taels, for them now, it was already a sky-high price, and Mingyue was already very satisfied.

Mingyue looked at Zhang Langzhong expectantly, "Does Godfather know which pharmacy in the county is more powerful?" ”

Looking at Mingyue's expression, Zhang Langzhong knew that Mingyue was afraid that he was going to sell this ginseng, although he felt a little pity in his heart, he still responded, "I'll go with you, I still have some friendship with the shopkeeper of Baicaotang." ”

"Baicaotang?" Mingyue opened her mouth suspiciously, "Does it have anything to do with that collection of herbs?" ”

A faint light flashed in Zhang Langzhong's eyes, and then he said, "Baicaotang has existed for hundreds of years, even if it is a change of dynasty, Baicaotang can still stand, and that Baicaoshu is said to have been compiled and issued by the ancestors of Baicaotang and his disciples for many years. ”

Mingyue nodded clearly, "So that's the case, it seems that the ancestors of this Baicaotang should be very powerful." ”

Zhang Langzhong didn't seem to want to mention this topic again, so he carefully handed back the ginseng in his hand to Mingyue, urging, "Since you want to go to the county seat, then hurry up, hurry up and pack up, let's leave early." ”

Mingyue collected the ginseng and said, "We have to go to Li Yun's house first, find Li Yun's uncle Li Qiang, he is in the grain business, and ask him about the recent grain situation." ”

Speaking of food, Zhang Langzhong couldn't help frowning, his family also has no land, he lives by buying grain, this grain has a price a day, and he can't be clearer that it rises every day, but fortunately he found out that something was wrong, and he bought more grain early, but he could still last for a while.

Thinking about the Ming family now, there are so many people, and the price of food has risen sky-high, I am afraid that it is very difficult to live.

Mingyue saw Zhang Langzhong's worry on his face, so he smiled and comforted, "Godfather, don't worry, our family has prepared some food, and we can manage it for a month or two, besides, isn't there still this ginseng?" Just wait for it to sell for a good price and buy more food. ”

Thinking of the ginseng in Mingyue's hand, Zhang Langzhong also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this ginseng is worth some silver, and with silver money in hand, he can always buy some food back.

The three of them first went to rent an ox cart and then went to Dalu Village.

As soon as I entered the gate of the courtyard of the Li family, I saw that Mrs. Li was still sitting in the courtyard, squinting her eyes and lazily knocking her paws, and when she saw someone entering the courtyard door, she raised her slightly squinted eyelids and took a look, and when she saw that it was Mingyue, she showed a rare smile, raised her body slightly and beckoned to Mingyue, "The moon girl is here?" Come to my side. ”

Zhang Langzhong looked at the scene in front of him, and didn't understand when this girl was so familiar with Mrs. Li.

Mingyue had to smile first and greet her, "Hello Grandma Li." ”

Mrs. Li grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Mingyue's hand, and complained in her mouth, "Didn't you say that you would come to see me often?" How? Did you turn around and forget about the old woman? ”

When this old lady Li saw Mingyue, she completely ignored the other two people at the door, and only pulled Mingyue to greet warmly.

Mingyue glanced at the godfather and fourth uncle who were still standing at the door, and replied with an embarrassed smile, "Where is it, didn't I come to see you?" ”

Li Qiang heard the movement in the courtyard outside in the house, and finally came out to relieve the embarrassment of the two at the door, "Zhang Langzhong and Brother Wenli are here, sit in the house quickly." Yue'er is also here? Your grandmother Li still chatters every day, complaining that you don't come to see her. ”

Zhang Langzhong and Ming Wenli were beckoned by Li Qiang into the front hall and sat down, called Wu to boil water to make tea, and asked, "Is Zhang Langzhong here to show my Li Yun's legs?" It's really troublesome for Zhang Langzhong these years. ”

Zhang Langzhong smiled awkwardly and said, "No, it's the moon girl who is looking for you with Wenli because of something, so I will come with me." ”

This leg cure, I can't see what the problem is after treating it for a few years, Zhang Langzhong plans to hand over this matter to Mingyue, maybe with Mingyue's ability, it may not be possible to cure Li Yun's leg.

Li Qiang heard that Ming Wenli was looking for him, so he turned his head and said suspiciously, "What is Brother Wenli looking for me?" ”

Ming Wenli raised his hand politely, and without beating around the bush, he asked directly, "There are some things I want to ask Brother Li, the price of grain has risen sharply recently, and Brother Li is doing these businesses, do you know what the situation is here?" ”

At this time, Mingyue also coaxed Grandma Li, came over and stood behind Ming Wenli, and listened quietly.

Li Qiang heard that he was asking about food, so he also sighed and said, "I just heard about it, and suddenly a few foreign businessmen came, collecting grain everywhere in Linzi and the surrounding counties, regardless of the price, so these big grain merchants in the surrounding counties raised the price of grain as soon as they totaled, and never thought that those merchants would receive it no matter how much the price rose, so the price of grain rose to sky-high prices, and the grain in my shop was almost sold, and if it went on like this, I was afraid that my own food would not be enough to eat. They all closed their doors. ”

Mingyue interjected, "Then does Uncle Li have a way to buy food?" ”

Li Qiang responded, "After all, after all these years of rice and noodle shop, there are still some ways, but the price will definitely not be low." ”

Mingyue said, "It's good to be able to buy food, our family wants to have more food, and we have to trouble Uncle Li to help build a line." ”

Li Qiang responded, "Okay, I just want to buy some more food, why don't I go to the county seat with you today." ”

This matter is exactly what Mingyue and the others want, and Ming Wenli saluted and thanked him, "Thank you Brother Li so much." However, why didn't I see Li Yun when I came? Ming Wenli finally talked about the point of his coming to the Li family today, and to meet who Li Yun was.

Li Qiang smiled apologetically at Ming Wenli, "Li Yun's legs and feet are inconvenient, and he is in his own room in the backyard." ”

Ming Wenli secretly said that he was stupid, and he actually forgot about Li Yun's paralysis, and said in his mouth, "Since I have come, I must see him, and I ask Brother Li to lead the way." ”

Li Qiang must have understood the meaning of this clear courtesy, and he must have wanted to see what his nephew was like.

Although Li Yun doesn't like to see outsiders, but this person is Mingyue's fourth uncle, I'm afraid he can't shirk it, anyway, Li Yun has already agreed, everything is up to him, then bring it over to see.

So Li Qiang smiled and said, "Brother Wenli, please come with me." With that, he got up and went to the backyard.

Ming Wenli got up behind Li Qiang, Mingyue followed behind Ming Wenli busily, Zhang Langzhong looked at Mingyue's movements, shook his head helplessly, and did not follow, but picked up the teacup and took a sip.
