Chapter Ninety-Six: Accumulate Virtue for Big Brother
[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Section 573
Wei Xinyong looked at Wen Yulan in front of him with interest, pointed to the steaming medicine bowl in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Do you know that this mountain ginseng here is at least more than 500 years old, if you take it out and exchange it for money, even if the world is chaotic now, it can also get a great wealth for your whole family?" ”
Wen Yulan was stunned: "So expensive?!" ”
"Daddy said that this is the treasure of the hundred-year-old pharmacy in the county, can it not be expensive?" Her little brother heard that Qi was holding a piece of caramel and eating it with relish next to him, and when he heard this, he stuffed the caramel into his mouth and said vaguely.
In the past few days of living in Chishuling, although it is said that the official language of the little brothers and sisters of the Wen family is still very twisted, Wei Xinyong's intelligence is really learned, and just by talking to their little brothers and sisters, he can already understand the local vernacular.
Now he has no problem communicating with people here, but he is depressed, and he does not have contact with people at all under the pretext that his health is not well. And although the people of Chishuling didn't know that he was the son of the Fengzhou Wei family, who was famous in the whole world, and he was also the Wei Liu master that the Xiliang Army and the Fengzhou soldiers were looking for, but just looking at the clothes he wore when he was rescued and the temperament of his conversation after waking up, he also knew that he was a nobleman.
After this noble man woke up, he didn't say to leave and didn't find someone to contact his family, and when he thought about it, he knew that there must be an inside story, and the so-called more thing is better than less thing, and he didn't dare to disturb him.
also heard Yu Lan, who was entangled every day without getting Wei Xinyong to let go once, but he was still enthusiastic. Every day, she dragged her little brother to run a few times, from sweet potatoes to rare meats for mountain people, but if there was anything she thought was good, she would stuff it to Wei Xinyong.
Wei Xinyong accepted or rejected according to her preferences, although she refused to accept apprentices, but occasionally taught her a few words, a passage of classics, and so on...... He felt that even if he didn't accept the apprenticeship of this little brother and sister, he didn't owe them anything. After all, even if the nobles in the country want him to personally guide his homework, not every family has this decency.
Even if there were, it was absolutely impossible to exchange a few sweet potatoes for a single teaching.
But today, he was very surprised to hear the bowl of medicine brought by Yu Lan - before he entered the house, he smelled the smell of at least five hundred years of mountain ginseng in the medicine.
He is too familiar with this kind of thing, not only from learning that Wei Qi died first and fell ill, but in countless cold nights of hard study, whenever he has a little savings, Hu Nu will buy it, boil soup and make tea, and nourish his body.
Although it was said that at that time, I definitely couldn't afford to buy a vintage that was too long, but later, after the situation was better, the tiger slave also began to pick the vintage to buy. In the days when she was sick in Fengzhou, Mrs. Song gave him several ginseng that was 500 years old or even almost formed, and if there was no accident, most of them are still in the hands of the tiger slaves.
He would never be wrong.
At this moment, after hearing Wen Zhiqi's words, Wei Xin nodded clearly: "Your father sent someone to send it?" He laid down Yongxian? Then smell the little girl, you stole it out and quietly boiled the medicine? This is very bad, not to mention that there was no mountain ginseng in the original prescription, but now it is added to it, although it has a nourishing effect, but it also messes up the medicinal effect; Besides, your father got such a small thing so easily, and the reason why it was sent to you is for its own use, and I am afraid that even your father's subordinates will hide it. But thou hast brought it to me, that thy father may know it, and thou shalt surely blame thee. ”
"I was taught by my husband, and I am not one of those people who don't know etiquette and shame!" Wen Yulan heard this, but her eyes widened, and she retorted unhappily, "How can I steal? This is Daddy, he personally gave it to his mother, let her boil the medicine, and let us send it over! ”
Wei Xinyong frowned and said, "Your father is back?" ”
"yes, and brought me caramel too!" Wen Zhiqi was elated next to him - this kid is different from his sister, he doesn't have too many ideas of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", the reason why he came to Wei Xinyong with Wen Yulan every day was half of it was pulled by Wen Yulan, and the other half was to listen to some allusions that Wei Xinyong occasionally told - he listened to it as a story.
At this moment, it seemed to be reminded, Wen Zhiqi grabbed another piece of caramel with his hands that had just played with mud and had not yet been washed, and enthusiastically handed it to Wei Xinyong, "Do you want to eat it?" It's so sweet, it's delicious! ”
Wei Xinyong shook his head and continued to ask Wen Yulan: "Why did your father do this?" ”
Wen Yulan stared at the piece of caramel for a moment before she looked away and said, "Daddy said that Mr. You are a scholar, and your body is almost weak." I passed out in the rain before, and the herbs that my mother dug in the mountains were not good for recuperation, so I had to take good medicine. ”
Wei Xinyong narrowed his eyes and said, "Really? Then your father has a good heart, but unfortunately I have no long-term wealth, and I have nothing to repay you. ”
"Sir, you look down on people!" Hearing Yu Lan's words, her little face suddenly turned red, and she said, "Although our family is poor, we will definitely not do such a thing as a coercion!" It's too humiliating for you to say that! ”
Wei Xinyong smiled silently, thinking that you, a little girl, may have no other thoughts except to worship me as a teacher and learn some literary affairs, but your father may not be able to count Chenguang, even if no one else comes to find him, Mo Binwei and Hu Nu will definitely come to find him. He belongs to Ruiyutang in name, and no matter how much Ruiyutang cares about himself, he can't help but be embarrassed...... Since Wen Yanzi is the leader of a group of uprisings in Panzhou, it has been a month or two since something happened, can he still hear some rumors?
If you hadn't guessed your identity, you wouldn't have to be a relative, but let's say that a character like Wen Lingzi who is still going around in the countryside is a rich place like Ruiyutang, and it's not a person who is sick, and he will send out a five-hundred-year-old ginseng - this thing is not a sweet potato!
He was silent, and when he heard Yulan, he thought he was regretting his words, so he said magnanimously: "Okay, Mr. don't say that kind of thing in the future, and I won't care about Mr.'s words...... But my husband said that ginseng can't be added to this medicine, so what should I do now? ”
Wei Xinyong glanced at Wen Yulan strangely, thinking that even in the mountains, such an enthusiastic little girl who has always been enthusiastic...... It's kind of weird - how can she think of anything good?
"The medicine is not in a hurry, you go back and find a piece of charcoal and paper, and I will write a prescription for you." If these people didn't know their identity, but generously gave up the 500-year-old ginseng, Wei Xinyong would not accept it, and he thought it would be difficult to afford such a great favor; But now it's eight times out of ten. Jiu guessed his origin, that is, there is a picture - this kind of kindness, he can return it when he turns back to his subordinates.
So this will no longer be wordy, and just accept it.
Wen Yulan didn't know that he was thinking so complicated, and he was about to run out to find what he wanted - this kind of mountain and wild place, it is impossible to think about the four treasures of the study, and even the paper is afraid to find it, and it is easy to find the charcoal.
It was only when she took a step that Wei Xinyong stopped her again: "Wait a minute." ”
Wen Yulan hurriedly stopped: "What else does Mr. have to order?" ”
"Wen Xiaoya, you go out first, I have something to ask Wen Xiaoxiao alone." Wei Xinyong already knows these days that "Xiao Yan" is the local name for little boys, but it is conceivable that their father Wen Yanzi is afraid that he does not even have a serious name.
Such a person, looking at the situation of his wife and children, is not much better than the mountain people of Chishuling, and he is willing to take a 500-year-old mountain ginseng...... What made Wei Xinyong look up to him a little was that although this Wen Lingzi had already arrived at Chishuling, he didn't show up, but just sent his children who came over every day to deliver medicine.
In other words, Wen Lingzi can't fully confirm Wei Xinyong's identity.
Even if the person looking for Wei Xinyong describes Wei Xinyong's characteristics in great detail, there are always accidents in this world.
Especially in this chaotic world now, maybe there are children of your family who are similar to Wei Xinyong who encountered an accident on a trip and happened to be saved by Qiu's mother and son?
Moreover, Wei Xinyong believes that the real reason for his disappearance this time is mostly unknown to Wen Yanzi.
Because his resentment towards Zhihondo could not be made public, his disappearance was either said to have been taken care of by bandits, or he was temporarily left the team due to the misfortune of the children of the Wei clan in Fengzhou...... All in all, after he sobered up, he didn't immediately ask the Qiu clan to try to contact the Fengzhou Wei clan or the Hunu people, which made no sense in the eyes of people who didn't know the inside story.
From this point of view, his identity as Wei Xinyong is questionable.
After all, if he is a clansman with a heart, even if he is an ordinary son of the lord, even if he suffers, he should try to go back immediately after waking up, so as not to worry the elders and do his best for the clansmen!
What's more, Wen Yanzi has never seen Wei Xinyong so far, just based on the descriptions of the two children who are not yet ten years old, even if you add the Qiu family - because of the difference between men and women, Wei Xinyong woke up and the two took a photo, still when Wen Zhiqi and Wen Yulan were present.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Qiu Shi excused himself to help the cousin of the Gu family cook, and left. After that, I didn't even say hello from afar.
Therefore, if you think about it carefully, Wen Yanzi is actually half and half sure of Wei Xinyong's true identity.
In this case, he dared to take out the mountain ginseng...... Although he still can't get into Wei Xinyong's eyes, he can be regarded as courageous.
However, Wei Xinyong's heart is still unresolved, and he is impatient to pay attention to these things, and only plans to give a generous gift as a reward in the future - of course, the Wen family's greatest kindness to him is not this mountain ginseng, but to save him from the field. However, Wei Xinyong had the idea of dying at that time, and he still hasn't thought about it.
For him, this life-saving grace is a mixture, and his gratitude is not deep.
Wei Xinyong changed his mind in his heart and sent Wen Zhiqi out, and when Wen Yulan was alone, he asked in a low voice, "Why did your father come back?" Didn't you hear that I was here? ”
Wen Yulan was surprised: "No, it's because our eldest brother was injured, and Daddy sent him here to recuperate." ”
Without waiting for Wei Xinyong to say anything, she seemed to remember something again, and said, "Oh, that mountain ginseng was originally brought over for the eldest brother." But after the mother waited for the eldest brother to settle down, she told Daddy about Mr., and Daddy said that he would also cut two slices for Mr. to use, and the right should be given to the eldest brother to accumulate virtue. ”
Wen Yulan felt that she had comprehended Wei Xinyong's meaning, and comforted him kindly: "Sir, don't be sad. Our eldest brother was injured a lot this time, and he was injured to save Daddy, so Daddy is very uncomfortable now, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to the side for the time being, so he didn't come to visit you! When the eldest brother's injury recovers, Daddy will definitely come to see you in person. Daddy usually respects readers the most, and often tells us, 'Everything is inferior, only reading is high'! At first glance, Mr. is a person who has read a lot of books! Daddy will definitely respect you! ”
Wei Xinyong: "..................!!! ”
Co-authored this 500-year-old ginseng, not specifically to honor and please me, but for fear that your eldest brother will accidentally be seriously injured and die, and give him some temporary virtue?!
