Chapter 198: The Old Man Visits
After a while, Zhang Bingru stood at the door of the medicinal herb shop with the wrapped ginseng, very unhappy in his heart.
He is a scholar, and he owes a hundred taels of snowflake silver to a descendant because of the purchase of ginseng, which is uncomfortable after all.
"When you are busy, come to the house and sit down, and ask Leng Wan to give you the money to buy ginseng."
After thinking about it, Zhang Bingru still added.
Although he doesn't have much money, Leng Wan has it.
That girl can do business well wherever she goes, and she has a lot more money in her hand than herself.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, or I'll send my husband home today and meet an old friend by the way."
With a roll of his eyes, Gu Xiaoxianggong proposed.
He had been thinking about Leng Wan for a long time, and he had chased her from Shimizu Village to Kyoto for her.
It's a pity that he is still too naïve, and the size of Kyoto is far from being comparable to a Shimizu Village.
So after looking for a long time in Kyoto, he didn't even hear the slightest trace of Leng Wan.
Today, if it weren't for the sudden outbreak of an old illness, he took the prescription that Leng Wan had prescribed before to buy medicine, and he might not have met Zhang Bingru.
Finally having this opportunity, Gu Xiaoxianggong was determined to find out where Leng Wan lived now.
The twists and turns in this, Zhang Bingru is not clear at all.
He just heard Gu Xiaoxianggong say that he had a carriage, and if he went home, he could save half of the journey and send the ginseng back faster, so he agreed to this request.
The two boarded the carriage together, and Gu Xiaoxianggong had been talking with Zhang Bingru along the way.
"Leng Wan has lost weight when she comes in?"
"Did she eat well?"
"When did you come to Kyoto? What have you been doing all this time?"
There were too many questions at once, and even Zhang Bingru was silent.
"Housheng, what did you ask...... Too careful, huh?"
is as dull as Zhang Bingru in human relations, and he has noticed that something is wrong.
"Is there one? Maybe it's been a long time, and I miss my friends."
Gu Xiaoxianggong smiled and said a little far-fetched.
In the second half of the journey, Zhang Bingru pretended to sleep, and the two did not speak again.
Hearing the sound of a carriage at the door of the small courtyard, Fu Jiulan sensed that something was wrong.
"The teacher probably won't ride in a carriage."
is no longer a scholar, Zhang Bingru uses money more economically, it seems that he is afraid that his life in his later years will be too shabby.
So when you go out to buy medicine, you probably don't need to take a carriage for this kind of journey.
Turning his head and Leng Wan glanced at each other, both of them looking nervous.
"It can't be Jiang Yuerong's person, right?"
As soon as this conjecture was raised, both men immediately got up.
Before they could get back into the house, the courtyard was opened.
"Come in, Housheng, this is where we live."
Because of a ginseng, Zhang Bingru's attitude towards Gu Xiaoxianggong is much better.
followed Zhang Bingru into the courtyard, his eyes kept looking back and forth at the grass and trees here.
It wasn't until his eyes fell on Leng Wan that he paused.
I haven't seen her for a long time, she seems to have lost a lot of weight, and her waist, which used to be relatively round, is now thin and Yingying is gripping, which is really distressing.
Looking at Gu Xiaoxianggong's greedy gaze that fell on Leng Wan, Fu Jiulan's heart suddenly swelled up with a very uncomfortable feeling.
He walked straight over and stood directly in front of Leng Wan.
With no place to stay, Gu Xiaoxianggong had no choice but to take it back.
"Gu Hong, what are you doing in Kyoto?" Fu Jiulan asked directly.
"Study."
With a hint of a smile, Gu Xiaoxianggong quietly looked at Leng Wan again and said.
may be affected by the mood of the original owner, every time Gu Xiaoxiang stares at her with a public expression, Leng Wan always feels sour in her heart.
She didn't like it, so she went back
Fu Jiulan dodged behind him.
"You two have to entertain this distinguished guest today, this ginseng can be bought, it is all thanks to Gu Gongzi."
Seeing that his stupid student and Gu Xiaoxianggong were tense, Zhang Bingru hurriedly stepped forward and took out the thing wrapped in red cloth in his arms.
Unexpectedly, this time the ginseng turned out to be Gu Xiaoxiang's money, and Fu Jiulan was even more unhappy in his heart.
"How much does this ginseng cost?" We will give it back to him." He spoke.
"No more, no less, three hundred taels!"
After gesturing at Fu Jiulan, Zhang Bingru said in an exaggerated tone.
In the past, in the palace, everything was served, and Zhang Bingru never knew that firewood, rice, oil, and salt were expensive.
Now that he is out of the palace and has no source of life, he realizes how hard the lives of ordinary people are.
Hearing about three hundred taels, Fu Jiulan was suddenly speechless.
Originally, he wanted to take out the money directly and give it to Gu Xiaoxianggong to save his debts, but he couldn't take out so much money for a while, so he had to turn his head to look at Leng Wan.
Receiving Fu Jiulan's eyes asking for help, she shook her head with a cold smile, and walked into the house by herself.
After a while, she came out with a silver ticket.
"Gu Xiaoxianggong, I used to be taken care of in Qingshui Village, but today in Kyoto, it is difficult for you to buy ginseng for Old Master Zhang. This money is a little heart, and I hope you will accept it."
Leng Wan's silver ticket is 500 taels, which is 200 taels more than the money to buy ginseng.
Gu Xiaoxianggong shook his head desperately while retreating, he always felt that Leng Wan wanted to use money to draw a line with himself.
"No, don't give me money. The reason why I took this trip was just ...... It's just ......."
The more he talked about the back, the more Gu Xiaoxianggong stammered.
"Just what?"
Frowning, Leng Wan was very puzzled by his appearance.
"I just want to see my old friend."
Summoning up his courage, Gu Xiaoxianggong finally blushed and said his words.
For a long time, no one spoke in the courtyard, only Fu Jiulan had a dark face, staring at him with a secretive gaze.
In this atmosphere, Gu Xiaoxianggong was almost suffocated, so he asked, "Excuse me...... Can I stay and eat?"
"Absolutely." Zhang Bingru ran out to be a good person at this time.
Still frowning, Leng Wan seemed to be thinking about something.
She didn't expect this Gu Xiaoxianggong to be such an affectionate person, chasing him all the way from Qingshui Village to Kyoto.
It's a pity that this affection is too heavy, and she can't afford it, so she still has to find a chance to make it clear.
"Is that okay?"
Gu Xiaoxianggong looked at Leng Wan and asked pitifully.
Sighing, she said softly, "Let's stay and eat."
With that, she turned and walked towards the kitchenette.
I haven't been back for a few days, and I don't know what dishes are left in the kitchen, so if I want to entertain guests, I can't be too shabby.
"Teacher, please help watch the child, I'll help the lady make a fire and cook."
Glancing at Gu Xiaoxianggong deeply, Fu Jiulan directly crossed him and said to Zhang Bingru.
"Go, go, go."
Waving his hand with satisfaction, Zhang Bingru said with a smile.
