Chapter 163: Selling Ginseng
When Wu Chunsheng heard his son's words, his eyebrows moved twice, and then he smiled very calmly, "You, I asked you what you thought just now, but you didn't say it." Why do you think of Yunxue now? It's not like you're optimistic about her, are you? ”
Yuxiang's face turned red all of a sudden, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "Dad, I didn't mean that, but as soon as you said it, I remembered Cousin Yunxue." Dad also knew that I could still talk to my cousin in this village, and I didn't have anything else to think about. Yuxiang paused for a moment, and then said, "At that time, we were in the south, didn't the master next to the young master say it?" Cousins are not easy to marry, and it is easy to give birth to fools. There are many places to the south, and almost the whole village is full of fools, and it is these cousins and cousins who have made trouble. Dad, I don't have that kind of mind. ”
Chunsheng looked at his son's embarrassed appearance and felt funny, "Yes, at that time, the people in the house still said that the master was talking nonsense, but my father also thought that maybe he had a point." Yun Xue is indeed a good one, but your grandfather's family and Yun Xue are too stiff, let's go back to the village, or rely on your grandfather's connections. So since you don't have that mind, it's the best. ”
"Our family and Yunxue's side are relatives, and this can't be changed. You are cousins and sisters, and they all say that this aunt and uncle broke the bones and tendons, and will help Yunxue a little more in the future. You're the boss, you should pay the most attention to these things, you know? Chunsheng instructed his son.
"Okay, since you don't have anything else to think about, then let your mother give you Zhang Luo's family affairs, in the nearby villages, there are good girls, and my father is still waiting to hold his grandson." Chunsheng smiled, this topic is over.
It happened that Yun Zhen brought two fish into the door at this time, "Uncle, we went to the river today to catch a few fish and sent you two." As soon as Yun Zhen entered the gate, he saw the father and son of the Wu family, and naturally handed the fish to Chunsheng.
"Yo, such a big fish, you keep it for yourselves to eat, what are you sending here? It's not easy for you. Chunsheng was a little embarrassed and didn't catch the fish.
"Look at what my uncle said, we boys all grow up in the water, and catching a few fish is like playing, and it doesn't take any effort at all. There are still a lot of them at home, and this thing can't be eaten as a meal, just eat a fresh one once in a while. Isn't it possible that my uncle dislikes it? Yun Zhen didn't care about that, and directly stuffed the fish into Chunsheng's hand.
"That uncle is cheeky, and he really hasn't eaten fish for a long time. Your two cousins are landlubbers and can't go into the water, and we don't have the time to go to town to buy them. Okay, then thank you Yun Zhen in advance. When Chunsheng saw this, he happily accepted the fish, "The child and her mother, the eldest nephew has sent the fish, you quickly pack up and stew, and the eldest nephew will be left here to eat at noon." He shouted into the room.
Han Yue'e came out of the house with an apron, and smiled when she saw Yun Zhen, "It's Yun Zhen here, hurry up, come into the house and sit." As he spoke, he took the fish from her husband's hand, "Let's eat here at noon, it's just time that the rice is ready." ”
"Auntie, I won't eat here, my eldest sister at home has also cooked, and today is also a fish stew at noon. Come back another day. Auntie, I'll go first. Yun Zhen said goodbye to Han Yue'e, turned around and walked out.
"Yun Zhen, wait, is there enough food at home? If it's not enough, my aunt has it here, just come and get it. That's what your uncle used to do, and he went out to sell a lot of rice and grain a while ago, and our family doesn't lack this, so if you have difficulties, just talk. Yue'e shouted behind Yun Zhen.
"Thank you, auntie, the food at home is enough, auntie should keep a little more, now the new grain has not come down." Yun Zhen turned around and thanked him before leaving.
"These children in the second brother's family are all promising, and I don't know what our father and mother think, so they just kicked out such a good child. The head of the family, Yuxiang, went over to help them do some work when he was free, the family is all children, it is not easy. Han Yue'e sighed and said.
"Do you still need to say that? We live so closely, we are neighbors, we should all reach out to help, let alone relatives. Chunsheng saw that the fish in his wife's hand was still struggling, so he simply took it again, "I'll help you kill the fish, or you girls won't have the strength to do it, and you will have to work a lot." So saying, he threw the fish to the ground, and the fish was stunned, and naturally it could not move.
Over there, Yuxiang helped bring pots and scissors and other things, and the three of them worked together to help deal with the fish.
Han Yue'e looked at the scene in front of her with great relief, her husband was an orphan, she had to do everything since she was a child, and she had not suffered any grievances over the years since she married him. Under the guidance of her husband, the son did not have the arrogance of other boys, and was very willing to help with the work. In the future, if there is a virtuous daughter-in-law in the family, there will be more hope for this day.
Yue'e looked up at the front, it was the Han family. Yun Xue and Yun Ni are both good, and they originally had the intention of kissing and kissing. I mentioned it to my husband a few days ago, but my husband didn't agree, saying that it was good to get along like this in front of me, and if I had to get my niece over to be my daughter-in-law, I might not be able to get along well in the future. Yue'e thinks about it, as an aunt, she is naturally tolerant of her niece. But being a mother-in-law is two different things for her daughter-in-law, one is not good, but it is bad for the relationship between aunt and nephew.
That's it, let's find another daughter-in-law for my son, it's a big deal to take care of the Han family more in the future. I am Yun Xue's elders, waiting for a few children to be filial, and I help Yun Xue choose a good husband, which is better than anything else. With her mind set, Yue'e no longer bothered about these, and when she saw that her husband and son had killed the fish, she hurriedly carried it to the kitchen and stewed it.
On July 18, Yun Xue and Yun Zhen went out to the state city early in the morning. They were going to sell the biggest mallet, though there would be people in the village who would come to collect it, just like yesterday. But Yun Xue didn't want to make a noise, their family was different from others, and they didn't have the support of their elders to be backers, so if someone had bad intentions, it was always bad.
However, with the example of comparison, Yun Xue is quite confident in the mallet she dug by herself. This time I sold it for money, I should think about what to do, I really don't understand this, let's go back and discuss it with Grandma Zhong or Auntie.
It was still near dusk when they arrived in the state city, and this time, the Yunxue sisters and brothers went directly to Baicaotang. The shopkeeper Shen of Baicao Hall was very happy when he saw Sister Yunxue, "Miss Han, I was still trying to find the girl, I sent Lingzhi back to the capital a few days ago, and I went to meet the third prince once." The third prince was very worried about the girl, he was too busy now, and there were many things to do, so he asked him to bring a letter back and give it to the girl. ”
As the shopkeeper Shen spoke, he quickly took out a letter from the bookcase and handed it to Yun Xue. "The pharmacy has been very busy these days, and many people have gone into the city to grab medicine, so I am also busy and have no time to visit the girl, but I didn't expect the girl to come."
Yun Xue was a little strange, they also saw someone injured on the road, and they were hurriedly carrying it to the doctor. "Shopkeeper, what the hell is going on?"
"Well, what else could it be? Isn't it Gao Li on the other side of us, the south side of Gao Li is fighting with Dongyi, and the people of Gao Li are fleeing to the north. Where is the food for them to eat? Isn't this the bud rice on our side can already gnaw green at this time, and there are a large number of Gao Li people who cross the river at night to steal the bud rice. Isn't this a fight, and many people on our side have been injured. Alas, the years are chaotic, and now not only our side, but also the Yuan Kingdom and the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north are also ready to move, and the border is in an emergency. In the court, no one cares about this, alas. Shopkeeper Shen shook his head and sighed as he spoke.
When Yun Xue heard this, she was shocked, on the opposite side of the fifteen ditches, there were also Koreans. Although the number of people is smaller than that on the other side of the state city, I don't dare to say what to do now, but I have to go back and see it quickly, even if it's okay, we have to take precautions in advance.
"Shopkeeper, this time, we got a ginseng from the mountains, I want to ask the shopkeeper if you want it, you see?" Yun Xue was a little anxious, so she didn't chat with the shopkeeper anymore, and directly stated her purpose.
"Oh? Ginseng? I don't know what it looks like, I naturally took it, and asked the girl to take it out and let me take a look at it. When Shopkeeper Shen heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. The last time Lingzhi was sent to the capital by him, it was sold for 1,000 taels, which is a big profit.
Yun Xue took out the ginseng wrapped in moss, and she gently opened the moss to let the shopkeeper look at the ginseng inside.
The shopkeeper Shen had been staring at the moss, and when the ginseng inside was completely exposed, he exclaimed, "God, I have never seen such a big ginseng tree in the world." I'm afraid this ginseng will have more than six or seven taels, girl, wait a minute, I'll go to Jizi and weigh it. ”
Shopkeeper Shen hurriedly walked out, and came back with a pole in his hand after a while. He put the ginseng on it and weighed it, and it was not only seven taels, but eight and a half. Shopkeeper Shen's excited hands trembled a little, "Miss Han, this ginseng, what is the girl's asking price?" ”
Yun Xue shook her head, "The shopkeeper, I don't know about this, or the shopkeeper just makes a price." I trust the shopkeeper that you won't bully our two children. ”
"These seven taels are ginseng, and eight taels are treasures. This ginseng is eight and a half, but it's a real treasure. Naturally, I don't dare to deceive the girl's young age, but the girl also understands that we are at the price of this state city, and if we send this baby to the capital, it will naturally be another price. Shopkeeper Shen looked at the ginseng in his hand, bowed his head and muttered for a moment, and then said, "In this way, this ginseng, I will give the girl 1,800 taels of silver." Of course, when this thing arrives in my hands and is sent to the capital, I am afraid that it will be more than 5,000 taels. But at this time, I can only give so much to the girl, what does the girl think? ”
