238: "The General's Wife"

"Daddy, I got some things today, I heard it's a good thing, but I don't know it, can Daddy help me palm my eyes?"

"Nonsense." After reprimanding him softly, Mo Xiang still loosened his mouth under Mo Zhenzhen's soft grinding and hard foam, and asked her to bring the things up.

The little girls who followed behind Mo Zhenzhen each carried a tray in their hands, and when they came in, they all had a smile on their faces, looking young and smart, which was not allowed to exist in the once depressed Prime Minister's Mansion.

But now no one reprimanded them for being unruly, and even Mo Xiang had a smile in his eyes.

When Mo Xiang picked up the teacup and drank tea, Mo Zhenzhen had already personally brought over a wooden box as if offering a treasure, and placed it lightly on the bookcase in front of Mo Xiang.

Mo Xiang put down the teacup and glanced at Mo Zhenzhen, who was smiling and flattering, before reaching out to open the lid.

The lid was opened, Mo Xiang's gaze fell on it, he paused for two seconds, and then his expression changed very subtly.

This kind of change requires Mo Zhenzhen to distinguish it very carefully to see the clues, but even if she can detect the ups and downs of Mo Xiang's mood, she can't read the meaning of these ups and downs.

Mo Xiang almost instinctively hid his true emotions, and after a while, as if he had taken a serious look, he reached out and picked up the contents of the wooden box.

It was a strange mushroom, its skin was dry, slightly cool to the touch, and the whole was gray, if it weren't for the fact that these Taoist monks had brought it to sell for money, no one would have noticed it.

But Mo Xiang took it and looked at it carefully for a moment before putting it back, and then closing the box again, he opened his eyes and looked at Mo Zhenzhen and asked a question.

"Where did you get this?"

Mo Zhenzhen noticed the seriousness in Mo Xiang's tone, so she told the origin of this thing one by one, and asked a question when she was ready.

"Daddy, can you give me an estimate for this thing?"

Mo Xiang's expression already indicated that this thing was a good thing, and since this was the case, it must be acquired.

Mo Xiang thought about it, but he really quoted her a price.

"This thing can also be called a sentence with no price, and a hundred taels of gold is still made."

Mo Zhenzhen nodded, and then beckoned to the maids behind her, and they walked over and put down all the boxes.

Mo Zhenzhen instructed these maids to put the boxes on the ground and put them down. She seemed to be preoccupied with these boxes, and she was actually still observing Mo Xiang.

Mo Zhenzhen could feel that Mo Xiang's attention was also on those boxes, which were full of this kind of mushroom, one in each box, a total of thirty-three boxes.

After the box was put away, Mo Zhenzhen didn't plan to stay longer.

"Then Daddy, I'll give you all of these, and if there are any in the future, I'll send them again."

Mo Zhenzhen didn't ask what this thing was, this was the tacit understanding between her and Mo Xiang, and Mo Xiang was obviously also very interested in Mo Zhenzhen's knowledge, the smile on his face was more than two points, nodded to her, and let her go.

Mo Zhenzhen really didn't wonder what those mushrooms were?

Of course she was curious!

So why didn't she ask?

Of course not.

asked, no matter whether Mo Xiang replied or not, he would feel unhappy, and she had other channels to understand what this thing was, so why did she have to go to Mo Xiang's moldy head?

So Mo Zhenzhen simply didn't ask, and became an obedient and well-behaved daughter, so that she could get more.

Mo Zhenzhen had just returned to Tianxiangyuan, and was instructing the housekeeper to accept this thing, and set the purchase price of one thousand gold flowers, when the housekeeper in the prime minister's mansion came with the account room.

They came to give Mo Zhenzhen a silver ticket, a full 50,000 taels of gold, Mo Xiang can be described as a big deal.

Mo Xiang has a lot of rare and strange land deeds in his hands, but when it comes to real money, there are really not many of them.

Now that he took out a silver ticket of 50,000 taels of gold in one go, the silver taels pre-deposited in the account of the Prime Minister's Mansion should be less than half.

Mo Zhenzhen took the silver ticket with a smile, and then handed it to the housekeeper and asked her to continue to handle the reward.

The housekeeper is also a discerning person, and after taking the silver ticket, she respectfully retreated, and then five days later (a quick time to whip up a round trip), before Mo Zhenzhen had dinner, a batch of mushrooms was sent over.

This time it was sent directly to the General's Mansion, Mo Zhenzhen personally received it, and there were more than seventy mushrooms sent this time, Mo Zhenzhen drove out the other maids, and then took a mushroom into the ghost.

As soon as she entered the ghost, she felt a strange sense of oppression.

Mo Zhenzhen swept around, and then met a pair of vigilant eyes with some surprise.

Almost subconsciously, she locked on to the cause of the anomaly - the mushrooms she brought in.

Mo Zhenzhen took the mushroom in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, then looked at the ghost employees in front of her, and asked with a smile.

"Do you know this thing?"

When Mo Zhenzhen asked this, some ghosts couldn't help but show their fierce appearances, but they were slapped on the back of the head by the fairly rational ghosts around them, which was considered to be sober.

The answer to Mo Zhenzhen's question was that she didn't know when she appeared next to Mo Zhenzhen, and took away the little lady who took the mushroom behind her (the little girl who was abused by the family).

The appearance of the little lady was silent, even Mo Zhenzhen didn't notice it, and she easily took away the things in her hands, which made Mo Zhenzhen very vigilant.

But looking back at the little lady, her appearance was a little wrong, and her eyes seemed to be a little redder.

The little lady pinched the mushroom and played with it for a while, then took a deep breath, as if she was calming down, and said with some emotion.

"It's been a long time since I've seen this."

"What is this?"

"It's the shell."

Mo Zhenzhen didn't understand, so she didn't say anything, waiting for the little lady's next words.

The little lady didn't sell it, she just felt a little emotional, so she just paused and explained to Mo Zhenzhen.

"Do you know that 'starvation is everywhere'?"

Mo Zhenzhen nodded, of course she knew this, describing the hungry people everywhere under the famine.

The little lady returned the mushroom that was said to be a 'shell' to Mo Zhenzhen, and then gave her a science popularization, the meaning of 'starvation' in another supernatural world.

In this context, starvation refers to people who have been repeatedly tortured to the point of despair by starvation, and these people will incarnate into starving ghosts after death, and they will undergo a metamorphosis before they become starving ghosts.

The Starving Ghost is a type of ghost that eats everything, and the first thing they do when they are born is to eat their own corpse, just as a newborn cub would eat its own eggshell.

Today's addition is later, it should be after twelve o'clock, and my stomach hurts.
