It's already cold in the north right now, and it's hard to say that it will snow in the next few days.

Xie Xiuwen took the good treasure to the foot of the mountain during the day, and before he could look for it, he saw that the pair of grandsons had already seen them, and immediately knelt down.

Xie Xiuwen frowned, a lame old man, plus a child, is now abandoned by the old master, and his livelihood in the future is a problem.

"Say hello to the old lady."

The child didn't speak, and began to kowtow with his grandfather.

"Uncle, get up and talk quickly, the ground is cold, don't hurt your body again."

The old man got up tremblingly with a crutch.

"The old man is benevolent, this is my little grandson, his parents were sick in the early years, and now it is our grandfather and son who depend on each other, and please be merciful, don't sell us again."

When Xie Xiuwen heard this, he suddenly felt a little bitter in his heart.

This is also the warrior who went to the battlefield to kill the enemy back then!

Even if he failed to be crowned a general, he was indeed a hero who fought on the battlefield, and now the hero is in the twilight of his life, and he has fallen into a situation where he is to be bought and sold like a commodity.

"Don't worry, I won't sell you, I've asked people to go to the town to buy some cold things, I think it will be delivered in a while, you can live here with peace of mind first, and when it gets warm next year, I will arrange someone to repair the house on the mountain, and then you will help me look at the house on the mountain."

The old man was so moved that he trembled and wanted to kneel again, but was stopped by Xie Xiuwen.

Xie Xiuwen and his family began to wander around the mountains again, Liu Ruolan didn't know much about farming, but Fang Hu still knew a little.

"Master, you see that in these places, you can plant some sweet potatoes or taro when you go back, and you can grow some vegetables over there later, and when it comes to spring and summer, the family will no longer need to buy vegetables outside. When the time comes, gather a circle on this mountain, and raise some chickens and ducks, not to mention eating meat, and a few little masters will come in the future, and they will also have a good time. ”

I have to say that Fang Hu really said that Xie Xiuwen's heart was in the heart.

Naturally, the house they rented was not good for raising a large number of chickens and ducks, mainly because the main family did not agree.

Now that there is such a place, with the help of the grandfather and grandson in the future, and a few more long-term workers, it is estimated that it will be able to support it.

Fang Hu didn't know how much financial resources his master had, he only knew that this was the master who had just won the lift, and he was also the Duke of Xie Yuan, and his wife had a shop to marry, and now since he could buy it directly and generously, there must be no shortage of money.

Only Xie Xiuwen knows that he doesn't have much money in his hand, if he doesn't do anything, just waiting to eat the old book, it is estimated that by April and May next year, he will be stretched.

After going up the mountain, take a look around, Xie Ronglang grew up on the mountain since he was born, and he runs up the mountain almost every day, and now he sees that this place is different from the mountains he has seen before, and the things that grow are not the same, so he is naturally a little more curious.

"Fang Hu, you can help watch Brother Lang'er, it's okay to teach him some more things, I'll take them over there to have a look."

"Yes, sir."

When Fang Hu and Xie Ronglang couldn't be seen, Liu Ruolan was so tired that she found a stone to sit down, and then watched their father and daughter look around like they were looking for treasures.

"Daddy, this is it. Did you have something with you? ”

Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows and took out a short dagger from his arms, which was originally used for self-defense, but now it is used as a tool for digging treasures.

With Xie Xiuwen here, it is naturally impossible for his good baby to do this kind of rough work, but fortunately, he himself has changed into a caftan brown, and there is no wide sleeved robe, so it is convenient to work.

When the thing is dug out and takes a look, Xie Xiuwen's eyes will be straight!

It turned out to be a ginseng plant!

Ginseng is rare everywhere, and it is even rarer to have such a large root.

"How did you know there was something good here?"

Xie Rongzhao shook his head: "I don't know, I just feel that there are good things here." ”

Xie Xiuwen couldn't ask anything, so he simply didn't ask, but repeatedly told her that if she noticed that she was unwell, she must tell him.

Xie Xiuwen had only seen ginseng in books, and looking at this appearance, he estimated that it could be two or three hundred years old, and he didn't know how much it could be priced.

Carefully wrap the thing with a handkerchief and then stuff it into your bosom.

"Daddy, there are still good things on this mountain."

Xie Xiuwen's heart trembled: "Good baby, don't worry, now this mountain is ours, and we don't necessarily have to dig it today." ”

Xie Rongzhao tugged on his sleeve and didn't let go: "What if a villager goes up the mountain?" We can't keep an eye on it. ”

That's true.

According to the law of great governance, since this mountain is already Xie Xiuwen's, then everything on this mountain belongs to him.

He was kind-hearted and allowed the villagers to go up the mountain to pick up some dead branches for firewood, but some people wanted to get some good things here to bring back.

"Or ginseng?"

Xie Xiuwen asked in a low voice, for fear of being listened to again.

"It's not. Good stuff anyway. ”

Xie Xiuwen sighed, took her hand and walked back a few steps, and saw that Liu Ruolan was still sitting there waiting for them, so he said in a low voice: "Then why don't we come back later?" ”

Xie Rongzhao nodded: "Yes." Don't bring A-Niang and younger brother. ”

Xie Xiuwen smiled and touched her head, only to find that his hands were still stained with dirt, and his daughter's hair was stained with crumbs.

When Liu Ruolan saw their father and daughter coming back, she naturally smiled and counted them, it was nothing more than that the two of them looked a little embarrassed.

didn't take too long, Fang Hu gave two taels of silver and settled down to eat at the Song tenant's house, but the Song family was very proud.

Of course, the women of the Song family were a little nervous, for fear that the coarse tea and light rice they made would not be satisfactory to the nobles.

Because Fang Hu gave a lot of money, the Song family also killed a chicken neatly, made a large plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, and steamed a pot of white flour steamed buns, which were fragrant.

After lunch and a brief chat, the Song family invited them into the West Room to rest for a while.

"Don't be surprised, everything in this West House is new, because my eldest man is about to get married, so they are all newly purchased, you can use it with confidence."

Liu Ruolan shook her head: "It's too troublesome, since it's for marriage, don't break the rules." We're almost resting, husband, are we going back to town? ”

Xie Xiuwen thought for a while: "Fang Hu, you send Mrs. and Gongzi and Sister-in-law Wang to go back to the carriage to rest first, before the good treasure said that I wanted to taste the wild pestle hanging on the treetops, I didn't allow her, I was not happy, I took her to pick a few and came back." ”

"Why don't you take Miss to pick fruit?"

Xie Xiuwen smiled: "You don't understand, I only need to pick it up." ”

Fang Hu scratched his head, he really didn't understand. (End of chapter)
