Chapter 153: Support
The father and daughter went up the mountain again, this time they walked farther, this time it didn't matter, there was no need for Xie Rongzhao to remind them, Xie Xiuwen himself had found good things.
There is ash wood on this mountain, and it is still a patch of ash wood.
Ash wood is easy to work with cutting tools, polished, and resistant to decay.
Ash wood is mainly used to make luxury furniture, that is, it is used by rich and noble people, and ordinary people cannot afford it.
Maybe it's because I can't afford it, and the people in the neighborhood don't read much, so I don't know this kind of tree at all, and the previous master shouldn't have paid attention to it.
Xie Xiuwen couldn't help but be a little excited this time, and he really let him pick up the treasure.
"Good baby, this time it's really thanks to you. The bark and fruit of this ash wood are medicinal herbs, and black brown and blue dyes can also be extracted. Absolutely good stuff! With such a piece of white ash wood, this barren mountain will not be barren. ”
The ash tree was long and high, and at the back of the dilapidated house, the usual buyer came and did not bother to go to this position at all.
Otherwise, Xie Xiuwen couldn't be allowed to pick it up.
"Daddy, is ash expensive?"
"Well, it's not cheap to make furniture. Don't worry, Daddy won't sell it all by then, so I have to keep it for you as a dowry. ”
Xie Rongzhao's little face turned red, she was only six years old!
"Daddy, there are so many of the same trees, I can't see the end."
"That's right, that's why Daddy said we found a treasure. When I get back, I will ask people to circle the bottom, and then let Zhu Weng guard the mountain gate, it is really not possible to arrange a few more strong laborers to patrol the mountain here, so as not to waste these good things again. ”
Zhu Weng is the old man with a broken leg.
After the two of them walked for a while, they found that it was still an ash tree, and Xie Xiuwen couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Good boy, these are the good things you said?"
Xie Rongzhao tilted his head and thought for a while: "Well, it seems to be, but I think there is still something there, and Daddy will accompany me to dig it." ”
Xie Xiuwen has accompanied her up the mountain again, so what is there to be reluctant to?
This time, the two dug up two more ginsengs, but they were smaller than the ones they dug in the morning, and they looked at the ginseng that should be about 100 years old.
Xie Rongzhao felt strange in her heart, she felt that the good things she felt before should not be ginseng, but now that feeling has faded again, could it be that the good things she perceived will move by themselves?
Is ginseng refined?
The thought scared the hell out of her!
I had to go to the Weixin Marquis Mansion tomorrow, so Xie Xiuwen still urged Fang Hu to go faster, and finally entered the city before the city gate was closed.
Fang Hu arranged everything properly, as for repairing the mansion, it had to wait until next year.
The winter in the north is very cold, and in some places the soil is frozen, and the soil is hard and hard.
"Master, all the cold things we purchased earlier were sent to Zhu Weng, and in addition, according to what you said, the small ones left two hundred yuan for Zhu Weng for emergency purposes."
Xie Xiuwen nodded: "Yes, you did a good job." With that food, it should be enough for them to survive the winter. ”
When Fang Hu heard this, he felt that the old man was even more benevolent.
Today, I sent 100 catties of coarse grain and 50 catties of fine grain to the pair of grandchildren, not only food, but also a lot of salt and oil.
Fang Hu felt that he had to do things well with such a master, this was how much blessing he had saved in his previous life in order to get such good luck.
Although they have been demoted to slavery, fortunately, now that they have a good master's family, their wives no longer have to live in fear.
The peaceful days that have been obtained with great difficulty cannot be made again.
The reason why Zhao Yue posted it was mainly because he really missed the little good baby.
Zhao Yue himself has children and daughters, but the children are afraid of him and never want to be close to him, and even the children of relatives are afraid of him, so Xie Rongzhao, who is not afraid of himself, is extremely rare.
And Zhao Yue felt that his children were combined, and none of them were more likable than a little good baby.
Zhao Yuesheng's appearance is not bad, but his eyebrows are sharp, so often a single look can scare a five-year-old child into crying.
Now the people of the Marquis of Weixin Mansion heard that he was going to feast a little doll, and they all felt rare.
Zhao Yue's mother learned that she met a scholar when she went south to handle a case, so she was relieved, for fear that someone deliberately stammered up.
Xie Xiuwen didn't expect that Zhao Yue would openly send a carriage from the Hou Mansion to pick up people, which made Liu Ruolan deeply uneasy, and she was afraid that it would be another Hongmen banquet.
Zhao Yue's banquet is not strictly speaking, it is not very like a banquet, no other people are invited, only Xie Xiuwen's family, and the other is Zhao Yue's wife and child.
Zhao Yue does not have many sons under his knees, two sons and three daughters, which is very ordinary for the sons and daughters of the powerful families, some of them have many concubines, and they are more important than the sons and daughters, less than twenty, there are already seven or eight children, and they are all close to each other, often several in the same year.
Xie Rongzhao came to a high-gate compound like the Hou Mansion for the first time in his two lives, and he only felt that everything was very fresh.
Liu Ruolan was originally worried that she would be looked down upon by the ladies and ladies, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Shizi would be very polite to her throughout the whole process, and she didn't know if it was because Zhao Yue said something in advance, or simply because Xie Rongzhao inadvertently saved Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue's meaning is very simple, that is, to invite them to come over and recognize the door, and move around more in the future.
Xie Xiuwen Bai Zhao Yue's intentions are tantamount to telling those literati students that although he is from an ordinary background, he is not unreliable.
To put it bluntly, it was Zhao Yue who was supporting him!
After coming out of the Weixin Hou Mansion, Xie Xiuwen took the ginseng to several pharmacies to inquire about the price.
Xie Xiuwen is not stupid, naturally he disguised himself, his beard was glued, his thick eyebrows were prepared, and he changed into a suit, and he deliberately put something on his abdomen, which seemed to have no resemblance to the original Xie Xiuwen.
In the end, Xie Xiuwen only shot two ginseng sticks.
Xie Xiuwen knew that this ginseng was not easy to obtain, but it was a good thing that could save lives, so he had to keep one.
He kept the older one, and only sold two hundred-year-old ginseng for more than 200 taels of silver.
In the end, it is the capital, if such ginseng is in his hometown, it is estimated that it may not be able to sell it for half of the money.
With such a handshake, the money in Xie Xiuwen's hand was more abundant.
He made a simple plan, and then handed over two hundred taels of silver and a box of copper coins to Liu Ruolan for her disposal.
"In the future, I want to study with peace of mind, you take care of the affairs of the family, the land we bought will not have income until next year, you take the money first, just for our own family." I have other preparations for the entertainment outside. ”
