Chapter 169: It's Beginning to Be Revealed

"What's wrong, what's going on at home?" Looking at the hesitant expressions of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Tang Mian asked worriedly.

Lu Zheng gave Li Shi a look and motioned for her to say. Li Shi glared at him, and finally spoke: "It's that Zhou Xiaohua was worried about the mountain and came over to make trouble." ”

Tang Mian was not surprised, she still knew Zhou Xiaohua's temperament.

It's just that Brother Dashan had already made it clear to Zhou Xiaohua before entering the mountain, since she still came over to disturb the peace of the two old people.

"Dad, mother, now that Brother Dashan has come back safe and sound, Zhou Xiaohua will not come over to make trouble again." Tang Mian suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and smiled to comfort Lu Zheng and Li.

Lu Zheng and Li nodded, fortunately everyone was back.

"Give me the basket!" Lu Zheng said.

"Thank you, Dad!" Tang Mian took out the burden containing his own things and handed the basket to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng took it and took it into the utility room.

"Mother, I'll accompany you back to your room." Zhuang Zhuang held Tang Mian's hand tightly, raised his head, stared at Tang Mian without blinking, and said.

He doesn't like Zhou Xiaohua's aunt, that person always speaks ill of his mother.

Tang Mian smiled lightly, "Okay." ”

She knew that her family must have been worried these days.

"Mianniang, there is hot water on the stove, do you want to wash it first, or wash it after eating?" Before entering the stove room, Li asked.

Tang Mian thought for a while and said, "I'll wash it now, just change my clothes." ”

The smell on my body is really bad.

Lee: "Okay. You go and prepare, and my mother will go and fetch water for you. ”

Tang Mian was not polite, and said with a smile: "Thank you, mother." ”

The words fell, taking the little one's hand and walking to the room.

She had to get the bathtub and a change of clothes.

Then have a good meal and a good night's sleep.

She wasn't the only one who thought about it, the other five thought it that way.

Lu Dashan was the first to go home after her.

"Dashan, you're back!" Zhou Xiaohua saw Lu Dashan standing safely in front of her, and her eyes became extremely bright.

After entering the mountain for a few days, they must have gained a lot, and their family is about to send it!

"Come in, I'll boil water for you and take a bath, and make some more food."

Thinking of Bai Huahua's silver, Zhou Xiaohua was overjoyed, and was very diligent.

Lu Dashan looked at Zhou Xiaohua, who had suddenly become so diligent, in surprise, and after thinking about it slightly, he understood what was going on.

Zhou Xiaohua is still the same Zhou Xiaohua, and if she has interests, she will change.

Lu Zhian took the injured three people to Dr. Wu and was really relieved to make sure that there was no major problem.

In addition, they also asked Dr. Wu about the medicinal materials they had collected in the mountains in the past few days.

Then, a sleepless night.

The next day, after the sun rose, Lu Zhian knocked on the door of Tang Mian's house.

"Zhi'an, what's the matter?" Lu Zheng opened the door and saw Lu Zhi'an with a happy face, and asked in surprise.

The smile on Lu Zhi'an's face was many times brighter than the rising sun, "Third uncle, are your younger brothers and sisters up?" ”

"Come on, if you're looking for her, come in!" Lu Zheng nodded and said.

"Huh!"

Lu Zhian responded with a smile and raised his foot to cross the threshold.

"Third aunt."

Lu Zhian walked to the courtyard and saw Li's and greeted him with a smile.

"Zhi'an is here!"

"He's looking for Mianniang." Lu Zheng, who came over after closing the door, spoke.

Li nodded clearly, "Mianniang is teaching Zhuang Zhuang to endorse in the house, I'll call her." ”

"Okay, thank you, Aunt San."

Li waved his hand, "Thank you!" ”

After the words fell, he turned around and went to the strong study to call someone.

After a while, Tang Mian walked out.

"Brother Lobby, why didn't you go to the county seat?" Tang Mian looked at Lu Zhian suspiciously and asked.

Lu Zhian said: "We discussed unanimously and decided to call you together." ”

Tang Mian was slightly stunned, and chuckled: "Brother Lobby, didn't we say it yesterday, you and the second cousin can take the medicinal materials and sell them, I believe you." County seat, I'll go another day. ”

In the past few days in the mountains, she is really tired, and she wants to rest for two days and then go to the county seat to see her sister.

Hearing the sale of medicinal herbs, Lu Zhian couldn't help but smile again, "It was originally like this." However, last night we asked Dr. Wu about the price of those medicinal materials. Dr. Wu said, the He Shou Wu we picked is 600 years old, this thing is too valuable, we think it is better for you to follow along. ”

Tang Mian didn't listen to the latter sentence at all, she only heard He Shou Wu for six hundred years.

"Six or six hundred years?" Tang Mian's eyes widened in disbelief.

Lu Zheng and Li Shi were also stunned in place, they must have been too excited to sleep well because Mianniang came back safely.

Otherwise, how could they hear that Mianniang and they picked a six-hundred-year-old He Shou Wu?

Lu Zhian tried to resist the urge to laugh, nodded heavily and said, "Well, six hundred years." Dr. Wu said that it could be sold for about 2,000 taels of silver. ”

After speaking, although he didn't laugh out loud, he couldn't help grinning, and the smile on his face dazzled Lu Zheng and Li Shi a little.

"Old. Old man, I.. I'm not having a problem with my ears, am I? Li swallowed his saliva, pulled Lu Zheng's clothes excitedly, and stammered.

Two thousand taels, Mianniang They picked He Shou Wu this time can sell for two thousand taels!

Oh, my God!

Their old Lu family is lucky!

Lu Zheng didn't have much stability, his head was dizzy at this moment.

"You probably heard it right, because I heard it too." Lu Zheng said with trembling lips.

Lu Zhian grinned again, "Third uncle, third aunt, you all heard it right. What I just said is absolutely true! ”

After the words fell, he turned his gaze to Tang Mian again, "Brother and sister, in addition to He Shou Wu, there is also that dendrobium, what kind of dendrobium did Doctor Wu say, it can probably be worth about eight hundred taels." ”

Lu Zheng and Li Shi gasped, this adds up to almost three thousand taels!

Lu Zhi'an: "Brother and sister, you pack up and go into the city with us!" It's not just you, we've called the mountains too. ”

Yesterday, when they were busy going home, Dashan said that they should just go and sell the medicinal herbs, and they agreed without thinking much about it.

When they got up in the morning, they remembered Zhou Xiaohua.

If you don't call the mountain, Zhou Xiaohua may say that they have lost the silver.

Tang Mian blinked, recovered from the shock, and nodded helplessly, "Okay, Brother Lobby, I'll go with you." ”

She naturally believed in the two cousins.

It's just that I didn't expect that the two cousins had to call her when they saw that things were valuable.

"Dad, mother, I'll change my clothes and go into the city with my cousin."

Lu Zheng and Li couldn't stop nodding, "Okay, okay, let's go!" ”

If it weren't for the situation, they would all want to go and see it together.

Oh my God, hey!

A few thousand taels of silver!

In the future, you will never have to worry about running out of money to treat your grandson!

Tang Mian smiled, "Mother, you put some dried vegetables at home before, and I'll take them to my sister." ”

"Yes, yes, you can't go so empty-handed." Li patted his forehead and said in annoyance.

"There are still some pickles at home, I saw that Mrs. County Ling liked to eat them last time, so you can bring some with you."

Tang Mian didn't object, "Okay." Then please put it on together! ”

After saying that, he went into the house and changed his clothes. Then, I went to the study to talk to Zhuang Zhuang.

"Mother, can you take the big characters I wrote these days to show my uncle?" The little guy heard that Tang Mian was going to the county office, and asked after being entangled for a moment.

He felt that his uncle was a very good reader, and he wanted his uncle to see the big characters he wrote.

Tang Mian was stunned for a moment, smiled and nodded, "Naturally." ”

The little guy was very happy when he heard this, and immediately slid off the chair and ran to clean up a large stack and handed it to Tang Mian.

"Mother, these are all things I wrote recently." Zhuang Zhuang grinned and looked at Tang Mian with a smile in his eyes.

Tang Mian smiled gently, took a large stack of papers in his hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, son, my mother will definitely show it to your uncle." ”

The little guy was happy, "Thank you, mother." ”

"Good!" Tang Mian rubbed his sturdy head, took the big characters he wrote and the things that Li had packed, and went out with Lu Zhian.

After Tang Mian followed Lu Zhi'an out, Lu Dashan drove Lu Zhi'an's ox cart over.

Lu Dashan knew that those medicinal materials must be worth a lot of silver, but he didn't expect that they would be worth so much silver.

After he heard Lu Zhi'an's words, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Even if it is only sold for three thousand taels and six people, each person will have five hundred taels.

As long as you don't lose, it's enough for the whole family to live comfortably for a lifetime.

What's more, there are other medicinal herbs.

Thinking of this, Lu Dashan couldn't hold the whip a little.

With a stirring mood, Lu Dashan drove the ox cart and took the five companions and medicinal herbs into the mountain to the county seat.

Two hours later, the ox cart slowly entered the county seat.

The six people did not go directly to the pharmacy, but went to the county government first.

Tang Mian went to the back hall to see Zhuang Jing, and Lu Zhi'an and the others went to see Yu Mingzhi.

"How?" When Yu Mingzhi saw the five people, his eyes were very hot, and he asked eagerly.

"Back to the adult's words, fortunately not disgraced!" Lu Daneng was the first to answer.

Suddenly, Yu Mingzhi raised his head and laughed, "Hahaha, good, good." ”

After a while, Yu Mingzhi looked at a few people in a comfortable mood, "You have worked hard, go and rest first, and then we will eat later." ”

He saw that Lu Daneng, Lu Zhiqiang, and Zhang Yi were all wrapped in strips of cloth, and the strips of cloth were still soaked in a little bloodstains, and knew that they were injured, so he didn't ask to see ginseng.

Anyway, as long as the ginseng is harvested, it won't run.

"Thank you, sir."

After thanking them, the five went to the house where they rested on weekdays.

Lu Dashan entered the county government for the first time, and although he was nervous, he was more yearning.

Back hall

Zhuang Jing was very happy when she saw Tang Mian come to see her again.

When Mama Liu saw Tang Mian, she was greatly relieved. She knew that Tang Mian and Lu Zhi'an had gone into the mountains a few days ago, and now that they saw Tang Mian coming to the county government safely and soundly, she knew that most of the ginseng had been picked.

"Mianniang, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you lately?" Zhuang Jing took Tang Mian's hand and asked with concern.

Tang Mian smiled, "Thank you sister for your concern, I'm fine." What about my sister, has my little nephew been making trouble with you lately? ”

Speaking of the child, Zhuang Jing's expression instantly became extremely gentle, "Recently, he has been very well-behaved, and my appetite has improved a lot." ”

"Look, I've gained weight."

After Zhuang Jing finished speaking, he spread his arms and turned around for Tang Mian to see.

Tang Mian took a closer look and found that Zhuang Jing was indeed fatter than before.

"My sister is just too thin, it's good to have more meat."

Zhuang Jing pursed her lips and smiled, she thought so too.

"I like the dried vegetables and pickles you brought, Mianniang, thank you."

"It's good if my sister doesn't dislike it."

The two sisters spoke warm words to each other.

However, after a while, Mama Liu interrupted them and told them that it was time for lunch.

Especially Zhuang Jing, she must eat on time so that her body can be better maintained.

After lunch, and chatting with Zhuang Jing for a while, Tang Mian asked for his resignation under the pretext of having something to deal with.

Even if Zhuang Jing was reluctant, he had no choice but to let go.

It's just that when leaving, Zhuang Jing said that he would stuff Tang Mian with a few boxes of snacks and some small gifts.

Tang Mian had no choice but to accept it.

"Sister, my father, and Zhuang Zhuang thank you."

Zhuang Jing glared at Tang Mian unhappily, "How many times have I told you, don't be so polite between sisters." ”

"Yes, yes, my sister is right." Tang Mian was afraid that Zhuang Jing would be really angry, so he admitted his mistake again and again.

But I sighed in my heart, didn't you thank you very happily just now?

After saying goodbye to Zhuang Jing, Tang Mian did not leave immediately, but handed over the big characters written by Zhuang Zhuang to Yu Mingzhi.

After Yu Mingzhi saw it, he praised the little guy for his hard work and great progress.

The son was praised by others, and Tang Mian was also very happy in his heart.

After leaving from the county office, Tang Mian went to the pharmacy with Lu Zhian and the others.

This time, I went to the pharmacy to sell them, except for a few ginseng plants, they were all ordinary medicinal materials.

Yu Mingzhi accepted all the other valuable medicinal materials and gave them a total of 5,000 taels of silver.

Originally, they didn't expect Yu Mingzhi to give so much silver.

It was a bonus!

Also, Yu Mingzhi saw that Lu Zhi'an and them had worked hard, so he gave them a vacation and let them rest for two days before going to duty.

After they left the county office, Yu Mingzhi looked at several medicinal materials on the table and let out a long sigh, fortunately, his wife has a strong family background, and the business in the shop has been good over the years.

Otherwise, how dare he squander it like this?

On the other side, Tang Mian and the six of them sold all the medicinal materials and collected a total of four hundred and ten taels of silver.

Among them, the century-old ginseng was sold to Tang Mian.

Ginseng is not easy to come by, and she is not short of silver for the time being, so she wants to collect one plant for emergencies.

Ganoderma lucidum, if her brother-in-law hadn't received it all, she would have wanted to buy a small one.

After selling the herbs, they went to sell the fur of the brown bear and two pairs of bear paws.

Two pairs of bear paws were sold for sixty-five taels, and two furs were sold for a high price because there were too many wounds, and they only got seventy-five taels.

This time, a total of 5,550 taels of silver were obtained.

The three wounded were each given ten taels first.

and the remaining five thousand five hundred and twenty-six were divided equally, and each of them received nine hundred and twenty taels.

Tang Mian touched the silver ticket in his arms, and the smile on his face never broke.

Even if she doesn't go into the mountains to collect medicine in the future, the money for Zhuang Zhuang's treatment is almost enough.

The five men covered the silver ticket on their chests, and thought at the same time that they would not have to worry about the rest of their lives.

With such a large sum of money, and it happened to be in the county seat, the six of them all wanted to buy something for their families.

So they made an appointment.

Just right, you can take care of each other in case of robbery.

No!

With Lu Daneng and Zhang Yi following the two head catchers, no one should have the courage to rob them.

Tang Mian bought Lu Zheng the best wine, the best tobacco leaves, and two pairs of shoes in Santan County. I also bought two pairs of shoes for the Li family, as well as a set of gold jewelry and a pair of bracelets.

What I bought for Zhuang Zhuang was the four treasures of the study, as well as some difficult toys.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle have been helping them a lot, and the old patriarch and the village chief have been bothering a lot about their family's affairs recently, so Tang Mian bought them a gift.

I bought it all the way, and there were a lot of things.

Lu Zhian and Lu Zhiqiang bought much more than her.

There is no way, their family has a large population, and they have to buy it large and small.

The things Lu Dashan bought were not so complicated, they were some cloth and clothing, snacks for children, and bought a pair of silver bracelets for Zhou Xiaohua.

He originally wanted to buy gold, but thinking of Zhou Xiaohua's swaggering temperament, he still gave up.

However, Lu Dashan didn't know that not long after they left, Zhou Xiaohua had already begun to show off in the village. (End of chapter)
