Chapter 117: Hurry to the reprimand
Unlike the last holiday, this time, many disciples in the pharmacy chose not to go home. The reason is that they took over the "red bead grass planting task" more than 20 days ago.
The three days of the holiday are the critical period for the red bead grass to hang fruit. In order to harvest more and sweetest red pearl fruits, it is necessary to water them once in the morning and once at dusk during the fruit-bearing period, and each time they must be watered thoroughly. If you don't water for three days, you will definitely lose the harvest and all your efforts will be wasted.
Yuan Feng, they and Shen Yun all took over this task. In the same way, they also choose not to go home.
As always, they are still working together this time. Because Shen Yun's medicine field was the closest to the water source, they discussed it and started watering from No. 10.
Early in the morning, everyone carried buckets and went to Shen Yun's paddy field to fetch water.
At this moment, Chen Hu suddenly patted his head with remorse: "Oops, I forgot one thing." β
"Brother Tiger, what's the matter?" asked Chen Long with concern. He and Chen Hu are cousins. After getting acquainted, everyone jokingly called the two of them "Brother Long and Brother Tiger". The name was so much that the brothers themselves changed their names.
"Last time I went home from vacation, my mother said that she would take me back to my grandfather's house, and today she would send Uncle Wang to pick me up at the mountain gate early. Chen Hu replied.
When Chen Long heard this, he responded: "It's rare for my aunt to go back to her mother's house." Since you promised your aunt, don't break your promise and go back. β
"But......" Chen Hu turned his head to look at his medicine field in embarrassment.
The task of planting red bead grass is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Only if you hand over 50 catties of high-grade red pearl fruits, it can be regarded as a second-level task; if you hand over 50 catties of medium-grade red pearl fruits, it can only be converted into a first-level task; and if all the low-grade red pearl fruits are planted, the task will fail.
Because he felt that this task was very cost-effective, he took five copies in one go and planted all the medicinal fields with red bead grass. Once the mission fails, his mission value will be cleared, and he will still owe eighty points. The consequences are severe.
"It's okay, I'm here. Chen Long said heartily, "I'll help you keep an eye on the watering, and you won't make a mistake." β
"We'll help you with the watering too. Qin Feng and the others also said.
"That's okay. Chen Hu smiled, "I planted so many ......"
Shen Yunying said: "I plant less, I'll help you water it." β
"Thank you. Chen Hu thanked him, "Anyway, there is nothing to do at my grandfather's house, and it will be the same next month." I'll go to the mountain gate to find Uncle Wang and make it clear. Please help me water in the morning. β
"It's a small thing. Everyone laughed.
Hong Tianbao said: "My family will definitely send someone to come." I was thinking that after watering, I would go to the mountain gate. Brother Tiger, help me talk to my family. β
As soon as he reminded him, others also asked for help.
"Okay. Chen Hu responded, put down the empty bucket, and left in a hurry.
When he walked to the valley, he saw two brothers, Liu Yuxing and Li Changan, walking unhurriedly in front.
"Cousin, I'm glad you thought long and told me not to take on the task. Li Changan said happily, "Otherwise, we won't be able to go back today, what a mistake." β
Liu Yuxing didn't answer, and gently urged, "Hurry up."
Chen Hu didn't usually have any contact with the two of them, so he didn't say hello and walked over quickly.
When he came to the mountain gate, he successively found Uncle Wang, as well as the people sent by Qin Feng's family, and told them the reason why he couldn't go home during the holiday.
After finishing the message, it was almost noon. He hurried back thinking that he would have to pour water at dusk.
At this time, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Cousin, the carriage seems to be the emblem of Miaojutang." Are you here to pick up Shen Yun's kid?"
It was Li Changan's voice! Hearing the mention of Shen Yun in his words, Chen Hu couldn't help but think of the festival between the two of them. As soon as his heart moved, he ducked behind a small carriage next to him, and heard the sound of the past.
Liu Yuxing and Li Changan were less than five steps away from him. At this time, both of their attention was attracted by a green canopy carriage on the right, and they did not see him.
In the carriage should be a female dependent. Because Chen Hu saw a mother-in-law in a blue coat and a purple-clothed maid of twelve or thirteen years old standing next to the car. It is estimated that they have been waiting for a while, and the two looked in the direction of the mountain gate, looking uneasy and anxious. Especially the maid, who stomped her feet from time to time.
"Let's go, go over and have a look. Behind Liu Yuxing stood a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper. He turned around and whispered a few words to the man, and then walked in the direction of the carriage with Li Changan.
What do the two of them want to do? Chen Hu groaned slightly, made a small bend silently, and hid himself behind a big tree.
After just such a while, over there, Li Changan had already talked to the people in the carriage.
"It turned out to be Brother Yun's senior brother. A gentle voice sounded in the car. Then, the blue cloth curtain was lifted, "Two sons, the slave family is polite." β
Chen Hu poked his head out from behind the tree slightly, just in time to see the girl in pink in the car kneeling and bowing her head. is also eleven or twelve years old, looks picturesque, and the pretty hibiscus face is so tender that it can pinch out the water. The fitting dress lined her figure like wicker.
Hmm, what a pretty girl.
Li Changan didn't expect such a beautiful woman in the car, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Next to him, Liu Yuxing gently poked him on the back of the waist without showing a trace.
Li Changan came back to his senses and accepted the salute with a red face: "Miss Wu is exempt." β
"Li Gongzi, Brother Yun really stayed in the martial arts hall to do tasks this time, can't he go home?" The girl in pink looked up, her eyes were wet, like dewdrops on lotus leaves after the rain, it seemed that when the wind blew, it was about to drip.
Chen Hu saw that the tips of Li Changan's two ears were red.
"Hmm. The latter nodded.
"However, Brother Yun obviously promised Li'er......" The girl in pink bit her red lip and wept, "Li'er came early and waited here for a long time......"
Hearing this, Chen Hu felt that Shen Yun should be thundered.
Li Changan's temper at one point is even worse. Fortunately, Liu Yuxing gently grabbed him and opened his mouth to divert the topic: "Brother Shen may have been busy and forgot." Miss Wu, it's not early, let's go back early. β
"Yes. The girl in pink responded softly and saluted again, "The slave family thanks the two sons for telling each other." As he spoke, he stretched out his jade hand to lower the curtain.
At this time, Li Changan suddenly stepped forward: "Did Miss Wu only bring her mother-in-law and girl with her? Why didn't you see the family and the guard?"
The girl in pink raised her eyes, glanced at him quickly, and replied weakly: "The slave family thought that they would receive Brother Yun...... Sent the guards home early. β
"I see. Li Changan nodded solemnly, "Anyway, by the way, it's better for me to send the girl back." β
Liu Yuxing looked at him in amazementβIs there a way between the Li Mansion and Miaoshou Hall? Why don't I know?
However, he knew Li Changan's temperament very well and knew that he could not dismantle the stage at this time, so he did not make a sound. I only thought it was funny in my heart: if there is a father, there is a son. At a young age, he had a virtuous personality with his uncle, and when he saw a good-looking woman, he couldn't move his legs. I don't look at other people's girls and disagree......
"In this way, there is Lao Li Gongzi. The girl in pink actually pushed the boat down the river and agreed!
Liu Yuxing almost choked on his own saliva.
After a while, Li Chang'an frantically beckoned the butler to untie a horse from his big carriage and get off, ride a horse to protect the small carriage of Miaoshou Hall, and drove away.
Liu Yuxing was stunned for a while, and reluctantly climbed into the carriage.
Chen Hu appeared from behind the tree and said in his heart: Who is this Wu girl from Shen Yun?
Do you want to tell Shen Yun? He thought about it and pouted: "One more thing, it's better to have one less." I didn't see anything today.
Well, he admits that in fact, Li Changan is not the only one who looks at Shen Yun unpleasantly. He couldn't figure out what was so good about that kid Shen Yun. Brother Feng, as well as his cousin, all have to hold him.
Isn't it just that he got a letter of recommendation from the Grand Marshal's Mansion? The devil knows if he stole it or cheated it!
Thinking of this, he decided to check out Miaojutang on his next vacation.
Maybe starting from Miaoshou Hall, you can find out Shen Yun's real backer. I'm going to see what this guy is all about! Hmph, don't let me know he's a liar. He said to himself in his heart.
After returning to the Medicine Valley, Chen Hu was really tight-lipped and didn't say a word.
The seven-day fruit-bearing period is finally over. Shen Yun and Qin Feng's medicinal fields were full of fertilizer and watered thoroughly during the fruit-bearing period, so the growth was gratifying. Not only did the other disciples come to watch, but they also got the attention of the deputy sect of Yong'an.
On the evening of the seventh day, Deputy Sect Envoy Yong'an took Master Luo and a few of them to inspect their medicine fields, and announced in public: In addition to the red pearl fruit that was handed over to the task, the rest of the pharmacy will be purchased at a price two percent higher than the market price.
The surrounding disciples immediately cast hot glances.
"Grow medicine well. Deputy Priest Yong'an encouraged, "In the future, as long as the high-quality medicinal materials are used, the pharmacy will purchase them at a price higher than the market price." β
Shen Yun's mental arithmetic was very fast, and after a turn of thought, he immediately calculated: Excluding the cost of receiving the seeds, this time, he can net a hundred taels of silver!
With the cash on my body, next year's tuition is ready!
If it weren't for Deputy Sect Envoy Yong'an, there were still a few masters present, and he wanted to jump up and cheer.
Qin Feng's joy was no less than Shen Yun'sβthey were the first to receive medicinal materials at a high price from the pharmacy!
At this moment, a miscellaneous servant ran over and shouted, "Shen Yun! Who is Shen Yun!
The tone is very bad.
Isn't that the place to deal with the disciples who made mistakes? Everyone looked at Shen Yun in disbelief. Even Deputy Sect Envoy Yong'an and Master Luo and others were stunned.
"Yes. Shen Yun was also confused.
