Chapter 181: Dead Husband, Raising a Child, and Escape from Famine 21
Lin Sheng curled her lips perfunctorily: "I am a woman and my patience is limited, so just get straight to the point." Who has the time to go around in circles with you?
Doctor Liu thought so too. Time is precious, so let's make a quick decision: "Then I'll be frank. I want to leave the grandson of a good friend of mine at your house as a sample. The 100,000 taels will be the fee for the sample."
Lin Sheng asked curiously, "I see you are free, aren't you? Why don't you keep the person by your side? Do you think 10 taels is too little and you don't want to earn more?"
Old man Liu almost rolled his eyes. He was also short of money. The conditions did not allow it. Otherwise, who would be willing to leave the young master to be raised by a farmer?
Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face. He waved his hand helplessly and said, "I plan to take my granddaughter back to the capital. The child is in poor health and it is not conducive to his recovery."
Lin Sheng snorted: "So you're still a sickly person? You don't need to take any expensive medicinal herbs on a daily basis, do you?"
Old Liu's nose was almost crooked with anger. You are the sickly one, your whole family is sickly. I wonder how healthy my young master is.
He suppressed the twitching of his mouth and patiently explained: "Young Master, you don't need to take medicine, just rest."
Lin Sheng chatted with him for a long time, and when he felt that the time was right, he said something surprising: "What a coincidence! My family is also planning to go to the capital, and we can keep each other company along the way!"
Doctor Liu suddenly felt a rush of blood to his forehead. If he hadn't taken good care of himself on a daily basis, he would have had a stroke by now!
Lin Qing was afraid that the old man would be angry to death, so he quickly helped him into the house and sat him on the kang, and brought him a bowl of honey water to drink.
803 Laughing so hard that my stomach hurts in the system space [Host, aren’t you afraid of making him mad? ]
[With me standing here, how could I let him get angry in front of me? I'm just angry. He's playing me like a monkey. If he tells the truth, I might consider bringing one more person with me for the sake of money.]
803 I have already understood the host's train of thought [Have you already decided to go out with the villagers tomorrow? ]
Lin Sheng nodded and said, "Well, it's decided. Although it's a bit troublesome, think about it. They treated the original owner's family well, especially Lin Qing, who grew up eating the food of the villagers. No matter which of them got into trouble, it would be very uncomfortable."
I don’t know if it was the bowl of honey water that sobered Doctor Liu up, but the old man actually told the truth this time.
The old man leaned against the wall, bowed his hands weakly and said, "Madam Lin, I have concealed a lot of things before, but I really had no choice. Just now when I think about it, I am also very embarrassed. Now I will tell you everything without reservation..."
The late emperor’s half-brother was Prince Liang, the world-famous god of war of the Southern Liang Dynasty.
It was also because of this younger brother that he was able to sit firmly on the throne despite the covetous eyes of his brothers.
It is also because of the existence of the God of War and his family that the border has been able to maintain stability for so many years.
What was unexpected was that the late emperor passed away suddenly last year, and not long after the prince ascended the throne, something happened to the old Prince of Liang.
In less than three months, all the adult men in the Prince Liang's mansion died, leaving only an 8-year-old grandson.
Doctor Liu's eyes were already filled with tears when he said this: "The Liang Palace is full of loyal and brave men. All the men were sent to the battlefield as soon as they became adults. They were all brave and good at fighting. They did not die gloriously on the battlefield, but died miserably in the calculations of some villains. Southern Liang is over~"
He wiped his tears twice before standing up. He stood up again and bowed to Lin Sheng, saying, "Madam Lin, the Liang Palace has been helping disabled soldiers and subsidizing military pay, so it can't afford to pay much silver. The 100,000 silver is the proceeds from the Liang Palace's wife selling all her dowry."
When Lin Sheng didn't know how to react, the old man suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop, tears on his face again, and he said earnestly: "Madam Lin, please consider that the Liang Palace has devoted itself to the Southern Liang Dynasty for so many years..."
Lin Sheng quickly stepped forward to help Doctor Liu, who was choking and unable to speak, and asked the same question again: "Wouldn't it be better if you took him with you? Why did you hand him over to an outsider like me? Aren't you afraid that we will take the money and not do the job?"
Doctor Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course I want to take the young master away myself, but I can't..."
He hesitated for a moment, but still whispered: "How could the higher-ups let the young master leave the Liang Palace? The old prince saw that I was old and specially let me go back to my hometown to recuperate. Now that the Liang Palace is in need of people, it would be abnormal if I didn't go back!"
This time he returned to Dingchuan County, also under the pretext of finding another couple ginseng.
"Then have you found a good person to replace him?" I don't know which child is so unlucky.
This time, Doctor Liu's expression was very calm: "Our lives were given by the old prince. If I had a grandson, I would not hesitate to replace the young master."
Lin Sheng hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to keep the person. Just like the old man said, if the Liang Palace had not existed, the Southern Liang Dynasty would have been conquered by barbarians decades ago. In that situation, the original owner might not even have the chance to be born.
"Okay, just hand the man over to me. I can't guarantee that he will have a life of luxury, but I promise that he won't die in front of me." At worst, I can just knock the man out and keep him in the space as a vegetable.
Doctor Liu always felt that these words were strange, and he didn't know what was wrong, but since the person had already made the promise, it was already a very big thing.
The reason why he came back two days late was that he went to ask someone about the mysterious man who had hung the county magistrate and his son on the wall.
Although nothing came of it in the end, he agreed with Chen Luodan's statement. It was very likely that this person was someone who had received favors from Mr. Qiao. What had just happened to the Qin family further confirmed this.
That's why he finally decided to hand the person over to the Lin siblings.
After he bowed his hands again to express his gratitude, he thought for a moment and added, "If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, Madam Lin can go to County Magistrate Chen."
“County Magistrate Chen?” Lin Sheng was confused for a moment: “The one from Dingyuan County?”
Doctor Liu confirmed her guess: "Chen Luodan was once the best friend of the prince. If he was not a direct descendant of the Chen family, the largest family in Jiangnan, he would have been sent to the border and turned into a pile of bones long ago."
