Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him
Chapter 924 Tongyanwuji
Inside the tent, Xue Wenyu raised the corners of his mouth as he listened to the even breathing of the person in his arms.
She is so different. As a first-rank lady, if she wants to dig herbs, all she has to do is move her mouth.
However, she insisted on doing it herself.
However, what is certain is that she is really happy today.
Xue Wenyu felt that there was only one thing he had to do for the rest of his life, and that was to try his best to make her so happy and in such a good mood every day.
The night in the mountain village is particularly quiet, with night birds chirping from time to time.
If you are in a good mood, you will find the singing of night birds particularly pleasant.
It was almost midnight, and in the main house of the courtyard, no one in the family, except the child in his arms, was sleepy at all.
The whole family sat around the table. For the first time in so many years, they were willing to keep the oil lamp lit.
On the table, besides the oil lamp, there was an open purse, a few silver coins, a pile of scattered silver dimes, and a silver note with a face value of one hundred taels.
"Old man, can we really accept this?" The old lady's voice still couldn't calm down.
Originally, when the harvest was good throughout the year, it was the happiest thing to have a silver dime left at home at the end of the year.
But he never thought that he would suddenly get lucky and become rich today! Not only did he get a whole large silver ingot, but he also got silver notes! "Keep it. Didn't the lady say that this is the payment for the herbs?" The old man said, and looked at his son; "In a few days, ask Liu the matchmaker to come and help Qingbai to propose marriage to the Tao family. One hundred taels of silver, give them."
"Father, I think this matter cannot be taken lightly. The reason why the Tao family asked for a betrothal gift of 100 taels is actually an excuse to refuse and make things difficult for me.
Although we can afford it right now, we all know what kind of people they are. They are stingy and greedy. If they put forward other harsh conditions again, what should we do? "The old man's son remained silent after dinner.
Hearing this, everyone else looked at the man who had also been silent, the old man's grandson, Wan Qingbai.
This child likes the girl from the Tao family. There was nothing we could do about it before, but now it’s okay.
"Grandpa, father, let's keep this money to build a new house, and let's send Quan'er to study with Mr. Bian." Wan Qingbai spoke up, and he made a great decision to speak.
No one expected him to say that.
"Bai Er, don't you like the girl from the Tao family?" the old lady asked in confusion.
The whole family knew that the little grandson liked the girl from the Tao family.
When she was of that age, even though she knew the temperament of the family, she still asked a matchmaker to go to their house.
As a result, the matchmaker came back with a message saying that the Tao family wanted a dowry of 100 taels of silver, and since they couldn't afford it, there was no point in talking.
It has been more than a year since this happened, and the family feels very sad seeing Qingbai chopping wood and looking for work to earn money every day.
Because they all knew that no matter how hard the family worked, they would not be able to save up enough for a betrothal gift of 100 taels within one or two years.
But if it takes a long time, people won’t wait.
Since the last marriage proposal, I heard that many people have gone to the Tao family to propose marriage, but they were all stumped by the conditions proposed by his family.
People in the village said that the Tao family was planning to get rich by marrying off their daughter. Wan Qingbai smiled bitterly, "I'm speaking from the heart, not out of anger. I liked her before, but now I
I don't like it anymore. This time, it's because Grandpa was lucky and got in touch with the kind-hearted First-Rank Lady, so our family has the hope of living a good life.
With this money, we can build a new house, Quan'er can go to school, and grandpa and grandma don't have to work as hard as before, helping to support the family at an old age. If you get sick, we have money to hire a doctor.
&nbbsp; Why should we give all this money to the stingy and greedy Tao family?
You don't need to worry. With the guidance of the First-class Lady, we will be able to make more money in the future. By then, will you still be worried that my mother-in-law won't be able to find a daughter-in-law?
By then, who knows how many people will come to our house to propose marriage. By then, we will have to be selective. Is she good-looking? Is she virtuous? Right?"
This was said lightly, but no one in the family could laugh.
"Qingbai, is this what you really think?" The old man, the head of the family, felt relieved and distressed when he heard his grandson's words.
This child is so sensible.
Wan Qingbai nodded seriously, "Grandpa, I am speaking from my heart. The reason why I have not married yet is because our family is so poor. When conditions are better in the future, this will not be a problem."
The old man stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, then listen to Qingbai. We will send Zhanquan to private school tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then we will build a new house. Now, go to bed. Remember to get up early tomorrow and go to other valleys to see if there is still the herb that Madam wants.
Even if you can't find it for the time being, next time you go up the mountain, you should be more vigilant and dig up the herb when you see it and send it to your wife.
Give as much as you can, as long as the lady needs it.
I want you to remember this lady's kindness to our family forever and never forget it."
The whole family, young and old, nodded together. Even if they didn't say anything, they would remember it for the rest of their lives!
"Be quiet and don't disturb them." The old man said worriedly.
Seeing his son, daughter-in-law and grandson all gone out, the old man took the silver and banknotes on the table and walked around the room, wondering where to put them? Where would it be safe?
The next day, when Mu Yingbao opened her eyes, she saw Xue Wenyu had washed up and was sitting beside the felt mat looking at her.
"Not gonna get some more sleep?" he asked, smiling.
Mu Yingbao smiled and shook his head, then he sat up and stretched. "No, let's quickly teach them how to make wine, and then we'll go back early to prepare the herbs." After saying that, he quickly got up and saw that the water for washing was ready.
After leaving the tent, I saw Quan'er squatting outside, playing with ants on the ground with a small wooden stick.
When he looked up and saw Mu Yingbao, he immediately stood up happily; "Madam, I really want to go to Miao Tang's private school."
Mu Yingbao stepped forward and touched his head; "Really? That's great. You must study hard and don't let your family down."
Quaner nodded seriously, "Xiong, Quaner will study hard. Once he learns to read, he won't be cheated by others anymore."
"Being cheated? Someone cheated you? How did they cheat you?" Mu Yingbao asked curiously.
"It was the businessman from the next village who took advantage of my family's illiteracy and swindled us of our few acres of land. I don't know the details because I wasn't born yet. I just heard my mother say that if those acres of land were still there, our family wouldn't have had such a hard time." Quan'er said very sadly.
Xue Wenyu and Lin Chuan had been standing nearby and could hear clearly the conversation between Mu Yingbao and Quan'er.
Quaner nodded seriously, "Xiong, Quaner will study hard. Once he learns to read, he won't be cheated by others anymore."
"Cheated? Someone cheated you? How?" Mu Yingbao asked curiously. "It was the businessman from the next village who took advantage of the fact that none of my family members could read and write and swindled away a few acres of my family's land. I don't know the details because I wasn't born at that time. I just heard my mother say that if those acres of land were still there, our family wouldn't have had such a hard time." Quan'er said very sadly.
Xue Wenyu and Lin Chuan had been standing nearby and could hear clearly the conversation between Mu Yingbao and Quan'er.
Hearing this, Lin Chuan looked at his master.
As soon as Xue Wenyu saw the look on his subordinate's face, he knew that he had the same idea as himself...
