Quick Wear: True and False Life

Chapter 88 The Real Gold Picked Up as a Marriage Substitute 9

Qiu Rui didn't understand and was confused for a long time. But when she couldn't figure it out, she gave up and followed Wei Nan into the horse market.

Wei Nan walked around the horse market and picked out a sick horse with great potential. It might not be a good choice for others, but it was a small matter for her and could be solved with just one pill.

"Uncle, why did you bring this horse here to sell when it's so sick? It's so pitiful." Wei Nan said with a puzzled look.

"This is the horse my son brought back. I discovered after I bought it that it had internal injuries. It became like this because it was not taken good care of." The middle-aged man squatted down and said depressedly.

His son was a scholar, and he bought a horse in order to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination. But after spending the money, the horse turned out to be sick and could not pull the cart, and he could not take good care of it, so he had to take it away and exchange it for some money to buy a donkey instead. He was so heartbroken that he cried, because that was money!

"Then how much money did your kid get cheated out of? Is it worth your heartache?" Qiu Rui behind Wei Nan asked curiously.

"We spent a full sixty taels. If the horse has no internal injuries, we really got a bargain. It's a good war horse."

After hearing this, it’s just like what the uncle said, I don’t know how to evaluate it.

"Then how do you plan to sell it? Can you make back your money?" Wei Nan asked worriedly.

"How can it be possible to pick it up? It would be good enough if we can exchange it for a donkey. Who is stupid enough to buy a sick horse at a high price?" said the middle-aged man worriedly.

"Yeah, so how much do you plan to bid?" Wei Nan asked.

"Twenty taels, and I haven't sold any in a day. If I still can't sell them later, I have to take them back. When will this end?"

"How about this, I have a brother who likes horses and knows a little bit of medicine. These twenty taels should be fine! I'll take you to see him?" Wei Nan tilted his head and said uncertainly.

"Thank you very much, Miss!" After hearing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly stood up and thanked her.

"Then you can just lead the horse and follow! It's a bit far."

"Okay, okay."

Seeing that there was hope of selling the horse, the middle-aged man hurriedly followed, leading the sick horse. It didn't matter if it was far away, as long as he could sell it.

The three of them walked and stopped, and finally arrived at Wei's mansion. Wei Nan asked the middle-aged man to lead the horse into the stable.

"Uncle, keep the twenty taels. This is for you. Thank you for sending the horse to me." After seeing that the horse was tied up, Wei Nan took the twenty taels of silver note handed over by Qiu Rui and said. After thinking for a while, he took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve and gave it to the middle-aged uncle.

The middle-aged man took the twenty-liang silver note and felt relieved. He knew that the young lady was interested in taking care of his business. No matter what the reason was, she gave him what he needed. He took the silver note and thanked her profusely.

"Miss, why did you give him the medicine?" Qiu Rui asked puzzledly.

"Because good people should be helped." Wei Nan looked up at the sky and said seriously.

When Wei Nan saw the middle-aged man, he noticed that he was protected by purple energy. After a closer look, he realized that his son had a disaster in his life, but after it passed, he would have a good future and become a good official who protected the people.

Qiu Rui still didn't understand. She felt that what the young lady said was becoming more and more profound, and her brain couldn't keep up, so she stopped looking into it.

As for the middle-aged man, he rushed home after getting the silver and entered the house in the afterglow of the sun before dark.

"Boss, has the horse been sold?" His wife looked back and saw that the horse had not been brought back, so she asked nervously.

"I met a kind-hearted lady today, and she took pity on me and bought it for me." The middle-aged man said after entering the yard and getting a basin of water.

"Have you explained the situation clearly? Don't get into trouble later." His wife said carefully.

"That's why I say she is kind-hearted! She is willing to buy it in this situation." The middle-aged man said while washing his hands.

"That's good." His wife finally felt relieved after hearing this.

"Where's my son?"

"I went to the village chief's house to deliver a letter. I'll be back soon."

"Mom, I'm back." Fang Yuming shouted as he closed the gate outside the yard.

"Look, it's not coming back."

With that, the three of them went into the house. His wife went to the kitchen to serve the food, while the middle-aged man handed the bottle that the young lady had given him today to his son. He was illiterate, but he only knew that the bottle was translucent, had carvings on it, and felt like jade.

"This is a gift from that lady. It is very beautiful, like jade."

"Let me see," Fang Yuming said, taking it.

Fang Yuming looked at the bottle in his hand. He could recognize it was colored glaze. The carving on it looked like a lotus, but he didn't recognize it. There were also words on it. The light was too dim, so he got up and went to the kitchen. He used the firelight to take a closer look and saw the words "Solid Pill".

He reacted quickly. He immediately took another close look at the bottle, then pulled out the cork. The aroma of medicine instantly wafted out of the bottle. He felt refreshed as soon as he smelled it. It was a good medicine.

Later, I asked my father in detail and found out the origin of the medicine. It seems that the young lady was very generous. This medicine might not be bought for a hundred taels of silver. She would remember this favor.

He dissolved the pill in soup and the three of them ate it together. The second time, they felt much better, their strength increased, and they looked a lot younger. They exclaimed that it was a miracle pill.

On the third day, outside the Wei Mansion.

"Nannan, go early and come back early, and be careful on the road." Grandma held her granddaughter's hand and said with red eyes.

"I got it, grandma." Wei Nan comforted his grandmother.

"Nannan, safety is the most important thing when you are away from home. Remember to write back." Grandpa advised seriously.

"Grandpa, wait for me to come back."

Afterwards, Wei Nan waved to his grandparents, jumped on the carriage, pulled the reins and said, "Grandpa and grandma, take care of yourselves, and help me look after Chunya and Qiurui. Their marriages are coming soon, so let them get married soon."

"Grandma, I know." Grandma said reluctantly.

As Wei Nan drove the carriage farther and farther away, grandma couldn't help but shed tears.

"Don't cry, Sanniang, your granddaughter will be back soon." Grandpa comforted.

Wei Nan walked east after leaving the city. She wanted to visit Yanzhou Prefecture first.

After walking for a day, Wei Nan arrived at a mountain temple before it rained. She scanned the surroundings with her spiritual sense and found signs of habitation nearby, but now only ruins remained. As for the temple, it was still relatively clean.

"Lingxi, Baixi, get off the car. We will stay here tonight." Wei Nan got out of the car and asked Erxiao to get off the car.

After they got off the carriage, Wei Nan took out her bag, left the horses behind, and put the carriage into a space. She planned to take a small road later.

After the horse recovered from its illness, it became very energetic and was named Talan. If Heizi had not noticed that Heizi was pregnant, he would not have met it.

Seeing that it was getting late and there were not many people around, Talang let it eat grass in front of the temple. She took Lingxi and Baixi to the surrounding woods to collect firewood. They collected several bundles and left one bundle for other income.

Lingxi and Baixi blocked the pheasants. With one spell, they all fell to the ground. When she went to pick them up, she realized that she had killed too many of them. She felt embarrassed for a moment.

He used a spell to deal with them all. He strung the pheasants together with vines and hung them on firewood. Then he carried them back and picked some wild fruits, vegetables, leaves, etc.

After returning, Wei Nan first led Talang into the temple and tied it to a pillar near the temple entrance. Then he lit a fire, washed the ingredients, wrapped them into mud balls, and threw them into the fire to roast.
