The village head leaned forward, approached Song Jinxiu, and asked uncertainly, "Could it be one hundred taels?"

His voice was a little trembling, and his small eyes stared at Song Jinxiu without blinking, as if he was expecting God's judgment.

Song Jinxiu smiled mischievously and said softly but clearly, "It's one thousand taels."

"thump"

The village headman lost his balance and slipped off the stool and sat on the ground.

Song Jinxiu: ...

She had wanted to tease this biased yet kind old man, but she hadn't expected him to react so strongly.

The village head hurriedly got up from the ground, holding onto a stool, hunched over, and looked at Song Jinxiu and asked, "What did you say? One, one thousand taels?"

He lowered his voice and asked, "You're not lying, are you?"

Song Jinxiu blinked. She lied. What should she do?

The headman's small eyes were like searchlights, and he didn't dare to shake his hands, for fear that Song Jinxiu would shake her head and deny it.

Song Jinxiu: ...

She really couldn't stand the old man's look.

Never mind. I do have a few hundred taels in my hand anyway. Besides, there is room for improvement. Sooner or later, I will be able to earn a thousand taels.

In order to avoid people suspecting the source of the money, I might as well take this opportunity to get away with it.

Thinking of this, Song Jinxiu said, "Grandpa Lizheng, the man I saved was very rich. Just by touching his body, I found a dozen silver notes. Each note was worth one hundred taels. I counted them and there were exactly ten."

The village head opened his mouth in disbelief.

"Oh my goodness, this is fake, right? Girl, can you show me one to see if it's real?"

"Ah? This, the banknote is real." Song Jinxiu felt like she was shooting herself in the foot.

Why do you have to tease this old man?

Why do you have to be so stubborn?

Now, where can she get the banknotes?

"Well, I gave it to Doctor Li and asked him to change it into silver for me. He didn't have much silver on him, so he gave me four hundred taels first, and he will give me the rest in two days."

As Song Jinxiu spoke, she took out a few ingots of gold and showed them to him.

Unexpectedly, the head of the village glared at her and said angrily, "Oh, you little kid really don't know anything. Don't you know how to be rich unless you show it off?

Also, if you want to exchange banknotes, grandpa will help you. Why bother Doctor Li?

You don't know the origin of this, what if they don't give it to you?

No, I have to go get it back for you. I can only feel at ease if I have the banknote in my own hands."

As he said this, he was about to walk out, and Song Jinxiu was so scared that she quickly grabbed him.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, please don't do this. It makes me lose face."

"Which is more important, face or money?" The village head remained unmoved.

Seeing that he was about to step out of the door, Song Jinxiu hurriedly said, "Grandpa Lizheng, please listen to me. I'll go and get the banknote. If he doesn't give it to me, you can come forward. Okay?"

Song Jinxiu explained, "Doctor Li didn't say he wouldn't give it to me. Besides, we treasure these hundreds of taels of silver like our heart and lungs, but maybe they are nothing in his eyes."

In fact, it was nothing in Song Jinxiu's mind. She didn't have a clear concept of silver. She always felt that one thousand taels was like one thousand yuan, and she didn't feel any burden when she said it out.

How could she know how big a commotion this one thousand taels caused in Songjia Village?

Song Jinxiu: "If you just ask for it like this, it seems like we are afraid that others will take it greedily.

Although I am indeed afraid, everyone has to save face, right? Besides, my brother's leg still needs to be treated here, right? "

Seeing the village head hesitate and stop, Song Jinxiu hurriedly said:

"Well, I'll go and ask for it, saying you want to use the money to buy us some land. It's a silver note, so what? With you here, who's to worry about not being able to exchange it for silver?"

The village head nodded and said, "Well, okay, just say that. Go ahead, I'll wait here. If he doesn't give it to you, come find me."

"Yes, yes, that Jinfang, pour some water for the village head."

Song Chunsheng wanted to say: Where did the one thousand taels come from? Isn't it just ten taels?

But when he saw that his elder sister's words were so convincing, he began to believe it a little.

Although the eldest sister lies without thinking, she would not deceive the village head grandfather.

After all, if you can't come up with the money, won't you be exposed?

Moreover, he didn't know why, but he inexplicably believed in his sister, and whatever she did was justified.

It’s no wonder that Song Chunsheng was calm. In fact, he, like Song Jinfang, thought that copper coins were the real money.

As for silver, I have never seen it in my life. I only got to know about it in the past few days.

Moreover, when he had the silver, he had to convert it into copper coins in his mind for a long time before he could understand how much one piece of silver was worth.

But Song Jinxiu went to the front hall in a depressed mood, and felt worried when she saw the back of Doctor Li who was sitting in the clinic.

It's not like that, why are you asking for banknotes?

Or, should I go to the pawn shop and pawn something else?

Well, this is the only way, otherwise she really won’t be able to get these few hundred taels.

After seeing a patient, Doctor Li looked up and saw Song Jinxiu walking out.

He quickly stood up and came to her side, "Hey, little sister-in-law, are you going out? Is there something you need? I'll go with you."

faint!

Song Jinxiu rolled her eyes rudely, "Who is your master's aunt? Doctor Li, please don't yell at me."

"It will be soon. I've already written to my grandfather about this. He will definitely agree to take you in as his disciple. I'm calling him a few days in advance so that when he officially accepts you as his disciple, I can call him that."

Song Jinxiu was in a bad mood and spoke a little aggressively.

"Did I say I wanted to study medicine? If you tell me to, I have to become your disciple? My master...my brother has long said that I can do anything, but I'm not cut out to be a doctor."

"Oh, why did he say that? You're such a genius, it's a shame not to learn medicine. I'll go talk to him."

"Hey, you can't go."

The village head is still here.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure flash by. Looking carefully, she saw that the old man peeking out of the backyard door was none other than the village head.

Are you worried and following her out to monitor her?

Song Jinxiu quickly stood in front of Doctor Li and said with a wry smile, "Doctor Li, I want to discuss something with you."

Doctor Li asked in confusion, "What's the matter? Let's talk while we walk. Don't block the road."

Song Jinxiu whispered, "Ma Fei San, that is..."

"What's wrong with Ma Fei San?" Doctor Li suddenly raised his voice.

Doctor Li then looked surprised and asked, "You, you, you don't know the secret recipe of Ma Fei San, do you?"

Song Jinxiu was stunned. "Don't you know what Ma Fei San is? Why are you so excited?"

Doctor Li glared at him, "Nonsense! Which doctor doesn't know about Ma Fei San? The Medical Saint and his Ma Fei San are legendary. Our family is famous for treating injuries, and I grew up listening to his legend.

It is said that the Medical Saint was imprisoned because he was unwilling to become Cao Gong's personal doctor.

In order to pass on his medical skills, the Medical Sage gave his medical work "Qing Nang Shu" to the prison officials.

But the official was a coward and was afraid of being implicated, so he did not accept the letter. In a fit of rage, the Medical Saint burned the book.

Although the prison officials retrieved the "Qing Nang Shu", the book had been burned into fragments, resulting in the loss of many recipes, including Ma Fei San.

Oh, what a pity, what a pity."

Doctor Li beat his chest and stamped his feet in regret for a while, then suddenly grabbed Song Jinxiu and said, "You have it, right? You must have it, right?"

"I have a ball with you. That day you pretended to be serious and said you didn't know what Ma Fei San was, so I believed you."

Song Jinxiu pulled her hand back angrily. Why was this guy using such strong force?

"What are you doing? Are you trying to shirk your responsibility?"

At this moment, the village head's stern shout rang out behind them.

Song Jinxiu: ...

Why is this old man so full of energy? Didn't he scare her?
