Farming and reading family

There is always a way to deal with every problem, and there is always a solution.

"Where is he?" Gao E hadn't seen Xiao Chuyun for a while.

"He hasn't come back since he went into the mountains for three days." Bai Hao wondered if something might have happened to Xiao Chuyun.

"Let him come find me when he comes back." Gao E didn't know when Xiao Chuyun would come back.

She didn't think that anything would happen to Xiao Chuyun, after all, he didn't go into the mountains alone.

"Okay." Bai Hao nodded.

After leaving Luo Dagang's house, Gao E did not go home directly, but went to find Uncle Sun, also about the medicinal herbs.

Most of the herbs here are in the back mountain, but some of them grow in more dangerous places.

Those places are dangerous for ordinary people, but they are nothing to Lu Qingluo. Gao E plans to discuss with Lu Qingluo and let her go to pick them when the time comes.

She thought she could save a lot of money this way, but Uncle Sun poured a bucket of cold water on her head.

"These common herbs are cheap. Although they account for the majority of the quantity, they only account for one-tenth or one-twelfth of the price." Uncle Sun didn't know why Gao E bought so many herbs.

Gao E felt terrible: "Thank you, Uncle Sun, for reminding me."

"This is still the normal amount you can buy. If you encounter herbs that are in short supply, it's not just a matter of money." Doctor Sun continued to remind.

Gao E agreed with a smile.

After leaving Uncle Sun's house, Gao E must have felt a little depressed. It turned out that her family was poor and she couldn't afford to suffer even if she got some unexpected windfall.

This is just the expenses for Zhenghui and Yunzhou. Those other children will have their own ideas and they are all money-eating beasts.

The next day, Zhu Mo obediently returned to Hui County to see his grandfather.

"She asked me to go fishing?" Xu Boyan repeated uncertainly.

Zhu Mo was very sure: "Yes."

Xu Boyan has been analyzing the situation in the capital these days and has not yet decided what to do, so he has not asked Gao E to borrow a carrier pigeon.

But he didn't expect Gao E to take the initiative to find him first.

"Has anything happened in Baotou Village these days?" Xu Boyan was a little suspicious.

Zhu Mo thought about it carefully: "Peng Can's wife is pregnant, and a family's piglet died, so they need to distribute the meat to the villagers..."

"Stop!" Xu Boyan interrupted Zhu Mo.

If you let him continue, he might even bring up whose dog was barking at night.

"I'm talking about the Chen family." Xu Boyan looked at Zhu Mo.

"Gao's second son and a man named Yunzhou became Senior Chu's disciples, and Senior Chu wrote a letter to an old friend of his..." Zhu Mo began to list these things again.

Xu Boyan looked at Zhu Mo. She had only been in Baotou Village for a few days, so how come she had become the gossiping woman at the entrance of the village?

Zhu Mo thought he was right.

"Get ready and go." Xu Boyan did not delay.

Gao E prepared her fishing rod. She hadn't fished for a long time. Although she wasn't very good at it before, she only fished with others when discussing business.

"If you want to eat fish, just catch it. It's too troublesome to fish by hooking." Lu Qingluo watched Gao E fiddling with the fishing line.

"Two different things." Gao E put away the fishing line.

Lu Qingluo felt there was no difference.

As the two were chatting, Xu Boyan and Zhu Mo came in from outside. Zhu Mo was unwilling to go forward when he saw Lianxin in the yard.

Lu Qingluo glanced at Zhu Mo, who turned around and looked outside, pretending he saw nothing.

"Lord Xu, so fast." Gao E stood up.

"Since Madam Chen has invited me, I naturally dare not neglect it." Xu Boyan even changed the way he called himself.

"Then let's go. If we can catch some fish now, we can have some to eat today." Gao E signaled Lu Qingluo to pick up the fishing gear.

Xu Boyan wanted Zhu Mo to carry the fishing gear, but Zhu Mo stood at the door and refused to come in, so he had no choice but to agree: "Okay."

It was the hottest time of the year when the sun was high in the sky. Weeds grew everywhere on the beach, but there were no trees to provide shade. Gao E only brought an umbrella.

Seeing Gao E sitting by the pond with an umbrella, Xu Boyan knew that Gao E did it on purpose.

"Mrs. Chen, if you have anything to say, please just tell me." Xu Boyan put down the fishing rod and stopped looking at it.

"I want to borrow some money from Lord Xu." Gao E said directly.

"Are you asking me to borrow money?" Xu Boyan thought of many reasons, but this was the only one he thought of.

"Yes." Gao E said seriously, "Master Xu can make millions from a single scheme, so he should have plenty of money."

Xu Boyan really wasn't short of money: "How much do you want to borrow?"

"Ten thousand taels." Gao E looked at Xu Boyan.

Xu Boyan thought Gao E had a big appetite: "Is Madam Chen's purse bottomless? No matter how much money comes to you, it will leak out."

You know, she took more than 30,000 taels of silver at one time, which is enough for a farmer to spend in three lifetimes. Now it’s gone?

"You reap what you sow. I must sow some money." Gao E said jokingly.

Xu Boyan didn't know what Gao'e wanted so much money for. "I'll send it to you tomorrow," he said, standing up. "You could have just said it directly. There's no need to make such a fuss."

Gao E didn't expect Xu Boyan to be so straightforward: "You have to be sincere."

Xu Boyan thought that this was not sincerity at all, they just wanted to sunbathe him to death: "I don't deserve it." He said and left.

Gao E didn't stay here for long. It was too hot even with an umbrella.

In fact, this is her clam pond. If Xu Boyan doesn't lend her money so readily, she will tell Xu Boyan that she can afford it.

It’s a pity that all the preparations were in vain.

Zhu Mo looked back after walking a long way, then asked their master uncertainly: "Will you really lend her so much money at once?"

"As long as the money is useful, it's fine." Xu Boyan said indifferently.

He helped Prince Qing set up the scheme and also kept a lot of benefits for himself, so he was indeed not short of money.

Gao E was willing to borrow money from him, which meant that their cooperation could be long-lasting.

Zhu Mo stopped asking: "I will go back with you today."

"You guys continue to stay in Baotou Village." Xu Boyan had no intention of taking him back.

Zhu Mo felt very disappointed, but he had no choice but to stay.

Ten thousand taels is definitely a huge sum of money, but after Gao E divided it, there was not much left. Fortunately, Xiao Chuyun came back from the mountains.

He looked at the herbs on the list and confirmed that there were several species in the mountains that Doctor Sun had not mentioned, but they grew deep in the mountains and most herbalists would not go in.

"Then we can only buy the rest." Gao E looked at the list.

"I guess we have to go directly to Qinzhou City to buy it. The county may not have a complete supply." Xiao Chuyun suggested.

If He County really cannot match the supplies, it would be better to go directly to Qinzhou City to buy them.

But given the current situation in Qinzhou City, I always feel that something will happen as long as I go there.

"Have you been going into the mountains these days?" Gao E saw that Xiao Chuyun looked exhausted.

"Let's not go in yet. Plant the plants we brought back and make some records." Xiao Chuyun said with a smile.

Now that he has no worries, he can concentrate on going into the mountains to identify plants and trees, and he feels more energetic.

Gao E thought for a moment and said, "Luo Dagang's yard isn't very big. Go look around the village for a place to use as a nursery. If it's suitable, I'll buy it for you."

Xiao Chuyun was excited: "Is it okay?"

"Why not?" Gao E felt that Xiao Chuyun had already taken a fancy to someone.

"It's the area at the corner behind the village." Xiao Chuyun said directly.
