After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

Day two.

Xie Linghe headed for Changhai Town early in the morning.

At 1:15 pm, we arrived at Changhai Town and came to a pharmacy - Gushengtang.

There were five shops with their doors wide open. Before you even got close, you could smell a strong aroma of medicine. The people inside were dispensing medicine, taking pulses, and settling accounts, each doing their own job.

She stepped inside.

Immediately, a medicine boy greeted her with a smile: "Sir, would you like to get medicine or see a doctor?"

Xie Linghe: "Collecting medicinal herbs?"

Hear the words.

The medicine boy's smile faded slightly, but he still nodded and replied, "Yes, but our shop has very high requirements for the herbs it collects. You are not a professional herbalist, so you may not be able to meet our requirements."

Xie Linghe nodded.

This is understandable.

However, even if her wild ginseng is not of such good quality, there is no need to worry about the herbal medicine store not buying it.

As she opened the package, she said, "Do you think this is okay?"

The medicine boy's expression suddenly changed when he saw it, and then he smiled warmly: "Miss, please wait a moment, I will go and call my master over."

Xie Linghe nodded modestly.

soon.

The medicine boy came over with a white-haired old doctor and pointed at Xie Linghe and said, "Master, this is the girl."

The old doctor said gently, "Young lady, please come to the counter."

Xie Linghe: "Okay."

She stopped in front of the counter and placed the package on the counter. The old doctor picked it up carefully, examined it carefully, and nodded: "Well, it's in good condition, about ten years old."

He pulled out a little bit of roots and put them in his mouth.

“The medicine is very effective.”

Then he put it down and smiled at Xie Linghe, "Miss, I see that the ginseng you dug is intact. Did you dig it yourself?"

Xie Linghe nodded: "That's right."

The doctor then asked, "Are there any elders in your family who collect herbs?"

Xie Linghe said vaguely, "About the same."

My roommate from my previous life can be considered family...right?

She didn't want to talk any more, so she asked directly, "Doctor, how much do I sell this ginseng for?"

The doctor pondered for a moment and replied, "Well, I'll give you two hundred taels of silver for one tael of ginseng. What do you think?"

Two hundred taels of silver for one tael?

This ginseng is not big, only about 20 grams at most, so that would be 40 liang? (PS: In ancient times, one jin was 16 liang, so this article assumes 10 liang.)

Quite a few.

Xie Linghe calculated silently in his mind and nodded readily to the doctor: "Okay."

"Well."

The doctor immediately picked it up and weighed it.

"Well, a little over one-fifth of an ounce, I'll give you forty-two ounces. What do you think?"

Xie Linghe nodded immediately: "Just do as the doctor says."

Two taels of silver more than I expected, this is a pleasant surprise, hehe.

"it is good."

The doctor took her to the accounting office and weighed out forty-two taels of silver for him on the spot.

Xie Linghe did not ask for large lumps of silver, but only small amounts.

Wrapped in the package.

She hid it in her arms and walked out of the pharmacy.

Xie Linghe smiled brightly: "I'm rich now~"

She counted the money in her mind: she had one hundred coins on her person, and there were two taels of silver, one hundred and forty-four coins, at home.

Plus these forty-two taels of silver.

The total amount is 44 taels of silver and 244 coins.

"That's enough. If I add a few dozen more, I can buy a farm nearby, or a shop in town."

"It would be great if I could find another wild ginseng. Even if there's no wild ginseng, it's okay if there's Ganoderma lucidum... Hey, finding a wild ginseng is already a stroke of luck. Don't dream!"

"Instead of hoping for something good to happen, it's better to rely on Xie Boyuan!"

Speaking of it.

She suddenly remembered that Xie Boyuan was supposed to release the monthly test results today, so she directly connected to the secondary system.

In the study.

It seems that the years are peaceful, but in fact the atmosphere is weird.

She looked around and didn't see Master Liu. Everyone was studying with books in their hands, but they were all distracted, their eyes all falling on Xie Boyuan and Bai Lingxing.

Xie Linghe muttered, "Hasn't the results been announced yet?"

"Xiao Xi, what time is it now?"

System: "Replying to the host, it is now 9:50."

Xie Linghe nodded, wondering: "This shouldn't be..."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Master Liu walked in from the door holding the answer sheet.

Everyone straightened their backs at the same time and looked at him with burning eyes.

Master Liu's expression was serious as he spoke word by word, "I've read all the answers to yesterday's monthly exam. I'm very disappointed in you."

Hear the words.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

"Based on the level of your answers yesterday, I advise most of you not to take the entrance exam. You won't pass anyway."

The air seemed suffocating.

When Xie Linghe saw this scene through the system, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

So familiar.

It was as if I saw my high school homeroom teacher...

next moment.

Master Liu's expression softened, and he said, "However, there are a few who are quite good. If they perform at their normal level, they should have no problem passing the entrance exam."

Hear this.

Everyone had different expressions.

Those who were just getting by didn't take it seriously, those who felt guilty breathed a sigh of relief, and some outstanding people like Bai Lingxing raised their chins proudly.

Xie Boyuan was the calmest.

After all, the system had already graded his paper yesterday, and he got all the questions from Master Liu right.

Master Liu cleared his throat twice and took out a piece of paper: "I've listed the top ten."

The main event is coming.

Upon hearing this, both Xie Linghe and the others in the study hall held their breath.

Master Liu said calmly: "First of all, the first place."

"To be honest, I didn't expect him to do so well in the exam. On some questions, even I might not be able to answer them as well as he did."

Everyone looked suspicious.

"Who?"

"It actually makes the Master feel ashamed..."

"Could it be that our private school is going to produce a genius?"

"..."

Bai Lingxing frowned.

He asked himself if his level was any better than Master Liu's.

He has been a student on government stipend for decades, and he always ranks among the top three in the county's annual examinations every year.

Sui Chunsheng felt inexplicably uneasy.

According to what the teacher said, the first place this time is a dark horse?

who can that be?

He subconsciously looked at Xie Boyuan. He was calm and composed, which made him look extraordinary among the restless crowd.

Could it be him...

This thought subconsciously popped up in Sui Chunsheng's mind, and the next moment he shook his head fiercely: Am I crazy? Don't I know his level? How could it be him?

Correct.

impossible.

Master Liu ignored the whispers of the crowd, looked towards the corner behind him, and laughed loudly, "Bo Yuan, come up and get your test paper back."

Xie Boyuan stood up and walked forward with a calm expression.

See this.

The entire school was in complete silence, and everyone looked at Xie Boyuan in disbelief.

The teacher asked Xie Boyuan to get the test paper, which means... he is the first place?

How can it be? !

No one wants to believe it.

Master Liu and Xie Boyuan paid them no attention. Master Liu smiled and handed him the test paper, saying, "Come to my study at noon. Tell me how you came up with the solution to that law question."

Xie Boyuan nodded: "Okay, Master."

Seeing the Master's attitude, there is no need to doubt it anymore.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Bai Lingxing stood up, his face livid: "This is impossible!"
