The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

"That's why I asked Lord Zhu to keep it for me for half a month. If I can't afford it by then, Lord Zhu can release it. How about that?" Song Yuntang actually had no idea whether she could earn so much money in half a month. She just felt that the opportunity was rare and she wanted to give it a try.

Zhu Deming agreed without thinking.

"Okay, then I'll give you half a month."

After chatting with him some more about the Huang family, Song Yuntang said goodbye and left.

She spent three taels of silver to book an inn on the outskirts of the city, and arranged for the forty-two families to stay there. She told them to gather at the county government office gate at 9:00 a.m. the next day and then go home.

On the way home, she bought some exquisite little boxes, as well as some herbs and materials.

On the way home carrying a lot of bags, I happened to see Cao Shun, the grandson of Wu next door, jogging home.

"Shunzi."

Cao Shun seemed to have not expected to meet Song Yuntang here.

He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Sister, you're back. I didn't notice you just now. Don't mind, sister."

Seeing that she was carrying a lot of things in her hands, I hurried over to help her share the burden.

"Let me help my sister carry some things. I'm going home right now, so we're on the same way."

Song Yuntang nodded and gave him some of the things in his hand.

"Shunzi, what do you want to be when you grow up?" she asked as they walked.

Cao Shun looked bewildered, "I don't know."

Song Yuntang looked at him and said, "I want to open a clinic in the county town. Are you interested in coming to help?"

Cao Shun certainly thought that this way he could reduce the burden on his grandmother, but he didn't understand anything.

"what can I do?"

"Start as a little medicine boy and help me. When I have free time, I can teach you to identify medicinal herbs and learn pharmacology. If you have talent, I will slowly teach you to identify the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body until you can diagnose pulses and prescribe medicine by yourself."

Cao Shun thought to himself, doesn't Sister Song mean that she wants to take him in as her disciple?

He immediately put his things down and knelt down towards her.

Song Yuntang was startled by his sudden action.

"What are you doing?"

Cao Shun kowtowed in front of her.

"Meet the Master."

Seeing his series of actions, Song Yuntang couldn't help but feel funny, she stepped forward and pulled him up.

"I didn't say I wanted to take you in as my apprentice. My requirements for taking in an apprentice are very high."

"I'm not afraid of hardship." Cao Shun looked at her. "As long as Master is willing to teach, I will definitely learn seriously."

Song Yuntang did not object nor did he agree immediately.

"There's no rush for this. Let me observe you first. If you're talented, I'll definitely teach you well."

Cao Shun hurriedly picked up his things and followed her.

"Okay, Master."

When Song Yuntang returned home, Xu Qingye had already returned.

Cao Shun moved the things into the yard and placed them on the stone table.

"Master, I'm going home first."

Song Yuntang nodded and watched him leave.

There was a hint of surprise in Xu Qingye's eyes.

"Master?"

Song Yuntang explained while sorting his things.

"I wanted to open a clinic in the county town, so I asked him if he was willing to work as a medicine boy. The boy thought I wanted to take him in as my apprentice, and kept calling me Master. I figured it was just a title after all, so I let him do it."

Dinner was prepared and brought over by Mrs. Wu.

After dinner, Xu Qingye went back to his room to read. Song Yuntang was afraid that he would disturb him, so he lit a lamp and went to the side room to take out the materials he bought today one by one.

If you want to make ten thousand taels of silver quickly, you have to rely on some special means.

It is always easy to make money from women. She wants to make some pills and mix rouge by herself. When the time comes, she will ask Madam Zhu to deliver them as a gift to the ladies in the county town who want to open a clinic, one for each of them. She will also mention her idea of ​​using these things to find a partner.

The ladies in the county town have been taught how to manage the household since childhood, and they have to learn how to do business. Anyone who has used her things should know the value of these products.

The couple were busy with their own work, and before they knew it, the moon had risen to halfway in the sky.

Xu Qingye closed the book in his hand, rubbed his sore eyes, and stood up.

He was feeling a little sleepy, and he didn't know what that girl was busy with. It was already midnight and she still hadn't gone to bed.

The room was quiet. Perhaps tired from a busy day, Song Yuntang was sleeping quietly on the table in front of the window. Through the window by the door, one could just see half of her pretty face under the candlelight.

When she fell asleep, she looked like a porcelain doll.

It's so heartbreaking.

Xu Qingye gently opened the door, blew out the light, picked up the girl and walked towards their bedroom.

Maybe she was really too tired, or maybe it was because Xu Qingye was by her side and she felt safe, the girl nestled in the man's arms, not showing any sign of waking up.

……

The next day, Song Yuntang got up very early.

After dinner, I went directly to the county government office.

The entire Huang family, young and old, was thrown into jail last night, including Huang Heyu, who was released from jail yesterday. He had slept on straw in jail for a month. He thought he could have a good sleep on his comfortable and soft bed at home with his wife and concubines in his arms last night, but he was taken away by people from the yamen as soon as he stepped into the Huang family's door.

I am still confused.

Mr. Huang knelt in the hall, looking in the direction of Zhu Deming with a face full of grievance.

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, we haven't done anything wrong recently and have always behaved ourselves. Why did you suddenly order us all to be brought here?"

Zhu Deming winked at Master Qin who was standing beside him.

"Please read the contents of the petition to Mr. Huang."

"Yes."

Lawyer Qin stood up, picked up the petition submitted by Song Yuntang yesterday and began to read it.

The more Mr. Huang listened, the uglier his expression became.

"Your Excellency, these are all false accusations. Our Huang family has been doing their duty honestly and has never harmed anyone. I hope you will understand."

Zhu Deming looked at him coldly.

"Master Huang, considering your previous contributions to Anyang County, I will spare your life if you confess the truth."

Huang Maodian panicked and kowtowed quickly.

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, this incident must be caused by someone who covets our Huang family and has colluded with the people behind the scenes to falsely accuse us. Could you please tell me who wrote this petition? I can confront this person face to face."

This charge cannot be admitted.

Once he admits it, he will surely die.

Not only that, the entire Huang family will be implicated, and the huge family business will be destroyed.

"it's me."

Song Yuntang led the people to the gate of the county government office, and the onlookers made way for her.

She smiled faintly as she entered the county government office. After bowing to Zhu Deming, she looked at Huang Maodian and asked, "How does Mr. Huang intend to confront me?"

The moment he saw her, Huang Heyu became angry.

"Bitch, it's actually you! How dare you slander my Huang family and confuse right and wrong? Don't even think about leaving here today!"

As he said this, he was about to go forward and grab her.

Seeing this, the yamen runner nearby hit him on the knee with a stick, causing his legs to go limp and he fell to the ground.
