Chapter 10 Lucky
Grandpa Xie does everything he can. Although his second son is not lovable, his thoughtfulness and meticulousness are unparalleled by the other two sons.
"Don't worry, even if it's your mother, I won't say much for the time being."
In fact, Xie Xiuwen had already made an agreement with the private school that he would leave after the end of this month, but he still had to keep it a secret.
As for the so-called secrets between father and mother, they can only keep it secret for ten or eight days.
It was almost the end of the month, and by the time his mother found out, he would have already gone to Fucheng, but he still had to make arrangements at home to prevent his wife and daughter from being mistreated by their family again.
Xie Rongzhao got dressed in the morning and went to ask his father about his trip to the mountain today.
Xie Rongzhao was full of confidence, but she didn't believe that Xie Rongrong could dig up Ganoderma lucidum, but she couldn't!
Xie Rongrong saw Xie Rongzhao going to the front yard, so she opened the door and went in, heading straight for the old table by the window.
This old desk was used by Xie Rongzhao after it was repaired by Xie Xiuwen when he was a child. It is very old, and the original color of the paint on it can no longer be seen clearly. Although it is not valuable, it bears the memory of his father's childhood, so Xie Rongzhao has always
like very much.
Xie Rongrong searched for a long time, but could not find the jewelry she had lost. Feeling unwilling to do so, she thought of going to her bed to look around again.
Xie Rongzhao's room was very small. It was the utility room of the previous home, and the window was also very small. Xie Rongzhao's bed was also replaced from the previous eldest room. As soon as Xie Rongrong helped Xie Rongrong to the bed, there was a squeaking sound.
After all, he had a guilty conscience. Xie Rongrong was frightened for a moment by this sound. After cursing something bad, he was thinking about continuing when he heard the voices of people outside and had no choice but to retreat immediately.
However, due to the lack of time, Xie Rongrong did not have time to lock the door.
When Xie Rongzhao came back, he saw that the door of the house was slightly ajar and the lock was open, and he knew something in his mind.
Sure enough, the house showed signs of being searched.
Xie Rongzhao quietly took the twisted wet handkerchief and wiped the inside and outside of his makeup box. Then he wiped the tabletop and window lattice to make sure they were clean and without traces.
After Xie Rongzhao had done all this, she went to the corner to get her own small shovel and her own small backpack, and went up the mountain with her father.
Xie Rongzhao did not forget to take out the money box he had hidden earlier and wanted to take it over to show off to his father.
The money control in the Dazhi Dynasty was relatively strict, and ordinary people basically had no access to gold and silver. The main currency in circulation was copper coins. This is why Xie Xiuran actually thought of sending his niece to pay off the debt after he wrote down a note owed fifty taels of silver.
One of the main reasons.
Xie Xiuran wrote in silver on the IOU, so he would naturally have to repay the silver. If the debt was to be offset with copper coins, it would depend on whether the owner was willing. Moreover, if the debt was repaid with copper coins, the other party would have to pay more before he would give up.
A common currency is one thousand coins, which can be exchanged for about one tael of silver. This mainly depends on the price of grain. The exchange of silver coins and copper coins is generally based on the price of grain and is not fixed.
Ordinary people would tie up money with hemp rope or cotton rope, and tie a hundred coins into a string, which is called a string of money.
"Yes, our Zhaozhao is really capable, and we have saved so much. Is this specially given to me?"
Xie Rongzhao pushed the money in the direction of Xie Xiuwen with a sweet voice: "Give it to Dad, Dad will study for the scientific examination and become a high official in the future!"
This is money saved for nearly a year!
These are all red envelopes given to me by my grandparents during the Chinese New Year. It is not easy to save them until now.
Xie Xiuwen didn't miss the look of distress in Xie Rongzhao's eyes, and laughed happily.
After all, he is still a child with a sincere heart, but this hundred cents is quite difficult for a five-year-old child to save.
"Okay, okay, our little boy is the best! Let's go, daddy will take you up the mountain."
Xie Rongzhao was full of confidence, waving her little fists and pumping her short legs very happily, but before she left the house too far, she was out of breath.
Without it, he is too short, his physical strength is too weak, and my dad’s steps are too big.
Xie Xiuwen heard his daughter's gasping, and then he slapped his forehead: "It's Daddy who was careless. Come on, Daddy will carry you up the mountain."
One big and one small walked slowly towards the foot of the mountain.
Occasionally I meet a few acquaintances on the road, and it is indispensable to say hello.
After Xie Rongzhao had a new life, he naturally knew the benefits of being sweet. When he saw these relatives and neighbors, he naturally called out sweetly. The soft and cute voice, coupled with the cute smile, made the big guy
I think this child is so sensible and well-behaved!
The father and daughter walked around the mountain for more than half an hour, but found nothing. Of course, it was impossible for them to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. At the very least, they had to get some medicinal materials or hunt a pheasant.
It's a pity that Xie Xiuwen has no hunting skills, and Xie Rongzhao hasn't found a single valuable medicinal plant so far, isn't he a little frustrated?
Xie Rongzhao sighed. At such a young age, this sighing gesture was actually a bit cute. As she walked, she thought about how Xie Rongrong was so lucky and could pick Ganoderma lucidum in no time. This was really a bracelet for her.
Good luck?
Xie Rongzhao subconsciously looked at the silver-wired branch bracelet on his wrist, and he felt a little suspicious in his heart. If this bracelet really brought good luck, then why did he not collect a single bead of Ganoderma lucidum after going up the mountain for so long?
Xie Xiuwen was not in a hurry. He took Guabao up the mountain mainly to relax and let Guabao forget the unpleasantness as soon as possible. He didn't want to make Guabao fall ill again due to fright when he left.
The two have different purposes, so their mentality is naturally different.
Xie Rongzhao was a little anxious. If she didn't have money, even if grandma nodded, she would definitely nag her and even deduct money from her father. She didn't want her father to fail the imperial examination because of the lack of money.
Zhizhi, lowered his head and glanced at the small bracelet, reached out with his right hand and touched it: It's up to you whether you can change your destiny!
Xie Rongzhao was carrying a small bamboo basket on her back and a relatively small shovel in her hand. This was specially made for her by her father. It was not particularly sharp and was sufficient for cutting grass.
"Dad, what is this?"
Although Xie Rongzhao has some suspicions, she is still young after all. She can't say that she knows medicinal materials that she has never seen before, right?
Xie Xiuwen held her little hand and walked a few more steps. Because they relied on the mountains, most of the farmers here had some knowledge of common medicinal herbs. However, Xie Xiuwen was not sure about the one that appeared now, so he was careful.
He stepped forward and took out a knife from the basket, thinking about digging it out and taking a look.
Unexpectedly, I was really lucky this time!
What Xie Rongzhao discovered turned out to be a Gastrodia elata!
