Chapter 174
In clinics, especially those with a certain reputation, ginseng is an indispensable medicinal herb. Some people even use this type of precious medicinal herb as a treasure in the store, thereby attracting more popularity and becoming the name of a famous doctor.
Most doctors need fame not for profit. Real doctors are happy in life by overcoming various difficult and complicated diseases and relieving the pain of the patients in their hands. Of course, all this is based on the strength of the doctor. Otherwise, if no patients ask them to treat the disease, how can they become a famous doctor?
The doctor of Zhirentang is surnamed Zhao and has a certain reputation in Yunlai County. Doctor Zhao himself is also the boss of Zhirentang. Nowadays, Zhirentang has a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum as the treasure of the store. However, the doctor does not think that there are many good medicines. Ginseng that is fifty years old can be called a treasure. It is rare to have ginseng that is more than a hundred years old, let alone the one in the hands of mulberry leaves that is more than three hundred years old?
As Sang Ye expected, when Dr. Zhao saw that Gan Xin was happy, he had never thought about lowering the price. He gave a high price of 600 taels of silver as soon as he opened his mouth. These 600 taels of silver were already all the silver that Zhirentang could take out.
Mulberry leaves have been in the capital and know where the price bottom line of ginseng is. If she is a doctor with low medical ethics, she may only pay 400 taels of silver at most. So she took advantage of ginseng without thinking, and even thought that she would prepare bitter intestine grass when she had time and sell it to Zhirentang.
Taking the 500 taels of silver notes given by Dr. Zhao and a large bag of 100 taels of silver, Sang Ye kicked the silver notes in his arms and threw a large bag of heavy silver to Zheng Lin.
Zheng Lin carried the heavy burden on his back with resolute efforts, said goodbye to Sang Ye, Dr. Zhao walked out of the clinic, and then drove the ox cart straight towards the direction where Yunxiao Academy was.
At this time, Mu was preparing to cook lunch. Yu and Yue Niang were sitting under the eaves that were not sunny. When they saw mulberry leaves and Zheng Lin coming, they were twisting a few pheasants and hares in their hands. The three of them were so happy that they hurriedly welcomed the people into the house.
"Mom, today I have made a small fortune. You can keep these silver for household use. Don't save what you should buy." Sang Ye took the bag from Zheng Lin's hand, spread the bag on the table and opened it. Under the dull eyes of the mother and the three of them, he took out about twenty taels of broken silver and handed it to Mu.
It’s not that she was stingy and unwilling to give more money. The house was rented out. She was not very familiar with her neighbors and didn’t know her personal character. It was not safe to put too much money here at once, and her mother was afraid that she would not feel at ease.
However, Mu was already uneasy after seeing the large bag of silver.
She ignored the twenty taels of silver, dragged her daughter to the corner of the living room, and asked anxiously: "What are you doing? Why did you take out so much money at once? You shouldn't have done something bad, right?"
Mang Ye was covered in black lines and looked at his mother and said unhappily: "It turns out that in my mother's heart, I'm so unreliable!"
"You are still poor, and you are still talking to your mother? Tell me quickly, what good things are you doing, otherwise you will even move a mountain of gold, and your mother doesn't want it." Mu poked his daughter's forehead and threatened with a fierce look.
It’s not that she doesn’t believe in her daughter’s character, but she just saw so much money at once, and the impact was too great, which disrupted her nerves and forced her to think more.
"Okay, okay, I said, I said, I said, I said, but it's not possible!"
Sang Ye knew her mother's temperament and would definitely not ask for it if she didn't tell her where the money came from. It was normal to have a way of getting money from where the money came from. There was nothing that could not be said, so she briefly explained the process of selling ginseng.
After hearing this, Mu breathed a sigh of relief, then hugged his daughter and said with a smile: "My daughter is lucky. She may not be able to touch good things if she goes up the mountain a hundred times. If you pick up 600 taels in one go, I'm afraid no one will believe me if you say it."
"No, mom, don't tell me about this. Our family is already eye-catching enough. If you let people know that I dug up ginseng and sold it for 600 taels, don't think about peace." Sang Ye said it to others when his mother was happy, and was so scared that she immediately snatched her thoughts.
"I know, I know, do you think your mother is stupid and don't understand the reason why you don't show your wealth?" Mu poked his daughter's forehead, very dissatisfied with her daughter's underestimation.
No one family has two relatives who are not worth five or six. Although they have not been in contact with those unrestrained relatives over the years, they are safe because their own poverty makes them unable to get benefits.
After these years, Ningning had passed. If they knew that their family had reached the level, they would probably have to pounce on them like a fly smelling blood.
"Hehe, aren't I afraid that you will forget it when you are excited?" Sang Ye held his mother's arm and said nice things, and did not forget to praise himself: "Six hundred taels of silver are nothing. With your daughter's ability, when I grow our flower sauce business, it will be no problem to make 100 taels of rice."
Seeing that his daughter's little tail was almost overturned to the sky, Mu couldn't help but joke: "Okay, when you earn 100, 600 taels, my mother will lie on the bed waiting for you to respect you."
But Sang Ye listened to this sentence, held a smile and looked at his mother and said solemnly: "Mom, don't wait for me to earn 100, 600 taels. At the end of the year, our family will choose a good place to build a big house for you and your father to live in, and buy two little girls to serve you so that you can enjoy your happiness without getting tired."
This was once a small wish of the original body, and now it is also her wish. She did not have the opportunity to respect her parents in her previous life, which became a regret for the rest of her life. If she had the opportunity to make up for it in this life, she would not miss it again.
Mu's eyes were wet, and she cried and laughed: "At the end of the year, you will be someone else's wife. You and Alin are serious in your life. As long as you are well, your mother will be happier than living in a big house and letting the girl serve him."
The topic suddenly turned so far, Sang Ye didn't react at first. When she noticed that her mother's voice was not sure that someone had heard it, she said with some shame: "Mom, what else are you saying? To be filial to you and your father, can you live a good life with me without conflict."
Seeing her daughter's rare expression, Mu Shi was so rare that she didn't laugh at her. She looked up at her son-in-law not far away, patted her daughter on the shoulder and whispered: "I am just looking forward to my daughter's well. Only you can be better. Your father and I will feel relieved. This is better than eating big meat every day."
Mangye's eyes heated up and he nodded heavily: "Mom, don't worry, we will all be fine."
Knowing that the family didn't have much money, Mu was very harsh on himself after coming to the county town. Every time he bought good things such as fish, he couldn't bear to eat them all for his son and two grandchildren.
Although I won’t be hungry, it will definitely not work if I continue for a long time. This time, the twenty taels of silver sent by Mulberry leaves were considered timely raining. It was enough for my mother to have a few delicious food and drinks to spend the past year, and Mu no longer has to treat herself harshly.
Having enough silver in his hand, Mu took out all the pork belly he bought in the morning, cut the lean meat into shredded meat to make soup, and cut the remaining fat and thin pieces into pieces and mix with rice noodles to make a fat but not greasy steamed pork.
When the uncle and nephew Sang Yu and his three backs came back, five dishes and one soup were prepared on the dining table at home, which looked much more abundant than usual and made people feel more enjoyable.
Several people were having lunch talking and laughing, and it took twice as much time to finish it in a moment. In this way, Uncle Sang Yu and Nephew were delayed and simply stayed in the main hall and continued to talk to Sang Ye about their own affairs in the academy.
Needless to say, Sang Yu passed the county examination with the fourth place and made the teacher in the academy pay great attention to it. He gave him some small training from time to time to give him some tips on his shortcomings, hoping that he could pass the palace examination five days later and the hospital examination in August in one fell swoop, which put Sang Yu very stressed.
Sang Ye saw this and comforted him: "If you can win the fourth place in the county exam, it means that your schoolwork is good and your foundation is solid. You just need to follow the guidance of Master and learn about the past and learn about the new things. Don't think about it and add pressure to yourself."
Sang Yu knew that his mentality was not good, which was very affecting his performance during the exam. However, as the mansion exam got closer, he could not keep his mind calm and it was difficult to fall asleep at night, and he himself was also very distressed.
Now seeing that my elder sister is still worried about me, a deep sense of guilt surges in my heart: "Sister, I am not good at it."
Sang Ye patted his younger brother in anger, pointed out to the door and said, "Instead of getting along with yourself, it's better to go outside and take a look and relax. If it really doesn't work, just go to the academy and ask your master for two days off, and follow me home to help me plant flowers. Maybe those distracting thoughts will be let go."
Sang Yu was a little moved, and after thinking for a while, he had an idea: "Then I will ask for two days off with my master. I will go back with you later."
Sang Ye naturally had no objection, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Go quickly, I'll pack up your things first and wait for you to come back.
Then let's go."
Sang Yu nodded, said to Mu, and rushed out of the house and went to the academy.
Looking at the back of his younger son, Mu smiled at his daughter: "You have a way. I know he is under great pressure and I don't know how to relieve him."
Sang Ye smiled: "Sang Yu is an adult and has his own idea. Even if I don't mention it this time, he will probably run home."
After a few more chats, Sang Ye asked Huan'er and Xiaoshan.
Huan'er has always been very quick to learn things. After entering the academy's enlightenment class, she was very popular with the Master and did not need to worry about her studies.
Xiaoshan is also a smart child. He used to be naughty and would twist with the master and be beaten by the master a lot. However, since he experienced something not long ago, he has grown up all of a sudden and has never been pulled by the master again.
The performance of the two little ones made Sang Ye very satisfied. She didn’t necessarily ask them to take the imperial examination path and be glorious in the future. She just hopes that they can understand the principles of dealing with people and have more choices about what kind of life they will live in the future.
