casket of old days

Chapter 22 What I hate the most is money

Seeing that Chu Qiguang didn't accept the money, Wang Chengwang wanted to persuade him again, but he saw Chu Qiguang looked at Steward Wang and said, "You go out first, I have something to discuss with your master in secret."

Wang Chengwang nodded towards the housekeeper, so the housekeeper retreated helplessly, leaving only the three of them present.

Wang Cailiang spoke first, "Father, my illness..."

At this moment, Wang Cailiang said that his illness was not completely cured, and he still needed to be treated by the dog on Tuesday.Just now he just made an appointment with the dog on Tuesday to make a show to calm people's hearts.

Wang Chengwang nodded after listening: "You are right."

So Wang Chengwang asked how to treat the disease next.

Chu Qiguang said: "In the future, I will come to the door to treat the prince's illness, but I am still busy with the food tax recently..."

Wang Chengwang understood what the other party meant, waved his hand, and immediately said: "I have already asked the housekeeper about the food tax. It is because the accountant made a mistake in the account. In fact, it is not your turn to pay Nephew Zhou Xian at all."

He said angrily: "I let Wang Zhong (Wang Steward) take care of this matter early on, why didn't he go? This guy must be cheating and playing tricks again, I'll let him go in a while Get it done."

Chu Qiguang said again: "I still have to take care of the farming at home..."

Wang Chengwang also understood in his heart now that the other party probably didn't accept the money just now, but felt that the money was not enough.

Wang Chengwang thought for a while and said: "I happen to want a variety of land. Why don't my nephew rent me the land at home, five mu of land... I don't care if there is a good year or a bad year, I will calculate it as five taels of silver per year. As long as I have One day, this land rent will never be broken."

Chu Qiguang wondered: "That's it?"

Wang Chengwang said: "Five taels of silver is far higher than the market price."

Chu Qiguang sighed: "You don't know something, Mr. Wang. It's not that I don't want to rent it to you. It's mainly because my sister likes farming."

Wang Chengwang was dumbfounded.

Chu Qiguang went on to say: "Because my family has been farming and studying for generations, requiring generations of descendants to go to the fields to farm, and it is the No. 18 generation that has been passed down to me. If it is broken by me, I have the right to see the ancestors. Liezong?"

"If I rent out the land now, I'm afraid my mother will say that I'm not filial."

Wang Chengwang almost couldn't help cursing when he heard this, but who told him to ask for help from others? The other party brought out the word "filial piety".

Seeing that Wang Chengwang stopped talking, Chu Qiguang immediately got angry and said, "Your Majesty Wang! Did you think I was begging for money from you?"

'do not you? 'Wang Chengwang blinked his eyes, thinking in his heart that he misunderstood the other party just now?The other party is really a chivalrous man who doesn't love gold and silver, and has a filial piety?That's great...

Chu Qiguang on the other side turned around and was about to leave: "I only want to save the prince, how can the prince use gold and silver to humiliate me?"

Wang Cailiang on the side was startled, but he pointed at the dog on Tuesday to treat him, and immediately rushed up to stop the dog on Tuesday who was about to leave.

Wang Cailiang: "Brother Zhou! My father is just a common man covered in copper stink. Don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Wang Chengwang followed suit and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm just a layman, if I don't mention money, I won't mention money anymore."

Wang Cailiang stretched out his hand to pull Chu Qiguang back, but found that with a light pull, the other party had already returned to his original position.

Chu Qiguang went on to say: "Master Wang, please don't talk to me about money anymore. I never saved people for money. What I hate most in my life is money."

Wang Chengwang nodded his head again and again, if he could not ask for money, of course he agreed with both hands.

Chu Qiguang went on to say: "I will still come to the mansion to treat the prince's illness in the future. However, the residual poison in his body has not been cleared, and he needs to refine some pills to cooperate."

Wang Chengwang: "What medicinal materials do you need? I will send someone to the county to buy them immediately."

Chu Qiguang shook his head: "The medicinal materials needed to treat the poison of dogs and ghosts are not available in ordinary pharmacies. Fortunately, I have prepared most of the medicinal materials such as fairy beans, blood bodhi, and seven-star crabapple. There is no melatonin in my hand now."

Wang Chengwang and his son listened to the list of drug names in a daze, but they had never heard of any of them, and finally asked: "What is this melatonin? How can I find it?"

Chu Qiguang: "This melatonin is formed from the stalactites in the auspicious acupoints of Fengshui after tens of thousands of years of gathering the essence of the underground spiritual liquid bit by bit. You should also know that such a rare treasure must be mastered In the hands of some big forces."

"I know everything about this kind of thing. If you don't understand, I won't explain too much. After all, it's no good to know too much. Don't ask me about the specific situation. There are too many interests involved, so just pretend you don't know. The rest I can only say that the water here is very deep, there are many things involved, most of the information has been blocked, and it is difficult for you to understand the details, so I can only say that I understand everything."

Hearing Chu Qiguang's words, Wang Chengwang and his son only felt that it was unpredictable, and they had various guesses about the identity of the other party's master in their hearts.

Chu Qiguang went on to say: "But you don't have to worry, because of my master's face, this thing can also be bought with money."

Wang Cailiang paused and breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked, "How much money do you want?"

Chu Qiguang said: "To cure the remaining poison on your body, you need about 300 taels of melatonin."

Wang Chengwang was taken aback: "You want so much money?"

You must know that their Wang family only earns thousands of taels of silver a year, and after excluding the various expenses of the master, wife, young master and lady, as well as the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the maids and servants, as well as various rewards, the management inside and outside the county, one by one. At the end of the year, there are only 100 or 200 taels left.

Chu Qiguang said: "It's already very cheap. If you don't have the face of the master, you can't buy it for more money. Although I don't need money for your medical treatment, you still have to pay for the medicine yourself."

Wang Cailiang: "It's natural."

Naturally, Wang Cailiang fully agreed, but his father Wang Chengwang did not speak when 300 taels of silver were involved.

Chu Qi just glanced at it and knew that the old landlord was distressed by the silver. The other party was a standard feudal landlord, and even the few taels of silver from Ergou’s family were searched and searched. 300 taels of silver would definitely make the other party feel very painful. .

So Chu Qiguang looked at Wang Cailiang and said: "The residual poison of the dog ghost is not clear, and it may deteriorate at any time. You should send the money to me as soon as possible. Don't delay the time, and miss the best treatment." The date, when the time comes, people will be useless."

"Father!" Wang Cailiang looked at his father and urged, "What are you still hesitating about? I am the only child in our family! You are the only son of me, and if I die, you will be the only child!"
