The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 141 The Old Doctor's Arrangements
In the letter, the old doctor first wrote what they saw and heard on the way back to Beijing, and then wrote some trivial things after arriving in Beijing. Although they were all trivial things, Su Yunduo laughed several times because of the vivid and humorous writing by the old doctor speak out.

Naturally, these contents only told Su Yunduo that they had returned to the capital safely, and that Lu Jinkang had recovered and started to be active again. The last content was the focus of this letter.

That was the old doctor's arrangement for him in his later years, which really surprised Su Yunduo.

The old doctor actually told Su Yunduo that he had resigned from his medical post to Lord Zhen Guo, and that he would bring his wife and several apprentices and grandchildren to Geshan Village to settle down in the next year. Clean up a few rooms for them in the yard of the Su family so that they have a place to settle when they come.

As for the 500 taels of silver, it is for Su Yunduo to quickly buy the back mountain and the col, and it is best to also buy the valley that goes from the col to the dense forest.

Buy the valley?

Su Yunduo naturally knew that valley, it was much bigger than Su Yunduo's mountain depression, but it wasn't too big, and the scenery inside was not bad.

The old doctor didn't explain why he wanted to buy the valley in the letter, but Su Yunduo suddenly remembered that when the old doctor went to see the valley with her, he had wandered around in that valley and sighed, as if he liked it very much. that valley.

At the beginning, Su Yunduo only thought that it was because the old doctor had lived in the Valley of Miraculous Doctors for a period of time and had an inexplicable liking for such a valley, but he didn't take it seriously and didn't think much about it.

After all, the old doctor is the doctor of the Duke of the Capital, and it is said that the Duke of Zhen relies on him very much. His eldest son has already become an imperial physician in the palace, and his second son's medical skills are also good. In the capital, the old doctor will definitely live in the capital for the rest of his life.

Unexpectedly, when the old doctor returned to the capital, he began to prepare to live in Geshan Village for the elderly, and he resigned his job in a hurry, clearly stating that he would bring his wife and disciples and grandchildren to settle in Geshan Village in the next year.

But think about it, maybe it is because the sons have married and established businesses one after another, the old doctor will choose to retire bravely, find a place he likes and take his wife to grow medicinal materials leisurely to support the elderly, so he fell in love with the simple folk customs of Geshan Village , took a fancy to that beautiful small valley.

Only what does the old doctor like in that valley?
With his chin propped up through the kitchen curtain, he silently stared in the direction of the valley for a while, but Su Yunduo still couldn't imagine what was in that valley that made the old doctor want to buy it for retirement.

Alas, how inconvenient it is to buy a valley to live in for the elderly!
It's not as good as her small mountain depression, which is convenient to go down the mountain and has a hot spring. What's there in that valley?

Thinking back to that valley again, it seems that there are some merits. At least the trees there are more lush and green than other places, and the grass is much thicker. Could it be that there are hot springs in that valley?
But apart from the hot spring water in the mountain depression flowing to the valley, she really didn't find any other hot springs at the time. Maybe she just went to the valley for a walk that day and didn't look carefully to miss the real secret of the valley.

Or, go to that valley to explore?
Looking at the white snow outside, Su Yunduo temporarily suppressed this thought.

There is no rush for this matter. With her small body and this weather, it is difficult to collect vegetables in the mountains, let alone go to deeper valleys. Even if her parents do not object, she would not dare to take the risk.

When they got up in the morning and saw that it was snowing again, Su Chengzhi and Ning strictly ordered Su Yunduo not to go to the col again. Fortunately, they brought back some extra vegetables yesterday, otherwise they could only eat the radish and cabbage stored in the cellar for the next few days.

Well, let’s wait until my uncle comes in the second year of junior high school. With my uncle accompanying me, I will go to the valley to find out what’s going on under the pretext of going to the col to collect vegetables. That’s the decision!
The old doctor wanted to bring his wife and disciples to live in Geshan Village, so Su Chengzhi had to be informed about this matter.

But Su Yunduo was not in a hurry, put away the letter and bank notes together, lifted the gauze-covered face and pressed it with his hands, and nodded in satisfaction, this face woke up just in time.

He quickly lit a fire and boiled half a pot of water, took the washed shepherd's purse and poured it into the Nao water, took a piece of fat and thin fresh meat, washed it, cut it into small cubes, and then chopped the meat into minced meat.

At this time, the shepherd's purse that has been soaked in water has been controlled to dry up. It is chopped and mixed with minced meat, and seasoned with appropriate seasoning. A pot of dumpling stuffing is freshly baked.

Hearing the sound of chopping meat coming from the kitchen, Su Zexuan put down the book in his hand and got up to help in the kitchen. He knew that he would make dumplings today.

With Su Zexuan's help, Su Yunduo only needs to concentrate on preparing the dumpling fillings. When she came to the main house with the prepared dumpling fillings, Su Chengzhi had already rushed out several dumpling wrappers. Now he is teaching Su Zexuan how to get out of the dumpling wrappers. Thin dumpling wrappers, and Su Zechen, who was already a little confused, clamored to learn from Su Chengzhi to catch the wrappers, while Ning half leaned on the kang and watched with a smile.

Su Zechen was actually a bit younger, and Su Chengzhi obviously didn't want to teach him, presumably because he was afraid of wasting money, so Su Zechen's mouth was so anxious, seeing that tears were already welling up, Su Yunduo quickly pulled him to his side, and took a piece of dough Said: "Sister Lai will teach you how to make dumplings."

Except for the little Maotou Su Zerui who didn't know who was sleeping, the whole family chatted and laughed and quickly made two bamboo strip dumplings, and they just waited for the time to cook them.

When Su Yunduo brought the wrapped dumplings into the kitchen, Su Zechen had fallen asleep beside Ning Shi, and Su Zexuan also yawned, obviously a little sleepy.

"Brother, why don't you go on the kang for a while, and later my sister will call you to get up and set off firecrackers to eat dumplings." Looking at Su Zexuan, who was swearing to keep vigil with everyone, Su Yunduo felt a little distressed, and touched Touched his head to persuade.

Su Zexuan shook his head. This was the first year that his family of six kept watch together. As the eldest son, Su Zexuan felt that he had an obligation to accompany his parents to watch the night.

In this case, Su Yunduo no longer tried to persuade him, but fortunately it's not too late now, let's talk about it when he really can't stand it anymore.

After looking at Ning Shi, she felt that she was quite energetic at the moment, so Su Yunduo quickly took out the old doctor's letter and told Su Chengzhi and Ning Shi the contents of the old doctor's letter.

Hearing that the old doctor resigned from his post in the Zhen Guo Mansion and wanted to settle down in Geshan Village, Su Chengzhi and Ning Shi were extremely surprised and asked in unison: "It's true that the old genius doctor resigned from his post in the Zhen Guo Mansion and wants to come to our place to grow Medicinal ingredients?"

Su Yunduo didn't say much, and directly handed the letter in his hand to Su Chengzhi, and let the couple read the letter by themselves.

Su Chengzhi and his wife both recognized the old doctor's handwriting. The letter was undoubtedly written by the old doctor himself. The last few lines clearly stated that the old doctor will bring his wife's disciples and grandchildren to settle in Geshan Village after the next year. .
