The peasant widow is famous all over the world

The tiger was carried back yesterday and put into a cool cellar. Today when they went out, they placed six basins of well water on the bullock cart. They put a fence on the basin and put the tiger on the fence to dry. The cool air reached the tiger, and they You don’t have to worry about it breaking when you go to the county town.

Tang Mian and Lu Zhihai sat on one side, holding on to the edge of the fence so that the tiger would not be thrown off.

"Brothers and sisters, I have sold tigers before, just take them to my old employer. As for how to get the medicinal materials, do you have any ideas?" Lu Zhian asked while driving the bullock cart.

Tang Mian thought for a while and said: "There are three big drug stores in the county, among which Jirentang has the best reputation. Let's go to Jirentang first. If the price is not suitable, we will go to another one."

"Okay, let's do it like this." Lu Zhian responded.

Lu Zhihai did not object.

Tang Mian reached out and touched the medicinal materials placed aside, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Tang Mian said, "Cousin, do you know where the county magistrate and his family live?"

Lu Zhian was slightly startled, "How come my brothers and sisters remembered to ask the county magistrate where he lives?"

Tang Mian lowered his eyes and said softly: "I met the county magistrate's wife when I went to Yuqing Temple to light the eternal lantern for Ah Xun. At that time, the county magistrate's wife found out that she was pregnant, but her health was not very good. Now that I have picked ginseng, I think Send her one."

"Don't worry, cousins, I will give you whatever price the medicine store offers for this ginseng plant."

Seven days had passed since she and Sister Zhuang separated, and there was still no news, so she felt a little panicked.

I just happened to come to my door today to borrow ginseng, so I have an idea of ​​whether I can get it right.

Lu Zhi'an pretended to be displeased and said: "This is a good opportunity to make friends with the county magistrate's wife. You cannot take it by yourself. The ginseng will be given as a gift from the three of us."

Lu Zhihai also nodded, "That's right. Brothers and sisters, you have to let us take advantage of such a good thing!"

Both of them were a little surprised. They didn't expect their younger siblings to know the county magistrate's wife.

Tang Mian frowned slightly, "Ginseng is no more expensive than other medicinal materials. I can't let you pay this money because of my decision. Besides, I'm just giving it a try, so I may not succeed."

"If it doesn't succeed, we'll just sell the ginseng. If it succeeds, won't we also have our name with the county magistrate's wife!" Lu Zhian immediately added.

Tang Mian: "Cousin, this matter"

"Okay, they say an eldest brother is like a father. Since I am the eldest brother, I have the final say. That's how it's settled."

Tang Mian was speechless.

Lu Zhihai lowered his head and smiled.

"But, brothers and sisters, can the county magistrate's wife see us?" Lu Zhian asked with a frown.

Tang Mian paused and said in silence for a moment: "I'm not sure, but I have to try."

Lu Zhian thought about it. If they want to curry favor with others, they must take the initiative. "Okay, after we take the tiger and sell it, we will go visit the county magistrate's wife."

"I have been to the county seat so many times, but I have never heard of the county magistrate buying a mansion outside. They should all live in the county government office."

Tang Mian nodded, "Then we'll go to the county government office later."

"okay!"

"Brothers and sisters, sit still, I'll hurry up."

An hour later, Tang Mian and the others arrived outside the county town.

At four o'clock in the morning, many people were already coming in and out of the city gate.

Tang Mian and the others walked to the city gate, showed the officials the road guide, and then drove the ox cart into the city.

They had already eaten steamed buns on the way, and now they drove the ox cart directly to Baiweilou.

Baiweilou is the largest restaurant in the county, with a total of three floors.

Lu Zhian used to bring large prey here to sell, and it was the same with the tiger this time.

On the other side, there is the county government office.

"Madam, did you sleep well last night?" Aunt Liu said as she helped Zhuang Jing get up.

Zhuang Jing breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "In the past few years, I slept the most soundly last night."

Aunt Liu looked happy, "When the matter is settled, Madam's heart is relieved, and she will naturally sleep peacefully."

Zhuang Jing was in a good mood at this time, but thinking about those things and those people, she was still a little sad and angry, "I didn't expect that the momentary kindness at the time would increase their appetite and courage, even for me and the child in my belly." Dare to harm anyone."

"Madam, don't be angry. Everything has passed. Now it's time to take good care of the baby." Aunt Liu quickly advised.

Zhuang Jing nodded, "I understand."

"By the way, Nanny Liu, now that things in the house have been settled, you and Feixing will go to Qingyuan Village after breakfast. I promised my sister to support her. After so many days, she must be waiting in a hurry. ”

"When I feel better in two days and the doctor says I can go out by carriage, I will go there myself."

Aunt Liu immediately responded, "Yes."

"How are you going to thank Madam Lu?"

Zhuang Jing thought for a while and said: "Since I want to support my sister, I have to let those people know about my relationship with my sister. You prepare a small gift, and Feixing will go to calm my sister's heart first. When I can go out, Then come to your door with a big gift."

Aunt Liu suggested: "Madam, since you want everyone in Qingyuan Village to know, why not set up a banquet and treat the whole village to a meal on the day Madam comes to visit. Let's say that Madam and Madam Lu are sworn brothers. A treat for the banquet.”

"Madam can be intimate and friendly with Mrs. Lu that day, so that everyone who comes to eat can see it. In this way, those people will naturally be worried about it."

Zhuang Jing nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say. After you go, let me know everything about this."

Aunt Liu smiled and helped Zhuang Jing out of bed, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it."

Zhuang Jing stood up and Nanny Liu changed her clothes.

"I need to start preparing the gifts I need when I come to your door in two days." Zhuang Jing said.

"You must have some money, so just prepare 200 taels."

"There is no shortage of fabrics. I heard from the girl that her father-in-law and mother-in-law are the only ones in her family now. You should prepare two pieces of cloth for each person. In addition, the girl said that she will adopt children in the future, so prepare two pieces of fabric for boys and girls. She If you need it, use it; if you don’t need it, give it away as a favor.”

"By the way, you need to prepare two pieces of fabric. My siblings' parents cannot have nothing."

"Also, summer is almost over, so prepare some cotton for winter clothes. You can prepare some jewelry suitable for your younger siblings."

"Bring some more supplements. There are two ginseng plants in the warehouse. Take out the 50-year-old one."

"Madam, forget about the ginseng, let's replace it with something else." Grandma Liu quickly advised.

"Madam, ginseng is not like other supplements. It doesn't just exist. There are only two plants in the warehouse. You are pregnant with a child now, so you have to prepare it!"

Zhuang Jing frowned, "I took a 50-year-old plant, but there is still a 90-year-old plant left! If we really need it, we can just buy another one. There are three big drugstores in the city, and we can't even have one ginseng plant." No need to sell."

"Madam, you gave me ginseng, but they may not be willing to eat it! It's more practical for them to add some money." Grandma Liu continued to persuade.

Zhuang Jing thought about it and thought it was right, "Then I won't give you the ginseng. I'll give you 100 taels of silver instead."

"Eh!" Grandma Liu responded with a smile.

Zhuang Jing continued: "All kinds of snacks and candies must be prepared. When the time comes, ask the girl to do favors and give two pieces to everyone in the village to try. You can add a little more to the rest as you see."

Aunt Liu nodded, "Okay. Madam, don't worry, I will definitely prepare everything."

"Ah."

Aunt Liu dressed Zhuang Jing and helped her walk outside, "Madam, I'll have breakfast brought in."

"Go!"

Tang Mian didn't even know what Zhuang Jing had arranged.

At this time, she had already got on the bullock cart again, and the three of them rushed to the county government office.

Seeing the county government office approaching, Tang Mian became nervous as he touched the wooden box he had just bought to contain ginseng.

The bullock cart stopped at the gate of the county government office. Tang Mian took a deep breath, picked up a box containing a 70-year-old ginseng and jumped out of the cart.

Lu Zhihai took the other medicinal materials and followed closely.Lu Zhian parked the bullock cart aside and walked to the two of them.

Tang Mian looked at the gate of the county government office, breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward.

"Mrs. Lu."

Tang Mian heard the sound and looked over. It was the female guard beside Sister Zhuang.

"Flying star."

Feixing walked quickly to Tang Mian, "Why is Mrs. Lu here?"

"I had something to do in the county today, so I came over to see Sister Zhuang." Tang Mian said with a chuckle.

At this time, Nanny Liu also stepped forward, looked at Feixing and asked, "Feixing, who is this lady?"

Feixing came to his senses and immediately introduced the two of them: "Mama Liu, she is Mrs. Lu."

"Mrs. Lu, she is Nanny Liu next to my wife."

Tang Mian smiled and nodded: "Hello, Grandma Liu."

Aunt Liu looked at Tang Mian happily and immediately saluted, "It turns out to be Mrs. Lu, I'm so rude. My wife was still talking about it this morning. Feixing and I are going to Qingyuan Village to find you." I never thought that Mrs. Lu would be here today, what a coincidence."

"Stop standing here, Mrs. Lu, follow me in."

Tang Mian nodded, "Okay."

"Mama Liu, these two are my cousins, they came with me." Tang Mian said looking at Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai who were two steps behind her.

Aunt Liu looked at the two of them and said with a smile on her face: "Since these two brothers are Madam Lu's cousins, they are naturally also my Madam's distinguished guests. Please come in quickly."

Lu Zhian and Lu Zhihai nodded blankly.

Their heads are a little dizzy, this
Walked in so easily?

Who is the sister Zhuang that the siblings just called?It can't be the county magistrate's wife, right?
When Mammy Liu and Feixing took Tang Mian and the others into the county government office, Zhuang Jing was half-lying on a chair under the big tree in the yard with her eyes closed and meditating.

"lady."

Zhuang Jing opened her eyes when she heard Nanny Liu's voice, "Nanny Liu, why haven't you set off yet?"

Aunt Liu stepped forward with a smile and said, "Back to Madam, Madam Lu is here."

"What?" Zhuang Jing straightened up in surprise.

Seeing Zhuang Jing's actions, Grandma Liu quickly stepped forward to support her, "Ouch! Madam, slow down, slow down."

"I'm fine, my sister is here!"

"Sister Zhuang."

Tang Mian stepped forward from behind and shouted.

Zhuang Jing stood up with Nanny Liu's hand and looked at Tang Mian happily, "Sure enough, my sister is here."

"Come and sit down."

Tang Mian said "Hello" and took two steps forward to sit next to Zhuang Jing.

Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked at each other blankly. The younger brother and sister are making a difference!

"Why did my sister come to the county town today?" Zhuang Jing asked, holding Tang Mian's hand affectionately.

Tang Mian smiled and handed the ginseng box in his other hand to Zhuang Jing, "Yesterday, my two cousins ​​and I dug ginseng in the mountains. We happened to go to the city today. I was thinking that Sister Zhuang was pregnant just now and she has not been feeling well lately. Okay, I’ll give this 70-year-old to Sister Zhuang.”

Zhuang Jing looked at the box in front of her and was slightly startled. After a moment, she rejected it directly, "This is impossible."

"It's my sister's wish. I've received it. Since you and your two cousins ​​dug up the ginseng, you should naturally exchange it for money. Don't worry, sister, there's no shortage of ginseng here."

Grandma Liu and Feixing were also stunned. They didn't expect that Tang Mian would actually give away ginseng, which was from the 70s.

Aunt Liu was a little moved and wanted to accept it.

But I also understand that in the end, my wife has to make the final decision.

Tang Mian shook his head, "Sister Zhuang is not short of ginseng, it belongs to Sister Zhuang. This ginseng is a little bit of my sister's heart. Just treat it as a meeting gift for my unborn nephew and niece. Sister Zhuang must accept it."

Seeing this, Aunt Liu quickly stepped forward to persuade her: "Madam, since it is a gift from Madam Lu to my young master, just accept it. If Madam feels sorry for you, just return the gift later. Between sisters, The more courtesy you reciprocate, the more cordial you will be."

"This" Zhuang Jing looked at the two of them and finally nodded, "Okay, I will accept this ginseng for the child. When the child grows up, I will tell him that his first gift is from his aunt."

"Since my sister is here, lunch must be served here so that she can fulfill her role as a landlord."

This time, Tang Mian didn't object, "Then I'll trouble my sister."

"There's no need to be so polite to my sister."

Aunt Liu happily responded, "Old slave, I'll make arrangements now."

"Go!" Zhuang Jing waved her hand and said.

Aunt Liu bowed and left, and Zhuang Jing looked at Tang Mian with an apologetic look, "When I came back that day, I originally planned to go find you in two days. I never thought that I would delay until now. I really feel sorry for my sister. "

"Sister Zhuang really embarrassed me." Tang Mian didn't dare to take it seriously.

Zhuang Jing smiled and looked at the two people standing at the door, "Those two are the cousins ​​who followed my sister into the mountains to collect ginseng!"

Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai looked very reserved when they saw Zhuang Jing looking at them.

Tang Mian glanced at Lu Zhian and the two, "Those two are my first cousin Lu Zhian and my third cousin Lu Zhihai."

"It was my first cousin and my second cousin who went into the mountains to pick ginseng. We encountered a tiger in the mountains yesterday. My second cousin was scratched by the tiger and is now recovering at home."

"What, Tiger!" Zhuang Jing was startled, "That's too dangerous."

Tang Mian nodded, "It is indeed a bit dangerous."

Thinking of yesterday's scene, Tang Mian still felt frightened.

"However, the first cousin knows how to hunt and has hunted tigers before, so he has some experience. The second cousin knows some boxing and kicking skills, and the two of them worked together and came out safe and sound."

Zhuang Jing was a little surprised, "I see. It seems that your first cousin and second cousin are both capable people."

Then he looked at Feixing and said, "Take your two cousins ​​to the front to find the adults, so that they don't get bored here."

Tang Mian immediately said: "Sister Zhuang, the two cousins ​​still have some things to deal with, so don't bother Feixing. I'll go tell them."

Zhuang Jing glanced at the baggage on Lu Zhihai's body and made a guess in her mind, "Okay. Tell your two cousins ​​and come over for lunch after the matter is settled."

Tang Mian said "Hello", got up and walked to the door.

"First cousin, third cousin."

Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai hesitated to speak, and Tang Mian knew they had doubts in their hearts.

"First cousin, third cousin, I'll explain this to you when I get back. You'd better go to the drugstore first, and come back when you're done. We'll have lunch here."

Lu Zhian and Lu Zhiqiang's eyes widened, "This"

Tang Mian smiled and said, "Two cousins, go quickly!"

"Oh, okay." The two of them walked out of the county government office in confusion, and then went straight to Jirentang.

"Brother Hu, Brother Hu, look, Lu Zhian, Tang Mian's cousin." On a street in the county town, a man who looked like a second-rate man pointed at Lu Zhian and said.

Among the two or three nearby villages, Lu Zhian is the only one who can hunt tigers, and many people know him.

When Li Hu heard Tang Mian's name, he immediately spat, "Bah! That little bitch, when I get better, I will make sure she looks good."
