Medicine Maiden: Orion's Pampering

Chapter 31 Crazy thinking about money!
After breakfast, Yang Tianci got up and came out wearing a clean long gown. He was very energetic and was not affected by the hangover last night. He simply drank a bowl of rice porridge and said, "Sister-in-law, please Yes, the guests will come in a while, please take care of them."

After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply.

Shen Ruyu turned her body and replied, "Mother-in-law has already explained it, I will save it."

As soon as the time came, the guests came one after another.

Said it was a guest, Shen Ruyu felt that it would be more appropriate to call her a neighbor. After serving tea with Yang Tianyu, she stood aside and looked at the hall full of people, feeling a little depressed.

"Folks, please be quiet and come one by one," Yang Tianci pulled up a bench, stood on it, and raised his voice to appease the chattering distant relatives and neighbors.

The voice fell, and the hall was much quieter.

However, Shen Ruyu seemed to have heard some clues from their whispering, and her face turned pale in shock.

She quickly pulled Yang Tianyu to talk, "Tell your second brother to come to the backyard for a while, I have something to ask him."

"Hey, okay." After Yang Tianyu answered, Shen Ruyu went to the backyard. Soon, she heard footsteps, but when she turned around, she found that the person was not Yang Tianci but Wang Chunmei.

"Mother-in-law?"

"Yu Niang, why are you calling Tianci? Didn't you see that he is busy?" Wang Chunmei glanced at the main room, and laughed so hard that her mouth was about to crack her ears, "That's great, my son is going to make a lot of money."

Shen Ruyu followed Wang Chunmei's gaze and saw that Yang Tianci was receiving things from those neighbors, and other literate people were recording something beside him.

"Have you seen it? In the future, this family will not be born to earn money alone, and there will be a gift from God," Wang Chunmei smiled so that a few wrinkles appeared on her face, and even her teeth gleamed under the sun.

Shen Ruyu shook her head and went to the backyard. She wanted to remind Yang Tianci that money is not easy to earn, but Wang Chunmei jumped out again.

With so many people outside, she didn't bother arguing, and when Wang Chunmei cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, she couldn't speak clearly even with her mouth full.

Seeing that the vegetable seeds Yang Tiansheng sowed had grown seedlings, Shen Ruyu was delighted to see it, and suddenly missed Yang Tiansheng a little, wondering how he is doing now.

Did you catch your prey?If not, it's time to go home!
Shen Ruyu went over after the noise outside died down, and when she returned to her room, she heard Wang Chunmei counting things outside the window of the main room, "One tael, five dollars, two taels..."

"Mom, don't count, just pass a scale..."

Seeing Yang Yuanbao poking out from the room, Shen Ruyu didn't continue listening, and went back to the room to continue sewing Yang Tiansheng's clothes.

　 Another day later, Wang Chunmei called Shen Ruyu out of the house, "I bought some meat, you go to the kitchen and cook it and cut it into slices, and serve it to Master Lizheng and Tianci later."

　 What?Shen Ruyu paused, thinking that she had heard wrongly, did she entertain Lizheng with both wine and meat?

"Hurry up," Wang Chunmei urged impatiently, and then stuffed the meat into Shen Ruyu's hands.

Soon, Yang Tianci's high-spirited speeches could be heard from the kitchen.

Shen Ruyu went out with the white meat, put down the plate and wanted to leave, but Wang Chunmei grabbed her, didn't know if it was on purpose, and pulled a stool for her to sit down, "Yu Niang, don't rush away."

Seeing Wang Chunmei's eyes, Shen Ruyu felt her scalp tighten, and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, it seems inconvenient for me to be here, right?"

"It's convenient, it's very convenient," Wang Chunmei's face brightened when she thought that Tianci would have a lot of money in her pocket.

After drinking two glasses of wine with Lizheng, Yang Tianci got to the point and brought a sack to Wang Chunmei. After he opened the bag, a scent of wild chrysanthemums wafted out.

"Master Lizheng, I heard that you are collecting this?"

"Ah," Li Zheng glanced at it, picking the flesh between his teeth, "Why do you have so many wild chrysanthemums?"

"Doesn't it mean that you charge a high price for this, so...hehehe..."

Lizheng woke up from the wine in an instant, he glanced at Shen Ruyu, said nothing, took out the purse from the front, wiped a handful of copper plates and shook the weight, and then slapped it on the table, "Take it , the extra counts as today’s drink money.”

Shen Ruyu visually estimated that there was at most fifty Wen.

Presumably, Wang Chunmei also noticed it. She strode up and pushed aside the copper plate. When she didn't see the silver ingot she wanted, her voice suddenly became sharp, "Master Lizheng, why is it so small? We have ten silver ingots here. A catty of wild chrysanthemums is worth ten taels of silver, right?"

"Ten taels of silver?" Li Zheng's face suddenly fell down, "Rich family, have you lost your money? You ask me for a tael a catty of these flowers that can be seen everywhere?"

"But...but..." Wang Chunmei couldn't finish the sentence, she pulled Shen Ruyu up, "Yu Niang, you talk to Master Li Zheng."

Shen Ruyu knew that nothing good would happen to her, but fortunately she was prepared, "Grandma, what do you want me to say?"

"This wild chrysanthemum, didn't you sell it to Master Lizheng for five taels of silver?" Wang Chunmei was anxious, even her lips were trembling.

"How do you know about this?" Shen Ruyu pretended to be surprised, "I said, why did the wild chrysanthemums disappear after two days of hard work, and you guys picked them?"

"What are you talking about? We made money, so you'll get some money too," Wang Chunmei's voice was trembling.

Shen Ruyu sighed, and asked, "Did you guys see the thing that Master Lizheng gave me the money the day before yesterday?"

Yang Tianci and Wang Chunmei looked at each other, even if they didn't say anything, they could tell from their expressions.

"Mother-in-law, Godsend, there is really no shortcut to earning money. The five taels of silver given by Master Lizheng is for ordering the next herbal medicine. Are you a little hasty to do this without asking?"

After Shen Ruyu finished speaking, she found that Yang Tianci was avoiding her eyes, she was even more sure that this time the matter was not small.

The reason why she didn't talk about the prescription was because she was worried that Wang Chunmei would use her mind on herself, so Shen Ruyu lied casually.

"I don't want these wild chrysanthemums for the time being, and I will come to you to collect them later when I want them," Li Zheng saw that something was serious, finished his cup of wine, and left leisurely with his hands behind his back.

　 At this time, Wang Chunmei couldn't laugh anymore. The injury on her head hadn't healed yet, but now she thought of "stealing chickens can't lose money", her legs softened, and she almost couldn't stand up.

"Mother," Yang Tianyu gave him a hand and led him into the main house.

"It's over, it's over now," Yang Tianci waved his hand, threw all the dishes on the table to the ground, and sat down on the ground with ashen face.
