The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 278 Financial Independence (3)
Hao Dan hurriedly shouted to the yard: "Sister, someone is looking for you!"

When Leng Ping came out of the house, she was overjoyed when she saw Coptis chinensis.

She didn't go to the Chinese medicine store these few days, she just wanted to wait for Huanglian to come, and now she finally waited!

When Huang Lian saw Leng Ping, she saluted respectfully.

He carried a medicine basket on his body, and the medicine basket was full of packets of seeds.It seems that in the past few days, Huang Lian is going back to prepare!

"Come in!" Seeing that he was still barefoot in the cold, Leng Ping hurriedly let him in.

Huang Lian was about the same age as Hao Ren, but she was about the same size as Hao Dan, so Leng Ping went into the room, found a pair of shoes that Hao Dan thought were too big, and hadn't started wearing them yet, and put Huang Lian on them first.

"No..." Huang Lian was startled, and shrank her feet back, "Dirty feet!"

"It's okay, just wash up!" Leng Ping went to bring him warm water.

Huang Lian's big eyes showed fear, as if he was frightened, he backed away bit by bit.

"Don't be afraid, wash your feet and put on those shoes, or you'll freeze!" Now that the frost has passed, the days have been gloomy, and I'm afraid it will snow soon!
Huang Lian still shook his head.

Leng Ping couldn't do it, so she didn't force him. She just stuffed the shoes in his hands, and opened the cloth bags in the basket one by one, watching the quality of the seeds.

The color is good, Leng Ping nodded in satisfaction, and thought of Huang Lian walking so far barefoot in such a cold day, even though he didn't have much money, Leng Ping still gave him a tael of silver!
With the money in his pocket, Huang Lian finally had a light in his trembling eyes.

"Who else is in your family?" Leng Ping asked by the way.

Huang Lian shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's just me!"

Leng Ping asked again: "Then are you willing to help me grow medicinal materials?"

She promised to go to the Huayao shop to help make medicines, but after October, the best time for planting these seeds has passed!

"Growing medicine?" Huang Lian was taken aback. He never knew that medicinal materials could be planted. They were all over the mountains and plains. Do you still need to plant them?
"Come and have a look!" Leng Ping got up, took Huang Lian out, went to the base of the wall, untied the scorpion shed, and let Huang Lian look inside.

"So many scorpions?" Huang Lian was startled, raised her eyes and asked, "You also raise scorpions?"

Leng Ping nodded, "The purpose of raising scorpions is the same as planting medicine, which is to harvest in large quantities and ensure supply! I see that you know medicine very well, why don't you just work in my house and earn a tael of silver and two clothes a year. How about eating and drinking?"

Huang Lian blinked and said in a low voice, "I only know how to collect herbs, but not how to plant them!"

"At least you know medicine!" At least Huang Lian was better than Yuan Kui who didn't know anything about these things.

Huang Lian hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I have to go back and think about it!"

"Okay, but hurry up, I have to go out in a few days, and I need someone who knows medicine to take care of me!" Leng Ping said.

Huang Lian also nodded.

When Huang Lian left, she still looked at Xie Peng reluctantly, her lips were tightly pursed, as if she was thinking about something.

Time was running out, so Leng Ping took the seeds of Bupleurum, Angelica, and Astragalus, and started raising seedlings. Fortunately, Yuan Kui and Cao Dabi had already set up a tarpaulin shed a few days ago.

Seeing Leng Ping busy, Hao Shi felt more and more unhappy. After thinking for a long time, she made up her mind, called Hao Ren into the room at night, and told about Leng Ping's plan.

Hao Ren didn't seem surprised at all, but just slightly raised his eyebrows.

"Don't blame Pinger, you know that since you won the Juren, there have been so many gossips outside, saying that Pinger is not good enough for you, and it is inevitable that Pinger will feel uncomfortable! Besides, Pinger earned the money She is willing to buy back her natal family's house and land, so she should, anyway, she can't give it to others in the future, it belongs to our family!" Now, Hao Shi is afraid that Hao Ren will think wildly, so she wants to persuade Hao Ren.

"Mother, I don't plan to spend her money. From now on, she can keep her own money by herself. Now my calligraphy and paintings can be sold for money. After a while, I will be elected as an official and I will have a salary, which is enough for our family." Already!" Hao Ren said in a low voice.

Hao Shi was taken aback for a moment, and said joyfully, "Are you willing to choose an official? Are you not taking the exam?"

Hao Ren nodded.

Hao immediately clasped his palms together and recited Amitabha.

Hao Ren smiled, but his eyes darkened.

It was late at night, Hao Ren got up and walked towards the small forest in the back mountain.

In the grove, Zhan Yi was dressed in black and sat quietly under the tree, waiting for Hao Ren to come.

Hao Ren walked up to Zhan Yi and sat down.

"You are very angry tonight, but what happened?" Zhan Yi slowly opened his eyes and asked in a low voice.

Hao Ren whispered: "I promised my mother not to take the imperial examination!"

Zhan Yi froze.

Hao Ren turned his eyes to Zhan Yi, "Master must be very disappointed, right?"

Zhan Yi's eyes darkened, but he didn't speak.

"Master once said that when I win Juren, Master will tell me a secret. Is it time now?" Hao Ren asked quietly.

Compared with Hao Ren, Zhan Yi became irritable.

"Is it related to my background?" Hao Ren asked in a low voice.

Zhan Yi's face changed again, but he didn't deny it.

Hao Ren looked at the sky, it was almost November, and it was very cold at night.

"Master, stop guarding the mountain, it's cold!" Hao Ren whispered.

Zhan Yi was taken aback, and looked at Hao Ren.

"I thought about it early in the morning. When I was a child, I didn't necessarily meet Master by chance!" Hao Ren said again.

Zhan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Young master is really smart!"

Hao Ren was taken aback, "What did you call me?"

"Since the young master has guessed [-]% of the time, it's about time!" Zhan Yi said in a low voice, "Young master is very human, and he also has blood and deep hatred on him. Zhan Yi has protected you for thirteen years, not for anything else, just because you can become a human being." The superior will avenge his master's blood and blood!"

"Who is the master you are talking about?" Actually, before coming here, Hao Ren was not sure, but he did not expect Zhan Yi to admit it so readily!
"Regarding this point, it's not yet time. You just need to know that you have to take the imperial examination. Only in this way can you become a superior person!" Zhan Yi said in a deep voice.

"I won't go if you don't tell me!" Hao Ren said in a deep voice.

Zhan Yi hooked his lips, "Young Master will finally figure it out, because Young Master is not willing to bury his talent just like this!"

Hao Ren was taken aback. He remembered the last time Yun Shen suppressed his name and refused to allow him to take the imperial examination. It was Zhan Yi who persuaded him to help the yamen solve the case and be appreciated by the inspector Li Yanzhen. Perhaps since then, he Just fell into Zhanyi's layout?

Ever since he was a child, Hao has always taught him not to stand out in the crowd, and not to be too conspicuous in the crowd, but that time when he stood in the courtroom, all the people stared at him, and the grateful eyes of the wronged person, Let him experience an unprecedented satisfaction!
