Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 53
Li Laoshi responded with an oh, and raised his head with an unnatural smile on his face.

He saw that Li Laoshi was strange, and waited for Wangfeng and Wangyang to leave with 73 cans of freckle cream on their backs, so he called him into the bedroom to ask the reason.

Li Laoshi stared at He's words and said: "You call mother in, and I will close the doors and windows before we talk."

He didn't see what Li Laoshi was going to do, so he invited Qu, who was beating the dusty bedding with a feather duster in the yard, into the bedroom.

Li Laoshi quickly closed the doors and windows, took off his black and half-worn cotton robe, took out a thick envelope from his close-fitting underwear, and said in a very low voice: "Ms. I gave me all the money to sell the ointment, a total of 1000 taels."

When he spoke the last sentence, his voice trembled slightly.

Qu Shi was stunned for a moment, and murmured as if waking up from a big dream: "Why so much money? Miss Jing handed over dozens of cans of medicine to the director of medicine. Even if ten cans are ten taels of silver, it is only a few hundred taels."

The shock in He Shi's eyes was only fleeting. Compared to the family of hundreds of years in the capital, 1000 taels is nothing more than a drop in the bucket. A piece of jewelry handed down from generation to generation can be worth so much money, let alone priceless antiques, Calligraphy and painting.

Li Laoshi put the envelope containing the banknotes in Qu's hand, and said in a low voice: "I heard so much money at the time, and I also asked the same question. It is measured in bottles and small boxes, and if it is a particularly expensive medicine, the pharmacy will only sell a little bit of the small bottle at a time."

Qu opened the envelope happily, and recognized that there were twenty pieces with a denomination of 50 taels, and ten pieces with a denomination of more, but he didn't know the words on them, so he asked He, "The bank notes your father gave me don't have such denominations. Do you see how much money it is?"

He Shi said softly: "Mother, you should first think about the large amount, and think about the high value."

Qu Shi excitedly said, "500 taels?"

He Shi said: "Let me tell you, one of these is worth a thousand taels of silver, and ten is worth ten thousand taels of silver."

"It's a huge fortune. Your father has been sending money home every year for more than twenty years, and the sum is not even half of this fortune." Qu Shi laughed happily, caressing Qian Qiang's hand carefully. Staring at the word "thousand" on the two-faced bank note, write it down.

Li Laoshi couldn't help holding He Shi's right hand tightly, and said with a proud smile: "Our sister Jing is really amazing."

He Shi said slowly: "Mother, don't reveal the money, you keep the money well and let others know, even relatives can't reveal the slightest word."

When the money reaches a certain amount, people's greed will expand and they will do terrible things.

Qu Shi nodded and said, "You're right. I can't even tell your uncle."

He Shi said softly: "Let's go out first, Mother will keep the bank notes."

But Qu grabbed He's arm and said, "Sister Jing made this fortune, and if I put it here, it will belong to a big family. You take it and keep it for Miss Jing, and it will be her dowry in the future."

Li Laoshi suddenly touched his head, and said embarrassedly: "I forgot, when the Taoist priest gave me the money, he specifically said to give it to Jingmei. If he doesn't give it, he won't let me bring the bank note next time. Give it directly to Sister Jing."

After Qu Shi and He Shi looked at each other, they nodded tacitly and asked Li Laoshi to call Li Jingjing in.

If it were Li Yunxiao, the two women would never dare to reveal a word to him, for fear that he would yell out and bring big thieves to the family.

"It's been several months, and I've forgotten about it." Li Jingjing pretended not to care, and smiled, holding an envelope and sitting on the bench in front of the willow dressing table, counting the silver bills, and then in front of the three adults. Under his gaze, he divided the ten thousand taels of silver notes into two and gave them to Qu Shi and He Shi.

Of the 1000 taels of silver bills, she only left behind 50 silver bills with a face value of [-] taels.

Holding the five large-amount bank notes in his hand, He Shi asked with a smile, "Sister Jing, are these for me and your parents?"

Li Jingjing nodded and said: "That's right. You can buy whatever you want when you take it to Tanzhou City Mansion. You can go here today."

Qushi suddenly excitedly said: "Tomorrow, Qubing's school will be closed, and it won't start until February. Long time, how many days can you and Qing Yazi take this time off?"

Li honestly said: "The director of the medicine department told our manager that I will take five days off this time, and the next time I will take a break, it will be New Year's Eve. The director of the medicine department said hello to the audience. After the Lantern Festival, Qing Yazi will be in the pharmacy. In the tent, before the Shangyuan Festival, Qing Yazi rested at home and helped Jing Meizi manage the herb garden and the medicine animal pen."

Li Jingjing said happily: "Brother has been promoted to the accountant of the Pharmacy Bureau!"

Li Yunqing was only 12 years old after the new year, and he worked as a pharmacy accountant at a young age, which is definitely an exception in Taiqingguan.

Qu's and He's were full of joy and smiles.

The Qu family decided on the spot to wait for Li Qubing to come back from school, and the whole family would go to Liuyang County, stay at the inn in the county for one night, and take a boat from the county to Tanzhou Prefecture to buy new year's goods tomorrow morning.

He Shi asked: "Mother, I brought a silver note worth a thousand taels, and I went to the bank in Tanzhou to exchange the bank note, can I use it?"

Qu Shi said: "If you want to bring it, I will take it. You keep the bank note and buy more dowry for Miss Jing in the future."

She happily went to Qu's house, and told Qu Kuaishou and his wife that Li Yunqing was promoted to the accountant of the pharmacy, and the monthly money mentioned was two taels of silver, which was higher than Li Laoshi's monthly money.The whole family had to go to Qingyun Temple in Tanzhou Prefecture to worship and burn incense, and they didn't come back until four days later.

Mrs. Deng felt a little moved when she heard it. It had been several years since she went to Tanzhou Mansion, but if she went, only Qu Kuaishou and Mrs. Lin would be left at home. Invite vicious gossip from villains.

The two teachers in the school are going back to their hometown for the New Year, and they will take a big vacation just after the twelfth lunar month.The last class this afternoon was not delayed, and school was dismissed early.

After Li Qubing came back, he learned that the whole family was going to Tanzhou, and they would stay in Liuyang County for one night and Tanzhou for two nights. He and Li Yunqing were happy to throw the excited and silly Li Yunxiao back and forth into the air.

Li Jingjing ran to Qu Yi's house, said hello to Qu Yi, and asked him to take care of the herb garden and the medicine animal enclosure as usual.

Qu Yi has recovered from her illness and returns to school.His family was grateful to Li Jingjing, and in their spare time, they followed Qu Yi to take care of the work and firewood in the medicinal herb garden and medicinal animal pen, and often sent some fresh vegetables to Li's family.

Qu Yu's gentle voice came from the bedroom, "Sister Jing, wait."

Li Jingjing took a pair of powder noodles and a pair of black-faced mille-soled shoes from Qu Yu's hand, and said with a sweet smile, "Thank you."

This is the fourth pair of shoes that Qu Yu made for her and Li Yunxiao.

Melaleuca-soled shoes are more troublesome to make than single-soled shoes, but they are much stronger and warmer.The sole of the shoe is nearly an inch long, with every stitch and thread. You can imagine how much time and effort Qu Yu spent.
