neighbors with the king

Chapter 42
The previous batches of dried purslane had dried up and were put into baskets for storage.

Su Qingqing was greedy, so she planned to use these horse teeth vegetables and meat to make buns.After mixing the minced meat, she handed over the matter to Qingyun and Hui Niang. She was really tired today and needed a good rest. She did almost all physical work all day.

"Are Zhongyi and Hui Niang there?" Aunt Zhao's voice came from the door.

"Qingyun, Qingqing, I'm here." Hearing the voice, Zhao Xing'er also came over.

"Here, just so you guys are here to help." Hui Niang yelled in the kitchen.

Aunt Zhao and Myolie Zhao walked into the kitchen with a smile. When they saw a lot of ingredients inside, they were taken aback but didn't say anything.

"Ma'am, if you have anything to ask, just ask." Su Qingqing looked at her with a smile on her hesitation.

"This?" Aunt Zhao is hesitating. She has a good relationship with the Su family, but if she asks, will Hui Niang think that she is meddling and hurt the peace of the two families?
"Is there anything that our two families can't say?" Hui Niang knew from her expression that she must have something to say.

"Then I said, don't be angry if you don't like it." Aunt Zhao decided to ask carefully.

"Tell me." Hui Niang said calmly, she could guess that the news Aunt Zhao revealed would definitely not be good news.

"Everyone in the village is wondering if Mr. Liu has taken a fancy to Qingyun or Qingqing of your family." After Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, the sweat came down.

"Who is talking nonsense?" Hui Niang thought of many possibilities, but never expected that the villagers would talk nonsense like this.Doesn't this ruin the reputation of the two girls?

"Ma'am, tell me, who said that. I'll slap her big mouth." Su Qingyun has a thin skin, and tears are only swaying in his eyes.

Su Qingjian and the others also clenched their fists. The bastards in the village couldn't see their family well.

"It's all nonsense, so don't be angry." Seeing the angry expressions of the Su family, Aunt Zhao regretted saying the wrong thing.

"I scolded you for you, they just don't like other people's good." Zhao Xing'er said angrily with her round eyes wide, "They're all gossips."

"Mother, sister, what are you angry about? Eldest aunt can't be angry anymore. This is an unwarranted thing, and besides, your mouth grows on other people, and you can't stop other people's mouths." Su Qingqing didn't think so at all. not angry.

The Su family was originally poor, but suddenly became rich, and it was inevitable that some people would look at it with greed.

This is normal.

"Ma'am, let me tell you the truth." Su Qingqing said with a smile, "I had a teacher since I was a child, and I learned medical skills from her. And I have been a teacher since this year. Just think about the last time I almost died. , if Master hadn’t sneaked over to save my life, how could I stand in front of you?” She said half-truthfully.

"We only found out about this master recently. He is a very powerful old man, and he is an expert." Hui Niang understood her intention and continued.

"I said what's going on? It turns out to be like this." Aunt Zhao slapped her thigh suddenly and said, "They said that this matter is strange, and our head of the family even quarreled with them because of it."

"That Mr. Liu is Lin Wang's cousin. He happened to have a chronic illness, but he just came to our house for treatment. Hear it, does our house smell like herbs?" Su Qingqing continued to explain.

"No, I thought your aunt could use these herbs." Mrs. Zhao nodded in agreement.

These days, because of the Su family's medicines, blanched medicines, and smoked wormwood, the whole courtyard wall smells like herbs.

"Ma'am, can you find someone who has unused wormwood for me, it must be old wormwood." Su Qingqing asked. "I can buy it for silver."

"Hey, what money do you give me? Most people don't have this thing. They mainly dislike the smell of wormwood, but you asked the right person. We have piled up a lot of it in our thatched shed. If you want to use it, you can go to Our family can take it." After Aunt Zhao asked clearly, she felt relieved for the Su family.

She looked at Su Qingqing with satisfaction. This girl is a blessing to the Su family. It seems that the good days of the Su family are coming.

"Wormwood may be useless to others, but to me it's just a medicinal material, and I won't ask for it in vain." Su Qingqing said, "Well, since your family has a lot, I'll give you two taels of silver. "Su Qingqing said to her.

"That won't work, it's just some useless withered grass, you can't ask for money." Aunt Zhao, who put her hand in the basin, was anxious.

"To be honest, we all know how my aunt takes care of our family. I earned some money by treating Mr. Liu, and I'm going to build a house in a few days. I can afford this money. If someone else's wormwood Absolutely will not give such a high price." Su Qingqing said.

There are some things that cannot be concealed, and it is better to say it all at once than to keep people guessing.

"Then you can't ask for it." Aunt Zhao waved her hand.

"If you don't want money, I don't want wormwood either. At worst, I'll buy it from other people's homes." Su Qingqing shook her head and said, "By the way, buying other people's homes costs a penny a catty."

After talking about this point, Aunt Zhao had nothing to say, and finally accepted the money with a red face.At this time, the meat buns in the first pot were also cooked, so Su Qingqing distributed the meat buns to the family.

All the people present were full of praise. They didn't expect the taste of horse teeth dishes to be so good.

Su Qingqing just laughed. If it wasn't for the large amount of meat and oil, how could these buns taste so good?
When Aunt Zhao left, Su Qingqing filled her family basket with half a basket of meat buns, and gave her a fish and some meat to take back.

Then when it got dark, she asked the old man and Su Qingshan to send some meat buns, a chicken and a fish to the village chief's house.

So on the second day, everyone in the village knew how she, Su Qingqing, woke up, and that she had a powerful magician.The rumors in the village were dispelled without attack.

Early the next morning, Li Yuanyi, who was thinking about zongzi, hurried to Su's house.

Su Qingqing looked helplessly at him, a prince scratching his head, walking around in the yard.Relatively speaking, the monstrous Li Yuanchu stood in the courtyard but looked very indifferent. The early summer morning breeze blew his black hair, and the slightly fluttering skirts made him look like an exile.

At this moment, Su Qingqing suddenly thought of the most famous Lanling King in history, maybe the Lanling King was like this back then.

"Su Qingqing, is my zongzi ready?" Seeing her come out, Li Yuanyi immediately became elated.

Can you stop being so anxious, Su Qingqing secretly rolled her eyes while he was not paying attention.When she looked up, she found that Li Yuanchu was staring at her with a half-smile.
