Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 127: Sharing Gifts (5)
The market in the south this year is not so good, it is rainy, and many places are affected by disasters. Yingchuan has a small impact. In Kaoshan Village, the impact is less. One stubble of wheat has been harvested, which is slightly less than in previous years.

At the head of the village, there is a river. The villagers have no wells in their homes, and they often wash clothes here together, and chat with each other when they see each other.This reminded Mo Yan of the indifference of modern people. She lived in the same community with her neighbor for several years, and met countless times, but never spoke.

Mo Yan wanted to go up the mountain to have a look, but Mo Yu said that he had no choice but to let his elder brother Mo Qingyun come back and follow him. His brother was good at hunting, as long as he went up the mountain, he would never come back empty-handed.

"The back mountain in our village is rich in species, but it's also very dangerous. Yan Yan, look at those people wearing bamboo hats, they are all herbal pickers from outside."

These herb collectors carry ropes with them. If there is a place where it is not easy to climb, they will take the rope up to ensure safety. Moreover, collecting herbs is a physical labor. They all live in the villagers' homes for ten days and a half months.

"Everyone in our village is familiar with herbal medicine. During the slack season, they will follow the herbal pickers up the mountain to earn some money to supplement their family expenses."

In the early years, Kaoshan Village was not developed, and the villagers did not understand medicinal materials. They guarded the mountains, went into the mountains to collect some mushrooms and wild fruits, or caught pheasants and hares, and beat teeth for sacrifice. Such good resources were wasted there.

In recent years, some herb collectors unintentionally found a hundred-year-old top-quality ginseng in the mountains, sold it for thousands of taels of silver, and became rich overnight. Return empty-handed and full of rewards, and the mountain village will become famous.

Mo Yan looked at these villagers with admiration. Although as a doctor, she only needs to know how to make medicine, but knowing the medicinal materials and being able to distinguish the good from the bad is the basis. She wants to see where the medicinal materials grow.Now hearing what her cousin Mo Yu said, she feels more and more that she has come to the right place.

Counting the time, it has been a few days since I left Wanqi Yuling. Mo Yan touched the tiger amulet hanging on her chest, feeling worried. She wanted to ask about Mo Bing's situation, but she couldn't say it, fearing that the news would be confidential.

Mo Bing has a cold temper and is rigorous in her work. She quickly entered the role of a maid, helping the Lu family distribute gifts to the villagers. She has a good memory, and Mo Xiang felt that with Mo Bing, she became more and more idle.

After wandering around for a while, it was almost noon, Mo Yu led the crowd back to the yard, just in time to see a luxurious carriage leaving.

"Third Aunt, who's here?"

Several people fetched water from the well to wash, and entered the main room. The aunt again brought the fruit pulled out of the well water. Mo Yan ate crisp pears and listened to the chatter of the crowd.

"Aren't you the magistrate of Yingchuan?"

Such an incident happened in the town yesterday. Before Mo Yan and Mrs. Lu left, the coachman reminded the big family. From then on, he tried to make up for his mistakes, and took this opportunity to send news to Xu Wang, the county magistrate, to sell him.

Xu Wang was very excited when he heard that the wife and daughter of Mo Zhongchen, the censor of Zuodu, had returned home. He wanted to hug his thigh before, but he couldn't find the right owner. He went to visit a few times, but he didn't know what to say to the Mo family. A good opportunity, he must not miss it.

After thinking about it, Xu Wang held back his ecstasy and decided to visit Beili the next day.No, he came to the door sincerely, with a very low profile, and the Lu family was very kind. The master has a high official position in the capital, after all, he is far away, and if there is anything at home, he has to rely on the help of his parents and officials.

When Xu Wang saw that there was a family, he tried his best to flatter him, and invited Lu Shi and Mo Yan to the house as guests, saying that his wife had always admired Lu Shi's talents and learning, and liked to read Lu Shi's poems before getting married.

Before she got married back then, Mrs. Lu did write a few poems, which became famous in the capital. Xu Wang did his homework well, and he only picked good ones to say, and praised the whole family of Mo family all over the place.

"Oh, Xu Da understands."

Mo Yu nodded. Xu Wang is not considered a corrupt official. He has a bit of conscience. Xu Da understands that people give him a nickname, because when he tried the case, he had a catchphrase, "I understand", anyway. Whether he understands or not, it's the same sentence. The common people ridicule him and call him Xu Daming behind his back.

"You girl, I don't know how to keep your voice down. If Master Xu hears it, you will be punished for disrespect!"

Mrs. Zhao was sweeping the house with a feather duster. Seeing that Mo Yu had a quick mouth, a feather duster hit Mo Yu's ass. It's not about hitting the board.

Mrs. Lu had written to her family before, and she felt that Mo Yu was about to get engaged, so it would be better to come to the capital to find a good marriage, but the family thought it over and over again, and still refused, fearing that Mo Yu would not be able to stand those strict rules, I am used to being wild in the village, so I will marry a simple family in the future.

"Mom, the ass is about to be split in half, you are really cruel!"

Mo Yu pouted and complained, Xu Da knew it wasn't her nickname, everyone in the village said so, and besides, everyone left, so what should I pay attention to, can't say it behind my back?
"Sister Yu, your butt has two petals."

The twin brothers didn't know why, so they looked at each other suspiciously, "You see, my brother and I have two petals."

"puff……"

Mo Yan almost spit out a sip of water, because she saw her cousin's face, which was blue for a while, white for a while, and purple again for a while, like a palette, changing in many ways.

The people in the room were very harmonious, talking and laughing, everyone talking about the harvest at home, other than words, made Lu Shi feel at ease. When Mo Qingfeng and Mo Qingyu marry a daughter-in-law, the dowry for Mo Yan in the future will also be a sum of money.

Mo Yan's grandparents were honest and responsible, so they thought, don't put too much burden on their son Mo Zhongchen, the old couple is in good health and can still do sports, so that they won't be a drag on their children in the future.

"Grandma, Daddy is in the capital, and he is also thinking about his family."

It's only been a day since I returned to Kaoshan Village, but Mo Yan really felt the kinship, it's a kind of blood closeness, it has nothing to do with benefits, no one will calculate anything, just want to give how to make the other party feel comfortable.

Mo Yan's grandparents kept a box. It was the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and books used by his father Mo Zhongchen when he was a scholar. They were neatly piled up. Occasionally when the weather was fine, grandma would take the box out and find a place where the light would not be dazzling. And dry in a ventilated place.

Mo Zhongchen was an official in the court, and he only had half a month's rest in the first month of the year. He went to court early on weekdays before dawn.

Every year, Mrs. Lu will prepare some New Year gifts for the servants in the family to send them over. Grandma also loves the servants, and the journey is far away, so that they don't spend any more money.Later, Mrs. Lu thought of a way and asked the caravan to bring it over, and then asked the family to go to the county to pick it up, so that grandpa finally didn't say anything.

"Grandma, after the busy farming season is over and the eldest brother gets married, you all follow the motorcade to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year."

Mo Yan's eyes lit up. Grandpa and family have not been to the capital for many years, and it is time for the whole family to reunite. If grandpa and other relatives can be persuaded to go there, dad may not be very happy.

The New Year in Kyoto is different from that in Yingchuan, it is bustling, and the shop will not be closed during the first month. There is no chance to go to the capital. Hearing what Mo Yu said, he yearns for the capital very much.
