The story of a noble girl

Chapter 19 Where Are You From?

"Thank you, old god, for opening my eyes today. You are really a god. I'll have my elder brother deliver those herbs tomorrow, and I'll grab a few more medicines." I went to several other pharmacies, and as expected, the price of honeysuckle was the highest at only eight yuan. These days, the businessman is really dark.

Lin Xiaoning turned back to the entrance of the security hall and waited for the elder brother and Wang Gang.Not long after, I saw my elder brother and Wang Gang walking over with an ox cart and a big white horse.

Wang Gang said: "Second Miss, this horse is docile and gentle, and it is the best for carrying people and goods." He stopped talking.

Lin Jiadong beamed and said to Lin Xiaoning, Wang Gang knew that the horse was really bad, and as soon as the horse market slipped down, he set his sights on this horse, and bid 68 taels, not a cent more.I thought I couldn't buy it. The horses are so expensive now. I didn't expect the horse dealer to sell them to us after being distressed for a long time.

Horses are indeed expensive now, Lin Xiaoning thought: 2000 taels of silver, 500 taels of land, three cows and ox carts for nearly 30 taels, cotton, coarse cloth, rice, and other miscellaneous things, spent Nearly 100 taels.I bought this horse again today, and I still have more than 1000 taels of silver at home, which is enough, but it’s not a problem if I can only get out but not get in.The medicinal materials of ginseng cannot be produced at present, and the Lin family has suddenly become rich, so they have to keep a low profile for the time being.

The three of them were hungry all the way down, so they found a restaurant and ordered five bowls of beef noodles, two bowls for eldest brother and Wang Gang, and one bowl for Lin Xiaoning. Wang Gang didn't refuse, so he ate everything.Wangzai was also hungry, but he only ate two slices of beef.He frowned while eating, it must be a strawberry greedy for space.

After eating, the three of them turned to the East Street Cloth Shop. The Lin family bought cloth in West Street.

The man saw a group of three people, an ox cart, a big white horse, and a little fox in the girl's arms. He warmly greeted them and asked, "What kind of cloth do you three want to buy?"

"I want to ask how do you deal with those scraps of cloth in your house?" Lin Xiaoning went straight to the point.

"Oh, that," the boy was a little disappointed: "Those are sold by the catty."

"How much is a catty?"

"Large pieces of cloth cost one catty, small pieces of cloth cost two catties, silk and satin should be thinner, large pieces of cloth cost two coins, and small pieces of cloth cost one penny."

"Can I see the cloth?"

Reluctantly, the head clerk took out a basket of cloth from under the counter.Lin Xiaoning checked, the large piece of cloth was still very big, and the small piece of cloth could also be used to make hats and other small items, and it was not broken, so he asked: "Man, how many pieces of this kind of cloth do you have at home? I want them all. Can you count me in?" Is it cheaper?"

"Everything, girl, are you kidding me? Can these cloths be used as clothes? They can only be patched."

"Don't worry about it, anyway, I want it all, call your shopkeeper, it will be cheaper for me."

"Okay, okay, I'll go find the shopkeeper." The guy replied happily.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xiaoning came out from the cloth shop, followed by the elder brother and Wang Gang each carrying a large bag of cloth, and the shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "Miss Lin, I will keep all the cloth pieces for you next time. Ha."

More than 200 catties of cloth, 200 wen, and 100 wen of cotton and silk threads of various colors, Lin Xiaoning regarded it as a treasure, and the shopkeeper of the cloth shop was even more smiling.

Wang Gang and Lin Jiadong put two large sacks on the ox cart. Lin Xiaoning got into the ox cart and said triumphantly, "Brother, Wang Gang, let's go, let's go to the blacksmith's shop to get a saddle, and then go to Mr. Hu."

Lin Jiadong fondled Lin Xiaoning's head, and happily sang: Let's go...

When County Magistrate Hu heard that the Lin family was coming, he welcomed the three of them to the study with a smile: "The young master of the Lin family and the girl of the Lin family are here, the master quickly invites someone to watch tea."

The three sat down, only Wang Gang stood beside Lin Xiaoning silently.

Lin Xiaoning wanted to ask for an explanation, so he touched Wangzi in his arms, and said with a smile:

"My lord, the girl went to the city today and saw the rows of deep houses and courtyards in the city, blue brick and tile houses, so magnificent, and the young ladies in brocade clothes and satin on the street, so energetic, I wanted to ask my lord why it should have been done by the yamen and the rich. But I asked my Lin family to do it. Those people are not my Lin family's slaves, but my Lin family has to be responsible for building houses, eating cotton clothes and quilts. My lord is too cruel. My Lin family was born in poverty, so it was so easy to exchange the family heirloom jade I only got a little silver. I wanted to be a small landlord, a paradise, and do things freely, but now that adults are involved in these people, I can't bear to let my Lin family take care of them, and I am unwilling to take care of them. Ask for an explanation."

Master Hu stroked his beard and smiled: "Girl, do you know that on the day the Lin family sold jade, I knew it, Master Zhou Ji got this treasure, and that night he had a drink with a group of friends. Among the young master's friends, there was one It is the master's nephew." "Master Hu, then you are even more wrong, since you know about this, why did you have such questions when you bought the land?"

"Girl, you were born as a commoner in the Lin family, where did you get this precious jade? If you don't ask the source, I, the county magistrate, will not be negligent in my duty? But what your Lin family has done these days, I am very pleased with you, my lord. Master must have told you what I said, but there are more than 1000 acres of your 2000 acres of land."

"My lord, is this considered to be an explanation for you?"

"Girl, what do you want to say?"

"Girl, I just want to know why my Lin family does what rich people do?"

"Although these 99 people are refugees and beggars, they can be resettled by the rich, but I can't bear to let them be slaves, my lord. From now on, I will be slaves for generations. If I follow your Lin family to open up wasteland and farm land, I will be free anyway, girl, you understand gone."

Lin Xiaoning thought about what the master said in the morning, and said, "My lord, can I make a condition."

"Oh, what's the condition, let's hear it."

"Now Taocun is a big village. Including those 99 people, there are nearly [-] households with many children, but there is no school in the village, and there is no gentleman. The adults care about the people. Why don't you appoint a gentleman to come to Taocun The school is built by the Lin family, but Mr. Shu Xiu, can my lord let Taocun Gongzhong take care of it?"

The county magistrate Hu's face changed drastically when he heard this: "Girl, is this your idea?"

"It's my idea, my lord, what's the problem?"

County magistrate Hu's complexion sank, he pondered for a moment, and then changed the subject and asked: "Girl, your prescription really works. The pharmacist saw this prescription and said he knew where he was stuck before. This prescription is too simple. He In the past, my thinking was complicated, so that I have been ill for many years, and the medicine has no effect. Now after three doses, the stubborn illness has been cured. Girl, is this prescription of yours really an ancestral prescription?"

"Your Excellency asks this question, but do you suspect that this recipe is not inherited from your ancestors?"

"The prescription is not surprising. The doctor said that the prescription is a classic prescription. The strange thing is that the person who prescribed the prescription is accurate in distinguishing the disease. You must know how sick I am, girl. How can you see my main symptom?" County magistrate Hu After finishing speaking unhurriedly, he picked up the teacup and drank tea, shaking his goatee, and kept looking at Lin Xiaoning.

The more Lin Jiadong listened, the more he sat on pins and needles.Wang Gang stood there expressionless as always.

"This old fox suddenly changed the subject. It's spying on me, but this old fox has people in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't communicate with the Lin family. I can't just talk nonsense..." Lin Xiaoning secretly said.He took a sip of tea, squinted at County Magistrate Hu for a while, and replied:
"Master Hu, if I say that I am in my own place, can you be trusted? Do you know that all diseases in the world are ultimately caused by the imbalance of yin and yang. The so-called big yin and yang in the world, and the small yin and yang in the human body. Finding the imbalance is the key. Your body How sick I was, but I didn't give you the pulse. That's why I skipped the superficial symptoms of you and found the root cause. Besides, you have a predestined relationship with me, so the prescription is naturally effective. This prescription is not only For a prescription, the mental method is also very important, if the mental method is there, if I have a relationship with an adult, how can the adult's illness not be cured?"

"Girl, who are you? Where are you from?" County Magistrate Hu asked solemnly.

"Seventy years ago in this dynasty, there was a woman who was able to win the world at the age of 70, and was good at eloquence at the age of 12. Adults can know this woman." I didn't really put on the good-looking travel notes for the good-looking.

"Of course I know, this woman is a strange woman in my dynasty, with a gentle and martial arts strategy, who dares to compete with men."

"My lord, may I ask who this woman is and where she comes from?"

County magistrate Hu stroked his beard in thought and remained silent.

"Ask my lord again, who are those 99 refugees, and where did they come from?"

Magistrate Hu's hand stroking his beard suddenly stopped, his eyes stared straight.

Lin Xiaoning said again: "It is necessary to simplify the diagnosis and diagnosis of diseases. The adults say that things in the world are not always like this. What is the right way to do..." At this point, Lin Xiaoning stopped, thinking that this old man Hu is a wise man, You don't have to tell the whole story.For some reason, the relationship between myself and this old man Hu is very delicate, as long as I am in front of this old man, I completely lose my temper as a 12-year-old girl, I even forget to pretend, and I really obeyed the old man's "fate," This is really "fate".

Magistrate Hu's eyes suddenly brightened.Laughing loudly: "Hahaha, girl, you are my confidant. What can be done is the right way, so why bother about the source of the truth. I, Hu Zhaoxiang, have lived for 42 years. I ask myself how I can do it. I dare not say that I am worthy of the common people, but I am worthy of it." My own conscience, now in this filthy place in the officialdom, has lost its clarity. I was counting on the moon, but it turned into forgetting the moon and chasing after the finger. Now, girl, you wake up the dreamer, I, Hu Zhaoxiang, will put on the incense table today , I ask Master to testify, and I will solemnly form a friendship with you girl."

Hearing this, Lin Jiadong heaved a sigh of relief and was overjoyed.The second sister is really painful, it hurts to death.

"My lord, you are very resourceful, you value me so much, girl, I feel both fear and joy..." Lin Xiaoning flattered her with a coquettish smile, and thought to herself: Old man Hu, old man Hu, you are my true confidant.

"Go, go, you girl will still panic. I think you girl is [-]% similar to this little fox you raised, and she is also a little fox." County magistrate Hu joked.

Wang Zai lost no time in ingratiating and being cute, twisting his ass and flicking his tail at Magistrate Hu, making Magistrate Hu laugh out loud, and his beard kept shaking.

Lin Xiaoning said with a smile: "My lord, about Mr...."

"Don't worry, the girl has a long-term strategy, I have never thought so thoroughly, I will send you to Taocun in the spring of next year!" ———————————————————————————————————————————————— Pull, click to add to the bookshelf and bookmark, dear, newcomers need your support and encouragement!
