The story of a noble girl

Chapter 28 Ginseng Panax notoginseng

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Lin Xiaoning pretended to be solemn and said: "My lord, with that look in your eyes just now, don't you have something to plot against the girl?"

The county magistrate Hu stared at him: "You know my heart, girl, your shop is doing very well, but you still need a woman?"

"It seems that there are still refugees disturbing the soft heart of adults." Lin Xiaoning chuckled.

"Girl, I'm worried. Many refugees will freeze to death and starve to death in winter. In other weathers, they can still find some food to eat. In this weather, it's hard to find work. It's very pitiful."

"Didn't I take away 99 last time? Are there still many?"

"Not many this time. The village of a big family helped to solve some good ones. There are about thirty more, mostly elderly people and women. They are all staying in that dilapidated temple. I will be separated from the master." Time will send some rice grains and medicinal materials, alas, a drop in the bucket."

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm here today to share your worries."

"Good girl, good girl, you take it all. I will settle down in Taocun. The work in your shop is easy, which is what they can do."

"Okay, my confidant, if the girl doesn't share your worries for you, who else will share her worries, but my lord, there is one more thing, my family still needs to buy land."

"Buy land again, good girl, your shop is doing well. It's only been a while before you have money to buy land again. I couldn't tell you that the other 2000 mu will belong to the Lin family in three years. It seems that I am blind. "

"My lord, how could you be blind? It's just a girl. I'm just lucky. I want to buy the other 2000 mu of land next to my house, and resettle the refugees in the county every year. They can all settle in Taocun, but my lord bought my house. Can you give me those barren hills on the edge of the land, and a group of barren hills eight miles outside the village, too?"

"Girl, what are you going to do in that barren mountain?"

"My lord, what do you think the barren hills can be used for?"

"Stinky girl, don't you... burn bricks?"

"My lord has suffered a lot."

"But girl, you know that not all soil can be fired into bricks."

"Don't worry, my lord. I invited a brick kiln master to look at it. He said that although it is not the best, bricks can still be fired."

"Girl, you are so courageous, now these homeless men will no longer have to worry about their jobs."

"But my lord, I have given you the bottom line here. You can't sit on the ground and raise the price. You have to reward me for the barren hills."

County Magistrate Hu said: "Girl, I'm just a small county magistrate, how can I reward you for those mountains."

"My lord, don't speak dark words in front of Ming people. You can decide to give the 500 mu of land to my Lin family just to resettle the refugees. Your lord, you are not a small county magistrate."

"I'm just a little county magistrate."

"My lord, horses are different from horses, and people are different. This county magistrate also has a different county magistrate."

County Magistrate Hu remained unmoved.

Lin Xiaoning unceremoniously tugged at County Magistrate Hu's clothes: "My lord, you are so cruel, I will resettle you as a refugee without saying a word. I am thinking about your body all day long, and I will give it to you when I find a good medicine and make it into powder." Here, when it gets cold, sweaters and trousers will be prepared for you. Now I want to share your worries, and resettle those refugees every month. I still forget the old friends, and I still have friends. Sir, you can’t let me do it again Ah, if this is the case, girl, I will die for you."

Magistrate Hu put on a thoughtful expression.

"My lord..." Lin Xiaoning acted coquettishly, "I will resettle all the refugees within [-] miles around Qingshui County... every year..."

County magistrate Hu burst out laughing when he heard this: "You stinky girl, my lord, I don't even want to make a show. I will reward you. I will reward you. The refugees from the three hundred miles around Qingshui County will be handed over to you for resettlement. Yue, it's done, girl!"

"However, my lord, don't call all the refugees to me at once. Take your time. It will take time for me to resettle. It's cold, so you can't let them live in thatched huts for the winter." Lin Xiaoning thought about the resettlement of the 99 people before. , said with lingering fear.

"Go, stinky girl, you want so many refugees, and you won't be able to find them for a while. There are only thirty or so. You can take them back today. I feel very worried about living there."

With the land deed in hand, Lin Xiaoning asked Wang Yong to go to the bull market to buy two strong oxen and a ready-made ox cart.Among the [-] or so people, they found two old men who could drive ox carts. Wang Yong drove the horse cart, followed by two ox carts, carrying more than [-] people, and returned to Taocun.

These people were all leftovers from rich families, frail old men and old women, plus an ugly woman and two little girls. Compared with the 99 last time, they were still human.

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Xiaoning happily asked: "Wang Yong, how many cows and horses are there in our family?"

"Five cows and two horses, Miss." Wang Yong replied.

"Say it again, Wang Yong."

"Five strong oxen and two good horses, miss!" Wang Yong replied loudly.

Lin Xiaoning smiled happily: "Wang Yong, are you two brothers wronged by following my family?"

"How can you be wronged, Miss is a strange woman."

"Miss, I come from beyond the sky, do you believe it?"

"Letter, miss."

Lin Xiaoning laughed wantonly: "Wang Yong, good man, you two brothers are both good men, I know that your brothers have extraordinary backgrounds, if there is a chance, I will definitely fulfill your wishes."

Wang Yong was holding the carriage steadily, and there was no expression on the young handsome face.

Mr. Lin stared dumbfounded at the 9 taels of silver note and the land deed in his hand, his throat made a rattling sound, and he was speechless.

Lin Xiaoning began to lie again: "A while ago, Wangzai took me to pick two ginseng plants. One of the smaller plants made wine for you, and the other big plant exchanged these bank notes and land deeds."

Mr. Lin hissed suppressedly, and his voice changed: "Stinky girl, you stinky girl, soak in wine, soak in wine, what kind of wine, I can't see it, I thought it was a few years old ginseng, this jar How much money is the wine worth, girl, you cheated grandpa, cheated grandpa, and lived to be in your fifties, and this jar of wine drank away your blessings."

Lin Xiaoning hurriedly comforted and said: "It's okay, it's okay, grandpa is very lucky, how can you drink a jar of wine, grandpa wants to live a long life and enjoy all the glory, so Wangzai's experience of collecting treasures and medicines, those who used to The notoginseng powder is also estimated to be several hundred years old, and it is probably worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. But everyone is healthy after eating it, and you see that Xiaobao is all healed now, and he is fine."

There was only a muffled sound outside the door, and Lin Jiadong and Xiaoxiang's horrified voices came: "Aunt Zhang...Aunt Zhang..."

It was Aunt Zhang who brought some eggs to the Lin family, and when she walked into the hall, she heard Lin Xiaoning talking about Sanqi powder in the room, and she passed out suddenly, and the basket of eggs fell wet and sticky on the ground.

Lin Xiaoning immediately rushed out to pinch Aunt Zhang, while Xiaobao was so frightened that she cried...

Lin Jiadong was sweating profusely from nervousness, Xiao Xiang hugged Xiao Bao tightly, trembling unceasingly, Mr. Lin's expression was distorted, a little frightening.

Aunt Zhang slowly regained her breath, her eyes were straightened, she asked Xiaoxiang to find a knife, and said in a daze that she wanted to cut open her stomach and pull out the medicine powder she had eaten.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lin Xiaoning grabbed Aunt Zhang and shouted loudly into her ear: "Auntie! Aunt Zhang!!!"

Aunt Zhang was stunned by Lin Xiaoning's yelling, and after a while she burst into tears with a "wow", out of breath, and said, "Xiao Ning, you have hurt my aunt, such an expensive medicine powder... How could my aunt be able to eat it, but my aunt actually ate it... all of it..."

Lin Xiaoning was in such a mess that night, he was severely reprimanded by Mr. Lin, and he had to coax Xiaobao. On Aunt Zhang's side, Lin Jiadong and Mr. Lin also persuaded him until midnight before he calmed down.
