Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

"Big brother asked me to bring the second brother's medicine. Second brother, how did you feel when you took the medicine prescribed by your elder brother yesterday? Are you feeling better?"

Raising the medicine jar in his hand, Ling Jingpeng poured out two bowls and sent them to Ling Jinghan, who was lying on the bed, not forgetting to care about his condition.

"It's not that fast, but I coughed a lot less last night, and I didn't cough much when I woke up this morning. It should be effective."

Holding up his body to take the medicine bowl, Ling Jinghan said with a smile, compared to his parents and brothers, he was used to not holding out too much hope for his own illness, so as not to be hit too hard in the future.

"It will definitely be effective, you don't know, eldest brother's medical skills are very good. Yesterday we drank the prescription for preventing the plague. He prescribed it, and earned 10 taels of silver because of it. Second brother, you can recuperate in peace, I believe. Big brother will definitely cure you." Thinking of what Ling Wen said, Ling Jingpeng leaned over to sit next to the room and said excitedly, no one knows about this except the few of them.

"What? Didn't he just buy it when he encountered a plague? Why did it become his prescription again?"

When Ling Wangshi heard this, he walked over with Ling Chenglong. Even Ling Jinghan, who was drinking medicine, couldn't help but put down the medicine bowl. Plague is not a common cold disease. How can even a preventive medicine be prescribed? Is his medical skills really that good?

"I don't know exactly what's going on. I heard Xiaowen say that the elder brother's medical skills are really good, the second brother's illness will definitely be cured, and when the second brother is healed, maybe he will be able to participate in this year's children's competition. As for the exam, next year, we will take the exam for a scholar and come back, and then there will be a scholar in Qiuwei, and a jinshi will become an official in the middle of the year, and our good days will come."

The more Ling Jingpeng thought about it, the more beautiful it became. It seemed that the picture of his second brother's high school had already appeared in front of him. In addition, Ling Chenglong and his wife also instantly forgot their previous doubts and showed smiles one after another.

"You're as beautiful as you think! Do you think the imperial examination is so good? Haven't you seen my grandfather take the exam for so many years and haven't made any progress?"

Still Ling Jinghan was rational, poking his head helplessly and laughing, also indirectly pierced his dream, Ling Jingpeng wrinkled his nose and muttered: "He can't be hit, it doesn't mean you won't be hit either, maybe you will. huh?"

Apart from the eldest brother, what he admires most is the second brother, perhaps because he spends too much time on the bed, his knowledge is the best in this family, even better than the old man, just? ? His dilapidated body prevented him from taking the imperial examinations.

"Okay, that's all for the future. Regarding the matter of the parent's proposal to separate the family yesterday, did the eldest brother say anything?"

Not wanting to argue with him on this matter, Ling Jinghan calmly changed the subject. Others don't know, so he doesn't know? To say that the person in this family who wants to split up the most is his younger brother. As early as when the eldest brother was kicked out and they were only nine years old, he could see that he had been thinking about splitting up the family.

"No, eldest brother just said that the opportunity like yesterday was not enough, let's wait."

Speaking of this topic, Ling Jingpeng's shoulders collapsed and he couldn't help but feel lost. What a great opportunity yesterday, why wasn't it enough?

Ling Chenglong and his wife are also troubled by this matter. When some things are not revealed, everyone will be at odds with each other, pretending to be stupid, and life will be fine. Once it is revealed, the future will be even more difficult. what.

"Well, mom and dad, you don't have to worry too much. I think eldest brother is right. The opportunity like yesterday is really not enough. If the father really promises us to go out and have a single, it will be implemented. The truth of my son? It is not good for the reputation of the Ling family. It is absolutely impossible for you to agree. You have also seen what you did yesterday. Parents, you can't really watch the milk being sent back to your parents' house, right? So even if the big brother doesn't let go, it will develop in this direction. Let's just listen to the big brother and wait, maybe there is a bigger opportunity. Coming soon."

After touching his chin and being silent for a moment, Ling Jinghan raised his head to look at his parents who were obviously lost and worried. He always felt that the eldest brother seemed to have a plan, but he just didn't tell them.

"Hey, since you said so, then your parents should wait a little longer, Jinghan, hurry up and drink the medicine, now your parents don't want to do anything, just hope that your illness will recover, as long as your three brothers are healthy and healthy. , even if my parents are stuck here for the rest of their lives, they are willing."

Ling Chenglong and his wife looked at each other and sighed helplessly, what else could they do other than wait? You can't force your parents to split up with a knife, right? That kind of filial piety, they really can't come out.

"Well, I also listened to the elder brother and the second elder brother." Although he was still a little uneasy, after Ling Jinghan explained, Ling Jingpeng finally felt relieved. By the time he left with the medicine jar, it was almost half an hour later. .

Chapter 049 Big business, re-contract

Early in the morning, two carriages suddenly entered Lingjia Village from the borders of several villages. After asking about Ling Jingxuan's residence, the carriages in front went straight to the foot of Yuehua Mountain. All the villagers who lived in the field saw it, but no one dared to step forward to ask. Almost everyone was guessing who the two carriages were looking for.

"Yu?" The carriage stopped at the door of Ling Jingxuan's house. The shopkeeper Zhang of Xinyuan Restaurant got out of the car behind, motioned one of the drivers to look at the carriage, and then knocked on the closed wooden door of Ling Jingxuan's house with two guys. .

"Who is it?" The little bun's voice sounded crisply, and then, only a creak was heard, the wooden door was opened from the inside, and the little bun standing behind the door was crooked.

A large number of them stared suspiciously for a moment, and before Shopkeeper Zhang could speak, the little bun turned around abruptly, spread his feet and ran back.

"Daddy, Daddy, the uncle from that restaurant came yesterday, Daddy??"

"Uh" Seeing this, Manager Zhang's forehead went black, and he stared at the little figure of Sahuan with a stiff face.

"Let's make shopkeeper Zhang laugh, please come in!"

After a while, Ling Jingxuan came out of the room, followed by Ling Jingpeng and two little buns who had just come over. The shopkeeper who was stunned finally recovered, smiled a little embarrassedly, and folded his fists and cupped his hands and said: " Young Master Ling, please."

"Hehe... let's be polite, please." How could the host walk in front of the guests? He still wants to do his business.

"Haha?? Then I'll be rude, to be honest, Young Master Ling, I'm here to talk to you about the jam, yesterday?? Hey, you can actually catch such a big carp at this time, Young Master Ling, this is also yours?"

Shopkeeper Zhang, who entered the yard, was only halfway through his words, and his attention was attracted by the buckets of fish in the yard. Seeing the fat and big carp inside, Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help but wonder, there is no special fishing in this area. Fishermen who make a living, not to mention the fish in the river, there are also a lot of marine fish, but also because of the year-round fishing, plus the inability to feed, it is generally difficult to see such a large fish in this season, which is why the fish The main reason why the price is so high.

"Well, the medicinal fish I raise in the nearby creek doesn't produce much, it's just enough to sell some money to make ends meet."

Ling Jingxuan obviously didn't want to say more, he just made a fool of himself. He didn't think Shopkeeper Zhang would be as easy to deceive as those people in the market. It would be bad if he asked him to take him to see where the fish was raised. Before the fish pond was built, he didn't plan to catch too many fish. "Medicine fish? Can you raise it yourself?"

Keenly grasped the key point, Manager Zhang couldn't help exclaiming, for thousands of years, this is something that no one has ever done.

"Haha... I just got lucky and figured out a recipe for raising fish with herbs."

He knew it would be like this, Ling Jingxuan was helpless, if he said he caught fish casually, it would be even more difficult to fool with Manager Zhang's shrewdness. Now is not the season for mass production of fish, and it is early in the morning, so why are there so many fish waiting? Where to let him catch?

"Then can you ration every day?"

Seeing that he still has something to hide, Manager Zhang decisively gave up the topic, and instead pointed out that he was interested in these fish, Ling Jingxuan pretended to ponder before replying: "At present, there are at most thirty a day, not necessarily carp, silver carp. , there are grass carp, if the shopkeeper wants to, he can only send a carriage to pick up the goods, I can't deliver it to the town every day."

Xinyuan Restaurant can be opened throughout the Qing Dynasty, and the forces behind it must be extraordinary. It is also a good thing to cooperate with them for a long time. Now, due to the lack of its own fish pond, it is impossible to sell a large number of fish. It's up to them to make money.

"Okay, let's go in and talk slowly."

One last look at the lively fish in the bucket, the shopkeeper Zhang took the initiative to step forward, Ling Jingxuan quietly gave Ling Jingpeng a look, and motioned him to take two little buns to the backyard before following up. The most important task for children is to read And play, forget it before, he doesn't want them to get involved in business affairs too early in the future.
