Chapter 153: I Became Brother for Money
After Xiao Jingxuan became a doctor, he stopped working in the fields. Whenever he had time, he would wander around the mountains and bring back some medicinal herbs.
This is exactly the life he wanted, a wonderful life without having to wash dishes, do housework, hunt and farm. It's so wonderful.
There were few patients in the village, and two patients a day was considered a lot. Those who came to see the doctor usually had minor problems such as injuries or headaches. Xiao Jingxuan lived an extremely carefree life as a doctor.
"Disciple, there is work to do, get up quickly." As soon as Liu An entered the door, he shouted to Xiao Jingxuan who was lying on the recliner.
Jamel Xiao opened his eyes dazedly: “Master, I’m sleeping soundly!”
In a trance, he saw Liu An bringing a lot of seeds over.
"I don't know where your wife found a bunch of medicinal seeds from. Now we can have our own medicine garden!" Liu An said excitedly.
Jamel Xiao shuddered: "Seeds?"
He took the cloth bag from Liu An's hand and took a look. It contained a bunch of seeds, separated by small bags.
Liu An: "Are you surprised? Are you surprised? My disciple's wife is really amazing. She was able to get so many rare seeds. Oh, by the way, your wife said that in addition to the ordinary herbs, we can also grow ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, Dendrobium officinale..."
Jamel Xiao: "...Master, we are just doctors, why do we need to grow medicine?"
Liu An glanced at him and said, "It's cost-effective to grow herbs! The herbs you grow yourself are different from the ones you buy outside."
Xiao Jingxuan: "...The clinic is so small, we don't need so many medicinal materials."
"If you don't need it, sell it or save it. It will come in handy someday."
Liu An reached out and grabbed his ear: "Stop talking so much, get up and work quickly. After we learn how to grow herbs, we can go teach those kids."
As long as they can grow medicinal herbs, the children in the Lonely Garden will never have to worry about food and drink.
"Grow the herbs well. You can give the money from the sales to your wife. If your wife is happy, we will have delicious food." Liu An pulled Xiao Jingxuan to the field.
There is wasteland next to the clinic.
Xiao Jingxuan looked at the hoe in his hand with a face full of bitterness and hatred.
Even if you are a doctor, you still can’t avoid doing farm work!
......
He Songlin stood at the gate of Prince Xian's mansion with an embarrassed look, hesitating whether to go in. There were so many delicious foods in Wutong County. He had been eating all the time these days and had used up all his travel money. He didn't know where to get the money for a moment, so he thought of Prince Xian.
He Songlin touched his belly and said, "Should I go in or not? His Majesty asked me to continue investigating the matter of Prince Pingshan. Prince Xian should know the most, so it should be very convenient to investigate from him. But His Majesty also asked me not to be discovered by Prince Xian... Uh, I was discovered a long time ago!"
He Songlin raised his foot and then retracted it. After repeating this three times, he made up his mind, turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, a person walked towards him.
That figure, oh, is one of the emperor's secret guards.
"Old Jin, you're here!" He Songlin ran over and excitedly grabbed the man's hand: "Good brother, lend me some money, I'm starving."
Dark Dragon Guard Lao Jin: "...Last time I came to tell you, I lent you three hundred taels of silver notes, and you used them all up."
He Songlin nodded honestly: "It was all used to buy food."
Lao Jin was amazed: "You eat delicacies from land and sea every day!"
He Songlin felt wronged: "I eat chili peppers."
Lao Jin: “…???”
He Songlin looked at him and said, "Didn't you try the food here last time you came?"
Lao Jin: "...I came here non-stop, and returned to Beijing non-stop. All I ate was dry food. I have heard of chili peppers, but I have never eaten them."
"Come on, I'll take you to eat. You can lend me some money first, and I'll pay you back double in the future."
"Let's not talk about the money and food first. I came here this time on the orders of the Emperor. I have something important to tell you."
He Songlin frowned: "Is it about the time when I was discovered by the King of Xian?"
Lao Jin nodded: "Yes, the emperor said, since you have exposed your whereabouts so uselessly, then don't hide anymore, go directly to the Prince of Xian to find out about the Prince of Pingshan."
"If Prince Xian won't tell you, or dares to lie to you, you can go find Prince Pingshan and take him to the capital."
"Oh, by the way, besides delivering the message to you, I also brought some things with me. They are not for you, but for the great contributors of the Yuan Dynasty."
......
Ye Tang ate mutton during the winter solstice. She received a reward from the capital, which was secretly sent to her by Prince Xian’s men.
A total of 100,000 taels of gold notes, all gold notes.
Gongsun Tianhua said to her solemnly: "The emperor said that the high-yield crops you grow can save the people of the entire Yuan Dynasty, and you have made an invaluable contribution. He wanted to give you an official title, or enthrone you as a county lord, but the world has been turbulent in recent years. The Yuan Dynasty seems peaceful, but in fact, there are constant internal struggles. If people know about your talent, it will bring disaster upon you."
"The emperor doesn't want to undermine a talent like you, so he didn't announce your achievements to the world. He gave you these gold notes to protect you, and it's also the low profile you wanted."
Gongsun Tianhua gave Ye Tang a gold medal for immunity from death and immunity from kneeling: "Take this, and when you go to the capital in the future, you don't have to kneel when you see anyone except the emperor."
Ye Tang happily took it and said, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. Long live the emperor!"
She is not interested in any titles or official positions; what she wants are the most practical things.
Gongsun Tianhua pulled Xiao Jingxuan aside and whispered to him, "He Songlin came to see me. He came to see me on the orders of the emperor. I told him everything I could say according to your request. He will not come to bother you, but report your affairs to the emperor."
Xiao Jingxuan had informed him in advance that if He Songlin came to Prince Xian's Mansion, he should tell He Songlin so.
Gongsun Tianhua said with a sad face: "I think I will be beaten by my father again. After all, I have kept this secret from him for more than three years."
His acquaintance with Xiao Jingxuan was an accident. Three years ago, Qin Jinhua had not yet married him, but was just his fiancée. She wanted to go out and try her luck, so she sneaked out of the capital to do business. She accidentally provoked some desperate criminals and was seriously injured by them. When she fled to the foot of the mountain, she happened to meet Xiao Jingxuan who was collecting herbs in the mountain.
Xiao Jingxuan didn't want to meddle in other people's business. It was only after Qin Jinhua shouted that anyone who saved her life would be given ten thousand taels of silver that Xiao Jingxuan went to rescue people.
Not long after, he followed the trail and found Xiao Jingxuan and Qin Jinhua. When he saw Xiao Jingxuan's face, he immediately thought that Xiao Jingxuan looked very similar to his aunt.
He was still young when his aunt and uncle died in the war, and he could hardly remember what they looked like. However, his father had portraits of his aunt and uncle. He often saw his father looking at the paintings and thinking of them, and he also often heard his father tell stories about his aunt and uncle.
He pestered Jamel Xiao for a long time and investigated for a long time, but there was no clue until one day, Jamel Xiao took the initiative to call him cousin.
Yes, it was Jamel Xiao who took the initiative to recognize him.
Xiao Jingxuan said at the time: "Cousin, I am the son of your aunt and uncle. This is the relic my mother left me. In addition, you should know my master. He is an old acquaintance of my mother. His name is Liu An. I didn't recognize you at first because I was not sure about your identity. Now that I am sure, I dare to tell you this. Cousin, we two brothers finally recognize each other. It is such a happy day. Shouldn't you express your gratitude?"
"What does it mean?"
"Lend me some money."
"You recognized me for the money?"
"Ah."
If it weren't for the fact that he had run out of money, Jamel Xiao would not have recognized him.
After they met, he realized that although his cousin was good-looking and capable, he was a super lazy person who wanted to sleep anytime and anywhere.
This personality is just like my uncle.
My father said that my uncle was also a super lazy person before he got married.
