The emperor saw that Lin Zhizhou didn't want to answer the question about ginseng, so he said directly: "I got this by chance. Is there any problem?"

Being able to donate ginseng is already an act of great righteousness, and the source is relatively unimportant.

When Lin Zhizhou saw that the emperor had taken over the problem to help him relieve his worries, his gratitude was beyond words.

"No problem, no problem. I'm just curious. After all, ginseng of this kind is rare to see in a hundred years."

As Dr. Li spoke, his eyes were glued to the box and he couldn't bear to look away, as if he could live a few more years by looking at it more.

"Send the order and send the ginseng to the border immediately and give it to General Zheng. Hurry up and don't waste a moment."

"It's your Majesty!"

After confirming that ginseng was useful, the emperor immediately ordered it to be delivered to the border as soon as possible to treat General Zheng.

He couldn't help but pray secretly: General Zheng, hold on for me!

"By the way, has there been any news about General Zheng's relatives?"

Speaking of this, the emperor was a little helpless. General Zheng was in danger now. Apart from his wife and son who were guarding the border with him, he didn't know who else he had relatives.

"When I got back to Your Majesty, there was no news. General Zheng once said that if he couldn't fight for fame, he would not be able to return home. So..."

The emperor sighed softly, "What a stubborn old man~"

That's all, as long as he can survive, it won't be too late to find out about his relatives when he returns.

It started to drizzle.

After offering the ginseng, Lin Zhizhou felt relieved. On the way back, his walking became a little brisker unconsciously.

If ginseng really brought General Zheng back from the brink of death, then he would definitely make an extra trip to thank Jin Bao.

……

A few more days passed.

Houyan Village became lively.

"Have you heard that the dean of Longyan Academy is coming!"

"I've heard about it a long time ago. It is said that he is the Taifu, who once taught the prince in the palace."

"What a blessing. I must let my son study hard. To have the same wife as the prince, there must be smoke coming out of the ancestral grave. I have to burn some paper another day."

"I mean, let's go together tomorrow!"

"Let me tell you, it's really thanks to the Zheng family that they know the prefect. Otherwise, where would Longyan Academy come from?"

"In the future, if something happens to Lao Zheng's family, as long as someone useful comes to my place, I will be the first to rush forward."

"And we..."

Such a prestigious person was actually willing to come to their mountain village to be the dean, which made everyone jump for joy.

The Zheng family was once again praised by the villagers as being at the top.

In the future, if their Houyan Village becomes number one, it will be a matter of honor for their ancestors.

It’s exciting to think about it.

That evening, a simple carriage came quietly to the village.

Without alerting anyone, he entered Long Yue's yard directly.

Jin Bao, who was eating, frowned slightly and looked out the door in confusion.

She wrinkled her little nose, lowered her head thoughtfully, and started eating again.

Longzhai, the courtyard is brightly lit.

Butler Li stood at the door of the yard and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else, he returned to the yard and blocked the door from the inside.

"Master, you are finally here!"

Long Yue excitedly walked to the Taifu and bowed respectfully.

Looking at the old man with white hair and haggard face in front of him, he couldn't help but have red eyes.

It seems that that incident really broke the master's mind.

The Taifu nodded with satisfaction. Looking at the rosy and energetic young man in front of him, he could not imagine how thin he looked three years ago.

"Too... Yue'er has grown up! I am so happy to be my teacher!"

There is no distinction between master and disciple, so the master naturally calls out his name.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for several years, the boy who used to be short was almost as tall as him.

"How are you, Mr. Guo?" Doctor Wang walked out of the room with a smile on his face.

"You...why are you here too?"

Taifu Guo looked at the sudden appearance of Doctor Wang with a shocked expression, which he did not expect at all.

"What's wrong? Old man, aren't you happy that I'm here?" Doctor Wang teased and put his arm around Taifu Guo's shoulders, as if the two brothers were getting along well.

"I have been missing for so many years, and I thought you would have turned into ashes long ago!" Taifu Guo said mercilessly.

Humph~ A tough-tongued guy.

Doctor Wang pulled out a piece of his beard in dissatisfaction, and then quickly ran behind Long Yue.

"Hiss~" Taifu Guo covered his chin and took a breath due to the sudden pain.

He glared at Doctor Wang and shook his sleeves. He was an old naughty boy and was too lazy to argue with him.

"Master, let's go into the room and talk slowly."

Long Yue glanced at Divine Doctor Wang, looking a little embarrassed. Her grandfather was really becoming more and more like a child now.

Taifu Guo nodded and followed Long Yue into the living room.

"Have you missed any homework in the past few years?" He asked casually as he took a sip of tea.

"I never dare to slack off." Long Yue replied seriously.

"I mean, can't you two talk about something else? This lesson and that lesson are all going crazy." Divine Doctor Wang rubbed his ears and expressed his impatience.

It's so boring to come all the way here and talk about homework as soon as we meet.

"Then what do you want to talk about?" Taifu Guo glared at him, too lazy to pay attention to him.

"We have a lot to talk about. For example, you are little..." Doctor Wang looked curious and planned to ask something.

"Let's talk about the gold mine!" Long Yue frowned and directly interrupted Doctor Wang's question.

He guessed what his grandfather wanted to ask, but now was not the time to ask.

He didn't want the master to fall into pain as soon as he arrived here.

"Gold mine? Where is the gold mine?" Taifu Guo looked at Long Yue in surprise.

Why has he never heard of a gold mine being discovered somewhere?

"It's the mountain you passed by when you came to the village. I just discovered it a few days ago. I have already informed my father."

My father must have sent someone on the way.

"Can gold mines be found in such a small place?" Guo Taifu looked in disbelief.

On the way here, he had noticed how poor it was here. If there was a gold mine, it would have been dug up long ago.

"Although this village is small, Longyan Mountain is very large. There are many wild beasts inside the mountain, and not many people dare to enter easily." Divine Doctor Wang explained.

If it was so easy to enter the inner circle, he would have been there digging herbs every day, and he would not be idle in the yard all the time.

"Who discovered the gold mine?" asked Taifu Guo.

No one dared to go in, so who discovered the gold mine?

Long Yue paused and replied: "I discovered it together with several children of the Zheng family."

"Aren't you afraid of wild beasts? How many children dare to go to the inner area?"

Taifu Guo looked at him reproachfully. Don't you know your identity? And dare to put yourself in danger.

"Master, don't worry. There are secret guards following you, and the apprentice has a sense of propriety." Long Yue explained.

Taifu Guo nodded, just be measured.

"Master, have you had dinner?"

"You ate in town when you came here, don't worry about me." Taifu Guo showed a hint of exhaustion on his face.

"Then master, rest early and the house will be tidied up long ago."

Master, it’s been a long journey, so let’s have a good chat tomorrow.

Taifu Guo nodded and followed Long Yue out.

Doctor Wang was left sitting there, looking like he had a lot to say but had no place to say it.
