Farming and reading lady

After howling silently in the room for a while, Gu Xixian calmed himself down, then restrained the excited expression on his face and opened the

When they opened the door, they smiled innocently. After the family had finally finished their dinner, I have to say that since they moved back to the old house, the old man ordered the eldest and second sons to eat together, saying that this would help to enhance their relationship. Since all the families were working together to make money, no one had any objections, and all the families took the initiative to pay for the food.

After returning to their own residence, fearing that his brother was too young to keep his mouth shut, Gu Xixian quietly pulled his father aside and told him about ginseng and ganoderma. Du Xianniang saw the father and daughter, the younger one was calm, while the older one was startled, stunned, and looked around like a thief. She couldn't help but feel funny, and didn't know what surprising thing her daughter said to make her father look like a fool.

"Mom, look, dad is whispering with my sister again. What can't he tell us? Really." Gu Xihao complained. He was a little jealous of his father. Why was his sister more dependent on him than him?

Du Xian's mother smiled and said: Poor child, you are the only one who can't listen. There is nothing your mother doesn't know that your father knows.

"Mom, why don't you say anything? Don't you think Dad has gone too far?" It was Dad who was wrong; his sister could not be wrong.

"Well, it's too much." Du Xianniang replied smoothly.

Gu Xihao rolled his eyes. Couldn't his mother say it more emotionally? Even a fool could tell from the perfunctory tone. He walked back to his and his sister's small room a little depressed, counting the number of his sister's calls before going back to his room.

Catching a glimpse of her brother's unhappy expression, Gu Xixian pushed her silly father away and ran to her mother, "Mom, take Dad back to his room quickly. Be sure to wake me up early tomorrow. I'm going back to my room to learn to read with my brother first."

"Okay, run slower." Du Xianniang jokingly pulled up the husband who was despised by her daughter and said, "Come back to your senses."

"Xianniang, do you know?" Gu Lieqi stood up and approached Xianniang, whispering in her ear: "My daughter said she got a ginseng, and asked me to take her to sell it secretly tomorrow."

"What? Do you think Xian'er did something wrong? Do you think everything should be divided equally?" Du Xianniang frowned. Hadn't she given away enough of her daughter's things?

Feeling the coldness in his wife's tone, Gu Liqi quickly explained: "No, no, I was just too surprised."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this, he was just too surprised, he never knew ginseng could grow in their area. No, how could there be ginseng in the south? He had never heard of it, didn't ginseng grow in the northeast?

After hearing what he said, Du Xianniang softened her tone, "Why think so much? Xian'er has been touched, so that's what he deserves. Don't think too much. Our Xian has always been generous. Since she didn't take it out in front of everyone this time, she must have her reasons."

"I know. It must be the old immortal who told us this. This is a warning to us. We can't let our family rely on our daughter for everything. She is still so young." Gu Liqi felt very distressed. It was all their fault as incompetent parents that they had to let such a young child busy themselves for their lives.

Gu Xixian didn't know about the couple's night talk. She went back to her room, practiced with her brother for a while, and then went to bed.

The next day, before daybreak, the father and daughter quietly set out, without even a donkey cart. Gu Xixian, with her small bag on her back, lay on her father's broad and warm back, feeling very safe, squinting her eyes and sleeping all the way to the town's carriage and horse shop. If she wanted to get a good price, she had to go to the county town. There was only a small clinic in the town, and she was afraid that it couldn't eat all these good things.

After bumping around for more than an hour, Gu Xixian finally arrived at the county town when he felt his butt had split into four pieces. The bustle of the county town was incomparable to that of the town.

There were more pedestrians on the road than in the town. Gu Lieqi hugged her daughter tightly, fearing that she would be squeezed by others. Gu Xixian carefully protected her small bag. The two came to the door of a medical clinic called "Renjitang" which was known for its reputation and reputation. Gu Xixian pulled his father and said, "Dad, put me down. Let's do what we agreed at home."

Gu Liqi nodded, carefully put the little girl on the ground, and took her little hand and walked into the clinic.

There were two doctors inside who were checking someone's pulse, and two boys were dispensing medicine at the counter next to them. When they saw the two people coming in, one of the boys came out and asked, "Are you here to see a doctor or to get medicine?"

"Young man, do you have ginseng for sale here?" Gu Liqi asked.

The boy at the counter glanced at him and said, "Yes, I wonder if you want it sliced ​​or whole?"

"What's the price for a piece of film? What's the price for a whole body?" Gu Liqi continued to ask, thinking that it would be better to find out more.

"That depends on the year." So the boy in charge of getting medicine introduced to him the different prices of ginseng of different years. The father and daughter listened carefully. After the customers who got medicine left, Gu Liqi lowered his voice and asked, "Excuse me, little brother, besides selling ginseng, do you also buy it?"

The boy looked him up and down, and said without saying much, "Please follow me to the back hall to talk to the shopkeeper."

"Thank you, young man." Gu Liqi thanked him quickly. He thought he would have to spend some more time talking to him. It seemed that people often came to sell medicinal herbs.

The father and daughter followed the boy to the back hall, where a middle-aged man with a beautiful beard was leisurely sipping tea. The boy bowed to him and said, "Master, this guest said he has some ginseng to sell."

He then introduced the father and daughter: "This is the owner and manager of our Renjitang. You can take your things out now."

Gu Xixian opened her bag, took out a clean white towel and spread it on the table beside her, then carefully took out the ginseng and ganoderma with intact roots and placed them on the table. She looked at the owner of the clinic as if unintentionally, and saw the flash of surprise in his eyes. She was secretly happy in her heart, thinking that her treasure would be worth a lot.

Lin Maoming put down the teacup in his hand and said, "It's in pretty good condition. I wonder what price you plan to sell it for?"

Gu Lieqi lowered her head and looked at her daughter. Gu Xixian was not afraid of the stage and said in a baby voice, "We have come all this way. Everyone says that Renjitang is honest. The shopkeeper gives us a price. If it is suitable, we will sell it. If it is not suitable, we will take a look again. We will not suffer a loss if we compare prices with three other shops."

After saying that, she stuck out her tongue and laughed.

"You are quite clever, little girl." Lin Maoming also laughed. He stood up and walked to the table to examine it carefully, then said, "Little girl, since you trust us so much, I will not cheat you. Your ginseng is of perfect quality and nearly a hundred years old. I will give you five hundred taels. This purple Ganoderma lucidum is also of top quality, but not rare, so I will give you one hundred taels. Little girl, are you going to compare prices with other vendors, or just sell it directly to Renjitang?"

Gu Xixian chuckled: "Of course I'll give it to the shopkeeper."

What a joke! This price was far beyond her psychological bottom line. She thought it would be at most 200 taels.
