Five hundred taels?

Nanzhi blinked in surprise.

Thinking back to the negotiation I had just had with the Tianhetang across the street, I had to spend so much time talking to get only two hundred taels.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Sure enough, there is no profiteering!

If the Tianhetang had really bought it for two hundred taels, wouldn't he have made hundreds of taels of money in tears and anger?

Seeing that Shopkeeper Xu was still staring at her eagerly, Nanzhi asked politely.

"Five hundred taels, can you earn it back? Don't lose it!"

"This ginseng is worth the price!"

Nanzhi said no more, took the silver note, and signed an external employment agreement with Manager Xu.

He looked out and found that the front hall was still crowded with spectators, so he left directly through the backyard.

He put the banknotes in the space, strolled around the market, and bought some new clothes for Yuan Mo.

Seeing that it was getting late, he turned back.

Nanzhi, who had no ox cart to ride, walked for half an hour before returning to Chenjiaao.

As soon as I entered the room, I collapsed on the bed.

"I'm so tired. I don't want to go out on the street anymore..."

After lying down for a long time, he came to the east bedroom to visit Yuan Mo.

Yuan Mo pursed his lips and watched her quietly take things out of the backpack.

Same again.

Clothes, lamp oil, cakes, and even sugar figures...

He was curious, how could such a small backpack hold so many things!

At least the pastries are wrapped in wax paper, but how do the sugar figures avoid staining clothes?

Nanzhi ignored Yuan Mo's curiosity and just handed the candy man to him.

"Here, this one for the big tiger is for you; the ones for the puppy and the wolf cub are for the two little ones..."

Yuan Mo took the sugar man in surprise and thought, why do you raise him like a child?

but……

The ones for Yuan Xi and Yuan Ye are wolf cubs and dog cubs?

He raised his eyebrows, trying to control himself and not think about "wicked heart and dog-hearted" or "wicked behavior".

He looked up at her and asked, "What about yours?"

Nanzhi raised his head and answered truthfully.

"I don't like candy, it's too sweet!"

Yuan Mo frowned slightly.

Here it is again...

he does not like.

He raised his hand and broke off the tiger's head.

The tiger body was handed to Nanzhi.

Nanzhi blinked and took it with a wry smile.

I was confused.

Yuan Mo he...

Did I misunderstand?

You don’t think she is reluctant to eat it!

She just thought it was fun and bought it as a novelty.

I really don't like eating such sweet things!

However, since Yuan Mo gave it to me, I’ll just take a sip.

So sweet!

Nanzhi took it away with disdain.

Thinking of the silver bills in the space, he sat down happily on the edge of the bed.

He took out the silver bill from his pocket and teased him on purpose.

"Yuan Mo, I don't recognize this, can you help me see what this is!"

Yuan Mo was very familiar with the hundred-liang silver note.

He took it in surprise and counted it.

Five hundred taels?

"Where did the money come from?"

Looking at the surprise and worry on Yuan Mo's face, Nanzhi burst out laughing.

What are you afraid of!

Could it be stolen?

“I sold a hundred-year-old ginseng.”

Yuan Mo frowned when he heard this.

He knew that Nanzhi could always come up with strange things, and he was no longer surprised.

But no matter how rare the century-old ginseng is, an ordinary clinic in Wutan County can never sell it at such a high price!

Nanzhi looked at the suspicion on his face and took out a better quality ginseng from the "backpack".

"Look, that's it!"

When the ginseng was taken out, even Yuan Mo, who had traveled all over the country for many years, was shocked.

The leaves of this ginseng are long and narrow, emerald green in color, and have a faint smell of freshness.

The root is fleshy and the light yellow ginseng body is as smooth as jade.

The ginseng roots are complicated and still have a thin layer of soil on them, but each root is intact without any damage!

Such a good quality century-old ginseng...

How do you keep it so fresh?

After seeing such ginseng, Yuan Mo no longer had any doubts.

He even felt that five hundred taels was too cheap!

If this kind of ginseng could be brought to Kyoto, it would be sold for at least a thousand taels!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

If he hadn't suffered this disaster, why would a woman like Nanzhi have to go out in public to discuss business...

Nanzhi failed to notice his silence.

Still excitedly imagining the future.

"Once this ginseng is sold, we can move to the town! This way we don't have to walk so long every time we buy something..."

go?

After years of doing business, Yuan Mo can always accurately capture key information.

Looking at her dusty shoes, he pursed his lips.

No wonder she came back so late today and was so tired that she lay down for a long time...

But why didn’t he take Zheng Youwen’s ox cart?

not……

Because of him?

After thinking it over, he asked softly:

"Why do you want to leave?"

Nanzhi tilted her head and spoke bluntly.

"Because you hate Zheng Youwen! As your wife, I naturally cannot have any contact with him anymore."

wife……

Yuan Mo's brows relaxed, and the tiny bits of light in his eyes slowly gathered.

Finally, it turned into a low laugh, breaking the casual chat between the two.

Nanzhi was surprised.

Did he laugh?

And laughed out loud?

This was the first time she saw him smile so easily!

She couldn't help but smile and pretend to be angry:

"What are you laughing at? Are you laughing at my childishness?"

It seems quite childish...

If I'm with you, I can't be with him anymore. This kind of plot...

Like a kindergarten kid!

"Then I was thinking, if he comes into the room to see you again under the pretext of sending me back, you'll be unhappy again! Okay, stop laughing at me!"

The more she explained, the more embarrassed she felt.

He raised his hand to cover Yuan Mo’s mouth.

Yuan Mo smiled faintly and tilted his head to avoid it.

Just laughing and joking like an ordinary couple.

Yuan Mo remembered this scene for decades...

So much so that, when he was old and dying, he still recalled that sunny afternoon...

For the first time, he and his beloved wife quarreled like an ordinary couple...

No mixed thoughts.

"Alright! Stop laughing!"

The playfulness ended with Nanzhi’s blushing face and pretended anger.

Yuan Mo coughed lightly to straighten his expression, cleared his throat, and said in a serious tone:

"That's not necessary... You pay the money, he does the work, it's just a business deal."

Nanzhi rolled her eyes at him and continued to tidy up the things piled on the bed.

"Okay! I get it!"

Only after everything was tidied did the blush on her cheeks disappear.

"what's for dinner?"

"Anything is OK."

Yuan Mo was still thinking about the joke he had just made and was flipping through a book to hide the throbbing in his heart.

Nanzhi glanced at the ginseng beside the bed and said casually:

"Then let's have ginseng chicken soup! It's very nutritious."

How generous.

Yuan Mo sighed in his heart, but did not stop it.

He never interferes with Nanzhi's decisions.

Knowing that she had enough money, he no longer stopped her from buying things for her.

If only she could bring one for herself, too!

Nanzhi put all the things in place and put the silver bills back into the space.

Then I heard Liu Daneng's mother, Old Lady Liu, knocking on the door.

"Is Miss Nanzhi at home?"

A girl from Nanzhi, not a wife from Dalang...

When Yuan Mo heard this name, his face darkened in displeasure.

His face returned to its usual indifference.

Nanzhi couldn't help but mutter in surprise:

"Eh? Why is she here? I'll go out and take a look."

"Ah."

Yuan Mo responded calmly.
