Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 45: The Young Master of Ren Ai Tang

Lu Baoyin was in charge of the Jiangnan area, but after traveling all over Jiangnan, he only found a few ginsengs that were between sixty and seventy years old, which he sent back to Shangjing as fast as he could.

As for the hundred-year-old ginseng, I've never even heard of it.

Pengze County was the last stop of his search in Jiangnan.

Perhaps because he has seen so much disappointment along the way, Lu Baoyin is now much calmer.

As our ancestors said, do your best and leave the rest to fate.

Lu Baoyin stayed in the inner room for a while, then decided to wait for Manager Li to come back and tell him that they had to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Li came in and brought the young master and the young lady with him. He was a little confused.

Shopkeeper Li was so focused on the wild ginseng in his hand that he didn't notice the young master's expression at all.

"Young Master, look, what is this?"

As he said this, he carefully placed the wild ginseng on top. He had just taken a quick look and thought that this wild ginseng must be of quite a high age, so he excitedly called the Gu brothers and sisters to come to the young master's presence.

Now after placing it on the table, he took a further closer look and confirmed that it was indeed a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, the kind that the young master could not find anywhere!

Lu Baoyin was attracted by the solemn and excited expression of Manager Li, and then he noticed that what he was holding in his hand seemed to be wild ginseng?

Could it be?

Without having time to pay attention to the two people following behind him, Lu Baiyin also moved forward.

As the young master of a medical family, Lu Baiyin has been exposed to medicinal materials since he was a child and has some insight into them.

He also saw that this wild ginseng was of a high age, and its quality was definitely much better than the ginsengs that were sixty or seventy years old that he had found before.

He had never seen a hundred-year-old ginseng, but he had a feeling that this was it.

It turns out that the old monk was not lying, and the vitality of our ancestors was indeed in the south!

Soon, Shopkeeper Li's cheers confirmed his idea, "Young Master, this wild ginseng is over a hundred years old. According to me, it is about one hundred and ten years old."

Lu Baiyin's eyes suddenly shone brightly, "Is what Shopkeeper Li said true?"

"I can guarantee it! Moreover, based on my experience, the age may be even older." This was his conservative estimate. When he was young, he had seen ginseng that was more than a hundred years old, but in the past ten years or so, ginseng that is a hundred years old has become rare.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Lu Baoyin shouted "Okay" three times in a row.

Only then did he have the leisure to observe the two half-grown boys and girls who followed Shopkeeper Li in.

There is no doubt that this century-old wild ginseng was probably discovered by these two people.

Sure enough, Shopkeeper Li told him what he said next, "Young Master, this hundred-year-old mountain ginseng was brought here by this young man and young lady, take a look?"

Since the young master is here, of course he is the one who makes the decision.

Hundred-year-old wild ginseng is very rare. The medicinal effects of ginseng that is over a hundred years old are completely different from those of ginseng that is decades old. Even a one-year difference can make the difference. A hundred years is a watershed.

According to his usual estimation, this hundred-year-old ginseng would be worth at least more than one thousand taels. Now, the young master wants to use it as medicine for the ancestors of the Lu family, so the value must be even higher.

Lu Baiyin thought about it, then smiled and said sincerely to the brother and sister, "You two, this wild ginseng you brought is of great use to me. I wonder if you would like to give it to me?"

Gu Yan glanced at his sister, who smiled at him, and then nodded slightly to Lu Baiyin.

Lu Baiyin was overjoyed and asked gently, "I am the young master of Ren'ai Hall. My surname is Lu and my given name is Baiyin. May I know your surname, little brother?"

Gu Yan replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "No need to mention your surname, this is my sister."

"Brother Gu, young lady, let's put it this way. Let's not beat around the bush. I'll buy this wild ginseng for three thousand taels. What do you think?"

Three, three thousand taels?!

The other three people present were stunned for a moment.

Shopkeeper Li didn't expect the young master to offer such a high price all at once, but after thinking about it, he understood that for the Lu family, the amount of money is not a problem, the safety of the ancestors is above all else.

Gu Yan and his sister did not expect that the young master would be so frank and offered a price of three thousand taels right away.

With three thousand taels, how many fruits and mountain products would they have to sell?

Gu Yan actually didn't care how much money the young master could give, but a favor from the young manager of Ren'ai Hall was priceless.

Just as he was about to nod, he saw the young master speak again, "You two, in addition to the three thousand taels, Yin can also agree to three requests from you, as long as they are reasonable and do not violate the principles of our Ren'ai Hall."

This surprised Gu Yan. He didn't expect the young master to make such a promise. This was a promise made on behalf of Ren'aitang.

Shopkeeper Li was stunned. The young master was really sincere...

Did Lu Baoyin just bring it up casually?

Of course not. If it was anyone else, he would probably just give them some money to get rid of them. But he just saw the Gu siblings, who were very polite and tactful in their behavior. They didn't look like children that could be raised by an ordinary family at all.

Especially this young brother Gu, he will surely become a great man in the future. If he shows some goodwill in advance, it is not impossible for the Lu family to do it.

It's like a gamble. If you lose, it's fine. But if you win...

Gu Yan and Gu Qingzhi looked at each other and nodded to accept Lu Boyin's kindness. Although he might not be able to use it, the three words "Ren'aitang" alone carry enough weight.

Lu Baiyin took out a three thousand tael banknote from his pocket and handed it to Gu Yan, saying, "You two, there are elders in the Yin family waiting for this wild ginseng. Please forgive me for not being able to entertain you two. I will host a banquet to apologize when we meet next time."

Lu Baoyin rode back to Beijing at full speed, carrying the century-old ginseng that Manager Li had carefully packed in a box in his arms.

The Gu brothers and sisters also held hands and got on the ox cart that had been waiting outside the city gate.

The ox cart slowly drove towards Shengtangli. Gu Chen sent the brother and sister to the door of their home. "Uncle, there is no need to send you here. You can just let us get off at the entrance of the village. It's not far away."

Gu Yan said as he unloaded the things from the car.

Gu Chen shook his head, "You kid, it's not far." He saw clearly today that the kid from the Gu family had hooked up with a wealthy family in the county, and he might need to use his ox cart often in the future.

After Gu Yan moved the things in the car, he carried Gu Qingzhi down.

Gu Qingzhi patted the corners of his clothes. He had been sitting in the ox cart for an hour and felt very uncomfortable all over.

She took out an oil paper bag from the small cloth bag, took out a meat bun and a vegetarian bun and handed them to Gu Chen, "Uncle, take this back and eat it."

Gu Chen was confused. He couldn't bear to eat the steamed buns given to him in the morning and planned to take them back to feed his son at home. Why was he given them again?

He refused again and again, "No, no..."

Gu Wangshi, who heard the noise and came out, saw it and stepped forward and said, "Uncle, just take what Qing'er gave you. I may have to trouble you again in the future."
