The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 495: Who is the more prodigal to cherish (3)

Hearing this, Xiao Ruiyuan calmed down, picked up the wooden box and observed it carefully. After a while, he raised his head and said to Mo Yan: "This ginseng is rare in the world. It's the first time I've seen it. I'm not sure about the specific year! Can Yan'er let me take it back and ask the ghost doctor to take a look at it?" look?"

This ginseng was originally found for him, so Mo Yan would not refuse to agree: "Brother Xiao can just take it, but if it's not old enough, can Brother Xiao send it back as soon as possible?"

At this point, as if she was afraid that he would misunderstand, Mo Yan quickly recounted how he found the ginseng, covering up the matter related to space, and finally said: "That 'big black cat' may have become a spirit. , maybe there is a ginseng with a higher age hidden there. If this one is less than a thousand years old, I'll see if I can take it and exchange it with it."

Xiao Ruiyuan touched her head and said in a low and gentle voice, "Yan'er doesn't need to explain, I know!"

He never doubted Yan'er's intentions. Even if she really didn't want to give it out of selfishness, he wouldn't think she acted in a petty way. After all, even if this ginseng tree is less than a thousand years old, it is still a good thing that can kill someone at a critical moment. Even he would not take it out in vain to save an irrelevant person. Besides, Yan'er risked her life and paid a huge price to get this ginseng!

Thinking that there is a beast hidden in the deep mountains that makes all four beasts in awe. Although he doesn't know what kind of beast it is, Xiao Ruiyuan doesn't want his beloved woman to take risks again.

He looked at Mo Yan solemnly and said in an unprecedented stern tone: "Yan'er, the 'big black cat' you call is too dangerous. Even if it really has ginseng of a higher age, I will not I don’t want you to look for it again, do you understand?”

Mo Yan looked at him blankly, easily seeing the deep worry in his eyes. She nodded fiercely and said, "If this is a thousand-year-old ginseng, I will never go into the mountains to look for the 'big black cat' again."

Xiao Ruiyuan could not help frowning when he heard the underlying meaning of these words, and finally said helplessly: "If you really want to go into the mountain again, you must let me know first! Yan'er, promise me!"

Mo Yan couldn't refuse, not to mention that she was unlikely to find the 'big black cat' again, so why should anyone worry about her, so she agreed with a smile.

Xiao Ruiyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took another look at the ginseng on the table, and finally closed the wooden box full of expectation.

Last year, he received news about Millennium Ginseng. He secretly dispatched a large number of manpower to search for it, but nothing came of it. Later, when he wanted to go north to defend the enemy, he handed over the matter to Huaixi. Huaixi searched for several months, and it was not until recently that he discovered that this was just false news deliberately released by someone in order to test them. I just want to know if they have collected the detoxifying herbs and cured my cousin's illness.

If this ginseng is really a thousand-year-old ginseng, and the tortured cousin is about to recover, how can he not be excited?

Feeling Xiao Ruiyuan's joy, Mo Yan was also very happy, but when he thought that this man was also harmed by the heart-eating poison, and even almost died, and the only person who harmed him was King Kang, he was punished, and the others were still at large, he couldn't laugh. .

Seeing her frowning and angry look on her face, Xiao Ruiyuan held her hand and asked puzzledly: "Is there something bothering you?"

Mo Yan nodded honestly and said: "Brother Xiao, Prince Kang was deprived of the title of prince, demoted to a county king and imprisoned in the palace. He deserved it. However, he is not the only one who harmed you, but the others are still at large, enjoying the glory and wealth. , this is so unfair to you!"

Unexpectedly, she was complaining about herself. Xiao Ruiyuan felt this in his heart, but he didn't want to see her unhappy, so he comforted him: "Those people escaped on the surface, but the Holy Spirit will not just spare them. I will wait until I recover from my injuries." After returning to the court, there may be other arrangements, so don’t bother Yan’er!”

Although what he said was not very clear, Mo Yan understood it and finally felt a little more comforted, and continued to ask: "Who are the people who want to harm Brother Xiao? Has Brother Xiao found out? Has the heart-eating poison been found out? Who is responsible? Can we find evidence to bring this person down..."

Listening to her series of questions, Xiao Ruiyuan's lips curled up with a vague arc, and he answered patiently one by one without the slightest hint of impatience: "I almost know who they are, and I also have clues about the origin of the heart-eating poison. It’s just that we can’t be sure who did it for the time being. Now that we have clues, we’ll continue to investigate and we’ll find out over time…”

"Well, that's good...Brother Xiao should be more careful in the future. Although they are unlikely to assassinate you in the capital, they must also be on guard against them stumbling up and down the court to frame you..."

After knowing what she wanted to know, Mo Yan finally stopped asking endless questions, and gave careful instructions like an old lady. Then she gradually stopped talking when Xiao Ruiyuan responded with a smile.

It was a rare meeting, and they seemed to have found the thousand-year-old ginseng. Even those bad things had come to an end. The two of them were in a good mood, and they cuddled up next to the desk again, chatting about other things. Most of the time, Mo Yan was talking and Xiao Ruiyuan was listening. He would say a few words from time to time, but he always got to the point.

Xiao Ruiyuan became very interested when he learned that the stack of papers lying on the desk were the blueprints for building the winery. He picked up the blueprints and looked at them carefully. He looked at the ingenious designs on them and listened to Mo Yan's explanation. He was extremely surprised. , and there was a sense of pride in my heart.

However, this winery is obviously a very huge project. Leaving aside the thousands of acres of land, the cost of just building those houses is not a small amount. Where did Yan'er get so much money? Will it be difficult to build?

If he were an ordinary man, he would have shouted "a prodigal bitch" a long time ago, but Xiao Ruiyuan was worried that his beloved woman did not have enough money, and was silently calculating his own small treasury in his heart, hoping to use it all to fulfill her wish. , to be honest, I don’t know who is more prodigal!
