Lifting the blue cloth covering the bamboo basket, I saw more than twenty eggs neatly placed in the small bamboo basket.
"I can't accept this." Wei Lan pushed the bamboo basket back to the old lady, "This is too expensive."
"They are all laid by our own hens. They are not expensive." The old lady refused to accept the charge. "You saved my son's life, but you didn't even confiscate the medicine money. What are these eggs worth? If Doctor Wei doesn't accept them, he will You look down on me, an old woman."
Wei Lan had no choice but to accept it, and the old lady left with satisfaction.
"Do you feel weird?" Wei Lan asked Ye Wuji.
Ye Wuji nodded and said: "It's just a few eggs, just take them. Why does senior brother say they are very expensive?"
"We think it's just a few eggs, but the money we get from these eggs is enough to feed the old lady's family for a month."
Ye Wuji said in surprise: "Impossible? How much money can I exchange for a few ordinary eggs?"
"You, you have to know how much suffering there is in this world." Wei Lan returned to Tongji Pharmacy with the basket of eggs and asked, "You haven't had lunch yet, have you?"
"What kind of lunch are you using? Senior brother, come back to the village with me quickly!" Ye Wuji grabbed Wei Lan's sleeve and said.
"Don't worry, no matter what, we'll talk about it after dinner." Wei Lan took out his sleeves and said with a smile, "Besides, I already knew what you were worried about."
"You know?" Ye Wuji was stunned.
"Master has written to me a long time ago. You can live here with peace of mind and leave the affairs of the villa alone."
"What's going on?" Ye Wuji asked.
But Wei Lan smiled and talked about him.
"Aunt Chang, take these eggs and stir-fry some vegetables. Add more pepper and chili. My junior sister loves spicy food."
"Hey, senior brother! Senior brother!" Ye Wuji chased Wei Lan to the backyard. The courtyard was filled with all kinds of medicinal materials. There was a little girl about two or three years old squatting in front of the medicinal materials, muttering the name of the medicine. .
"Yao'er." Wei Lan squatted down and opened his arms towards the little girl.
"Daddy!" The little girl ran over happily and threw herself into Wei Lan's arms like a baby swallow throwing herself into the forest.
"Are you good Yao'er today?" Wei Lan picked up the little girl and asked lovingly.
"Yao'er is so good. I recognized twelve kinds of medicinal materials today."
Ye Wuji was stunned and asked: "Senior brother, this, is this your daughter?"
"Come on, Yao'er, this is your thirteenth aunt." Wei Lan pointed at Ye Wuji and said.
Yao'er was very polite and said in a sweet voice: "Hello, aunt, I am Yao'er, Wei Yao'er, I am 4 years old this year!"
"Hello Yao'er." Ye Wuji hurriedly took out his purse. There were only a few pieces of silver in it, nothing suitable as a greeting gift for a child.
"Sorry, Yao'er, I was in a hurry this time. I'll give you a replacement gift next time."
Yao'er nodded obediently and said, "Thank you, auntie, Yao'er doesn't want any gifts."
Wei Lan hugged Yao'er for a while, put Yao'er down and said, "Yao'er goes to play elsewhere. Daddy and your Thirteenth Aunt have something to say."
When Yao'er walked away, Ye Wuji grabbed Wei Lan's collar and said, "Okay, third senior brother, we haven't seen each other for a year, how could you have such a big daughter! Are you worthy of fifth senior brother!"
"Where are you thinking?" Wei Lan opened her hand in confusion, "Yao'er was adopted by me. Her mother was a patient of mine and her father passed away long ago. I think she is pitiful, well-behaved and sensible. , and then adopted her as an adopted daughter."
"So that's it." Ye Wuji breathed a sigh of relief.
"Besides, what does this have to do with Yao Pei? How can I feel sorry for him?"
Ye Wuji chuckled lightly and said, "Third Senior Brother, do you think there are a few people in our village who don't know about your relationship with Fifth Senior Brother?"
"Impossible!" Wei Lan denied it, then realized that he had made a mistake and quickly added, "What do you know! What kind of relationship do I have with Yao Pei? It's not just an ordinary relationship between senior fellow apprentices."
"Come on, you're just a junior fellow apprentice, but Master has prepared a dowry for you."
"What?!" Wei Lan's expression completely changed.
"I lied to you!" Ye Wuji burst out laughing, "Master will not care about these things. I also heard what Senior Brother Shen said."
"That brat Shen Yuxuan!" Wei Lan gritted her teeth, "He talks nonsense all day long. Next time I see him, I have to teach him a lesson!"
"Senior Brother, who do you want to teach a lesson?" A gentle voice came from outside the door, and a man in white clothes came slowly, swinging a folding fan. He was tall and handsome, like a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River. He had a pair of romantic peach blossom eyes and walked gracefully, as if he were meeting a beautiful woman in the apricot blossoms in the spring rain. He looked at Wei Lan with tenderness and caress in his eyes.
"Fifth Senior Brother." Ye Wuji bowed to Yao Pei in a polite manner. Among her senior brothers, Fifth Senior Brother Yao Pei seemed to be the weakest and harmless, but he was the one whom Ye Wuji dared not offend the most.
When Ye Wuji was still ignorant, she provoked Yao Pei several times. In the end, she was the one who was unlucky, while Yao Pei stayed out of the matter.
"Little junior sister, why did you come to this stone city today?" Yao Pei said with a smile, "Are you here to congratulate me on my move to a new house?"
