"Dick!"
Mr. Xu looked at the wild ginseng that Mr. Xu carefully dug out, not to mention how sad he felt. The whole family is not bad at luck, but the second child seems to have better luck.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Xu Laoer's face looked like a flower blooming, and he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
Just the wild ginseng tree he dug and sold in the city would cost at least a few dozen taels of silver. If you encounter something urgently needed, it won't be a problem to sell it for hundreds of taels of silver.
"Help me carry it!"
"I'm tired!"
Mr. Xu threw the pheasant in his hand in front of Mr. Xu.
"okay!"
Although Mr. and Mrs. Xu are a bit naive, their strength in arms definitely ranks first among the three brothers in the Xu family.
"Give me the ginseng!"
Watching Mr. Xu pick up the pheasant, Mr. Xu took the opportunity to take the wild ginseng from the hand of Mr. Xu.
Now that the family is not short of money, it would be nice to make this thing properly and keep it as an heirloom for the family to use.
Mr. Xu thought happily.
…
When the three of them returned to Lingshui Village, the old man, Ma Liuer, took off his coat, wrapped the eldest man's wild ginseng, and then, with a casual look, he took off the coat in his hands.
Such a large wild ginseng is really rare.
The so-called wealth is not revealed in vain.
This wild ginseng can also be regarded as a fortune, and it is a big fortune.
Although the folk customs in Lingshui Village are simple and honest, who can guarantee that no one will have bad intentions? Furthermore, once the villagers see this boss’s wild ginseng, they will definitely make noises everywhere.
When the time comes, if the news comes out, whether you keep this thing or sell it, it may attract the attention of interested people.
After entering the village, the three of them met a lot of villagers. These people were still envious when they saw the rabbits and pheasants that Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu were carrying in their hands.
However, Mr. Xu soon discovered that the focus of the villagers' attention did not seem to be on the three of them.
"Brother, go home quickly!"
The old man of the Yue family saw Mr. Xu and hurriedly greeted him, "Here comes another person from the county government!"
"What?!"
As soon as he heard what Mr. Yue said, Mr. Xu immediately called Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu and ran, rushing back to Lao Xu's house.
At this moment, outside the courtyard gate of Lao Xu's house, a man in gray robes was waiting there with a small team of government officials.
Muramasa Seki Lao Qi was talking to the man in gray robes with a smile on his face.
"I'm sorry. I just came back from the mountains. I'm so rude. I'm so rude!"
Mr. Xu hurriedly stepped forward and began to say hello from afar.
And when he saw the face of the man in gray robe, he almost threw away the coat in his hand.
Because this person is none other than County Magistrate Zuoqiu!
"The grass people have seen the adults!"
"Brother, no need to be polite."
Zuoqiu stepped forward and supported Mr. Xu, who was about to salute, "I am here in casual clothes, so I won't talk about this!"
"Thank you sir!"
Naturally, Mr. Xu would not be polite to Zuoqiu.
"I don't know if my lord is here today, but what orders do you have?"
"It's like this. You and your son have made great achievements. I have already written the memorial, but it will take some time for the reward from the court to come. I thought that if my brother is willing, I can help you in the county government. A subordinate’s errand!”
"Sir, you can't do this, you can't do it!"
Upon hearing Zuoqiu's words, Mr. Xu's head turned into a rattle.
An errand for a subordinate
In Mr. Xu’s opinion, it really doesn’t smell good! (End of chapter)
