Ruins of the past

Seeing that Chu Qiguang refused to accept the money, Wang Chengwang wanted to persuade him again, but he saw Chu Qiguang looked at Butler Wang and said, "You go out first, I have something to discuss with your master in secret."

Wang Chengwang nodded towards the housekeeper, so the housekeeper had no choice but to retreat, leaving only the three of them present.

Wang Cailiang spoke first: "Dad, my illness..."

At that moment, Wang Cailiang told him that his illness was not completely cured and he still needed dog treatment on Tuesday. Just now, he just made an appointment with Tuesday Dog to come out to calm people's minds.

Wang Chengwang nodded after listening: "You did the right thing."

So Wang Chengwang asked again how to treat the disease next.

Chu Qiguang said: "From now on, I will come to treat the prince's illness, but I am still busy with the food tax recently..."

Wang Chengwang understood what the other party meant, waved his hand, and said immediately: "I have asked the housekeeper about the food tax, and it is because Mr. Accountant misrecorded the account. In fact, it is not your family's turn to pay it back, nephew Zhou Xian."

He said angrily: "I asked Wang Zhong (Steward Wang) to take care of this matter early in the morning. Why didn't he go? This guy must have been cheating again. I'll let him go soon." Get things done.”

Chu Qiguang added: "I still have to take care of the farm work at home..."

Wang Chengwang also understood now that the other party might not have refused to accept the money just now, but that he thought the money was not enough.

Wang Chengwang thought for a while and said: "I just want to have more land. Why don't my nephew rent me five acres of land at home... I will pay five taels of silver per year regardless of good or bad years. As long as I have One day, this land rent will never be cut off."

Chu Qiguang wondered: "That's it?"

Wang Chengwang said: "Fifty taels of silver is far higher than the market price."

Chu Qiguang sighed: "You don't know something, Mr. Wang. It's not that I don't want to rent it to you. It's mainly because my sister likes farming."

Wang Chengwang was stunned.

Chu Qiguang continued: "Because my family has been a farming and studying family for generations, it requires that every generation of descendants must work in the fields and farm. It has been passed down to me for the 18th generation. If it ends here, I will have the face to meet my ancestors." Liezong?"

"If I rent out the land now, I'm afraid my mother will say I'm unfilial."

Wang Chengwang almost couldn't help but cursed after hearing this, but who asked him to ask for help from others? The other party brought out the word "filial piety". The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, which was related to morality and ethics. Unfilial piety was a serious crime.

Seeing that Wang Chengwang stopped talking, Chu Qiguang immediately said angrily: "Master Wang! Do you think I am asking for money from you?"

'do not you? ’ Wang Chengwang blinked and thought to himself, had he just misunderstood the other party? Is the other party really a chivalrous person who doesn't love gold and silver and is filial to the world? That's great...

Chu Qiguang on the other side turned around and was about to leave: "I only want to save Mr. Wang, how can Mr. Wang use gold and silver to humiliate me?"

Wang Cailiang on the side was startled, but he pointed at Tuesday Dog to treat him, and immediately rushed forward to stop Tuesday Dog who was about to leave.

Wang Cailiang: "Brother Zhou! My father is a common man who smells like copper. Don't be the same as him."

Wang Chengwang nodded: "Yes, yes, I am just a layman. If I don't mention money, I won't mention money anymore."

Wang Cailiang stretched out his hand to pull Chu Qiguang back, but found that with a gentle pull, the other party had already returned to his original position.

Chu Qiguang continued: "Master Wang, please don't mention money to me again. I never save people for money. What I hate most in my life is money."

Wang Chengwang nodded repeatedly and said yes. Of course he agreed with both hands if the money could be waived.

Chu Qiguang continued: "I will still come to the house to treat the prince's illness in the future. However, the remaining poison in his body has not been cleared away, and he needs to refine some more elixirs to match."

Wang Chengwang: "What medicinal materials are needed? I will immediately send someone to the county to buy them."

Chu Qiguang shook his head: "The medicinal materials needed to treat dog ghost poison cannot be bought in ordinary drug stores. But fortunately, I have prepared most of the medicinal materials such as fairy beans, blood bodhi, and seven-star begonia. There is no melatonin on hand now.”

Wang Chengwang and his son listened blankly to the list of drug names, but they had never heard of any of them. Finally, they asked: "What is melatonin? And where can I find it?"

Chu Qiguang: "This melatonin is made from the stalactites in the Feng Shui auspicious points that have collected the essence of the underground spiritual fluid bit by bit over thousands of years. You should also know that such a treasure from the world must be in your hands. In the hands of some big forces.”

"Everyone knows everything about this kind of thing. If you don't understand, I won't explain much. After all, there is no benefit in knowing too much. Don't ask me about the specific situation. There are too many interests involved. Just pretend you don't know. The rest. I can only say that the water here is very deep and involves many things. Most of the information has been blocked. It is difficult for you to understand the details yourself, so I can only say that I understand everything."

Listening to Chu Qiguang's words, Wang Chengwang and his son felt that it was unfathomable, and they had various speculations about the identity of the other master.

Chu Qiguang continued: "But you don't have to worry. With my master's reputation, you can buy this thing with money."

Wang Cailiang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked: "How much silver do you want?"

Chu Qiguang said: "To cure the residual poison on your body, it will take about three hundred taels of melatonin."

Wang Chengwang was surprised: "You want so much money?"

You must know that the Wang family only earns thousands of taels of silver a year. After excluding the various expenses of the master, wife, young master and young lady, as well as the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the maids and servants, as well as various rewards, management inside and outside the county, all At the end of the year, there are only 100 or 200 taels left.

Chu Qiguang said: "This is already very cheap. If it weren't for Master's respect, no matter how much money you have, you wouldn't be able to buy it. Although I treat you for free, you still have to pay for the medicine yourself."

Wang Cailiang: "This is natural."

Wang Cailiang naturally agreed completely, but because three hundred taels of silver were involved, his father Wang Chengwang did not say anything.

Chu Qi could tell at just one glance that the old landowner was worried about the money. The other party was a standard landlord in the feudal era. He wanted to exploit even the few taels of silver from Ergou's family. Three hundred taels of silver would definitely make the other party feel very voluptuous. pain.

So Chu Qiguang looked at Wang Cailiang and said: "The residual poison of the dog ghost is not clear, and it may worsen at any time. If you have the money ready, send it to me as soon as possible. Don't delay and miss the best treatment." Date, by which time the person will be useless.”

"Dad!" Wang Cailiang looked at his father and urged, "What are you still hesitating about? I am the only child in our family! You are the only son. If I die, you will have no heirs!"
