Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes
Chapter 45 Red Dates
Come out from Baisuifang.
When he walked out of Baisui Square, he looked at his assets that had shrunk again and secretly clenched his fists:
"One hundred and sixty taels of silver. I spent 160,000 in one day. I wouldn't have dared to think about it in my previous life. It really hurts my body... I'd better buy the stick-shaped weapon after a while."
I paid a deposit of sixty taels just to buy an ape, and I would have to spend another sixty taels later.
Including what was needed to complete the second picture, one hundred and sixty taels of silver were spent in one day.
Funds have shrunk by half.
And he heard that a good weapon was worth a lot of money. It would be too insecure to spend it all at once and be penniless.
Chen Ku felt miserable in his heart. Half of his money was earned through hard work in the middle of the night collecting herbs. Although everything was for cultivation, he couldn't help but feel sad.
"I'm still too poor... I have to learn prescriptions and elixirs quickly and broaden my ways of making money. Otherwise, I can't keep up with the rising consumption level."
With this in mind.
Chen Ku turned back towards Yaowang Hall.
Prescriptions, elixirs.
These are the fundamental life of Yaowangtang, and some are even more valuable and important than the inheritance of martial arts.
Martial arts may be taught to the children of other families, but the lifeblood of Yaowangtang, the ‘prescriptions’ and ‘prescriptions’, will never be passed on easily.
Only disciples can pass it on.
What is a disciple?
That is the father and son, the master and apprentice, the ones who inherit the craftsmanship, and the ones who will inherit a part of the ancestral inheritance of Yaowangtang in the future.
Therefore, there are so many clerks and apprentices in Yaowangtang, but there are very few disciples.
A master is only allowed to have one or two disciples at most, not too many.
In other words, if you become a disciple of Yaowangtang, you will be 60 to 70% sure that you will inherit the status of a certain master.
…………
At the entrance of Yaowang Hall, Wu Gui was still working in the front hall as usual today. He saw Chen Ku coming from across the street from a distance and hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother Chen, your family came to look for you in the hall and left some things under the cabinet at the front desk."
When Chen Ku heard this, he was slightly stunned.
"My family?"
Then, after listening to Wu Gui's description, Chen Ku knew who it was.
"Did my mother and sister-in-law come here?" Chen Ku asked quickly.
Immediately worried, the county town is forty or fifty miles away from the village. How could the two women and children dare to run so far without fear of something happening on the road?
Wu Gui seemed to know Chen Ku's worry, and quickly told him: "Auntie and that Mrs. Chen were afraid that you would be worried, so they asked me to tell you that they came to the city with the wood-purchasing truck from your village, and they originally wanted to see you. On the other hand, after waiting in the hall for half a quarter of an hour, I said you would be back soon, but they seemed to be catching up with the ox cart going back to the village. They couldn't wait long and left early. "
Chen Ku was silent.
Cart for purchasing lumber.
Most likely, Mr. Guo's family's house needed to be repaired and they came to the county town to buy wood. My mother and sister-in-law hadn't seen me for more than a month, so they wanted to follow me and have a look.
As a result, it happened that he was not in the hall.
Just missed it.
"Did they leave any other words?" Chen Kulian asked.
"Well, I left something for Brother Chen."
Wu Gui quickly took out a big bag from under the medicine hall cabinet:
"They said these are the dates and walnuts harvested from the jujube trees in your field this year. They brought two portions, one for you and one for your sister. They were too late to catch the car and wanted to go back. I hope you can Bring it to your sister."
Open the package and look at the dates and walnuts in the package.
This originally belonged to my family's land, but later it no longer belonged to my family, and the few walnut trees and jujube trees in the land became the property of Squire Guo's family.
Now we have to return to the land and return to the tree. It is almost September or October, the season when walnuts and red dates are ripe. When I fell down, I immediately thought of sending it to myself and my sister in the county.
Chen Ku felt a little sour in his heart.
This kind of simple family affection is instinctive in every world.
"Well, thank you Brother Wu for passing on the message. Let's go out for a meal together after work tonight."
Chen Ku handed Wu Gui, who was passing on the message, and said sincerely: "When I entered the hall, I said I wanted to treat Brother Wu to dinner."
Wu Gui looked slightly happy.
He didn't expect that Chen Ku would become an apprentice, and now his status in the hall would be higher than his own, and he would be willing to make friends with him. It was fitting that he went to receive the old mother when the other clerks were unwilling to start a fight. .
In the evening, after Chen Ku finished work, he treated his 'guide' to the Medicine King Hall to a feast.
After having enough wine and food, Wu Gui looked slightly drunk and said to Chen Ku:
"Brother Chen, I am not wrong about you. You will definitely become a master in our hall in the future, but I have no hope. I will probably only be a buddy for the rest of my life."
"Wait until I promote you."
When Chen Ku spoke, he was not pretending to be anything in front of Wu Gui and was sincere.
The two clinked their glasses together.
Because they had to go to work tomorrow, he and Wu Guidu didn't drink too much.
After Chen Ku and Wu Gui returned to Yaowang Hall, they looked at the two packages of red dates and walnuts.
Thinking of my mother's instructions.
The next day, I took advantage of my break from work at noon, and finally divided it into two parts, packed them up, and walked out of Yaowangtang. I bought a few boxes of snacks on the way, carried them all together, and headed towards my sister and brother-in-law’s house. Walked over.
He had to convey the old man's wishes no matter what.
Li Yuancheng's family is in the inner city. After all, he is a fast-shift policeman. He has been a deputy policeman for three years and has some assets. Otherwise, his sister would not be able to secretly support their family.
There are more than twenty families living in a certain alley in the inner city. One of the courtyards is my sister's house, but there are not only my sister's family living there, but also other people.
When Chen Ku came to the yard, a woman with a loud voice asked him who he was looking for. When Chen Ku explained his identity.
After a while, the woman with such a loud voice shouted that the whole yard could hear:
"Sister from Agent Li's family, your brother is here to see you. Come out and pick him up quickly."
Hearing the sound, a woman in plain blue came out from the kitchen of the three large tile-roofed houses on the east side of the yard. She looked to be in her mid-twenties, and was a bit prettier than his sister-in-law.
"sister."
When the woman walked out of the kitchen, she saw the tall, handsome young man in the yard shouting to her.
Her eyes immediately turned red, and she quickly stepped forward and slapped Chen Ku, her voice filled with excitement:
"You didn't even say a word when you came, why did you kid come to the city? Did you come here on foot? Are you tired from the journey..."
After asking, I felt something was wrong and looked at the clothes my brother was wearing.
"Sister, I'm in the city now."
Chen Ku felt a trace of guilt in his heart for some reason, as he had never come to see his sister.
He slowly dug up the treasure grass and changed his life with his family. Now he has more than twenty acres of land. He told everything about his current apprenticeship at the Yaowang Hall in the county.
The eldest sister immediately covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes:
"...Really? Medicine King Hall? Apprentice? Are you not lying to me?"
"Well, my mother came to the city from the country today, but I didn't see her. She took her to Yaowangtang and asked me to give you some..." Chen Ku took out the red dates and walnuts.
The eldest sister looked at the snacks other than bitter walnuts and red dates. She felt even more distressed and slapped her younger brother on the shoulder with her palm:
"You're an apprentice and you don't even get paid. Why do you buy these?"
After saying that, he pulled Chen Ku into the house and choked up again: "Your brother-in-law is working as an errand at the Yamen. He suffered a knife wound two days ago. I asked him to rest but he refused. He won't come back until night..."
Chen Ku couldn't help but think of the scene where Li Yuancheng and Ni Kun fought from the perspective of Xiu Quan.
It seems that in addition to the sweat medicine, Li Yuancheng did have a blood stain on his chest.
"Brother-in-law, it doesn't matter..."
Chen Kuzheng said.
[Someone named Ni Kun has unfavorable thoughts towards the owner of the picture...]
Saw this line of text.
Subconsciously, he turned on the thin dog transformation, and then his expression changed drastically:
"Ni Kun, are you nearby?!"
