Marry the first wife

Chapter 126: Stinging people’s hearts

Fu Yao couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when she saw Shen Zhaoxian's depressed expression.

"It's okay, maybe I can find a century-old ginseng next time. The world is so big, I don't believe I can't even find a ginseng." She comforted in a low voice.

Shen Zhaoxian stared blankly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

Fu Yao looked at the hopeless place in front of her, and pulled Shen Zhaoxian towards the carriage. She came with hope and left with disappointment. Who was she talking about?

The two of them were walking back when they happened to meet Mrs. Wang's man who had just returned from working in the fields with a hoe. He was also the man who claimed to have dug out ginseng that was a century old.

"Who are you?" Wang Shu looked at Fu Yao and the blind Shen Zhaoxian at a loss.

When Mrs. Wang saw her man coming back from the fields, she immediately went up to him and told Fu Yao and the others clearly the cause and effect of their arrival.

Wang Shu nodded repeatedly, his eyes widened with surprise, and he strode forward to stop the two who were about to leave.

Fu Yao frowned and looked at the person blocking the road in confusion, feeling faintly angry.

The banker's Chinese characters have stayed in the ground all year round, and his face is a bit more honest. Wang Shu scratched the back of his head slightly uncomfortably, and said with a naive laugh: "It turns out that the two of you are here to buy the century-old ginseng. Please come in."

With that said, he repeatedly shouted at Madam Wang to invite Fu Yao and the others into the house.

After hearing these words, Fu Yao folded her arms for a while, a hint of confusion slowly appeared in her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "We just heard from your wife that the century-old ginseng in the family is just growing very well, and it is not a century-old ginseng at all. .”

His eyes fell on the arm that was stopping her and Shen Zhaoxian from moving forward. Instead of being angry, he smiled and said, "What do you mean?"

An abnormal blush appeared on Wang Shu's dark face, and his expression was quite sincere. "My dear, my ginseng is definitely a century-old ginseng, not the ginseng that the quack doctor said is good-growing."

Wang Shu took a step back and motioned for Fu Yao and the others to go in before saying, "We are all here. If we don't see with our own eyes whether the ginseng is a century-old ginseng, wouldn't it be a loss?"

Hearing this, Fu Yao's eyebrows moved slightly, and she quickly pursed her lips and smiled, "Indeed, we want to see what your ginseng looks like?"

She had always had a question in her mind about this century-old ginseng. Although she didn't know what the century-old ginseng looked like, she wanted to see it for herself.

Whether some news is groundless or not needs to be proven by oneself.

Shen Zhaoxian pursed his lips, pulled Miss Xu's sleeves along the sleeves where they were touching, and whispered: "Miss Xu, should we go back?"

He believed in the correct judgment of a doctor more than a farmer who plowed the fields all year round without knowing the science of medicine.

Fu Yao glanced at Wang Shu, pulled Shen Zhaoxian to the side, leaned forward slightly and leaned against his ear, "It's not a bad idea if we go and see what the legendary ginseng looks like?"

"And don't you want to know how that ginseng grows? It doesn't look much different from a century-old ginseng?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Zhaoxian burst into laughter, "That's what Miss Xu said."

The two returned to Wang Shu again and said with a smile: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Wang Shu led the two of them through the door and went straight into the house. His honest and honest face revealed a vicious expression when he saw Madam Wang, and he took the opportunity to glare at Madam Wang.

Madam Wang shook her body and followed her husband, when she heard a voice coming from in front of her, "Madam, why don't you quickly serve tea to these two distinguished guests?" Before she could finish her words, Madam Wang turned a corner and headed straight towards the kitchen. go.

Not long after, Lady Wang held two cups of hot tea in her hands. Perhaps ginseng had become famous in the past century, and good cups were prepared at home. The teacups were placed on the left and right of the two of them. Fu Yao picked up the teacups and saw the faint fragrance of tea. Her smiling eyes fell on the cup and she frowned slightly before taking a sip of tea.

"Now can we take a look at the century-old ginseng?" Fu Yao said.

Wang Shu nodded and glanced at his son who was standing aside obediently. His son turned around and walked towards the house.

Seeing this scene, Fu Yao couldn't help but laugh secretly. The father naturally had an innate suppression of his son, and it was the same for everyone.

However, the mother and son of the Wang family were more afraid of their father, Wang Shu, than she imagined.

"Look, this is a century-old ginseng." As he said this, Wang Shu carefully placed the box containing ginseng in front of Fu Yao, for fear of bumping it.

She just took one look and smiled. Wild people have long whiskers, old and tough, tawny old skin, tight and shiny texture, and there are fine, deep screw-like horizontal stripes on the upper ends of the hair roots.

This ginseng all matches the appearance of wild ginseng, except that it does not match the appearance of century-old ginseng.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered: "Uncle, I respect you as an elder. This ginseng is clearly a wild ginseng. Where is the century-old ginseng I am looking for?"

Obviously, Wang Shu also knew this.

However, as the owner who dug up the 'Century Ginseng', he cried uncontrollably and said with a wry smile: "I was wrong, but this ginseng looks good, so you can just accept this ginseng."

Their family has been farming for generations. No matter how wealthy their family is, they can barely manage food and clothing.

I don't know where the rumor came out that there was a century-old ginseng in my family. One after another, people came to ask and take a look. Not to mention how much money a pair of good tea cups cost, they just said that the tea bill these days has already exceeded their family's expenses. half a year's expenses.

······
There was the sound of gongs and gongs in her ears. Fu Yao looked at the wild ginseng placed aside with an expressionless face, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"Hey, did I lose money?"

Fu Yao took a long breath and couldn't help complaining. Just now Wang Shu burst into tears and told about the pain of these days, with runny nose and tears.

She relented and bought it on the spot. The price, of course, was a bit of a loss, but it wasn't her who lost it, Wang Shu was selling it at a low price.

"Miss Xu feels that she is at a loss, so she can just sell it to someone else." Shen Zhaoxian laughed softly.

Although he couldn't see his eyes, he didn't need to think about it to know that Miss Xu must have drooped eyebrows, dejected, and an unhappy look on her face.

Fu Yao took another look at the ginseng and comforted herself: "Actually, we are not at a loss. We bought a wild ginseng at the lowest price. It cannot be used as a century-old ginseng, but it can also replenish your body, right?"

Having said this, Shen Zhaoxian not only lowered his head, but also blocked Fu Yao's view of him.

He said calmly: "Thank you, Miss Xu."

Fu Yao held her plump and smooth forehead with her left hand and couldn't help frowning. Why did she say this? Isn't this heartbreaking?

"It's okay, you didn't bother me."
