Chapter 110 Sending Ginseng
Xia Yan smiled and refused, "It's okay, anyway, I've been collecting herbs everywhere, and I'm used to it. Auntie, I'll go back now, come back tomorrow, thank you for your warm hospitality, goodbye." Xia Yan stood up, Putting the pannier in the corner on his back, he gave Qiulin a deep look, and was about to push the door and leave.

"Brother Xia Yan, let me take you to the entrance of the village!" Qiulin Daci stood up, grabbed Xia Yan's sleeve without being refused, and pulled Xia Yan out of the house.Xia Yan is her savior, and now she is still going through a lot of trouble because of her mother's illness, so she naturally wants to treat him better.

Xia Yan let Qiulin drag him blankly, and Qiulin sent him to the entrance of the village, of course he couldn't wish for it!He stared at Qiulin's small hand wrapped around his big hand, holding it very naturally, without looking abrupt or weird at all.A self-evident sweetness crept into his heart quietly, and the corners of Xia Yan's mouth gradually rose, not hiding the joy in his heart.

The two went to the entrance of the village hand in hand like this. Xia Yan's eyes were on Qiu Lin's head along the way. There were several times when there was a puddle in front of him and he could step on it. Twice, he almost staggered and fell into the puddle. went.Cough, looking at Qiulin's face that turned from white to black, he really wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.What a shame!Watch the road, watch the road, and stop staring at Qiulin.Xia Yan's face was slightly red, and his head was buried deeply, but after a while, he couldn't help but catch the girl who led the way in front of him, and he became obsessed with watching, and accidentally stepped into a puddle in.

Hey, what a shame...

Qiulin suddenly remembered that there is a kind of person in modern times who has no sense of balance when walking, and always staggers. This Xia Yan can't be this kind of person, right?If Xia Yan heard Qiu Lin's slander, he would definitely vomit blood with anger.

"Okay, brother Xia Yan, I'll take you here, it's freezing cold, you have to be careful by yourself." The two had already reached the entrance of the village, Qiu Lin stopped and let go He raised his hand, turned sideways and smiled softly at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan looked at Qiu Lin who was smiling like a flower, and his heart swayed slightly, "Okay." Qiu Lin is really concerned about him!

Standing under the pear tree at the entrance of the village, Qiu Lin waved to Xia Yan who was fading away.After Xia Yan's figure completely disappeared before Qiu Lin's eyes, she lowered her already limp hands listlessly.This Xia Yan is really strange, after walking a short distance from the entrance of the village, he turned his head every three steps, smirked and waved, so that she kept raising her hand and didn't dare to let it go.How could she vaguely read a bit of reluctance from Xia Yan's behavior?

I must have read it wrong, didn't she meet Xia Yan for the first time, why would she be reluctant to part with someone she met for the first time?A gust of cold wind came, and Qiulin couldn't help shivering. The entrance of the village was not just a place where the wind blows, it was very cold.She hugged her two thin arms and hurried to the yard.It's so cold here, she doesn't want to stay longer.

Early the next morning, Xia Yan really came again.The Xu family had just eaten, and there was nothing to do in winter, so they gathered around the stove to warm up together.

At this time, there was a regular knock on the door.

This knock on the door was different from the hasty knock on the door by Tou Meixiang and the others in the village. In comparison, it seemed much more polite, and of course it seemed a lot more estranged.Qiu Lin tilted her head, brother Xia Yan is here, right?

She hurried over to open the door, and with a creaking sound, a gust of cold wind came in, Qiu Lin grinned and shivered, her big eyes narrowed, just in time to see Xia Yan, who was half a head taller than her, standing at the door of the main room in white.The delicate and handsome face did not appear to be in the dust, but stood there like a jade tree, like a piece of uncarved white jade without flaws.There was a serene smile on that fair face, and a pair of dark eyes looked extremely energetic, which made people stunned accidentally.

In the morning, there was fluff and light snow flying in the sky, and there was a vast expanse of white behind him, as if he was one with the world, and it was quite shocking in Qiulin's eyes.She was stunned, and then pulled Xia Yan out of the house involuntarily, muttering: "Brother Xia Yan came here so early, and it's still snowing today, come in and enjoy the fire to drive away the cold."

Qiu Lin grabbed Xia Yan's hand, and the tentacles were icy cold.This guy must have been frozen, right?Faced with such a conscientious doctor who came to see a doctor in snowy weather, Qiulin felt a little sorry for him.

This Xia Yan was so kind that he had nothing to say.

Because of the guilt towards him, Qiulin hurriedly volunteered to go to the kitchen and bring him a bowl of hot tea. "Brother Xia Yan, drink some tea first."

Xia Yan is very satisfied with Qiulin's hospitality to him. Although this kind of hospitality can't explain anything, it at least shows that Qiulin doesn't hate him.Xia Yan took the tea from Qiu Lin with a full smile. He was also chilled. It would take more than half an hour to get here from the town, even if he took a carriage. It is still snowing today, and the weather is even colder up.Walking all the way from the entrance of the village, it was so cold that his teeth were chattering up and down.

After drinking a bowl of hot tea, I really felt warmer all over.He politely returned the porcelain bowl to Qiulin, not forgetting the purpose of his coming here, "Aunt Han, I brought the herbs today." He opened a wooden box that he brought with him, and a stream of herbs The smell is tangy.

"This wrapped in straw paper is for you to boil and drink. Take it after meals, three times a day. After taking it for half a month, your cough will improve. This white root thing is used to nourish Aunt Han's body." Yes, just cut two pieces and put it down when the soup is stewed."

Looking at the medicinal materials in the wooden box, Mrs. Han slowly asked: "Is...is it very expensive, does it cost a lot of money?" I feel that the medicinal materials he brought are not cheap. The Han family can also identify some medicinal materials, but she doesn't know many of the medicinal materials that Xia Yan brought.

"It's not very expensive, but it's just some common medicinal materials. It's just that these medicinal materials are more common in the north, and we rarely see them in the south." Xia Yan explained in a light tone, signaling to reassure Han.

Qiu Lin just put the porcelain bowl and stepped in from the stove room, just in time to see the medicinal materials in the box.What is it that is white and fat, with a lot of beards, but ginseng?Qiulin's head froze. This ginseng is a good thing, but it also costs a lot of money, right?But Xia Yan said it's not expensive, isn't he talking nonsense with his eyes open?
"So that's how it is," Han said relieved, the money was saved with difficulty, and if the money for her own medical treatment was poured out, she would really be heartbroken. "Xia Yan, how much are these medicines, I'll get the money for you." Han Shi stood up, turned around and went to the east wing to get the money.

Xia Yan quickly waved his hands, pretending to be displeased and said: "Auntie, this medicinal material is not worth a lot of money, how can I ask for your money, I just have to eat it and your body will recover."

Qiulin was stunned again, what, free gift?That's ginseng!Qiu Lin stared at the things in the box with bright eyes, and her lips were involuntarily bitten by her upper teeth. Didn't Xia Yan suffer a lot?
Mrs. Han hesitated at first, she probably didn't expect Xia Yan to say this, and then she smiled, "How can you not need money when you open the door for business? Your medicine is also washed by the flood, even if it is worthless, there is still some money." , how can I not take your money?" Han Shi said and walked towards the east wing, and when he came out, he was holding a few pieces of silver in his hand, about five taels of silver.

"Hurry up and take it, this money is not much." Since Xia Yan didn't say how much, Han felt that it was too much for Xia Yan, and remembered Xia Yan's life-saving grace to Si'er yesterday, so she took more I stuffed it for Xia Yan.

Seeing her insistence, Xia Yan didn't refuse any more awkwardly.He smiled and said: "Then I won't shirk it anymore, just take this medicine and boil it slowly. My aunt usually eats more rock sugar pears. These are things that clear the lungs. For my aunt It is of great benefit.”

Dr. Sun also said this, and Mrs. Han really felt better after eating rock sugar pears. It seems that eating that thing is right.

With this matter over, Xia Yan has no reason to stay at Xu's house.He touched his nose dejectedly, and said in a low voice: "Since the medicinal materials have been delivered, I should go too. I hope my aunt's illness will recover as soon as possible."

Mrs. Han has always been warm to people. Hearing Xia Yan said that he was going to leave now, he hurriedly asked him to stay, "So soon? Why don't you wait until you have lunch at noon before leaving. It's so cold, so please take a walk. No matter what, I have to have a meal before leaving!" Let Xia Yan go away like this, I am really sorry.

Qiu Lin also reached out to hold him, and said seriously: "Yes, Brother Xia Yan, let's go after lunch. There is still Feixue Huazi outside. After eating, the whole body is warm, so you don't have to worry about the cold."

Parents didn't recognize what was in the box, but she looked carefully, what is it if it's not ginseng?This ginseng is very expensive even in modern times, not to mention the ancient times when there was no scale of production.That ginseng is even more difficult to find, right?Besides, this ginseng is white and fat, so it must be quite old, and the price is even more impressive.If people spend so much money on their family, she naturally has to treat them better.

This is simply a good person, much better than those non-profit organizations that hide their positions and behave respectfully.It's just that she was a little puzzled, if Xia Yan did business like this, all the money would go to other people's pockets, so how could he make any money?
This farewell, and not knowing when we will see each other again, Xia Yan was extremely reluctant to part, so when he heard Han's and Qiu Lin's words of persuasion, he nodded and agreed almost without hesitation.Seeing that the people in front of him were a little surprised, Xia Yan blushed a little, and said with a smile: "Then respect is worse than obedience." He couldn't wish for it.But this was too obvious. Thinking of the astonished expressions of those people just now, Xia Yan felt a little regretful.These few people wouldn't think that he was plotting something, he was clearly a decent citizen.
