Chapter 189 Old Mountain Ginseng

Ren Qi?Luo Tian felt that the name sounded familiar. After thinking about it, he couldn't remember who it was. She couldn't remember people's faces and names. In the end, it was Fang who recalled: "The last time we were robbed in Shangyuan Temple. , isn’t it the little general Ren who sent it back?”

It was only then that Luo Tiandu suddenly realized, she just said, this Ren Qi met once in total, and he said very little, it's understandable that she didn't remember it for a while.

Luo Tiandu asked Xiang Lan again: "What about others?"

"After he delivered the box, he left." Xiang Lan still had some palpitations about the emperor's number one thug. Seeing that Ren Qi left quickly, she actually felt a sense of relief in her heart.

"Oh." Luo Tiandu opened the wooden box and took a look, there was something wrapped in rice paper inside, and a layer of stones was sprinkled under the box, and it was covered with lime powder.

"What is this?" Fang came over curiously to have a look.

Luo Tiandu took it out, uncovered the piece of paper, and found that it was actually an old ginseng.Because she was worried about Fang's old age and the danger of giving birth in the future, she also went to many drugstores these days, and bought half a ginseng back for storage in case of emergencies.The ginseng she bought was only ten years old, and the pharmacy cost eight taels of silver, and the half of ginseng cost dozens of taels. The old wild ginseng sent by Wei Que cost a few dozen at least. It's been a year, and the price is not to mention sky-high, it's not much different, it's still the kind that has a price but no market.

Fang was also taken aback: "Oh, this old mountain ginseng is at least 80 to [-] years old, and it has grown so thick."

Luo Tian felt that his own knowledge was inferior to that of Fang's in this area, so he responded vaguely, "Well, almost, I don't know, mother, just say so."

She hadn't figured out why Wei Que sent such a valuable ginseng to her home, she heard a "snap", Fang closed the box back, let Xiang Lan back out, and looked at her seriously : "Xiaodu, tell mother honestly, what is going on between you and Mr. Wei?"

Luo Tian was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "What's the matter between Master Wei and I?" Wei Que is a powerful minister, she is just the daughter of a small author, what can they do?

Seeing her expression, Fang felt irritable again. Finally, she thought that there was still one in her stomach. Last time the doctor told her to relax and not to get angry, so she took a deep breath and finally calmed down. He softened his tone and said, "I'm your mother, can't you tell me what's on your mind?"

Luo Tian was a little confused: "What's on my mind? I'm just thinking about how to earn more money for the family, so that even if Dad doesn't become an official in the future, we can live a more comfortable life."

Luo Tian is always focused on earning more money for the family. In the past, Fang only thought that the child was very caring, but now that he heard it in his ears, he didn't know whether it was because of pregnancy, a bad temper or something. Feeling that the child was joking around, he was also a little unhappy: "Then tell me, it's very nice, why did Mr. Wei send such a valuable thing to our house?"

"How do I know? You have to go to Master Wei to find out about this." Luo Tian was also a little guilty of Wei Que's overtures. Although she was sure that Wei Que was in contact with her family, it was probably because of Fa Hua. However, it is not easy to talk about this matter with outsiders, especially Fang Shi, otherwise she doesn't know what to worry about.

Fang was at a loss for words for a while, even if she had ten courages, she would not dare to run in front of Wei Que, and asked him: "You are fine, why are you sending things to our house?" Isn't that obviously offending someone!

Luo Tian didn't feel comfortable talking to Fang about the grievances, so he could only comfort her with words: "Maybe it's because he is on good terms with my father, my father has a good temper and is kind to others, Master Wei is probably looking at my father's face, Just take care of our family a lot. Mother, you are pregnant with a child now, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you have that leisure, why not think about what you want to eat at noon today, and tell me when you think about it, and I’ll go cook. "

In the past, if Luo Tian had been persuading her like this, Fang would have laughed at her persuasion. It was only General Fang who had mentioned Wei Que, but Wei Que sent ginseng over. She became very suspicious. There is no way to cancel it.She wasn't worried about Luo Tiandu's affair with Wei Que where she couldn't see it, she was simply worried about Luo Tiandu, afraid that she would be tempted by an outstanding man at a young age, and would suffer in the future.

Fang has little knowledge, but her biggest advantage is her duty. She never cared about things that she couldn't reach, such as power, or a son-in-law like Wei Que. She didn't even want to think about it.She has already made up her mind. In the future, she will find a small family with a similar family background as hers. The parents-in-law have a good temper, and they will be married to Luo Tiandu, and they will live happily ever after. After becoming officials, the couple of them will go back to the countryside and plant two acres of land to live their own lives. If Luo Mingdu and Luo Tiandu have children in the future, and the family is short of staff, she will take over the children and help them take care of them for a few years. , When the child grows up, it will be fine to send it back or study or learn to do something else.

But Wei Que?She didn't think about it at all.

Seeing Fang's silence for a long time, Luo Tian said, "Mother, don't worry, I really have nothing to do with Master Wei, don't worry, I will ask Zishu to take this ginseng back to Master Wei." She I didn't even think about taking it. This ginseng is not as expensive as the wooden sign sent last time, and she felt a little hot to keep it.

Hearing this, Mrs. Fang felt a little relieved. Knowing that Luo Tiandu didn't have any thoughts, Fang said: "It's just like this. People who eat people are soft-spoken, have short hands, and have no relatives. If others send things over, we can If you don't accept it, don't accept it, so as not to bring trouble to your father."

"That's right, mother is wise." Seeing that Fang's tone softened, Luo Tian took the opportunity to flatter him a few more times, and finally coaxed a smile on Fang's face.

"Hey, I didn't mean to lose my temper with you. I'm just worried about you. You are stubborn, and sometimes you don't listen to persuasion. I'm afraid that you will lose your mind and suffer in the future."

"I know you're doing it for my own good, and I understand." Luo Tiandu was still a little moved in his heart. Fang's appearance is not very beautiful, his temper is not soft, and he is a bit stupid and can't socialize, but his heart is straightforward. She is not greedy, and is even more dedicated to her family. Compared with those slick women, such a person is indeed not of much use to Luo Baisu's career, but relatively, she will not cause trouble, and she will not give it to her. Luo Baisu brought disaster, and even if Luo Baisu got a wrong mind in the future and went astray, it might be possible to bring Luo Baisu back to the right path.

The mother and daughter reached a consensus, and called Zi Shu in, covered the wooden box, and asked him to send it back to Wei Que.

Zi Shu was a little apprehensive towards Wei Que, he was a little reluctant on the face, but he still took it and went to Wei Mansion.

Here Luo Tiandu asked Fang Shi what he would like to eat, Fang Shi thought about it carefully, and ordered fried pork chops without being polite.Her appetite has improved a lot now, and she is not as picky as before. Luo Tian fried pork chops for Wei Que last time. She has always been very greedy, and always wants to find a chance to try it. It's just that she is frugal by nature, and she is a little bit reluctant. That's all.Today she had an argument with Luo Tiandu, feeling a little regretful in her heart, and seeing Luo Tiandu mentioning this matter, she also understood that this was Luo Tiandu's deliberate way to curry favor with her, so she took her favor and spent it extravagantly.

After Luo Tian heard this, he readily agreed, took the money to buy meat and came back, fried a plate of delicious pork chops, poured hot black pepper sauce on it, and was about to serve it to Fang when he saw Zishu came back with a mournful face, holding a wooden box intact in his hand.

"Little lady, Master Wei refuses to accept it." Zishu wrinkled his buns, and complained to Luo Tiandu dejectedly.

"Why didn't you accept it? Did you not explain clearly?" Luo Tiandu also frowned, Wei Que refused to accept it, it was a bit difficult to handle.

"I just arrived at the Wei Mansion. Master Wei happened to be going out, so I met him at the door. Before I could say anything, Master Wei glanced at me like this, and said coldly, little lady, you don't want it, so just throw it away." Zishu is embellishing this, but in the real situation, when Wei Que saw the wooden box and stared at him, knives were flying out of his eyes, which made Zishu shiver all over.

According to Zi Shu's description, Luo Tian made up his mind about the way Wei Que spoke coldly with his paralyzed face, and he also felt a little uncomfortable, so he said, "I see, let Sister Xiang Lan put the The box was delivered to my room, I will find another chance to return it." Now it is important for her to take care of Fang's stomach.

Hearing this, Zishu acted like an amnesty, shouting "Sister Xiang Lan" all the way, and ran to the kitchen.

Hearing their conversation in the room, Mrs. Fang couldn't help but sighed: "Oh, let me just say, don't take people's things casually, or you won't be able to get back."

"It's okay, let Dad take you to the yamen tomorrow, let him send it to Master Wei." Luo Tian relentlessly pushed this tricky job to Luo Baisu, as a father, he won't come out at this time How long will I have to wait to solve the problems for my wife and daughter?
In the end, before Luo Baisu could send it to Wei Que, Wei Que came to the door again at night. Fortunately, Luo Baisu had already returned, and the pillars of the family had to deal with the outsiders, so Luo Tiandu and Fang Shi didn't bother to go out. up.

Luo Baisu kept his wife's and daughter's orders in mind, immediately took out the ginseng box, put it on the table, and said politely: "Master Wei, your kindness is appreciated, but this old mountain ginseng is really a rare thing, very rare. Master Wei still keeps it for himself, just in case it will be used someday."

What Luo Baisu said was the truth. Compared with him, a sixth-rank civil servant, Wei Que's work is obviously much more dangerous. This old mountain ginseng is old enough, and it is just right to use it to hang his life when necessary. In the future, Wei Que will have a greater chance of using it himself.
