Chapter 66 She Forgot What She Could Dig

Seeing the village chief standing in front of Yu Sanlang with a nervous look on his face, Yu Hongdou asked him a few questions in a low voice.

Yu Sanlang shook his head repeatedly, then invited the village chief to go to the main house to talk.

Yu Hongdou did not follow. There are some things that one can eavesdrop on, but there are some things that one cannot.

Anyway, her father is open-minded and basically won't hide anything from them. At worst, they can just ask later.

However, Yu Hongdou still went to her mother with a bit of gossip in her mind and whispered to her mother: "Mom, do you think the village chief is looking for Dad to ask him to find a job for his eldest son?"

The village chief's eldest son passed the imperial examination and was very proud of himself, but he failed repeatedly when he took the subsequent exams. Maybe he wanted to give up and take a shortcut.

"No, your father doesn't have that ability." Xu shook her head in disbelief.

If Hongyang wanted to find a job, he could just submit his letter of intent based on his title as a scholar.

There are only a few scholars in Wu'an County, so it is not easy to find a job. You can just open a school or a private school and you won't have to worry about your livelihood.

"Is it because of Sister Xiulan?" Yu Hongdou did not forget what her second cousin said, that the village chief's daughter also fell in love with the young master of the Tan family.

"No, Xiulan has already been promised a marriage, but there is a death in the other party's family, so we have to wait until a year of mourning." Xu had just heard about this from the village head's wife.

Gao Xiulan's wedding was originally scheduled for the end of the year, but her husband's grandfather suddenly passed away, and as she could not be the heir to the throne, she had to observe mourning for a year.

Yu Hongdou didn't expect that her mother had known all this information without saying a word, and she couldn't help but look at her mother with admiration.

If it wasn't for the future of their children, could it be for growing ginger? Was there something wrong with the ginger?

Yu Hongdou has never grown ginger, but they are all rhizomes, so they should be similar to growing potatoes and sweet potatoes, right?

The mother and daughter made lunch while whispering to each other. Taking care of Yu Hongdou, who was still growing up, their family adhered to the habit of having three meals a day.

Just when I was thinking about whether I should invite the village chief to stay for dinner, the village chief left with a look of grief on his face.

"What's wrong?" Xu asked her husband while picking up the bowl and chopsticks to serve rice.

"It's nothing serious. The classmate of Hongyang from the village chief's family was arrested. I heard that the county magistrate was coming to our house for a banquet, so he wanted to ask me about it." Yu Sanlang shook his head.

He looked at his wife, then at his daughter and Wangwang who was rolling around in the yard, and whispered a few words to his wife and daughter about recent events.

He was busy with the construction of the new building, and had not had time to tell his wife and daughter in detail about the arrest of the Zhixiang Sect.

They arrested the members of the Zhixiang Sect who caused the riot in the market that day, and it turned out that they found out that the Zhixiang Sect rose up here in order to search for treasure.

And this treasure is closely related to the Niangniang Temple in Wudai Mountain.

Yu Sanlang told the mother and daughter the legend of the Niangniang Temple that he had told the three brothers of the Tan family before, and the true content that his master had told him as a story.

"This favorite concubine is too bold!" Xu exclaimed repeatedly after hearing the story of the favorite concubine of the last emperor.

Yu Hongdou was much silent. In her mind, she combined the two treasures of the bandit Guo Jinlong and the empress's grave on the roadside and roughly guessed the ending of the story.

"This news cannot be leaked for the time being, otherwise no one will be in the mood to work and they will all want to go into Wudai Mountain to dig for treasure." Yu Sanlang gave this instruction, but he didn't really take it that seriously.

It has been nearly four hundred years. Even if one wants to dig, there is nowhere to look. He just said it casually.

But this casual remark was like thunder in Yu Hongdou's ears.

=口=! !

How could she forget that she could dig!

Why was she so foolish as to think of using the sign-in point to sign in at the bandit Guo Jinlong's treasure, and never thought of finding someone to dig up the treasure directly?

Yu Hongdou slapped her head, looked up at her father, opened her mouth and then suddenly closed it again.

She was stupid. She could claim that she had found something in the mountains after signing in. How could she tell her family about a buried treasure? Did she dream about it?

"I think that classmate Hongyang might be involved in the Zhixiang Sect's affairs."

"It's not my business, and neither is it his. I just told the village chief a little bit and asked him to keep promoting it for a while." Yu Sanlang would still sell the favor.

The arrest of the Zhixiang Sect branch at the market has been made public and is no secret. The arrest of Hongyang's classmate is likely related to the two booklets he handed in.

"Don't go too far into the mountains these two days. The Wudai Mountain where the Niangniang Temple is located will definitely attract a wave of people." Yu Sanlang instructed.

He knew that his wife and daughter would not go into the mountains alone, but he still had to remind them to stay away from strangers. However, he made up his mind that he would go to his daughter's farm to pick people after planting the ginger.

Since it was a matter of safety, Xu and Yu Hongdou agreed obediently.

Mrs. Xu was fine. She only dug some wild vegetables around to feed the chickens and mostly stayed around the house.

It’s a pity for Yu Hongdou that she will have to wait for a while before she can learn Master Wu’s other two skills.

Fortunately, she found something more interesting to do now, so she just let go of her regret for a while.

After lunch, Yu Hongdou was taken by her parents who had nothing to do for the time being to learn some calligraphy. They also stipulated that from now on, she would go to the old house in the morning to learn about medicinal herbs with Grandpa Yu, and learn to read and write at home in the afternoon.

In fact, Yu Hongdou had already secretly finished reading a book sent by Tan Yanlin.

There were some characters that she didn't recognize and she could only guess. This made her want to learn, but before she even mentioned it, her parents had already thought of it.

After learning the characters, I took a short nap and learned painting knowledge in the teaching mode.

Yu Hongdou doodled a picture and asked her crazy teacher to revise it. The two completed the teaching and learning process through the interaction of setting questions and revising them.

After waking up from a nap, Yu Hongdou felt particularly fulfilled. She went out to look for her parents, carrying Wangwang, who had taken a short nap with her.

When I walked out of the room, I saw that my father was not at home. My mother and second aunt were in the kitchen, chatting while making dog food for Wangwang.

Yu Hongdou hurried over to say hello and see if there was anything she could do to help.

"This dog eats better than humans. It's hard for you." Sun was amazed and helped her sister-in-law to make a fire.

"Well, isn't it that those noble gentlemen value it very much? Also, we heard that this dog grows up to be very loyal, so we thought it would be great if we could protect Hongdou a little." Xu explained nonchalantly.

The pot was half filled with cornmeal porridge, and Xu was adding some ingredients to it, including some bone powder that Tan Langxiu had brought, a bowl of goat's milk and an egg.

Xu also threw in some chicken offal, which were left over from killing a chicken yesterday.

No wonder Sun sighed that ordinary people are reluctant to eat eggs themselves.

There was also goat milk. I heard that Yu Sanlang paid for it and bought two bowls every day, one for the dog and one for his daughter.

"Hongdou, your father just bought some goat's milk, and the remaining bowl is yours. Go and drink it quickly. I heard that drinking goat's milk can help you grow taller." Xu smiled at her sister-in-law and pointed to the stove.

Yu Hongdou looked over and saw a ceramic jar as big as a fermented bean curd jar. Half of the jar was milky white and emitting a strong milky aroma.

In her previous life, she was lactose intolerant and could only switch between Shuhua milk and goat milk. Compared with the two, goat milk was more to her taste, so Yu Hongdou went over without hesitation, picked up the can and took a sip.

"Poof~" A strong smell of mutton entered her mouth, choking Yu Hongdou so much that she sprayed out food on the spot.
