Married a scholar

▍ "It's delicious."

It was Xia Wenze who came back. Seeing his complexion, Meng Yining couldn't help but thumped in his heart, "Why, what happened to the little girl?"

"No." Seeing that he misunderstood, Xia Wenze hurriedly said: "It's still the same over there, I haven't woken up, I met my mother when I came back." He said that his nephew was beaten by Brother Ning and lay on the bed for two days He was still screaming in pain, so he insisted on paying for the medicine.

"Scared me to death." Meng Yining couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, "What is your mother going to do again?"

Xia Wenze sat down on the stool in the main room, "I was asked to pay for the medicine, but I refused."

"It's your nephew's medicine money?" Meng Yining raised his eyebrows, "Doctor Zhou didn't even prescribe medicine for abrasions, what kind of medicine money does she want? Did she go to the town to see a doctor?"

"I don't know." Xia Wenze naturally wouldn't ask more questions, but said, "Your lobby sister-in-law is watching over the red girl. I heard from Mrs. Zhou that she doesn't eat or drink or rest all day and night."

Both Dr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou were worried that she would collapse, but no one could persuade her.No one has been to the Meng family since the day of the accident, and they are all trying to figure out how to calm down the anger of Second Young Master Liu and the young master of the restaurant.It is estimated that in the eyes of those in the Meng family, as long as Mr. Liu who came yesterday does not report to the official, the matter of the red girl will not be a big problem.

And it is so.

For the people in the village, it is better to have one thing less than one thing more, not to mention that the red girl is still alive right now.

It's better not to see officials if you can.

Xia Wenze told him what he heard from Dr. Zhou, "I heard that your nanny went to the town academy to call your third uncle."

Meng Yining snorted coldly, "It's useless to call my third uncle back. My third uncle is just a teacher in the academy in the town. He has some status, but if he really wants to match up with those two in the county, my third uncle Uncle can't do either." Fortunately, the young master of the restaurant said that he didn't come, so he didn't think there was any money involved.

It's different with Second Young Master Liu. His lobby brother borrowed more than 200 taels of silver from someone else, and he came here yesterday and beat him up. Wealthy and powerful, the Meng family would undoubtedly hit a rock with an egg.

In addition, there is also evidence that his eldest cousin threw his own child to death.

The group of the Meng family had better pray that the red girl can live, otherwise there is no guarantee that the second son of Liu will report to the officials that his big brother killed him.

In this day and age, parents have the final say on the fate of their children, but it is also the people who don't raise officials and don't investigate. Once someone reports to the official, it doesn't matter whether you are a parent or not, you have to do whatever the law says.

His third uncle is just a scholar, not even a Juren.If he really became a Juren, maybe that Second Young Master Liu could pay some money for his third uncle's fame and the matter would be over.

"Where's my cousin? She provoked this matter, so she didn't say anything?" Meng Yining really admired his lobby sister, and he didn't know where she got her ability.

"I heard that I haven't seen anyone since the accident." Xia Wenze touched the kettle on the table, it was warm, and poured out two glasses of water.

"Most likely she went to hide at her uncle's house." Meng Yining snorted, only now did she realize that she was afraid, why did she go so early.If his heart wasn't so big, given how much Mr. Liu thought about her, he might really be able to marry her in. Now it's all over, it's all over.

After pressing this matter, the two went to Daqingshan to collect firewood after lunch.

"By the way, tomorrow seems to be the market day in Yuhe Town." Meng Yining tied up the firewood, and then remembered this.

Shangyao Village is located between Shangqing Town and Yuhe Town, but Shangqing Town is closer, so most of the villagers will go to Shangqing Town if they want to buy or sell.

The days of going to the market are staggered on both sides of Shangqing Town and Yuhe Town.

The first, thirteenth, and 25th of every month are the days for the market in Shangqing Town, and the seventh and nineteenth day are the days for the market in Yuhe Town. If there is a 31st in the month, then the 31st is the day for the market in Yuhe Town.

Today is the eighteenth, and tomorrow is the nineteenth, which happens to be the market day in Yuhe Town.

"Yes, the herbs you picked last time can be sold." Xia Wenze picked up the firewood, "I'll send these back first."

"it is good."

The herbal medicine he collected when he went to Daqing Mountain alone had already been dried. Dr. Zhou himself had a small medicine field, and he would go to the mountain to collect herbs from time to time on weekdays, so there is no shortage of commonly used herbs in his family. He will buy only rare ones.

Therefore, the common herbal medicines collected by everyone are dried and stored up, and they are sold at the medicine hall in the town together on the day of the market.

The herbs that Meng Yining picked were relatively common, so they were also dried and sold in the town.

When Xia Wenze came back, Meng Yining said to him, "Don't I still have some beautiful pheasant tail feathers? Make some shuttlecocks and sell them."

Although there is no shortage of money now, who would think there is too much money.

He doesn't like doing business, but he doesn't mean that he won't make money when he can.

"Okay, I'll help you do it when the time comes." Xia Wenze stomped off a slightly larger dead branch, "By the way, when I came here just now, I saw my third uncle come back."

He was sitting in a carriage, and if an uncle from the Meng family hadn't asked, he wouldn't have known that it was Geer Ning's third uncle.

"It's pretty quick to come back." Meng Yining gently moved his hand, and a caterpillar lying on a dry branch was cut into two pieces, "Look, there's still trouble to be had." What did his third uncle say? Well, his own interests come first, followed by his small family, then his old husband's family, and finally the Meng family.As for the Meng family, the old man and the old lady are really filial. After all, he is supported by the two old people.

If Meng Yining's father is still there, there should be his father's kindness in it.But it's a pity that Meng Yining's father left early.

As for Meng Boss's family, Meng Yining and his uncle, it's fine.

This time he was suddenly called back by the old lady, and he didn't know what happened.If only I knew.

Meng Yining could still imagine the scene of his uncle's family confronting his third uncle.

The old man and the old lady don't have 200 taels of silver on them at all. After all these years, the silver that his father handed over at the beginning may be almost coaxed by his uncle's family from the old lady.

Not to mention the money his third uncle spent on studying in the early years.

This time the matter cannot be settled with 200 taels.

But this has nothing to do with Meng Yining.

The two picked up four or five bundles of firewood and went back.

After stacking the firewood against the wall behind the kitchen, Meng Yining went to take out the pheasant tail feathers.

It took the two of them less than an hour to make five beautiful shuttlecocks.

"It shouldn't be a problem to sell it for ten cents each." Meng Yining was playing with a shuttlecock in his hand. The main reason is that the pheasant tail feathers he left behind are very beautiful, and ordinary chicken feather shuttlecocks are definitely not worth the price.

"It's a pity that two of them were broken." At first, the two were unskilled and broke a few feathers.

Meng Yining didn't think it was a big deal, practice makes perfect, next time they have beautiful pheasant tail feathers, they will definitely not waste it.

Xia Wenze got up and went to the yard to take back the sun-dried fungus, "It's ready." These fungus were picked when the two of them went to Daqingshan last time. The sun is good these days, and the fungus has been dried and can be put away .

"Soak some fungus and fry it to eat at night." Putting the shuttlecock into the basket, Meng Yining got up and grabbed a handful of fungus and soaked them in the basin.

After dinner in the evening, Meng Chongjue prepared the food and medicine that Meng Yining wanted.

Meng Yining didn't delay either, he kept some medicine for himself, and traded the rest along with food to Zhan Youxi. Zhan Youxi was so grateful that he traded a lot of crystal cores, gold, silver and Jade ornaments.

Now their food is very tight, and these are the only things he can trade.

Meng Yining didn't care about these things, he had food in his space, but the crystal nucleus was what he needed most.The crystal nuclei in his space are not enough for him to recover to level nine.

What's more, he had to keep some crystal cores for emergencies, so he was happier when Zhan Youxi traded him crystal cores.

After the deal with Zhan Youxi, Meng Yining took out two apples to wash, one for himself and one for Xia Wenze.

"Try it, this apple is crisp and sweet." All the crisp apples in his space, there is no pink apple.Apples are still a rarity here, and there are only a few places where they are planted. They are far away from Shangyao Village, and the transportation is difficult. Ordinary people here have never even seen them.

On the contrary, plums, pears, hawthorns, oranges, etc. are common fruits.

But these fruits are just blooming now, and it will be several months before they can be eaten, so there is no fruit to eat now.

Xia Wenze took a bite, and the sweet and sour juice mixed with a pleasant fruity aroma spread out in the nose and mouth. After swallowing the pulp in his mouth, Xia Wenze praised: "The taste is better than the ones I have eaten at Mr. tasty."

He has eaten apples before. When he was in the academy, he was highly valued by his husband because of his good reading.Once, a student of my husband got three apples at home and sent three to my husband.

It happened that time he was there, so the husband cut an apple out, and he remembered that the apple looked a little wilted at that time, not at all like the juicy looking one Ning Geer gave him.

"If you like me, there are more here." Meng Yining took out a few more apples and a bunch of bananas, "Have you ever eaten this banana?"

"No." He had never even heard the name.

"Then try this." Meng Yining peeled a banana for him.

Xia Wenze smiled and took a bite of his hand, looked at him and said, "It's delicious."

Meng Yining was fascinated for a moment by the deep eyes reflecting the dim yellow fire, and suddenly stuffed the remaining banana into his mouth, and when he realized it, his cheeks were hot, "Well, I Go wash up and go to bed, and you go to bed early too." After speaking, he ran out, forgetting to close the door.

Looking at Meng Yining's running back, Xia Wenze chuckled and took a bite of the apple in his hand.

I don't like to eat pink apples, it tastes weird. .
