The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 122 Did you say the wrong thing?

Seeing the astonishment of these people, the smile on Mrs. Xue's face couldn't help but get wider.

Her daughter is amazing!

At this time, Xue Qingyin put down the cup in her hand and said, "I want to go up the mountain to see the condition of those horses..."

Mr. Lin hurriedly said: "Yes, it's time to go and take a look. Let's just walk around the village by ourselves."

He said, paused, and then added: "If you are serious about starting a horse farm business, I'm afraid you will need to prepare two veterinarians on the farm."

Xue Qingyin sighed: "I've been thinking about it too, but it's just hard to find."

Most of them have been taken over by the army. The few veterinarians who remain among the people mostly treat cattle. It is really hard to find a serious horse doctor!

Ning Que opened his mouth and closed it again.

It would be easy for him to find someone high-ranking.

Finding a veterinarian is really not his strong suit.

Mr. Lin immediately nodded and said, "It's not easy to find. I'll keep an eye on it."

Mr. Lin may not know that many princes and nobles from above. But if he goes down to three levels of teaching, he still has some ways to go.

Ning Que felt that it was useless and said, "Why don't we go and see the situation at the racecourse together?"

Mr. Lin smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if I wait, I'll just get in the way."

Ning Que: "..."

Mr. Lin's heart skipped a beat. What's going on? Did I say the wrong thing? This is... correct! They are indeed of no use! You can’t treat people’s horses either!

Xue Qingyin smiled: "Mom, there's no need to go."

Mrs. Xue frowned.

Xue Qingyin said: "I'm very lazy. Maybe I need someone to carry me up and down the mountain. If my mother goes too, they will have to carry two of them."

Mrs. Xue thought about it.

If she went together, there would be no reason for her daughter to carry her and her mother to walk on foot.

It wasn’t something worth joining in the fun... Mrs. Xue nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Before Xue Qingyin left, she didn't forget to tell the servant: "Bring out the cards for Auntie and the others to play with."

The servant responded quickly.

After a while the playing cards were fetched.

The symbols and pictures on it are also carefully designed.

Mr. Lin was puzzled when he saw it: "Is this a card? How come I've never seen it before?"

Mrs. Xue covered her lips and smiled: "You've never seen it before, have you? I've never seen it before. This was also caused by my daughter."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xue got excited again and said cheerfully: "I'll teach you how to play."

Mrs. Xue was originally a merchant, but she didn't pay that much attention. Now when I'm playing cards with them, there are maids and servants around me, and there's nothing wrong with them.

She shuffled the cards generously with her fingers.

Common leaf cards are very long.

The card in her hand at this moment was square, and when she grasped it with one finger, it made people feel that her fingers were long and beautiful.

Ning Que was at a loss for words, so he couldn't help but add: "...Madam's hands should be put on some medicine."

Mrs. Xue looked at him in confusion, wondering why this man was still struggling with the previous problem?

Really long-winded.

Ning Que saw that Mrs. Xue was silent, so he had no choice but to freeze there and let her look at her.

Mrs. Xue said: "Let's play cards first."

He just transferred Ning Que's words without leaving any trace.

Mr. Lin also felt that the atmosphere was not right.

He thought to himself, could it be that Mrs. Xue knew that this was from King Wei's side?

Mr. Lin secretly thought, if this makes him unhappy, he will not be able to bring Mr. Ning here again in the future.

Fortunately, after a while, Mrs. Xue finished teaching them the rules of the card game, and together with Liu Xiuyuan, the four of them started playing together.

Naturally, I couldn't care about anything else.

The atmosphere was great for the moment.

This time Xue Qingyin went up the mountain and heard a low whimpering before she even got close.

The voice was hoarse, like a broken old bellows. If it weren't for the clear sky and daylight, it would still sound a bit scary.

"Who is crying?" Xue Qingyin asked.

The man was startled and emerged from the bottom of the shed. He was stunned when he saw Xue Qingyin.

"This is the eldest daughter of the master's family." The servant on the side quickly reminded him.

The man quickly bowed to greet him, and the look on his face became even more arrogant.

Xue Qingyin looked at him.

He was actually an old man.

He was wearing a rough dungaree and his shoes had holes in them. The back is deeply hunched, and the surface is covered with ravines. The tears washed over his face, leaving a few stains. Looking at those eyes again, the whites of the eyes were cloudy and yellow, slightly protruding like fish eyes.

The old man knew that he looked scary, so he shrank his neck and his back became even more rickety.

His lips trembled and he spoke incoherently: "You villain, it's your fault that you're sorry for the mistress..."

Xue Qingyin couldn't help but look at the servant on the side.

The servant hurriedly said: "He is the one raising the horses now."

Xue Qingyin felt strange: "Weren't there two young people before?"

The servant said: "One is sick, and the other is the son of this old man. His son didn't learn very well, but the old man came to see his son several times, and he learned well from Ma Cao. After that, his son Just go farm."

As soon as these words came out, the old man shrank back and quickly knelt down towards Xue Qingyin, pursing his lips but not knowing what to say.

Xue Qingyin said: "Get up first, it doesn't have to be like this. Take me to see those horses."

The servant responded.

The servants of the palace who followed her quickly spread a layer of cloth on the ground and invited Xue Qingyin to step up.

Xue Qingyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Where can such a big pomp come from?"

"The stable is very dirty, so as not to dirty the master's dress."

The old man saw this and naturally felt that the girl from the master's family was extraordinary and noble.

He panicked and knelt down again, hitting his head against the pillar of the stable, trembling and saying: "I'm sorry, master, I didn't take good care of her... Take my life. Please don't send me to the government..."

Xue Qingyin couldn't bear to see the old man like this.

She quickly glanced at the people around her: "Help him up, don't let him kneel."

The guards who had been silently guarding Xue Qingyin came forward to lift the old man up and help him stand steadily.

The old man really couldn't kneel down now, let alone hit the pillar.

He stood there stupidly for a while, with his head down, as if welcoming the end of the world.

Xue Qingyin asked: "Why don't you send him to the government?"

The servant explained: "He didn't take good care of the farm. Some farms will send people to the government for punishment according to the law on the grounds of damaging the property of the master."

Xue Qingyin sighed in her heart and said: "Since you didn't collude with others, we won't send you to the government."

The old man came back to life and waved his hands: "No, no, I dare not." He cried bitterly: "I can't thank the master yet. I'm old and can't find any work outside. It's easy to raise horses. It can also make my son have the strength to farm and do other work when he has time. I see that this family is getting better..."

For Liujia Farm, it's just a fight between farms.

But for the old man who raises horses, he can cut off people's livelihoods with just a flick of his finger.

So Xue Qingyin sometimes hates those who use means to attack others.

What a strategist.

I don't know how many passers-by will die inside.

Xue Qingyin walked in and soon saw the injured horses.

In fact, it was not as serious as imagined...

The horse lay down in the shed, with a layer of black stuff on its hoof. There was still blood on the ground, but it was not very visible.

"What is this smeared with?" Xue Qingyin asked.

The old man stammered: "Yes, it was taught by the previous one, Master Dong. He said, he said that sometimes in the army, the horse's hoof was injured, and there was no time to see a veterinarian, and they had to march quickly, so they would use herbal medicine..."

Xue Qingyin nodded.

Master Dong must be the previous horse Cao.

"You did a great job and reacted quickly. It's not your fault that the horse's hoof was injured." Xue Qingyin paused for a moment and said, "There is a reward."

The old man was stunned: "Ah?"

He used his decades of experience to add up, and he couldn't figure out why he was rewarded for the horse's injury?

The master didn't ask him to pay silver, nor did he send him to the government, so why was there a reward?
