Chapter 386 This Woman is Good at Making Tricks
Fu Xuanheng called Yingfeng over, "Take Master Duan to Yunheng Palace. Arrange all the necessary clothes and books, and tell Xuansheng to live near Master Duan."
"Yes." Ying Feng responded, "Mr. Duan, please come this way."
Duan Peiyan stood up and saluted.
Put the books back in their place.
Yingfeng laughed and said:
"There's a library in Yunheng Palace. It houses tens of thousands of volumes, including many rare books."
Duan Peiyan: “…” I don’t even want to go home.
I don’t know if it’s the end of the year.
It is very peaceful on Taiping Mountain.
It's a bit too peaceful.
There are still ten days until the Spring Festival.
Those who were sick are basically stable, and no one has been infected again.
Shen Yunyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Ke is about to quit his job.
"Girl Chen, this is so unkind of you. What does the life and death of those people have to do with me?" Old Ke rolled his eyes several times and sat on the doorstep panting.
He slapped his thigh and cried out in exhaustion, "When did the people of Medicine King Valley become doctors who treat the common people for free?"
Mo Youting was dumbfounded.
Is Mr. Ke cheating?
He was very excited when treating the disease and said that he had never encountered such a disease before.
"Mr. Ke, didn't you say that before?"
Mr. Ke ignored it and slumped down on the doorstep.
"I was excited for one day, but then I was like a slave for almost twenty days."
"I want to be powerful, not to be your slave."
While speaking, Mr. Ke stole several glances at Shen Yunyue.
Like a little old man playing tricks.
Shen Yunyue: ... "Then what do you want?"
"I'm on strike."
Mo Youting slapped her forehead speechlessly. Why did she feel that Mr. Ke was up to something bad?
"Oh. Is that so? I thought you'd been working hard these days, so I wanted to give you a big gift during the Spring Festival." Shen Yunyue sighed nonchalantly, "Since Mr. Ke wants to go back to Medicine King Valley, why not give him a few herbs."
"For example, things like the Resurrection Grass and the Thousand Poison Grass."
If it were in the past, Mr. Ke would definitely jump up.
Now the Resurrection Grass and Thousand Poison Grass are no longer of his interest.
"I don't like it."
"Really? Well, there's nothing I can do. At most, I can give you some more medicinal wine." Shen Yunyue picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip slowly, and put it down. Then she raised her head and said indifferently, "Of course there are good things, but we have to keep those who are loyal to us."
"Youting, I'll give you a big gift after the Spring Festival."
Mo Youting reacted and said with a smile:
"Then I'll have more cousins. But I'm afraid I can't come up with anything with my current level. Oh, it would be great if Mr. Ke was still here."
"If a cow doesn't drink water, can you force it to drink?"
Mr. Ke: .... Shen Yunyue has something good, but she doesn't want to give it to him?
Woo woo woo, bullying the old man.
That’s too bad.
Damn girl, you are a bad person.
Mr. Ke looked frustrated. "Youting, I can actually continue to live here."
Mo Youting shook her head. "Mr. Ke, it's really dangerous here, cousin. It's unknown whether those people from the Ice Sea Summit will come again.
If you return to Yaowang Valley, you can naturally avoid these dangers.
Although there is research to be done here, it is indeed dangerous. I understand your thoughts, and don't worry, we won't laugh at you."
Mr. Ke: ...He is not afraid of danger at all.
This girl has no brain circuits, but she has no other abilities.
His ability to make people angry to death is absolutely first-class.
"Shen girl."
Shen Yunyue stood up and instructed Donghe, "Donghe, tell Mu Ya to go to the pharmacy. Bring over three pots of the best Thousand Poison Grass and Resurrection Grass."
"Mr. Ke, I'll write down the precautions on how to raise them."
Mr. Ke scratched his ears and said, "I didn't hear what you said."
"I'll give you a thousand poisonous herbs."
"Ah, the old man's ears are not good and he can't hear." Mr. Ke deliberately lifted his ears.
Shen Yunyue couldn't help laughing and said, "Stay with me, I'll give you some different potions and pills." Those were all modern things, and he couldn't study them even if he wanted to.
These pills can only be used to cure diseases and save lives.
"Okay. It's a deal." Mr. Ke's deaf ear was healed immediately.
Mo Youting was shocked by what she saw.
"Cousin, Mr. Ke is playing tricks."
Old Ke was unconvinced and said, "How could I be playing tricks? If Miss Shen had said earlier that she would give me a treasure, would I have sat on the doorstep and chatted for so long?"
He got up, walked into the house and sat on a chair.
He brought the plate of snacks on the table in front of him and ate several snacks in a row.
"Hmm, what is this?"
"Snow Mountain Mei Niang is made from cow's milk. If you like it, ask Mu Yaduo to make some for you."
"good."
Mr. Ke agreed immediately.
"Young Madam, there are a few women from the farm outside who want to thank you for saving their lives. They sent some gifts to express their gratitude."
In recent days, villagers have always brought things here.
Shen Yunyue would also watch as they received them, and then ask Mu Ya to prepare some rice, grains, salt, sugar and other things for them to take back.
"Mu Ya, go and take care of it. Prepare some things for them to take back so they don't go back empty-handed."
Mu Ya responded.
"Young Madam, Mr. Duan's mother is here too." Mu Ya whispered as if she remembered something.
Shen Yunyue pondered for a moment.
"Then I'll go over and take a look."
Since they were planning to become in-laws in the future, Shen Yunyue naturally had to pay attention to it.
The red plum blossoms in the yard were in bloom. Crossing the yard, I came to the side near the kitchen. Several women in coarse cotton jackets stood there awkwardly.
Seeing Shen Yunyue coming, several people hurriedly knelt down.
Shen Yunyue stepped forward to support Duan's mother, "Muya, Donghe, help her up quickly."
"Stop kneeling. Get up."
Duan's mother stood up with the help of Shen Yunyue's arm strength. She had lost a lot of weight during her illness.
"Madam Fu, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would all be dead." Duan's mother's eyes were filled with tears. "My useless second son and second daughter-in-law treated our benefactor in the same way. I am really ashamed of you."
Afterwards, she returned home and listened to Duan Peifang tell her what had happened.
Duan's mother wanted to beat her second son and his wife to death.
He actually broke a stick, but he only dared to hit his son. As for his daughter-in-law, she was a girl from another family, so how could he lay his hands on her?
Because of this incident, Duan's mother and father separated immediately.
He divided all his sons away.
The old couple lived with Duan Peiyan and Duan Peifang, who were not yet married.
Shen Yunyue smiled, "I beat your son and daughter-in-law pretty badly. Tell them, if they want to be beaten, they can come to me."
"It's normal to have some small thoughts. Just don't go too far. My Xuan Ting is not someone you can easily mess with."
Shen Yunyue said with a double meaning: "If someone makes the wrong decision, they will naturally have to pay the price."
Even if Fu Xuanting was wrong, she would not let it go.
Duan's mother hurriedly said, "Mrs. Fu is right."
"Aunt, maybe we will be in-laws in the future. Please call me by my name." Shen Yunyue saw that Duan's mother was not like her useless second son, so she was naturally willing to give her face.
The women who were following nearby opened their mouths wide.
He looked at Duan's mother secretly.
This woman is so resourceful that she actually married into the Fu family.
She secretly regretted it, wondering if there were any unmarried women of marriageable age in the Fu family. Several women each made their own plans, intending to find out if there were any unmarried women or boys of marriageable age in the Fu family.
Shen Yunyue asked Mu Ya to prepare some things.
When he heard that Duan's mother had come here on foot, he hurriedly asked Xiaojiu to ask someone to harness a carriage to take Duan's mother back.
"These are all grown in our fields, and the others are gifts from friends. Take some home and let the children taste them."
Except rice.
Shen Yunyue gave coarse cloth and some cakes and candies.
Only the Duan family gave two extra gifts.
"Go back slowly. It's cold, don't catch a cold."
The women were very touched. The Fu family was so kind. Several carriages drove up from the Shen family's gate.
Very fast.
We stopped at the door of Fu’s house.
"Madam Fu, we are from Jinyang Prefecture. Young Master Rong ordered us to come here to deliver the New Year's gift."
"And us. We met Young Master Rong's men on the way. Master Ling said he would send some things over first and come to Baijia Village to celebrate the festival together before the Spring Festival."
Shen Yunyue hurriedly ordered An Yi and Mu Ya to receive them.
She only corresponded with Ling Moxuan but had never met him.
Seeing that the Fu family was busy, Duan's mother hurriedly said goodbye to Shen Yunyue. A coachman had already arrived with a carriage. Most of the women were from Duanjiazhuang or the neighboring farms.
I took a car back with Duan's mother.
Along the way, he was inquiring about the unmarried girls and boys in the mansion.
When the driver told them that the oldest was ten-year-old Shen Yunfeng, several people started laughing.
"My little girl just turned five this year, so it's just right."
"Your girl is only five years old, mine is 12. She's two years older than the young master, and she's the most caring."
"Humph, the Shen family is a wealthy family. Why would they choose a girl older than themselves? My granddaughter is three years old this year. She's suitable for engagement, so I'll send her here to cultivate a relationship."
"Bah, what's so good about three years old? My child is exactly ten years old, that's what we call childhood sweethearts."
Duan's mother: .... Is she not suitable for talking too much?
The coachman outside was ashamed.
If there were a few more guys down there, would these women start fighting?
"The fourth son of the Duan family is a real sly thief. He quietly managed to seduce a girl from a wealthy family. My boy is not bad either. He works in a restaurant in town. He's no worse than the fourth son of the Duan family, and he's even better if he's a bit stronger."
"Yes, yes. My brother-in-law is learning carpentry. He has a good physique, but he's better if he's not good with words."
…….
Duan's mother was furious this time.
"Do you think the Fu family is looking for a long-term worker? He's a carpenter, a restaurant worker, and he's also a good farmer."
"The young lady of the Fu family is well-educated and has excellent literary skills. My fourth son is the top scholar. Master Fu told him to study hard and take part in next year's provincial examination. He should strive to become the top scholar in the exam so that he can be worthy of the young lady of the Fu family."
"What can you farmhands compare with?"
Duan's mother sat up straight.
Several people on the side were dissatisfied.
"He just relied on his eloquence to deceive Miss Fu."
"I heard that the maids in wealthy families can all read. Why don't I let my son go to school too? If he gets the first place in the exam in the future, maybe he can marry a lady from a wealthy family?"
Duan's mother smiled and said, "I heard that when we go to the capital to participate in the Spring Examination, there will be a show to find a son-in-law."
"Hurry up and send your family to the academy to study, even if it's just to study with the village teacher first."
"Brother. You all know how to read?"
The driver smiled and said, "I don't know about other families' servants, but to work for the Fu and Shen families, you naturally need to know how to read. Our monthly salary is also higher than others."
"How much do you make per month, little brother?"
The young man cracked his whip and said, "One tael of silver. The daily rewards from the master, and the rewards given during the New Year. In a year, there are twenty or thirty taels of silver."
Everyone did the math in their minds.
"My dear, even if you can learn a few words as a student, you will earn more than others when you work in the future."
"My husband works as a laborer, working himself to death, and only earns twenty cents a day." One of the women frowned, "He also has to pump water for the leader. I've decided to let my son go to school."
The wind direction suddenly changed.
From this day on, many people sent their children to school.
Especially when they heard that educated people were better at farming than others, those people decided that they were useless and had to let their children and grandchildren start to do the farming.
Shen Yunyue didn't know that after this time, everyone would study with the determination to set a small goal first.
That small goal is to come to work for the Fu family.
Earn twenty or thirty taels of silver a year.
That day, Shen Yunyue took Mu Ya Bayanian to Shihan County to buy things.
"Mu Ya, go to the silver shop and get some gold and silver coins to give as rewards to people during the Spring Festival." Shen Yunyue instructed Mu Ya when they arrived in the county.
"Young Madam, I will go to the nearby silver shop right away." The silver shop was rented from the Fu family. On that day, they bought several shops in Shihan County and collected rent.
Among them is the Silver House.
"Okay. Come find me at Sihai Restaurant when you're done. We'll have lunch there."
Mu Ya responded and left.
