Chapter 180: The old general wants to recognize his granddaughter
The big house at the entrance of the village.
As soon as Xuanyuan Jin entered the room, he saw two wild ginsengs on the table.
He turned around and looked at Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu touched his nose awkwardly.
He also didn't expect that the owner of the pharmacy had so little acting talent.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Jin didn't say anything, but just instructed: "I'm afraid the Su family will go to the county to sell wild ginseng tomorrow. Make arrangements and buy it back."
"yes."
Zhao Wu quickly agreed, but he was speechless in his heart.
Why bother?
Wouldn't it save money and trouble to buy it directly from the Su family?
Xuanyuan Jin then instructed, "Have some silver ingots cast in various styles. Whenever I go out in the future, I'll have some ready to take with me."
"yes."
Zhao Wu agreed verbally, but felt confused in his heart.
Silver ingots of various styles were mostly given by the elders of wealthy families to their younger generations as New Year's money during festivals. Some were also given by the mistresses of wealthy families as rewards to their trusted maids.
In short, it is for good luck and auspiciousness.
It’s not the New Year or any other festival. Why would our young master need that thing?
Zhao Wu doesn’t understand now, but he will understand soon.
"Jin'er!"
With a surprised voice, the mighty general Yang Yong strode in.
Following behind him was Wang Zhong with a smile on his face.
"Grandpa." Xuanyuan Jin hurriedly saluted the old general.
The old general patted Xuanyuan Jin's shoulder excitedly and carefully observed Xuanyuan Jin's complexion.
Sure enough, his grandson's face turned rosy.
I don’t know how much better my complexion is compared to before.
"Jin'er, Grandpa knows everything. Your health has improved a lot. Grandpa is very happy...haha..."
As the old general spoke, he burst into laughter.
The depression that had been pent up between his brows for years seemed to disappear at this moment.
Xuanyuan Jin was also very happy and couldn't help but feel excited.
Despite his young age, he still exudes a graceful and elegant demeanor.
"Speaking of which, your health is so good thanks to that little girl from the Su family. You should thank her very much." The old general said again.
Xuanyuan Jin frowned and said, "Grandpa, don't involve Tang Bao in this matter. Also, my health condition must not be known to outsiders. Let those people still think that I am destined to have a short life."
After Xuanyuan Jin finished speaking, a cold look appeared on his little face.
The old general was stunned.
Then I understood.
Doing this is not only a way to protect the little girl, but also a way to protect the grandson.
He was so happy that he lost his vigilance and ignored this point.
I didn’t expect that he lived to such an old age and still relied on his grandson’s reminder at the critical moment.
The old general was both pleased and moved.
His grandson has been gifted and intelligent since childhood.
Although he was assassinated and injured, his mind was still extremely intelligent.
"Grandpa was negligent. Jin'er is right." The old general said, "The relationships in the court are complicated. Although you have left the capital, there are inevitably some villains who are still worried..."
When the old general said this, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Grandpa will send more people to protect you secretly."
"No need, Grandpa." Xuanyuan Jin said quickly: "I still have enough manpower, but Grandpa's situation is the best thing to do."
Xuanyuan Jin paused here, and a solemn expression appeared on his little face.
He added, "Grandpa is now in charge of the gold mine. I don't know how many people in the court are jealous. Those with ulterior motives will inevitably resort to some despicable means to try to seize the gold mine."
The old general couldn't help feeling relieved to hear that his grandson, despite being so young, was so thoughtful and caring about him.
"Don't worry, Jin'er. Grandpa has a plan for these matters." The old general said, patting Xuanyuan Jin's shoulder.
The more I look at this grandson, the more satisfied I feel.
Then, I thought of Xiao Tangbao again.
The little girl from the Su family is simply her grandson’s savior.
He must meet her some other day and thank the little girl properly.
Thinking this, the old general began to search in his mind for any precious things that would be suitable to give to the little girl.
However--
After thinking for a long time, he realized that his precious things seemed to be nothing more than swords, spears, and halberds.
Or...he will adopt the little girl as his granddaughter?
The old general's eyes lit up when he thought of this.
The more I think about it, the better this idea seems.

Su family.
As soon as Qian Yuemei saw Xiao Tangbao, she immediately asked with a smile on her face: "Auntie, are you hungry? Are you tired? Second sister-in-law will go get you some food."
After saying that, he walked quickly towards the kitchen.
Little Tangbao was a little surprised.
She thought that the first thing her second sister-in-law would ask was how much silver was sold for.
Su Xiaoliu came close to Xiao Tangbao and said in surprise, "Second sister-in-law didn't ask for money?"
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Even her thick-skinned sixth brother noticed this.
Qian Yuemei was waiting happily for her father-in-law to announce how much silver the ginseng was sold for.
I waited and waited until dinner was almost over, but my father-in-law didn't mention the money.
Qian Yuemei looked at Mrs. Su.
"What's wrong, sister-in-law?" Mrs. Su asked in confusion.
Qian Yuemei, “…”
This sister-in-law is just a blockhead.
Qian Yuemei couldn't help herself, so she looked at Old Man Su and asked with a smile on her face, "Dad, you made a lot of money today, didn't you?"
"Yes, I sold it for a lot of silver." Old Man Su said happily.
When he thought of the silver he had given to his wife, the food in his mouth tasted more and more delicious.
Qian Yuemei was waiting for her father-in-law to continue speaking, but Old Man Su didn't say anything.
Old Madam Su glanced at Qian Yuemei and said, "Second Brother, should your father and I disclose all our household accounts to you from now on? We should report everything, such as how much money we earn and how much we spend?"
That would be great!
Qian Yuemei said this in her heart.
However, she didn't dare say so.
"Mom, that's not what I meant. I just want to follow... and have fun..." Qian Yuemei said with a smile.
"Since that's not what you mean, just eat your meal obediently." Old Mrs. Su lowered her eyes and said.
"Yes, mother."
Although Qian Yuemei couldn't eat and felt like she was being scratched by a cat, she didn't dare to say anything.
After a while, the meal was over.
Mrs. Su and Zhang Maiya rushed to wash the pots and dishes, while Qian Yuemei stood by symbolically.
Then he stood in the main room, listening to the movements in the inner room from time to time.
"Okay, come in."
Old Mrs. Su's voice came from the inner room.
"Here I come, mother!"
Qian Yuemei's eyes lit up and she quickly lifted the curtain and walked in.
As soon as he entered the room, he gasped and his eyes widened.
On the kang table in the inner room, there were rows of silver ingots.
Compared with rows of ginseng, the shiny gold ingots have a greater visual impact.
