Chapter 212 The Little Beggar Who Got the Treasure
Moreover, Mr. Shen also asked someone to send some clothes to Tang Erlang.
Only four sets were delivered the day before, and in the following days, more than thirty sets were delivered as they were made.
There are beautiful and luxurious ones, warm and comfortable ones, and some that look inconspicuous at first glance but are actually very luxurious. You have to collect them.
In fact, Tang Erlang is now immersed in the sea of books, like a little beggar who has suddenly obtained countless treasures. He has no time to go out.
Privately, the elder also talked with him: "In fact, many people in the underworld act in a very interesting way. They have their taboos, but as long as they don't violate the taboos, they are much more straightforward and lovely than the literati."
Tang Erlang smiled and said, "They are all very interesting."
He had been ill for a long time when he was young, and he developed a habit of observing people and pondering them slowly in his mind. Human nature is indeed a very interesting and ponderable thing, and one never gets tired of observing it.
Even the elder was amused by him.
Whether in the marketplace or in the arena of power, feeling fear, boredom or even excitement is not the best, and is harmful to your health. Only this kind of "interesting" outsider state is the best state.
The best thing about Tang Erlang is that he is smart but not conceited. He never shows off his intelligence and never does anything unnecessary, which is very rare.
The elder smiled and said, "Your senior brother will be here soon, you two should get along well."
When talking about his senior brother, Tang Erlang couldn't help but twitch his lips.
He just asked and found out that the eldest senior brother’s name was Liang Shen.
It was also when I became his disciple that my master gave me the name Ruoxu, Liang Ruoxu.
This word comes from "Records of the Grand Historian" which says "A good merchant hides his wealth."
It means to hide something precious and pretend that it does not exist. It is used to describe people who have real talent but do not like to show off.
His second senior brother was named Cheng Gong, and his master gave him the courtesy name Fuju.
Fu Ju, Bu Ju, sounds like nothing at first, but his last name is Cheng! ! His name is Chenggong! ! Gong Cheng Fu Ju comes from Tao Te Ching, which means that he has made achievements but does not attribute the credit to himself... The meaning of this word can be understood in reverse, although I never take credit, but I am successful every day?
So Tang Erlang regretted. He regretted why he didn't ask the name when Yan Shenjue mentioned it.
Even if you only ask for the name, you can guess the temperament of the elder from this super consistent style! ! The eldest brother Liang Ruoxu, once served in the Ministry of Personnel, the head of the six ministries, and was promoted to the position of Shangshu, a dignified second-rank official! !
Now that he has angered the emperor, he has been demoted to Longmen County as a small county magistrate...
Tang Erlang asked, "Why was Senior Brother demoted?"
The elder said calmly: "The court is intricately connected, and every matter is not a simple one. It is too complicated to talk about it, and it is useless for you to listen to it now... In fact, the biggest problem of the court today is four words: the son is older and the father is stronger."
Tang Erlang nodded slowly.
It has been thirty years now. The current emperor is over fifty years old and has been in power for exactly thirty years.
People nowadays get married very early, especially those in the royal family. However, the current emperor got married three years before having his eldest son. He loved him like a treasure and made him the crown prince after he ascended the throne.
But the prince is now thirty-six years old, and the emperor is still strong and healthy. It seems that he can still serve for another twenty years. The prince is unlikely to live longer than his father, so he will definitely not be able to sit still.
The elder whispered, "Speaking of which, the prince's health is really not as good as the emperor's. The emperor was skilled in archery and horse riding in the past, and he can still draw a strong bow now, but the prince is only in his thirties and is out of breath even when climbing a mountain. If he is not good at martial arts, he would be good at literature, but he is not good at literature. The best thing about him is his status as the eldest son. The second prince is ten years younger than the prince. This was originally a big disadvantage, but now it has become a big advantage. There are still three, four, five, six, and seven behind him... The youngest seventh prince is only twelve, not too old, not too young, ha... In short, it's very lively!"
Tang Erlang asked, "Who does the master like?"
The elder said with a tut: "What do you mean I favor someone? I favor no one! How can I favor anyone? You deserve to be beaten for saying that!"
He flicked his forehead.
Tang Erlang apologized with a smile, but he knew what was going on in his mind.
Although Master's words seemed casual, they actually covered everything. He didn't favor anyone, which meant that these princes were probably not very capable.
But these things are still too far away from him, he hasn't even stepped into the threshold!
Tang Erlang smiled and said, "Master, I'm going to study."
The elder nodded.
Tang Erlang turned and left. The old man smiled and glanced at his back, then picked up the teapot, thought of something, was absent-minded for a while, and shook his head.
In Yutang Village.
Xinbao is still intent on developing a hundred ways to eat peanut sprouts, but Doctor Yuanshen can't wait any longer and urges her to grow the medicine.
Xinbao asked him patiently, "What medicine do you want?"
The divine doctor said: "I want all kinds of medicine!!"
Xinbao advised him, "There are too many to plant! Why don't you just plant the ones you like?"
Doctor Yuanshen said, "I like all kinds of medicine!" He also provided evidence: "Any medicine is useful when it is used for the right symptoms!! I like them all!"
Yan Shenjue couldn't listen any longer, who on earth was three and a half years old? !
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
He said, "Xinbao, ignore him, plant whatever you want."
Doctor Yuan protested: "Why?"
Yan Shenjue said calmly: "You are so unreliable."
"Stop quarreling! No quarreling!" Xinbao raised his hand to block the two of them, with the demeanor of a great general.
Then she said, "Many things can be grown in the greenhouse, such as saffron, ginseng, gastrodia, ganoderma, dendrobium, burdock, codonopsis..."
Yan Shenjue was surprised and asked, "Can ginseng and ganoderma be grown?"
Doctor Yuan was also surprised and asked, "What is Codonopsis pilosula?"
Xinbao was stunned.
So there is no Codonopsis pilosula now?
She blinked her big eyes and answered Yan Shenjue first: "It can be planted."
He replied to Doctor Yuan: "It is also a kind of ginseng. There is a kind of ginseng that is produced in a place called Shangdang, so it is called Shangdang ginseng, which is Codonopsis pilosula. Because the root has many protruding stem marks and bud marks, it is also called Lion's Head Ginseng."
Her voice was soft, her speech was a little slow, and she enunciated each word clearly.
The divine doctor asked, "What's the difference between this and ginseng?"
"The efficacy is similar, but Codonopsis is sweet and mild in nature, and its efficacy is milder, so it can be used instead of ginseng to treat mild symptoms. However, Codonopsis cannot replenish qi and save people from collapse, so it cannot be used as a substitute for this disease."
Doctor Yuanshen nodded slowly.
Even though he has unreliability written all over his body, his medical skills are definitely reliable. To a true miracle doctor, a little lighter or a little heavier can make a world of difference.
He said: "Then let's plant Codonopsis pilosula!!"
Xinbao Soul asked: "Do you have seeds?"
Divine Doctor: “…”
He looked at Yan Shenjue, who was unmoved. Doctor Yuan was very depressed: "What's the use of you! You don't do anything!! I'm going to find Da Yuan!"
He left angrily.
So Xinbao started to grow medicine for him.
