With three elders watching over him, Yuan Jing was forced to lie in bed and recuperate for five whole days. He was not allowed to get out of bed until Doctor Yao came to confirm that he could get out of bed. During these five days, he had to read books secretly because the old lady felt that her grandson had a head injury and of course he could not use his brain during these days.
Fortunately, there were five days of transition, which allowed Yuan Jing to digest what his original body had learned and make it his own. Although his soul power had increased, Yuan Jing could not guarantee that he could achieve higher achievements than his original body. He could do research, but he might not be good at studying, taking the imperial examinations, and becoming an official.
But he can't live a worse life than his original incarnation, right? How can that be called completing his original incarnation's life?
After being able to get out of bed, Yuan Jing quickly put on his schoolbag and went to school. Tao Dayong sent him there personally. He was afraid that his son would be tired on the way, so he carried him all the way to the school and handed him over to the teacher personally. He had asked for leave from the teacher because of his injury. The teacher was also very worried. This was a student he had high hopes for. If his brain was really damaged, who would he find to compensate him with another smart student?
"Dad is gone. Study hard with the teacher in school. Wait for dad to pick you up next night." Tao Dayong reminded worriedly.
"I understand, Dad. I will be good." After five days, Yuan Jing was forced to get used to his current age and acted well when necessary.
Seeing his son waving at him obediently, Tao Dayong was satisfied and full of energy. He turned around and looked for work in the town. He wanted to earn more money to buy paper, pens and books for his son, and to prepare money for the exam in the future. Didn't that damn girl Tao Erya want to harm his son? He wanted Tao Erya to watch his son's glory but not get any of it, so that she would regret it to death.
This idea is the same as Yuan Jing's, they are indeed father and son.
Compared with the eldest son Tao Dazhui, Tao Dayong, who is favored by the old lady, is much more flexible than the honest Tao Dazhui. He always thinks that his son is like himself. It was just that the Tao family did not have the money to send him to school, otherwise he might still be a peasant. As long as there was no work in the fields, he would run to the town and county when he had time, and he could always bring back some money home.
Master Chen tested Yuan Jing and found that not only did Yuan Jing not lose any lessons, but he also made some progress compared to before the injury. He was extremely pleased. It seemed that his head was not damaged, which was good.
After returning home that day, Yuan Jing remembered something. The ginseng he brought back that day was not discovered by anyone. Later, he was worried that it would be discovered and fall into the family property when it was divided, so he locked it in a box. He didn't want to give Tao Erya a single cent. He was so stingy.
After dinner, Yuan Jing ran back to the house and took out the rewrapped ginseng. Then he ran into the main room, put the things on the table, and said, "Grandma, Dad and Mom, I actually got another good thing in the mountains that day, but I forgot to take it out these days."
Seeing her grandson jumping around again, Mrs. Song felt much better. She had always had a loud voice, but she tried to speak softly to her grandson: "What good things are you talking about? Oh, grandma's precious grandson is going to honor grandma."
Yuan Jing couldn't help blushing. Considering how much Song doted on her grandson, she should be thankful that she wasn't spoiled.
"Grandma, look." Yuan Jing stopped talking and opened it to show them.
There is a saying that goes, "You've never eaten pork, but you've never seen a pig run." Although they had never seen a complete ginseng, when they saw this thing, Song, Xiao Song, and Tao Dayong all gasped.
"Ginseng? Dayong, I'm sure you're not mistaken, is this really ginseng?"
"Mom, you are not mistaken, it is really ginseng. Our Jingbao is so lucky. No wonder Doctor Yao said that misfortune can be turned into good fortune. Our Jingbao's luck has come."
"Oh, let grandma hug you. Our Jingbao is definitely very lucky." Song hugged her grandson into her arms and cried out in pain. What else could Yuan Jing do? He could only accept his grandma's love.
After Mrs. Song had felt pained, little Mrs. Song took her son away and pampered him. Yuan Jing was terrified by the big belly, especially when it moved. The little person inside kicked him. Yuan Jing was extremely surprised. This was his younger brother, in three lifetimes, and perhaps it was the first time that he would welcome a new life like this.
"Mom, what should I do with this ginseng?"
"Jingbao, you decide." Song asked Yuanjing to make the decision, as the things were originally brought back by Yuanjing.
Three pairs of eyes were focused on Yuan Jing, which made Yuan Jing feel quite pressured. He said with a stiff upper lip: "Let Dad take it to the county pharmacy to ask? It should be able to exchange some silver. My studies cost a lot of money, and Mom is about to give birth to a little brother."
"Okay, I'll listen to Jingbao. Our Jingbao is sensible."
Little Song said happily: "Jingbao, is the baby in my belly really a little brother?"
Yuan Jing then realized that this was not something he should know. However, there is a saying that children have the sharpest eyes and can see the babies in adults' bellies. Even though he is eight years old now, he should still be considered a child.
So Yuan Jing nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it's a younger brother. Mother will give me a younger brother."
The three adults were all happy because they were going to have another baby, a boy at that. In that era, of course the more sons the better.
Yuan Jing also thinks that boys are better. It's not that he favors boys over girls, it's just the social trend. Moreover, he is destined not to get married and have children, so it is necessary to have a younger brother to complete this important task for him. So, brother, I will look after you in the future.
The next day, after Tao Dayong sent Yuan Jing to the school in the town, he hurried to the county. If he walked faster, he could still catch up to pick up Yuan Jing and take him home.
On the way, his son also told him that this ginseng was fifty or sixty years old. This made Tao Dayong know that he would not be cheated by the guys in the pharmacy. His son was smart. He could recognize ginseng and knew how to tell the age of ginseng.
He had the same idea as Yuan Jing. Fortunately, the ginseng was not exposed before the division of the family, otherwise he would have to give his eldest brother a share. Thinking that the money would also have to be used on Tao Erya, Tao Dayong felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, his son was smart and waited until now to take it out. In fact, he didn't know that Yuan Jing really forgot about it.
Tao Dayong asked two pharmacies, and only took out the ginseng hidden in his arms when he went to the third one. The old doctor's eyes lit up when he saw it: "Who processed it? This ginseng was processed very well, and each root is intact."
Tao Dayong was proud: "My son treated it. My son read a few medical books and can treat his own injuries."
The old doctor smiled and didn't take Tao Dayong's boasting too seriously. He was in a good mood when he found good ginseng. He gestured with his hands and said, "How about this? I'm looking for good ginseng recently. How about I give you this price?"
"Eighty taels?" Tao Dayong's voice was faint.
"That's right. If you find good ginseng like this again, please send it to me. I will definitely not let you down. Our pharmacy is a time-honored brand. You can ask around in the county and find out."
This was true. Tao Dayong had inquired about this before he came here. He could not contain his joy and said to the old doctor, "Then I'll do as you say. I'll give you the ginseng."
When Tao Dayong left the pharmacy with eighty taels of silver, he felt unreal. When had he ever received so much silver? Even his family had never saved so much silver. This was all brought by his beloved son Yuan Jing. He was indeed a blessed man.
Tao Dayong was afraid of being targeted, so he did not stay in the county and rushed back. Only when he saw his son coming out of the school gate did he feel relieved. He happily went over, picked up his son, and laughed non-stop.
Seeing the look in his father's eyes, Yuan Jing knew that the ginseng was sold at a good price. He was also happy, thinking that his father was very vigilant, which was called not showing off one's wealth.
After saying goodbye to the teacher and walking back when there was no one around, Tao Dayong quietly told his son how much money he got from the sale.
He gestured the number "eight" with his hands: "Eighty taels! Jingbao, you didn't expect this, right? Now that your brother is born, he can be well taken care of. Jingbao can study however he wants in the future."
Yuan Jing was also quite surprised. He was not clear about the price of ginseng in this time and space. He knew before that the price of ginseng would fluctuate greatly in different dynasties or different periods of the same dynasty. It could range from a few taels of silver to dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver or hundreds of gold. The price of ginseng in this dynasty must be on the high side, because this is still a small county town, and the price will only be higher if it is taken outside.
"Dad, you, mom and grandma should eat better. When I pass the exam and become an official, you can enjoy life with me. Dad, you have to believe that there are eighty taels of silver this time, and maybe there will be more silver next time." Yuan Jing advised. Although he secretly put the spiritual spring water into the water tank at home, he always felt that the spiritual spring water was not omnipotent. If the foundation was poor, it still had to be made up.
"Hey, Dad, I'll listen to Jingbao." Tao Dayong was really content to have a son and would obey his son in everything.
After the father and son returned, Mrs. Song and Little Mrs. Song were happy again. Of course, the silver was given to the head of the family, Mrs. Song, to keep. However, Tao Dayong also mentioned what Yuan Jing said about the whole family eating well and keeping healthy. Mrs. Song's eyes turned red when she heard it, and she kept saying that her eldest grandson was filial.
None of them told anyone about it and they just kept their fortune quiet. However, from that day on, in addition to Xiao Song and Yuan Jing being able to eat eggs regularly, Song and Tao Dayong also started eating them, and occasionally they would have a meal of fine grains and bring back some meat.
With the spiritual spring water, the family's complexion has improved significantly and is no longer sallow.
After the ginseng issue was resolved, Yuan Jing no longer had to worry about money for the time being, and he used the same concentration he had previously put into research to study. His self-control was much stronger than before, and so Master Chen saw his progress in a short period of time, and liked him even more. Perhaps this student could go further on the basis of being a scholar.
In his first life, Yuan Jing learned Chinese medicine from his master and read many ancient books. Later, he searched all the old books he could find while making medicine. Therefore, traditional Chinese characters were not a problem for him at all, and his foundation in calligraphy was better than his original body. Therefore, he picked up the skill quickly, and as he read day after day, he quickly immersed himself in the art.
Maybe he has no other advantages except that he loves what he does and focuses on it. His goal in this life is to enter the officialdom through the imperial examination.
Yuan Jing was so focused on studying that he forgot about his enemy Tao Erya.
But Tao Erya hated Yuan Jing with a vengeance. The harder her life became, the more she hated Yuan Jing, because in her opinion, Yuan Jing was the culprit who made her life miserable.
Later, she defended herself by saying that she didn't do it, but the nosy women in the village really went to ask Feng Goudan, and Feng Goudan of course honestly answered that he saw Tao Erya taking Tao Yuanjing into the mountains that day. Now no one in the village doubted Tao Yuanjing's words anymore, and they all told their children to avoid Tao Erya when they saw her in the future and never get close to her. Who knows if this vicious girl would want to harm others again.
Of course, it would be a month before Tao Erya could go out. Now she could only lie in bed, enduring the pain in her body. She hated her father, her elder sister, her mother, and even her younger brother. If they had really tried to stop their father, would she have been beaten so badly? It was not like Tao Yuanjing was dead. Why didn't he come back safely?
Even though Tao Daya and Tao Sanya protected Tao Erya on the day of the accident, how could they not have resentment towards her? Before their younger brother was born, they loved and respected their cousin as their younger brother (older brother). Even after their younger brother was born, their minds did not change much. Tao Daya thought more because she was already twelve years old this year and was about to get engaged. Not only would she lose the support of her scholar cousin, but she would also be implicated by Tao Erya's reputation.
Tao Daya was already depressed, and now she is even more depressed. She knows that with this incident, it will be even more difficult for her to find a good marriage. Who would believe that she and her second sister have different personalities?
Tao Sanya treated Tao Yuanjing as her biological brother and often followed Tao Yuanjing around in the past. When she suddenly heard that her second sister wanted to harm Tao Yuanjing, she couldn't accept it. One was her second sister and the other was her cousin, both were her relatives, how could they become enemies?
"Sister, what do you think second sister is thinking? Why did he do that?" The atmosphere at home was depressing. San Ya quietly went to talk to her eldest sister. She was young and couldn't keep these words in her heart.
Tao Daya touched the head of the third sister lovingly and sighed, "Big sister can't figure it out either, and I think the second sister... doesn't seem to repent. Big brother has never let us down, and treats us sisters much better than other boys. Third sister," Daya thought of the purest Sanya and warned, "Don't believe everything your second sister says to you in the future. Tell big sister if there is anything. If it really doesn't work, let our parents take care of it. If that doesn't work... go find grandma and big brother."
Tao Sanya didn't quite understand what was said, but she kept it in mind. Anyway, she would not play with her second sister anymore. She didn't like her second sister like that. Moreover, there were a few times when her second sister looked at her with a look that scared her, as if she wanted to eat her.
Tao Sanya didn't know that just because Tao Sanya also became an official's wife in her previous life, but Tao Erya was extremely miserable, Yuan Jing also hated Tao Sanya. In the plot that Yuan Jing accepted, Tao Sanya's ending was not good. In the end, she was tortured to death by her in-laws. Tao Erya even shed a few crocodile tears, saying that she had a bad life.
"You silly girl, where have you been? Can't you see that your brother is in trouble? Why don't you try to comfort him? When you get married in the future, your brother will be your only support. If you don't treat him well now, how can he support you in the future?" Wang changed her behavior from the Tao family and scolded her daughter.
Tao Daya and Tao Sanya ran away quickly. The days of separation were not as good as those in the big house. Their mother was more vicious than before.
Tao Erya's head was about to explode from the noise. She was already in pain all over her body, and now it felt even more uneasy. But she could only endure it now, otherwise her mother would find an excuse to beat her up again, and she would have to stay in bed for two more days.
Perhaps the only comfort in Tao Erya's heart at this moment is her husband Yan Rushong, whom she married for the second time in her previous life. After being reborn, Tao Erya will certainly not let herself become a remarried woman. She wants to marry her husband in a dignified manner and become his legal wife. She wants to send that vicious woman to hell and make her suffer the pain of having her tongue pulled out. If it weren't for the vicious woman, why wouldn't her husband dare to come to her room? In the end, it was she who killed her. This time, she must avenge her life.
Her husband must love her, otherwise why would he let her get close to him and enter his backyard? In this life, she also wants to give birth to children for her husband.
As for Huang Congchun and his mother, she would never let this family have an easy life. All those who bullied her in the last life would be paid back in this life.
Originally, she wanted to be filial to her father, but her father did not listen to her explanation and beat her so hard that she could not get out of bed. In this life, she could never expect to be filial to her either her father or her mother.
Tao Erya hated it.
When Tao Erya finally got up and could walk out the door, she was greeted with endless work. Tao Erya made Wang Shi so embarrassed that she wanted to strangle this damn girl, so she ordered her around like crazy.
Although Tao Erya was a concubine before her death, she had maids serving her, so she didn't need to do this kind of work, which made her very uncomfortable. But as soon as she opened her mouth to resist, Wang slapped her in the face, making her dare not say anything and had to work honestly.
Tao Jinbao had pooped again, so of course it was Tao Erya who went to wash the diaper. Tao Erya went out with the wooden basin in disgust. The villagers pointed at her when they saw her, and the children threw mud at her from a distance, shouting, "You evil spirit, come out, evil spirit!"
Tao Erya almost bit her teeth to pieces. Damn Tao Yuanjing! She wanted to kill Tao Yuanjing alive, so why didn't he just die? If he died in the mountains, nothing would happen.
For some reason, Tao Erya vaguely felt that her life should not be like this, and she should not suffer so much. She intuitively felt that all this was related to Tao Yuanjing.
On the way home that day, Yuan Jing did not let Tao Dayong carry him on his back, but walked with him by himself, saying that it was for exercise. In fact, he wanted to go to and from school alone, but Tao Dayong did not allow him to do so, and Mrs. Song and Little Mrs. Song did not dare to do so either, so Yuan Jing had to continue this pick-up and drop-off relationship.
"Dad, what did you say? Tao Erya ran away?" Yuan Jing was shocked when he heard his father's words, but on second thought, it was in line with Tao Erya's personality.
Tao Dayong touched his son's head and became more cautious when he felt a scar on the back. He said, "Yes, Dad was working in town and was called back to the village to help find someone. Someone in the village saw it and said that Tao Erya walked out of the village alone. This happened last night. She left quietly at night. Later, your aunt found out that Tao Erya had stolen the silver in the house."
"Dad went back to town and asked around. He really found out that someone saw a little girl following a caravan. The caravan passed by our area, but no one knew where it was going."
God!
Yuan Jing couldn't help but admire Tao Erya's courage. She was a ten-year-old girl, although skinny, she was pretty, otherwise she wouldn't have become the heroine. But she dared to run away alone in this era. If it were him, he would not easily take this path unless he was forced into a desperate situation.
