Chapter 114: Thank You
He didn't know who it would be.
The two men went back home and saw a guest in the main room.
He is an elderly man with completely white hair and beard, but he looks energetic, full of vigor and rosy complexion, giving the impression of a youthful appearance despite being white-haired.
Before Jiang Mixia could take a closer look at the other person and ask about his identity, Song Jingyun had already taken two steps back, his face changed drastically, "Madam, he, he, he is the strange man we met by the river earlier!"
"Young Master, do you still remember me?" Xun Yuanbai was a little excited and hurried over to greet him. "Young Master, you have a really good memory."
Don't come over here.
Song Jingyun took two steps back again, and when he retreated, he did not forget to pull Jiang Mixia with him.
This guy is weird. He only knows how to say weird things and he doesn't look like a good person.
That strange person? Jiang Mixia responded for a while, looking at Xun Yuanbo in front of him, "Are you, the Heavenly Master?"
"That's right," Xun Yuanbo nodded. He was afraid that others would not believe his identity if he came here rashly, so he took out a sign from his waist and showed it to Jiang Mixia and others.
There was a black sign with a big word "天" written on it, surrounded by complex patterns such as auspicious clouds. The sign was glowing with a faint luster and looked quite solid and heavy.
This kind of brand doesn't look like a common item, but rather something that only officials have.
"But young lady, you don't have to address me like that. In front of your husband, my title as a Heavenly Master is simply not worth mentioning."
Xun Yuanbai chuckled and said, "My last name is Xun, and I used to be a teacher. If you don't mind, you can call me Master Xun."
"Hello, Master Xun." Jiang Mixia raised her eyebrows slightly, her face full of vigilance, "I wonder what brings you to my humble home, Master Xun?"
"I came to say thank you."
Xun Yuanbai stroked his gray beard and said, "Thank you for saving my life, young master."
Life-saving grace?
Jiang Mixia's family was all stunned.
Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun, in particular, looked at each other.
"I don't remember saving you." Song Jingyun now realized that Xun Yuanbo was not a strange person but a heavenly master. He felt a little relieved and said boldly.
But that day, Master Xun kept pestering him and asked him for help. Song Jingyun was nervous and scared at the time and did not agree at all.
Since he didn't agree, how could he have saved Master Xun?
"Young Master, you are really too modest." Xun Yuanbai's smile grew even wider. "I listened to your words that day and found a way to solve the problem. Now I have dealt with all the difficulties and got out of it. Didn't you save my life?"
Seeing that Song Jingyun still had a confused look on his face, as if he didn't understand what he was saying, Xun Yuanbo had some vague guesses in his mind at this time.
Could it be that what the young man said to him that day was not intentional? If that was the case...
Xun Yuanbai gave the young master a thumbs up again.
The son of luck is the son of luck. Even if you don’t help him intentionally, just a casual word is enough to save his life.
"But..." Song Jingyun was still a little hesitant.
My wife said that there is no reward without merit, so he cannot take the credit for something he has not done.
"No matter what the reason is, whether it was intentional or unintentional, you are my savior. This is a foregone conclusion, and you can't deny it even if you want to."
Xun Yuanbai smiled and said, "Since I want to repay the young master for saving my life, I have also prepared a few things this time. I hope the young master and the young lady can accept them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy in blue clothes beside him had already opened the brocade boxes piled on the ground one by one.
"This piece of jade is the Qingbai jade from the Hetian jade. Although everyone respects mutton-fat white jade now, Qingbai jade with such a smooth texture is even less common than mutton-fat white jade. It is also large in size, so it can barely be considered presentable."
"These two pieces of brocade were given by the emperor before. I never liked to wear them, so I kept them. Now that the patterns are fresh, they would be very nice to give to the young master and the young lady."
"This pair of blue-and-white glazed Ruyi vases was given to the Emperor's elder brother Prince Fu when he was in trouble. They are exquisite products from the imperial kiln and can be used to arrange flowers."
"There are also various boxes of medicinal herbs, such as ginseng, deer antlers, and ganoderma. I don't quite remember who gave them to me, but they look precious, so I took some of them and gave them to the young master and the young lady."
Jiang Youcheng and Liu's eyes widened when they saw the things spread all over the floor, all of which were top-quality goods.
It took Jiang Mixia a while to close her mouth which was slightly open due to surprise.
Judging from the situation, the identity of Master Xun is probably true.
And looking at his extremely eager look, it was true that he wanted to come to express his gratitude.
But collecting so many things at once...
Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia both declined.
Xun Yuanbai naturally insisted on sending them off, and at the end, he even said, "Young Master, you saved my life. Could it be that these things are not as valuable as my life?"
Having said that, it would be a bit unreasonable if I still don’t accept these things.
After discussion, Jiang Mixia's family decided to temporarily accept these things, but they also had to give Xun Yuanbo some gifts in return.
As farmers, they don’t have much to give back, so they can only give some local specialties.
He was given two exquisite and beautiful vases made in the bamboo weaving workshop. Looking at Xun Yuanbai's appearance, he seemed to go out frequently, so he was also given two waterproof bags. In addition, he was given two sets of newly-made tea cups in the porcelain kiln workshop.
Finally, they felt that it was not enough, so Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun discussed and decided to dig up two pots of flowers and plants in the yard and give them to Xun Yuanbai.
Since he is a heavenly master and likes to travel around on weekdays, I think his personality must be extraordinary and he should be quite fond of the flowers and plants in these valleys.
As it turned out, Jiang Mixia's move was indeed what he wanted.
When Xun Yuanbai heard that Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun wanted to give him flowers and plants, he nodded excitedly at first, and then followed the couple to the yard to choose.
After all, these are flowers and plants growing in the young man’s home. Maybe they were planted by him himself and he waters them every day.
Such flowers and plants must have absorbed all the luck of the young man. Just placing one of them at home, even if it cannot bring good luck, can at least ward off evil spirits!
Xun Yuanbai thought so at first, but when he carefully looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, his mouth opened wide and he couldn't close it for a long time.
Jiang Mixia was a little surprised to see Xun Yuanbo like this, "But the things here are all ordinary things. Is there nothing that Master Xun would like?"
The author always writes the article for the next day on the first day, so that he can update it at a fixed time. But because I was busy at work and at home yesterday, I didn’t have time to write, so I didn’t write yesterday. I wrote it today. The update is a little late. Sorry...
I'm still writing it. The second chapter will be uploaded later, probably around 10pm. If I'm lucky and don't have work, it may be uploaded earlier~ (End of this chapter)
