Tian Lao Er said, "This is a wild deer that my third brother hunted on the mountain. If the general doesn't mind, please keep it and have a taste."
How could General Cui not know that they had come to express their gratitude for his demotion?
But he wanted to be on good terms with the Tian family, so he thanked them, "Thank you, Second Brother, Third Brother, and Fourth Brother!"
This form of address subtly brings them closer.
Although Tian Lao Er and the others were flattered, they were also delighted.
They left General Cui a deer and a sheep, and planned to take the rest back. They didn't hide from General Cui why they were taking them back.
Tian Lao Er said he wanted to use the money for Lao Si's schooling.
When General Cui heard that Tian Laosi was going to study, he thought it was great news and casually asked him a few questions, learning that he was going to the North and South Academy.
He immediately asked Yang Zhao to fetch a few books from his study, saying, "These are the books I read when I entered the North-South Academy."
"It should be useful to you."
Upon hearing that General Cui had also studied at the North-South Academy, Tian Laosi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked him about the examination style of the North-South Academy.
General Cui answered with a smile.
General Cui is not only skilled in martial arts, but also remarkable in literature.
He took the entrance exam when the North-South Academy was first established ten years ago and was admitted with the highest score.
Tian Laosi listened with envy and resolved to work hard.
After chatting for a while, General Cui asked them if they were going back to Anping Village, as he also wanted to visit Anping Village.
They continued talking as they walked back.
The Tian family.
When they returned, it was nearly noon.
Grandma Tian and her daughters-in-law were selling pig offal in the yard.
Tian Guoguo was looking at a wooden box by the yard. After being sent home by her grandmother yesterday, Tian Guoguo used her mind to enter the space and look at the vegetables, livestock, and zombie worms inside.
When Qian Bao went to the deep forest with General Cui, Tian Guoguo gave him a zombie worm and asked him to put the zombie worm in a circle on the stone mill.
The cave deep in the forest was indeed discovered by Lord Black.
General Cui's personal guards waited there for a month without any results.
He then brought everyone back with him. Qian Bao also successfully ran the zombie worm around the stone mill.
Tian Guoguo gave the zombie worms medicine in advance.
The zombie worms were not killed by the poison this time.
These past few days, she has been studying the changes in the zombie worms.
Moreover, she had already discovered something fishy.
But after all that fuss, she forgot to open the wooden box Xie Shuyan had given her.
Xie Shuyan came to see her again today.
She then remembered.
At the same time, she also saw Xie Shuyan's small hands covered in scars.
First, he took out some medicine from his spatial storage and applied it to Xie Shuyan's skin before taking out the wooden box and opening it.
Xie Shuyan was overjoyed when his wife applied the medicine to him.
I was already thinking to myself that I wasn't going to wash my hands tonight!
The rectangular wooden box contained a silver hairpin.
The silver hairpin has the same design as the wooden hairpin from last time, featuring mandarin ducks. However, this silver hairpin is inlaid with two apple patterns carved from luminous stones.
I won't talk about the workmanship this time.
So, Xie Shuyan is going to give her both of the luminous stones he found in the cave?
But this is too expensive.
She then said, "With such excellent carving skills, you can carve the luminous stone into patterns you like and sell them."
"You're sure to make a lot of money!"
Xie Shuyan was slightly taken aback.
The little guy was clearly very sensitive; upon hearing his wife say that, he assumed she didn't like the gift he gave her.
His narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes furrowed.
His head drooped. "Wife, you...don't you like it?"
Tian Guoguo quickly explained, "No, I think you can sell it and make money so you can buy things you like."
Tian Guoguo didn't want to take advantage of him.
But Xie Shuyan overheard: Oh, so your wife likes money.
Then he'll sell it!
Moreover, it was sold in a single second on the spot.
General Cui and Tian Lao Er and the others had just entered the door and hadn't even had a chance to greet each other when Xie Shuyan stopped them.
"General, this is for you."
Note that the word used here is "to give" not "to send".
General Cui didn't realize what was happening.
Looking at the luminous stone in Xie Shuyan's hand, he was so excited that tears almost welled up in his eyes.
He quickly took it and was about to thank them.
Xie Shuyan spoke first, "One thousand taels."
General Cui…
The people present…
General Cui thought he might be able to negotiate a lower price, and said with a smile, "Um, Shuyan, is your price...?"
He was about to ask if it was too high...
Xie Shuyan spoke again, "Then the 2,000 taels!" General Cui...
If he speaks again, will the price go up to 3,000 taels?
Although, this thing is indeed valuable.
But Old Cui wasn't some sucker with money to burn, so he quickly agreed, "Okay, deal!"
This time, it was Xie Shuyan's turn to feel that something was wrong.
General Cui responded so quickly, is it because he lost money?
never mind.
However, he found it.
Moreover, 2,000 taels is no small sum. An ordinary family couldn't earn that much money in several lifetimes. Be content!
General Cui accepted the goods on the spot.
The full amount was settled with Xie Shuyan on the spot.
This left everyone present in disbelief, and even Ding Zhaodi, who happened to be carrying water, was stunned for a long time.
But at the same time.
Ding Zhaodi was also the quickest to react.
While everyone was still in shock and disbelief, she immediately ran over and snatched the 2,000 taels of silver notes from Xie Shuyan's hand.
"Oh my, son, you're so amazing!"
Holding the silver notes in both hands, she felt like she was sparkling with excitement.
Xie Shuyan was about to give the banknotes to his wife.
Suddenly snatched by his mother, his already dull little car head froze for a moment before he reacted and tried to grab it back.
His mother then gave him a kiss on the forehead!
If before the age of 5...
Xie Shuyan also longed to be loved by his mother. He would be very happy to be praised by his mother and kissed on the forehead!
But now…
Although he is only 8 years old, he has already grown up!
He no longer needed his mother's praise, or even being kissed by her...
He also felt a bit nauseous!
He actually ran to the side and started dry heaving.
Ding Zhaodi…
This is the worst kind of social media frenzy.
Feeling a bit better, Xie Shuyan took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped the spot where his mother had just kissed him.
This really embarrassed Ding Zhaodi immensely.
But whether it's embarrassing or not doesn't matter, what matters is the votes!
Ding Zhaodi immediately tried to put the silver note into her pocket.
Everyone present had a dark expression, but she was indeed Xie Shuyan's mother. Her son was giving money to his mother, and no one could say anything about it.
Everyone could only watch helplessly.
Fortunately, Xie Shuyan had already finished wiping her forehead and quickly ran back to snatch it away. Ding Zhaodi was completely dumbfounded when she managed to snatch it away.
Where are her votes?
By the time she realized what was happening, her son had already given the banknotes to Tian Guoguo.
Tian Guoguo didn't want Xie Shuyan's money.
But then she heard Ding Zhaodi cursing and trying to snatch the money again. She immediately stuffed the small amount of money into her pocket and called out to Uncle Cui.
General Cui cooperated, quickly stepping forward to pick him up.
Yang Zhao quickly ran over and stood in front of Xie Shuyan. Just as Ding Zhaodi was about to pounce, he kicked her.
Ding Zhaodi was kicked half a meter away.
A wave of pain washed over Ding Zhaodi, and she felt completely overwhelmed. Neither her son nor any of the villagers present offered her any comfort.
This infuriated her.
After a while, the pain in my body lessened, and the dizziness in my head also lessened...
