Zheng Ziping's mother caught him red-handed.
The woman had been helping her husband slaughter pigs for years; few could match her strength.
At this moment, Zheng Ziping was pinned to the ground.
"You want to die, don't you?"
"Come on, die before my eyes!"
"I'll make you eat shit!"
The woman simply pulled a bucket out from the side.
It contains waste material squeezed out from pig offal.
As soon as the bucket was opened, a stench hit the door.
Everyone simultaneously pinched their noses and took a step back.
The auntie picked up a ladle, scooped up a spoonful of waste, and poured it into Zheng Ziping's mouth.
ah?
Isn't this going too far?
They've already taken poison; shouldn't we take them to a hospital first?
What's the point of filling the container with pig manure?
The imperial physician in the procession covered his nose.
“Master, feeding pig manure is indeed feasible, but the best antidote is not pig manure.”
What is it?
Murong Yue also covered her nose and asked.
Ah Hao listened intently.
The imperial physician said in a low voice, "Human excrement, uh, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
hiss--
Ah Hao gave the imperial physician a reproachful look.
The imperial physician shrugged.
This kind of poison is also treated in the same way when taken to a medical clinic.
Murong Yue suddenly realized.
It turns out that administering feces can detoxify.
How did you add more useful knowledge?
No wonder the teacher said, "One is never too old to learn."
Zheng Ziping was caught off guard and was force-fed two scoops of pig manure.
He vomited with a "whoosh".
Now the environment smells even worse.
The woman, holding a bucket in each hand, exclaimed, "I wasted two of my ladlefuls, and now I have to waste two buckets of water!"
"Qing Kingdom is suffering from a severe drought, and instead of making any contribution, they're just dragging the country down."
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
Two buckets of water were poured over Zheng Ziping.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her son come back to life.
His tone softened.
"I'm asking you, do you like the daughter of that pharmacy owner?"
Zheng Ziping's throat hurt so much that he couldn't make a sound.
I could only shake my head.
"So you're resenting your father and me for not giving you a betrothal gift?"
Zheng Ziping continued to shake his head.
"Your father isn't here, so you're doing this stunt because you feel ashamed of being rejected by your fiancé?"
Zheng Ziping hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Ha, what a promising young man!"
The woman turned and went back into the shop, slamming the cleaver onto the cutting board.
He shouted to those around him.
"I've made a spectacle of this for the villagers; I'm selling pork at a loss today!"
"Come on, come on, it's only for a short while, don't miss it!"
People looked at each other in bewilderment.
Watching the excitement doesn't guarantee you'll get real, tangible benefits.
Zheng Ziping vanished from the scene instantly; everyone was busy buying meat.
"Oh, give me five pounds!"
"I want ten pounds!"
"Two taels? I'll take two taels!"
"Boss lady, is lard also half price?"
...
Zheng Ziping looked at the crowd in front of him, but it seemed that no one was looking at him.
Yes, nobody cares whether they've been dumped or not.
I was so stupid.
To suffer this pain for nothing.
Seeing that Murong Yue and the others were still standing there, he felt a little embarrassed.
She returned to the shop with a blush on her face.
Pick up the broom and start cleaning.
That's disgusting.
That's disgusting.
This is disgusting. I hope my parents won't abandon me.
Waaaaah—
It was dark, so everyone could only smell the odors and couldn't see the specific scene clearly.
No one vomited on the spot.
Murong Yue put her hands behind her head and strolled back to her residence.
Ignore the faint odor in the air.
"Ah Hao, is the betrothal gift very important?"
Ah Hao had never thought about this question before, but since His Majesty asked, she has started to think about it now.
"Since ancient times, marriage has been arranged by parents and matchmakers."
"If you can meet someone who admires you and has a harmonious family, then that's a match made in heaven."
"The groom's family gives the bride's family a betrothal gift, and the bride's family brings her dowry to her new home."
"In some families, the betrothal gifts are also sent back to the daughter."
"It can be considered as both families supporting the new home."
Hearing Ah Hao say it was a match made in heaven, Qi Yuan secretly straightened his chest.
At the same time, he was making plans in his mind.
If I were to marry Ah Hao, how much dowry would I have to give?
Ah-hao dislikes her parents, so it would be best if the betrothal gifts could be given directly to Ah-hao.
Then, apart from a little money to keep for himself, all the rest should be given to Ah Hao.
hey-hey.
Qi Yuan couldn't help but chuckle softly.
This attracted the attention of Murong Yue and Ahao, who turned to look at them.
Ah Hao ignored him and continued to explain things to His Majesty.
"However, the atmosphere in Huaizhou seems to be quite different."
"For families like butcher shops and clinics, it's quite common for betrothal gifts and dowries to be one or two hundred taels of silver."
"Three hundred taels is indeed a lot."
Ah Hao didn't say that three hundred taels was a lot.
The strength of each family is different. For those powerful families, it is common for a wedding to cost three thousand or thirty thousand taels of silver.
This was just a minor incident.
However, Murong Yue didn't want to eat anything that night.
I played a few random games of chess with Ah Hao, and then went to sleep.
The group entered the city the next day.
Huaicheng is larger than Luocheng.
You can tell just by looking at how magnificent the city gate is.
There were several squads of soldiers guarding the gate.
"Master, Huaicheng is quite impressive!"
Ah-Hao covered his eyes with his hands and looked up at the tall city gate.
With their official documents in hand, the group entered the city without incident.
Murong Yue decided to go for a walk.
The streets in the city are wide, and the shops are all built taller than the last.
People were dressed neatly, each one more elegant than the last.
Fabrics that are considered precious even in the capital are readily available here.
