Chapter 153
The father and daughter went up the mountain again, this time they walked a little farther, this time it doesn't matter, Xie Rongzhao doesn't need to remind, Xie Xiuwen found something good by himself.

There is actually ash on this mountain, and it is still a piece of ash.

Ash is easy to machine with cutting tools, burnishes well, and is resistant to decay.

Ash wood is mainly used to make luxury furniture, that is to say, it is only used by rich and noble families, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

Maybe it's because they can't afford it, and the people nearby don't read much, so they don't know this kind of tree at all. Even the previous owner probably didn't pay attention to it.

Xie Xiuwen couldn't help being a little excited this time, it really made him pick up a treasure.

"Baby, it's really thanks to you this time. The bark and fruit of this ash wood are medicinal materials, and black brown and blue dyes can also be extracted. Absolutely good stuff! With such a piece of ash wood, this barren mountain can Not bad anymore."

This piece of ash tree grows on the higher side, at the back of the dilapidated house, ordinary buyers come over, and they don't even bother to go to this location.

Otherwise, Xie Xiuwen couldn't let Xie Xiuwen pick it up.

"Father, is ash expensive?"

"Well, it's really not cheap to make furniture. Don't worry, Dad won't sell it all by then, so I have to keep it for your dowry."

Xie Rongzhao blushed, she was only six years old!

"Father, there are so many trees of the same type, and you can't see the ends."

"Yes, that's why Dad said we found the treasure. When I turn around, I'll have someone circle the bottom and let Zhu Weng guard the mountain gate. If it doesn't work, I'll arrange a few more strong laborers to patrol the mountain so that I don't need to take these good things again." Spoiled."

Zhu Weng is the old man who lost a leg.

After the two walked for a while, they found that the target was still the ash tree. Xie Xiuwen couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Baby, are these the good things you're talking about?"

Xie Rongzhao tilted his head and thought for a while: "Well, it seems to be, but I think there is still something there, Dad will accompany me to dig."

Xie Xiuwen even went up the mountain with her, so what is there to be reluctant about?
This time, the two dug up two more ginsengs, but they were smaller than the ones dug in the morning, and they should be around a hundred years old.

Xie Rongzhao felt strange in her heart, she felt that the good thing she felt before should not be ginseng, but now that feeling faded again, could it be that the good thing she felt would move by itself?

Ginseng is fine?
The thought startled her herself!
Tomorrow he had to go to Weixinhou's Mansion, so Xie Xiuwen urged Fang Hu to walk faster, and finally entered the city before the city gate was closed.

Fang Hu arranged everything properly, as for repairing the house, he had to wait until next year.

The winter in the north is very cold, and the soil in some places is frozen and hard.

"Master, we sent Zhu Weng all the things we purchased earlier to protect against the cold. In addition, according to what you said, I left [-] yuan for Zhu Weng as an emergency."

Xie Xiuwen nodded: "Yes, you did a good job. With that food, it should be enough for them to survive the winter."

Fang Hu felt even more benevolent when he heard the words.

Today, I sent one hundred catties of coarse grains and fifty catties of fine grains to the grandparents. Not only the grains, but also a lot of salt and oil. Such a good master on the stall is also the grandson of the grandparents. luck.

Fang Hu felt that with such a master, he had to do things well. This is how much blessing he had accumulated in his previous life in exchange for such good luck.

Although they were demoted to slavery, but fortunately there is a good master now, and the wife no longer has to live in fear.

It was hard to get a peaceful life, but there should be no more mistakes.

The main reason why Zhao Yue posted this post was because he really missed Xiaoguaibao.

Zhao Yue himself has sons and daughters, but the children are afraid of him and never want to get close to him, even the children of relatives are afraid of him, so Xie Rongzhao who is not afraid of himself is particularly rare.

Moreover, Zhao Yue felt that none of his sons and daughters were more likable than a little boy.

Zhao Yuesheng's appearance is not bad, but his brows are sharp and his eyes are sharp, so often a look can make a five-year-old child cry.

Now people in Weixinhou's Mansion feel that it is rare for them to hear that he is going to entertain a little doll.

Zhao Yue's mother was relieved when she learned that it was a scholar she met when she went south to handle the case. She was afraid that someone would deliberately flatter her.

Xie Xiuwen didn't expect that Zhao Yue would openly send a horse-drawn carriage from the Hou Mansion to pick him up, which made Liu Ruolan deeply disturbed, fearing that there would be another Hongmen Banquet.

Strictly speaking, Zhao Yue's banquet was not quite like a banquet. No one else was invited, only Xie Xiuwen's family, and Zhao Yue's wife and children.

Zhao Yue doesn't have many sons and daughters, two sons and three daughters, this is very common for the sons and daughters of powerful families. There are seven or eight children, and all of them are close to each other, often several of the same age.

It was the first time in Xie Rongzhao's two lifetimes that he came to a noble compound like the Hou's Mansion, and he felt that everything was very new.

Liu Ruolan was originally worried that she would be looked down upon by the wives and ladies, but she did not expect that Mrs. Shi Zi was very polite to her throughout the whole process, and she didn't know if it was because of what Zhao Yue said beforehand, or simply because Xie Rongzhao accidentally saved Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue's meaning is very simple, that is, to invite them to come and identify the door, and to move around more in the future.

Xie Xiuwen understood Zhao Yue's intentions, which was equivalent to telling those literati and students that although he came from an ordinary background, he was not unreliable.

To put it bluntly, it was Zhao Yue who was supporting him!
After coming out of Weixinhou's Mansion, Xie Xiuwen took ginseng to several pharmacies to inquire about prices.

Xie Xiuwen is not stupid, naturally he put on a disguise, sticking on his beard, putting on thick eyebrows, changing into an outfit, and specially put something on his abdomen, so that it looks nothing like the original Xie Xiuwen .

In the end, Xie Xiuwen only took two ginseng.

Xie Xiuwen knew that this ginseng was not easy to come by, it was a good thing that could save lives, so one must be kept.

He kept the older ginseng and sold only two century-old ginsengs, and got more than two hundred taels of silver.

After all, in the capital city, if such ginseng was in his hometown, he might not even be able to sell half of the money.

With such a move, Xie Xiuwen has more money in his hand.

He made a simple plan, and then handed over 200 taels of silver and a box of copper coins to Liu Ruolan for her disposal.

"In the future, I want to study with peace of mind. You take good care of your family affairs. The land we bought will not be profitable until next year. You take the money first, and only use it for our own household. I have other preparations for outside entertainment. "
