Chapter 59

Sure enough, as soon as Xueqing's voice fell, Huang sighed and said, "that was more than ten years ago. Your father really dug up a hundred year old ginseng. At that time, the village was a sensation."

"How much did the ginseng cost?" Snow fine asks a way in a hurry.

That's what she cares about the most.

"It's sold for tens of taels of silver." Huang said.

"Father Give all the silver to my master, and I'll take care of it? " Snow clear voice, full of doubt.

She thought it was quite possible.

From what she heard these days, we can draw the conclusion that her father used to be a well-known person in the village. He was very upright and should not be secretive.

After hearing Xueqing's words, Huang's face suddenly showed a trace of blush, and the corners of his mouth slightly bent up.

Snow clear eyes a bright.

There's something fishy about it!

"Niang, can't dad use that silver to buy you a gift secretly?" Xue Qing's eyes are shining with the light of thieves, trying to find out.

Huang was angry at Xueqing, but there was a halo of happiness on his face.

"Your father He took a few taels of silver from the money for selling ginseng and bought a silver hairpin for his mother. "

The man of his own family is always aboveboard. In order to buy a hairpin for her, he embezzled money for the first time.

Huang's heart was warm and sweet when he thought about it.

Not because of the silver hairpin, but because of her, the man even violated the consistent principle, which made Huang more moved than getting a golden and silver mountain.

With that, Huang took out a small wooden box from a sewing bag on the Kang.

In the wooden box, there is a light green handkerchief.

Huang opened the veil layer by layer, revealing a silver hairpin with carved flowers and fringes.

Hairpin, can only be said to be ordinary hairpin, workmanship is not very fine.

But for Huang, it has a different meaning.

Huang's hand crossed the silver hairpin, and his eyes were full of memories.

It was the first and only gift a man gave her.

"Niang, why don't you wear this hairpin?" Xueqing asked.

"This hairpin mother has never worn it outside. If you can see it..."

Huang did not say the following words, but snow clear understand.

If Tian saw it, it would have been confiscated.

This hairpin, Huang's in addition to wearing in the room for their men to see, did not show anyone.

Xueqing's eyes swept over the silver hairpin and fell on the green handkerchief.

"Niang, this handkerchief is so beautiful." Xue Qing exclaimed.

Huang Shi listened to the words of snow fine, handed the PA Zi to her.

"If you like, I'll give it to you."

With that, he put the hairpin in the wooden box and closed the lid.

Xueqing took the handkerchief and looked at the exquisite embroidery worker. She was surprised and asked, "Niang, is this your embroidery?"

Huang nodded, "it was embroidered by my mother many years ago."

"Niang, are you too good at embroidery?" The admiration of Xue Qing's eyes.

Although Xueqing doesn't know how to embroider, she can see Huang's exquisite embroidery.

There are two parallel lotus embroidered on the handkerchief. The lotus seems to be facing the sunrise, just in full bloom, and the petals even roll with dew.

In the corner of the handkerchief, a word "Wan" is embroidered.

Huang listened to her daughter's words and said with a smile, "my mother used to..."

Huang said here, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

"Nothing. It's just my mother's random embroidery." Huang shook his head and picked up the needlework on the Kang again.

**

as soon as it snowed, it became clear.

After eating anything and carrying a bamboo basket, he went into the mountain.

The bamboo basket contained a bamboo tube for water, two corn cakes, a sickle and a small shovel.

Huang originally wanted Xia Dabao and Xueqing to go into the mountain together, but Xueqing didn't agree. She insisted that she was just around and would not go too far. She must be alone.

Huang had no choice but to rely on her.

In fact, Huang has found that the daughter has completely changed since the injury.

I've got an idea and a mind to count.

Looking at his daughter's thin but graceful figure, Huang's heart is a little complicated.

She didn't know whether the change of her daughter was good or not?

With a sigh, Huang went to the backyard to pick a handful of vegetables, and then walked to the school by the village.

When her daughter was not at home, she went to cook for her master, and Huang took over.

At the thought of the gentle master, Huang's eyebrows twisted again.

She always felt that there was a kind of momentum in the master who had been in the top position for a long time, which made people feel cowardly in front of him.

Xueqing carries the bamboo basket and walks briskly. She doesn't know the tangles in her mother's heart.The wind in the morning, playing on the face has a cool early autumn, let people open their hearts naturally.

The corners of Xueqing's mouth are cocked up with a cheerful look.

I didn't find that in front of several thatched cottages in the distance, a figure in white was standing, a pair of eyes as vast as the sea of stars were watching her back, like the thick eyebrows in the distant mountains, slowly twisted up.

Xueqing doesn't know. Not long after she entered the mountain, the children in the school received the notice -

today, the master has something to do and has a day off.

After entering the mountain, Xueqing did not linger in the periphery, but went straight in.

Peripheral things, whether they can be eaten or sold for money, have been looted by the villagers. I don't know how many times, but what she wants can only be found in the mountains.

Xueqing didn't walk blindly. She made a unique mark while walking.

Otherwise, even if she walks in the dense mountains, I'm afraid she will get lost.

Walking in the mountains is not easy. There are withered branches and leaves, weeds and thorns on the ground.

Inside, there are snakes, mice, insects and ants. If you are not careful, you will be bitten.

If there's no poison, it's OK. If there's no poison, you'll be killed in an instant.

Therefore, although they are guarding the mountain, the villagers at the foot of the mountain are even poorer.

because the mountains are not only wolves, leopards, but also * poisonous insects.

It can be said that step into the mountains, step by step crisis.

As a result, most villagers just walk around the periphery. Only those who go hunting in the mountains can go farther, but most of them go together.

Snow fine also dare not carelessly, holding a long bamboo pole in hand, while walking, beating in front of the weeds and thorns.

In this way, not only can the dew on the weeds be shaken off, so as not to wet the clothes, but also the snakes and rats inside can be scared away.

Along the way, Xueqing looked carefully as she walked.

She dug down all the Chinese herbal medicines she knew and put them into the basket.

Although she had not studied medicine in her previous life, as a necessary knowledge, she still knew the pharmacological properties of some medicinal materials.

In fact, she doesn't know how to feel the pulse of traditional Chinese medicine, and she can grasp the basic trauma first aid.

Looking at more and more herbs in the basket, Xue Qing suddenly feels that selling herbs is also a way to make money.

However, the profit from collecting and selling medicinal materials is limited after all. Moreover, it is too dangerous to go into the mountain to collect medicinal materials. Xueqing's idea just flashed by and was abandoned by her.

Xueqing can collect some herbs by the way, but not specially.

In fact, the main purpose of her visit today is to find seasonings.

In addition to pepper, she also wanted to look for cumin, star anise and so on.
