[056] The matchmaker comes to the door
Boss Ning quickly went to the county town to invite the doctor back. There was a medical clinic in the county town. The clinic stipulated that the doctor would go out for treatment. No matter what the condition was, he had to pay two taels of silver first. Boss Ning gave it with a dark face and worked hard to invite the doctor back.
"These two patients were poisoned. Judging from the symptoms, it is very likely that they had accidentally eaten mute grass." The doctor had good medical skills. After watching, listening, asking and touching, he really found out the cause.
"Mutual Grass? How is this possible!" Boss Ning didn't believe it, because Mutual Grass was just a legendary thing, and they didn't have it here at all, otherwise they wouldn't have seen it before.
The mute grass is not a secret existence. Many people know that this herb exists, but this piece of Hongshi Village has never been discovered, so Doctor Gu did not dare to confirm it, and then Boss Ning would not believe it.
"Believe it or not, this poisonous weed is very toxic. It needs to be melted in Qing grass, Qilihua and White Snake grass to detoxify. Among them, it is easier to obtain. We have sold it in our clinic. One plant costs ten taels of silver, while Qilihua is more precious, which costs about a hundred taels of taels of each plant. Our clinic does not have inventory, but we can find it for you, which requires some shipping costs. As for the white snake grass... this medicine is quite rare, but I heard that there is a red stone mountain. You can go and look for it. This medicine likes shade and mostly grows in places where poisonous snakes appear. Be careful when looking for medicine."
After the doctor said something, everyone in the room became quiet, ten taels of silver per plant, seven diamonds per plant, and white snake grass that needed to be found in the place where poisonous snakes appeared...
Everyone was silent for a moment, looked at the doctor with a blank expression, and then at the old lady Ning and Ning Xiu'er who were full of despair. The answer seemed to be self-evident.
After seeing off the doctor, the Ning family sat together silently. Master Ning said with a very ugly expression: "Boss, you go to the mountains to search. If you can find the white snake grass, let's talk about other things."
"What? I've asked me to look for it. I've never been to the mountains. The mountains are so dangerous. If I go there, I'll die!" When Boss Ning heard this, he immediately became anxious. It would be fine if he was walking around the foot of the mountain, but when he went into the mountain to collect herbs, and it was a place where poisonous snakes appeared, how could he go and how dare he go!
"Who will you go if you don't go? Can't I let you go?" Ning's father's tone was gloomy, with a very obvious force in his tone.
Boss Ning froze, but suddenly looked up at the Ning Laosan who was beside him and said, "I can go, let the third brother go with me, and there is also a way to take care of him!" At first glance, this seemed to be fine, but coupled with his vicious tone, it felt an abnormal feeling.
Sure enough, Old Master Ning's face changed suddenly, and he threw the teacup in his hand on the ground, and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? How can he, a scholar, enter the mountain!"
"Yes, brother, I don't want to go there, but I have never been to the mountains at all. If I go there, I will only drag you down. Let Xuerong accompany you. Don't he often go to the mountains to collect firewood?" Ning Laosan said in a casual tone. Xuerong he said was Ning Xuerong, the eldest son of Boss Ning, who is now in his early twenties and is in his prime.
"Crushing firewood is different from collecting herbs. I am not familiar with the road when I picking herbs." Ning Xuerong explained hurriedly. He didn't dare to go deeper than picking firewood on weekdays, and now he doesn't dare to pick dangerous medicines.
"Yes, my boss only collects firewood at the foot of the mountain on weekdays and has never entered the deep mountains. Not to mention those wild animals, poisonous snakes, it is dangerous to get lost." Ning Xuerong's wife also spoke on the side, not hiding her displeasure at all.
"What should I do? Otherwise, let's hire someone to go. Don't Yunshen and Yunsi go up the mountain to hunt often, and let them collect herbs!" Ning Laosan thought for a while and put forward a seemingly good suggestion, which made everyone feel a little moved.
"Will they be willing to help?" Ning Xuerong always felt a little uneasy when he thought about the relationship between the two families.
"My mother was poisoned. Even if she had stopped kinship, it was his mother. He didn't care. Let's let her go. I don't believe that he could be so cruel!" Ning Laosan said viciously. He is very resentful to his second brother's family now, especially those little bastards, which is really hateful!
After Ning Laosan was angry by Ning Liudi that day, he kept trying to find an opportunity to take revenge. But who knew that the next day, there were two more people around Ning Liudi, and the three of them were inseparable from each other, which made him unable to find a chance to start. It was so annoying.
"Who said he was not cruel? If he was not cruel, could someone throw me and my father out?" Boss Ning was not that optimistic. His second brother was determined to refuse to recognize them.
"Hmph! That evil son, I'll take it as a waste of time. You'd better think of something else!" Mr. Ning said with a stern face. In fact, he was a little moved just now, but when he thought of his shameful appearance last time, he didn't want to find Mr. Ning again.
"How many ways are there..."
Regardless of whether the family could do it or not, Ning Yunxi's family's life was getting better and better. All the new houses were built, and several of them were empty. The courtyard in front had flowers, grass and big trees to enjoy the cool air. The vegetable garden behind was well organized, demonstrating the owner's hard work. Ning A-father took several brothers from the Ning family to farm, Ning A-mother took his daughter-in-law to do housework at home, Ning Si and Ning Sixth brother went to the academy to study, Ning Yunxi sometimes painted and wrote, and when he was tired, he went to the mountain to walk. The family's life was busy and comfortable, which was enviable.
There were more envious people, and there were more people coming to the door with various ideas. Among them, there were more matchmakers. On this day, Ning Anime had just finished feeding the chicken when she saw a woman who looked a little bit out of the door. However, there was a big red flower on the head of the woman, which made Ning Anime have some guesses about her identity.
"This is Ning Yaozu's home, right? I am Wang's matchmaker from the county. I'm here to send you a happy event this time." Wang's matchmaker said with a smile, glanced at her quickly, and saw the situation of the Ning family.
"The matchmaker in the county? Who are you here to say hello to?" Ning Aniang asked very cautiously. Her third and fourth brothers and sisters were all at the age of being the ones to say hello to, but I don't know who the matchmaker said this time.
"I heard that your third boy, fourth boy and fifth girl are both old enough to say kinship. I'm here to say kinship to two of them this time." After looking at the Ning family, matchmaker Wang looked at Ning Anime with a smile, looking confident.
