Chapter 130 Can You Take Me With You?
"Mother, please go and talk to her for your son." Seeing his father leave, Xia Mingxuan hurriedly asked Liu for help. He didn't want to prepare medicinal materials. The smell of Chinese medicine was too bad and he really didn't like it.
"You little brat, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you go and mess with your sister instead of just picking on anyone else." Son, I can't do anything about your mother, so just wish you good luck.
Liu put down her bowl and chopsticks, fearing that her youngest son would pester her to help plead with Xia Zhaofeng, and left quickly.
"Mother, mother..." Seeing Liu's quickly escaping back, Xia Mingxuan became more and more desperate.
"Fifth Master, this is raw Poria cocos, it has the effects of strengthening the spleen, calming the mind and soothing the nerves. It is generally used to treat edema, oliguria, restlessness, palpitations and insomnia..."
Xia Mingxuan, "..."
"We usually choose those with intact skin, firm texture and no insect damage. Of course, the fresher the Poria cocos, the better."
Xia Mingxuan: "..."
"Help!" Xia Mingxuan covered his ears. He really didn't want to learn or listen to these things, but he had to stay in Anhe Hall to learn them.
"Fifth Young Master, this is Atractylodes macrocephala, it..." Doctor Yan could also see that Xia Mingxuan was really unwilling to learn, but he was ordered to teach and complete the task assigned by the adults. Regardless of whether the Fifth Young Master wanted to learn or not, he would just teach him, because this guy would not treat patients after learning anyway.
"Ah," it was finally dark. Xia Mingxuan, who was suffering from mental torture, quickly walked out of Anhetang, fearing that if he left a little late, he would be caught by Doctor Yan to learn how to identify medicinal herbs.
In a hurry, Xia Mingxuan ran into his sister who had also just returned home. He wanted to pretend that he didn't see her and just hid himself.
"Hey, isn't that fifth brother?" Xia Weiwei held back her laughter, got off the carriage, and elegantly greeted Xia Mingxuan who was trying to hide from her.
"Sister, why didn't you go to Anhe Hall today?" Xia Mingxuan, knowing that he couldn't escape, turned around helplessly and waited for his sister to come over. He knew that Xia Weiwei used to be there most of the time, but today she didn't go there once.
"Well, Daddy asked me to go to Jiahe County to visit my aunt." In fact, she wanted to go there on her own initiative. She wanted Xia Mingxuan to stay in Anhe Hall forever and experience what it felt like to have no one to turn to, and to see if he would dare to tell tales to his mother again in the future.
"Oh, then can you go to Anhetang tomorrow?" Xia Mingxuan asked his sister pitifully. He thought that if his sister was there, he could take a break and be lazy. Now it was really painful for him to be forced by Doctor Yan to identify those medicinal herbs.
"No, I have to go to Wenpi County tomorrow to inspect the business of the shop." Xia Weiwei refused immediately. How could she let go of the things he had done, both new and old grudges, so easily? She was still angry.
"Oh, sister, can you take me with you to Wenpi County? I also want to learn accounting." Between learning how to prepare medicinal materials and learning how to manage a shop, he chose to manage the shop.
"Well," Xia Weiwei thought for a moment, "It's not impossible to take you with me..."
"My sister is always the best to me!" Xia Mingxuan was overjoyed when he heard that. He finally didn't have to go to Anhetang tomorrow.
"Well, about your trip to Wenpi County," Xia Weiwei said quickly, "go and talk to Daddy yourself."
Seeing his sister ran away after she finished speaking, the desperate Xia Mingxuan sat down on the ground helplessly. How could he have the courage to bargain with Xia Zhaofeng?
"Brother Biao, I heard from your mother that you will go to study in the provincial capital after the holiday?" The headman's wife, who was chatting with Yang Biao at home, asked him when she saw him driving into the courtyard.
"Well, the mourning period had not yet ended, and a friend in the city had already helped me find an academy to study in." Yang Biao answered truthfully. Judge Cao had already arranged all the matters concerning his studies for him, and he could go to Tianshi Academy to study as long as the mourning period was over.
"Oh," the wife of the village head didn't want Yang Biao to leave home. He could stay in Yangjia Village and teach his wife how to brew more kinds of wine, and lead the villagers to promote wine to more and farther places.
But I don't know what to say. Just like my wife said, this kid has his own dreams and ambitions, Xiao Zhang didn't stop him, and I have no right to demand that he do so.
"Yang Biao!" Yang Meihua called out to her cousin who wanted to go to the river to take a bath. She had gotten married in early February this year. The weather was hot, she wore few clothes, and she was thin. You could see that her belly was slightly bulging. Yang Biao estimated that she was at least two months pregnant.
"Oh, it's plum blossoms." Yang Biao was not interested in Wang and her children. He tugged at the clothes in his hand and said, "What's the matter with you?"
"It's nothing. Can't you say hello to your cousin when you see him?" Yang Meihua said to him with a smile. This guy was so annoying no matter how she looked at him.
"Okay, now that we've said hello, I'm going to take a shower." Yang Biao is a middle-aged man at heart. Even though Yang Meihua hid her emotions very well, he still noticed it. This cousin didn't like him, and they were fed up with each other. Why bother?
"Hey,..." Yang Meihua still wanted to call him, to get closer to this scholar. If he succeeded in the imperial examination in the future, she might be able to get some help from him. After all, her two brothers had no hope at all.
"Hmph! What's so great about that?" Yang Meihua spat angrily at Yang Biao who was walking away. Seeing his seven brick houses, she hesitated for a while, then walked in.
"Second Aunt, are you home?" The headman's wife, who was still chatting at Yang Biao's house, glanced at her and continued to embroider the handkerchief in her hand.
"Oh, the village head's aunt is also visiting my second aunt's house." Yang Meihua sat among them in a familiar manner, pointing and gesticulating at the embroidery works.
"Well, Aunt Qiaoer, there are some things I forgot to wash at home, so I'll go back first." The young wife in the village couldn't stand Yang Meihua's show-off, so she made an excuse to leave.
"I have also forgotten what my mother-in-law told me to do. I am leaving now."
"I………"
When Xiao Zhang was getting the gold thread from the inner room, she saw that most people had left. She was very surprised and asked, "Why did they all leave?"
Qin Xiaoran pointed behind her, so Xiao Zhang turned around and saw Yang Meihua walking around the yard and looking at the house. "Why are you here?"
"Second aunt, I'm going back to my parents' home today to celebrate the festival..." Yang Meihua was not afraid at all when she saw Xiao Zhang, and she smiled and tried to get close to her.
"Go back to your mother's home. Biao'er's home is your mother's home?" The headman's wife was annoyed. Why didn't she realize that this child was so shameless before?
"I..." Yang Meihua smiled awkwardly. She stepped forward and took Xiao Zhang's arm to show her affection. "Isn't Second Aunt's home also my family's home? Right, Second Aunt?"
Little Zhang pulled her arm out without leaving a trace. If she didn't know that Yang Meihua had bullied her daughter before, she would have given her a smile. After all, the dirty things done by Wang could not be blamed on an ignorant child.
"I heard that you married into a wealthy family in town. Are you living a good life?" Little Zhang sat on a stool, threaded the gold thread on the needle, picked up the clothes and continued sewing.
