I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 137 Let’s see

"I understand. Please ask the doctor as soon as possible." Shen Cungeng could never have imagined that when he stopped a mule cart and rushed to the Fifth Army camp, the guard agreed to pass the message on his behalf, but told him after a long time that the doctor had not been found.

He was dumbfounded at the time. His fourth uncle was clearly talking about this camp. When he asked the guards whether they had seen the guards of Mr. Lu Si, the guards still didn't know the answer.

And he couldn't wait outside the camp gate all the time, so he had to step back and wait for a while.

The guards saw that he had retreated far away from him, stuffed the money they had just received, and said, "General, aren't you going to tell him?"

"Do you want to be beaten?"

"Do not want to."

"Then shut up. We helped him pass the message, and we didn't take his benefits for nothing." The general said as a matter of course.

It turned out that all the troops in the entire camp were dragged into training at daybreak. Shen Changsui and Lu Guan could have stayed in the camp and taught the newly selected medical soldiers together with the military doctor, but they wanted to see how the ancient infantry and cavalry were trained, so they followed and observed after asking for permission.

So Shen Cungeng was destined not to see anyone today. While he was waiting anxiously, Shen Xiaoye had already asked a doctor to check on his grandmother.

Lin was just pretending. The doctors in the capital were most familiar with her symptoms, so they just told her to keep warm because it was cold, prescribed some warming and tonic medicine, and then left.

The little black cat scratched his friend's leg: See, the doctor found out that your grandma was pretending to be sick.

Shen Xiaoye knew, of course. She took the prescription and looked at her grandmother, whose eyelids kept moving but she was still unconscious. She asked, "Grandpa, can you prescribe some medicine?"

"The doctor said it's not a big deal, and your grandma is still taking Doctor Ge's medicine, so it's best not to change it for now." Grandpa Shen Shanyou knew that she saw through him.

"It's better to get two doses of medicine." Great grandmother Qian was afraid that if she was not careful, her brother and sister-in-law's condition would worsen.

However, my great grandfather Shen Shanxin, who had not entered the room, felt that he had figured out something. He called his younger brother out to investigate. After hearing that his guess had come true, he pointed at his younger brother's nose and said, "Do you have money to burn? You're just paying the doctor for nothing."

Shen Shanyou: "Brother, even if I didn't let Xiaoye find a doctor, she wouldn't agree."

"You, it's a good thing that Sui Ge'er was chosen, otherwise how could the imperial physician come to see you in person every time?

Don't do anything small that would let others see it, as it would only hinder him and displease his superiors. What good would that do him?

You are also a person who travels outside all year round, do I need to explain this to you?" Shen Shanxin has his own wisdom in life. If the emperor asks you to accompany him, you can't refuse.

This is just like when he was doing odd jobs in the past and his employer took a fancy to him and offered him extra work. If he turned it down, the employer would no longer want him, and even other employers would not be willing to hire him again.

This remark awakened everyone in the situation, and Shen Shanyou shuddered: "Brother, isn't our Sui Ge'er's eyes still under treatment?

We are also worried that it will affect his vision in the future.”

But it was obvious that he and his wife were too concerned. "I'm going to get Geng back now."

"Grandpa, I'll go." Shen Xiaoye volunteered, but grandpa disagreed: "The efficiency in Beijing is not as good as in the city, you should stay at home and support them."

After he went back to the house and whispered to Lin, he led the horse away. Lin also sat up with a sigh, and smiled bitterly at her sister-in-law embarrassedly.

In the courtyard, Grandfather Shen Shanxin and Shen Xiaoye said, "Xiaoye, Grandfather wants to plant a few acres of indigofera oleifera. Can I give it to you when the time comes?"

“Of course, my aunt is going to give birth this year, otherwise my family would grow it ourselves.

I will charge you three taels of silver for every 1,000 kilograms of woad that Great Grandfather grows." Shen Xiaoye gave him an idea and asked him to go to Lingshan Temple to buy seeds and learn from them in the spring.

Great grandfather was extremely surprised: "The things you bought from Lingshan Temple are so expensive?"

"At the beginning, it was cheap and they even cut it for free. Later, we bought it at a rate of one and a half ounces per thousand kilograms. But after it exceeded three thousand kilograms, they were not willing to buy it. We have no choice but to raise the price while we wait to use it." Shen Xiaoye seriously suspected that the monk who was in charge of external objects would raise the price in the future.

Of course, she wanted to have the means of production in her own hands, but unfortunately, there were many things to do last year, and after the autumn harvest, her grandfather decisively rented the few acres of land in her family to Uncle He, who had already planted winter wheat.

Since her great-grandfather was willing to try, she didn't have to look for anyone else.

Shen Shanxin said, "Then I won't go to them to learn from them. I will go to Doctor Ge." He never believed in the clay statues of Buddha, because worshiping Buddha could not replace his farming, and he knew about the pawnshop in the temple.

Three taels of silver, he could earn more money by collecting one or two taels than growing all the grain. "Well, your great grandmother and I will pack up and go home and consult Doctor Ge as soon as possible."

"Grandpa, Jirentang may not have seeds. It would be better to ask Master Jiechen privately to help buy seeds." The main reason was that Shen Xiaoye believed that woad could be grown all year round in the back mountain of Lingshan Temple, which must have its unique features.

She also suggested to my great-grandfather not to use too much at once, but to try planting three or two acres for a year to accumulate experience.

The father and son were standing in the yard talking heatedly when someone knocked on the door again.

Shen Xiaoye quickly opened the door to welcome the guest, and saw that it was the cook, Aunt Yi, who was carrying two live fishes and her two daughters. As soon as she entered the door, she asked her eldest daughter to kowtow.

"Aunt, what are you doing? Hurry up, sister." Shen Xiaoye quickly picked up the older girl, who was one or two years older than Jiaer. "It's cold outside. Jiaer and your sister, hurry in and warm up."

She wanted to take her to the Second Hospital, but Aunt Yi waved her hand and said, "No, no, I just brought her here to thank you, young lady. The money you gave Jia'er saved her life."

That night, the eldest daughter suddenly had convulsions and her body felt as hot as burning coals. We sent her to the clinic, but because we did not have enough money, we could not get any life-saving medicine.

Unexpectedly, the youngest daughter suddenly took out an eight-cent silver piece and said that it was given to her by her sister whom she met during the day.

At that time, for the sake of her eldest daughter, she didn't care about anything else and got the medicine first.

She handed the fish over and said, "Miss Shen, when I go to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month, you can deduct the money from my wages."

“No hurry, no hurry.” Shen Xiaoye refused to answer and took the two children to the yard, shouting, “Grandma, grandma, Aunt Yi is here to pay New Year’s greetings.

And brought two cute little girls with them."

"Eh..." Aunt Yi felt very embarrassed. How could it be considered a New Year's greeting if she took out two pieces of fish from the river?

"Come in, come in." Grandma Lin and great-grandma Qian came to the second door to greet the guest. Seeing the guest's frostbitten hands, they took the fish calmly and said, "This is a rare fresh food."

On this side, my great-grandfather added more charcoal to the brazier in the living room and made it burn more vigorously, then he gave the space to a group of women and children.

The two girls of the Yi family followed their mother and greeted the two old ladies in a proper manner, and were instantly given big red envelopes.

They all looked at their mother a little bewildered, and Lin smiled and said, "It's for good luck during the New Year, so keep them all."

Aunt Yi bowed deeply before nodding and letting her two daughters accept it.

Shen Xiaoye couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did your aunt's family also move here in the past one or two years?"
