Chapter 897 Gift of Silver
The next day, Xia Zihan sent Chu Fei early in the morning to lead several women to the market to buy meat.
Thinking of the hard life of the villagers in Caojia Village, unable to eat a piece of meat or wear new clothes all year round, Xia Zihan remembered that the people in Caojia Village had helped her a lot in her previous life, so she took out With one thousand taels of silver, he ordered Chu Fei to lead several women to buy two thousand kilograms of pork, a batch of cotton cloth, and a batch of cotton, and sent them to Caojia Village in a carriage.
Chu Cong went to the government office with the agreement signed by his uncle and his aunt yesterday, and the debt repayment document signed by Mrs. Cao to Xia Zihan. He recorded the house of Mrs. Cao in his uncle's name, and re-applied it. Obtained the property deed.
When Chu Fei and Chu Xing led a group of maids and women to deliver pork and cloth and cotton to Caojia Village, they also gave the completed house deed and land title to their cousin.
Xia Zihan took Chu Lin to an embroidery workshop.
Xia Zihan's eyes turned red when she saw the three characters "Jade Embroidery Pavilion" on the plaque above the embroidery workshop. She tried hard to hold back the tears.
With her feet as heavy as gold, she approached Yuxiu Pavilion.
A little maid came up with a smile and said, "Welcome, madam. What kind of embroidery do you want to buy? Our Jade Embroidery Pavilion has a complete range of embroidery items, and the embroidery workers are all top-notch."
With that said, he led Xia Zihan and his servant to the place where the screens were placed, pointed to a row of screens and said, "Madam, look at this set of six screens. Even in the whole of Yifeng Town, you can't find such exquisite and ingenious embroidery." Come on, this is the only set of six screens embroidered by our master embroidery master Qi Niangzi.”
The maid tried hard to sell the six screens to Xia Zihan, but Xia Zihan looked around absentmindedly and saw that Yuxiu Pavilion was a little different from the previous life, but after a closer look, it seemed to be almost the same.
When the maid's introduction was almost done, Xia Zihan asked about the manager of Yuxiu Pavilion, Mama Li.
She smiled and said, "I heard that Mother Li is easy-going and warm-hearted towards guests. We came here because of her reputation. Is Mother Li in the shop today?"
"Here, Mother Li is in the embroidery workshop in the backyard." When she heard that she was here to see the steward, the maid's attitude became a little more enthusiastic. Madam, sit down for a while, and the servant will go to the backyard to invite Mother Li over. ”
The maid ran to the backyard.
After a while, Mother Li came in a hurry.
When I entered the shop, I saw someone I didn't recognize.
However, seeing Xia Zihan and his servant dressed in extraordinary and expensive clothes, a smile appeared on his face, "But Madam is looking for me. What kind of embroidery does Madam want to buy? The old lady just happened to have a batch of bed tents in hand, absolutely It’s first-class. Madam, would you like to take a look?”
It's summer, and it's time for Yuxiu Pavilion to hang out bed tents and sell them. In her previous life, she had embroidered many bed tents for Yuxiu Pavilion.
Xia Zihan stared blankly at Mother Li, who was exactly the same as in her memory, and felt a little excited. However, Mother Li did not know her in this life. She restrained her impulse to ask her how she was and said, "No, I I came here today just to see you. I heard that your grandson has had a bad heart since he was a child. I have a recipe here. Do you want to take a look?”
Hearing this, Mrs. Li looked excited, "Really? Madam, you...your recipe?"
"I got it from a miracle doctor. If Mother Li doesn't believe it, you can take it to the doctor in the pharmacy to see it first, and then give it to your grandson."
Xia Zihan knew that if a stranger suddenly came to her and wanted to give her a prescription, even if she was being cautious, Mother Li would not just follow the prescription and give it to her grandson.
However, she wasn't worried.
Mother Li’s grandson is only two years old this year. He is as precious as her eyes. Unfortunately, the child’s heart has been bad since he was born. In the past year, the medicine has not stopped, so he can He said that the child was hanging on his life with decoction. Even if she didn't pass by Yifeng Town this time, she still planned to send someone to deliver the prescription to Mother Li. However, she stayed in Wuzhi Peak for a while and was delayed for some time.
According to Li's mother's caution, she will definitely show the prescription to the doctor in the pharmacy first. As long as it is a doctor, he can tell as soon as he sees her prescription that it is a prescription specially prescribed for the disease of mother Li's grandson. .
Xia Zihan took out a prescription that she had prepared a long time ago from her purse and gave it to Mother Li. In addition, there was also a banknote worth one thousand taels of silver in it.
When Mrs. Li saw the banknote, her eyes widened. She thought Xia Zihan had inserted it accidentally. She was about to take it out and give it back to Xia Zihan when Xia Zihan said, "There are several medicinal materials in the prescription." It’s very precious. I lent you this thousand taels of silver. If I have a chance in the future, I’ll come to you to pay it back.”
Xia Zihan knew that this silver was a gift from her to Mother Li.
She will never come to Mother Li to ask for her return.
In her previous life, she entrusted Ying'er to Mother Li and left like that, never to return her. Even people died outside. According to Mother Li's cold-faced and warm-hearted temperament, she would never leave Ying'er alone. If the child is thrown away, it is very likely that she will keep it and raise it by herself.
This thousand taels of silver was her compensation for the kindness she had received from raising Ying'er in her previous life.
Although such a huge kindness cannot be calculated in terms of money, what she can currently help Mother Li is only money and a prescription. In fact, she can give Mother Li more money, but she is afraid of being scared. After catching Mrs. Li, she was so scared that she didn't dare to ask for it. Mrs. Li was not a person who wanted money when she saw it.
Mother Li looked at Xia Zihan in shock, as if she couldn't believe what Xia Zihan said.
Who is so stupid as to give a thousand taels of silver to a stranger for free?
Although the banknote was real and everything that happened before her eyes was real, Mother Li felt like she was dreaming.
By the time she realized that Xia Zihan was not joking and she was not dreaming, Xia Zihan had already said goodbye and left Yuxiu Pavilion.
Mother Li chased her out, but... Xia Zihan's master and servant had already mounted their horses, and in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.
Mother Li held the prescription in one hand and the banknote in the other. She didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
When he came back to his senses, his face was already covered with tears, and he was still mumbling, "Good man, really good man. If this prescription is true and my grandson is really well, I will definitely give you a longevity tablet." I will burn incense and kowtow to you in the morning and evening to pray for you.”
……
After staying in Yifeng Town for one night and finishing all the things, Xia Zihan's motorcade set off back to the capital on the afternoon of the next day.
It was nearly a month's journey from Yifeng Town to the capital, and we had to pass through Jiangning City on the way. When we arrived at Jiangning City, it was already afternoon.
Liao Jingtang, who had already received the news that Xia Zihan would arrive in Jiangning City today, took Zeng Jingji, mother and son to wait eagerly outside the city. The family waited from morning until noon. When they were hungry at noon, they went to a restaurant near the city gate. After eating, we continued to wait outside the city gate. It was not until the afternoon that we finally saw Xia Zihan's motorcade.
