The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 320

[Chapter 320 Qian Zheng]

, he needs to carefully observe every detail and never make a mistake.

At this time, the Fang Mansion was at its most leisurely, and most of the work had been done. The maids were either gathering together to chat, or hiding somewhere, secretly reading the latest best-selling story books.

Among the servants, except for those responsible for guarding, only a few were still working, including Qian Zheng.

At this moment, he was in a specially vacated room, carefully observing the Ten Thousand Years Ginseng that the young master had given to him.

To be precise, it was

the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng seedling, which sprouted new buds within a few days of getting it into his hands.

With many years of farming experience, he knew what this meant. Therefore, after asking the small manager for instructions, he decisively chose to cut off the sprouts and bury them in the soil for cultivation.

It was just a last resort, but I didn’t expect that the new shoots of the so-called ‘10,000-year-old ginseng’ would survive in the most ordinary soil.

As a person who has been dealing with crops since childhood, he has never seen ginseng, let alone the ‘ten thousand year ginseng’ which is said to be so precious that it is worth one hundred thousand taels of silver!

But the scene before him told him that this thing could never be ginseng!

He heard the young manager say that it takes several years for ginseng to grow, so it is rare. Things are rare, so they are precious.

According to his speculation, this thing may take less than a year to grow, and it is not difficult to survive. How could it be worth one hundred thousand taels of silver, and how could it be so precious?

When he thought of this, his first reaction was that the young master had been deceived!

Therefore, he found the young steward and hoped to tell the young master what he had discovered.

Unfortunately, during this period, the young master was developing something for the emperor in the suburbs

and never returned home, so he had no choice but to continue to offer this so-called ‘Ten Thousand Years Ginseng’ as his ancestor.

Of course, since the disaster in the Central Plains caused him to be separated from his family, he has almost forgotten what his ancestors were like. However, this ten thousand-year-old ginseng is clearly in his mind and he will never forget it. of.

Qian Zheng couldn’t help but sigh when he thought of this.

If there hadn’t been that drought, he would have already married and started a business by now.

“Qian Zheng, Qian Zheng!”

He was sighing when a burst of urgent shouting suddenly came from his ears.

Qian Zheng raised his eyes and looked forward, and when he saw it was someone from the side yard, he stood up in a hurry and said loudly: “I’m here, what can I do?”

The man heard the voice and walked quickly to him, Dragging him towards the side courtyard, he said as he walked: “Master wants to see you, come with me quickly!”

“Master?”

Qian Zheng was startled when he heard this, as if he thought of something. Stopped.

Seeing that he couldn’t pull him, the man looked back and said anxiously: “What are you doing? The young master has more time than our baby.”

Before he could finish speaking, Qian Zheng interrupted: “I’ll go Get something, quickly!”

After saying that, he slipped into the room.

When the man saw this scene, he became even more anxious and wished he could just drag him over.

However, after a while, Qian Zheng walked out of the room, holding a small flowerpot in his hand. Inside the flowerpot was a seedling swaying in the wind.

“What is this?”

The man asked subconsciously with a look of confusion on his face.

Qian Zheng replied: “This is what the young master gave me. I will take it over now.”

After hearing what he said, the man did not ask any more questions. He just urged: “Okay, hurry up. The young manager was just missing.” Someone is here to urge you.”

“Yes.”

Qian Zheng nodded and followed him quickly to the side yard.

After passing through the corridor, rockery, pond, and going around, we finally arrived at the backyard of the side yard.

As soon as he walked in, he saw a young man in rich clothes sitting on a stone bench.

Without being reminded by others, Qian Zheng could guess that this person was the current young master of Fang Mansion, Young Master Fang.

He only entered Fang Mansion during this time.

My family is from the Central Plains. After the disaster in my hometown, I had no way to survive, so I and my family packed up the fine silks, left the place where our ancestors had not left for generations, and embarked on an unknown journey.

I encountered a lot of things on the road, including kind-hearted people who gave out porridge, and bad people who blocked the road and robbed people of food.

After walking for more than half a year, when I arrived at the capital, I was the only one left.

I thought I would have a way to survive when I arrived in the capital, but unexpectedly, the place was filled with disaster victims like myself, swarming in like locusts.

In the beginning, the gentlemen in the Gyeonggi region would open warehouses to store grain and give out some porridge, barely surviving.

Later, the frequency of giving porridge became less and less, but the relief mentioned by the court was never seen, and it became more and more felt that there was no way to survive.

He continued walking forward and arrived at Kyoto City. He was the last group of outsiders to enter the city before entry was banned.

I have been a beggar and a hard laborer. In short, I have walked all the roads. In the end, I still couldn’t survive.

Just when he had given up hope, Chengnan started giving out porridge.

Although it was only three times a week, it was enough to keep him alive.

Later, he found out that the good man who gave out porridge was the young master of Fang Mansion.

Later, because he was willing to endure hardships and had strength, he spontaneously helped maintain order when serving porridge. He was selected by the stewards of the Fang Mansion and entered the Fang Mansion and became a servant.

In this world, being able to work as a servant in a noble house is already a dream. There are many people lining up, but there is no way out.

There is water to drink when you are thirsty, food to eat when you are hungry, bedding when you are cold, and a place to stay.

It can be said that today’s life is beyond his imagination.

Therefore, no matter what he does in this house, he strives to do his best, but he is afraid that one day he will not do well and will be kicked out.

At the same time, he also understood that the reason why he was able to live today was all dependent on one person, and that was the young master in front of him, Fang Xiu, the young master of the Fang Mansion and the general of the Yulin Guard!

At this moment, looking at the young master’s back, his mind went blank, his whole body became inexplicably nervous, and he could hardly speak.

“Master, the money has arrived.”

At this time, the man who led him here said respectfully.

Fang Xiu turned his head and looked behind him.

A young man with a dark face was standing at the door, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on his face, he waved his hand and said, “I know, you can go down.”

“Yes, Master!”

The man bowed respectfully, turned around and left the yard.

When Qian Zheng saw this scene, he stood still and felt even more embarrassed.

I thought to myself that I should salute.

But I don’t know how to salute at all.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, plopped, and knelt on the ground.
