Chapter 288 Another Invitation

The weather is gradually getting hotter.

Mei Yuan never came back. He seemed very busy. He asked someone to bring a letter back, saying that he would come back after finishing his work for a while.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Qiao Huaping read between the lines and realized that Mei Yuan planned to take them to the capital.

Along with the letter came some supplements.

Although Mei Yuan didn't know about Mei Qingying's injury, because Qiao Huaping fell into the water earlier, in addition to sending letters, he also sent a bunch of ginseng, Ganoderma and other supplements over.

There was also an exquisite small box. Qiao Huaping opened it and saw a stack of banknotes inside.

That's right, it's a bunch.

There was also a piece of paper attached to the box. The writing on it was written in a sharp and sharp style, "It is inconvenient to go out and I don't have much money to carry, so I will use it for the time being."

Even though he was as rich as Qiao Huaping, he was speechless even as he flipped through the stack of banknotes.

This is at least several thousand taels of silver.

Just give it to her?

Qiao Huaping thought, she is a cheap man, but it is hard to tell that she is actually rich.

However, Qiao Huaping still collected the box of banknotes.

Seeing that the season for the medicinal materials was approaching, Qiao Huaping asked the village to allocate manpower and set up a team to patrol the fields to prevent wild beasts from coming down the mountain and destroying these fine medicinal materials.

Every household is beaming with joy.

Qiao Huaping invited people from the Good Medicine Hall to evaluate this batch of medicinal materials, but found that Uncle Kun was wearing plain clothes and had a filial piety on his arm.

Only then did Qiao Huaping realize that it was Mr. Wu who had gone.

"Our old man is mourning." Uncle Kun said calmly, "He passed away in his sleep. He died without any illness or pain. Even though he was old, this is inevitable."

After a pause, Uncle Kun still didn't say anything.

On the day when Mr. Wu left, Mrs. Wu originally had found a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.

But I never thought that Mr. Wu would suddenly pass away in his sleep.

The matter of coming to propose marriage was naturally put on hold.

Although Mr. Wu was happy to be mourned, Wu Yourong and Mr. Wu had a deep relationship, and they could not bear the shock at this time, and actually fell ill from grief.

Mrs. Wu was busy with Mr. Wu's funeral and taking care of her sick young son, so she was extremely busy.

Even though Wu Yourong was pleased with Qiao Huaping, he was no longer in the mood to talk about marriage at this moment.

Naturally, Mrs. Wu would not take the initiative to mention it - how could an elderly person in the family just die, and they would start talking about marriage? Doesn't this make people scold him for being unfilial?

Uncle Kun sighed in his heart.

Qiao Huaping didn't know there were these things behind this, so she just sighed.

But Uncle Kun cheered up first and said: "Although the old man is gone, we still have to do this business. The old man is alive in heaven, and he will definitely feel relieved when he sees that the Wu family's industry is booming."

Qiao Huaping nodded and took Uncle Kun on a tour of the lush medicinal field in the barren mountain.

The herbal medicine master brought by Uncle Kun was intoxicated. He squatted on the field ridge and touched the herbal leaves without letting go: "These medicinal herbs are so good!"

The villagers were very happy after hearing this, and they all said that it was Mrs. Qiao's contribution. Without her, how would they have known so much knowledge about cultivating medicinal materials.

It looks like it’s another bumper year with lots of money!

Qiao Huaping smiled slightly and said nothing.

She thought that even if she had to leave later, it would be no big deal. The villagers had almost mastered it. Even if she didn't have the space to cultivate the seedlings, they could continue to make a living by growing medicine according to normal seedling raising.

Uncle Kun gave me a very generous price.

The villagers of Liujin Village, with Village Chief Lu as the host, hosted a very sumptuous banquet to entertain Uncle Kun and the herbal medicine masters and clerks he brought.

After the banquet, Qiao Huaping took several children home. The concierge said that someone else had sent an invitation.

Because of the mess at the guard's house in front of him, Qiao Huaping raised his eyebrows when he heard the word "invitation".

However, when she took a look at the post, she saw that it was from the county magistrate's wife, saying that it was for the old lady of Wang County Magistrate's family celebrating her birthday.
