Chapter 141 Saving People (3)_1
Unexpectedly, Huo Yuan was quite familiar with the ginseng market because the Huo family’s main ginseng business was located in Bianzhou Prefecture, and was managed by him.
Seeing Cai Wei’s curiosity, Huo Yuan detailed how to identify ginseng, the different prices of different types of ginseng, speaking very meticulously.
After listening to Huo Yuan’s introduction, Cai Wei laughed heartily. She knew ginseng was expensive, but she didn’t know that a hundred-year-old ginseng could fetch a price over a thousand taels of silver. If so, wouldn’t her thousand-year-old ginseng be sold for over ten thousand taels? And she had so many of them. If she sold them all, wouldn’t she be making a mountain of silver!
Rich! She was going to be rich! She celebrated with joy and excitement in her heart!
Lady Du was busy taking care of the children’s tea and dim sum. She turned back and saw Cai Wei and Huo Yuan were engrossed in enjoyable conversation, she couldn’t help but show a look of concern and subtly coughed.
Cai Wei noticed her mother’s unusual behaviour, knowing that she was overthinking and helplessly rolled her eyes in exasperation, giving Huo Yuan an apologetic smile.
Huo Yuan didn’t mind. Seeing Cai Wei’s playful appearance, he laughed heartily. He stopped conversing so much with her and instead began to chat with Wen’er and Wu’er...
...
As for Li Jingui, after being publicly humiliated by Huo Yuan, he was no longer in the mood to visit Ying’er. He stormed off with his bootlickers and upon returning home, entered the Flower Hall to see his dad, Magistrate Li, drinking tea with his biological mother, Lady Wang, with his two concubines and several siblings also present.
Seeing Li Jingui’s return, the whole family stood up excitedly. Magistrate Li rushed up quickly and anxiously pulled his son closer.
