After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

Chapter 207 Etiquette

Finally, we decided to go to the town to buy New Year's goods on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. It happened that there was a big market in the town that day, so we could buy a lot of New Year's goods and have a good New Year.

It has been several days since the robbery incident, and only one or two people can be seen walking on the road, supporting each other.

When you get to town, go to Wenchuntang first.

There are quite a lot of people here today. Usually there are only a few patients coming to the clinic, but today there are quite a lot of people coming.

Huanxi knew in her heart that elderly people would easily get sick and die in such a cold winter.

Fortunately, after taking a look inside, they found that all the patients were suffering from colds. Xiao Ding was busy running around, and Huanxi didn't feel comfortable disturbing him too much.

After asking for Doctor He's location, he carried two large bags and went into the back hall. Doctor He was taking the pulse of an old man in his seventies. There were several stoves around with medicine boiling on them, and the whole back hall was filled with the aroma of medicine.

Huanxi sat aside, quietly waiting for Doctor He to finish explaining the old man's condition. He then went to the back to get some medicine and packed it up before he stopped to talk to Huanxi.

"Girl, what good stuff are you selling this time?"

He smiled happily and explained that he came to deliver New Year's goods to him and Xiao Ding, and took the two packages beside him and opened them.

One package contains some special products from the farm, such as smoked sausages made a few days ago, and some are some fresh fruits and vegetables.

Let’s not talk about those for now. The main thing is a small box of ore, which is the blue crystal-colored heteromorphic ore that she discovered when she first went to the Wailing Cliff to cut Bai Lamu.

It was okay for Doctor He to see other things, but the hemimorphite really caught his attention.

"This is quite rare. It's still unknown whether it has any medicinal value, but it's not something you can easily obtain. Isn't it a bit too generous of you to just give it to me like this?"

"How could that be? Honestly, if you hadn't accepted the Lingzhi from me, I'd probably still be a poor girl. Isn't this a give and take? It's all thanks to you two, the master and disciple, for taking care of me. So, I'll just consider this as a happy new year for you."

When Doctor He heard this, he nodded repeatedly.

Relationships should be give and take.

So he turned around and went back to the warehouse to take out a few large bags of things. When Huanxi saw them, his eyes widened.

"This...this is too expensive. No, no, please put it away quickly."

The bag was filled with spices, including cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, angelica, and ginger, as well as some spices that she occasionally bought but not in large quantities.

Doctor He glanced at her with amusement and said:

"This is the old stuff Xiao Ding and I found when we were cleaning out the warehouse a few days ago. Luckily, I met you this year, otherwise there would be even more of it. Don't underestimate it. Aside from its inferior appearance and slightly lower medicinal properties, everything else is fine."

Such a big bag, if you buy it, it will cost no less than twenty taels. This gift is like a robbery.

She felt a little embarrassed when Xiao Ding waved goodbye to her.

"Mom, what is this?"

The weather was too cold, so I didn't ask the three girls to get out of the car. Now I'm waiting in the car with Hongying and Yuyan, and they're huddled together to keep warm.

"This is a return gift from your Grandpa He. It's for cooking. I'll bring you to pay New Year's greetings to him next year."

Xiao Yin: "I remember Grandpa He, he is very kind. I will come to wish him a happy new year."

"If Second Sister comes, I want to come too."

He touched their little heads with joy and satisfaction, turned around and drove the carriage to Pang's Escort Agency. Yu Yan and the three maids got off the carriage and went in to find the escort leader Pang, while Hongying went with her to another place.

Chen Mansion

Huanxi sat in the carriage, while Shufeng was tied outside. The servant who went to report came out and said embarrassedly:

"Miss Zhao, I'm sorry, my young master just got up. I'll take you in right away."

It's almost noon, and Chen Yunrui hasn't gotten up yet. I'm so envious.

If possible, she would not want to get up. It was so cold, her hands and feet would be frozen wherever she went.

Entering the teahouse they had been to last time, Chen Yunrui was yawning sleepily. When he saw Huanxi coming in, he quickly stood up to greet her.

"Oh, Miss Zhao, please forgive me for not welcoming you in person." He saw Hongying behind him, his eyes brightened up, and he asked with a smile:

"Why haven't I seen this sister before? What's her name? Which family's daughter is so elegant?"

Hongying rolled her eyes at him and said speechlessly:

"Young Master Chen, I'm an escort for the Pangshi Escort Agency. You were kidnapped last year, and it was my senior brother who led the team to rescue you. I was one of the escorts. Have you forgotten so quickly?"

Chen Yunrui paused, as if recalling something, and suddenly shouted:

"You're that crazy woman! I remember now. I was about to run away, but you insisted on running out to fight with that group of people. As a result, I got kicked several times. Later, I found out that you were the daughter of Pang Biaotou, so I didn't bother with you."

Huanxi was like eating a big melon. This Chen Yunrui was a second-generation rich man. His family was said to be the second richest in Rongshan Town, and no one dared to claim to be the first.

Therefore, it is understandable that robbers kidnapped him. As for asking Pang Shi to rescue him, he probably did not dare to report to the police.

After all, the robbers must have informed the Chen family not to report the kidnapping to the police, otherwise they would kill the victim.

"That's because I saw you being tortured so badly that I couldn't bear it and wanted to help you get revenge. You don't know how to appreciate a good person." Hongying rolled her eyes arrogantly.

After that incident, she got a severe punishment from her father when she got home. This guy actually used this incident to provoke her lungs.

"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you. What brings you here today, Miss Zhao?"

Chen Yunrui couldn't win the argument with Hongying, so he asked Huanxi why she came.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and since we're friends, I came to give you a New Year's gift."

As he spoke, he asked Hongying to bring out a pot of well-maintained ghost jade. The plant was not very big overall, but was separated from a large plant and cultivated separately, and it was one of the batches that grew very well.

"Is this the Ghost Jade Clivia?"

"Master Chen has a keen eye for gemstones, but this isn't the season for the Ghost Jade to bloom. July and August in midsummer are the best times for them to bloom. Now, only the leaves are worth admiring."

Chen Yunrui walked around the flower pot several times, raised his finger and pointed at himself and asked in disbelief:

"'Give' me?"

He emphasized the word "send" very strongly, as if he couldn't believe it.

Huanxi smiled and nodded: "Exactly."

Chen Yunrui didn't believe it and asked again, "Is it really a gift for me?"

Huanxi continued patiently: "Yes, you are right. It's a holiday gift for you."

After hearing the exact answer, Chen Yunrui carefully picked up the ceramic pot and admired the orchid leaves in the pot with joy.

"This is too precious. Boss Zhou spent a full five hundred taels on it last time, and you're giving it to me right now? Is there something fishy going on?"

Huanxi smiled sincerely, "Master Chen not only has a keen eye for talent, but is also incredibly intelligent. I truly admire him."

Chen Yunrui: ……….He knew that this woman was not so kind.

"Then tell me, how much silver?"

Huanxi still had that sincere smile on her face and said, "We are friends, and friends don't accept money from each other."

"No money? Then what do you want?"

He suddenly thought of something, put down the pottery basin and covered his chest with his hands.

"Hey, I don't sell myself."

Now it was Huanxi's turn to be speechless.

"Master Chen, you think too much."
