Guard C went back and told Master D about this matter.
The father and son were both shocked and moved.
They didn’t have much of a relationship with the Third Young Master. Previously, Guard C helped the Third Young Master sell eggs at the market, just to earn some money by running errands.
But he never expected that when the two of them were in trouble, Master D’s two apprentices tore off their faces and acted in a ferocious manner, while none of Guard C’s guard friends took out a penny to help and instead mocked him.
And in the end, it was the Third Young Master who silently helped them!
After leaving the medicine bag that day, he also left a special note on how to decoct and take the medicine next to it. If it hadn’t been discovered by Guard C that the handwriting was the same as Third Young Master’s, maybe the Third Young Master didn’t intend to tell them about his help at all!
“If it weren’t for that package of cold medicine, I would have been lying in the coffin now.” Master Ding sighed, “This is how adversity reveals a person’s true heart! Think about that housekeeper, who knew that I was seriously ill, but still falsely accused me of stealing, hoping to force me to pack up and leave! Instead, it was the Third Young Master who saved you and me.”
“I was coughing up blood a few days ago, but I’m completely fine in the past two days.”
“This is a huge favor!”
Guard C was extremely ashamed, pulling his hair in annoyance, and said, “But I actually stole Third Young Master’s chicken tonight. Oh, I am really ashamed.”
Master Ding smiled bitterly and said, “Third Young Master may be young, but he is a generous man. He shouldn’t bother with you. He has done us a great favor. We must repay him in the future!”
Guard C nodded hurriedly.
When the father and son learned that the Third Young Master was the young miracle doctor who had been making the rounds in the capital recently, they were even more shocked than when they learned that the Third Young Master was their savior.
But after the shock, it seemed reasonable.
After all, whether it was the last time he was carrying water from the stream or the time when the imperial examiners came to test his riding and archery, the third young master was far better than the other two young masters in Ning Wang’s mansion.
It was not surprising that he could write prescriptions to cure diseases and save lives since the Third Young Master was well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics and had memorized the Compendium of Materia Medica.
And now, since the third young master didn’t want people to know that he was the young miracle doctor, he specifically instructed the father and son, one of whom was thick-skinned and the other honest, so naturally they would not spread the news.
However, after this incident, the father and son were a little excited.
After all, although Master Ding was good at farming, he had no place to use his skills in the mansion for many years and was bullied by the housekeeper everywhere. Guard Bing had strength but no brains, so he could only guard the side door of Ning Wang’s mansion and make a living with a meager salary.
But the Third Young Master was so smart, he would surely be very successful in the future and become a leader among men. If he and his son followed the Third Young Master, would they still have to worry about food and clothing?
After discussing this, the father and son went to find Lu Huan the next day.
….
When Su Xi came online again, she saw Guard Bing and Master Ding coming to look for the cub hesitantly, and she knew that her side quest should be completed.
As expected, a message popped up on the interface: [Congratulations on completing Side Mission 2! Received Coin Reward +30, Point Reward +2!]
Then two more notifications popped up.
[Guard C and Master D successfully joined the team.]
[Current talents under his command: Changgong Wu, Master Ding, and Guard C.]
Su Xi saw that in the talent column in the upper right corner, there were three stick-drawn figures lined up behind the cub. Changgong Wu was thin and hardworking, Master D was experienced, and the Guard C had six-pack abs and was simple-minded but very strong.
It could be said that these three younger brothers had their own strengths and had initially formed a small team.
She was a little happy and was thinking about how to arrange the careers of these three little guys, when she saw the cub wearing a cloak for going out and taking Guard C and Master D to the house in the outer city.
After completing the side quest, Su Xi had a total of 25 points and could unlock two more sections, so she asked the system to unlock the house and the farm under the name of the cub.
She switched the interface to the cub’s house in the outer city.
Su Xi was so sleepy yesterday that she almost forgot to take a good look around the cub’s new house. Now she was dragging the screen, looking around, feeling as excited as if she had bought a new house.
Although Zhong Ganping was not a big shot in the capital, he was still a well-known wealthy businessman. It was impossible for him to be too stingy to his savior.
Therefore, although this house was in the outer city, the entire courtyard was very exquisite, with pavilions, winding corridors, pink walls, and rocks. In a word, it was even more magnificent than the courtyard of Lu Yu’an, the eldest son of Ning Wang’s mansion!
Su Xi was very excited and went to take a look at the farm belonging to the cub outside the capital.
Although it was only five acres of land, it looked very large because it was on a hillside and you couldn’t see the end at a glance.
The snow covered the ground with a layer of white. By the spring, it would surely be a very good piece of land.
After she looked at the entire farm, she returned to the house and continued to wander around until the cub appeared.
Changgong Wu had been eagerly waiting for the baby to come. When he saw the baby appear, he was very happy and ran over to greet him from a distance.
Then, Su Xi saw the interface pop up again and again——
“Changgong Wu diligently made a cup of tea for the protagonist.”
“Guard C hurriedly went to move a stool and buy a plaque so that the protagonist could write an inscription for this house.”
“Master Ding is old and can’t do much work, but he found a broom and started sweeping the yard.”
Before, the cub was alone. Although he was the third young master of Ning Wang’s mansion, because he was born as a concubine’s son and the wife of Ning Wang was stingy, he did everything by himself and rarely asked the servants to do anything.
Now, not only this house and this farm, but also these three stick-drawn figures were his assets.
Who didn’t want their child to get better and better when playing games? Therefore, when Su Xi saw this scene, she sniffed and thought with satisfaction that she had helped the child take the first step.
But it was obvious that the cub didn’t care about these people. He didn’t let the three stick-drawn figures continue to do those meaningless things. Instead, he called the three people over and instructed them to do some more important things.
Although these three people were born in the countryside, it did not mean that they did not have special skills.
Changgong Wu was cowardly but careful and meticulous.
In the past two days, Lu Huan disassembled the various structures of the cold-proof shed built by the man in the firewood yard one by one and drew them on paper with a brush. He took out a very detailed sketch and gave it to Changgong Wu, asking him to copy it. From today on, he would try to build several new cold-proof sheds on the farm with wood.
Guard C was simple-minded, but he worked hard and was good at running errands.
Lu Huan assigned him all the rough and heavy work and gave him some silver so that he could buy more affordable wood and ropes. In addition, he was also given the task of guarding the house and farm.
After all, Master Ding was old and lacked the physical strength to do heavy work, but he had his own experience in farming and other things.
So Lu Huan gave him the position of housekeeper of the mansion and asked him to go to the market when he was free, collect statistics on the price fluctuations of each crop over the years, record them on paper, and give them to him.
This allocation made things clear.
Su Xi saw the explanations given by the cub to several people popping up on the interface, and she opened her mouth wide, watching with great interest.
Changgong Wu did not quite understand the young benefactor’s idea. If he wanted to earn money, couldn’t he just ask the wealthy businessman Zhong Ganping for it? Why did he have to start his own business from a house and a farm?
But Su Xi could understand that the so-called way to make money was definitely not to blackmail someone for money by using the grace of saving his life.
This would always come to an end.
The most fulfilling thing was to make yourself rich and become the richest man in the capital or even in the State of Yan, rich enough to rival a country!
Su Xi was very excited when she thought of that step, and the sound of war drums rang in her mind!
…Of course, this was just the beginning.
The three little men quickly got busy.
