The Zeng father and son might not even dare to step outside to buy groceries.
“I’ve caused trouble for you.”
“Miss Lin, what are you saying? It’s not any trouble at all.”
Old Man Zeng placed the bamboo basket that was on his shoulder down, and Zeng Yulang immediately picked it up and took it to the kitchen.
“Uncle Zeng, you’ve truly raised a good son. I’ve seen scholar-sons from other families who command their parents to do chores, unlike Brother Yulang, who helps you with the work.”
Lin Caisang looked at Zeng Yulang’s retreating figure, smiled.
This Zeng Yulang was rather like her cousin Lin Changfeng, both were mindful to take care of the elders at home. Such people would undoubtedly make excellent officials when they make a name for themselves.
Speaking of his son, Old Man Zeng was also smiling, his mouth curling up at the corners with a touch of pride.
“My son, not to boast, but there’s not a single scholar in all of Jianan City who can rival him. He pitches in at home, drawing water, chopping wood, doing laundry and cooking, always eager to take these tasks off my plate.”
However, as he was talking, the smile at the corner of his mouth faded.
It was because of his son’s filial piety and his willingness to do the heavy work at home that people looked down on him, taking a jab at his face and even making him lose a marriage proposal.
But he never thought his son did anything wrong. Anyway, when his son makes a name for himself in the future, those people would regret it. By then, even if they regret, there wouldn’t even be anywhere for them to go to cry!
“Dad, don’t praise me like that, it’s making me blush. You say it like it’s nothing, but I’m getting embarrassed.”
Zeng Yulang came over after putting the things away, still holding a few pieces of paper in his hand.
“Miss Lin, these are the requests from those people, written down as per their demands. You have a look first. I guess they’ll be here soon. Later, I’ll have my dad bring a table for you to place in the courtyard, so you can sit and chat with them.”
She took the papers from his hand, and together with Ya Molian, examined the list of items.
“Brother Molian, these people really have some nerve! Do they think my scar removal ointment is abundant as cabbages and radishes? Ten boxes are already quite astonishing, yet there’s an order for a hundred boxes. What are they thinking?”
Zeng Yulang had recorded in great detail: which family? The name of the head of the household? What items they wanted? How many? All were recorded clearly.
However, when she saw the order for a hundred boxes of scar removal ointment, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Ya Molian, looking at the order for one hundred boxes that Lin Caisang had pointed out, glanced at the head of the household’s name.
“Brother Molian, do you know him?” Lin Caisang looked up at him and asked.
“I don’t know him, but I’ve heard of him. Zhi Lingyang is a great general of the Liang Kingdom, he has vanquished countless enemies, and the numerous scars on his body prove it. So for him, a hundred boxes of scar removal ointment is really not a lot.”
Normally, such items should be rewards given to him by the emperor. However, where could one find medicines that could remove all the scars on one’s body? The ones in the market are all just famous in name but not useful in reality.
Now that they have finally encountered something that works, it’s understandable that Zhi Lingyang would want to stock up.
“So, he is a great general.” Lin Caisang nods in comprehension.
If it’s a general, then it’s understandable. No matter if he uses it now or in the future, it’s better to be prepared than caught off guard.
