After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

I saw that both doors of the thatched house were open.

She walked into a room, which was like a world apart from the simple thatched house outside.

A large bed, a tall wardrobe, a dressing table, and when she opened the wardrobe, she found silk quilts and bedding neatly stacked inside.

The patterns on it looked like they were hand-embroidered, and were extremely exquisite.

Jiang Shuyue touched the soft mattress and was overjoyed. Was she living a life with a car and a house?

She even carried this house with her.

She came to another room.

Rows of wooden boxes were placed against the wall.

She suppressed her excitement and reached out to the wooden box.

She silently recited gold, silver and jewelry in her heart.

The lid of the wooden box was opened, and a box of black things similar to rabbit feces appeared in front of her.

She grabbed a handful and sniffed it. It was not smelly, but exuded a faint fragrance.

She opened the wooden boxes one by one, and there were some strange seeds inside.

After covering the wooden box, she went to see the medicinal materials she had planted in the spiritual soil.

The newly planted herbs are already more than a foot tall, and they can be transplanted to the mountain in a few days.

After watering the herbs with spiritual spring water, she looked at the horse grazing in the distance.

That was the horse she took from the farm.

Jiang Shuyue frowned slightly. The fastest means of transportation here is the horse. She should learn to ride a horse.

One morning, after breakfast, Su Jin carefully put the prepared herbs into a cloth bag.

"Sister, the herbs prepared can be sold at several times the price. How much is the appropriate price for these red ginseng?" The handsome face of the young man raised and looked at Jiang Shuyue.

Jiang Shuyue put down the bowl and said, "Sister and Qiuju will go to the county town with you. The price in the town is too low."

"Mom! Sister, I will buy you all the things you need."

Su Nan saw that his elder brother did not ask him. He looked at the cloth bag of medicinal herbs with his eyes shining: "Big brother, can you buy me an abacus? I have learned all the formulas that my elder sister taught me to recite."

Jiang Shuyue rubbed Su Nan's head: "Our Nan Nan will be a big shopkeeper in the future, so an abacus is indispensable."

Su Hui shook her head to indicate that she didn't need anything.

Aunt Su looked down at Sui Sui in her arms, thought for a while and said, "Buy some cotton cloth to make clothes for Sui Sui in autumn and winter."

"Mom, I know." Su Jin turned around and went to hitch the mule cart.

Jiang Shuyue handed the medicinal herbs to Qiu Ju, took her son from Aunt Su's arms and kissed him on his chubby face.

"Sui Sui, be good. Mom will be back in the afternoon."

"Mom!"

The little guy's phoenix eyes suddenly misted up, and his little hands hugged Jiang Shuyue's neck and refused to let go.

Jiang Shuyue looked at Sui Sui's lively phoenix eyes, which looked more and more like the one in her memory, and felt inexplicably guilty.

These children don't look like her at all, and they probably look exactly like that person.

She couldn't help but worry secretly, whether someone would come to claim her relatives and snatch her Sui Sui away when she returned to the capital.

Seeing Sui Sui's clingy appearance, Su Nan coaxed her in a gentle voice: "Do you want to go see Brother Shuisheng?"

Speaking of Shuisheng, the little guy's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Looking for Shengsheng."

Xu Shuisheng was only three years older than Sui Sui. His father was arrested and sent to the army as soon as he got married. Villagers who had never been trained were dragged to the battlefield.

The border soon sent back the bad news. Xu Shuisheng's mother left Yunling Village after giving birth to him and remarried somewhere else.

Xu Shuisheng and his grandmother were left to depend on each other.

In recent years, the Su family often helped the poor grandparents and grandchildren.

After Jiang Shuyue came here, she often helped them openly and secretly.

Shuisheng, who was already more than four years old, was very active. Although he was a small person, he was very strong and could already lift a bucket of rice.

Shuisheng and Suisui were the closest in age in the village. Every time Su Nan brought Suisui to Shuisheng's house, the little guy would have fun playing with him.

Watching Su Nan leave with Suisui, Jiang Shuyue went back to the yard to get a veil hat and put it on.

Not long ago, when she went to the town, she met a fat, big-eared, middle-aged man in a silk dress who chased her and asked her where she was from.

Qiuju was so scared that she pulled her and turned around and ran away.

If she had traveled through time a few years earlier, she would have learned martial arts and beaten the lecher to pieces if she met him.

Now she only puts her hope on Suisui.

It was almost noon when the three of them arrived in the county town.

Jiang Shuyue led the two of them directly to Jimin Hall, and sold the herbs for a full fifty-five taels.

The old doctor was surprised to see Jiang Shuyue again.

"It turns out that the young lady has found a place to stay in Zhuxi County. Many women come to my clinic for treatment. If the young lady is willing, you can come to Jimin Hall. I will only treat women. The monthly fee can be negotiated."

The old doctor spoke sincerely.

"Thank you, senior, I really can't come." Jiang Shuyue refused decisively.

The old doctor looked regretful and had to say: "If the young lady can prepare red ginseng again, no matter how big or small, please come to Jimin Hall to sell it."

After saying goodbye to the old doctor, Jiang Shuyue put down her veil and said to Su Jin: "Ajin, let's go to the horse market."

At this time, the market was about to end, and the sellers were eager to get rid of their things, so they would not ask for high prices like at the beginning.

Su Jin was confused. Why did he go to the horse market to buy cotton cloth?

"A man should learn to ride a horse, so that he can be faster than others wherever he goes."

Jiang Shuyue saw that Su Jin had not understood what she meant, so she continued: "For example, if we sell the red ginseng today in the capital, we can sell it for at least twice as much, or even more silver."

Su Jin touched the silver in his arms: "A horse is not cheap, it costs dozens of taels at a time, and we don't have enough silver."

"It's okay. Sister brought silver. It should be enough."

"Sister, that's all the dowry you sold. You still have to support Sui Sui. I can't spend your silver." Su Jin stopped.

"We are a family. Don't say two things. If we go up the mountain to collect herbs a few more times, it will be enough for us to live."

Su Jin thought that he could ride a horse and sell the herbs in Beijing at a high price. He nodded and turned the mule cart to the horse market.

When he walked into the horse market, an unpleasant smell hit him.

Through the veil, Jiang Shuyue saw several horse dealers chatting together. More than ten horses stood and stepped on their hooves anxiously from time to time.

Jiang Shuyue asked Qiuju to watch the mule cart, and she and Su Jin walked over.

The horse dealer glanced at the two of them and saw that they were wearing cotton clothes and did not look like people who could afford horses. He turned around and continued talking.

Jiang Shuyue had read in a book that when buying a horse, one must look at the horse's teeth and hooves, which can tell the horse's age and health.

"Young man, do you want to buy a young horse or an adult horse?" A middle-aged man squatted behind the horse dealers. Seeing Su Jin carefully looking at the horse, he stood up and asked.

Jiang Shuyue lifted her veil and pointed at a thin, reddish-brown pony: "This horse is weak and has not been trained yet. How much do you want to sell it for?"

"Do you know horses, girl?" The horse dealer saw Jiang Shuyue look at the horse's teeth and squatted down to look at the horse's hooves carefully.

Jiang Shuyue did not comment.

The horse dealer was even more certain that the two people must be people who know horses.

He stretched out a hand: "This horse is not yet an adult. I think you are also people who know horses. It's getting late, so I won't talk about the price. A good adult horse should be sold for ninety taels of silver. This horse will be sold to you for fifty taels of silver."

Su Jin was secretly happy that he had some money left after buying the horse.

He looked at Jiang Shuyue, waiting for her to make a decision.
