Chapter 455 A Family of纨绔 (Wán kù, a spoiled and dissolute family) Causes the Death of the Entire Court (8)

“You always surprise me with what you ask for. There are so many good things in your cave, but you always only pick out some inconspicuous ones for me to get.”

Jin Shu poured out the seeds from the bag and carefully separated them by candlelight.

"I even possess the most precious treasures that created the world, but would you agree to give them to me?"

"Won't."

That solves it.

Jin Shu has a ton of treasures; if she could use them at will, the tasks in these small worlds would be a piece of cake for her.

They can come today and leave tomorrow.

But it's clear that Arnold wouldn't agree.

Jin Shu wouldn't make a fool of herself; she understood the principle of slow and steady wins the race.

Getting even this much stuff each time is a huge help to her.

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest. You can leave this to me."

Jin Shu is still sorting the seeds.

Jin Shu didn't know when Arno left, but he never spoke again, so she assumed he had left.

When the sound of the wind outside the window disappeared, a silent stillness spread. Jin Shu raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky.

Yes, it's around 10 p.m.

Although the bag contained only a small handful of seeds, each one was different. Jin Shu's eyesight was too poor to see the seeds clearly, so she could only rely on rubbing each seed between her fingertips to determine what kind of plant it was.

What should have been a task that took ten minutes or so turned into a task that took Jin Shu more than ten hours to sort all the seeds because of her poor eyesight.

Some seeds with unique shapes are relatively easy to distinguish, but most of them look exactly the same. The only difference is the color, which Jin Shu cannot see. So she can only rely on touch, smell, and rubbing to make a little judgment.

These were given to her by an ordinary person when she was learning farming from him.

He said these were seeds he had researched over the years, and they could thrive in any environment.

Jin Shu has met too many people in her life to remember what that person looked like, but she vaguely remembers his name: Ji.

Later, he was made the god in charge of grain in the world, and mortals called him the God of Grain.

After finishing tidying up the grain seeds, Jin Shu lay on the bed and rested for a while, then closed her eyes and applied a warm towel to them.

Having lived for so long, Jin Shu's medical skills were quite good. She roughly knew what kind of eye disease the original owner had that caused her to not be able to see clearly.

In modern times, a corneal replacement surgery would restore sight, but in ancient times, the problem was much more serious.

However, it's not entirely without a solution.

With careful recuperation, although it may not be possible to fully restore one's sight, it will certainly be much better than it is now.

These days of seeing things in a blur are too difficult to endure, but given the current limited resources, Jin Shu can only learn to adapt slowly.

The original owner was half-blind for a long time. Because she always had maids to help her when she went out, she was still not very familiar with some places in the Jin Mansion even though she was eighteen years old.

This gave those unruly servants the opportunity to bully her. Although it was their own home, those servants were much more familiar with every corner of the Jin family mansion than Jin Shu was. They united against her, and even though Jin Shu often stumbled and had minor injuries, the Jin family could not find anything suspicious and simply assumed that Jin Shu had tripped accidentally.

The Jin family went through wave after wave of personal maids, and they were all worried about how to find a suitable maid who could take good care of Jin Shu.

But they never expected that everyone in the vast Begonia Garden was a bad person.

After witnessing Qinghe's fate, the newly arrived Green Bamboo became even more respectful. Even though Jin Shu couldn't see clearly, she didn't dare to deceive her in the slightest.

"Miss, someone has come to report from outside the courtyard that it is Miss Jin the Second."

Miss Jin the Second?

Jin Shu smiled.

Before I could even contact her, she came to me on her own initiative.

"Let her in."

With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, Jin gave everyone in the family extra allowance so that they could buy new clothes for the festival.

When Jin Chuyao arrived, Jin Shu was measuring clothes.

She took a closer look and immediately recognized that the several bolts of Jiangnan brocade on the table were quite expensive. In the entire He'an County, only the Jin family could afford to buy such material in bulk to make clothes.

"Sister, how have you been these days?"

Jin Shu sat upright, while the embroiderer and tailor carefully took her measurements, one on each side.

Jin Chuyao arrived, but Jin Shu showed no intention of getting up. She squinted slightly and yawned listlessly.

The maid, Green Bamboo, stood to the side, holding a cup of tea, ready to hand it to Jin Shu at any moment.

Seeing this, Jin Chuyao curled her lips into a cold smile.

“Life is tough for ordinary people these days, but my sister seems to be living a more and more comfortable life.”

As she said this, she couldn't help but stare intently at Jin Shu's face.

Because she was pampered from a young age, with every aspect of her life being carefully considered, Jin Shu now has delicate features, with eyebrows curved like the moon, and round, jade-like cheeks the size of a palm. Any more or less would make her look fat or thin, and she is currently neither too fat nor too thin. Her rosy face is charming and innocent, and even without smiling, her red lips give people a friendly and likable feeling.

Aside from her appearance, Jin Shu's hair was adorned with gold thread flowers in various patterns, and two large pearls were the least valuable items she owned.

Thinking that their ancestors were the same, yet they now live such different lives, Jin Chuyao tightened her face, withdrew the smile from the corner of her mouth, but her voice remained gentle and smiling.

Seeing her expression and tone, Green Bamboo was stunned.

This Miss Jin doesn't seem like a kind person either.

"Sister, I heard you were in a bad mood yesterday and sent a maid away. My aunt asked me to come and have a chat with you."

Madam Jin trusted Jin Chuyao quite a bit. Although they were about the same age, Jin Chuyao was steady and reliable in her work. Although she was just a cousin of the family, she helped Madam Jin handle many trivial matters in the household. She even knew about things on the estate outside, such as the arrangement of tenant farmers and how much rent to collect.

Therefore, although she is not Jin Shu's biological daughter, Jin Chuyao's status and position are now no less than Jin Shu's, and she basically has everything that Jin Shu has.

Jin Shou'an cared for her even more, always sending her the best food and drinks to Jin Chuyao's courtyard as soon as possible, treating her even more intimately than his own sister, Jin Shu.

In the original storyline, the original owner often lost her temper over this matter.

When Jin Chuyao first entered the Jin family mansion, the original owner did not have much resistance. However, as Jin Chuyao stayed in the mansion for longer and became closer to the family, and because the original owner had poor eyesight, it was Jin Chuyao who usually went out with Madam Jin to meet guests.
