Both doors of the thatched hut were open.
She entered a room, and the inside was completely different from the simple thatched hut outside.
A large bed, a tall wardrobe, a dressing table; opening the wardrobe reveals neatly folded silk quilts and bedding.
The patterns on it look like they were hand-embroidered, and they are exceptionally exquisite.
Jiang Shuyue touched the soft mattress and was overjoyed. Was she finally living the life of owning a car and a house?
This house is still carried with you.
We arrived at another room.
Rows of wooden crates were placed against the wall.
She suppressed her excitement and reached for the wooden box.
He silently wished for gold and silver jewelry.
The wooden crate lid was opened, revealing a box full of dark, rabbit-dung-like stuff.
She grabbed a handful and sniffed it; it didn't smell bad, but rather had a faint, pleasant fragrance.
She opened the wooden boxes one by one, and they were filled with all sorts of strange seeds.
After closing the wooden box, she went to check on the medicinal herbs she had planted in the sacred soil.
The medicinal herbs, which were planted not long ago, are already over a foot tall. They will be ready to be transplanted to the mountain in a few days.
He poured the medicinal herbs over the spring water and gazed at the horses grazing with their heads down in the distance.
That was the horse she had taken from the estate.
Jiang Shuyue frowned slightly. The fastest mode of transportation here is a horse, and she should learn to ride one.
One morning, after breakfast, Su Jin carefully packed the prepared medicinal herbs into a cloth bag.
"The medicinal herbs that Sister prepares can fetch several times the price. How much should these few red ginseng roots be sold for?" The handsome young man raised his face and looked at Jiang Shuyue.
Jiang Shuyue put down her bowl and said, "Sister and Qiuju will go to the county town with you. The price offered in town is too low."
"Mother! Sister, whatever you need, I'll buy it for you."
Seeing that his older brother hadn't asked him anything, Su Nan's eyes lit up as he looked at the cloth bag containing the medicinal herbs: "Big brother, can you buy me an abacus? I've learned all the mnemonics that my sister taught me to memorize."
Jiang Shuyue rubbed Su Nan's head: "Our Nan Nan will be a big manager in the future, so how can she be without an abacus?"
Su Hui shook her head, indicating that she didn't need anything.
Aunt Su looked down at Sui Sui in her arms, thought for a moment and said, "Buy some cotton cloth to make clothes for Sui Sui in autumn and winter."
"Mother, I understand." Su Jin turned around and went to hitch up the mule cart.
Jiang Shuyue handed the medicinal herbs to Qiuju, then took her son from Aunt Su's arms and gave him a quick kiss on his chubby little face.
"Sui Sui, be good. Mommy will be back this afternoon."
"mother!"
The little one's phoenix eyes immediately welled up with tears, and he wrapped his little arms around Jiang Shuyue's neck, refusing to let go.
As Jiang Shuyue looked at Sui Sui's bright phoenix eyes, which were becoming more and more like the one in her memory, she felt inexplicably guilty.
These children don't resemble me at all; they probably look exactly like that person.
She couldn't help but worry that when she returned to the capital, someone might come to claim her as a relative and take her away.
Seeing Sui Sui's clingy appearance, Su Nan gently coaxed, "Sui Sui, do you want to see Brother Shui Sheng?"
When the topic of aquatic life came up, the little guy's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Find Sheng Sheng!"
Xu Shuisheng was only three years older than Sui Sui. His father was conscripted into the army shortly after getting married, and villagers who had never been trained were dragged to the battlefield.
The bad news soon came from the frontier: Xu Shuisheng's mother left Yunling Village after giving birth to him and remarried elsewhere.
Xu Shuisheng and his grandmother were left to depend on each other for survival.
Over the years, the Su family has frequently provided assistance to that poor grandmother and grandson.
After Jiang Shuyue arrived here, she often helped him openly or secretly.
Shuisheng, who is over four years old, is very active. Despite his small size, he is incredibly strong and can already lift a peck of rice.
In the village, Shuisheng's age is the closest to Suisui's. Every time Su Nan brings Suisui to Shuisheng's house, the little girl plays there and doesn't want to leave.
Watching Su Nan carry Sui Sui away, Jiang Shuyue went back to the courtyard and took out a veiled hat to put on.
Not long ago, when I went to town, I encountered a fat, middle-aged man dressed in silk who kept asking me where I was from.
Startled, Qiuju grabbed her and turned to run.
If she had transmigrated a few years earlier, she would definitely have learned martial arts and beaten any lecherous man she encountered to a pulp.
Now she pins all her hopes on Sui Sui.
The three arrived in the county town close to noon.
Jiang Shuyue led the two directly to Jimintang, where the medicinal herbs sold for a full fifty-five taels.
When the old doctor saw Jiang Shuyue again, he looked surprised.
"So the young lady has already found a place to stay in Zhuxi County. Many women come to my clinic for treatment. If you are willing, you can come to Jimin Hall. I only treat women. The monthly fee is negotiable."
The old doctor spoke earnestly.
"Thank you, senior, but I really can't come." Jiang Shuyue declined decisively.
The old doctor looked regretful and could only say, "If you can process red ginseng again, regardless of size, please come to Jimintang to sell it."
After bidding farewell to the old doctor, Jiang Shuyue lowered her veil and said to Su Jin, "Ajin, let's go to the horse market."
The market is almost over now, and the vendors are eager to sell their goods, so they won't be asking for high prices like they did at the beginning.
Su Jin was completely confused. Why go to the horse market to buy cotton cloth?
"A real man should learn to ride a horse so he can go anywhere faster than others."
Seeing that Su Jin still didn't understand her meaning, Jiang Shuyue continued, "For example, the red ginseng we sold today, if we went to the capital to sell it, we could sell it for at least twice as much, or even more, silver."
Su Jin touched the silver in his pocket: "A horse is not cheap, it can easily cost several dozen taels, and we don't have enough silver on hand."
"It's alright, my sister brought some silver, it should be enough."
