"...Uncle Mu?"
Looking at the ragged man in front of her, Jiang Wan spoke tentatively.
Mu Hong looked at his clothes, which were worn out and even covered in dust, and he felt a little embarrassed.
“…Ginger girl.”
Hearing his response, Jiang Wan quickly put down the jade token in her hand, walked over and supported him.
"Uncle Mu, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Hong smiled bitterly and let her support him as he walked to the yard and sat down.
After a moment, he looked up at her.
"Jiang girl, you are right. Yunlu Academy is no longer what it used to be. If Ali were to go in, it would probably backfire."
"Have you been at Yunlu Academy all this time?"
When he left, he said he wanted to visit Yunlu Academy, but he was away for such a long time, and she thought Mu Hong had encountered other things to deal with.
"I'm ashamed to say that."
Mu Hong sighed and then looked up.
"After I told you about Yunlu Academy that day, I started to have doubts. The next day, I went to Yunlu Academy to check for information, but was chased out by the people there..."
At that time, he still held onto hope and wandered around Yunlu Academy. After many days, he finally found out that Yunlu Academy had already changed its dean and was no longer the same as before...
Hearing this, Jiang Wan's eyes flashed slightly.
So that's how it is. In this case, the actions of Yunlu Academy in the previous life were not done by Uncle Mu's friends, but by the current dean.
"I didn't expect that things and people have changed now. It's my limitation."
"Uncle Mu, there's no need to do this. People's hearts have changed. From the beginning to the end, we can't interfere with what others do. We can only do our best to do our best."
"Besides, Uncle Mu now sees clearly and is free from pain sooner rather than later. He doesn't need to worry about this matter anymore."
Rather than being affected by the truth that is suddenly learned, it is better to find out the truth early so that you will not be burdened by the truth in the future.
"Jiang girl, sometimes when I hear you say these things, I always feel like you've been through a lot. You haven't even reached marriage age yet, so how can you feel this way?"
Jiang Wan just smiled and said nothing more.
Mu Hong sighed. It was a pity that he was so much older than Jiang Wan, but he couldn't see things as clearly as she did.
"Sir, you're back!"
When Jiang Li walked out of the room, he saw Mu Hong in the yard.
He ran over happily.
"A-Li, have you fallen behind on your studies during the few days I've been away?"
"Don't worry, sir. I have taken the assignments you gave me to heart and have completed them all."
"That's great."
After saying that, Mu Hong's gaze fell on the yard.
Compared to the previous thatched house, this yard is much larger, and the houses in front are also very exquisite, and the rows of red bricks are particularly attractive.
"A-Li, Uncle Mu has returned exhausted. Take him back to his room to rest first."
"I understand, sis."
Now she still has 500 taels of silver from selling ointments. Although it sounds like a lot, if she uses it, the money will still flow like water.
I have to continue making puppets. Although it is just a way to make a living, once there are more of them, there will definitely be many people imitating me.
By then, these things will no longer be so valuable, and we will have to come up with a new way.
You can't just live off the savings.
"Wanwan, what are you thinking about?"
Zhang Xiaoyun went out and saw her sitting in the yard in a daze, so he walked over with light steps.
"Xiaoyun, you're here."
"Wanwan, you've been sitting here all morning. Is there something bothering you?"
"Well, I was wondering what I could do after I got home."
"Hmm? Aren't Auntie and the others making dolls? Wanwan, don't you want to make these dolls anymore?"
Zhang Xiaoyun already knew that these puppets were a very valuable business. Was Wanwan going to give up?
Jiang Wan shook her head.
"That's not the case."
"If the people in this town discover the ingenuity of the puppets, they will definitely try to imitate them. Although we have seized the initiative, we will definitely be impacted later."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyun understood instantly.
"Have you thought about it?"
Jiang Wan shook her head, but she had a general idea.
"Xiao Yun, please help clean up these medicines in the yard first. I'm going to look for my mother."
"Okay, Wanwan, don't worry."
Su Yun was still embroidering a purse in the house, with a few dolls at hand.
Seeing Jiang Wan come in, she put down the needle and thread in her hand and rubbed her eyes.
"Mother, the light in the room is dim and you are feeling heavy. The aunties in the village are here to help. You can take a rest."
"It costs one person's money to hire someone, and Mom is thinking of saving some money."
Su Yun smiled gently. Her daughter supported the whole family by herself, and it was not easy for her to earn this money. She would save as much as she could.
"Mother, you can earn more money, but your health is more important."
Su Yun raised his hand and patted the back of her hand.
"Wanwan, I promise you, I will do what I can."
"You came here to see mother, is there something wrong?"
"Mom, I want to buy a shop in town."
"shop?"
Su Yun was stunned. "But what can we do after buying a shop?"
"The last time Miss Wang came here, I gave her a box of beauty ointment. I was thinking about whether it would be possible to combine medicinal herbs with cosmetics to beautify the face without damaging the skin."
"Also, I've observed that most of the rouge and powder shops in town only sell ordinary rouge and powder, and they are expensive. So far, there are no rouge and powder that are combined with herbs."
