Jiang Huaifu was right. A girl's intimate clothing should not be given away casually. But why does this one have a fragrance?
“I know what you’re worried about. This dyeing method is called fragrance soaking, which means soaking the silk in a dye full of floral and fruity fragrances, so that the silk has a sweet fragrance that will not fade even after repeated washing. This is also a selling point of Nanzhao silk.”
"There's something like this?"
"There are many things you haven't seen yet, so if you want to make money, you need to see and learn more. Don't be arrogant at such a young age."
Song He'er rolled her eyes at him. Was she arrogant and haughty?
Okay, even if she's arrogant, she has the right to be. For example, as a modern person who transmigrated to this godforsaken era, she should know how to save lives, right? She should also know the principles of high technology, right?
It's just that the opportunity wasn't right, so it wasn't useful...
"Alright, stop muttering. It's time for you to go back. But I'm curious, how did you manage to get away with it from your stepmother?"
"Uh... I mean, going up the mountain to find medicinal herbs."
"Looking for medicinal herbs? You dare to lie like that? What if you go back empty-handed?"
After his reminder, Song He'er realized that she still had an important matter to attend to: quickly find a pharmacy and buy some cheap raw herbs so as not to arouse their suspicion.
Raw herbs are those that have not yet been dried or processed. The herbs previously stored in the space were all finished products that could be directly used to decoct medicine, but that probably won't work.
“I’ll have my servant buy it for you,” Jiang Huaifu said.
Before Song He'er could refuse, the servant behind her had already left first.
"You must keep the hairpin I gave you safe. Consider it my way of repaying your kindness. I've never liked owing people anything."
Jiang Huaifu smiled and said, "It's safe to keep. It's right here!"
After saying that, Jiang Huaifu patted his chest, a gesture full of provocation.
Song He'er rolled her eyes at him and stopped talking.
The servant was quick and returned in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Song He'er took her things, quickly boarded the carriage, and began her journey back.
It took another hour to return from the Nanzhao border to the Xinzhou border, and by then the sun was already setting.
Song He'er quickly changed back into her original clothes and hurriedly prepared to disembark.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to hand two documents to Jiang Huaifu.
"What's this?"
"These are my brother's and my adoption papers, and my stepmother's discarded books. Do you have any connections in this area? You can send these to the government for registration. That way, even if Song Xiaoqi makes a huge mistake in the future, it won't implicate us."
Jiang Huaifu accepted it without hesitation.
"I'll take care of this. As for these clothes... do you want to take them down?"
"take."
Song He'er took the silk robe and hurriedly disembarked from the boat.
Although this garment cannot be seen by others, she has a spatial ability to store it freely, so it doesn't matter if she carries it with her.
When Song He'er returned to her residence, Qin Xiaoniang and the others had already finished their work and were sitting at the door chatting.
"Mother, why are you all sitting in the wind? Aren't you cold?"
When Qin Xiaoniang saw that it was Song He'er who had returned, she replied happily, "Your third uncle was worried about you just now. What a coincidence, you're back now. I still believe in my daughter, don't I? I knew you were alright and would definitely come back safely."
"Hmm, there are some herbs on the mountain, but not many. I'll take them to the merchants tonight and see how much they can get in exchange..."
As she spoke, Song He'er took off the bamboo basket and poured out the herbs from it.
Of these people, apart from Song He'er and Qin Xiaoniang who had glanced at medical books a few times, the others rarely studied this subject and therefore did not know it at all.
"He'er, how much can these sell for?" Zhang Xiu'e asked.
"Hmm... I'm not sure either. I don't know which ones are valuable, but this Dendrobium officinale is a very rare medicinal herb. There's only one plant, so it might sell for a few strings of cash..."
"How many strings of cash? If it's really that much, then we've got the mud for plastering the walls, and we can buy quite a bit of rice too!"
"Third Aunt, stop thinking about whether or not to wallpaper the walls. You should think more about how to make more money. Maybe in the future we can buy timber and we won't have to live in this dilapidated cave anymore, and we won't have to use these adobe bricks to build the walls!"
Song He'er slowly began to get to the point.
Zhang Xiu'e was a straightforward person, without any hidden agendas, so she didn't immediately understand what Song He'er was implying.
“Our He’er is the smartest, let’s hear what she has to say first!” Qin Xiaoniang said with a smile.
Song He'er breathed a sigh of relief and slowly replied, "Everyone knows my father's style of doing things. What he's doing now is risking the extermination of his entire family. We absolutely cannot be ruined by him. So this morning, I asked my third uncle for the adoption certificate in order to sever ties with him. But that's not enough. What if the Emperor is furious and sends people to arrest us?"
Song Xiaoyu most likely understood what Song He'er meant, but she wasn't sure yet.
"So you mean we should run away?"
Zhang Xiue shook her head repeatedly, "No, no! Where can we escape to? The Su River is raging, and the banks are so wide, we can't escape!"
Zhang Xiue's thinking was not without basis. After all, from their perspective, there were no boats, no helpers, and even if they managed to cross the river, they would have nowhere to stay.
Moreover, they were refugees without any official registration documents. How much courage would the local government of Nanzhao have to take them in?
"Don't be in such a hurry, let He'er finish speaking," Song Xiaoyu scolded.
"He'er is just a child, it's understandable that she doesn't think things through. How come you're not a child anymore, yet you're joining in the commotion?"
"I... can't be bothered to argue with you!"
Song Xiaoyu had heard some things about Jiang Huaifu from Song Xiaoqi during the day, so he must have guessed that Song He'er had someone helping her, but as her uncle, he couldn't expose it in front of everyone.
"If Third Uncle is willing to believe in me, why can't you give it a try? What if I told you that someone is willing to help us?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoniang's ears perked up instantly. "Help us? Who?"
Song He'er was extremely embarrassed by Qin Xiaoniang's words. "Mother, can you please not get so agitated? If you keep this up, I won't say anything more!"
"Alright, alright, Mother won't say anything more. Now tell me everything..."
