Chapter 193 Gift of treasure map!
"You are so weak, even if there is any, it is probably not much."
Jiang Wan had just specially asked Qingshan to buy some lactation-inducing herbs, intending to use them for Madam Chen.
There was no way. There was very little for babies to drink in ancient times, and there was no milk powder like there is today. If they didn’t drink breast milk, they would probably starve to death.
"Thank you, Princess. Can I talk to you alone for a moment?"
Madam Chen suddenly looked at the other people in the carriage, and Madam Song took the lead and said, "Of course you can.
You guys chat, we'll just go downstairs to prepare lunch."
As soon as she left, everyone else naturally followed suit and got off the carriage.
After everyone had left, Madam Chen stood up with difficulty, took off her shoes, and took out a fur roll from under her shoes.
Jiang Wan was bewildered by this scene. She only heard Chen Niang weakly say:
“I have no way of repaying the princess for saving my life and the lives of my children. This is our family heirloom.
Even if I were starving to death, I would not be willing to sell it, but I think it would be more useful to the princess than to me."
Jiang Wan took the scroll in a daze, and her originally indifferent expression changed instantly!
Because the treasure map is clearly written on it!
Oh my God, it’s actually a fragment of a treasure map. Yes, this is not a complete treasure map.
But based on her previous experience of watching TV dramas and reading novels, she can obtain incredible wealth by collecting all the treasure maps.
But this thing is not mine.
Jiang Wan pushed the item back, hesitatingly. "Sister, I can't accept this. It's too expensive."
This might be something that their Chen family has guarded for generations. How could they give it to her so easily?
"Princess, please accept it."
Madam Chen sighed quietly, "When I got married, my parents told me not to give my things to others at will.
But they also said, if one day I can’t even protect myself, then I will give this thing to the right person.”
"this……"
Jiang Wan's heart was beating wildly, but she also knew that this thing was too valuable!
What would she do if there really was a lot of gold, silver and treasures?
"On the bright side, if my husband is more capable, he can find the treasure, but we dare not use our criminal identities now.
At worst, my husband doesn’t have the ability to do this, so it’s best to give it to you, the princess.”
Madam Chen's expression was firm and didn't seem fake. Upon hearing that, Jiang Wan carefully took out a handkerchief and wrapped the sheepskin roll.
Then he put it into the space under the cover of his sleeve and said, “Then I will shamelessly take it.
If there is any treasure in the future, your family will definitely not be left out."
"The princess is joking."
Mrs. Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This has been passed down in our family for several generations.
It’s hard to say whether there is treasure or not, so don’t worry too much, Princess.”
"Thanks!"
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Jiang Wan was sincerely grateful to her, and her willingness to take this thing out was enough to show that she really trusted Jiang Wan.
"Wanwan, the food is ready."
Madam Song's gentle voice was heard outside. Jiang Wan smiled at Madam Chen and turned to get off the carriage.
Today's lunch was prepared by Madam Song, Song Jiuli and Lushui.
Song Jiuchi and Chen Ce were standing by, as a lot of their food had been donated to temples, and now they didn't have much left.
Fortunately, Jiang Wan had just smuggled some dried seafood and also got some dried vegetables.
So Mrs. Song made seafood porridge and dried beans, as well as a plate of dried fish.
Madam Song filled a bowl of seafood porridge and asked Chen Ce to feed Madam Chen. Lushui and Wenhao were about the same age, and they both held the bowls and ate together.
The food tasted so-so. Jiang Wan disliked its blandness, so she went out for a walk and brought back a basket of strawberries for everyone as an after-meal snack.
After eating, they did not wait for the people who were going to the town to purchase goods, but continued on their way, and Chen Ce became the one driving the carriage.
The cart was tied behind the carriage and didn't move fast, so it was relatively safe.
Madam Chen probably told Chen Ce about the treasure map, and he looked much relieved.
After all, their family owed Jiang Wan too much, and this treasure map could be considered as part of their repayment.
The weather was cold, and Chen Ce, who was driving the carriage outside, had his face red from the cold and his hands were covered with frostbite.
But he did not forget Jiang Wan's instructions and found a village to stay overnight before nightfall.
At the same time, Song Jiuyuan, Qingshan and others hurried over and finally caught up with them.
There were many things on the carriage, even a sheep, most of which were purchased by Song Jiuyuan and his team.
"You're back?"
Jiang Wan lifted the curtain of the carriage and met Song Jiuyuan's gentle eyes.
"Well, let's stay in the village tonight."
They looked towards the village, which was covered in snow.
There was no one on the village road. It was so cold that going out was a torture.
Qingshan jumped off the carriage smartly and said, "Master, I'll go knock on the door."
After getting the consent of Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan, Qingshan staggered and knocked on the door of the first resident.
Unfortunately, after knocking for a long time, no one opened the door, but Jiang Wan clearly saw a faint figure in the window.
Don't want to open the door to strangers?
There was nothing to be angry about, so they continued walking towards the village.
This time, Song Jiuyuan picked a family with the best-looking house and asked Qingshan to knock on the door.
After a while, the door was opened, revealing an old lady wrapped like a dumpling inside.
When he heard that the guest was looking for a place to stay, the man wanted to refuse, but his eyes fell on the luggage on the carriage, especially the sheep.
Her expression changed immediately, and she said to Qingshan in a flattering manner: "You can stay overnight, but my house is small and can't accommodate so many people."
"It's okay, we can just squeeze in."
Qingshan conveyed the old lady's meaning. Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other and did not complain.
The gate of the courtyard was opened wide, and they drove the carriage in, and all the people in the host's family ran out to see.
There were more than a dozen people of all ages standing behind the old lady. Jiang Wan glanced at the four rooms and immediately fell into deep thought.
Aunt Cai was a smart woman, she walked forward with a smile.
“My dear friends, although my house does not have many rooms, it is the most spacious in Lihua Village.
If my house can’t accommodate you, then no one else in the village can either. We will make two rooms available for you.”
"Thank you, big sister. We are not picky."
Mrs. Song should be about the same age as Mrs. Cai, and her face was full of smiles.
"We can just squeeze together, men in one room and women in another."
"I will listen to you."
Jiang Wan smiled and walked forward, and together with Qiu Niang, they supported Madam Song on the left and right.
Since being pardoned, they no longer wore tattered clothes. Instead, they wore fine goods bought by Jiang Wan, and it was obvious that they were noble people.
The little girls behind Aunt Cai looked at Jiang Wan and Song Jiuli's clothes and coats with envy, their eyes glowing green.
However, Jiang Wan didn't care much about it. It was normal for a girl to like beautiful things. She waited for Aunt Cai and the others to vacate the house.
They simply went straight into the house, and Qingshan and the others were busy helping them move their luggage.
