"If you don't come, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble."
When saying goodbye to Zhuang Xueling, Jing Wenshu was standing by.
No one knew what had happened between the two of them, and both of them looked unhappy.
It was not until Tian Nongxi and Wen Tingluan pushed the door open that they suddenly smiled.
Sensing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Tian Nongxi made the excuse that he was in a hurry to go to the pharmacy and did not stay for dinner.
Zhuang Jing and the other man sent her to the gate of the Zhuang Mansion. Tian Nongxi's hands were almost broken from waving, and the two men barely stopped.
When she walked onto the street, she could still feel two thorny gazes from behind.
After moving closer to Wen Tingluan calmly, Tian Nongxi coughed twice in an artificial manner.
Wen Tingluan laughed and asked what was wrong.
Tian Nongxi blinked, and immediately took the moral high ground and asked him why he had hidden everything from her.
"Hide it from you?" Wen Tingluan turned his head to look at the girl who asked the stall owner for two bowls of wontons, with a faint smile on his lips.
"Yeah, you hid it from me." Tian Nongxi became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He folded his hands over his chest, turned his head away, and quickly walked to the stall and sat down.
It was neither early nor late, and everyone who was supposed to eat had already eaten. There was only one table sitting at the stall, so the wontons came out very quickly.
After thanking him, Tian Nongxi turned around and saw a spoon silently placed in her bowl. The "culprit" was looking at her with a smile, looking in a very good mood.
He watched her bend down to scoop wontons, hissing from the heat. He poured her a cup of cold tea and handed it to her, saying, "Eat slowly. I'm going to be honest with you."
The word "frank" was expressed very lightly, which added a touch of charm.
Tian Nongxi wasn't sure if the man in front of him did it on purpose, so he put down his teacup and didn't respond, but his ears had already pricked up.
Two months ago, the Dali Temple caught a fugitive criminal. The man was very tight-lipped and no matter what tricks were used, they could not get him to talk.
In the middle of the night, he bit his tongue and committed suicide when the jailer was not paying attention, and was not discovered until the next day.
"I dissected him and found a secret letter in his stomach." Wen Tingluan said in a light tone. It was not until he saw Tian Nongxi not eating the wontons but staring at him that he realized that this behavior was not normal.
"It wasn't me, I was watching."
"I didn't watch them. They reported to me after they finished."
Wen Tingluan looked at the girl in front of him who didn't even blink, and changed his words three times in a short period of time.
Tian Nongxi exclaimed: "You can do this, that's amazing."
"Yeah, there will be a lot more." He is very powerful.
Unfortunately, Tian Nongxi didn't continue to praise him, but buried his head in eating wontons. Wen Tingluan had no choice but to continue what he had just said.
The contents of the secret letter were confusing, and it must have been a ploy to conceal the truth.
This is a discarded piece.
But abandoned pieces have also appeared on the chessboard.
Following clues, Wen Tingluan found Ruiyang County.
It was originally an old case involving an adult, but it unexpectedly involved an important official of the current dynasty.
He knew that the matter was serious, so he sent his men back to the palace to explain the details, but he himself was assassinated in the middle of the night.
"Thanks to that man." Wen Tingluan's eyes were solemn.
"Ah? Ah!" Tian Nongxi stopped swallowing, unable to believe what he heard.
He won't do it because of himself...
"I captured him alive, but he also tried to bite his tongue to commit suicide. Although I stopped him, he swallowed the poison hidden under his tongue. Fortunately, fate favored him. Although he died, he left me a clue." After she finished speaking, Wen Tingluan noticed her abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing." Tian Nongxi looked at the floating oil in the bowl.
Her face flushed because of her own speculation, and she didn't see the smile that flashed in the man's eyes.
"I was too greedy and didn't let the dead rest in peace. That's why I fell into his trap. The poison emanating from his body caused him to fall into a coma."
"If you don't come, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble." Wen Tingluan said with a smile.
"Although they don't know my identity or appearance, they want to eliminate the root of the problem to prevent future troubles. If you hadn't saved me, I would have been found by them."
Tian Nongxi muttered, "Then your attitude is still so bad."
"Is it bad?" Wen Tingluan looked at her thoughtfully for a moment. Although he couldn't recall what was wrong, he still apologized seriously.
"So that's how you know Jing Wenshu? I see you seem to be very familiar with Zhuang Xueling as well."
"It just so happened that a new official was being appointed. Jing Wenshu is from Ruiyang and knows the complicated relationships within the county, so he was sent to help me."
"As for the Zhuang family." Wen Tingluan shook his head.
The Zhuang and Jing families are old friends, and Zhuang and Jing can be considered childhood sweethearts.
As for the rest, he didn't know.
"Then why does she know your identity?" Tian Nongxi asked as soon as he had doubts, tilting his head and eager to learn.
Wen Tingluan's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at her with helplessness in his eyes.
"She doesn't know." He hesitated, "She mistook me for... someone else."
Tian Nongxi nodded, not quite understanding.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's really a court secret, and besides, you and I have special statuses."
"I?"
"Your second uncle." Wen Tingluan saw her put down the spoon and handed her a handkerchief. He asked hesitantly, "He has committed more crimes than those revealed. He may not be able to escape death. You...?"
"I think it's pretty good." Tian Nongxi understood and said calmly, "Isn't he colluding with foreigners? He also takes human lives without mercy. He deserves to die."
"I think you guys are pretty good too."
She was not from here and was terrified when she came in.
But whether in memory or in reality, the people of Yan Dynasty lived a stable life.
At least I eat well and sleep well.
The imagined scenes of starving people and devastation did not occur.
If you were to travel into a chaotic world, not only would you not be able to make money, you would even lose your life.
Among the novels I read in my spare time, eight out of ten have heroines who travel through time to troubled times and become refugees from famine. It’s chilling to think about it.
Tian Nongxi felt that he was lucky, and even suspected that he had put on the wrong clothes in the dead of night - does such a world need to be saved by an ordinary person like Tian Yaozu?
But she couldn't give a reason, so she could only vaguely praise everything, from the street stalls to the crops in the fields, and fell silent when she heard Tingluan's increasingly obvious smile.
"Am I okay?" Wen Tingluan asked.
"Uh, ah?" Tian Nongxi opened his eyes wide, surprised.
"You just said that."
"I'm not talking about you, I mean..."
When she was racking her brains for words, Wen Tingluan suddenly asked.
"Who are you?"
"What?" Tian Nongxi suddenly reacted and threw the question back.
Wen Tingluan chuckled softly, stood up and said, "Let's go."
On the way to Li's Pharmacy, Tian Nongxi remained silent.
She walked with her head down, forgetting even to look at the road.
Until a pair of bony hands lightly rested on her shoulders and turned her in a different direction.
Tian Nongxi then realized that she had walked past this. She looked at the golden plaque hanging high in front of her. The four words "Li Ji Pharmacy" were written in the handwriting as smooth as iron and silver.
After turning their heads to thank him, the two walked in.
There were only a few shop assistants busying themselves with their heads down in the shop, and the counter was empty.
Tian Nongxi stopped the nearest waiter and asked where the shopkeeper had gone.
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing a cotton gown, with a thin face and long flowing beard walked out from the backyard.
The guy sweeping the floor said, "That's the one."
Li Huji looked over and saw that both of them looked radiant and in excellent health.
He stroked his beard and gestured for invitation.
As soon as Tian Nongxi sat down, Li Huji asked, "Why don't you see any illness during the examination?"
She said she came to get medicine, but was interrupted before she could finish her words.
"Get medicine? Go to the front hall to get the medicine." After saying that, he got up and was about to leave.
Tian Nongxi quickly said that the sick person was not suitable for walking. After keeping Li Huji, he slowly told him about Tian Yaozu's condition and Zhuang Xueling's special instructions.
After listening to Tian Nongxi's narration, Li Huji pondered for a moment, then quickly wrote down the prescription and handed it to her. The handwriting was exactly the same as the one on the plaque at the door.
After Tian Nongxi thanked him, he left in a hurry.
It took about an hour after I paid the money and got the medicine from the waiter in the front hall.
Tian Nongxi brought all the money he earned, but he didn't expect that the prescribed medicine was not only not expensive, but even cheap.
She also asked about Huang's condition. Li Huji prescribed two prescriptions for her to recuperate, which cost only fifteen cents in total.
The cashier looked at her surprise and smiled happily. He pointed at Li Huji who was about to leave with his bag on his back and said that their boss was worthy of the title of a doctor with a benevolent heart and now he was going to leave the shop to provide free medical services.
Tian Nongxi thanked him very sincerely, and the guy blushed and felt embarrassed.
After leaving the house, she was still admiring Li Huji's kindness and skillful hands.
Realizing that Tian Nongxi had forgotten what had just happened, Wen Tingluan didn't mention it again.
He followed her around here and there without even asking where she was going.
When they came to Bu Qin's stall, Tian Nongxi looked back embarrassedly and said that it would take some time for him to get going, so he left first to make him anxious.
Wen Tingluan thought, if he really wanted him to leave, why didn't he say it just now, but had to wait until then?
He concluded - she didn't want him to leave.
So he stood aside with his posture straight, without saying a word.
Bu Qin pulled Tian Nongxi over. They hadn't seen each other for a long time and she missed her very much.
She first apologized, saying that she was busy with her stall and could not go to the memorial service. She then asked about the man's recent situation and finally bumped into Tian Nongxi's shoulder and asked about the background of the handsome guy standing next to her.
Her exact words were: "You look young, why did you get married so early? It's not good to be trapped in it."
Tian Nongxi shook his head like a rattle.
She didn't know what Wen Tingluan and Bu Qin had said to cause Bu Qin to have this illusion, but she just kept emphasizing that she was not married.
Bu Qin said "oh" half-believingly, her eyes swept over Tiannongxi, and then glanced at Wen Tingluan.
In a resentful tone, he said, "You must call me when you get married."
Tian Nongxi pulled her to sit down, poured out all the mothballs he had made over the past few days, accepted the reward from Bu Qin, and leaned closer, saying mysteriously, "I want to invest."
"Investment? What does that mean?"
"Shares." Tian Nongxi took out a piece of paper from his purse and whispered, "Technology shares."
Seeing that Bu Qin didn't understand, she asked, "Are mothballs selling well?"
Bu Qin slapped her thigh and said, "Great! Very good! Many people come here specially to buy it. I was just thinking that you should make more when you have time. It won't be enough to sell when it's hot."
Tian Nongxi smiled and said he didn't have time.
She is telling the truth.
Since Tian Niu's accidental death, one unexpected thing after another made her realize that it was impossible to make money by farming, selling vegetables, making mothballs, and selling food day and night.
She has to do all these things herself, otherwise there will be no reward.
But the Tian family is indeed a man-eating family of tigers and dragons. Even if there are only one old man and one child left who can't cause any trouble, it doesn't mean that her peaceful days are coming.
But here she was, she couldn't hide.
Thinking of this, Tian Nongxi sighed deeply.
Bu Qin on the other end was still feeling sad about what she said about not having time, but when she saw Tian Nongxi sigh, her sadness turned into nervousness.
"Nothing." Tian Nongxi patted her hand soothingly and said, "It's just that I really don't have time to make mothballs anymore."
"I remember that the condition we agreed on was that you would take 30 and I would take 70?"
Bu Qin nodded blankly and asked, "Are you dissatisfied now?"
Tian Nongxi shook his head, opened his palm to show Bu Qin the note in his hand, and clenched his fist when Bu Qin was about to pick it up.
She looked at the puzzled Bu Qin and explained, "This is the recipe for mothballs."
Seeing that Bu Qin, who had suddenly realized the truth, showed no sign of complaint, Tian Nongxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I want to use the formula to participate in your profit share. In short, I want to use the formula to become the boss of this stall. As for whether I will be the big boss or the small boss, and how much profit I will get, we can discuss it."
"I don't have time, and you don't have the recipe, but there's a market for this." Tian Nongxi pointed at the mothballs on the stall, "It means... there are people buying them."
They had just been talking for a while when several groups of people came to buy mothballs. Many of them seemed to have come specifically to buy it and didn't even take a packet of seeds with them.
With so much coming and going, the mothballs that Tian Nongxi had just brought to the stall were almost gone.
She was about to say something, but Bu Qin suddenly said, "But it's not worth it for you."
"Look, you're the only one I know who can make mothballs. If you make more, and sell them from Ruiyang to Kaining, and then to the capital, you might be able to buy a house with them."
Feeling that Bu Qin's words did not mean rejection, but consideration for her, Tian Nongxi smiled and said frankly: "I am short of money now."
She tried to "commit suicide" several times before, and the system was afraid that this only seedling would die, so it lowered the conditions again and again.
When she first came here, she had to earn 20 million taels of gold within two years, otherwise she would quickly die in this world.
Now - she still has to earn 20 million taels of gold.
Tian Nongxi was indignant at the system's refusal to compromise, but fortunately, she no longer had to rely on the "golden finger" of selling vegetables, which was better than nothing.
The system divides her tasks into several levels. Every time she earns some money, she can upgrade and get rewards.
Moreover, the level is linked to Cai Cai's favorability.
The more she earns, the higher her level and favorability will be, and the higher her level and favorability are, the more she earns.
But she didn't know the standards of rank, so even if she stood by the river and pretended to jump into it, it would be useless.
Before leaving, the system only left a sentence: Level 1 is the first money earned by the host, and rewards can be obtained if the standard of one or two taels of silver is met.
Tian Nongxi wanted to ask more, but Cai Cai ignored her.
It wasn't until she returned home that she accidentally discovered twenty taels of gold growing in the cabinet.
The moment she touched the gold, the mechanical counting sound of the system made her blood boil.
Rewards count as part of the mission.
The twenty taels of gold were recorded as her accumulated assets.
Tian Nongxi now needs to know how much money he can earn at the next level and the rewards for the next level.
She thought, how nice it would be if it were just a simple money transfer.
But accidents happen so frequently these days that she has no chance to make money.
In his spare time, Tian Nongxi came up with an idea - "investing".
She looked at Bu Qin with sparkling eyes.
Bu Qin asked hesitantly, "Aren't you afraid that I might lie to you?"
Tian Nongxi shook his head and was about to say that he was going to the government office to get the seal when Bu Qin pounced on him.
Wen Tingluan, who was not far away, heard the noise and looked over. Tian Nongxi shook his head desperately to prove that he was fine.
Bu Qin hugged her enough and let her go, with shining eyes, wanting to swear a blood oath with her.
Tian Nongxi gasped and waved his hands, saying, "No need, I trust you."
The two of them agreed that Tian Nongxi would get one-third of the profits from the Buqin seed stall, which would be paid monthly and given to her along with the account book.
Neither of them is allowed to reveal the recipe for mothballs, otherwise they will be brought to court.
After signing and sealing the agreement, Tian Nongxi stood up and was about to leave, but Bu Qin stopped her and asked her to take her home for lunch.
Bu Qin said with a hint of boasting, "That sickly kid at home can actually cook."
After hearing Tian Nongxi say that there was a sick person in her family who was waiting for a prescription, she reluctantly saw her off.
Tian Nongxi said goodbye to Bu Qin and went straight to Ruoshui Academy.
It was the time when classes were dismissing at Ruoshui Academy at noon, and a group of scholars were coming and going at the entrance.
She stood in the most conspicuous place, and soon someone approached hesitantly.
"Miss Tian? It's really you. It's been a while." Tian Nongxi's regular customer smiled happily, then frowned suspiciously, "Miss, do you still care about the business of this academy? Why haven't you been around lately?"
Tian Nongxi explained for a while and revealed that she would set up a stall at the old place tomorrow. After getting her promise to leave her stomach full, she left with a smile.
She effortlessly found Wen Tingluan in the crowd, ran over and poked him as he closed his eyes to rest.
"go home!"
