Upon hearing this, Zhang Lanhua raised her face in shock and looked at Mu Wanjun in disbelief.
She didn't expect that the other party would actually ask her for money!
Isn't it just a simple pulse diagnosis?
Even if I have to pay for the consultation, why is it so much?
not to mention!
She still has a very good relationship with her sister-in-law!
How could I really accept her money?
"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and pay me. You don't want me to treat you for free just because I have a good relationship with A-Li, do you?"
Mu Wanjun asked in an exaggerated manner, her voice quite loud.
Shen Shuli was in the river, secretly smuggling fish and shrimp from the space, secretly smuggling river water into the space, and at the same time she had to prick up her ears to listen to her bestie's pranks.
...
...
"I am not."
"I don't……"
"Don't accuse me..."
Zhang Lanhua quickly denied it three times and started crying as if someone was bullying her.
"No, why are you crying? You don't think I will not charge you money if you shed a few tears!"
"Please, your tears are worthless to me!"
Mu Wanjun didn't give Zhang Lanhua any chance to continue pretending, and put her in a difficult position with just one sentence.
Su Changan was a few beats slow to react. He was just feeling happy that his wife and child were fine and in good health.
How come the two of them started arguing during a moment of distraction?
"Hey, Princess, wait a moment..." Su Changan said hurriedly.
Zhang Lanhua looked at Su Changan with a resentful look. Their second house only had one hundred taels of silver.
She was heartbroken to spend ten taels of silver at once.
She immediately guessed what Su Changan was going to say, and quickly interrupted him, turning around and calling Shen Yuehua.
"Mother, we don't have any money. Can you pay the princess's medical fee?"
Shen Yuehua was preparing food, and her ears unconsciously took in the sounds outside. Without even looking at her, she had already seen through the thoughts of her second daughter-in-law.
"Don't you know what my family's situation is? We've been fleeing famine for so long, where would I get the money?"
"Didn't our family just sell so many wild fruits? They were one or two taels of silver each..." Zhang Lanhua was obviously not convinced and couldn't help but retort.
She knew whether the Su family had money or not.
My parents-in-law are good at making money.
Before the extreme heat wave.
The family has an income of at least 10,000 taels of silver every year, and has saved a lot over the years.
What's more, ever since the sister-in-law returned home, the family's money seemed to be inexhaustible, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were spent along the way.
Where did all that silver come from?
Anyway, she knew in her heart that the Su family couldn't possibly come up with so much money.
It must have been brought back by my sister-in-law from the Lin family.
We were forced to discard supplies several times along the way and purchase new ones, which consumed a lot.
But didn’t we just sell so many wild fruits a few days ago?
Why can’t you come up with ten taels of silver to pay for her medical fees?
Shen Yuehua's originally kind expression suddenly turned cold.
She said in a cold voice: "Everyone knows that those fruits were discovered by Ah Li, so they belong to her."
"How much silver she sold is her business. What does it have to do with the Su family?"
"You really don't know how much money you spent on my daughter along the way, do you?"
"As a sister-in-law, you actually want your sister-in-law's personal money. Where can I put the face of the Su family?!"
"If you want to ask for it, just go and ask for it yourself. Don't drag me into it. I don't have the face to ask my daughter to support others."
After saying that, Shen Yuehua no longer paid attention to Zhang Lanhua and continued to busy herself with her own things.
Zhang Lanhua didn't expect that she just told the truth, but her mother-in-law said so much to humiliate her!
There are so many people watching around, does she still have any shame?
Zhang Lanhua was just pretending to have a stomachache, but after all that trouble and with so many emotional ups and downs, her stomach really felt uncomfortable.
"Huff huff..."
She gasped for breath and her face turned pale again.
Mu Wanjun only took a quick glance and knew that she was really feeling unwell this time.
She kindly reminded him, "Can you pay the consultation fee? If not, don't come to see me for treatment no matter what happens in the future."
"Even if you are Ari's sister-in-law, I will put you on the blacklist."
Mu Wanjun was not joking with her.
Since exile.
Mu Wanjun would charge a consultation fee of ten taels of silver each time she provided medical treatment.
Herbs are charged separately.
Everyone in the team knew Princess Anrong's rules, and no one dared to default.
Zhang Lanhua clenched her teeth in anger.
But she was really worried about the fetus in her belly, so she reached out and pulled the sleeve of Su Ping'an, who was still acting silly.
"Husband, hurry up and pay her the medical fee. My stomach is uncomfortable again..."
Even at this point, Zhang Lanhua did not forget to cover up her lie, which shows that she was still rational.
Su Pingan quickly took out the banknote and handed it to Mu Wanjun, begging anxiously: "Princess, please help me take care of Lanhua, she is not feeling well again!"
Mu Wanjun took the silver and said while checking Zhang Lanhua's pulse, "Including this consultation, the fee is twenty taels. I'll give it to you later."
This time Zhang Lanhua was really feeling unwell, so Mu Wanjun gave her a few injections, and the fetus soon stabilized.
"Don't let your emotions fluctuate too much in the future. It's not good for the fetus." Mu Wanjun left after saying this.
Zhang Lanhua's complexion finally looked better, but she couldn't help but feel resentful.
"I was able to have a miscarriage because of you guys ganging up on me!"
"You actually cheated me out of twenty taels of silver!"
Mu Wanjun returned to her family in a good mood, took eighty taels of silver from her mother Gao Linglong, and asked her younger brother to return it to Su Ping'an.
Su Ping'an reached out to take the silver.
Zhang Lanhua looked at Su Ping'an tenderly and said, "My husband, let me keep the silver. You should go hunting in the mountains often to avoid losing it."
Su Ping'an felt that what his wife said made sense, and happily handed all the silver to Zhang Lanhua.
"Yes, yes, yes, wife, keep it carefully and buy whatever you want in the future."
Zhang Lanhua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her husband was not upset about what had just happened.
She waved to Su Ping'an and said, "My dear, please come closer. I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Su Ping'an immediately sat down next to her and leaned over to listen with curiosity on his face.
"Isn't this bad?"
Su Ping'an didn't expect his wife to say this to him, and his face was full of confusion.
"How can you be so stupid! You know how your mother treated me just now. Do you want me and your son to be controlled by others for the rest of our lives?"
“Wuwuwu…”
Zhang Lanhua whispered to Su Ping'an in a low voice.
But Su Ping'an was a martial artist with extraordinary hearing. Not only could he hear his wife's words clearly, he was also aroused by her coquettish attitude.
He is most susceptible to this kind of behavior from his wife.
"Okay, then I'll try..." Su Ping'an responded without any confidence.
Zhang Lanhua's voice was small.
But those martial artists who paid close attention to her movements all took her words to heart.
They had never paid much attention to Zhang Lanhua before.
But at this moment, many people have a new understanding of Zhang Lanhua.
There is Chen Shuli behind the scenes.
Just a short while.
The river, which originally had few fish, was immediately filled with fish.
All the fish that Shen Shuli caught from the river were not only bigger than those caught by others, but also came in many varieties.
In addition to the usual fish, there are also crayfish, prawns and crabs.
They are all plump and big.
In the river in Shen Shuli's space, various fish are nourished by the spiritual energy of the space and grow and reproduce very quickly.
If there weren't a giant brown bear and a pair of tiger lovers in the space, they would go to the river to hunt fish every day and consume some of the fish.
Shen Shuli caught all the fish that could not be consumed and stored them in the warehouse.
The tigress gave birth to four cubs a few days ago, three males and one female.
One of the cubs is an albino tiger.
The four little tiger cubs were all exceptionally strong and sturdy, and their furry fur made them particularly attractive to the Lord of Space.
(o゜▽゜)o☆
After more than half a month of running-in.
The big brown bear finally eliminated its hostility towards the tiger lovers.
The newly derived mountains after the space upgrade are now covered with green grass and various saplings are growing well.
Shen Shuli put the big brown bear and the tigers on the mountain to prevent them from being too close to the animals and frightening them.
In my spare time recently.
Shen Shuli also learned the secret method of taming beasts, and has successfully mastered it. She can also successfully communicate with the brown bear and two tigers in a simple way.
Otherwise, the big brown bear would not have been able to live in peace with the tiger cub and his family so quickly.
As for the animals in the pasture.
Shen Shuli was not going to experiment on them.
If you develop feelings for the animals, you will not be willing to raise the butcher knife to eat their meat.
But her favorite mount, the big black horse, and Su Yunhai's pet red horse are exceptions.
"My daughter is really the reincarnation of a lucky carp. There weren't so many fish just now, but as soon as my daughter entered the river, the fish smelled the blessing and rushed into her arms. This is~"
Su Yunhai looked at the many fish and shrimps his daughter had "caught" with great joy, and couldn't help but show off loudly.
It is to plant the idea in everyone's mind that having a daughter is a lucky star.
This also explains why my daughter can find all kinds of food as soon as she arrives.
Everyone agreed with this.
The biggest fish they caught in the river was not as big as the smallest fish caught by Shen Shuli.
And her gains alone were not as great as those of all the people combined.
If they said Shen Shuli was not a lucky star, they would not believe it.
And when they were escaping in the mountains, only Shen Shuli found watermelons and edible wild fruits.
Without Shen Shuli, they could at most catch some prey, and had never encountered any fresh wild fruits that could be eaten.
It's just bizarre.
The fish and shrimp in the space have no fishy smell at all, and even if they are just sprinkled with a little salt, the taste is extremely delicious.
Everyone finally had a hearty meal and regained a lot of energy.
After resting for half an hour, they immediately set off to continue their journey.
The team had already left the territory of Xingzhou Prefecture and was about to arrive at Quanzhou Prefecture. Everyone felt a little relieved.
But they didn't know the danger was coming.
"The Quanzhou Prefecture is ahead. I wonder if the prefect over there has consulted with Xingzhou and Yunzhou to harm us."
Xue Bufan has learned his lesson and can think about problems proactively.
He looked up at Su Yunhai who was riding a horse next to him and asked a question.
Su Yunhai was very surprised.
I didn't expect that he would take the initiative to discuss the problem with me.
"Once we get there, we'll first go into the city and investigate, so as not to fall into a trap." Su Yunhai was also worried.
The foundations of this dynasty have long been rotten.
Along the way.
He no longer had any expectations for officials of this era.
You must assume the greatest malice towards the other party so as not to put your own people in danger.
It’s past mid-afternoon.
The team arrived at the city of Quanzhou.
"Everyone rest here, we will go into the city first to find out the news." Su Yunhai said to everyone.
Xue Bufan also ordered the exiled prisoners to stop, and asked the Su family guards to help guard them before entering the city with Su Yunhai.
Shen Shuli checked the remaining supplies.
When she was in Xingzhou, she only bought two carts of grain and three horse carriages.
The carriage was for six elderly people from three families, two pregnant women and a child.
Food has run out.
Clear out a cart for everyone to take turns sitting and rest.
In addition, there are orders placed at the He family.
The clothes have been distributed to everyone, and there are five boxes filled with the He family's remaining fabrics, rags, shoe needles and thread, etc.
The group of prisoners is similar to that of the Su family.
The supplies for that vehicle were prepared by Xue Bufan.
But he would not be so kind as to provide food to the prisoners for free. Instead, he asked the prisoners to pay for it.
The number of prisoners was much larger than that of the Su family, and their food had long been consumed.
After knowing what is going on.
Shen Shuli sat on the side of the road in a daze, her consciousness entering the space and busy with farming.
Five or six batches of wheat have been planted, but the wheat still needs to be processed and ground into flour.
These procedures cannot be completed in space.
I have to find a chance to go to the city to find a mill for processing.
Shen Shuli harvested twenty acres of wheat and planted a batch of rice.
Since the river was built in the space, growing rice has become easier.
The space will automatically adjust the climate, temperature and soil moisture according to the habits of crops.
Shen Shuli only needs to plant and harvest, and doesn't have to worry about the process in between.
The fruit trees originally planted in the spiritual field have been moved by her to the nearby mountains.
Now the space has been upgraded to level four, with a total of fifty acres of spiritual fields, ten acres of which have been turned into pastures.
Ten acres are dedicated to growing medicinal herbs.
There are also ten acres dedicated to growing fruits and vegetables.
The remaining twenty acres are used to grow food.
The mountain range next to it is as large as one thousand acres, and Shen Shuli plans to use it all to plant various trees and fruit trees.
It would be best to let the mountains evolve into virgin forests.
Without the use of spiritual spring water, it would probably take a long time for it to develop into a virgin forest.
But the spiritual spring water is still very precious to Shen Shuli, and she cannot realize the freedom of the spiritual spring.
She was reluctant to use the spiritual spring water to irrigate more than a thousand acres of mountain land.
We can only let it grow slowly.
By then, we will be able to cultivate various mushrooms, black fungus, white fungus, pine nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts and other mountain products.
We should also plant more spice trees such as pepper, bay leaves, cinnamon, etc.
The rice has just been planted.
Shen Shuli suddenly smelled a faint salty smell.
She immediately left the space and saw a team of carriages passing by on the official road.
Mu Wanjun had been guarding Shen Shuli. When she saw her eyes become clear again, she knew that she had come out of the space.
"Ari, did you smell it too?"
"Hmm, why is there such a strong smell of salt? It feels like I'm at the seaside." Shen Shuli was puzzled.
Mu Wanjun: "Yes, I also find it strange. It seems that the convoy just now was pulling buckets of water. I could even hear the sound of water shaking inside."
Shen Shuli only saw two water marks on the road left by the carts.
But now it is an extremely hot disaster and the temperature of the earth is very high.
The water on the ground quickly evaporated, and Shen Shuli could faintly see some white foam on the water line, gleaming with light.
This section of official road near Jeonju is obviously lighter in color than other roads.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately walked over, squatted, and picked up a handful of soil with her hand.
To verify her guess, she put her hand in and licked it with the tip of her tongue.
really.
It’s salty!
"How is it? Any findings?" Mu Wanjun asked.
Shen Shuli nodded slightly: "It's salt!"
Mu Wanjun was shocked: "Could it be that this team is using this method to cover up the sale of illegal salt?"
She had never thought that she would encounter such a thing.
But what these people wanted to do was irrelevant to her, she was just a little curious.
Shen Shuli thought more.
There is not much salt stored in the space. It can be said that salt, sugar and oil are the supplies that she is in short supply of.
But salt is definitely the first thing missing!
Because of sugar and oil, she can grow related crops and refine and press them.
But she had no way to get salt.
Because there are no relevant salt mines, salt lakes or seas in her space.
Even if we have the technology, we don’t have the raw materials to refine.
In modern times, the amount of salt stored is only ten large boxes, each box containing a hundred bags.
With so many people in the family, the food will be consumed quickly.
So every time she arrived at a state capital, she would try to stock up as much salt as possible.
But you can't buy much at all, because salt is controlled by the government, the annual output is extremely low, and people are not allowed to stockpile salt.
When Mu Wanjun saw Chen Shuli looking at the salt dealers' convoy that was about to disappear with a gloomy look in her eyes, she suddenly had an idea.
"You're not planning anything bad, are you~" Mu Wanjun looked at Shen Shuli with shining eyes.
Shen Shuli raised her eyebrows slightly at her best friend.
I have to say, best friends are the ones who know you best.
I immediately guessed what she was going to do.
"Come on, let's take a long-term view."
Mu Wanjun took Shen Shuli's hand and took her to a place where there were not many people around to conspire in a low voice.
Shen Shuli watched as many people carried one-meter-long bamboo joints on their backs and walked towards the city gate, talking and laughing.
"Look, these people are weird too!"
Her five senses were tempered by the spiritual spring water and were extremely sharp. She could clearly hear the sound of water swaying in the bamboo joints.
"Could it be that these people are also secretly selling salt?" Mu Wanjun was extremely surprised.
I have to say.
The people in this place are really too bold.
There are so many people who dare to sell salt openly!
They had only been on the roadside for less than half an hour when they discovered two groups of illegal salt dealers.
Neither of them would think that the prefect of Quanzhou would be completely unaware of this!
You know.
These salt merchants are a little clever, but not much.
The salt merchants also knew to dissolve the salt in water to hide it.
But they were too blatant, and there were still salt stains on the cuts of the bamboo joints after the water was evaporated.
Chen Shuli looked at Mu Wanjun meaningfully and said, "Perhaps, the salt trade was tacitly approved by the prefect of Quanzhou?"
If not.
It was hard for her to imagine why these people could be so brazen.
“It’s really possible!”
In order to make things easier for Xie Chengyuan, he asked a silver-black-armored guard who looked very similar to him to pretend to be him and lie in wait for him.
He then disguised himself as the Silver Black Armor Guard who was pretending to be him.
In this way.
It is convenient for him to move.
This idea was thought of by Xue Bufan for him.
He had already walked nearly a thousand miles carrying Xie Chengyuan on his back and was extremely tired.
Only then did I use my clever brain to come up with this idea.
Don't say.
Xie Chengyuan was very satisfied.
He saw two little girls huddled together, wondering what they were up to.
But he, who has always been alert, also noticed the abnormality of the people passing by.
“Ahem…”
He vaguely heard the two of them discussing the matter, and a dry cough from a distance reminded them that he was here.
Shen Shuli and Mu Wanjun turned around at the same time and saw the plain-looking Xie Chengyuan walking towards them.
How could I forget about him?
Shen Shuli waved to him, signaling that he could come over.
Xie Chengyuan's pace unconsciously quickened.
"What are you talking about?" Xie Chengyuan asked.
Shen Shuli informed each other of their findings.
Xie Chengyuan admired the two of them more and more.
There were so many people in the team, but besides him, they were the only ones who noticed something unusual.
"So, whatever plans you two have, why not include me in it?" Xie Chengyuan really wanted to be involved.
Because he hated the forces that smuggled salt.
"We need to first make sure whether officials across the state are hostile to us."
"Besides."
"If the state officials deliberately allowed the people to sell illegal salt, it means that they are absolutely strict in controlling these people."
"With so many strangers entering the state, we will definitely attract the attention of the government. We must keep a low profile."
"We still have to find out how these people got the salt. If we have the chance, we should stock up on salt so that we can buy it when we arrive at the exile land in the future."
Jeonju wasn't exactly the best route to travel south to the Exiled Lands.
The emperor deliberately made the exile team take the most difficult and remote routes.
The state has unique landforms.
The biggest feature is that it has a salt lake.
At least one-third of the salt in the entire Dayong territory is produced here.
Places with salt lakes also mean that the surrounding environment will not be very good.
The environment they are in has not changed much from before, which means they are still far away from the salt lake.
Shen Shuli has already set her sights on the salt lake and must find an opportunity to collect some of it into the space.
If Xie Chengyuan was not there, she would fly a helicopter and take Mu Wanjun directly into the air to find the location of the salt lake.
But now there is one more person, Xie Chengyuan.
His fighting power is the ceiling in the team.
No.
It should be said.
He should be the ceiling in the book.
With him around, the safety of the two can be greatly guaranteed.
The Salt Lake is the Golden Lake.
It will definitely be closely guarded by the government or the provincial government.
The military strength over there should definitely not be underestimated.
Shen Shuli would never rashly trespass for the salt lake and put herself in danger.
But with Xie Chengyuan joining, there will be some limitations on the ability to act.
In short, there are pros and cons.
The three of them were discussing.
Su Yunhai and Xue Bufan are back.
Everyone gathered around the two of them.
Su Yunhai explained to everyone the information he had heard.
"Don't worry, everyone. There is no news about wanted exiled prisoners in the state for the time being. We can enter the city without worry."
"But from what we have observed, the rules in this state capital are strict and the atmosphere is severe. There are soldiers and officers everywhere. You must take care of yourself and your children and don't cause trouble!"
"Otherwise, if someone were to spot you, your identity as a criminal might be exposed."
Su Yunhai warned everyone with words.
Upon hearing this, the prisoners all stood ready.
They had already memorized their new identities by heart.
No one wants to be caught and become a prisoner again. It is enough to experience that feeling once.
Won't come again a second time.
Su Yunhai informed everyone that they would need to pay an entrance fee of ten cents to enter the city, and asked everyone to prepare it in advance.
Everyone came to the city gate and lined up to enter the city.
There were many people queuing up to enter the city, but the atmosphere here was a bit solemn. No one was making any noise or talking at all.
The exile team also became nervous upon seeing this.
The scene and atmosphere are comparable to entering a royal palace.
Just at this moment.
Something unexpected happened!
