Chapter 28 How much does it cost per night, Mr. Jiang?
"Just a meeting?" Jiusu pondered for a few seconds and asked doubtfully, "Who is Mr. Qiu's master?"
Qiu Shishu said firmly, "Yes, it's just a meeting. My master is eager for talented people, and you happen to meet the requirements. But don't worry, if you don't want to, the master will not force you. He just wants to make friends."
Hearing this, Jiusu knew that this "master" was probably extremely powerful, and might be a royal relative.
But this can be good or bad. She raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Of course I can make friends, but I like to make friends with people who are righteous. I just don't know what kind of person Mr. Qiu's master is?"
Qiu Shishu raised his fist to the sky, his eyes full of respect.
"My master has served the country and the people, and he worries about the world and thinks about the people. He always puts the people of the world first. He has pure blood and is a legitimate son. Young lady is smart and should know who I am talking about."
Prince. The meaning is self-evident.
Jiusu had an idea in mind and let out a breath. She thought, in ancient times, it was good to have a backer. If the prince was normal, it was not impossible to conquer the world for him. After all, money alone was not enough, power was also needed.
"Okay, let's make a deal. If we don't get along, then we can part ways amicably."
"Of course, we can part ways amicably!" Qiu Shishu handed the deed over again. Seeing that she accepted it, he smiled and said, "I live in the Qiu Mansion in the east of the town. If you have any problems, please come to me. I will solve any problems for you."
Jiusu thanked him.
"Please keep this matter a secret for me, Master Qiu. I have relatives at home and we have a bad relationship. I'm afraid there will be trouble."
Qiu Shishu handed over the key and evacuated everyone from the shop. "I understand."
The main gate was surrounded by people, so Jiusu blended in with the crowd and secretly left. Now they had a yard and a shop, but what they lacked most was manpower. If this kind of technology was outsourced, it would be imitated by others in a few days.
In the early stage, we focus not on quantity, but on quality and high-end products.
"Wine, nobles should like it..."
The most important thing now is to find manpower. Suddenly, she thought of the Jiang family. The mother and daughter of the Jiang family are diligent and hardworking. Jiang Jing is taciturn, practical and capable, and is a good helper.
Without thinking too much, Jiusu went straight to Jiang's house.
Before I knocked on the door, I heard the conversation inside.
Mother Jiang was washing clothes in the yard and sighed, "We were originally exiles with low status, and we were afraid Miss Jiu would look down on us. But now, we're so lucky! I didn't expect her to get married."
"I think Miss Jiu's husband hasn't appeared yet, and maybe he's not treating her well. My brother likes her, so he should be braver." Jiang Nianyin has a different opinion.
Jiang's mother thought about it and finally shook her head.
"It's always bad to destroy other people's families."
“…”
Jiusu took a deep breath, not daring to make a sound, and quietly retreated. He bumped into someone and turned around in fright. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was an acquaintance. When he thought it was Jiang Jing, he breathed a sigh of relief again. Uh, according to what the Jiang family mother and daughter said.
He, he likes her?
"Hi, what a coincidence..." In short, she felt a little guilty now.
Jiang Jing looked her up and down, seemingly not understanding her emotions. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He pursed his lips and remained silent for a while. "This seems to be my home. Meeting you... uh, it seems unfortunate."
Jiusu smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.
"I'm here to see you. How long have you been here? Do you know any good merchants selling alcohol?"
Originally, she wanted to ask them for help, but the situation seemed too complicated now, so she had to find another way. Otherwise, every time she saw Jiang Jing, she would feel guilty as if she was a married bad woman who hooked up with innocent men.
Jiang Jing said: "There are none in Suming County, but there are in Gan County."
"Gan County? Is it far away?" Jiusu had just arrived and had never heard of this place.
Jiang Jing looked at the half-open door, leaned against the wall, and whispered, "It's far. It's a hundred miles away, and it takes two days to get there by boat. If you don't know the way, you can hire me. I'm very cheap."
"How much is it per night, Mr. Jiang?"
"Four nights, twenty cents."
Jiusu raised an eyebrow, nodded to himself, and took out the silver from his purse. "I'm raising the price. I'll give you ten coins a night. This is forty coins. I have a carriage and we'll leave at dawn tomorrow."
"Thank you." Jiang Jing accepted the money.
He looked at her back for a while before going back. "Mother, I'm going on a long journey and will be working as a guide. Here are thirty cents. You and my younger sister, lock the door and don't go out for the next few days."
Jiang's mother looked at the silver and money in her hand, feeling somewhat melancholy.
"Are you going with Miss Jiu?"
"Yeah." Jiang Jing didn't hide it. He was in a state of confusion. He knew she was married and shouldn't be by his side, but she had helped and saved the Jiang family before. It was dangerous for a woman to be alone outside. "She gave me forty cents. I just led the way."
After Jiang Nianyin finished hanging the clothes, she advised, "Let your brother go, so that you don't lose your heart when he leaves."
The mother and daughter smiled at each other. A few days ago, Miss Jiu stayed in the countryside for one night. There was no news at all, and he was completely lost.
Jiang Jing's heart suddenly tightened, and his ears turned red. "Ahem, don't talk nonsense. Miss Jiu is already married."
Jiang's mother sighed slightly. She was also very troubled when she thought about this matter. When her husband asked her yesterday, she had told him something vaguely, but she still didn't dare to mention that the girl was married.
She still couldn't help but said, "Jing'er, maybe Miss Jiu has some unspeakable secrets, and her man has not appeared. If she is not doing well, we agree if you like it."
Jiang Jing lowered his head and chopped the wood vigorously. As more and more firewood piled up on the ground, his heart became more and more confused.
Well, that's enough.
"Mother, I'm just there to lead the way. Miss Jiu and I have only met a few times. We can talk about the rest later. Maybe she and him are in love. She has helped us many times. Let's not talk about this anymore. It will cause her trouble."
The chrysanthemums in the yard are blooming.
This yard was originally uninhabited and was overgrown with weeds and flowers, but Jiusu preserved the original plants, such as plum blossoms and bamboo. When winter comes, the fragrance of plum blossoms will surely spread throughout the yard. Mrs. Lu couldn't sit still and was busy in the kitchen.
I heard that my daughter-in-law is going on a long trip.
She asked worriedly, "Is anyone going with you?"
"Jiang Jing." Jiusu said.
Mrs. Lu sighed. Her son was not at home, so she and her daughter-in-law went to someone else's house for dinner. It was very likely the home of the man her daughter-in-law liked. She felt sad and upset.
Jiusu symbolically put a piece of clothing into the bag.
"I'll be back in about five days. I've already bought some vegetables and meat, and I'll ask the Qian family to take care of me. You stay here, and don't open the door to anyone you don't know, okay?"
"I've made a note of this. Be careful when you go out."
Mrs. Lu sat on a wooden chair, and Jiusu changed the medicine on her eyes, so she no longer needed to wrap them with white cloth.
She placed the ointment in her mother-in-law's hand and said, "Apply it once in the morning and once in the evening. Don't cry or rub your eyes, okay?"
Nearby, Qian Junjie climbed up a ladder and looked into the next yard. Seeing Jiusu packing things, he carefully dodged the thorn branches and shouted in dissatisfaction, "Who are you protecting against with this thing?"
