However, the name she had just learned from him was immediately forgotten by Jingrou.
"You're quite good at hiding. You hid here and didn't even hear us calling you..." Jia Rou led the group over and saw Jing Rou. Her slightly furrowed brows relaxed. She was mainly worried that she wouldn't be able to find her, since they were all still young and it would be bad if something went wrong.
We were having so much fun today that we almost forgot about home. The only thing missing was Jingrou, and several girls suddenly got excited and came over in groups to look for her, which led them to this place.
However, it's not suitable to go any further ahead, as Jia Rou had already been warned by her mother.
"I didn't expect you couldn't find me, so I stood here looking at the scenery. I was lost in thought for a moment, which made it easy for you to find me..." Jingrou smiled apologetically.
Unexpectedly, she met a kindred spirit. In addition, she had been delayed for a while in order to complete the task. She felt really bad for the trouble caused to her. Jingrou leaned close to Jiarou and shook her shoulder.
She was still not used to lying and seemed a little uncomfortable, but since the group was in a hurry to get back, they didn't pay much attention.
Jia Rou was very pleased. She had an older brother, but no other siblings. Moreover, since their ancestral home was in the south, they had no younger siblings of similar age in the capital. So when they saw Jing Rou, they subconsciously took care of her and treated her like their own younger sister.
When they returned to the banquet, they were naturally teased and joked about again. However, they were still young and had not yet reached the point of considering things like embroidery for marriage, so this was truly the most carefree stage of their lives, and the adults would be much less controlling.
The Hesheli clan members were among the most distinguished in terms of both seniority and status, and were naturally treated with great respect.
Several wives of Han officials were also flattered and surprised by the arrival of such a person. They were usually friends with people of similar status, and now that a princess had suddenly appeared, they were indeed somewhat at a loss.
However, considering that Madam Chen invited Hesheli and the others to fulfill her promise to the young girl, it was not surprising.
However, neither Jingrou's maternal grandmother nor her aunt were harsh adults. In particular, Jingrou's second aunt, Lady Irgen Gioro, had returned to the capital a few years ago after giving birth. Since then, she had spent most of her time wandering around the backyard and rarely went out. This time, she met several ladies whose personalities clashed with hers.
******
On the carriage ride back, Jingrou carefully took stock of her current points.
Because she exchanged that pill for her grandfather, she now only has 24 points, 20 of which were due to her earlier encounter with... what was it called?
Jingrou was stunned. The image of the handsome young man behind her from earlier flashed before her eyes again; his name seemed to be Baocheng.
The parting was too hasty, and I only vaguely remembered that name.
Because Jingrou's mind is currently focused on points, she hasn't been dwelling on this issue too much.
What Jingrou is most interested in right now is that pill called "Rejuvenation Pill". The description says that it can bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones. Although it sounds a bit exaggerated, Jingrou believes in the magical power of the system!
This pill is of course very important. Giving it to my second uncle might save his life in a critical moment!
There was no other way; the place my second uncle was in was far too dangerous. I'd heard that the Qing Dynasty was going to attack the Dzungars again. If war broke out again, danger was everywhere!
The Rejuvenation Pill requires 30 points, which means you're still six points short.
My maternal grandfather and my uncle corresponded every three months. If he remembered correctly, it would be about 10 days from now when he would receive the things my second uncle sent. When he received the things from my second uncle, my maternal grandfather would prepare to write back to my second uncle. It would be best to send the reply to my second uncle at that time, otherwise he would have to wait another three months.
Now she has to figure out how to accumulate enough points within 10 days. Without special missions like this, she can only accumulate a handful of points each day...
At first, the system assigned tasks in a very lax manner, and the points were naturally limited. Both the system and she, as the host, had a laid-back personality, so they accumulated fewer points.
However, if you really need to redeem something with points, not having enough points becomes a big problem.
There's no way around it. Although there aren't many daily tasks, it's a steady stream of income. After all, special tasks like binding cards are extremely rare.
Thinking of this, Jingrou took out the character binding card again. When she first drew this card, the front had a large question mark with a silver border, but now several lines of text appeared on the question mark.
"Protect Success"
"Task completed 1/1, total points: 20."
"Congratulations, host, on completing the task of solving your problem. Please wait patiently for the task update."
Jingrou didn't even want to complain anymore. What was the point of this system? She already knew all the information on it, including the person's identity, and it couldn't provide that information to her!
This garbage system has just been upgraded!
Jingrou thought angrily.
But then she thought that it was alright not to know the person's identity. After all, after talking for an afternoon, she didn't simply regard that person as a task partner she was bound to, but as a friend, someone she could talk to about her innermost thoughts.
Friends should naturally be equal.
