Looking into Baozhu's eyes and thinking about how much she trusted him, Li Jun instantly felt that he couldn't let her down and that he had to manage things well for her.
"Thank you very much, Brother Li. I'll go get the land deed."
Without land deeds and such documents, the tenants certainly wouldn't accept it.
Tang Baozhu returned to her room, took out the land deeds she had stored in her spatial storage, and handed them to Li Jun.
"Don't worry, Baozhu. I'll return the land deed to you when I get back tomorrow afternoon."
Tang Baozhu nodded, not worried at all, because these land deeds were all in red, so even if someone else got the deeds, he wouldn't be able to sell them.
After Li Jun took it, he saw that it was getting dark outside. If he stayed any longer, it would not be good for Baozhu's reputation.
"Baozhu, how about I make you dinner first before I go back?"
"Brother Li, no need. Wait a moment, I can cook myself. It's too late now, it's a bit inconvenient."
Even though Tang Baozhu didn't say anything about it being inconvenient, Li Jun still understood and realized that he had been a bit rash.
"Sorry, Baozhu, I'll head back now."
After Tang Baozhu saw Li Jun out, she locked the courtyard gate and went back inside.
Originally intending to step into the living room, I turned a corner and headed towards the kitchen.
I'm worried that if I don't cook again and the chimney stops smoking, he'll come over and ask again.
He took out noodles from his spatial storage and cooked himself a bowl of noodles.
The next afternoon, Li Jun returned the land deed. He didn't mention the bad things happening outside, but simply told Baozhu that he would handle everything and that she could rest assured.
Tang Baozhu still trusted Li Jun. Since she chose to trust him, she also believed that he could handle things outside.
They waited until all the embroidery in the house was finished, and it was the 49th day after the death of the scholar. Accompanied by Li Jun, they burned all of the scholar's father's belongings at the grave.
This is the first time I've been out in the world since I came here. I met many people on the road, most of whom were very kind and told Tang Baozhu to accept her fate.
After burning the paper money and clothes and returning home, Tang Baozhu discussed with Li Jun about asking him to accompany her to the county town the next day.
The embroidery is all finished. I need to go to the shop to hand in the embroidery and then pick up new embroidery pieces.
She couldn't just drift through each day, and life in the countryside was too lonely for her. She wanted to try opening a shop.
Li Jun disagreed with Baozhu's suggestion, arguing that a woman running a shop alone would inevitably be robbed and extorted by thugs and forced to pay protection money.
Tang Baozhu never imagined that life was so hard for people at the bottom of society. They had to pay protection money to do business and deal with thugs who came frequently.
The little idea that had just sprouted was instantly extinguished. It seems that for the next three years, I should just stay at home and practice calligraphy and do some embroidery.
Seeing that Baozhu had given up the idea, Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief. They then discussed the departure time for the next morning and went back.
He wanted to stay and cook for Baozhu, but Baozhu refused.
Tang Baozhu felt that she dared not agree, because she really didn't think his cooking was that delicious, and the variety was also limited.
Unlike the dishes I've seen in later generations, which come in all sorts of varieties.
Tang Baozhu remembered that she was going to the county town the next day, so she went to bed early. When she got up the next morning, she lit a fire in the stove as usual.
Of course, there must have been water in the pot, otherwise the bottom of the pot would have burned through.
After having breakfast in the space, I habitually activated my supernatural power, circulating it through my body twice, and instantly felt much more comfortable.
Unfortunately, after activating my superpower, I expelled a lot of bad stuff, so I had to take a shower first before setting off again.
He took a large piece of cloth, wrapped all the embroidery pieces in it, and also took some silver with him. Then he prepared to set off.
As soon as I stepped out the door, I saw Li Jun waiting outside. "Brother Li, have you been here long? Why didn't you knock? You should have told me. I made you wait outside for so long."
"Don't worry, Baozhu. I haven't been waiting outside for long. Let's set off now!"
Tang Baozhu didn't say anything and just followed him, but she overestimated her physical condition.
The girl rarely went out before, spending all her time in her room practicing calligraphy or embroidery. She rarely walked long distances, and even when she needed to leave the county town, it was Tang Xiucai who would rent an oxcart to take her with him.
After walking for about half an hour, my feet started to ache terribly. I wonder if I'll get blisters.
"Brother Li, how much further is it to the county town? How much longer will it take?"
Li Jun was blaming himself for not thinking things through and not even considering renting an oxcart. He used to go to the county town alone, so he had never thought of renting an oxcart before. He blamed himself for not being careful enough and for making his sister Baozhu suffer.
“Baozhu, we’ll be there soon. It’s all my fault for not thinking things through. Once we get to the county town, I’ll buy an oxcart. That will make it easier for you to go to the county town.”
Li Jun also realized that Baozuo Girl often went to collect embroidery products, so she would go to the county town quite often. Buying an oxcart would be useful in the future.
Then another idea popped into my head: when I had nothing to do, I could drive the oxcart and take passengers to the county town. I could earn as much money as I could, so that my little sister Baozhu wouldn't have to live a hard life in the future.
Tang Baozhu felt that even if Li Jun didn't buy the oxcart, she would still want to buy one. After walking such a long distance, her feet felt like they weren't even her own anymore.
If Li Jun buys it, then I won't have to worry about the cows eating grass.
"Brother Li, do you have enough money?"
After all, he recently bought a hundred acres of land, and we were worried that he might be short of money.
"Don't worry, I still have some money on me, enough to buy an oxcart."
Since he said he had enough money, Tang Baozhu didn't ask any more questions.
After walking for about another 15 minutes, we finally saw the gate of the county town. The city wall was built of bluestone, which looked very imposing and had a sense of history.
When entering the city gate, they paid four copper coins, two for each person. Li Jun had given them to Tang Baozhu, but she refused to return them.
Since she's not taking money, she can compensate in some other way; she's not the kind of person who can't get enough of a good deal.
It seems like government offices are quite good at making money. With so many people coming and going, they must collect a lot of money every day, from morning till night.
