"Here, this is the prescription I gave you. It includes instructions and pictures. You should be able to understand it. Don't open it now. Open it when you get back, otherwise it won't be effective."
Sun Jian deliberately kept everyone in suspense.
"And this bottle of medicine, use it in conjunction with the items in the gift box. Remember to take only one pill at a time, don't take too much, or something terrible will happen."
"this……"
"I...you"
"Okay, enough of that, I'm leaving!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After saying this, Sun Jian ignored the old man's attempts to persuade him to stay, picked up his four jars of wine, and walked straight out of the private room, leaving the three of them stunned and unable to recover for a long time.
Wang De picked up the bottle of Viagra, examining it in his hands, while timidly asking his master, "Master, this... this medicine is something I've never seen before, and I've never even touched a medicine bottle..."
Li You also chimed in, "Yes, Master, I've never seen this before either. And this gift box, shall we open it and take a look?"
"No need, let's do as Sun Jian said and open it when we get back."
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere fell silent again.
After a long while, the old man finally showed a helpless smile.
"He's quite an interesting person."
...
As night falls, a four-horse carriage speeds along a small road on the outskirts of Hongnong County.
A closer look reveals that three of the carriages were fully loaded with supplies.
Sun Jian, accompanied by his three wives, sat in the first carriage, resting with his eyes closed.
After bidding farewell to the old man and others at Juedelou, Sun Jian, for convenience and safety, hired a four-horse carriage from a security escort agency, and also hired four bodyguards to escort the supplies they had purchased along the way.
As of now, they have been traveling for three hours.
If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to return to Sunjiazhuang before midnight.
"My lord, you must be tired from your journey. Let me give you a shoulder massage to relieve your fatigue."
They had been in the carriage for three whole hours without any rest. Chu Qingcheng was worried that Sun Jian would get tired, so she made a request.
"No need, no need. You should rest. We'll be home in another hour. You can get the massage when we get home."
Sun Jian smiled gently, glanced tenderly at Chu Qingcheng, and gently pinched her cheek.
"All right……"
Chu Qingcheng knew that her husband cared about her, and that was why she always tried her best to make Sun Jian more comfortable and take better care of him.
Gu Zijian wasn't thinking about these things. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.
"My lord, the cost of hiring four horse-drawn carriages to transport our goods is already very high... Is it really necessary to hire four bodyguards to escort us?"
"It's necessary."
Sun Jian lazily opened his eyes and said slowly.
"Think about it, what era are we living in? There are refugees and displaced people everywhere. If they can't get enough to eat, some of them will rise up in rebellion, become mountain bandits, and who knows where a gang of bandits might suddenly appear."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingcheng was the first to nod in agreement, acknowledging that her husband's words demonstrated foresight.
Gu Zijian rolled his eyes at Sun Jian helplessly.
He couldn't bring himself to argue with Sun Jian, though the words were on the tip of his tongue.
Are you afraid of bandits and outlaws?
It should be the bandits and outlaws who are afraid of you!
Gu Zijian gave a wry smile, "Sister Chu, you are too good to your husband, you always go along with him."
In my opinion, it's completely unnecessary.
"These four bodyguards look burly, but it's easy to tell from their gait that they don't actually know any martial arts."
"The cost of hiring them is so high, but they are actually useless."
"If we really encounter bandits or brigands, only my husband and I can help."
Gu Zijian, mimicking Sun Jian's frequently used phrases, helplessly shrugged and offered his own thoughts.
"With my husband's skills, even if we were to encounter dozens of bandits robbing us, it would probably be the bandits who suffer the most."
"Husband, when did you start practicing martial arts? Why have I never realized you were so skilled?"
He recalled the scene from yesterday noon when Sun Jian fought with that burly man, Li Mu.
His martial arts skills were comparable to those of his father when he was alive!
Among the famous generals of his time, Sun Jian's skills were undoubtedly among the best, if not unmatched.
Sun Jian touched his nose and made up a story on the spot.
"Didn't I tell you before? I followed an old immortal in the mountains to learn medicine and martial arts."
"The old immortal passed on his skills to me, but he also made me swear that I must never reveal them, not even to my closest relatives."
"It's different from yesterday. Yesterday was a real life-or-death situation, hehe."
Sun Jian gave a silly laugh at the end of his sentence.
Neither Gu Zijian nor Chu Qingcheng believed Sun Jian's words!
It's obviously pure nonsense.
But undeniably, Sun Jian was already a legendary figure in the eyes of the three women.
It has long been labeled as a celestial being descended to earth.
Even if something miraculous were to happen again, they wouldn't be as shocked as before.
Sun Jian chuckled and quickly changed the subject, teasing Gu Zijian, "Hehe, I didn't expect my Zijian to be getting better and better at managing money. She even knows how to save money for her husband. Not bad, not bad. Keep it up."
Gu Zijian blushed and looked smug after being praised by Sun Jian.
But she still felt that four bodyguards were too expensive; even if she had the money, she shouldn't waste it.
"Don't worry, your husband has plenty of money now. We can hire four people to escort the car. Although the cost will be higher, it will save us a lot of trouble along the way."
Sun Jian patted his waist pouch and reminded the three women.
They still have over a hundred taels of silver in their pockets. Even if they do nothing from today onwards, and eat good wine and meat every day, it will be enough for the four of them to live on for more than a year.
There's absolutely no need to worry about not having money to spend.
Most importantly, with the three cartloads of supplies that Sun Jian bought, he could find a way to conjure up endless wealth.
All of this was part of Sun Jian's plan, but the time was not yet ripe, so there was no need to say it directly.
Gu Zijian and Chu Qingcheng both nodded in agreement, no longer dwelling on these issues.
Since their husbands did this, they must have had a purpose in doing so.
At this moment, Sun Jian glanced at Zhou Wan'er, who hadn't spoken yet, and seeing that she seemed lost in thought, he couldn't help but ask her.
"Wan'er".
"ah?"
Zhou Wan'er was startled by Sun Jian's sudden call. After regaining her senses, she responded.
"What's wrong with you today? You seem to be lost in thought all the time," Sun Jian asked, frowning.
It seems that Zhou Wan'er has been in a daze ever since she met that old man.
What's wrong with her?
Could it be that he knows that old man?
No way! They're completely unrelated.
How could a princess of the Great Zhou royal family know a high-ranking official in the cabinet of a great state?
