Su Jingshu always wanted her daughter to grow up in an easy and happy environment, but Ningbao was always ambitious. Every day she was either studying metaphysics, writing calligraphy assigned by the teacher, or planning what business to start to make the silver in her storage talisman generate more money.
The next morning, before even setting off, Zhou Mingxin arrived at the room where Ning Bao and Su Jingshu were staying.
"Mother, my elder brother has sent a letter. Father has returned safely."
Su Jingshu was overjoyed to hear that her husband was safe. She reached out and took the letter Zhou Mingxin handed her.
"That's great, it's good that your dad is back."
well!
It's always cold up north, and your older brother said it feels much colder this year than usual.
Zhou Mingxin nodded.
"Yes, Mother, our Zhenbei Army soldiers haven't changed their cotton-padded clothes this year, and the imperial court hasn't taken any action yet."
My older brother told us to look for grains, cotton, cloth, and medicinal herbs along the way, and buy whatever we could.
"We might not even need it by then."
After Zhou Mingxin finished speaking, he looked at Ning Bao.
"Ningbao, I'd like to ask you for a storage talisman."
Ning Bao took out three storage talismans without hesitation and handed them to Zhou Mingxin.
"Is brother going to buy supplies for Father and the others?"
Zhou Mingxin nodded.
"Yes, it's always good to have more supplies in case of emergencies."
Ning Bao thought for a moment and then took out another storage talisman and handed it to Zhou Mingxin.
"Brother, this talisman contains gold, silver, cloth, medicinal herbs, and bricks."
I took all of these from wealthy families during my escape from famine. You can use them.
We need to buy more supplies; it might be much colder than usual this year, and the snow might be much heavier, maybe even...
Zhou Mingxin nodded, not letting Ning Bao continue.
"Okay, brother understands. You keep the gold and silver, I'll take the rest."
Ningbao shook her head and patted the small crossbody bag at her waist.
"Don't worry, brother. Ningbao never mistreats herself. Ningbao has a lot of gold here."
Ningbao wants to provide for his parents, his master, his uncle, his grandparents, and many, many other people in their old age.
Although Ningbao is still young and can earn money, she was worried that she might not be able to earn money in the future, so she saved some gold...
Since he had decided to purchase supplies, Zhou Mingxin changed his departure date from after breakfast to after lunch, instead of leaving after breakfast.
After breakfast, Zhou Mingxin and Bai Ming set off. Zhou Mingxin was in charge of the grain store and cloth shop, while Bai Ming was in charge of the pharmacy.
Wushi County is just a small county town with limited things to buy.
Now that they knew Zhou Chengxing had returned safely, everyone was no longer in a hurry to continue their journey.
Their current goal is supplies, and they try to stay in the city as long as possible so they can buy more supplies.
Ning Bao remained completely unconcerned about Zhou Chengxing's safety.
She had long anticipated that her father's death was not this time...
