Chapter 12 Discussion
Looking at her lively little sister, Jun Qiulan's heart softened.
Suddenly I realized that although their family had suffered a disaster, it didn't seem to be a bad thing now.
Jun Qiulan first briefly explained what happened with Taoist Qingheng and his identity information.
Jun Yu thought for a moment, "Regardless of what the Taoist priest's intentions are, since we have assumed the title of master and disciple, Lan'er must act like a disciple."
Respecting teachers is ingrained in them.
"I know, but I'm not well off right now. I will definitely repay Master Qingheng in the future."
Now that the identity issue has been resolved, it will be safer to act there in the future without having to be so secretive.
Talking about mobile phones again.
He fully charged his phone yesterday at the barbecue restaurant, and he hasn't used it since. Zhang Li also taught him how to use the wireless network, and he has downloaded a lot of things on his phone.
The main reason is that Zhang Li is a quick-witted person and we are worried that the signal will be bad if he lives in the mountains.
Jun Shuwan was really curious about this thing, especially after Jun Qiulan showed them its photo and video recording functions.
A family of four sorted out their things and left their first photo and video on this phone.
By the way, he also explained the differences between the dramas over there and here, and opened an app that contained all kinds of dramas from there.
He also wanted to take time to watch some of them to see if he could find some inspiration for how to make a living there from these plays.
"Is this the drama over there?" Jun Shuwan asked curiously. "They don't wear heavy makeup on their faces, and the singing isn't like the opera we have here, which is so incomprehensible."
Jun Qiulan nodded and explained a little more. At the end, he remembered that he was temporarily planning to make a living from this, so he explained a little more.
"Being an actor isn't considered a lowly profession over there; it's just a very common job."
He also found out yesterday why there were no audiences when they performed, and where the audiences could see their performances.
I think that without having to deal with the audience face to face, Jun Qiulan will be more accepting of this industry.
When I was filming yesterday, although I was acting out a beating, it didn't hurt at all. It was no more painful than a little cat scratching me. It only took the time of an incense stick.
I earned a hundred yuan in the time it takes to stick an incense stick, which was enough to buy fifty kilograms of rice and forty kilograms of refined salt.
"Have you really considered this?"
Jun Qiulan nodded. "Father, Mother, I know you're worried, but there aren't many jobs we can do in this border town right now. It's hard labor, and the pay is low. It's even a problem to feed our family."
"Well, after selling the things Lan'er brought back, I think we will have enough capital to start a small business." Jun Shuwan was still worried. After all, she came from a merchant family and had seen too many scenes of flattery and bullying.
Although being an actor over there is just an ordinary job, it still depends on the person's mood.
She was quite knowledgeable about business and had some ideas in the past few days. She thought that since this town was poor, it would be impossible to do big business, but she could still do small business, and she would have no problem making ends meet.
After all, Jun Yu was born into a royal family. Although he didn't attach much importance to social status, he always felt that the job of an actor would be unfair to his son.
"Father, Mother, please listen to my analysis."
He became the crown prince at the age of eight, and received much praise from his tutor in his studies. At the age of twelve, he followed the emperor into the court. At that time, the emperor had no sons, and although he was not particularly affectionate towards him, he at least truly trained him as his successor.
As a result, he has also had some connections in the court over the years.
It was nothing originally, but now it has become a big problem.
The emperor showed his "benevolence" by only exiling him and not sending them to serve in the army, but he certainly did not want them to live a life of luxury in the border town.
Now the emperor is old and he has several princes. The court is in turmoil and there are many people behind them. They probably hope that he will rot in the border town.
If they live too well all of a sudden, they will probably suffer from a lot of evil intentions and will be unable to guard against them.
This border town is already in chaos, with many desperate criminals. It would not be difficult for their family of four to have an "accident".
They had just arrived at the border town when the higher-ups were keeping the closest watch on them.
Giving out an ugly cup would surely make the news known to the higher-ups soon, but that thing was insignificant after all. The four of them were once prominent figures, so it was understandable that they had hidden some treasures or had friends to help them.
It would be inappropriate to set up a big stall all of a sudden and make a living.
But they live their lives alone behind closed doors, and those spies can't lie on the beams of their house every day to watch what they eat and use.
Jun Qiulan's plan was to arrange the household expenses and then temporarily ask his father to go to the city to set up a stall to write letters to people to hide his tracks.
This border town is different from the capital. There are not many literate people here, and there are nearly 200,000 troops stationed here. It is impossible that all of them are military households in the border town. Most of them are soldiers from outside. If you want to write a letter to your family, you have to find a scholar outside and give him a few copper coins.
Although the letter writing business does not make much money, it can keep a family alive.
Jun Qiulan wanted his mother and younger sister to settle down at home temporarily and get to know the aunts and girls in the village better.
There was no way, he really was worried about his mother and sister going out.
As for himself, he would probably have to make a living there most of the time, and it would not be appropriate for him to be absent for a long time, so he would go out once in a while, pretending to be depressed and hopeless.
It seems normal that a favored child of heaven would be exiled to a border town and never recover.
This is also the result that the above people would most like to see.
Make other arrangements after this critical moment.
As for the question of the whole family going there to live, everyone has a certain tacit understanding in their hearts. If they can really go there, why didn't they just send them there together?
I just haven't tried it, but I still have some expectations in my heart.
After Jun Qiulan analyzed the interests involved, Jun Yu and Song Xirong couldn't help but sigh.
"My son is more thoughtful." There was some sadness in Jun Yu's eyes.
But he thought that setting up a stall and writing letters was a good idea. It was feasible, not tiring, and he could make some money.
I hadn’t thought about this small business before, mainly because I didn’t have the money to buy pens, ink, paper, and inkstone.
"Dad, don't worry about me. The world over there is really great. I'll record some videos for you someday. You'll know once you watch them."
Song Xirong straightened her son's hair and said, "Then I'll listen to you. Show me the styles of clothes over there and I'll make you a few. You're going to make a living over there, and you can't keep wearing these old clothes."
Jun Shuwan also said: "I'll help mother do it."
He knew that his brother was doing this for her own good. If it weren't for his father and brother who risked their lives to protect her during her exile, she wouldn't know what kind of suffering she would have endured.
This side town is even more chaotic. Even without her brother telling her, she herself doesn't want to go out.
It would be nice to stay at home and learn how to cook and do some embroidery from my mother.
Jun Qiulan patted his little sister's head and said, "When brother makes more money, he will buy a mobile phone for the family and download some videos and storybooks. Then mom and little sister won't be bored at home anymore."
"Why spend so much money?" Jun Shuwan was also sensible. This phone was so magical that it must be expensive. "Brother, don't exhaust yourself for these things."
Jun Qiulan just smiled.
The family discussed their future arrangements tenderly and talked about how to sell the two bottles.
"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Madam Zhao next door for help. Don't look for the local pawnshop first. It's best to look for those merchants or escort agencies and sell the things to other places. It doesn't matter if they can sell them at a lower price."
They just sold an ugly cup, and then they took out two bottles made of strange materials, which were also not suitable.
"Mom will go and talk to the old lady now."
The two families have been getting along pretty well these past few days. Old Madam Zhao is a kind person. She knows their previous identities and is afraid that they have not been exposed to life at the bottom of society, so she has given them a lot of advice, both overtly and covertly.
Song Xirong went over with the bottle and explained her purpose, and Mrs. Zhao did not refuse.
"There's really no other way. Our identities aren't right. This was secretly sent by an old friend in the capital. If we show up, we're afraid we'll cause trouble for him. But don't worry, old lady. This thing has never appeared on the market before, and its origin is unknown. Feel free to give it to me, old lady."
Song Xirong was very considerate. "It's sunny in this town during the day, but it's still a little chilly at night. We adults can bear it, but we're worried that the children will catch a cold. If we sell the Aquarius, the old lady can buy a few more quilts for the family."
It is only natural to pay them for running errands for them.
These words touched Madam Zhao's heart. The children were shivering in their sleep at night. They kept each other warm in the summer, but what would they do in the winter?
She called her eldest daughter-in-law over and said, "Yuan Shu's family is also in business, and she is very good at talking. I think she can help Madam sell it for a good price."
Song Xirong quickly thanked her, "Don't worry, Sister Yuan. My son will quietly follow you and protect you, and will not let you encounter any danger."
Yuan Shu waved her hand. "Madam, please don't say that. I really can't repay your kindness in helping us settle down. It's just an errand. Leave it to me."
He is also a decisive person. Song Xirong had noticed this when they were in the ruined temple.
The border town was poor, and even though Yuan Shu praised the bottles to the skies, and even though she made up a beautiful story for the two bottles, the two bottles together were only sold for two hundred taels of silver.
If you resell it to a prosperous provincial capital, you can probably make a profit of more than ten times the price.
Twenty taels were given to the old lady of the Zhao family. In order to keep a low profile, Jun Qiulan and the others bought quilts, pillows, pots, pans, and a few feet of blue cloth from people in the village.
Only Jun Yu went to the city to buy a set of inferior writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

I just realized yesterday that I didn’t have paragraph reviews, but now they are open.
Thank you all for your support.
