Lin Jiuyue smiled and nodded.
“No, it works very well.”
When Xiyue heard Lin Jiuyue's praise, a smile appeared on her face.
When the villagers who came to buy food heard this, they smiled awkwardly.
"Well, Miss Lin, your remaining grain is useless anyway, so you can get some money by selling it to us. If you don't sell it, wouldn't it be a shame if it goes bad?"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
"That won't happen. I just said that the grain can be sold, but at a price of five copper coins per pound, it can only be sold to the villagers of Shangbei Village. And each person can only sell 20 pounds."
"Now the villagers in Shangbei Village have bought enough coarse grains. They will not sell the remaining coarse grains even if they rot at home."
The remaining coarse grains should be kept for later use.
If someone has no food to eat later, they can borrow food from me or buy food, so that they can also get food themselves!
"Really not selling it?"
"You can sell it, but it costs eight copper coins per pound. If you still want to buy it, I'll sell it to you. There's no limit on the quantity, you can buy as much as you want."
When the villagers heard this, they said something angrily.
“This, this is too expensive.”
Lin Jiuyue looked at the person who came and smiled.
"Since your relative thinks it's too expensive, let him buy cheaper ones. This is the price of our grain."
Seeing that the price of grain was the same as that in the town, the villagers stopped pestering Lin Jiuyue and turned away.
"Miss, how could there be such a person? We also bought our food with money. If we sell it to them at five copper coins a pound, not only will we not make any money, we will even lose money."
"Not only are they not grateful, they're even thinking of bringing their relatives to take advantage of this! It really makes me so angry."
Lin Jiuyue said calmly.
"What's there to be angry about? People always seek profit and avoid harm. If they can spend very little to get huge benefits, everyone is willing to do it."
Not to mention others, even you want to buy cheap things, right?
Xiyue pursed her lips.
"But the young lady also spent money to buy her coarse grains. Everyone in the village knows this."
Xiyue said indignantly.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Just as Xiyue was standing up for Lin Jiuyue, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss, could it be that someone is here to buy food again? Do they really think you're being taken advantage of?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Go open the door first. If it's a villager coming to buy food, tell them your daughter is busy right now."
Hearing Lin Jiuyue say this, Xiyue happily ran to open the door.
After a while, he ran back.
Lin Jiuyue was watering the medicinal herbs in the yard. When she saw Xiyue running back, she asked.
"Who is it?"
"Miss, someone has come from the capital, claiming to be from the General's Mansion. Should I let her in?"
Lin Jiuyue was stunned when she heard this.
Someone from the General's Mansion? Could it be Gu Chengyan's family?
“But the Gu family?”
Xiyue frowned slightly.
"This servant didn't ask, but she said he was from the General's Mansion. I wonder if he was from the Gu family."
Xiyue's previous master was not from the capital and did not know much about the affairs of the capital. However, Xiyue had heard of the general who guarded the country.
"Let him in."
When Lin Jiuyue heard Xiyue say that he was from the General's Mansion, she knew that this person must have been sent by Gu Chengyan's mother.
I just don’t know why Gu Chengyan’s beautiful mother sent someone to find me.
After receiving Lin Jiuyue's instructions, Xiyue turned around and went out the door.
After a while, a man dressed like a servant came in.
"Miss Lin, long time no see."
When Xiyue entered the courtyard, Lin Jiuyue saw the servant following behind her. This person was none other than Madam Gu's capable nanny. Nanny Gui!
"Madam Gui? Why are you here?"
When Lin Jiuyue first went to the General's Mansion, she met Aunt Gui. At that time, Aunt Gui was still with the General's wife.
But when Lin Jiuyue went to the general's mansion for the second time, she didn't see Nanny Gui anymore.
As an outsider, Lin Jiuyue felt embarrassed to ask about the servants' affairs.
"Miss Lin, Madam asked me to come over and invite Miss Lin to the General's Mansion for a chat."
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
Gu Chengyan's beautiful mother asked her to go to the general's mansion? Could it be because something happened to Gu Chengyan or Qiye at the border?
Thinking of this, Lin Jiuyue's heart was lifted up.
"Madame Gui, do you know why the General's wife asked me to come over?"
Aunt Gui saw a look of worry suddenly appear on Lin Jiuyue's face and said with a smile.
"Miss Lin, don't worry. My wife said she hasn't seen Miss Lin for a long time and wanted to invite her to her house to reminisce about the past. There's nothing else to worry about."
Lin Jiuyue felt relieved after hearing this.
"Madam Gui? Are you tired from the long journey? Sit down and rest for a while. Let me pack up before leaving."
When Aunt Gui first met Lin Jiuyue, she had a very good impression of her. Now that she saw Lin Jiuyue being so respectful and polite to her, she nodded secretly in her heart, and her impression of Lin Jiuyue improved by two points.
"Miss Lin, don't worry. My wife said that she just wants Miss Lin to reminisce about the past. Miss Lin can take her time."
After talking with Aunt Gui for a while, Lin Jiuyue went back to the room to pack her things.
If there was nothing else, Madam Gu wouldn't have asked her capable maid to invite her over. She said they were here to reminisce about the past, but it was likely because there was something she couldn't let the servants know, so she had no choice but to say so.
But judging from the servant's tone and what he relayed to me, what Madam Gu wanted to say was probably not a big deal.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiuyue was no longer so anxious.
"Miss, do we need to bring so many things?"
Seeing that Lin Jiuyue had packed up so many valuable things after a while, Xiyue asked in confusion,
"A lot? I think it's okay."
These things may be rare and valuable in the eyes of others, but in my own eyes, they are not really valuable items.
Because there are too many of these things in my space!
"Miss, isn't that enough?"
"Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Dendrobium officinale, and that other thing, I can't even name them all!"
Although she couldn't remember the name, Xiyue knew that since Lin Jiuyue put this thing together with ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, it must not be something worthless.
"Haha, these things are not worth much money. Your young lady has plenty of them."
"Besides? When your young lady first came to the capital, she was able to be assigned to Shangbei Village thanks to the care of the Gu family. Otherwise, your young lady would be somewhere in the corner right now! I think the small gift I gave to your young lady is not enough."
