"What did you do?"
"I went to see my second brother! He's much stronger now! He also looks much more energetic and hardworking, not like the lazy guy he used to be!"
This was a surprise to Hu: "Did you really see him?"
Ji Changying nodded heavily and pieced together what happened when he met Ji Mingxue, leaving out only the part where his credit was stolen and he was injured.
Hu's eyes filled with tears after hearing this: "He has never done any heavy work at home. At most, he worked in the fields for a few days. Now he is looking for trouble! I don't feel sorry for him. He brought this upon himself! He will have to work wherever he wants in the future!"
"...If you don't feel sorry for him, why are you crying?"
"Bah! Who cares about that little bastard? If he dares to come back, I'll break his legs! He's already grown up and still runs away from home. He deserves death!"
Mrs. Hu spat, and after knowing that he was fine, the anger in her heart came out again. Thinking about how he ran away from home without saying a word, her back teeth were ground.
"Ahem, well, my brother said he'd earn you a title of imperial consort! How filial is that? The past is the past, so don't be angry."
Mrs. Hu snorted, "Given his lazy appearance, I was expecting him to earn me a title of consort. He's not as steady as your eldest brother, nor as shrewd as your third brother, and not even half as clever as Xiaochuan. I'm thankful he's safe and sound!"
Mrs. Hu said with some disdain, but she couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of her mouth. The look in her eyes and eyebrows showed that she had lost a lot of worry.
Ji Changying saw through it but didn't say anything. She smiled and acted coquettishly: "I'm hungry~~I want to eat!"
"Wait! I'll do it for you right away!"
Mrs. Hu rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen in high spirits.
Ji Changying jumped onto the wall next door and asked, "Master, are you home?"
Ren Dongnan opened the window and said, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, shut up."
"Hey, I helped someone open up their meridians last night. Do you have any other martial arts manuals? I'm not too many, I'll give you 70 or 80!"
Ren Dongnan's face rarely showed surprise and astonishment. He looked at her incredulously: "Come on, come down! Let's talk in detail."
Ji Changying didn't think much about it. She flew directly from the wall to his windowsill. She squatted on the windowsill and told him what happened last night: "My family's genes are incredible. My brother is almost an adult, but I didn't expect him to be able to open up the gene! I have two older brothers and a younger brother. I'll give it to them too."
Ren Dongnan's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he couldn't help but scold: "Reckless!"
Ji Changying was speaking excitedly, but stopped when she was interrupted.
"Do you know how risky it is to open up someone's meridians? I thought you were just asking out of curiosity, but I didn't expect you to be so bold as to open up someone's meridians!"
"Who taught you to be so bold? Without absolute trust and sufficient understanding, who would be willing to do such a thing? Are you crazy?!"
Ren Dongnan pulled her down from the windowsill. "How old is your second brother this year? He's almost an adult, right? His meridians and bones are already formed! It's not that easy to open them up. You're just lucky this time! Otherwise, I'd see you half-dead, crying, carrying your second brother's body home!"
Ji Changying thought of Ji Mingxue's expression at that time, and shrank her neck in fear: "Then... when I opened up the meridians, it seemed quite simple. Wasn't this unexpected?"
Ren Dongnan snorted, "Of course your situation is different from theirs, otherwise how could I be interested in you?"
If it were someone else, even if they teased him for a few months, let alone a few years, they would not be able to make him take action.
"Hehe, I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again next time. But now I've helped my second brother open up his meridians, so isn't that okay? He's at least half your apprentice, so do you have any secret manuals or anything?"
Ji Changying came up to him with a flattering smile on her face and stretched out her hand to ask for it.
"You are the one who got through, so I consider you half-disciple. What does it have to do with me?"
Ren Dongnan rejected her coldly and ruthlessly.
"Tsk! How stingy! Even if he's half my apprentice, he's still half my grand-disciple! Really not?"
"No."
"Oh, how poor!"
Ji Changying shook her head and sighed, preparing to leave, which made Ren Dongnan so angry that he grabbed her collar and threw her out.
…
The opening time of Anxiang Flower Shop has passed, and Ji Changying received several letters telling her about what happened on the opening day.
Kou Yunyi's tone was full of resentment. She was stopped from entering before the opening. After a lot of effort, she went there with people on the opening day, but she didn't see Ji Changying at all.
After asking about the situation, I found out that she didn't go at all!
"You're really careless. You just opened your own shop and became a hands-off manager. But I think the manager you found is not bad..."
"Zhang Leyao somehow heard that this flower shop was owned by you, so she brought a bunch of her friends to go and pick some faults. Unexpectedly, she tried her best but came up empty-handed. In the end, she fell in love with several pots of flowers in your shop, and was finally moved by your manager. When she left, the maid behind her was holding several pots of flowers! When she realized what was going on, she was so embarrassed and angry that I laughed her to death..."
Even if Ji Changying didn't see Kou Yunyi's expression, she could imagine that she was gloating.
There was also a letter sent by Manager Wang, which fully described the business situation on the opening day.
Although many people think that flowers are rare and beautiful, not many people can afford them.
So not many were sold, but what was unexpected was that although not many flowers were sold, many people took a fancy to the snacks in the shop, and when they left, they all asked to buy some to take away.
Shopkeeper Wang spoke with great emotion, thinking that even if the flower business failed, he could still make a lot of money just by selling snacks.
After reading the letter, Ji Changying just laughed it off and did not reply.
Because she was busy harvesting potatoes.
The potato planting was not widely publicized, so the villagers only knew that Ji Changying led a group of women to plant something new, but they didn't know what this new thing was.
They were also extremely low-key during the harvest, but when they saw a seedling pulled out of the ground and the fruits underneath, Yao Sanniang and the others were all stunned, covering their mouths with surprise.
"Oh my god!! This! There are so many!"
"How could it be? It was clearly just this small patch when I planted it!"
They dug out several plants in succession, and all had the same result.
Ji Changying thought it was expected: "Okay, don't make such a fuss for now, quickly get them all out and weigh them to see the yield and whether it meets expectations."
