After Chang Yue finished testing the knife, Granny Feng said again: "Miss, I have to ask you to make up your mind about something."
Changyue asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
So Granny Feng told her what had happened just now when the housekeeper next to the eldest lady had just arrived.
Chang Yue used to be frail and sick, so the Li family would allocate a fixed amount of money every month to treat her illness and buy medicines. But now that Chang Yue's health is gone, there is no need to buy medicines.
However, Chang Yue has no intention of letting her family know the true condition of her body for the time being, so the eldest lady will definitely continue to send medicine here.
The medicine was delivered but was not used, so it was wasted. This gave Granny Feng both a headache and heartache.
The medicines delivered by Madam in the past few months are still gathering dust in the warehouse.
Chang Yue lowered her head and thought for a while and said: "Why don't you just ask the madam to convert the medicine into money for us, and then we can just buy the medicine ourselves." It happened that she was short of money now.
Granny Feng said awkwardly: "The only way is to report it to the eldest lady."
"Okay, I'll talk later."
After the discussion came out, Chang Yue called Sang Ye and took her to the eldest lady's yard.
The courtyard where Chang Yue lives is in a remote location, a bit far away from the main courtyard where the eldest lady lives. To get there, you have to cross almost half of the Li Mansion.
When walking through the garden, suddenly a black shadow jumped out of the grass and hit Chang Yue directly. In order to fit her frail and sick persona, Chang Yue pretended to stagger back several steps until Sang Ye held her back, and she barely managed to stand still.
At the same time, the black shadow on the opposite side also squatted hard.
"Hey, who is it? Don't you have eyes?"
Sang Ye suddenly became unhappy, "It was obviously you who hit my young lady, why are you still being reasonable!"
Chang Yue took a closer look and saw that the person who bumped into him was a fat man who looked to be about seven or eight years old. He was dressed in silk and satin and looked very noble.
Little fat Li Changqian, the ninth young master of the Li family and the ninth younger brother of Chang Yue, is now eight years old. He has not yet had his bones measured, so he has not started practicing. He usually studies in the Li family. I don’t know why he is here today. coming.
The little fat man got up from the ground nimbly, his eyes rolling around, "Are you the seventh sister?"
The little fat man was young and it was difficult to meet Chang Yue, so he could only barely recognize Chang Yue's identity.
"Ahem...it's my...ninth brother." Changyue covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and smiled softly at the little fat man, like a small white flower swaying in the wind.
The Jade Bone Technique is quite special. The skin of those who practice it tends to turn white. Therefore, even though Chang Yue's body has recovered, there is still no color on her face. With her weak physique, Liu Fufeng makes people look at her at a glance. It would feel like she wouldn't survive more than three days.
Probably because of the golden finger, no one else could tell that Chang Yue had practiced. This had long been confirmed by Granny Feng and Sang Ye.
Seeing that the person he bumped into was his seventh sister, who was rarely seen in ten thousand years, the little fat man didn't hold himself accountable for being knocked down. He casually patted the dust on his body, looked at Changyue curiously and asked:
"Where are you going, Seventh Sister?"
The seventh sister is so beautiful, but her face is a bit too pale... Li Changqian couldn't help but think to himself.
"I have something to go to Madam's place."
"Oh..." Li Changqian was about to say something, but suddenly he heard someone calling him from behind, and quickly said to Changyue, "Sister Qi, go quickly, I'll leave first!" After that, he ran away in a hurry.
Chang Yue had just taken two steps when she saw her eighth sister, Li Changye, running towards her panting with two maids.
Li Changye, the eighth young lady of the Li family, is one year younger than Chang Yue. She is now thirteen years old. She is the same mother as the ninth son Li Changqian. She is also a young genius in martial arts, so she is quite favored in the family.
Seeing Chang Yue, Li Changye hesitated for a moment before walking over and asking, "I have met the seventh sister. I wonder if the seventh sister has seen the ninth brother?"
Changyue nodded: "Ninth brother passed by here just now, but in the blink of an eye he ran away and didn't know where he went."
Li Changye said disappointedly when he heard this: "That's it...Thank you, Seventh Sister, for informing me." After saying that, he took the maid and continued to look for Li Changqian.
Although Chang Yue didn't know what the two siblings were doing, she had no desire to investigate. She turned around and took Sang Ye to the eldest lady's yard.
"I've met Miss Seven." When they arrived at the door of the Madam's Courtyard, the little maid guarding the door immediately came to greet her, "I wonder why Miss Seven is here today..."
The eldest lady does not usually have the habit of letting concubines and concubines come to pay their respects, so the young masters and ladies usually don't come here when they have nothing to do, let alone Chang Yue, the seventh lady who is hidden in Shenyin most of the time.
Changyue said: "I have something to discuss with the eldest lady, please let me know."
"Miss Seventh, please come in first." The little maid said with a smile on her face, "I will go and inform Madam."
After welcoming Chang Yue into the courtyard, the little maid quickly ran into the house and came out again after a while.
"Miss Seven, Madam, please come in."
"Thank you, sister." Changyue said and took Sang Ye into the house.
As soon as she entered the house, Chang Yue saw the eldest lady Luo Fengqiao sitting cross-legged on the couch with her eyes closed. Two maids were fanning her at the side. It seemed that the eldest lady was adjusting her breathing.
The eldest lady Luo Fengqiao has a gorgeous appearance and is a complete beauty. Otherwise, Li Xuan, an old pervert, would not have married her as his wife. After all, the eldest lady's family background was not that outstanding at first.
Time does not seem to have left many traces on the face of the eldest lady. She is obviously in her forties, but she looks like she is in her early thirties. Her hair is black and shiny, and her skin is smooth and tender. However, her face is too energetic and a bit ruined. Beauty.
"Madam." Changyue Fu bowed and called out in a low voice.
Luo Fengqiao slowly opened his eyes, and the sharp look on his face became more obvious.
"Chang Yue, I heard that Forsythia said that you have something to discuss with me. What is it?"
"Madam, now that my health has improved, I don't need to call a doctor every now and then. I just need to spend some money on medicine. So in order not to trouble the housekeeper to come to my place every month, I thought, it's better to buy the medicine instead. The money for the medicine will be given directly to me, and I will just send people to buy the medicine myself as needed, so as to avoid unnecessary waste."
Luo Fengqiao glanced at Chang Yue's pale face and didn't believe that she was in good health. After all, she had fainted once not long ago. She just felt that Chang Yue was old and knew what she had planned for herself.
She felt that Chang Yue could not practice cultivation after all, and it would be difficult to find a good place to go in the future, so she thought of saving more money.
Luo Fengqiao, who felt that he had guessed Chang Yue's thoughts, did not intend to expose Chang Yue. Instead, he said, "That's fine." She gave the money, but she couldn't care about Chang Yue's physical problems in the future. After all, the requirement was Chang Yue. Yue mentioned it himself.
"You are a big girl now, and it's time to learn to manage money. Let you control this money yourself." After saying this, the eldest lady turned to look at the mother in charge and ordered her, "Mother Wang, take the money with you." Miss, please go to the accounting office and report it. From now on, the money spent on buying medicines in Miss Qi’s hospital will be left to Miss Qi herself.”
"Yes, madam." Wang's mother looked at Chang Yue and said, "Miss Qi, please come with me."
"Thank you, madam." Chang Yue bowed to the eldest lady, then turned around and took Sang Ye out of the house with Wang's mother.
After hanging out in the backyard of the Li Mansion for so many years, Chang Yue had a fairly good understanding of the eldest lady's temperament, and had already guessed that this trip would not be a big problem, so she didn't feel surprised at all when she saw the eldest lady agreeing so straightforwardly.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Wang, Changyue quickly completed the report at the accounting office. From now on, Changyue Courtyard will just send someone here to collect the money directly every month.
After returning to her yard, Chang Yue asked Granny Feng: "Grandma, are the medicinal materials that Madam sent you a few months ago still there?"
Grandma Feng replied: "They are all placed in the warehouse."
"Let's sell them. We're short of money recently."
Granny Feng hesitated and said, "Isn't it good that this was discovered?"
Chang Yue said indifferently: "We just need to be careful."
Grandma Feng had no choice but to agree, "Then just listen to the young lady. Now that the young lady can practice, there are many places where money is needed. It's good to sell it."
Chang Yue was led into the warehouse by Grandma Feng and found that there were quite a lot of medicinal materials saved over the past few months. "These are all top-quality medicinal materials. It would be a waste to pile them up here to gather dust."
"They are indeed high-quality medicinal materials. The eldest lady has treated the young lady fairly these years." Granny Feng couldn't help but sigh. She has lived at such a long time and knows that most people treat their concubines and concubines harshly. The young lady was indifferent, but she never treated her harshly. She provided everything that a young lady should have.
"There are a lot of medicinal materials. I'm afraid I can't take them out at once. Let's sell them in batches." Chang Yue said.
"Listen to the young lady. Leave the matter of selling medicine to the old slave."
"It's better for me to go." Chang Yue objected, "I've been staying at home for so long, so I wanted to go out and get some fresh air."
"Then I'll accompany the young lady." Granny Feng was still worried, and was even unwilling to let Sang Ye accompany Chang Yue, feeling that Sang Ye was unreliable.
Chang Yue shook her head, "If there are too many people, it's easy to attract the attention of the mansion. You and Sang Ye should guard the courtyard."
"But..." Granny Feng was still worried.
Changyue said firmly: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I am sensible."
When Grandma Feng heard this, she could only sigh and said, "Young lady has grown up... Okay, I will listen to my young lady."
So the next day, Changyue borrowed a set of Sangye's clothes, disguised herself again, made herself very inconspicuous, and then climbed out of the backyard wall.
Chang Yue's residence was one of the most remote places in Li Mansion. Relatively speaking, the guard force here was relatively weak, so Chang Yue successfully left Li Mansion with a bag of medicinal materials on his back without any effort.
After leaving Li Mansion, Chang Yue did not go to the pharmacy where they bought medicine before, but went to another pharmacy in Mingyue City that was far away from Li Mansion.
When the clerk in the shop saw Chang Yue coming in with a big baggage on her back, he immediately guessed that she was here to sell medicine, so he asked with a smile: "Girl, are you here to sell medicine?"
This medicine shop also buys medicinal materials from herbal collectors outside Mingyue City on weekdays, so the clerk thought that Chang Yue was also a herbal collector, and he couldn't help but think: It seems that this girl has made a good harvest, but she doesn't know the medicinal materials. How about the quality.
Changyue put the baggage in her hand in front of the clerk, nodded and said, "Yes, selling medicine."
"Let me take a look first before talking." The clerk opened the bag as he spoke, and then he felt something was wrong, "Girl, these medicinal materials of yours are all prepared. They were not picked recently, right?" Could it be that they came from the wrong way? Could it be that this little maid stole the master's medicinal materials to sell?
Seeing that the waiter looked wrong, Chang Yue immediately told a half-truth and half-false lie: "The thing is like this, some time ago, my young lady fell ill, and the master bought a lot of medicinal materials to replenish her body. But who would have thought that the young lady would be cured soon. These medicinal materials Naturally, they were not used, so the lady asked me to sell them."
Hearing this, the clerk suddenly realized what he said, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief: "No wonder, I think these are all top-quality medicinal materials!" He knew how to identify medicinal materials, and saw that most of these medicinal materials were tonic for the body, so he did not doubt Chang Yue's words. .
"Of course! Our master is very fond of the young lady, so of course he uses high-quality medicinal materials." Chang Yue pretended to be proud and said, "It is precisely because they are all high-quality medicinal materials that the young lady asked me to send them for sale because she was afraid of wasting them. It fell."
The clerk said with a smile: "I understand, I understand, we have collected all these medicinal materials!"
After successfully selling the medicinal materials, Chang Yue left the pharmacy happily.
After collecting the money from selling the medicine, Chang Yue planned to wander around the city to see if he could think of a way to make money. After all, the money from selling medicine alone could not buy much jade.
Mingyue City is a bustling city, very lively during the day, but it's a pity that Chang Yue couldn't find a way to make money after walking around for a long time.
There is no way, she has no skills and no capital, so it is really not easy to make money.
Feeling a little tired from shopping, Chang Yue casually found a teahouse, planning to rest for a while before going back.
The tea house's business was very good. When Chang Yue entered, it was already full of guests, and there were even some warriors.
She randomly found a place to sit by the window, then ordered a pot of tea, and slowly drank tea while looking at the busy street outside.
"Hey, have you heard that the flower-picking thief Mr. Hua Yue has come to Mingyue City?"
At this time, the conversation between several warriors not far away caught Changyue's attention.
"Could you be talking about Mr. Hua Yue who deceived Fairy Ziling of Liuyun Sect?"
"Isn't it him? Who else could be there besides him? It is said that Liuyun Sect has issued a pursuit order for him. It is precisely because of this that he escaped to Chaoyun Sect's territory."
"This flower-picking thief is also very courageous. It's not good to lie to anyone. He chose to provoke Fairy Ziling. She is the daughter of the leader of the Liuyun Sect! I don't know what will happen to him after he is caught."
"Liu Yun Sect may not be able to catch him. It is said that the flower picker's escape skills are so good that no matter how many people tried to catch him, they could not catch him. Now he has escaped to Chaoyun Sect's territory again, and Liu Yun Sect wants to catch him. It’s not easy.”
Both are one of the three major sects in Minzhou. Although the Liuyun Sect and the Chaoyun Sect have a good relationship on the surface, they are actually not harmonious in private. This can be said to be a tacit secret among everyone in the Minzhou Wulin.
Speaking of the grudges between the two sects, we have to mention the origins of the two.
Although Minzhou today is co-governed by three major sects, Liuyun Sect, Chaoyun Sect and Tianya Haige, hundreds of years ago, Minzhou had only one super sect, the Yunxia Sect.
Unfortunately, civil strife broke out in Yunxia Sect for unknown reasons. The huge sect fell apart for a while, and the remaining disciples were divided into two factions, which eventually evolved into today's Chaoyun Sect and Liuyun Sect.
The two sects have each claimed that they are the orthodox Yunxia Sect for hundreds of years, and they often have conflicts in private, so the relationship between them is not good.
Now that Mr. Hua Yue, who had been ordered to kill by the Liuyun Sect, had fled to the territory of the Chaoyun Sect, the Liuyun Sect would definitely need the cooperation of the Chaoyun Sect, but how could the Chaoyun Sect listen to the Liuyun Sect so much?
"Liuyun Sect also said that if anyone can help them catch or kill Mr. Huayue, they are willing to offer thousands of gold!"
"It's true, Qianjin, Liuyun Sect is really generous."
"Hey, for such a big sect like them, a thousand pieces of gold is nothing, it's just a drizzle."
"It would be great if I could catch Mr. Huayue. That's a lot of gold. If I had this thousand gold, I would buy a good book of Kung Fu..." One of the warriors said with a fantasy look on his face.
His partner slapped him awake and said, "Wake up, I'm afraid you'll lose your life to Hua You. Besides, can you beat Mr. Hua Yue?"
"Hehe, just kidding, just kidding..."
………
Changyue drank tea and listened to the gossip with great relish.
Seeing that the time was almost up and having heard enough gossip, Chang Yue got up and left the teahouse, and then quietly climbed over the wall and returned home.
In the next few days, Chang Yue took advantage of her leisure time to sneak out of the house and sell the remaining medicinal materials in batches. Each time she went to a different medicine shop, she finally saved enough money.
On this day, Changyue left the Li Mansion with the money from selling the medicine, planning to buy another batch of jade scraps to come back to practice.
But this time she did not choose to sneak out. Instead, she took Sang Ye through the front door openly, using the same excuse of buying medicine.
Although Chang Yue took the script of staying at home and being a lady, it seemed more normal to go out once in a while.
After taking Sang Ye for a casual stroll outside, Chang Yue walked towards the jewelry store she had visited before.
However, before they reached their destination, the master and servant ran into trouble.
The master and servant were walking on the road when they suddenly heard a burst of exclamations in front of them. Then Chang Yue saw two people running fast on the roof in the distance, one chasing the other, and the onlookers were shouting. Let out an exclamation.
The two of them were very fast, and they used light skills when flying. They were obviously masters with outstanding martial arts skills.
Before Chang Yue could react, the one in front had already arrived on the roof in front of her and Sang Ye, and like a roc bird descending from the sky, landed directly opposite Chang Yue, hugged her waist, and carried her with him. She flew into the air.
"Girl, do me a favor, and I will let you go afterwards." The person whispered softly into Chang Yue's ear.
"Miss!!!"
Sang Ye let out an exclamation, then started using Qing Gong and chased the thief who captured his young lady.
