I saw that both doors of the thatched house were open.

She walked into a room, and the inside and the simple thatched house outside were like two different worlds.

A large bed, a tall wardrobe, and a dressing table. When you open the wardrobe, you will find silk quilts and bedding neatly stacked inside.

The pattern on it seems to be embroidered by hand and is extremely exquisite.

Jiang Shuyue touched the soft mattress and felt overjoyed. Was she living a life of owning a car and a house?

The house still comes with it.

Come to another room.

Rows of wooden boxes lined the walls.

She suppressed her excitement and reached for the wooden box.

Silently thinking about gold, silver and jewelry.

The lid of the wooden box was opened, and a box of black stuff that looked like rabbit droppings appeared in front of him.

She grabbed a handful and sniffed it. It didn't stink, and it still had a light fragrance.

She opened the wooden boxes one by one, and there were some strange seeds inside.

After closing the wooden box, she looked at the medicinal materials she had planted in the spiritual soil.

The newly planted herbs are already more than a foot tall and will be ready to be transplanted to the mountain in a few days.

I poured the medicinal materials over with spiritual spring water and looked at the horses munching grass in the distance.

That was the horse she took from the village.

Jiang Shuyue frowned slightly. The fastest means of transportation here is the horse. She should learn to ride a horse.

One morning, after breakfast, Su Jin carefully put the prepared medicinal materials into a cloth bag.

"How many times more can the medicinal materials prepared by my sister be sold for? How much should these red ginseng sticks be sold for?" The handsome young man raised his face and looked at Jiang Shuyue.

Jiang Shuyue put down the bowl and said, "Sister A and Qiu Ju will go to the county town with you. The price offered by the town is too low."

"Mom! Sister, whatever you need, I will buy it for you."

Seeing that his eldest brother didn't ask himself, Su Nan's eyes lit up as he looked at the cloth bag containing the medicinal materials: "Brother, can you buy me an abacus? I have learned all the formulas that my sister taught me."

Jiang Shuyue rubbed Sunan's head: "We Nannan will be the big shopkeeper in the future, so we must have abacus."

Su Hui shook her head and said she didn't need anything.

Aunt Su looked down at Sui Sui in her arms, thought for a moment and said, "Buy some cotton cloth to make autumn and winter clothes for Sui Sui."

"Mom, I got it." Su Jin turned around and went to hitch the mule cart.

Jiang Shuyue handed the medicinal materials to Qiu Ju, took her son from Aunt Su's arms and kissed him on his chubby little face.

"Be good, mother, you will be back in the afternoon."

"mother!"

The little guy's phoenix eyes suddenly shone with mist, and his little hands hugged Jiang Shuyue's neck and refused to let go.

Jiang Shuyue felt inexplicably guilty as she watched Suisui's smart phoenix eyes look more and more like what she remembered.

These children don't look like me at all, and they probably look exactly like that person.

She couldn't help but secretly worry that if she returned to the capital in the future, someone would come to recognize her relatives and steal her years.

Seeing Sui Sui's clingy look, Su Nan coaxed her warmly: "Do you want to go see Brother Shuisheng, Sui Sui?"

When talking about Shui Sheng, the little guy's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Look for Shui Sheng."

Xu Shuisheng was only three years older than Sui Sui. His father was captured and sent to the army just after they got married, and villagers who had never been trained were dragged into the battlefield.

Bad news soon came back from the border. Xu Shuisheng's mother left Yunling Village after giving birth to him and remarried somewhere else.

Xu Shuisheng and his grandmother were left to depend on each other.

Over the years, the Su family often helped the poor grandfather and grandson.

After Jiang Shuyue came here, she often helped him overtly and covertly.

Shuisheng, who is more than four years old, is very active. He is a small person with great strength and can already lift the weight of a bucket of rice.

The age difference between Shui Sheng and Sui Sui was the smallest in the village. Every time Su Nan brought Sui Sui to Shui Sheng's house, the little guy would never leave.

Watching Sunan leave with Suisui in her arms, Jiang Shuyue went back to the courtyard to get a curtain hat and put it on.

When I went to town not long ago, I met a middle-aged man with fat head and big ears, dressed in silk, who chased her and asked her where she was from.

Qiu Ju was so frightened that she turned around and ran away.

If she had traveled through time a few years earlier, she would have definitely learned martial arts, and when she met a disciple, she would have beaten him to pieces.

Now she only places her hope on Suisui.

It was almost noon when the three of them arrived at the county seat.

Jiang Shuyue led the two of them directly to Jimin Hall, where they sold a total of fifty-five taels of medicinal materials.

When the old man saw Jiang Shuyue again, his eyes showed surprise.

"It turns out that the girl has found a place to stay in Zhuxi County. Many women come to my hospital for treatment. If the girl is willing, she can come to Jimin Hall. We only treat women. The monthly schedule can be discussed."

The old doctor spoke sincerely.

"Thank you, senior, I really can't come." Jiang Shuyue decisively refused.

The old doctor had a look of regret on his face and had no choice but to say: "If the girl makes red ginseng again, no matter how big or small, please come to Jimin Hall to sell it."

After bidding farewell to the old doctor, Jiang Shuyue put down her hat and said to Su Jin, "A Jin, let's go to the horse market."

The market is about to end now, and the sellers are eager to sell their goods, so they won't charge as high a price as they did at the beginning.

Su Jin was confused. Why go to the horse market to buy cotton cloth?

"A man should learn to ride a horse and go faster than others no matter where he goes."

Seeing that Su Jin hadn't understood what she meant, Jiang Shuyue continued: "For example, if we sell the red ginseng we sell today, if we sell it in the capital, we can get at least double the price, or even more money."

Su Jin touched the silver in his arms: "A horse is not cheap. It can easily cost dozens of taels. We don't have enough money in hand."

"It's okay. Sister brought the money, which should be enough."

"Sister, that's all the dowry you sold off. You still have to support it year after year, so you can't spend your money." Su Jin stopped moving forward.

"We are a family, don't talk about two families. Just a few more trips to the mountain to collect medicine will be enough for us to survive."

Su Jin thought that since he could ride a horse, he could take the medicinal materials to the capital and sell them at a high price. He nodded, turned around and walked towards the horse market.

Walking into the horse market, an unpleasant smell hit us.

Through the curtain, Jiang Shuyue saw several horse dealers chatting together, and more than ten horses standing, tapping their hooves anxiously from time to time.

Jiang Shuyue asked Qiu Ju to look at the mule cart, and she and Su Jin walked over.

The horse dealer glanced at the two men and saw that they were wearing cotton clothes and did not look like people who could afford horses. He turned around and continued talking.

Jiang Shuyue had read in a book that when buying a horse, you have to look at the horse's teeth and hooves, which can tell the horse's age and health.

"Young man, do you want to buy a young horse or an adult horse?" A middle-aged man squatted behind the horse dealers. Seeing Su Jin looking at the horse seriously, he stood up and asked.

Jiang Shuyue opened the curtain and pointed at a thin maroon pony: "This horse is weak and has not been trained. How can it be sold?"

"Girl, do you know a horse?" The horse dealer saw Jiang Shuyue looking at the horse's teeth, and then he knelt down and looked at the horse's hooves carefully.

Jiang Shuyue was noncommittal.

The horse dealer even concluded that these two people must be people who know horses.

He stretched out a hand: "This horse is still underage. I think you are also people who know horses. It is getting late, and I will not say that the price is false. A good adult horse costs ninety taels, so this horse will sell you five Ten taels of silver."

Su Jin was secretly happy that he still had some money left after buying the horse.

He looked at Jiang Shuyue, waiting for her to make up her mind.
