For dinner, Ji Jiu ordered food to eat in her room for convenience. Tonight, she wanted to quickly get some sleep after traveling hastily earlier. She also took a warm bath that someone had already brought. She was very comfortable, so she wanted to lie down and rest as much as possible.
Aunt Qiao and Uncle Yu, who knew Ji Jiu's personality well, didn't bother her. The mother and son sat in the room eating together as well. The four young men invited each other to sit downstairs and eat to investigate the news of this border town. If your child asks, it won't be difficult to answer.
The next morning, Ji Jiu invited everyone down to have breakfast and wait for General Duan who had arranged for them to be there after breakfast. Her group ordered two tables full. Xiao Er, who had brought the food, was still shocked by the amount of food they ordered. He saw that at the table there was a female adult and two girls. Like this, will they eat it all? But soon his doubts disappeared. When Jiji devoured almost the entire table of food Even though the food wasn't as delicious as Aunt Qiao's, today Ji Jiu had to use a lot of energy to walk. So she hurriedly ate it first.
Shortly after eating, General Duan, who was wearing the clothes she had bought for him, came with his four men. Today they are not disguised. Thus, his formidable aura appeared without any effort.
Ji Jiu greets them. Before asking if they've eaten yet, Knowing that they had already eaten, she hurriedly invited everyone to go for a walk before the sun got hot. Although it will soon be winter. But this border city is not yet very cold. The weather is still hot during the day as usual.
General Duan took Ji Jiu to look at various shops. Yesterday he had finished talking with his grandsons. He left the two grandsons to take care of matters on their own. Since he met Ji Jiu He felt that he had really aged. If there isn't something the grandson needs help with, he won't show up again. He wanted to try living a quiet life like Ji Jiu did.
Ji Jiu looked at the many strange shops and products from the border and became interested. She found that most of the products from the border were made from ore. The prices were almost double that of her city, so Ji Jiu persuaded the four brothers to each choose a sword or sword that they liked. After all, they had arrived here. If we didn't get good things to take home, we would be wasting our trip. As for Aunt Qiao Nang, she also picked out a set of kitchenware that she liked to take home with her. The items at this shop were more refined and sturdier than those in the city. As for her? Of course I had to find her money box, haha.
A woman who is afraid of poverty Need to find a good box or two as a backup.
Ah Yu doesn't like the things in this store very much. She only followed her mother's direction. Ji Jiu knew that Uncle Yu was probably waiting to go to a clothing store or a jewelry store. She had long noticed that Uncle Yu often looked at these stores. Wait to finish purchasing from this store first. Ji Jiu would definitely take Ah Yu to those shops.
In this shop, Ji Jiu paid nearly two hundred taels. She was not stingy in the slightest with necessities. She also got three treasure boxes of three different sizes. As for the four young men, they all chose good quality swords. They already have swords. This time, I would like to choose a sword that is lighter in weight. As for Aunt Qiao, who sees a set of useful kitchen utensils, She had really chosen everything, even though it was a bit expensive, since her young lady wanted her to use it to cook food for her to eat. So she had to choose the best thing for sure.
Ji Jiu ordered Ji Fanrong and Ji Zhao Gu to take the things to the inn and put them away before returning. She didn't want them carrying heavy things around again. General Tuan's men even helped them carry things together. Ji Jiu's group continues at the clothing store. This time, she bought everyone two more sets of clothes each. Clothes here are not expensive any more. Thinking of the five Kang family, she had Aunt Qiao choose two sets of clothes for each of them as well. On New Year's Day, how could they have new clothes to celebrate together?
Aunt Qiao smiled at Ji Jiu and chose clothes according to the size of the entire Kang family. A Yu joyfully chose his own clothes. She is in her prime. The clothes are already a bit smaller. Next year, Uncle Yu will be eight years old. Ji Jiu also chooses clothes for herself. She likes to wear more practical clothes than the young lady clothes that Uncle Yu pointed out to her. Well, she likes to go up the mountain almost every day. If she wore a dress like that, it would be difficult to walk. So she didn't care at all.
Until they finished leaving the clothing store and sent someone to collect them at the inn as usual. The group of women saw that it was almost noon so they found a restaurant to sit and eat. before continuing to walk in the afternoon. They ordered food for the four men who had already put away their things.
After everyone had eaten, Ji Jiu had Ji Wenting go pay and then General Duan would lead the way to the jewelry shop. Since Ji Jiu was reborn here She had never been to a jewelry store even once. This time she needed to enter. Because Aunt Qiao had warned her about the pin that Aunt Qiao would help arrange for this New Year. She herself doesn't know what day she was born. So she always uses New Year's Day as her birthday.
General Duan knew that Aunt Qiao would hold a pin-pin ceremony for Ji Jiu on New Year's Day. He wanted to go too. But he was afraid that the troubles in the capital would not be over yet. If all the rebels were not captured, he would be the one who led the criminals to Miss Jijiu's house. So he secretly chose a hairpin. Give it to her first. If before the new year his grandson takes care of all the matters, it's still not too late for him to leave. After all, he knew her house very well.
Ji Jiu saw the beautiful jewelry and thought of Kang Guihua and Li Hui. She had Aunt Qiao and Uncle Yu help her choose souvenirs for them. As for the young men, Ji Jiu bought them jade pockets and had the shop carve their surnames on the backs.
She also wrote their initials on one side. On the other side was a picture that she had freshly thought of as her pendant family's crest.
The owner of the shop was amazed at the drawing skills with the charcoal pencils that Ji Jiu liked to carry around with her. The picture was of a house with an unfamiliar cameo on the inside. But overall, this picture is really beautiful. The shop owner asked the shop owner to charge the price including the carving for her. Tomorrow evening, she will come to pick up these seven pieces of jade. The shop owner was kind enough to give her a small discount. Because Ji Jiu bought many hair barrettes. Besides those many pairs of earrings and bracelets, he didn't even think about being stingy with this little big customer.
Ji Jiu had spent nearly a thousand taels of money at the jewelry store. But the woman who had been buying valuables from her collection did not change her expression at all. She took out a thousand tael bill of exchange and handed it to the shop owner and received no change back. up to thirty taels
Aunt Qiao was shocked at the price of the jewelry she and her daughter had chosen. At first, she asked Ji Jiu to exchange for something cheaper. But Ji Jiu was stubborn about taking it all. Ji Jiu also reasoned with Aunt Qiao that she wanted to give it to everyone in the house as a New Year's present this year. She wanted them to keep it as her personal property in the future. They would remember that they had been with her before. If one day they go their separate ways and have families, they won't forget her.
Aunt Qiao and her daughter listened to Ji Jiu and almost cried on the spot. Ji Jiu was shocked to see a mother and child suddenly crying again. She could only gently comfort her ashamedly. She said that she was afraid that others would find her abusing people. Aunt Qiao and Uncle Yu could only hold back their tears and thank Ji Jiu for the mother and daughter's many precious jewelry.
