Ji Jiu's nearly two hundred year old red reishi mushroom was auctioned off by a rich man for twenty thousand taels. Ji Jiu, who didn't expect her to get this much money, looked at the old man incredulously. Duan smiled at Ji Jiu and explained to her that the bidder was the richest person in the Hui Province right now. Ji Jiu understood that twenty thousand taels was probably only a fraction of his money. He was willing to pay such a high price.
Ji Jiu thought of the remaining 14 of her mushrooms, with five or six of the larger ones. Even the flowers are gone. Then wouldn't she get rich just by selling mushrooms? After a long idle dream, Ji Jiu came back to reality, saying that she couldn't do such a thing. If she brought out mushrooms too often, people would definitely get suspicious. Even if she only brought out three mushrooms, there would already be many people looking for them. She still wanted to live a little longer in this life, so Ji Jiu could only put aside the idea of becoming a millionaire for now. In the end, it was best for her to return to her profession.
After sending the item to the successful bidder and receiving the money. Ji Jiu received her share of the auction amounting to a whopping 16,000 taels. Adding to her savings of over three thousand taels, her wealth now increased to nearly 20,000 taels.
Returning from the auction house, Ji Jiu kept walking with her arms folded where she had hidden the large amount of bills. General Duan could only laugh at her childish behavior. It had been a while since he'd seen her like this. Ji Jiu normally acted like a child from time immemorial. Except for food and money, he could see her freeing herself like a child.
Ji Wenting was also afraid that someone would rob his young lady. He was so vigilant all the way back to the inn that the guards who were looking at the two servants could only shake their heads in disbelief. Who knew that Miss Jijiu was the one who did the bidding? In this matter, the old master was so forward. If anyone really dared to rob them, they would probably rather die. Even though Old Master acted like a kind old man to Miss Ji Jiu, to others he still had the same fierce personality as before.
After sending Ji Jiu and Ji Wenting over, General Tuan then sadly passed away. Tomorrow they would be leaving again. He planned to drop her off at the city gate after breakfast as usual. He also reminded the guards about her New Year's gift that he should leave it with Ji Wenting. Which would be the eagle that his grandson had? Used to send many news items He also asked Ji Wenting to take him back with him. He didn't want to miss the news of Nu Ji Jiu's mother at all, so he had to use this rare eagle instead. His family has been generals since their ancestors. There was only one daughter in his generation who became emperor during the previous reign. It was good that his second grandson agreed to inherit his lineage as a general. Otherwise, he would definitely feel guilty towards his ancestors. With teaching for a long time His family didn't have many breeding eagles. They only have a lifespan of a few decades, so now there are only ten of these easy-to-breed eagles. He brought five to the northern border, but they were all secretly killed by the rebels. He still has no regrets. His second grandson only had three. As for his eldest grandson, he only has two. It's good that his ice master allowed him to come. Otherwise, he would definitely quarrel with his grandson.
The next morning, Ji Jiu's four young guards packed their things into the carriage before it was light yet. They also went out to buy food for the two goats who had to travel quite a distance. Good thing these two goats are easy to eat and easy to live. The merchant said that you can also use some horse grass for him to eat. Two of them can eat common vegetables as well. Just be careful not to eat rotten vegetables or rotten grass. Otherwise, they will get sick and die. Ji Fanrong and Ji Zhao Gu were responsible for taking care of their young lady's goats, so they remembered it by heart. Since you want to raise them They will take the best care of you.
After breakfast before leaving the inn General Tuan arrived with his bodyguard as always, while his grandson had already traveled to the capital with his troops yesterday. They had to rush to the capital in secret, dividing their army into several parts. 30 groups of 50 people each had traveled as merchant caravans from the Hui Province two days earlier. His nephew's group would take another 30 separate groups. This time, they disguised themselves as villagers and fled to the capital to find work. Today, only General Tuan's group, who was guarding the border on his grandson's behalf, came to send the ji. Jewel in front of the city gate
General Duan ordered Ji Jiu to take good care of himself. If he had free time, he would return to visit her in the village. Ji Jiu smiled happily at the old man. She didn't mind having another elder who was kind to her. She also said that if there was anything good that she encountered, She would have Brother Wenting bring it for him as well. It was considered that the relationship that the old man had built with her had not been lost.
They had said goodbye for a while, Ji Jiu had to decide to leave before the sun got hot. General Duan could only wave his hand sadly, the cheerful Miss A Yu wasn't around, he must have been quite lonely. As Uncle Yu often asked General Duan about various matters like a curious child, the old man was happy to tell stories of his past experiences to the younger generation. Who had burdened his two grandsons since birth? Therefore, he never had time to tell his two grandsons any good stories. It was only Uncle Yu and Ji Jiu that he talked to.
After not being able to see the carriage that had already left. General Duan took the four guards back to the general's residence to oversee the affairs of the Hui Province after his grandson. There were still many things that Zhao Jinglong had not dealt with. It was because there was a rebellion involved first. The matter of property within the Hui Province, which was abundant, is therefore still pending.
General Tuan is here. So he will handle the matter from now on instead.
Ji Jiu's carriage did not travel as fast as it had come. Because she was worried about the two goats, who couldn't run as fast as her horse. At first, she thought of buying another horse and a goat cart. But Aunt Qiao, who saw how much money she had spent earlier, didn't agree. She said that there was already a donkey cart at home. If I buy another one, what will I use it for? It's wasted for no reason.
Ji Jiu didn't want to displease Aunt Qiao because she was afraid she wouldn't get to eat something delicious. So she reluctantly nodded her head, not to buy timidly. The two carriages and two goats traveled slowly until it was almost time for dinner. Ji Wenting once again took everyone to find a place to stay by the river they had passed on the previous leg. This time because traveling was very slow. It wasn't even close to where they had rested before. Ji Jiu didn't think much of it, instead she just told them to prepare food like they were on a picnic. Ji Ji looked at her two goats. If you continue traveling like this Another week until I get home. But her two goats were probably too tired to breed easily. Animals, if they wanted to breed, For this to happen, they must be physically fit and mentally sound.
