There was no more trouble, Ji Wan went to close the door, then straightened the slap he hit, and Ji Rong came over silently to help her sister sweep the floor.

Zhou looked at the busy sisters and was a little stunned.

Ji Heng gradually stopped crying, walked to Ji Wan, who was picking up sweet potatoes in front of the stove, and handed her the front leg of the rabbit that she had been holding in her hand.

"Second sister."

Ji Wan's eyes were slightly hot, she squatted down and wiped the tears from her face clean, and said softly: "Second sister doesn't eat it, Ah Heng will eat it."

Ji Rong's nose was slightly sour, so he squatted down.

"Aheng is still young, you have to eat more to grow up."

Ji Heng looked at the two sisters, then looked at the front legs of the rabbit in his hand, nodded, and said angrily: "When Ah Heng grows up, help his sister beat up the bad guy."

Zhou finally couldn't help but shed tears.

She was useless. Not only could she not protect her children, she also repeatedly made her daughter wronged and almost snatched away from her bite.

I turned around and entered the house, and when I came out again, I had a small red cloth bag in my hand.

"Awan."

She had red eyes and handed the cloth bag to her eldest daughter, "All the money in the family is here, a total of eight taels and one hundred and thirty cents, you can keep it."

Ji Wan was stunned.

"mother?"

Ji Rong and Ji Heng also looked at their mothers.

Zhou lowered his head, "This morning, Qian from the second house of Zhao's family came to sit for a while. I heard what she said and wanted to borrow money from me, but I didn't say it clearly."

Zhao Cheng, Lizheng, had two half-brothers, and they had a bad relationship with each other, so they separated the family in the early years. They built earthen walls to separate each other and did not disturb each other. Qian was smart and didn't lend them clearly. He just envied and sighed inadvertently, and he talked about the difficulties in his family inadvertently. He was sure that Zhou was soft-hearted and took the initiative to pay. However, Zhou had received a daughter's advice before, but he would not give up. But seeing that Qian was like that, he would definitely not give up and would not be able to cry again one day. By then, Zhou could not withstand the pressure, and he might actually lend her the money.

Today, Liu came to grab the hare that his daughter had worked hard to call, and he had to do it. This was a lesson for Zhou. Once he let go, others would come to borrow money in the future, but they would not be able to borrow money if they didn't.

So she simply kept all the money for her daughter.

Ji Wan was silent for a while, took the money over, and returned the fraction of 130 to her.

"Mom, don't sell needles and threads in the future, which will hurt your eyes. I will work hard to make money to support the whole family. When I sell ginseng tomorrow, we will push the thatched hut on the north slope to build a new house, so that it will save Aunt San and others from always causing trouble."

Zhou was silent for a while and nodded.

"good."

Ji Wan's face only showed a smile. She was afraid that her mother would not spend money to build a house for free, so she lived here and was angry all day long.

Ji Rong blinked and said happily: "Sister, have you dug up ginseng?"

"Um."

Ji Wan touched her sister's head, looked at her younger brother who ate two bites of rabbit meat and bites a bite of roasted sweet potatoes, and swore in her heart that she must make her family rich.

The next day, she drove the ox cart to the town herself. She also took two people on the way and collected a fare of two cents. She walked into the largest pharmacy in the town, Dejitang.

"Little girl, are you buying medicine?"

The guy looked like a teenager and looked at Ji Wan up and down, asking tentatively.

People in the world judge people by their appearance. If they don’t dress well, it’s normal for the guy to suspect that they don’t have money. Ji Wan was not angry, but said politely: “Is your shopkeeper here? I have a rare medicinal material, I wonder if your store will collect it.”

At this time, an old man in gray in his fifties lifted the blue curtain and walked out. The guy immediately met him and whispered a few words. The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Wan, "Girl, do you want to sell medicinal materials?"

Ji Wan nodded and said, "Are you the shopkeeper?"

The old man smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Ji Wan took out the ginseng wrapped in cloth from her arms, "Uncle Shopkeeper, this is what I dug out from the mountains. Does your store collect it? If you don't, I will go to other pharmacies."

The shopkeeper looked surprised and happy, and hurriedly said, "Cake it, of course."

He stroked his gray-white beard and smiled and said, "Girl, how much do you plan to sell for it?"

Ji Wan smiled, "You are an expert, so let's make a price. If it's right, I'll sell it. If it's not right, I'll ask other companies."

The shopkeeper was surprised again. He didn't expect that a little girl, she, was so smart. After thinking about it, he said, "Twenty taels, how about it?"

Ji Wan raised her eyebrows and knew that he must have reserved something, so she said, "It seems that you didn't buy it sincerely. Since that's the case, I'd better go and ask other pharmacies."

As he said that, he wanted to put away the ginseng.

The shopkeeper's face changed and he hurriedly said, "Wait."

Ji Wan paused, her face calmly, "Is there anything else you have?"

The shopkeeper saw that she was not easy to fool, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Thirty taels!"

Ji Wan shook her head and stretched out her five fingers, "The price is fifty taels at a time. If you want it, I will keep this ginseng. If it doesn't work..."

Before she finished speaking, the shopkeeper understood and smiled bitterly: "Okay, fifty taels are fifty taels, I bought it."

Ji Wan then stopped.

**

While Ji Wan was selling ginseng, Lu Feili was listening to his subordinates’ reports at the North Military Camp 300 miles away.

"Criminal, my subordinates have investigated it clearly. The mountain you accidentally entered that day is called Xiushan. There is only one village at the foot of the mountain, called Yicun. In the past twenty years, a scholar was born, named Ji and Ji Qing. He is indeed a native of Yicun. He saved an old boy by chance when he was young and learned to read since childhood. Later, he married his wife and entered the academy with his wife's dowry. He passed the exam three years ago, and died of illness before taking the provincial examination the next year. He has two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter Ji Wan is twelve years old this year, the second daughter Ji Rong is 10 years old this year, and the younger son Ji Heng is 3 years old this year."

Lu Feili thought about something.

The little girl is thin, weak and short. She looks like she is just in her teens. I think she is Ji Qing's second daughter Ji Rong. But since her elder sister is here, why are you going up the mountain to play wild game alone?

"Criminal..." Lu Ming hesitated and said, "I also found out that Ji Qing's wife, Zhou, was not from Yi Village."

"Um?"

Lu Feili's thoughts turned around and stared at him.

Lu Ming said: "The Zhou family came to Yi Village 14 years ago, but her original hometown was not recorded, and it seemed that she had been deliberately erased. Because this term was appointed as the magistrate of Deng County seven years ago, he didn't know the origin of Zhou family. However, there was a record in the county government office. Before she married Ji Qing, she spent 120 taels to buy 30 acres of land. The subordinates went to the government office and found out that the Zhou family was originally a person in the capital. As for how they lived in this remote place, it is unknown."

More than one hundred taels of silver can be considered a huge amount of property for ordinary people. From this we can see that the Zhou family has a good family background. If it were just the daughter of an ordinary wealthy businessman, it would be impossible to have the ability to erase their past.

There is only one possibility. The Zhou family came from an official family and had a low official position. Every year, the population and household registration changes in various places must be reported to the Ministry of Revenue. In other words, the Zhou family's mother family either had a good relationship with the Minister of Revenue, or the official position was higher than that of the Ministry of Revenue.

"A person in the capital, Zhou family."

Lu Feili smiled slowly, "Old Master Zhou, it seems that he hasn't retired yet?"

Lu Ming was stunned, "The prince means..."

Lu Feili smiled without saying a word, then handed him a letter, "Go back to the capital with a quick whip."

"yes."
