After the system ran, I took off with my family
Chapter 239: Lotus Seeds of Companion Lotus
"I don't agree, no matter what!"
"Brother, we had already discussed this before we came here. When we get to Jin'an Prefecture, we will sell the furs we brought from the north, and then buy some tea and porcelain to sell back in the north.
Now you want to use the money you earned from selling furs to go to the jade market and learn how to gamble on jade stones. Aren’t you fooling around?
Besides, nine out of ten times we lose in gambling. If we lose the money, how can we explain to Dad?"
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, second brother, what unlucky words are you saying? How do you know we will lose?"
In the corner of the lobby of Yunlai Inn, two tall and strong men who looked to be in their early thirties were arguing in low voices, causing the guests around them to turn their heads to look.
The younger of the two, the honest and loyal man was still trying to persuade him earnestly: "Brother, gambling on stones is not something that people like us can touch. Isn't it better for us to just do business honestly?"
"Second brother, what do you know? Brother Zhao said that he brought a very powerful master this time, who can tell at a glance whether it is good material.
When the time comes, we can ask the master to help us pick out some good materials. If we find some good quality jadeite, we will make a fortune!"
The older man became more and more excited as he spoke, greed evident in his eyes.
"Brother, we just met the Brother Zhao you mentioned. We don't know his background. How do you know that his words are credible? What if..."
"Alright! I'm your big brother! You have to listen to me no matter what you say! That's it!"
The man slammed the table, turned around and went upstairs with an unhappy look on his face.
"Brother..."
The slightly younger man called out a few times weakly, then sat down dejectedly and looked at the table worriedly.
"Gamble on stones?"
Lin Shuyue raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect that there was a jade shop in Jin'an Prefecture.
In her previous life, when she was lurking beside that man, she had followed him to a certain place for a period of time and had also seen others gambling on stones.
As the saying goes, "One knife can make you poor, another knife can make you rich." She has seen many people who lost their fortunes and families due to their addiction to gambling on stones. Of course, she has also seen some lucky people who became rich overnight.
However, since this is a rare opportunity for her to come out, she could go and see this ancient jade market.
"Young...Master, this gambling stone..."
Qinghe was a careful person and could see at a glance the eagerness in her young lady's eyes and eyebrows.
Her background was better than Qingzhi's, and she knew more than Qingzhi. She knew very well how great an impact gambling on stones would have on people. Therefore, when she saw that the young lady had such an idea, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Don't worry, I know what I am doing and I won't do anything rash." Lin Shuyue knew what the little girl was worried about and comforted her.
Qingzhi was a little confused when she heard the two people's incoherent conversation, but there were so many people in the lobby that she didn't dare to ask too much.
Qingsheng on the side understood what his young lady and Qinghe were up to, but he was not worried. In his heart, his young lady was like a fairy, so how could she be dazzled by these mundane things?
After dinner, Lin Shuyue asked Qingsheng to ask the shopkeeper what fun things there were in Jin'an Prefecture, and to find out the location of the Jade Market. Then she took the two little girls back to the guest room.
She never had the habit of having anyone keep watch at night. After sending the two little girls back to their rooms to rest, she locked the door from the inside and slipped into the space.
"Sister, you're here!"
As soon as Xue Bao, who was playing with Xiao Huihui in the space, saw Lin Shuyue, he flew into her arms with a "whoosh". His furry little head rubbed gently in her arms, and he said softly, "Sister, Xue Bao misses you so much. You haven't come to see Xue Bao for a few days..."
Seeing this, Little Huihui was not to be outdone. He jumped onto her shoulders with his short legs and rubbed her neck with his big fluffy and soft tail, making her so itchy that she couldn't help but shrink her neck.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I haven't come to see you guys these past few days. By the way, where's Weifeng?"
Lin Shuyue looked around but did not see the majestic figure.
"Sister, I forgot to tell you that the companion lotus in the small pond grew lotus seeds yesterday. Weifeng was greedy, so he ate one, and then fell asleep." Xue Bao raised his head from his arms and pointed in the direction of the small pond.
"What? Is Weifeng okay?" Lin Shuyue was shocked and used her lightness skills to fly towards the small pond.
"Sister, don't worry. I looked carefully and Weifeng is fine. It must have been unable to withstand the power of the lotus seeds and fell asleep. But I can't remember what the lotus seeds are used for." Xue Bao said in annoyance as he looked at the lotus.
Lin Shuyue quickly walked over to Weifeng who was sleeping beside the small pond and checked him carefully. Seeing that Weifeng did not look in pain, she felt relieved and turned to look at the lotus in the small pond.
After looking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out what was going on. She could only tell Xue Bao and Xiao Huihui not to eat the lotus seeds in the lotus pistil for the time being, and to wait until Weifeng woke up to check on its condition.
After giving the instructions, she took out a jade bottle from the house and picked the grown lotus seeds one by one and put them into the bottle.
After finishing all this, she went to the orchard and medicinal garden and put the ripe fruits and medicinal herbs that had reached their due date on the shelves in the open space of the thatched hut.
Perhaps it was the effect of the spiritual spring water, the fruit trees, rice and wheat grew very fast.
This is even more true for fruit trees. Just a few days after the fruits are picked, the branches begin to bloom and bear fruit.
After finishing her work, she returned to the thatched hut and put the things on the shelf in order.
The thatched hut had already been full, so she built a number of shelves and placed them in the open space in front of the house. Now most of the shelves in the open space were filled with fruits, vegetables, grains and medicinal herbs.
"It seems like I have to sell some of them quickly, or there won't be enough space."
Lin Shuyue murmured to himself, then scooped a bucket of spiritual spring water and came to the old tree in front of the house.
"Old tree, old tree, when will your fruit grow and mature? It's been four months, and it's only grown to the size of a lotus seed. Are you trying to learn from Nezha? It takes three years to mature."
She poured spiritual spring water around the tree roots, muttering to herself.
This old tree started to bear fruit four months ago. She was so excited when she discovered it that she couldn't sleep.
But who would have thought that after four months, the fruit of this old tree has only grown a little bit, and it will take a long time to wait for it to mature.
If you ask her why she was so anxious, it was because she was eager to know what effects this fruit had.
When the flowers of this old tree fell before, she spread a layer of oil paper under the tree and collected the fallen flowers intact.
Because the flower looked really special, she was really curious, so she grabbed a handful of flowers and soaked them in water.
After taking a sip bravely, she was stunned on the spot, because she was shocked to find that after drinking the water, there was a trace of mysterious power flowing through her meridians and finally gathered in her dantian.
But she didn't know what that power was, nor did she know how to use it.
