Jumping off the donkey cart, Ji Yuzhu raised his eyes to look at the courtyard gate and the green brick fence, which still had a bit of brand newness, and felt that the white cloth strips floating on it were extremely dazzling.

But after being away for ten days, it seems like a lifetime away.

"Hey, why are you in a daze? Open the door." Jiang Weiyan, who had fastened the donkey cart, slapped him on the back of the head.

Only then did Ji Yuzhu come back to his senses.

The two entered the yard, and first went to the mourning hall to burn incense sticks for Ji and his wife.

Ji Yuzhu remembered the revenge of the big man just now, from sweeping the floor to wiping the tables and chairs, he directed him around.

He was not annoyed at all, he was busy working, and he was disgusted with all kinds of things: "Hey, I don't dare to make the place where I live in the future so big, I will be exhausted after cleaning it once."

"Pull it down. The yard in the county seat is bigger than my house, why don't you clean it?"

"...Didn't you ask Aunt Liu for help? Cough cough, well, when the house gets bigger, I'll find a few servants." Jiang Weiyan glanced at him secretly, "Actually, that's not my yard either. leased."

"Well, I can guess it." Ji Yuzhu said casually, "It's good that I can live for a while, and I'll buy a set in the county when I save enough money."

"Hehe, that's a big deal. You still owe the master 100 taels." Jiang Weiyan couldn't believe it. There was no 300 taels in a courtyard in the county town. How could you get it?If the location is better and the yard is newer, maybe 500 taels will not be able to afford it.

"Underestimate me," Ji Yuzhu bent his arms and gestured a bodybuilder to bask his biceps, "I am a man of great wisdom." He squinted at Jiang Weiyan, "How can ordinary people achieve it?"

"Yes, Brother Wisdom~~~ Are we almost done?"

Ji Yuzhu looked left and right, although not spotless, it was enough.Throwing the wet handkerchief in his hand, there was a beautiful water mark: "It's done! This, this," tapped the mop, wet cloth, and water basin in turn, "put them back to their original positions, and I'm going to pack the clothes."

"Decree!" Jiang Weiyan imitated a woman and bowed.

Ji Yuzhu didn't bother to pay attention to this guy's trickery, and went into the bedroom to tidy up.

There is nothing good to collect clothes. I brought some thin summer shirts to the county before. When I came back this time, I packed some thicker ones.

Wear this dark green belt.

This navy blue one is also often worn, bring it with you.

This one is brown—this is what my father made for him, so that he can wear it while practicing calligraphy, so it won't get dirty easily...

Squeak-!

Ji Yuzhu was startled, and turned to look.

It turned out that Jiang Weiyan opened the window outside.

I saw him resting his hands on the window sill, looking into his bedroom: "Hey, so my brother's bedroom is like this? It's not the same."

Ji Yuzhu was depressed, and rolled his eyes at him: "Could it be that there should be a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right in my brother's bedroom?" He lowered his head and continued to pack his clothes.

"That's not the case. Don't you guys like bright colors? No matter how bad it is, there will be all kinds of decorations. Look at your bedroom, tsk tsk, except for the tables and chairs, there are books. There are so many books, I feel drowsy after reading them." .”

Yes, there are books!

Maybe I will live in the county for a year or two, how can I not bring books! !

Ji Yuzhu raised his head and hooked his fingers towards Jiang Weiyan.

Jiang Weiyan pointed at his nose, wondering: "Me?"

"Come in and help." Throwing him four words, Ji Yuzhu ran out to rummage through the boxes and found several large bamboo and rattan boxes in the side room.

Throwing it to Jiang Weiyan, who was following behind, he waved his hand: "These books, pack them all, and take them away!"

"..."

Call you cheap!Jiang Weiyan cursed secretly in his heart.

Ji Yuzhu stuffed a few more sets of clothes casually, and planned to come to help tidy up the books. After all, they are all his collections, and he feels distressed if they are broken.

Jiang Weiyan stopped him: "Go, since all the books are packed and taken away, pack up all the clothes and take them all away."

Well, it seems to be.

Anyway, no one will wait for him to come back, and he will have to face memories everywhere when he comes back... Let's stay in the county for a while longer.

Then he turned around and opened the cabinet, and pulled out all the clothes inside.

The two of them worked hard for a long time, rested for a while, drank a few sips of the chrysanthemum tea that Ji Yuzhu made early in the morning, and ate a few pieces of bean paste cakes made by Aunt Liu.It wasn't until the sun was high that the two of them piled all kinds of things into the donkey cart.Jiang Weiyan was about to untie the rope for the donkey, Ji Yuzhu thought for a while, greeted him, and walked to the yard next to him.

Seeing this, Jiang Weiyan jumped into the driver's seat of the donkey cart, and pulled up the hem of his clothes to fan himself.

Pushing open the half-covered door, Ji Yuzhu shouted inside: "Grandma, uncle."

"Hey, hey! Is it Yuzhu baby? Come in quickly."

It was Auntie Ji's voice.

Entering the main hall, Ji Yuzhu was stunned for a moment.

The main room was full, the uncle and his wife, brother Yujun's family and Yuru were all there.

He greeted them one by one, and then sat down on the little Maza that Yuru moved over. Maza was leaning against the edge of the pit, and Yuru was sitting next to him on the other side.

"Yuzhu boy, are you feeling better?" Ji Aunai took his hand and looked at him lovingly.

"It's much better, grandma, don't worry."

"That's good, live a good life, if there is anything you can't do, just come to grandma."

"Yeah. Grandma, uncle, I'm here today to say goodbye to you."

"What's going on?" Uncle Ji, who had been calm since he came in, frowned, "Are you going to Fucheng too?"

"Fucheng? No, I want to stay in the county for a while." Turning to Ji Yujun, "Is Brother Yujun going to Fucheng?"

Knowing that he wasn't going to Fucheng with him, Uncle Ji's face looked better.

Ji Yujun glanced at his father and nodded with a smile: "Well, my mentor recommended me to go to Songyuan Academy in Fucheng."

"Congratulations, brother!" Ji Yuzhu was delighted, he knew that Ji Yujun attached great importance to fame and studies, so he was also happy to be recommended this time. "When will you leave?"

"Stay for two more days and leave."

"Then I won't see you off at that time. When you come back, ask someone to send a message to Tonghua Lane in the county, and we will get together again at that time."

Ji Yujun nodded, indicating that he remembered.

"It's nothing, why did you go to live in the county town? Is it the rented house?" Uncle Ji asked.

"Staying at a friend's house temporarily." Ji Yuzhu paused, "It's too deserted to live in the village."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.Nai Ji lowered her head and wiped her tears.

Uncle Ji lowered his voice: "Since you want to go out to live for a while, you can go without worry. I'll look after the yard for you." After a pause, "Since you're going to the county seat, the business over there in Lai Fu Lou...? "

"We don't do this business, I have already bought the formula to them."

"What?!" Uncle Ji stood up abruptly when he heard the words, "Why didn't you make it? Why did you sell the recipe?"

"It cost money at the time. I didn't want to do it, so I sold the recipe."

It was he who came up with the idea at the beginning, and asked my father and father to go to various villages and counties to buy materials, and when they came back, they would grind and process them and sell them to restaurants and inns such as Laifulou in the county.In this way, they don't need to work hard in the fields every day, not to mention the sun and rain, and they are still precarious.

The so-called prescription is just a modern common five-spice formula.

In this era, it is rare to use herbs as seasonings, at least Ji Yuzhu has never seen one.

Choose star anise, cinnamon, clove, pepper, fennel, amomum, cardamom, tangerine peel, dried ginger, licorice and other medicinal materials, according to different proportions and different quantities, you can adjust various flavors, grind them and mix them, that is, all kinds of ingredients that can be used directly Allspice.

Unless you find a doctor who is proficient in distinguishing flavors, no one will be able to distinguish the ingredients.But who would have thought that the mere seasoning was made of medicinal materials.

It was such a simple business, although it made life easier for the family, it ruined the life of my father and father.

Every time he thinks about it, Ji Yuzhu regrets it.

There are so many ways to get rich, why did you choose this one.

When Uncle Ji heard that Fangzi had been sold, he couldn't breathe in heartache: "You, you idiot! This is a long-term business, how can you just sell it? How much money did you sell?"

"Not much, 100 taels!"

"100 taels?" Uncle Ji beat his chest and stamped his feet, "100 taels!! If you don't have money, won't you come to me? Ah? If you don't do it, don't you still have me? Ah? Why did you sell it!"

Aunt Ji next to him hurriedly helped him to carry him.

Ji Yuzhu looked around.

Ji Yujun frowned, Ji's sister-in-law lowered her head to tease her baby, she didn't seem to notice, Ji Yuru was at a loss.

Grandma Ji was still wiping away her tears, but when she saw Da'er's state, she became anxious immediately: "Yuzhu boy, it's a good way to make money, how can you sell it? What will you let the family do in the future?"

Ji Yuzhu's expression seemed to be sarcasm: "At the beginning, my father just came back, and my father's bones were not cold, but after listening to the doctor's words, there is no cure for medicine and stones, and it's just a matter of life, so you refused to pay money to treat my father. I won't sell the prescription. Where can I invite Dr. Lin from the county to make a visit, so that my father lived nearly half a month longer? What's the meaning of making such a crying gesture today?" She curled her lips, "Since it's my prescription, I want to sell it or sell it. If you want to throw it away, of course I have the final say.”

"Your father is dragging such a body, he will die sooner or later, why waste that money?! 100 taels! What a bad thing to do!" Uncle Ji was furious, "You know that such a prescription can bring home every year? More than a hundred taels? If you sell it alive, where are you going to put your family?"

"Since he will die sooner or later, why should uncle care about the money?" Ji Yuzhu sneered, "I won't sell the prescription, so why am I still thinking about this thing that killed my father and father every day?"

"You, you—" Uncle Ji was furious.

Ji Yujun next to him was displeased: "Brother, this is over." It is disrespectful to tell the elders in front of the hall that they will die sooner or later.

Ji Yuzhu ignored him, and continued: "What's more, in the past few years, my father and father have given the family a lot of money. Otherwise, did this [-] acres of fertile land fall from the sky? Just relying on these lands The rent is enough for you to chew."

"You—" Uncle Ji was angry, "Is this your attitude towards elders? Have you read all your books to the stomach?"
