Chapter Fifty-Six: Ji Ji's Ability
85_85797 Outside the donkey cart, Ji Ji finally chuckled, and she said slowly: "Ah Li has a lot of maids around her, why don't you send them there?" ”
This time, almost as soon as her voice fell, Wang Li's voice came from the donkey cart in disappointment, "It turns out that Aunt Ji is unwilling?" I saw that Aunt Ji and Eighteen Lang were getting closer, and I thought you were like brothers and sisters, but that's it? I know, Aunt Ji, please go back. ”
Ji Ji looked at the swaying curtain on the donkey cart and thought, it seems that as soon as she turns around, Wang Li will add fuel to the fact that she ignored the injured Xie Lang...... Just, so what? Xie Lang and the people around Xie Lang have long become friends with him, Wang Li doesn't have to fabricate right and wrong, once she fabricates, she will be looked down upon.
Thinking of this, Ji Ji chuckled, turned around and left, in the donkey cart, Wang Li looked at her back without hesitation, and the hand holding the curtain of the car showed a hidden green tendon!
Xie Lang's injuries are obviously not light, and at the same time, several of his parts are also seriously injured. So, after Wang Li sent two maids to serve Xie Lang, she didn't know what she thought, and in the sad eyes of the other maids, she used three more people to take care of Xie Lang's three seriously injured subordinates.
Next, after finding a small town and inviting a few witches, Xie Lang, whose face was so pale, personally held a requiem ceremony for the guards who died in battle. In the repeated chanting of the witch, at last, the corpses were carried with firewood one by one and burned to ashes.
Whether it is Xie Lang or Langya Wang's subordinates, they are eager to return their partners to their hometowns. But this is impossible, it is now close to May, the sun is very hot, and those corpses will rot in less than three or four days, and everyone can bring them back. It can only be their ashes.
After the requiem ceremony was held, when everyone went on the road again, Wang Li's laughter in the donkey cart was obviously light.
At noon, seeing the main official road that gradually appeared in the field of vision, laughter gradually rose in the convoy, and Ji Ji also thought happily: I have finally entered the main road.
Enter the main official roads. Not only does it mean that there will be more businessmen coming and going. Security has increased dramatically, and along the way, there will be many county towns for people to rest.
A qiē is as Ji Ji expected. As we walked into the evening, a county seat appeared in front of me.
Looking at the county seat from afar, Ji Ji found that the end of the field of vision. It was a crowd of people and a sea of people, and there was an uproar. Those people and cars saw their convoy from afar, and they jumped for joy one by one.
Ji Ji was stunned. She heard Xie Lang talking in the car, "What county is ahead?" In the past two days, because she was worried about Xie Lang, the donkey cart always followed Xie Lang's donkey cart intentionally or unintentionally, so to speak. Xie Lang coughed inside, and she could hear it too.
In the car, the two maids serving Xie Lang had not answered. Sun Fu, who was driving for Ji Ji, had already shouted loudly: "Back to Eighteen Lang, the front is Shaxian." ”
Inside. Xie Lang seemed to chuckle, and after a while, he said, "There is an old friend of mine in Shaxian. After a slight pause, he called again: "Ji Auntie." ”
Ji Auntie? Why did he call me that? This title is obviously a common saying in that small place in Jing County, how did he Xie Eighteen know? Poor puzzled Ji Ji, she didn't know that her name was Ji Auntie, or she called Xie Lang herself after she was drunk that night.
Although she was puzzled, Ji Ji still responded very briskly: "It's here." In a blink of an eye, she asked worriedly, "Does it hurt?" Your voice is a little hoarse, do you want to drink water? ”
Xie Lang in the car seemed to smile again, and after Ji Ji approached, he said softly: "I am too injured to work long distances, there are my old friends in Shaxian, I will recuperate there for a while." You go back to Jiankang with Langya Wang's team first. ”
Ji Ji was stunned, and thought in a blink of an eye: He and Xie Lang are not related, he went to his old friend to recuperate, of course he can't follow with a cheeky face, he can only go with Langya Wang's team.
Thinking of this, she replied sullenly.
Somehow, Xie Lang in the car chuckled when he heard her muffled snort. After a while, he said gently: "You should pay more attention to yourself along the way." ”
Ji Ji heard the gentleness in his tone, and hurriedly responded, "Okay." ”
Hou was outside the gate of Shaxian County, and they were all local clans, but it turned out that someone recognized the banners of the Langya Wang clan and the Chen Jun Xie clan from afar, so they rushed all the way to the county to report the news. Now there are hundreds of people on both sides of the road, including almost all the people with heads and faces in Shaxian County.
After seeing Xie Lang surrounded by several Langjun for a while, he and all the wounded were carried into the city on donkey carts, and saw Langya Wang Li surrounded by a group of sisters-in-law in the middle, and Ji Ji, who was ignored by no one, was a little bored.
At this moment, a maid beside Wang Li came over, "Aunt Ji, my sister-in-law called you to go." ”
"Yes." Ji Ji obediently complied, followed the maidservant, and came to Wang Li's donkey cart.
Wang Li was surrounded by more than a dozen sisters-in-law, and when she saw Ji Ji coming, she bowed her head slightly, then turned her head and introduced to the women: "This is Aunt Ji, although she is a woman, she has a husband's arms." Speaking of this, the middle-aged maidservant behind Wang Li said softly: "Aunt Ji, there are also floods in Shaxian County, my sister-in-law is merciful and decided to take out all the belongings she brought on this trip and distribute them to the people, but I don't know what Aunt Ji wants?" ”
What does she think?
What could she think? Ji Ji looked at the eyes of the dozen sisters-in-law, and at the Langya Wang clan on the side of her upper body, she knew in her heart that she could only break the fortune this time.
Why? Because these scholars and clans are all people who regard money as dung, a person who takes money too seriously and smells of copper, in the eyes of these people, is lowly, and moreover, when Ji Ji rescued Xie Lang, she played the slogan of bringing her family property to do good, if she was reluctant at this time, the previous business would be in vain.
So, Ji Ji smiled without hesitation: "Since it is a good deed, you should do your best." Turning her head, she ordered Sun Fu and the others: "When you arrive in the county, you will go all out to buy grain, and then deliver it to the people with your own hands." ”
"Yes."
Sun Fu and the others had just responded, and Aunt Ji's soft voice came, "Why bother so much?" She turned her head, waved her hand to summon an official from Shaxian County, and said with her head bowed: "I, Langya Wang, and this sister-in-law Ji are willing to do our part for the elders of Shaxian County." There is a so-called saving people, such as fighting fires. In this way, our money is ready-made, and it is all loaded on donkey carts, and you rush to the cart together, and you should save a few lives as soon as the money arrives early! ”
The official was so grateful that he crossed his hands again and again. said with emotion: "My sister-in-law is kind." The sister-in-law's good name should be publicized more by the lower officials. With that, he turned his head and perfunctorily crossed his hand towards Ji Ji. So he took the men and hurriedly moved the money.
Ji Ji and others never thought of this song. Watching the official leave. Seeing his donkey cart and his money being emptied, his faces were really hard to see.
It's just that in a blink of an eye, Ji Ji fell in love with Wang Li. Glancing at the sneer on her face, Ji Ji lowered her head. She blessed Wang Li and said softly: "If the sister-in-law is fine, Auntie will retire." ”
Wang Li raised his eyelids casually and said softly, "Go ahead." ”
She watched the back of Ji Ji leaving. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and when he glanced back at the sisters-in-law of these small families around him, Wang Li waved his hand impatiently. And he commanded them all to disperse.
Back on the donkey cart, the servant woman chuckled and said, "It's still my sister-in-law's eyes." At a glance, it can be seen that the Ji girl is greedy for money! See, when she left just now, her expression stiffened with pain. A servant girl even laughed: "She's okay, the men behind her, all their eyes are red, like, like someone has been stripped of a piece of meat!" "yes, yes, it's funny that those people are going to cry!" "It's no wonder that she, she was originally a small family girl, and she worked hard to get a little money, but my sister-in-law easily said a word, and it was all gone, of course they had to cry." "Hee-hee-hee."
In the light laughter of the maids, Wang Li casually took out a piece of jade pendant, she handed it to the maidservant, and said softly: "After going on the road tomorrow, you will take someone to give this piece of my jade pendant to Aunt Ji cautiously, and then say, in order to thank her for saving her life, I specially gave her my personal belongings." You said to Aunt Ji that if she encounters any difficulties, she can come to me with this jade pendant. ”
As soon as Wang Li's words came out, the maid said happily: "No wonder my sister-in-law gave away all the money in one go just now." It's good to send it out, if you send it out and do a good deed, your sister-in-law will get the beauty of kindness or, if you send it out, we can only take this jade pendant to thank Aunt Ji for saving her life. Well, I'll send it over with great fanfare then, so that the poor and crazy sister-in-law Ji will be sold. "A piece of jade pendant for the life-saving grace of hundreds of people is really cost-effective. I think that after the sister-in-law Ji got this jade pendant, she couldn't sell it, she could only be careful to offer it, as for her to really take this jade pendant to ask for help in the future, she just found an excuse to refuse at that time.
In other words, after Ji Ji returned to the donkey cart, in the eyes of Sun Fu and others who wanted to cry without tears, Ji Ji sighed lightly: "Fortunately, I put three hundred gold in my own donkey cart. ”
In the blink of an eye, she said softly in the listless eyes of Sun Fu and others: "Don't worry, I will be able to earn it back soon." ”
As they spoke, the procession entered the city.
After entering the city, the Langya Wang family was naturally a guest of the major families, and compared to them, Ji Ji and his party were left out in the cold to the extreme.
The night passed in a blink of an eye.
The next day, Xie Lang and other wounded were stayed, and Langya Wang's team set off as usual. After walking for a day, during the dinner in the evening, when Sun Fu and others, who had shrunk a lot of family fortune, were sitting listlessly there, the maidservants beside Wang Li, with four servants and four parts, came over to this side in a mighty way.
Seeing Ji Ji, the maid took the lead and bowed deeply to Ji Ji, only to see her holding Wang Li's jade pendant, and said in a clear voice: "Aunt Ji rescued her with righteousness, my sister-in-law is grateful, she can't repay it, and she is willing to present this piece of close-fitting jade pendant." In the future, if Aunt Ji encounters any difficulties, she can come to Langya Wangfu with this jade pendant, and my sister-in-law will do her best to help. ”
The maid's voice was extremely clear, and for a while, the Langya Wang's subordinates listened to it, and they turned their heads with a smile, and they were all very happy in their hearts.
They originally thought that their sister-in-law would use some money to send Ji Ji like other families dealing with similar things, but they didn't expect their sister-in-law to be so generous, the world said that human debts are the most difficult to repay, and their sister-in-law did not hesitate to make such a promise and owe such a debt in order to be grateful to the life-saving benefactor!
The servant woman said so carefully, and the people around her were so excited, Ji Ji had no choice but to take a step forward and respectfully put away the jade pendant.
Just as she lowered her head and took the jade pendant, the maidservant was slightly owed. She leaned close to Ji Ji's ear, lowered her voice and said sarcastically: "I heard that the money in those cars is already the only money left by Aunt Ji?" It turns out that a person who is poor can be so pitiful. Hey, seeing you so pitiful, I feel distressed. Otherwise, I will return to Jiankang in the future. Let my sister-in-law reward you with a bite to eat? ”
Ji Ji chuckled. "Mom was thinking too much. It's just a little money, how easy is it to earn it back? ”
As soon as Ji Ji's words came out, the maid was stunned. She is middle-aged, has experienced a lot of things in the world, and knows that there is money in this world. If a person without a family background wants to earn a little, it is extremely difficult!
After looking at Ji Ji for a while. The maid laughed, "Then I'll see." With that, she went back with the crowd in a mighty way. When the servant woman got into Wang Li's donkey cart, it didn't take a while. There was a burst of laughter in the donkey cart. That laughter is that those who don't understand can also feel the ridicule in it!
After a night's rest. The team continued its journey.
Walking on the road like this, no matter how much food and lodging people have. Or donkey grass and donkey food, it is a sum of money, not to mention, walking with the people of Langya Wang's family, eating, can't be too simple, sleep, you must sleep in the best restaurant, so, Sun Fu and the others looked at their own three hundred taels of gold, like flowing water.
And whenever Sun Fu and the others showed their bitter faces, or looked at those expensive expenses with some reluctance, on one side, Wang Li's maidservants and maidservants would always chuckle out loud.
After walking for two days, another county town appeared in front of me.
Looking at the outside of the county, the team was still greeted in a mighty manner, and Ji Ji thought: This Langya Wang's signboard is really easy to use.
In the blink of an eye, the convoy entered the county seat in the strong welcome of a group of officials.
took care of Ji Ji, who was left out in the cold, and after bathing, he asked casually, "What county is this?" ”
Sun Fu on one side said: "This is Zhoukou County. ”
Zhoukou County? In the past few days, Ji Ji, who was even dreaming about making money, suddenly stood up.
In the stunned gaze of Sun Fu and the others, she turned around in place a few times and muttered, "Zhoukou County? This county is very familiar. With that, she put her head in her hand and thought about it.
After thinking for a while, Ji Ji suddenly stood up, and she hurriedly shouted, "Uncle Sun! When Sun Fu and the others looked over, Ji Ji's eyes lit up, and she only heard her whisper: "Uncle Sun, I'll give you 200 gold later." You take a few people and find a family surnamed Hou in this county. Tell them that you will exchange 200 gold for their ancestral wooden cart and horse making diagram! ”
Hearing the wooden cart and horse manufacturing diagram, Sun Fu and the others were very excited, and Qin Xiaomu asked in a trembling voice: "Sister-in-law, is it the wooden cart and horse invented by Zhuge Kongming back then?" ”
Ji Ji smiled, she nodded and said, "Yes, and it has been perfected by some craftsmen." ”
Qin Xiaomu said excitedly: "Such a precious thing, can you get two hundred gold?" ”
Ji Ji chuckled, "The most precious thing is only carpenter's craftsmanship. That thing also fell into their hands, and they made it out to buy it, which was easy to cause Haoqiang to look at it and want to buy drawings, and the people in this county knew it, and no one would pay a high price for his family. Only an outsider like me is willing to pay 200 gold to buy a picture. Besides, you can promise that in the future, in this Zhoukou County, they can still build that wooden cart and flow horse to use and buy. ”
Ji Ji's last promise is too precious. You must know that at this time, the people only relied on two legs, coupled with the dangerous road, almost nine out of ten never left the county. Ji Ji promised that they could use it in this county, which is equivalent to saying that he gave them 200 gold!
As Ji Ji expected, the transaction was very smooth, and an hour and a half later, when Sun Fu and the others returned, they already had an extra map of the manufacture of a wooden cart and a flowing horse.
When Ji Ji happily put away the picture, she didn't know that her every move had reached Wang Li's ears.
Hearing that Ji Ji exchanged the remaining 200 gold for a pair of drawings, on one side, the maid smiled and said, "Could it be that Aunt Ji wants to rely on that drawing to turn over?" ”
Wang Li also laughed, she said softly: "It's just a self-talking, I don't know how thick the sky is." I used to think highly of her! She pressed the bronze mirror and said, "It's not early, let's rest." ”
The next day, as usual, the team got up close to noon.
In this way, after walking on the official road for another five days, a county seat appeared in front of me.
Ji Ji lifted the curtain, she looked around, and secretly thought: This Yangzhou is really hilly and mountainous.
There are more hills and mountain roads, which means that the drawing in her hand is easy to sell. In fact, Zhuge Liang invented this wooden car flow horse figure, also called the deer car, later generations also called the wheelbarrow, in fact, the process is not complicated, but thanks to the extremely inconvenient traffic in this era, as well as the years of war, as early as the Three Kingdoms has invented the wheelbarrow, in this era is not commonly used. At least, in Ji Ji's memory, this kind of car is occasionally used, and it is only in the mountainous area of Shudi, as for the Yangzhou area, it is not seen.
Again, when the convoy drove into the county seat, the families of a city came out to greet them.
It's just that Wang Li didn't get out of the car this time, because it rained for three or four days on the way, the ground was muddy, wet and slippery, and it was already very uncomfortable to take the car.
And Ji Ji, as soon as he entered the county, he asked Sun Fu and others to go out to investigate, and in less than half an hour, Sun Fu found out that the largest grain merchant in the county was a family surnamed Hong.
Naturally, the family surnamed Hong was also in the greeting queue just now.
At that moment, Ji Ji asked Sun Fu and others to hold a picture of a wooden cart and a horse that came out of him, and asked Sun Fu to find the patriarch of the Hong family and ask for a price of 200 gold to buy this picture. Ji Ji asked Sun Fu to promise that in this county, she would only buy one picture.
In fact, Ji Ji really has a keen eye in business. This Yangzhou is mountainous and hilly, the traffic is originally very inconvenient, coupled with the rain in this season, the Hong family, the grain collected in the countryside, there are countless can not be transported in time, can only be put mildew.
Because, whether it is a donkey cart or an ox cart, in the rainy season, almost as soon as you walk the mountain road, you will fall into the mud, and the distance traveled by these vehicles in a day is sometimes less than ten miles. Usually the grain is still halfway through and has already been soaked by the rain and has begun to sprout. And those mountain roads in the countryside, donkey carts and ox carts can't go up at all, and they all rely on manpower to carry the burden. At such times, a unicycle that can walk the mountain trails and is not afraid of mud is the only best choice.
Because of these reasons, Ji Xi's wooden cart and horse diagram almost made the Hong clan patriarch tempted as soon as he appeared. Because two hundred gold is not expensive, and he saw with his own eyes that Ji Ji was in the team of the Langya Wang family, so this transaction was easily concluded.
That night, when Wang Li knew that Ji Ji really relied on that picture to earn back the cost, he was taken aback, but this was only to earn back the cost, and Wang Li didn't pay attention to it at all.
It's just that when it came to the second county, the third county, and the fourth county, when Ji Ji was sold one county after another, and because she appeared in the team of the Langya Wang family, those wealthy families not only did not have bad intentions, but also completed the transaction with her happily every time, Wang Li was not happy.
A month and a half later, when their convoy finally arrived at the dock and could go directly to Jiankang by boat, Ji Ji had already relied on the drawings to buy them six times. The 200 gold she invested in at the beginning, in a blink of an eye, became 1,200 gold! When the news reached Wang Li's ears, she, the handmaid, and all the handmaidens were all shocked.
