After guarding his parents' first New Year's Day for ten years, Chu Jiu'an stayed steadily for a month before leaving for the small fishing village.

When I get back, I'm going to prepare the first batch of goods.

She first had to send the goods to the warehouse in Chudu, and then the Chudu would transport them to Wu.

Because Chu Jiu knew more about Wu Guo, he was still willing to start with Wu Guo first.

When Chu Jiu and the others came back, the entire small fishing village came alive.

She personally reviewed the goods, just like when Wei Yunju personally watched the harvesting of fruits.

Fresh fish is half-dried compared to dead fish, just looking at the color is different, not to mention the taste.

Chu Jiu's attitude towards everyone is businesslike, and the unqualified fish are directly beaten back, without mercy.

Although some people complain, but in the end, their own things are not good, and it is just a matter of complaining.

No one has a grudge against money, and Chu Jiu's price is very attractive.

The nearby fishing village heard the news and some people came to inquire.

Chu Jiu didn't pick either, as long as the things were okay, they all took them.

"Miss, the car is gone." Pell sent the convoy off and ran back with a smile.

"Hmm." Chu Jiu replied and continued to squat there and pick up the shells.

They had caught the shells themselves, and the flesh was taken out, and the rest of the shells were left in the corner of the yard before they could be disposed of.

Chu Jiu pinched up a few big ones and began to polish them.

These are the jobs at hand for ordinary people, but for Chu Jiu, they were learned purely when they were idle when they were still princesses.

Now that I think about it, I can't remember how many precious jade I grinded.

Her father, queen and mother were used to her, and they never scolded her.

"Is Miss going to polish these things into ornaments?" Shui Er knows her best.

Some of the shells are glowing with colorful pearlescent light, and they are beautiful to make into ornaments.

"Don't you think it's easier to make women's jewelry than to eat? Wu and Wei did not have this material. The main thing is that you don't have to think about mold. Chu Jiu didn't stop talking.

Pei'er didn't know Chu Jiu in this regard, so she could only listen to the two of them and I couldn't interject a word.

Chu Jiu took out the bead flower made by Wei Yunju from his arms, polished it according to the shape, and at night, it was also made.

When you make something yourself, your mind will calm down. Chu Jiu was busy for several hours in a row, and many things were figured out at this time.

"Miss, it's time to eat." Shui'er called out to her softly.

She had been watching Chu Jiu there in a daze for a while.

"Hmm." Chu Jiu got up, went to wash his hands, put down the rolled up skirt, and began to eat slowly.

The life of the small fishing village by the sea is more comfortable than Wei Yunju, Chu Jiu has now handed over the task of collecting things to the village chief, and he is all doing things with Ember on his side.

The first batch of small dried fish was shipped over, and Wei Yunju only replied with three words: "too much salt".

Chu Jiu rolled his eyes at the letter, and then obediently let Pei'er order.

I don't know who is thinking about whom, but there are still contacts after all.

On the first summer day when Chu Jiu left, Wei Yunju sat under a tree to enjoy the shade.

Wu Ke handed over a letter and a package.

Wei Yunju was stunned, stretched out his hand and carefully unwrapped the package.

Inside is a delicately made silver hair crown.

It is inlaid with pearls and polished colored shells, which seems random, but in fact they set off each other and reflect each other.

Chu Jiu gave her his explanation and the meaning was very good, the stars held the moon.

Wei Yunju put the hair crown in front of his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and then brought it to the space at night and put it on the bookcase in front of the soft couch in the courtyard, and he would look at it for a long time every day.

There are many craftsmen who need to make jewelry, Chu Jiu deliberately chose a house in the town, hired craftsmen to do it every day, and she paid the wages.

The business by the sea has been completely handed over to Ember.

Starling's people, she is very relieved. Starlings can't do anything else, but a few people at hand can still figure it out.

When the jewelry workshop makes some finished products, it is time for her to go to Wei to sell goods.

The State of Wei was very strange to Chu Jiu. She only knew it in words and maps, but she had never been there herself.

I heard that the people of Wei are good at fighting, the men are tall and mighty, and the women are not inferior to the men.

The rumors are not credible, but you still have to see for yourself.

Since returning to Chu State, Chu Jiu has gone back to Chu to accompany his parents and brother whenever he has the opportunity.

"No! We disagree. ”

When Chu Jiu said that he was going to Wei, he received unanimous opposition from several people.

The good New Year's atmosphere is gone.

Chu Jiu sat at the table, drinking tea while listening to them say how dangerous Wei was, she couldn't go alone as a woman, and so on.

Only Chu Kuo didn't say anything, and when everyone finished speaking, Chu Kuo reached out and touched the top of Chu Jiu's head, looked at the emperor and said:

"Xiao Jiu should go, we can't stop it. It's better to give her an identity and let her go to trade on behalf of the Chu State, so that it can be safer. ”

The room fell silent, and no one spoke again.

At the beginning of spring, Chu Jiu took people and goods and went directly to the border of Wei.

The Empress of Chu was now on the tower of the city gate, looking at her daughter who was far away, and burst into tears.

"My daughter is older and has her choices. Maybe it's really as the man said back then, the rise and fall of the Chu State depends on the Nine Princesses. Emperor Chu's brows moved slightly, covering his sadness.

"What do you have to carry so much, our Xiao Jiu, we should be happy, just choose a good man as a wife." Empress Chu was not happy.

Emperor Chu didn't speak, only hugged her in his arms and wrapped her tightly with a wide dragon robe.

Not only did the Chu State react violently to Chu Jiu's going to the Wei State, but Wei Yunju also felt ridiculous when he heard the news.

However, he could do nothing but shut himself up in his study and sulk.

The Zhao family, who had just entered the mansion, heard that Wei Yunju hadn't eaten dinner, so he locked himself in the study until late at night, thought about it, and went to the main courtyard with a bowl of ginseng soup.

Although Wei Yunju was cold in front of them, he was not harsh.

At this time, Wu Ke let people in, and he changed his clothes and waited for her in the hall.

"Is there something troubled by you? The concubine made a bowl of ginseng soup for you. ”

The Zhao people are very gentle and not pretentious, unlike others who enter the house with a purpose. As soon as she came in, she refused to round the house, she didn't say what she wanted to guard, and Wei Yunju didn't ask. In this way, the two of them have been well with each other for the past few months.

Compared with several other people, the Zhao family was able to see Wei Yunju more often.

"I don't drink anymore." Wei Yunju waved his hand.

It's enough to get on fire, and I'm drinking some ginseng soup, I'm afraid I'm going to get a boil.

"The concubine doesn't know what the master is thinking, but there is one thing that the concubine understands that since she has chosen this path, even if it is uncomfortable here, she must persevere. Don't say that you can't turn back on this road, and even if you can, no one will still be waiting in place when you walk back. ”

Zhao's voice was tactful and gentle, pointing to his heart. After that, he didn't ask to stay, and went back to his yard directly.

The goose-yellow dress is not bright in the night, but there is a kind of ethereal lightness.

Wei Yunju narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand to summon Wu Ke.
