211, house fighting small cannon fodder fourteen

"Do you have anything else to do?" Mrs. Gan asked.

Several people shook their heads, and Mrs. Gan waved her hand, "Then go down. Tomorrow, we will go to Fahua Temple."

"Nanny Wu, when the fifth young lady goes out, please arrange for a few more servants and maids to follow you. Also, go to the warehouse to collect some money and bring it with you." Mrs. Gan didn't want to take care of a concubine, but the Marquis is in the mansion now.

If something happens to the young lady, she won't get better.

"Thank you Madam for your consideration." Jin Ke was blessed again.

Mrs. Gan nodded lightly.

After that, Jin Ke, Zheng Muer and the others left Mrs. Gan's yard and went back to their respective homes.

"Miss, you are not feeling well, why didn't you tell me earlier?" There was no room for Xiaocui to speak in Mrs. Gan's place just now, but now after coming out, she finally couldn't help but ask.

Jin Ke turned around and smiled, "I'm fine. It's just a minor illness. It's nothing to make a fuss about. Remember, don't spread the news about my illness to my aunt's ears, otherwise she will be worried."

Xiaocui also knows what her young lady means.

"Okay, miss, Xiaocui has taken note of it."

"Well, go back and change my clothes. Let's go out. I'll buy medicine. After we're done, let's go for a walk on the street." Jin Ke smiled. Although men are superior to women in this era, the restrictions on women are not so stubborn.

Chastity is taken very seriously, but women are still allowed to walk around in the streets wearing veils.

"Okay!" After saying this, Xiaocui felt a little relieved. She hadn't left the house for a long time.

Back in his yard, Jin Ke first asked Xiaocui to tell Aunt Shen that she was going out. No doubt, Aunt Shen agreed. Jin Ke wore blue clothes and a veil, and brought Zheng Chuner with her.

With all the money saved, he left the house in the Zheng family's carriage.

The carriage staggered all the way out of the Hou Mansion, and soon arrived at the street. There was a lot of people on both sides of the street. Jin Ke opened the curtains and saw the bustling teahouses and restaurants, as well as the dazzling array of stalls selling goods. It seemed that today was still a gathering.

.

The carriage of the Marquis Mansion is very impressive. Even though Zheng Chun'er is just a concubine, she is representing Mingyang Marquis Mansion when she goes out. Mrs. Gan does not dare to give her just a driver to drive the carriage.

Servants were standing on both sides of the carriage holding knives, and maids were also surrounding the carriage. Pedestrians on the road were used to seeing this kind of scenery, and knowing that it was a lady from a wealthy family going out, they all moved out of the way.

"Go directly to the nearest drug store!" Jin Ke said. She was going to buy some medicinal materials to make elixirs. According to Mrs. Gan's appearance, she thought that she was going to go to war with Zheng Mu'er, and she would be involved in it. Jin Ke felt that she had to prepare early.

She can't beat others in a house fight, but she can still protect herself. She needs to prepare some low-level detoxification pills and Qingming pills.

"Yes!" The coachman heard Jin Ke's words, replied respectfully, and began to steer the horse in the direction of the drug store.

Because it was a downtown area, the horses walked very slowly, but the nearest drug store was not far from them. The driver stopped the carriage after a while, and Jin Ke got out of the carriage with Xiao Cui's help.

At the door of the drug store, Jin Ke turned around and said to Xiao Cui and others, "We are all waiting outside. I will be out in a moment."

"yes!"

Xiaocui is not worried that Jin Ke will be in danger. She also knows that this pharmacy has a good reputation and there are big shots behind it, so there will be no robberies.

Jin Ke shook the silver in his hand. Here are the 700 taels that Zheng Chuner saved, and the 300 taels that Mrs. Gan took for her from the warehouse. Now she also has a thousand taels in her hand. I am afraid that many precious medicinal materials are not enough.

, but, she brought her embroidery with her today. If she sells it, she should be able to collect ten thousand taels of silver. In this way, she will have money to solve the current predicament.

After entering the pharmacy, Jin Ke went to the outer room. Seeing that there were many people taking medicine inside, he did not go in. Instead, he turned into the small room behind the pharmacy, which was used for waiting people to rest. There was no one inside at this time, and they were all in front.

It was more convenient for her to queue up.

In the empty rest room, Jin Ke put all the silver into the Lihen hairpin, and took out the box containing the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains from the Lihen hairpin. His eyes flashed, and his fingertips moved slightly. In the blink of an eye, Jin Ke was standing where he was just now.

A silver-haired old woman appeared there, with a kind and amiable face. Her old face made her eyes darker.

"Ahem!" Jin Ke took out the small mirror from the Hou Mansion from the hairpin of Lihen. She was very satisfied with the person inside, touched the old cheek, and Jin Ke turned around and disappeared.

Reappearing, she arrived at the door of an embroidery shop. She was holding a cane tremblingly, holding a box with a picture of mountains and rivers in her arms. Her silver hair shone even more brightly under the sunlight.

The proprietress of the embroidery shop was fiddling with her abacus boredly when she heard a movement at the door. She looked up and saw an old lady with gray hair and ordinary clothes. She came out from behind the counter, came to Jin Ke and asked with a friendly smile, "Old man, are you there?"

What's up?"

Jin Ke said in an old voice, "I'm here to sell embroidery!"

"Selling embroidery?" The landlady was confused for a moment. Her family indeed sells embroidery. "Old man, please come in and sit down first. Let's talk slowly."

Jin Ke nodded and followed her into the inner room. The landlady asked her to sit down, poured a glass of water, and then asked, "I wonder what my mother-in-law wants to sell?"

Jin Ke, an actor, touched the box with reluctance in her eyes, "This is an heirloom of my family. It is said to have been embroidered by my great-great-great-grandmother. Now that it has been passed down to us, it has a history of thousands of years."

, extremely precious, I was originally

I don’t want to sell it. This thing was originally passed on to each daughter-in-law, but my son and daughter-in-law were not lucky enough to die in middle age, leaving only a granddaughter. Now...the granddaughter is getting married, and the family can’t afford a decent dowry.

Going to sell it!"

The landlady didn't expect it to be such a precious thing, and she was looking forward to it, "I wonder, mother-in-law, will I be lucky enough to see it?"

Jin Ke hummed and opened the box. A stream of colorful light came out from the gap in the box. The landlady was surprised. Is this some kind of unique treasure? Why was it still glowing? This made her doubt whether it was really embroidery inside.

Jin Ke opened the box completely, and the true appearance of the embroidery in the box was revealed. She took out the embroidery as if she were cherishing it, and spread it on the table. The scenery inside caught the eye of the landlady, and she couldn't move her eyes away for a long time.

"Mother-in-law, is this...really for sale?" It took her a long time to find her voice.

She has never seen this kind of embroidery method. The important thing is that it seems to be embroidered with ordinary threads. The only advantage is that it is simple and elegant, but it is brilliant and unforgettable.

Jin Ke knew she was satisfied, so she nodded, "Sell!"

This simplicity and elegance was added with a little magic that she had finally mastered, which ensured that the light on it would never go out. If she saw this thing before, she would have wanted it, but now she can do it herself, and secondly, she

What is needed is money!

"How about 50,000 taels of silver, no more." It's not that the landlady intends to trick Jin Ke, but this number is already the most money she can give. After all, she can't make the decision no matter how much it is.

Jin Ke nodded, "Okay!"

The landlady was overjoyed and said, "Then I'll go get money for my mother-in-law."

Then ran back to get the money.

After a while, she came over with fifty thousand taels of silver notes, handed it to Jin Ke, and then solemnly took the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains map from Jin Ke's hand.

"I'm leaving." Jin Ke could no longer hold on to the illusion.
