Exiled to Lingnan, the Crown Prince's wife raises children, cultivates the land, and leads the

"Everyone can reach out and take a look."

Marquis Zhongyong stretched out his bloodied hand and said, "Whether it's us cutting down camphor trees or the women pounding rice and grinding flour, it's all hard work. If we still make a fuss when we get home, we might as well give up on living like this!"

"I'm making this clear today: if the Jin family can't unite behind closed doors, outsiders will bully us to death. You want to live peacefully in this place of exile, or be bullied one by one? You'd better think it over!"

Marquis Zhongyong saw it clearly: when Lin Huilan and her daughter started arguing, the eldest, third, and fourth sons' families all tacitly agreed.

"Second brother, don't worry, we'll all listen to you." Old Master Jin was the first to speak up. He wasn't very bright, and if it weren't for his cousin, Marquis Zhongyong, they would still be farming in the countryside!

"Second Brother, me too, we'll listen to you," said Third Master Jin and Fourth Master Jin.

Cheng Qiqi said, "Father, I went to the county with Shenglan today. Shenglan hasn't had her pulse checked since she got pregnant, but the doctor checked her today and confirmed that she is indeed pregnant. Apart from needing some supplements, there's nothing seriously wrong."

The Jin family looked at Gao Shenglan with joy. With the pregnancy confirmed and the baby healthy, they felt hopeful for the future.

"I got this medicine from the pharmacy today."

Cheng Qiqi took out the prepared medicinal herbs from the cloth bag and handed them over: "Grind them into powder, apply them to the wound, wrap it with cloth, and it will scab over quickly tomorrow."

"Good, these are all good things." Marquis Zhongyong looked at the medicine powder and praised Cheng Qiqi for her thoughtfulness.

The members of the collateral branches of the Jin family lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Gao Shenglan wondered: When did my sister-in-law get the medicine? Was it when she went to see a doctor?

"I even used a calligraphy brush to exchange for five pecks of rice."

Cheng Qiqi didn't try to hide anything, saying, "In the county rice shops, unpolished rice costs twenty coins a liter, and refined rice costs thirty-five coins a liter. A writing brush can be exchanged for five dou of rice, which is a great deal."

One dou is ten sheng, five dou of rice is fifty sheng, which is equivalent to exchanging a pen for a thousand wen.

"Moreover, I also traded a calligraphy brush for five bushels of grain." As soon as Cheng Qiqi finished speaking, everyone was instantly shocked!

"Now, people are probably waiting at the village entrance, and it will be hard for Dad and everyone else to push the cart to get the grain."

Everyone was stunned by Cheng Qiqi's string of words.

"Is grain really that expensive in Lingnan?"

Jin Run subconsciously glanced at his wife, Gao Shenglan.

"It's really expensive. The brown rice doesn't look good at all. It costs twenty coins a liter. The old rice is cheaper, but it still costs ten coins a liter. However, the old rice looks like it's about to get moldy."

Gao Shenglan thought about the rice she saw at the rice shop. If she weren't really broke, she really wouldn't want to eat stale rice.

"Sister-in-law, will that boy named Jiang Feng really bring rice?"

Gao Shenglan had always been suspicious.

"meeting."

Cheng Qiqi nodded firmly; she was never wrong in her judgment of people!

"Here, apply some medicine, hurry up and go."

Marquis Zhongyong was holding the medicine powder, preparing to apply it, when Liu Suyi took the powder from him and carefully applied it to him, saying, "It's not easy for Qiqi, a woman, to go to the county with Shenglan to buy medicine and food."

Liu Suyi was afraid that the Marquis of Zhongyong would have a problem with Cheng Qiqi, so she specifically talked about how difficult things were for Cheng Qiqi.

"Qiqi is a capable person."

Marquis Zhongyong thought: His son was hiding his identity and was not exiled, but he was in danger every day. If he could not take good care of Qiqi and Sui'an and let him have no worries, he would be unworthy of being a father.

Village entrance.

After the Jin family finished applying medicine and bandaging their hands, they excitedly ran to the village entrance to wait for the harvest, and waited and waited...

But I haven't seen anyone. Could it be that... they took the pen but didn't give us any food?

Everyone had their doubts, but no one dared to say anything!

After all, the previous incident involving Lin Huilan had made the Marquis particularly angry.

The Jin family.

Smoke curled from the chimney as Cheng Qiqi prepared a thick sweet potato porridge. Looking at Liu Suyi peering out the door, she thought: She must have chosen the right person.

"Qiqi, don't worry. It's okay if they don't send any food. We didn't spend any money anyway."

Liu Suyi turned around and saw Cheng Qiqi's thoughtful expression. She quickly comforted her, saying, "Qiqi, I didn't expect you to have a pen with you."

"It's time for An'an to start her education, so I brought her along specially."

Cheng Qiqi smiled and explained, "Mother, I asked the doctor about Grandmother's health today. The doctor said that he needs to take Grandmother's pulse in person before he can prescribe any medicine."

"Ugh."

Mentioning the old lady, Liu Suyi sighed and fell silent. The old lady's health had always been poor. After learning of Mo'er's death, the old lady was heartbroken and fell seriously ill.

Along the way, they took good care of her, but the old lady grew thinner and thinner, relying entirely on drinking some porridge every day to keep her alive.

"Today, I ran into Hei Tu, a former subordinate of the Crown Prince. He said he would invite a doctor over tonight to treat my grandmother."

Cheng Qiqi whispered that Gao Shenglan was right beside her at the time, and Heitu had just whispered a sentence to her as he passed by.

His crisp breath and deep voice always created an indescribable sense of disconnect between Cheng Qiqi and his bearded face.

"Great, that's wonderful."

Upon hearing this, Liu Suyi was very excited, and then asked astutely, "Did you run into some trouble in the county?"

Otherwise, how could someone who has been hiding in the shadows suddenly appear?

Black Earth, when did Mo'er get someone like that by her side?

"Mother, we just ran into a few blind fools."

Cheng Qiqi spoke vaguely, not expecting Liu Suyi to be so perceptive. Suddenly, Jin Sui'an, who was playing by counting ants at the door, exclaimed excitedly, "Mom, Grandma, Grandpa and the others are back! They've brought so many things!"

"Um?"

Liu Suyi rushed to the door.

Cheng Qiqi followed them and saw the Jin family pushing the grain back happily. Cheng Qiqi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sure enough, she hadn't misjudged them!

Five dou of rice is about sixty jin, but this time, the Jin family presented it as if it were six hundred jin, and everyone was beaming with joy!

what.

Cheng Qiqi looked closely and saw that the young Jiang Feng was also there.

Accompanying them was another man, who was thin and looked as if he could be blown away by the wind, like a scholar who was too weak to even kill a chicken!

"Sister Cheng."

Jiang Feng was overjoyed to see Cheng Qiqi and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my older brother and I came to deliver goods. We were afraid of being seen by others, so we waited until dark to come. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's alright."

Cheng Qiqi smiled and said, "As long as the food is delivered, that's fine!"

"Sister Cheng, this is my older brother, Jiang Xing. He's incredibly smart in his studies!" Jiang Feng's bright eyes sparkled as he introduced his older brother.

"Young Master Jiang, you said you can still exchange for grain?" Marquis Zhongyong looked at Jiang Xing. When they received the grain at the village entrance, they found that there was half a liter of extra rice. When they heard Jiang Xing say that they could exchange for more grain, Marquis Zhongyong immediately brought them back!
