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

"What are you looking at?"

"How dare you even look at my sister-in-law?"

"Let me tell you, my older brother is really something. He might gouge your eyes out!"

Jin Yanzhi stepped forward, blocking everyone's view of Cheng Qiqi. Back in Kyoto, with the backing of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, Jin Yanzhi was not exactly arrogant, but in front of many people, he was high and mighty!

Today, Jin Yanzhi is dressed in a coarse cloth outfit, looking no different from a countryman, but the wealth and superiority he has been raised with since childhood are innate qualities!

wow~

The people who were just pushing and shoving forward suddenly ran away at lightning speed!

"..."

Seeing that everyone had run away in fright, Jin Yanzhi felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and quickly said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we'll continue selling betel nuts!"

"Betel nuts for sale, three coins each, black tea flavor, five coins each."

Jin Yanzhi's face lit up with a smile again: "Want to buy betel nuts? My sister-in-law's betel nuts are delicious!"

His smile stretched into wrinkles as he asked, "Brother, would you like to buy betel nuts?"

"Brother, eating betel nuts gives me even more energy for work!"

"Our areca nuts, made with Kyoto black tea, taste even better!"

Jin Yanzhi's voice never stopped, and he smiled broadly at everyone he met.

Cheng Qiqi kept wrapping betel nuts and developed a new impression of Jin Yanzhi, from a spoiled young master of the Marquis's mansion before his exile to someone who constantly tried to escape after his exile and was almost beaten to death.

Later, carried on the backs of his brothers from the collateral branches of the Jin family, Jin Yanzhi calmed down. Unlike Lin Huilan and her daughter Jin Xue, Jin Yanzhi seemed to be the first to realize his situation.

Upon arriving at the place of exile, Jin Yanzhi obediently went up the mountain to work, and when he returned home, he chopped and gathered firewood. He had promised to bring him out yesterday, thinking that this spoiled brat might be of some use.

In retrospect, it did seem to have some use.

They can use their power to scare away troublemakers, and they can also humble themselves and mingle with ordinary people selling betel nuts.

"Selling betel nuts, delicious betel nuts, fragrant betel nuts."

Jin Lizhi was initially reserved, but seeing that Jin Yanzhi was already selling betel nuts, he was determined not to fall behind. Having spent a lot of time with the villagers, and with his honest and simple appearance, he quickly got into the swing of things.

Seeing that the money bags on their waists were getting heavier, Cheng Qiqi felt relieved. It seemed that the betel nuts she made tasted pretty good!

The brothers Jin Lizhi and Jin Yanzhi, one on each side, carried baskets in one hand and sold betel nuts on the other.

Cheng Qiqi quickly wrapped the betel nuts, and gradually people came to buy them.

"Take the money."

Cheng Qiqi turned around and glanced at Hei Tu, who was radiating coldness, and said.

Hei Tu was staring intently at everyone who came to buy betel nuts when he suddenly heard Cheng Qiqi's words. His hands moved faster than his brain, and he reached out to take the three coins.

"The three-cent betel nuts are on the left, and the black tea flavored ones are on the right."

Cheng Qiqi deftly wrapped betel nuts in her hands, and a small, bright green triangular bag slowly took shape on her slender fingers. Even without the betel nuts, watching her wrap them was a pleasure.

Soon, people started coming to her place to buy betel nuts.

People in Lingnan love to eat areca nuts, and Cheng Qiqi's business is booming because she has added a new flavor of areca nuts with black tea.

Jin Yanzhi's intimidating words, coupled with the presence of Heitu, a tall man exuding a chilling aura, prevented anyone from causing trouble.

The table piled high with betel nuts slowly turned into jingling copper coins.

A smile appeared on Cheng Qiqi's lips. Jin Mozhi, who had just received the money, caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye. He paused for a moment, then quickly turned his head away.

……

"What's going on? Areca nuts aren't selling well today?"

Sister-in-law Agui's basket was piled high with betel nuts. Usually, this would be the busiest time for business, but why is there no one here today?

"Sister-in-law Gui doesn't know yet, but today a young woman came to the dock with three men selling betel nuts. They're even tea-flavored, five coins a serving, and everyone's scrambling to buy them."

"The betel nuts that cost three cents a serving taste... even better."

A man walked over while chewing a betel nut, looked at Sister Gui and said, "Sister Gui, from now on, I'll be buying betel nuts from somewhere else."

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Zhao. Here's some fruit for you."

As she spoke, Sister Gui handed over a few betel nuts, then told people to pack up their stall and head to the pier.

"I've never tried betel nuts with black tea flavor before."

"I heard it's black tea from Kyoto, no wonder it smells so good."

"Five coins is a bit expensive."

"Brother, if we carry a few more bags, we'll save some money, right?"

Similar words reached Sister Gui's ears one by one, and her eyes turned cold. She had been selling betel nuts for so many years, and this was not the first time her business had been taken away!

"Is it her?"

When Sister-in-law Gui saw Cheng Qiqi sitting on the stool selling betel nuts, she recognized her at a glance. She was fair-skinned and delicate. She said, "Little Tiger, go and find out who they are."

"Mother, I'll go right now."

Little Tiger was quick-witted and immediately went to inquire. Soon, he found out and said, "Mother, they are prisoners exiled from the capital."

Prisoner?

Sister-in-law Gui curled her lips into a cold smile and whispered a few words in Xiao Huzi's ear. Xiao Huzi nodded repeatedly and, taking advantage of his small size, quickly ran away.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sold out!"

Jin Yanzhi's voice was filled with excitement as he carried the empty basket, and even his face was flushed. He untied the heavy money bag from his waist.

The sound of copper coins clinking together is pleasant and melodious!

"good."

Cheng Qiqi accepted the small betel nut with both hands. She never expected that it could be exchanged for so many copper coins.

Cheng Qiqi carefully placed the money in the cloth bag that her mother had specially sewn for her, her joy barely concealed.

A thought flashed through Jin Mozhi's mind: She likes money!

"Sister-in-law, I still have some left. I'll go sell some more."

Jin Lizhi still had a few items left to sell, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"That's pretty good too. Keep up the good work. We've already succeeded today," Cheng Qiqi encouraged. Whether it was Jin Lizhi or Jin Yanzhi, the fact that they were willing to humble themselves and sell things today was already a victory.

Jin Yanzhi took the basket and said, "I'll help you sell them!"

Jin Yanzhi took the basket. Just thinking about how his father would praise him when he got back, and maybe even reward him with a piece of meat, meant that he, Jin Yanzhi, would never have to cut camphor wood again!

Jin Yanzhi touched the scabbed wound on his palm and became even more enthusiastic about promoting betel nuts.

With a "snap".

Jin Yanzhi was selling betel nuts when his basket was violently knocked to the ground.

"Who gave you permission to sell betel nuts here?"

A man dressed as a constable walked over, gripping a dagger at his waist, and shouted loudly.
