Traveling through ancient times.

However, even if Jiang Yizhou now holds the indentures of the servants in the house, he still needs someone to do the work.

Otherwise, it's like you are holding a promissory note of millions of dollars, but you are locked in a room by the other party. What's the point of holding the promissory note? !

Alas, no matter what I say, I am still weak, have no one to rely on, and am all alone.

The most urgent thing is to get food first and restore your strength as soon as possible, putting everything else aside.

His current half-dead state is probably due to hunger. As long as he is well fed and well-drinking, his strength and stamina will at least recover 30% to 40%, and his life force will no longer decrease.

As for getting medicine, it is not so important: not only is it very expensive, but it also requires boiling the medicine, which makes too much noise and attracts too much attention.

What if someone took advantage of the situation and added some stuff in it... Jiang Yizhou didn't think he was mean, but the original owner's memory was too painful.

As long as her strength is restored, she will be able to move freely and do good deeds.

Merit is the basis for her to turn things around in this world!

Jiang Yizhou thought about it and decided that if he wanted to survive and develop, he must have someone trustworthy and available around him.

Yun Xin can be used and trusted, but the prerequisite is that she must not be allowed to tell Ning Jianren anything that happens here.

Otherwise, he would have suspected something, and with his patient and cruel nature, he would have forced himself to "die of illness".

Jiang Yizhou ordered: "Xin'er, go and close the door. I have something very important to tell you."

Yun Xin was still digesting what the young lady had just said. How dare those servants openly stop her? They even snatched the things she bought for the young lady? This was outrageous.

She responded, wiped the tears from her face, walked quickly over, closed the door, bolted it, and returned to the bed.

"Miss……?"

"You must take to heart what I am going to say next, and don't tell anyone. Remember, no one."

Seeing the young lady's unusually solemn expression, Yun Xin also became serious: "I swear, I will never tell anyone."

"Okay, remember, from now on, you must not have any conflicts with anyone in this house, and you must not argue with anyone for me."

Yun Xin's tears fell and she nodded: "Yes, Miss, I understand."

"Third, and most importantly, you must not tell anyone else what happened in my room, especially my son-in-law. No matter how he asks, you must not tell him about my situation. Do you understand?"

"Miss, why? Your uncle still cares about you very much. When I left this morning, I heard him tell someone to take good care of you."

Jiang Yizhou sneered when he heard this. This kind of face-saving trick is okay to fool a child, but to fool her? Haha.

Jiang Yizhou was angry: "Did you listen to what I said? If you can't do it, you can leave now."

"No, miss, I heard it, and I know what to do. I will never tell anyone about this, not even my uncle."

Jiang Yizhou nodded, and then asked Yunxin to pawn the few remaining jewelry of the original owner and exchange them for food to bring back.

Yun Xin wiped her tears and hesitated, "Miss, these are the only things you have left. If you pawn them all..." You won't even have a single pearl or jade on your head, how can you be the mistress of a house?

Jiang Yizhou: "These are all external things. It won't be too late to buy them later when we have more."

Yun Xin wanted to say something, but when she thought about the time when she went to the accounting office to withdraw money and was harassed by housekeeper Jiang, she didn't say anything.

He wrapped it in a cloth, stuffed it into his underwear, and went out.

Jiang Yizhou looked at Yunxin's back as she left, still feeling a little worried.

He thought of something and struggled to sit up from the bed. After adjusting to his weak body, he lifted the mattress and punched one of the partitions.

There was a cavity under the partition, inside which was a palm-sized purple-red lacquer box.

Jiang Yizhou took out the box and opened it carefully. Sure enough, there was a vermilion coral hairpin inside.

Her body trembled slightly. The original owner's memory was still reliable.

According to the original owner's memory, this was given to her by her mother before she died. She put it in her sleeve pocket at that time and no one knew about it.

Jiang Yizhou didn't really understand the ins and outs of it before, but from the information left by the original owner, it seemed that there were very few corals made into jewelry in this era, and this one was of excellent quality, worth at least a hundred taels of silver.

The monthly living expenses for an average family of five here are about one or two taels of silver. One hundred taels is enough for the family to live on for nearly ten years.

This shows the value of this hairpin.

This is Jiang Yizhou's real final assets.

She didn't tell Yunxin because she was afraid that even if she reminded her again and again, this girl would still be fooled by Ning Jianren's words and tell her everything.

After all, Ning Jianren was a scholar, and scholars were treated very kindly in this era. Moreover, the fact that he could make the Jiang family elders happy and make the original owner willingly be deceived by him showed that he was very eloquent.

Never mind, let’s just consider those pieces of jewelry as a test for her.

If she is not trustworthy, no matter how loyal she was in the original owner's life, she will never use her again.

Of course, even if he finally found out that Yunxin was available, Jiang Yizhou decided to pawn such a valuable item himself.

A trump card is one that no one knows about.

Jiang Yizhou checked the red coral hairpin, put it back, and then lay back on the bed to rest.

Continue to check the redemption list, thinking about what to do next.

…………

Fusong Town is connected to Jiang'an County in the north, Ximin County in the west, and Tianqi County in the south. It is the intersection center of the three counties.

The Canglang River passes through Jiang'an County and merges into the Wujiang River more than 30 miles east of Fusong Town.

Therefore, the prosperity here is better than many remote small counties.

There are two main roads running east-west and north-south in the town, dividing the town into four areas: southeast, northeast, northwest, and southwest.

The southeast, southwest and southwest are basically inhabited by wealthy families, while the northeast and northwest are mostly inhabited by ordinary families and most of the people who moved here later.

There are rows of shops on both sides of the street, and there are two main trading points at each end of the east-west main road in the town.

The eastern district was mainly used for the trading of various livestock, and various animal husbandry firms were also located here.

The West District market is a trading point for various utensils, such as paper-making, blacksmith shops, etc.

The Jiang family’s house is not in the town, but at the foot of Niuwang Mountain, two miles southeast of the town.

Although it is at the foot of the mountain, the terrain here is open, with vast fertile fields in front and surrounding mountains behind.

Because the mountains are high and the forests are dense, there is a stream that meanders along the mountain stream a few hundred meters away from Jiang's house all year round.

The Jiang residence covers an area of ​​more than one hundred acres. There are several slightly smaller courtyards scattered on the left side, which belong to Jiang's second and third uncles. There are also several families on the right side near the foot of the mountain. They were originally temporary residences for the servants who helped the Jiang family guard the mountain. Now they have become proper houses for some managers and more prestigious servants in the house to live in.

Aunt Jiao lived in a two-story courtyard near Jiang's house.
