The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

If a wild ginseng can be sold for more than three hundred taels of silver, and the agent only charges five taels of silver, then she can be considered a conscientious person.

Hu Luanfei nodded slightly and patted Jiao Lan's hand. "Please lead the way, sister. If the buyer offers a high price, I will give you more labor fees."

When Jiao Lan heard this, she was overjoyed and her attitude became even better than before.

The Wang family in the northwest city of Beiqiu is a nouveau riche.

Jiao Lan said that they had come to the house to buy sheep before, and those women were the maids serving the mistress of the Wang family, whose job was to go out and collect good ingredients.

Not only that, the male owner of the Wang family used to be a businessman who ran a dyeing and bleaching workshop. Later, he was lucky enough to have the dyeing and bleaching workshop noticed by the princes and nobles of Beiqiu, who bought it at a huge price.

Do you think that's it?

After the male owner of the Wang family lost his dyeing and bleaching workshop, he planned to go out to sea to find another way to make a living. However, God couldn't bear to see him suffer so he met a seriously ill pirate on the way. Before he died, he entrusted a mountain of treasure to him on the condition that he dig a pit to bury them.

Hu Luanfei wanted to cry after hearing this, "Sister, have you heard that the princes and nobles in Beiqiu want land? I have plenty of it..."

"Sister, you are joking. No matter how bad the land in Tiger Mountain is, it is not Beiqiu's territory. They will not buy it."

"Then do you know any pirates who are about to die of illness? There are many traps in Tiger Mountain."

Jiao Lan: "...You should keep your feet on the ground. Not everyone is destined to be a nouveau riche."

While we were chatting, the Wang family arrived.

Hu Luanfei was almost frightened by the building in front of him. He vaguely remembered that even Qi Siriao's palace in the capital city was not so magnificent.

The golden glazed tiles sparkle brightly in the sun, and the antique style makes people feel solemn. The two dragons on the eaves, with golden scales and armor, are vivid and seem to be about to fly into the sky.

Hu Luanfei's heart was hit hard.

She is the princess, the legitimate wife of Prince Zhan, but her life is worse than that of a commoner.

Tsk, damn poverty restrictions.

Jiao Lan knocked on the heavy door, then stepped aside and waited.

The servant inside opened the door and poked his head out to look at the person who came. When he saw it was Jiao Lan, he immediately came out and spoke in a friendly voice, "Sister Jiao Lan is here, and the lady has been waiting for a long time."

Jiao Lan turned around and showed Hu Luanfei, "My sister is here with the goods today. She and I will go in to see the Madam."

"Okay, come in."

Even the servants were dressed ten times better than himself. Hu Luanfei looked at his own clothes and the shoes he wore when he stepped over the threshold, and a sense of inferiority arose spontaneously.

I thought that after I sold the wild ginseng, I must buy myself a few sets of good clothes to avoid being looked down upon by others.

The nouveau riche's mansion was truly magnificent, and the floor tiles under his feet were of better quality than those in the imperial palace in the capital.

Jiao Lan said that just one brick is enough for ordinary people to live a wealthy life for the rest of their lives.

Hu Luanfei didn't even dare to think whether she would be able to earn enough to buy a brick in her lifetime.

The mistress of the Wang family was watching the flowers and butterflies in the garden. Jiao Lan told her more than once along the way that no matter what she encountered on the way, she must not make any noise, get excited, or say too much.

She couldn't understand why a mere commoner like her, the princess, had to follow so many rules. She wasn't so restrained and fearful when she met the emperor and the empress dowager, so why did she, the princess, have to follow so many rules?

When they were about to reach the garden, Hu Luanfei finally understood what Jiao Lan meant.

The closer we got to a bustling place, the stronger the smell of burnt fur became in the air, and a few weak cries could be heard faintly amid the laughter.

"Madam, it's Sister Lan who brought people here." A little maid who was about sixteen years old went to report.

Hu Luanfei and Jiao Lan just appeared at the door and saw a group of servants grilling a fat sheep in an open space in the garden.

This scene came into view vividly.

The sheep was still alive. It wailed helplessly and looked at her pleadingly, its tears streaming down, while the fire burned very fiercely.

The pain instantly spread throughout my limbs.

She hugged her arms in fear and stepped back tremblingly.

"Hold on, sister, just don't look over there." Jiao Lan was used to it and hugged her gently.

But it was the first time she saw it with her own eyes, and she couldn't stand the cruel and inhumane way of grilling a sheep.

"very scary…"

"It's okay, it's okay, just sell the wild ginseng and leave."

"No, I won't sell it." Hu Luanfei fled with a pale face. She really couldn't accept the sin she had committed. She shouldn't, never should, send innocent wild goats into the hands of the devil for money.

The sheep's mournful cry was still ringing in her ears, and its pitiful eyes begged her to save it.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

"Hey, hey, wait for me, big sister!"

I can't wait. The Wang family is like a hell that cruelly kills lives. If I am a step slower, I will probably die.

Hu Luanfei rushed out of the street, frantically looking for a way to go back.

This road is not the right one, and that road is not the right one either. My blurry eyes can no longer find the right road.

"What is this for?"

"Are you sick?"

"madman!"

……

She stumbled along the way, knocking over street stalls and passers-by, attracting many curses.

"Ah!" In panic, she fell to the ground, and the wild ginseng in the bamboo basket fell out.

"Are you okay, miss."

A large hand with distinct joints reached out. Hu Luanfei looked up and saw a handsome man appear in front of him.

As soon as he arrived, he attracted a lot of attention and he could feel the infatuated gazes of women from a distance.

Hu Luanfei wiped away her tears, the dust on her hands was wet by her tears, and Bai Jing's pretty face became like a tabby cat.

"I don't need it, thank you." She rejected his kindness. The faces of the women around her changed, and they stared at her fiercely and gritted their teeth.

"Girl, I need your wild ginseng, may I..."

"can."

She agreed without thinking.

The man glanced at her from head to toe and said, "Miss, if you don't mind, please follow me to Baishan Hall."

"Are you from Baishantang?" Hu Luanfei blinked and turned his gaze back to him.

"I am a doctor from Baishan Hall."

"Oh...I see!"

"By the way, what happened to you just now?"

Hu Luanfei's body stiffened and he almost collapsed again.

Jiao Lan appeared in time and grabbed her hand, "Sister, why are you running? I brought the nanny out. If you want to sell wild ginseng, discuss the price with her..."

When she saw the handsome man, Jiao Lan paused, "Uh... Sister, you wouldn't sell the wild ginseng to him, would you?"

"Yeah. He's a doctor, he needs more medicine."

Jiao Lan was dissatisfied, "But you promised me first, how can you go back on your word?"

The faintly angry tone aroused Hu Luanfei's hatred, "I can't sell medicinal materials to such a crazy bastard..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiao Lan covered his mouth and said, "You are crazy, talking to me like that."
