"Don't worry about money. I know medicinal herbs. I can go into the mountains to collect them and settle our daily expenses first."

"Mother doesn't want you to be too tired. You have never enjoyed happiness since you were a child."

"There is always a way out when you reach the mountain. Rest early and we will talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."

As there were only two beds, Ye Xiuying knew her daughter's thoughts and did not force her. She let Qingcheng sleep with her, and Chuyi slept with Zicheng. This made the two brothers very happy, and they played and fought until very late before going to bed.

The next morning, Wen Qingcheng woke up from her sleep, stretched, and rubbed her aching joints. The bed was too hard. When she had the means, she would buy a good bed and make it soft.

When Wen Qingcheng woke up, Ye Xiuying had just returned from outside. "Qingcheng, get up, wash up quickly, and let's go back to pack our things. I've hired a donkey cart to bring our furniture over."

It took a whole morning just to move the furniture. Fortunately, Aunt Ruan knew about it and asked Dalang and Sanlang to help. Finally, all the furniture was arranged. Wen Zhuo, the eldest cousin of the uncle, also helped to contact the craftsmen and started to repair the stove in the kitchen. It took a whole day to finally finish the work.

The next thing was to clean up the weeds in the yard. After a tiring day, Ye Xiuying lay on the bed and talked about tomorrow's plans.

Wen Qingcheng had her own plans. They had just moved and didn't have much food in stock. They didn't have any land, so they could only buy food. Money was everywhere. She had to hurry to the county tomorrow morning to exchange the musk for money.

Wen Qingcheng is not an inexperienced rookie. She understands human nature. As the saying goes, words and actions can suppress a gentleman, while clothes can suppress a villain. Many people respect clothes before people. Wen Qingcheng looked down at the old clothes on her body. If she went to the county town like this, not only would she not be able to sell her musk at a good price, she might not even be able to see the manager of the store.

Wen Qingcheng asked Chuyi to prepare bath water for her as she wanted to take a good bath.

After taking a bath, Wen Qingcheng felt much more refreshed as her hair dried naturally. The women in Yueya Village seldom wash their hair often, and if they have oily hair or dandruff, they use a comb to comb their hair.

Since the teeth of the comb are fine, it is easy to comb out the oil and dandruff. Wen Qingcheng doesn't have this habit, she is used to having clean and fresh hair.

After combing her hair, Wen Qingcheng searched through the boxes and cabinets to find her clothes. She didn't have many clothes, and they were basically all coarse cloth, without a single piece of high-end material. Helplessly, Wen Qingcheng could only choose from them, thinking that when she made money, she would definitely buy some clothes that she could wear out.

After rummaging around, Wen Qingcheng pulled out a light green dress. Fortunately, it was not patched like other clothes and was relatively new. She then used a kettle and a towel to iron the dress.

The next morning, Wen Qingcheng changed into ironed clothes, put two hair buns in her hair, combed her hair into a beautiful bun, and took out the only hollow butterfly hairpin to put it on.

"My daughter is just beautiful." Ye Xiuying looked at the dressed-up Wen Qingcheng. The more she looked, the more beautiful she thought she was. When she thought that such a beautiful and capable daughter was her own, she couldn't get enough of looking at her. Which artist doesn't love his or her muse?

"Mom, let Chuyi and Zicheng do the weeding, and you accompany me to the county town. But how do we get there?" Wen Qingcheng felt that everything in this world was good, except for the inconvenient transportation. She had been to the county town once, and the ox cart was shaking all the way, and she almost got carsick.

"The county town is more than 40 miles away from here. It will take half an hour to get there by horse or ox cart. It will be faster if we take the water route." Ye Xiuying said.

"Then let's go by water."

The mother and daughter went out with the bamboo basket, and locked Chuyi and Zicheng in the house. When they arrived at the riverside of the village, there was only one fishing boat moored there.

"Oh, we're late. The captain has already left with the passengers. I guess we'll have to wait for a while." Ye Xiuying said with some regret.

"It's okay, it's still early, just wait."

"Aunt Ye, please go out."

Ye Xiuying and Wen Qingcheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ruan Dalang, one of the three Ruan brothers. Ye Xiuying walked towards them. "Yes, I went to the county for something. I was so busy yesterday that I didn't even invite you to dinner."

Ruan Dalang smiled cheerfully: "Don't be polite to us, it's just a matter of lending a hand."

"You are a step late. The captain has just left." Ruan Erlang said, looking at the empty river.

"Yes, let's wait a little longer." Ye Xiuying smiled.

"Aunt, we have nothing to do right now, let's take our boat." Ruan Sanlang said.

"Is this...convenient?" Ye Xiuying was a little overjoyed.

"What's the inconvenience? We just unloaded a boatload of fish. If you don't mind, come up. We won't charge you any money." Ruan Sanlang said as he swept the boat with a broom.

"How can I not charge you? I can't let you make a wasted trip. I already had enough trouble with you when we moved yesterday." Ye Xiuying smiled and pulled Wen Qingcheng onto the boat.

Dalang and Erlang of the Ruan family put a boat full of fish on a cart and went home first. Sanlang Ruan untied the ropes alone and rowed at the stern of the boat.

Wen Qingcheng stood at the bow. It was not that she didn't want to sit, but there was simply no place to sit on the fishing boat.

Ruan Sanlang caught a glimpse of Wen Qingcheng at the stern. She was wearing a mint green dress. In the sunlight, her long brown-black hair was neatly draped behind her head, with a hollow butterfly hairpin inserted diagonally in her bun. She looked pure and elegant as she stood gracefully at the bow.

A breeze blew, blowing up her light hair, and her skirt danced in the wind, and I seemed to smell the fragrance of her daughter, like orchid.

"Sister Wen, please stand inside. The boat is shaking and it's not safe to stand there." Ruan Sanlang said.

Wen Qingcheng obediently moved back and turned back to smile sweetly at him: "Thank you, third brother."

Hearing her call him "third brother", Ruan Sanlang felt so sweet in his heart that the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. There were three brothers in his family, but he had no sister. If he also had such a beautiful and gentle girl, he would definitely buy her the most beautiful clothes and jewelry, protect her well, and no one would be allowed to bully her.

How could Ruan Sanlang have imagined that this seemingly soft and gentle girl in front of him had been decisive and ruthless in her previous life. She had practiced qigong since childhood and had strength far beyond that of a normal adult man. She could chop off a zombie's head with a single axe.

"Aunt, sister, you don't go to the county very often. There are many pickpockets in the county, so you must hide your wallets well."

In Ruan Sanlang's eyes, these two people were weak women who had never traveled far. He was extremely worried about whether they would meet bad people or get lost.

"That pickpocket can't steal from us because we don't have any money, hehe..." Wen Qingcheng said, and then she let out a silver bell-like giggle, and Ruan Sanlang also laughed foolishly when he saw her.

"You still have to be more careful. There are all kinds of birds in the forest, especially a beautiful one like the Wen family's sister. You'd better be careful and go early and come back early." Ruan Sanlang said to Ye Xiuying.

"Third brother, just call me Qingcheng." Wen Qingcheng felt that it was really troublesome for him to call her "Sister Wen" all the time, so she should just call her by her name.
