I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 52 Going Directly to the State Capital

Ning Cuizhi thought, if her son and her daughter-in-law have a conflict in the future, her son will not be beaten by her daughter-in-law, or even beaten twice, or three times, if one is not enough, right? Oh...

Bai Jingzhou felt a chill for some reason when he received the pitying gaze from his mother.

His mind was highly active, and all the recent events quickly circled in his mind, but he still couldn't figure out why his mother looked at him like that.

Bai Jingzhou took a deep breath and planned to ask his mother privately when he returned.

Three days later, Bai Jingzhou took the completely dried Ganoderma lucidum and went to the town with Gu Wenxuan.

Before leaving, the two had already informed their families, saying that if their master could help to find a buyer in the county or state capital, they might stay outside for a few days.

When the Gu family and the Bai family heard that they would go to their master first, they agreed without much hesitation. With their master watching over them, the Gu family and the Bai family were still relieved.

What they didn't know was that Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan didn't even stay in the town.

The two hired a carriage in the town and headed straight to Longgang County next to Qingshan County. Longgang County and Xingzhou City were governed in the same city, which meant that the two headed directly to Xingzhou City.

Bai Chong could bear the pain and give up a lot of money because he was a commoner, but Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou, who were in urgent need of initial capital, could not do so.

Especially for Gu Wenxuan, whose rebellious nature weighs twenty pounds more than her body weight. If she were asked to give up her deserved benefits because of her identity, she would rather eat all the Ganoderma lucidum into her own stomach.

She and Bai Jingzhou got off the carriage at the city gate, paid the fare, and watched the driver turn around and return to Liulin Town.

"Let's go, it's time for us to make our debut."

Bai Jingzhou nodded slightly, and the two of them took out copper coins and paid the entrance fee.

The two men had rough, black and red skin, and their clothes were patched coarse cloth shorts. They looked like ordinary people with little money.

The soldiers guarding the city looked from the wooden hairpins on their heads to the gray straw sandals on their feet. The disdain in their eyes was clear and undisguised.

The two men carried backpacks filled with a lot of vegetables that they had picked from their home garden under the pretext of "giving them as a gift to the master."

The small boxes of Ganoderma lucidum and the simple disguise supplies they had prepared were placed under the vegetables, but just as Bai Jingzhou guessed, the soldiers guarding the city thought it was a waste of time to even symbolically turn over their backpacks.

After collecting the entrance fee, he quickly scanned them from head to toe and determined that they were just a pair of poor guys. They immediately waved their hands with an impatient look on their faces and let them enter the city.

The two men followed the example of the others in front of them, being timid and obedient, and followed the crowd into the city.

It was not until they were completely out of sight of the soldiers guarding the city that Bai Jingzhou whispered to Gu Wenxuan, "With their attitude on duty, it would be easy for the enemy to sneak in."

Gu Wenxuan sighed, "Of course the collapse of a building will not be without signs."

But this is a good thing for them. Since they are destined to lose anyway, they might as well lose happily. At least ordinary people like them will not suffer too much because the war lasts too long.

The two of them chose to walk in secluded and deserted places, and finally found an abandoned and dilapidated courtyard, and they walked in immediately.

They locked the tattered gate from the inside and walked through the knee-high weeds into the main house of the courtyard, where only one room had collapsed and the other two were also crumbling.

Gu Wenxuan took the lead and went around the two rooms that had not collapsed yet, and then motioned Bai Jingzhou to go in.

"You stay in the main room and I stay in the west room, is that ok?"

Bai Jingzhou nodded, "Okay."

The two men entered the house and quickly put on the spare clothes they brought with them.

After changing his clothes, Bai Jingzhou took out the disguise tools he brought with him and started to dress up.

In a short while, Gu Wenxuan changed from a dark-haired little girl to a middle-aged woman with gray hair, deep crow's feet and nasolabial folds, and a sad face wearing a patched green dress.

As for Bai Jingzhou, his face evolved from a small black face to a small brown face, and his clothes also changed from a coarse cloth shorts to a patched gray scholar's robe, but his face had a lot of pits and bumps that looked like acne pits.

They took off their straw sandals and put on patched grey cloth shoes that were made from the same material as their clothes. Then Gu Wenxuan hunched her overly straight shoulders a little, and they immediately changed from a young unmarried couple to a young scholar and his mother who were living in poverty.

It is worth mentioning that Bai Jingzhou was actually against pretending to be mother and son with Gu Wenxuan. He wanted to pretend to be husband and wife with Gu Wenxuan...

However, Gu Wenxuan insisted on misleading those who had ill intentions towards them as much as possible, so when buying clothes, she directly decided to buy a scholar's robe and a standard green long skirt for middle-aged women.

In her words, "I don't believe that they can find us by following the clues of 'mother and son selling Ganoderma lucidum'."

The clothes were already bought, what else could Bai Jingzhou do? He could only let her take advantage of him.

The two men looked at each other and confirmed that there were no flaws in each other's disguises. Then they picked up the backpacks again and walked out.

With Bai Jingzhou, a know-it-all, there was no need for the two to ask anyone where the clinic was. They were just like the ordinary people who had lived in this city for many years, carefully avoiding the nobles and rushing as fast as possible to one of their destinations, the He Family Clinic in the south of the city.

According to the information Bai Jingzhou had obtained, although the He family clinic was located in the south of the city where merchants lived, because the owner had excellent medical skills, it occasionally did business with officials of all ranks in the east of the city.

This kind of clinic with plenty of money was the most likely to consume all of their Ganoderma lucidum at once. In addition, the owner of the He family clinic also had a good reputation outside. After much deliberation, Bai Jingzhou finally decided to rank their clinic ahead of the one in the east of the city.

He and Gu Wenxuan had already discussed privately that they would only offer five large Ganoderma lucidum.

Bai Jingzhou quietly weighed the five large ones plus the two medium-sized ones. The large ones added up to a little over 80 qian (20 grams), and the small ones added up to a little over qian ( grams), which was considered a whole of liang.

This kind of dried red ganoderma with excellent appearance can be sold for one thousand or even two thousand taels per catty in the provincial capital, depending on customer demand. Even if we only take the middle number, their two taels of dried red ganoderma can be sold for three hundred taels of silver.
