Jian Dacheng was furious: "Stupid woman!"

Not only did he have to pay compensation, but he also offended all his neighbors. I've never seen anyone so stupid.

Jian Dacheng was depressed to death.

Why didn't he realize Qian was so stupid before?

Qian felt very aggrieved and shed tears silently.

She got upset outside and was scolded by the head of the family when she came back. No one comforted her or felt sorry for her. What kind of life is this for her?

"Xiao He, Xiao He, pour mother a glass of water." Qian shouted outside at the top of her voice.

Jian Xiaohe came in slowly: "Mom, Jian Zhaodi is cooking, the pot is occupied, so there is no way to boil water."

Qian was so angry that she glared at Jian Xiaohe: "What have you been doing so early in the morning? Don't you know to boil some water in advance to cool it down? Aren't you thirsty?"

Jian Xiaohe also felt aggrieved: "Mom, I don't know how to boil water! Jian Zhaodi used to do it."

Qian suddenly remembered that Jian Zhaodi used to get up early to boil water. No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, the whole family would have hot water. Since Jian Zhaodi went on strike, the family has been inconvenienced. They never knew that the skinny Jian Zhaodi played such a big role in the family.

After finishing breakfast which was almost noon, Jian Yue went out again with two bamboo tubes of ginseng water and a large backpack.

While Jian Dacheng and his son were unable to move, she went out more often and got to know the city better.

Jian Yue saw Yun Zhonghe again. He was still dozing by his rag banner.

Jian Yue walked over and greeted him: "Senior Yun."

Yun Zhonghe opened his sleepy eyes and instantly became energetic: "It's you! Little girl, thank you for the money you gave me. I had a full meal yesterday and drank two taels of wine." He smacked his lips, as if he was still savoring the taste of yesterday's wine.

Jian Yue had a bad feeling: "Have you spent all the half tael of silver I gave you yesterday?"

Yun Zhonghe's face wrinkled instantly: "Alas! Money is really hard to spend! I only bought half a tael of Yuma wine, and half a tael of silver is gone."

Jian Yue frowned: "What kind of wine is so expensive?"

In her previous life, her poison master was an alcoholic. He spent almost all the money he earned from seeing patients and selling medicine on alcohol, and she became hungry and full. Later, she felt that this was not going to work, so she learned to make wine herself. When the alcoholic master heard that he was going to make wine for him, he was more enthusiastic than her and found many wine recipes for her.

The drunkard master was a wine connoisseur. He could not tolerate ordinary wines. This forced Jian Yue to improve her winemaking skills. In the end, the drunkard master only drank the wine brewed by Jian Yue because other wines could no longer be tolerated by the drunkard master.

Fortunately, there were a lot of wine brewed before, hundreds of jars, and after I came here, it should be enough for Master to drink for the rest of his life. I should have died in the original world, right? I wonder if Master will be sad?

Although the drunkard master was not very reliable and lacked care for her, he taught her medical skills after all, and Jian Yue still missed her very much.

Yun Zhonghe's nagging voice brought Jian Yue back to her scattered thoughts: "You little girl don't understand. Yumai wine is the most famous wine in Nanchang State. It is brewed by Master Wen Jiu of the Wen family, a wine-making family. The tribute wine for the palace comes from the Wen family. The Yumai wine that the Wen family sells is third-class. The first and second-class wines are all sent to the palace. Even the third-class wine is in short supply. One ounce of wine costs one ounce of silver!"

Yun Zhonghe's words aroused Jian Yue's interest. She wanted to know how good her winemaking skills were in this world.

She looked around, then quietly took out half a tael of silver and whispered, "Senior Yun, go buy me a tael of wine. I want to try the jade wine."

Yun Zhonghe's eyes suddenly widened, and then he said angrily: "You are a little girl, why are you drinking wine? You are dressed like an old lady, your family should not be rich, right? If you have money, spend it on useful things."

Jian Yue nodded repeatedly: "What the senior said is right. I want to find a place where I can learn to read, but I have no money."

There is no women's college in Nanchang. If you want to study and learn, you have to ask for a private tutor. The so-called talented women all come from big families.

When resources are limited, men are definitely given the opportunity to study first. Only when there is spare money and the elders are open-minded, can women have the opportunity to study. But such families are few and far between.

Yun Zhonghe was puzzled: "Why do you want to learn to read? Is there anyone who can read in your family?"

Jian Yue nodded: "They say that reading makes one wise, and I think women should learn a few words. Otherwise, when they are sold, they won't even know what is written on the contract."

Yun Zhonghe smiled and nodded approvingly: "Your idea is quite peculiar. However, it makes sense. If you only want to learn a few words, I can teach you for free, but you have to buy me two taels of Yuma wine."

"Sure, sure. I'll buy it for you right away." Jian Yue didn't expect such a pleasant surprise.

The writing system of Nanchang Kingdom is very different from that of the previous life, just like the difference between Chinese and Japanese. Influenced by her previous life, Jian Yue felt that a person without culture was like being blind, and it was inconvenient to do anything. Besides, if she didn't even know the characters, how could she compete with Yan Xinning, who was known as a talented woman?

Jian Yue went to the tavern that sold jade wine - Wen's Tavern.

There were many people buying wine at the entrance of Wen's Tavern, and there was already a long line. Jian Yue stood at the back of the line. Soon, the line behind her was full of people.

There was a faint aroma of wine in the air. Jian Yue sniffed and understood what was going on.

After half an hour, it was Jian Yue's turn.

There is a cashier counter at the door of the tavern. You pay first and then get the drinks.

The shopkeeper who was collecting the money saw Jian Yue frowning and was about to open his mouth to drive her away, but Jian Yue slapped two taels of silver on the counter. The shopkeeper changed his words to: "What kind of wine do you want, little girl?"

"Jade wine."

"Two taels of jade-mash wine." The shopkeeper shouted inside.

Jian Yue handed Yun Zhonghe the broken wine gourd.

The waiter quickly poured out two taels of jade wine and handed it to Jian Yue. Jian Yue shook the wine gourd and frowned: "This is two taels?"

In her previous life, she prepared medicine with her hands, and her hands were more accurate than a scale.

The waiter glared at him and said, "Why not two taels? One grape is one tael, and it was measured in advance. The Wen Family Wine Shop is a century-old shop, so why would they deduct a cent from you?"

Jian Yue sneered: "You know whether you have two taels or not. You can't make money in the long run by dishonest means."

"What did you say? You poor guy, if you can't afford it, don't buy it. You come here and act wildly, don't you see whose territory this is?" The waiter threw away the wine glass, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Jian Yue, as if he was going to teach her a lesson.

Jian Yue looked at the shopkeeper who was pretending to be deaf and dumb: "Are you sure you want to make a big deal about this? The magistrate is a fair and honest official."

The shopkeeper even wanted to let the waiter teach Jian Yue a lesson before coming out. To dare to question the weight of the Wen family wine shop is simply to live impatiently. But Jian Yue's words made him...
