Jing Chunxi finally called his third uncle into the car and told his third uncle to drive directly to the intersection near the vegetable market. Jing Changning was confused and asked in surprise, "Aren't you talking about buying bedding? And an iron pot!"

"Has Third Uncle seen anything strange happen these days?" Jing Chunxi spoke to her Third Uncle seriously only after she made sure that the driver in front could not hear. She had to be honest at this time, otherwise she would not be able to get her things out.

"For example: those dozen bowls and chopsticks? And those daggers and swords?" It's true that it's easy to communicate with smart people. Seeing that the third uncle didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, and then stared at her intently waiting for her to explain, Jing Chunxi relaxed a lot: It's okay as long as you understand, and I don't have to make up too many stories.

"Sister Xi knew about the house being confiscated and exiled in advance, so she told mother." She said a few words and then paused.

Jing Changning nodded, not surprised at all, and asked again, "How did you know?"

Jing Chunxi: "The Fairy Aunt told Sister Xi."

Jing Changning naturally didn't believe it and said seriously, "Speak properly."

"Sister Xi has the help of the Fairy Aunt. I have taken all the things from the General's Mansion and my mother's dowry."

"Received? How did you receive it?"

This made Jing Changning pause, his eyes changing. He had just wanted to tease his niece, to see how she could manage so many things, but he hadn't expected her to be able to collect so many things. As for the fairy aunt, he still didn't believe in it. Children don't blame the gods, and without seeing it with their own eyes, he could only assume it was a child's innate worship of the gods, a made-up character.

"Then Third Uncle shouldn't get too excited about anything he sees." After Jing Chunxi said this, he placed his hand directly in the innermost corner of the carriage, and seven or eight quilts and pillows appeared directly in front of Jing Changning.

She knew she couldn't delay, and her choice was based on actual performance. It was only a mile to the original place, and even if the speed was slow, she would arrive soon. The longer she delayed, the more she couldn't explain, and she couldn't explain it anymore when her aunt came back from shopping.

Although he was a scholar and well-informed, Jing Changning was still shocked by this move. He had not expected such a result. Even if the things were stacked high, they still took up a small half of the car.

Jing Chunxi had no time to care about his reaction, nor would he explain slowly like he did that night. He continued, "The night before last, these are the beddings we used in our room. Also, the clothes, shoes, and socks you're wearing now were made by the embroiderer at the General's Mansion. I've collected them all."

Although Third Uncle didn't say anything, he had a strong ability to understand things. He wasn't as frightened as his mother was when she first saw this scene. He just looked a little stunned, and even smiled at her, as if to comfort her, but there was a more in-depth look in his eyes as he looked at his niece.

Jing Chunxi took advantage of this opportunity to take out two pots, one large and one small, as well as some rice, flour, seasonings, a cutting board, a kitchen knife, steamed buns, and a lot of braised pork. She also took out four already-killed chickens. It was a pity that all the vegetables, sweet potatoes, and other things she had planted in the space were gone and could not be taken out.

"The fairy aunt gave us a house to store things and land for planting. We have to buy some vegetable seeds or vegetable seedlings later, and also some green vegetables and radishes." Jing Chunxi suddenly thought of this. She already had the space for grain seeds, and she had to prepare more vegetable seeds. She was afraid that they would be useful when she arrived in Lingnan. Even if the climate was not suitable, it would be good to plant them in the space and eat them or take them out for sale. After all, the space inside was large enough.

Jing Changning no longer doubted his niece's words. After all, the facts were already there. He also knew that it was time to cut to the chase. He quickly lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Little Sanzi, let's go straight to the market. See if you can find any vegetable seeds for sale. We also want to buy some seeds and greens and radishes."

After saying this, Jing Changning gently hugged his niece beside him and didn't speak for a long time. After waiting for a long time, he said, "From now on, you can only tell things like this to your third uncle. Don't let anyone know. From now on, your uncle will take you shopping together."

Jing Chunxi stuck out his tongue and said mischievously, "Mom said: It's okay to tell grandma."

Jing Changning thought for a moment and said, "How and when should I say it? Listen to my Third Uncle and don't do anything rash."

"Well! Sister Xi is the best! She always listens to her third uncle." She knows how to act cute and naughty, mainly because many trustworthy people know her secret, which makes her feel a lot more relaxed.

She was also happy to have some free time. With her third uncle as a cover, naturally everything would be bought by her third uncle with his money, and no one would suspect her.

The two discussed along the way and decided to add some coarse grains and coarse flour, but put in less refined rice and refined flour. According to Jing Changning's idea, good things can be added like well water when the food is almost finished, while coarse rice and coarse flour are for others to see, so they should be put in the open.

Qingliu County wasn't a big town, and the market was right in the center. It wasn't far from where they'd meet, and mule carts couldn't get in. Xiao Sanzi found a spot not far from the market entrance and parked his car. He pointed them in a direction and said, "Two doors to the right of the market entrance is a small shop selling vegetable seeds. They have a wide variety, and the proprietress is honest. You can choose your own. Cabbages and radishes are in high demand at this time of year, so just weigh them and ask the vegetable vendor to bring them out. I'll be waiting here."

The entrance to the market was quite large, and as soon as they entered, they saw stalls selling vegetables and radishes. These were probably farmers from nearby setting up stalls nearing lunchtime. However, they were not in a hurry and went straight to the shop selling vegetable seeds that Xiao Sanzi had mentioned.

Jing Chunxi, holding the vegetables, relied on her memories from her previous life and asked the proprietress about several kinds of vegetables she knew. Jing Changning saw that she only ordered a few things and said nothing. Even though he thought she didn't understand before, now he believed that there was a fairy aunt helping her.

Finally, Jing Chunxi asked the proprietress to help introduce some varieties he didn't understand. He selected vegetable seeds that were suitable for planting all year round and almost bought all the seeds in the shop.

Where had the plump proprietress ever seen such a large customer? She made a deal worth seven or eight taels of silver in one go, her face wrinkled with a smile: "Young lady, do you have a big farm? Buying so much is enough to plant hundreds of acres of land."
