Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

Chapter 339 Century-Old Ginseng

Cang Ling was deeply moved. Actually, giving him to the lady wasn't out of the question. He was willing to be loyal to her; given his master's appearance, even he himself belonged to the lady.

Rounding it off, these subordinates are also the wife's.

Yes, no problem.

Whether I'll have money and a wife in the future depends on clinging to the lady's coattails...

After settling things off with Cang Ling, Gu Nanzhi still sought the opinion of the person involved.

"Do you have any problems with this arrangement? I don't keep useless people around me. If you stay with us, things won't be peaceful in the future, so you need to have a certain ability to protect yourselves."

Xia He has been practicing every day since then, including horse stance and other exercises. Although it's hard work every day, she's willing to do it and she's trying her best to persevere because she doesn't want to hold her mistress back.

The Ren siblings had no objections to this arrangement; Gu Nanzhi did not, and Ren Shuyuan and Ren Shuyi were also prepared to seek advice.

"Thank you, Miss. I am willing to learn from you."

"Okay, then you should listen to Cang Ling from now on, study hard, and don't embarrass Cang Ling. Xia He and Shu Qing, you can also practice with me every morning."

"Thank you, miss"

That evening, Jun Yanchen handed two letters to Gu Nanzhi, who was somewhat puzzled.

"Nan Nan, your fourth brother has arrived home safely. This is a letter from home for you."

It turned out to be a letter from Nanzhou. I'm glad it arrived home safely.

"Jun Yanchen, thank you,"

Gu Nanzhi took the letter and placed it on the table beside her.

"Nan Nan, there's no need to thank me. If anyone should thank someone, it's me who should thank you."

"Alright, then I won't say anything more. Huaiqing, lie down. We're about to administer acupuncture. You'll be detoxified in a few days. Focus on recuperating these next few days; we can't afford any mistakes."

Jun Yanchen obediently lay down.

"it is good"

Gu Nanzhi began to carefully insert the needles. Today's needlework technique was slightly different. After the last needle was inserted, Gu Nanzhi simply sat down on the stool to wait.

He picked up the two letters and immediately opened and examined them.

The first letter was written by Lin Chuxiao herself upon arrival home, but its content contained the sentiments of her older brothers, expressing their concern and greetings for their younger sister...

This unexpected kinship seemed to give Gu Nanzhi something to hold onto.

While Gu Nanzhi was reading the letter, Jun Yanchen was watching her.

The second letter was written by my maternal grandfather; besides the letter paper, it also contained banknotes.

The contents of the letter were largely the same as the previous one, expressing care and concern for her. The only difference was that it described Jun Yanchen's arrangements made without her knowledge.

After reading the two letters, Gu Nanzhi carried a chair to the bedside and stared at Jun Yanchen.

"You sent gifts to your maternal grandparents' family, and they were all valuable items?"

Jun Yanchen had guessed that the letter would mention this matter, and fortunately, Nan Nan had now accepted him.

"Yes, they treat you well because they are your family, and they are also my family. Now that you are mine, this small gift is inadequate. In the future, when there is an opportunity, we will prepare a new gift and personally deliver it to your residence, shall we?"

That's still too thin. Although Gu Nanzhi wasn't entirely sure, her maternal grandfather's letter had mentioned just how valuable and rare those items were...

When did you start preparing?

"I gave the order while we were still at the Lin residence, and had Huai Xu deliver it."

Gu Nanzhi nodded.

"Okay, I understand."

It seems she needs to carefully consider what to send to the Qi family. Since she can't easily take out the items from her spatial storage, she'll have to prepare the gift herself.

She doesn't seem to have anything particularly impressive about her.

Why don't we treat them to a doctor?

Yes, send them some pills. Her poison doctor's pills are worth at least several million at auctions...

In the early morning, a mist still lingers in the distance, creating a scene reminiscent of a traditional Chinese ink painting, offering the best possible serene and uplifting experience.

In the distance is a painting, up close is...

"Practice hard, all of you. Thank you for your hard work, Master Cangling. We've gone up the mountain to gather herbs; we'll try to bring back some wild game to reward you."

Gu Nanzhi watched the group practicing horse stance in the courtyard, then called to Jun Yanchen, He Mobai, and the others before they left.

"Jun Yanchen, He Mobai, and Bai Zang have left."

The mountain air was still damp with mist at dawn, giving it a cool feel, but as we climbed higher, the heat from our exercise was enough to counteract the chill.

I never have a fixed destination when I go into the mountains; I just take what I encounter.

However, it was still early, and the prey had not yet come out to forage, so the focus was on the medicinal herbs.

As they walked, the group split up. Jun Yanchen, who wasn't a professional, naturally followed Gu Nanzhi. The four of them went in three different directions, each searching for treasure in the mountains.

Gu Nanzhi, accustomed to living in the mountains, disregarded whether it was deep mountains or shallow forests, and recklessly searched the mountains. Unbeknownst to them, they had already entered the deep mountains.

In these remote, mountainous areas rarely visited by people, there are many treasures.

"Jun Yanchen, look at this ginseng. It looks quite old. I've struck gold! This is wild ginseng, its value..."

For a moment, Gu Nanzhi's thoughts lingered on her previous life, which made this wild animal even more precious.

"Nannan, there's more than one,"

Jun Yanchen also squatted down to examine the item; it was indeed a valuable item.

"Okay, step back so you don't step on it. I'll dig up the biggest one first and see. Let the younger ones continue to grow."

"I come"

"No need, no need, I can do it myself. You don't know how, don't hurt the roots."

Gu Nanzhi cherished the medicinal herbs and wouldn't allow Jun Yanchen to interfere. She carefully cleaned the soil covering the ginseng herself, bit by bit, using her tools.

And the appearance of this rare wild ginseng gradually became apparent.

"Perfect, too perfect. Could this be a hundred years old? What an incredibly lucky person I am, to have encountered a hundred-year lifespan right from the start..."

Gu Nanzhi became more and more excited as she dug, completely absorbed in the joy of obtaining the precious medicinal herbs, so engrossed that she forgot about Jun Yanchen's presence.

"Alright, alright, Jun Yanchen, you hold this for me."

"Be careful, be gentle, don't break it,"

Under Gu Nanzhi's careful guidance, a whole ginseng root was unearthed, complete even with its roots intact. She held it in her hands with great joy, examining it, smelling it gently, and even putting a little bit in her mouth to taste.

"I've also dug up a century-old ginseng; its quality is superb."

She wasn't without this in her previous life, but she always bought it with money. Now, she's experiencing what it's like to obtain it from the soil herself.

This was undoubtedly the most exciting thing for her, someone who loved medicinal herbs.

Gu Nanzhi held the ginseng with obvious delight, barely managing to calm her joy before carefully wrapping it in a cloth and placing it in a basket.

Then I looked at the rest.
