Chapter 15 She must have run away
down.She went outside to gather more firewood and built a bonfire. They hadn't brought any luggage, so they couldn't change their clothes. They could only squat by the fire and dry their wet clothes....Ginger gathered with the officers at the inn's door. Of course, not all officers went into town; only Lao Zhang and Xiao Deng, responsible for purchasing, were there.
Seeing ginger, Xiao Deng's face was filled with a smile, "Sister Ginger, come up!"
The officials had a cart because it was convenient for transporting their supplies. At this time, Xiao Deng sat on the cart and waved to her.
Ginger sat down directly and said, "Thank you, Xiao Deng. We can set off now."
"Well, have something to eat."
Xiao Deng gave Jiang Wan a white steamed bun, probably his own breakfast. This time, Jiang Wan didn't take it.
"I'm not hungry now, I can buy something to eat in town later."
The little light didn't force Ginger to stay. At this time, it was still dark. The ox cart rattled towards the nearest town. Fortunately, it wasn't far. When they reached the city gate, it was just daybreak.
Having paid the city entrance fee, Xiaodeng said to Jiang Wan, "Jiang elder sister, you can buy whatever you want. Let's meet back at the city gate."
"Little Deng!"
Old Zhang curiously tugged on Xiao Deng's sleeve. Although this young woman had saved him, what if she ran away if they took their eyes off her
"Sister Ginger, don't miss the appointed time, or it will be too late!"
Xiao Deng smiled, revealing his white teeth. As someone capable of holding office, he wasn't foolish. He was giving Ginger a chance.
Even if Ginger really ran away, he would still consider it as repaying Ginger's kindness.
"Don't worry, I'll be back on time."
Ginger smiled and jumped out of the carriage. With a few turns, she disappeared into a narrow alleyway. Lao Zhang watched her vanish, his face paling several shades. òй.
"Little Deng, if she really runs away, how will you explain it to the boss"
Even though he was Ren Bang's nephew, he wouldn't be treated well, after all, losing a prisoner is a serious crime.
"Don't worry, Sister Jiang won't run away."
Xiao Deng had a feeling, an intuition that Jiang Wan would definitely go back because there were important people there.
Ginger didn't know that Xiao Deng trusted her so much. She first found a small alleyway to enter the space and changed her clothes, then used the makeup left in the space to give herself a makeover.
Soon the fallen young mistress transformed into a wealthy madam, but unfortunately she had no maidservants by her side. All the servants from the former manor had been re-sold.
But with the golden headwear she was sporting, even Xiao Deng might not have recognized her. Gingerly nibbling on some snacks in the space, Jiang Wan headed straight for the grain store.
"Shopkeeper, I bought up all the stock in your shop!"
Jiang Wan waved her hand, she hadn't forgotten the hoarding task assigned by the system. The desolate land was poor, and only with grain in hand could she feel at ease.
The shopkeeper at the grain store saw Ginger dressed in style and immediately couldn't stop smiling.
"Very well, madam. Consider this settled."
The shopkeeper took his abacus and rattled it, calculating something. He also sent the clerk to check the warehouse for stock.
Just as Jiang Wan was thinking about whether to stock up on some other things first, she overheard a conversation between passersby.
"Quick, I heard the Chen family is going to be raided, let's go take a look."
"That's our richest tycoon! Who could have offended him"
Whatever the reason, we might be able to find some deals if we go there!
"... "
" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The following ginger didn't pay attention to what was said. She only knew that a wealthy merchant meant wealth!
This thing was copied from the imperial treasury, since she encountered it, Ginger Wan couldn't miss this opportunity.
"Calculate this carefully for me, and put everything in the warehouse once you're done. I'll come pick it up later."
Before Ginger left, she informed the shopkeeper and at the door, randomly asked a passerby for the location of the Chen family before swiftly departing towards their residence.
I don't know if the Chen family and Song Jiubian are related, but confiscating their assets at this time point probably has some connection.
Ginger didn't have time to think much. By the time she quietly snuck into the Chen Residence, she could already hear the sound of soldiers entering from the main gate.
She didn't hesitate either, and immediately started collecting things. The Chen family was indeed a wealthy merchant clan, the treasures in their warehouse were no less impressive than those in a prince's palace.
From large items such as ancient paintings, folding fans, South China coral, North Sea pearls, and jade headdresses to small things like cotton clothing, shoes, cloth, and ginger, nothing was spared.
Even if she didn't get it, it would be a steal for the emperor. At worst, when she was exiled, if she ran into people from the Chen family, she would help them out.
Several storage rooms and private storerooms were emptied by her. She quickly went to the kitchen, first putting all the fresh vegetables inside the space.
Her space could preserve freshness, so she didn't have to worry about things going bad. She put away snacks and food supplies, and even things like fire starters, kerosene, soy sauce, and coarse tea in the storeroom.
Before leaving the kitchen, Ginger had also taken a large water jar. As the soldiers approached the kitchen, Ginger clapped her hands and left, waving her sleeves without leaving a cloud behind.
Unfortunately, she didn't have time to go to the front yard, but her harvest was still good. Ginger was busy packing up and heading back to the grain store.
The shopkeeper had just finished his accounts when the clerk couldn't help but advise, "Shopkeeper, it's been a while since madam left, and she didn't give any deposit. Is it really necessary to move all her belongings to the storeroom"
The friend is also thinking of the shopkeeper's well-being. What if that madam doesn't come, it would be a loss of a day's business.
The shopkeeper tapped the young boy on the head and said, "I told you to move it, didn't I These ladies hate being fooled. This is a big deal, we can't slack off."
If that husband gets angry, this shop might not even be able to stay open. He's been doing business for so many years, he still has good judgement.
Okay, shop owner.
After the shopkeeper and his assistants had moved everything to the storeroom, Ginger coincidentally arrived. This time, she did not appear before the shopkeeper.
Instead, he glanced at the bill calculated by the shopkeeper, took out the corresponding bank note from his spatial pouch, and with a wave of his hand, put all the goods into his space.
It was still early, and Ginger rolled her eyes. She didn't rush to the city gate, but instead followed the same plan, ransacking the shops on this street.
Restaurant dishes, pastries, steamed buns and so on, she also ransacked several clothing stores, buying a lot of clothes for people of all ages.
I also scraped shoes and other durable items, such as pots, pans, and dishes.
Most importantly, she went to the pharmacy and bought a batch of medicinal herbs and a set of silver needles. In short, she didn't miss anything she needed. Of course, she left money or silver notes for the goods.
"The stocking up task is 85% complete."
The busy ginger girl didn't notice the fairy's voice. She finally had time to change her clothes in the spatial compartment and then ate a delicious meal.
This was the takeout from a restaurant. Ginger had eaten it with great satisfaction, and she finally felt like her stomach had something in it.
After finishing her meal, she dug out a pair of sneakers from her old belongings. She'd been walking the mountain path every day and her feet had blistered badly. She didn't want to wear them out completely so she put the insole of the sneakers under her current cloth shoes.
Besides, she also took out bamboo bowls, bamboo tubes, including a pot, plus salt and oil, and some dry food. She also gave Song Jiubian some medicinal herbs before rushing to the city gate.
At this time, at the city gate, Xiao Deng and Lao Zhang were looking around anxiously. They saw that the time was almost up, but Jiang Wan hadn't appeared yet. Lao Zhang was so anxious that he was foaming at the mouth.
“Little Deng, she’s probably run away!”
If the exile really ran away, they would all be in deep trouble."Master, I've looked carefully.""All these are herbs for warming, clearing heat and detoxifying. You can drink some, it shouldn't be a problem.""I don't drink!"Dr. Jiang was very stubborn and refused...
