Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 175 Ancient Times (29)

Ji Xiao didn't go anywhere during the New Year holidays. She only went out with Li Xiangyi to look at the lanterns on the Lantern Festival. Whenever Li Xiangyi saw some interesting little objects, he would stop to take a look.

After all, in his world, it took him only three or four years from leaving the mountain gate to do justice to establishing the Sigumen, and during that period, he became the number one in kendo at that time.

Now that he has left those halos, in the past year, he has finally understood what life is like for ordinary people. In the past, he was a favored child and never worried about money. Now, he is still a favored child and still has never worried about money. Even if he did, it was only before Bi Cha was solved.

Because he couldn't use force during that period and his meridians hadn't fully recovered, he couldn't go hunting to pay back the money. But since the toxins in his body were completely eliminated and his meridians recovered.

The first thing he did was to go to the nearest mountains and hunt a tiger, four wild boars, and some miscellaneous small game. He did not keep any of them and sold them all for money.

Then after he came down the mountain, he was discovered by nearby villagers. After learning that the big insects on the mountain had been eliminated and the litter of wild boars had also been dealt with, the village chief came to thank him and gave him countless farm products.

Later, when he went to sell wild animals, he received a reward from the government. Li Xiangyi accepted it on the principle of not taking it if it was free, after all, it was earned by his own ability.

What's more, he will have to support his family in the future, so how can he do without money? But he has to pay back the money first and then earn money to support him in the future.

After all, it takes a lot of money to support a family, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, clothes for changing all year round, rouge and powder for women, and jewelry, all of which cost money.

These were just Li Xiangyi's thoughts, and he had not told anyone else. At that time, he didn't know what he felt for Ji Xiao, whether it was a fledgling complex or love that had grown over time.

However, it did not affect the fact that the money did not stay in Li Xiangyi's hands for more than two hours, because on the way back, he only secretly bought some cakes and maltose to eat, and gave the rest of the money to Ji Xiao.

However, Ji Xiao only asked for large-denomination silver notes. She did not take small change or copper coins. After all, apart from the change, the rest was worth one thousand and two taels of silver notes.

Because Ji Xiao felt that these were enough. The elixir used had already been paid for by the other party, Tiandao. As for the medicinal materials used for the subsequent conditioning, one thousand taels was just right. After all, it didn't cost much money to buy clothes for him. However, she had a set and Li Xiangyi had a set.

After personally seeing the local fabrics, Ji Xiao wrote back and ordered fabric from Fanghua Pavilion, the same store where she bought fabric on the first day. At wholesale prices, she spent even less.

In this way, Ji Xiao held an anniversary memorial service for his father at home, and then returned to the academy to bring the teachers and students of the academy and the officials of the government office to the altar, and led everyone to perform a spring plowing blessing ceremony, praying for good weather and good harvests in the new year.

In previous years, it was the job of Ji Xiao's father, but this year, due to the death of his father, Ji Xiao had to take the stage. Because all sacrificial activities in Qingyun Town, including but not limited to the academy and government offices, were held by Ji Xiao's family as priests.

And there is only one heir in each generation of their family. If it is a boy, it is okay, but if it is a girl, she will be married into the family, and the next generation will be given the surname Ji and trained as the heir.

Now with Ji Xiao's arrival, she is even more adept at this job. In addition to the books handed down in the family, she also reads the books on this subject from Yun Duo every day and writes down her own thoughts and understandings.

Then we worshipped our ancestors during the Qingming Festival and then prepared our luggage for the trip.

However, this time Ji Xiao did not plan to bring her maids and servants with her, as this would hinder her collection of supplies. Besides, she preferred to go out alone. After all, sometimes she would go to the deep mountains and forests to collect some medicinal herbs she had never seen before.

So Ji Xiao only planned to travel with Li Xiangyi and not bring anyone else.

So after the Qingming Festival, Ji Xiao chose a good day for traveling, prepared some daily necessities and clothes and bedding, and left with Li Xiangyi in a carriage.

The day they left, the sky was clear and the weather was sunny. They had not yet left Qingyun Town, so the road was very smooth. This time, apart from choosing a specific direction, Ji Xiao let the two horses walk on the road.

And they didn't bring anyone else, so they walked slowly. It took them three or four days to reach the next town to rest.

Along the way, when it rained, the two of them found a place to stop. Ji Xiao was responsible for making a fire, while Li Xiangyi went into the mountains to hunt and pick wild fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, etc.

Now, Li Xiangyi can identify edible wild fruits and vegetables very well. The only thing he can do for cooking is barbecue. The rest are just edible but not lethal, so Ji Xiao has been cooking all the way.

But she only cooked, and all other work was taken over by Li Xiangyi.

At that time, Ji Xiao asked him why?

He said: If the food I cook is not bad, I won't even let you cook. And supporting a family is a man's responsibility, and that's the case for me.

And I know I'm still pursuing you, we haven't gotten married yet, but that doesn't affect me treating you well.
