Chapter 12: Crown Prince
Chapter 12 The Crown Prince
At this moment, Jiang Zhiluo saw pen and ink and a stack of paper on the table. The pen and ink and paper were a little rough, but there were some words written on the first page. Those words looked really beautiful.
Jiang Zhiluo remembered that before she was pardoned, Cui Hejin and his mother were exiled here. He had to serve and build the city wall, which was extremely hard every day.
Also after some sinners are forgiven, they are no longer sinners and do not need to serve.
Looking at Cui Hejin's cold and indifferent look, Jiang Zhiluo was also a little helpless.
She knew that if she wanted Cui Hejin to stop copying books and heal his hand, she could only make money quickly and improve her family's conditions.
This way he doesn't have to work so hard.
Jiang Zhiluo murmured: "I don't know if it will rain tomorrow. I want to go to the town."
I thought Cui Hejin wouldn't say anything, so she just muttered to herself.
At this moment, Cui Hejin paused while holding the pen in his hand and said: "The rain will stop at midnight, and there will be no rain tomorrow."
Jiang Zhiluo was surprised. She blinked her clear eyes and looked at Cui Hejin and said, "You know how to look at the weather."

Jiang Zhiluo was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Cui Hejin was the eldest son of the Cui family who was carefully cultivated. He had learned a lot since elementary school, and it was not surprising that he knew astronomy and geography.
If it doesn’t rain during the day, Jiang Zhiluo will feel relieved.
She can go around the town, get to know the market, and see what kind of business is better.
Now that I have little capital, I can only do some small business.
She remembered that although this was a cold and cold place in the north, there was a dock in their town, but the dock was relatively small.
But there are often ships anchored here. It connects various states and is also equivalent to a small transportation hub.
And it’s close to the north. Sometimes foreigners come here to buy and sell things.
Beining Town is the largest town in their northern state, and the town seems to be quite prosperous.
The river at the dock is frozen in winter, but in the beginning of spring, the ice on the river melts, allowing ships to pass and berth, and the town dock becomes bustling.
According to her understanding, the towns and cities in Beizhou are built along the river, with docks and convenient transportation, so they are relatively prosperous.
However, the climate here is not very good, especially the winters are severe and the land is barren. Many crops cannot grow in this environment, and the grain yield is low. As a result, the farmers live in poverty and their business is not affected.
But Jiang Zhiluo doesn’t worry about this. She has space. If any crop seeds are planted in the space for a period of time, and then taken out and planted on the outside, the crops will become more adaptable to the environment and the yield will be higher.
But as far as she knows, the Cui family can only grow food on the acre of land they have cleared.
If she wants to grow more crops, she also needs money to buy land, and if she wants to build a house, she also needs to buy a homestead, all of which require money.
Tomorrow morning, she would go to the town early to take a look.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiluo quietly went to see Cui Hejin. He didn't seem to be coughing like last night.
It seems that the spiritual spring water is somewhat effective.
After her meal in the morning, she also added some spiritual spring water to the water tank, so that she would bring spiritual spring water with her when cooking and drinking in the future.
It’s just that the spiritual spring water in her space pool is not inexhaustible. She must absorb more spiritual energy from plants and trees and cultivate the power of wood as soon as possible. Only in this way can the space be quickly upgraded and the spiritual spring water will be increased.
Just relying on spiritual spring water is definitely not enough. The necessary nutrients needed by the human body also need to be absorbed from food.
Jiang Zhiluo poured another cup of warm water from the kettle and pushed it in front of Cui Hejin and said, "Drink more water."
Cui Hejin is writing silently.
The Cui family's former study room had one of the best collections of books in the Yun Kingdom. He had read all the books in the library since he was a child and had a photographic memory, so he only needed to write down the contents and take them to the bookstore in town to sell them. Can. While he was writing, he saw the water pushing in front of him. He raised his eyes slightly and met the persistent eyes. He stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows helplessly.
He didn’t know why she insisted on making him drink water every night.
That’s it, let her go!
After Cui Hejin drank a glass of water, he lowered his head and continued to write silently, with an indifference about him that would repel others thousands of miles away.
Jiang Zhiluo saw him drinking water and breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that he could have a good sleep at night.
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't sleep even if she was idle, so she went to the stove and brought back a piece of charcoal.
Then he also picked up a piece of paper and started drawing something on the paper.
She is not used to writing with a brush, but it is easier and faster to use this kind of charcoal to write.
What Jiang Zhiluo drew was the silver needles needed for acupuncture. She drew and marked the size of each needle.
After finishing the painting, Jiang Zhiluo reached out and touched her hair, which was not dry yet.
She thought that in this era, everyone used soap locusts picked from the mountains to wash their hair and wash their clothes, and some even used plant ash. There was no shampoo, conditioner, or anything special for washing hands.
Jiang Zhiluo is wondering whether to make shampoo and sell it.
But this kind of thing requires some medicinal materials, and the price is not cheap if you go to the pharmacy to buy it.
Three arborvitae leaves should be found on the mountains.
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and put this thought aside for the time being.
Let’s go to the town tomorrow to have a look.
When it was getting late, Jiang Zhiluo folded and put the painted things away, and then went to bed.
She turned around and looked at Cui Hejin from inside. He was still concentrating on what he was writing.
She thought that he probably didn't like other people's interference. Even if she wanted to say to go to bed early, she hesitated but didn't say it after all.
They are only a couple in name now. He is so cold and distant, and he probably doesn't like others to interfere with his work. Even if she cares, he probably doesn't need it.
Jiang Zhiluo shrank in, lay down and fell asleep quickly.
Early the next morning, when Jiang Zhiluo woke up, Cui Hejin had already gotten up and washed up.
After the family had breakfast, Jiang Zhiluo planted some leeks in the yard, then put her basket on her back and said to Mrs. Cui, "Mom, I'm going to the town to have a look. If I come back late at noon, you don't have to wait for me to eat."
Mrs. Cui can't rest assured, "I don't worry about you going alone. Let He Jin accompany you."
Jiang Zhiluo quickly waved her hands and said: "No, no need, mother, it's okay. My husband is not in good health. Let him rest at home."
She sometimes doesn’t like others to follow her when doing things.
When Jiang Zhiluo disappeared from the street with a basket on her back, Mrs. Cui turned to look at Cui Hejin and said, "Zhiluo is a good child. Mother can see that she is sincere to you."
Seeing that Cui Hejin still looked cold and indifferent, Mrs. Cui was a little anxious and said: "You are already married, so don't be so cold-tempered. What if Zhi Luo can't stand it if you stay like this?"
“Look at how cold your attitude was just now. Zhiluo didn’t even ask for you to accompany her when she went to town.”
“We are no longer in the capital, and you are no longer the heir apparent of Cui Guogong. Your status is different. You cannot compare everything with the past, and don’t think about the past. Living a good life is the most important thing.”
"Even if you are eighteen years old, if you have a child earlier, I will be worthy of the ancestors of the Cui family."
