Chapter 46

The nine people accepted the invitation and went to wash their faces at the well in front of the pharmacy room. After washing their faces, they all lined up in an orderly line behind the table where Ji Jiu sat, causing her who was not used to strangers to sit and fidget.

 Waiting for a while, Boss Yuan hurried over to greet Ji Jiu with a smile. He informed her of the four people's condition. Ji Jiu asked the boss to give them medicine until they recovered. The boss told her to wait. He's going to give everyone medicine.

 While waiting for medicine Ji Jiu asked their names first. If they were together and she kept calling you, it would be strange.

"Mistress, you can give us a name, sir," replied her coachman. He was afraid his wife would say the wrong thing again.

"I'm asking, you guys just answer. Besides, I'm not your parents, why would I give you names?" Ji Jiu said bluntly, causing the four guards who didn't expect Young Mistress to be so direct to speak so bluntly. If it were normal, they would have laughed at her words.

 The rest of the people listened to Ji Jiu and smiled wryly and began to call out their names.

"My name is Kang Jun, sir," Ji Jiu's carriage driver said first.

"My name is Li Hui," his wife replied.

"As for my eldest child, my name is Kang Jie. The second person's name is Kang Jin. And my daughter's name is Kang Guihua." The father hurriedly introduced. Ji Jiu only nodded in acknowledgment. Then he turned to look at the other four men.

"My name is Yigui. My second younger brother's name is Er Gui. Third Brother, my name is Shan Gui. And Fourth Brother, my name is Si Gui."

"Huh? Are you sure that's your name?" Ji Jiu asked, confused. What's the name of one, two, three, four?

"Of course, Mistress. We were secret guards before and could die at any time. These names are therefore not important." Yi Kui replied deadpanly.

"Sigh. Okay, I understand. Next time, stay with me and stop talking about life and death. I have a bad heart."

 Yi Kui and his siblings immediately accepted.

"Then you all change your name and use my surname. I'm not very good at names. If you guys are not satisfied, you can tell me. Yi Kui changes to Ji Wenting. Er Kui changes to Ji Baohu. Shan Kui changed into Ji Fanrong. And Si Kui changed to Ji Zhao Gu." Ji Jiu thought of a name and improvised according to her nature. Then she looked at the four people she had named to see if they were satisfied or not.

"We thank the young lady for giving us the name." The four of them greeted Ji Jiu and answered in a loud voice that made her startled.

"You guys like it, that's good. From now on, you better heal your body before you talk to me about work. As for your family, you don't have to worry. I will divide the work according to your expertise. With me there will be no rules like in the old mansion where you all lived. There aren't many rules for living with me. That is, don't disobey orders, don't kneel. Don't nag me. If I have something to say, I'll say it myself. Do you understand?" Ji Jiu hurriedly told her her agreement. For fear that they would bother her too much.

 Everyone accepted what Ji Jiu said. After talking for a while, they already knew what the new mistress's personality was like. Luckily, at least she didn't punish them when she was angry like she had with the nobles. They came first.

 Boss Yuan and Xiao Guo carried packets of medicine and handed them out to the four people who were still injured. and tells you how to use medicine to clean wounds, medicine to apply, and medicine to prevent wound inflammation. Ji Jiu asked Boss Yuan for the cost of the medicine. But Boss Yuan didn't accept it. He said that this time Ji Jiu had taken him on a free trip all day. Just a little medicine he could give her. Ji Jiu could only thank Boss Yuan and excused himself to go home first. By now, Aunt Qiao and Uncle Yu are probably worried about her.

 Ji Jiu had the Kang family carry her cart and basket onto a donkey cart, and also had Li Hui and his daughter come and sit in the carriage with her. Kang Jie drove the donkey cart with Kang Jin, Ji Baohu, Ji Fanrong, and Ji Zhaogu sat in the back of the donkey cart. Ji Wenting rode along with Ji Ji's carriage.

 Ji Jiu gave Kang Jun a rough idea of the way. Luckily, there was only one road to Hun He Village. Li Hui sat down with his mistress and returned the change for clothes and mattresses to Ji Jiu, 35 taels, 850 Yi Pae. Ji Jiu took the money and asked for the price of the mattress she was buying. She could only get a headache from her mistress's stinginess. Li Hui

 Ji Jiu told her seriously. Next time if she gives money to buy things, don't have to save for her. She said from the beginning to choose the best thing for them to use comfortably. Where do you buy all the rough clothes? Not enough to choose a thin set of bedding that didn't even provide warmth, Ji Jiu said that next time she wouldn't have to take responsibility for buying things for others. She will handle it herself.

 Li Hui heard this and shed tears. She hurriedly apologized to Ji Jiu and said that she would improve herself. She was afraid that Ji Jiu would sell her family out because she was thinking of you again.

 Ji Jiu saw her crying and his head ached. She said she could stop crying. She doesn't like weak people. It was just a small matter, and she didn't take responsibility for it because she didn't want others to suffer because of Li Hui's stinginess. Ji Jiu explained her idea of treating everyone equally.

 Li Hui listened and bowed his head to assure Ji Jiu that she truly understood. Ji Jiu stopped talking about the matter that made her upset. Then she explained that there was still her close cook at home, Aunt Qiao, and her daughter, Auntie Yu. If you get there, talk to them nicely. They are not slaves. But it was the person she hired to cook food and help take care of the house. Everyone in the carriage immediately accepted her words.
