Butterfly [The Great Austrian Woman Version]

Although the ox cart is slow, it is very stable. Coming down from the mountain, it is actually a very flat road. I have to feel the foresight of people in this era.If you want to get rich, build roads first.Lai Fang thought of the procession winding through the mountains the day the general left.Lai Fang looked at the happy A Yuan, and Yu Xumo who was thinking about things alone. After a few times of tossing and turning in his heart, he asked in a low voice, "A Yuan, what is the conversion method for this currency?" A Yuan looked at his lady in surprise , Yu Xumo also stopped his thoughts and looked at Lai Fang. If they could see through, they would see that the whip of the horse outside also paused.

"Miss, you~" A Yuan glared at Lai Fang bitterly. Not long after the young lady returned home, she entrusted her with all the money.At that time, she was so moved that she was willing to go all out for Miss's trust.I don't know, it turns out that the lady has no idea at all.A Yuan picked up her shattered girl's heart, took out the copper coins, scattered silver, silver coins, silver cakes, and silver coins, and lined them up.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "One copper coin is one penny; one hundred copper coins is one penny; Gold cake, you can't see it for the time being."

Lai Fang went through it in his mind, and it was easy to understand. Anyway, it is a decimal system, so don't make a catty that is 16 taels.As for the purchasing power, just observe slowly on the road, and don't need to scare them by speaking out. "Well, how much is my fief, 8000 shi?" This question didn't make A Yuan roll her eyes. She thought about it carefully and said, "Thirty thousand shi is grain, but it's usually converted into silver. About one shi is one tael." Silver, calculated according to 'Gong Si Min Liu', you get about [-] taels a year."

"What does 'Gong Si Min Liu' mean? Taxes? It's not a lot of money." Lai Fang compared all his net worth, and felt that the reward of [-] shi, which she hadn't looked at at the beginning, was a real thing.

"Tax payment? You mean 'a piece of money'? You counted too much, but there are not many left." A Yuan carefully collected the money and shook her head at the young lady's innocence.

Lai Fang said in amazement, "I'm saving money by myself. Why don't I have a few left? I have a lot of money." A Yuan stroked her sleeves, straightened her waist, and said with a sweet smile, "Miss, you can order me around." I'm used to it, and I don't care about it with you, but you have to pay all the wages of all the warriors in your territory. Also, it's not certain how much money will go to you, and it's not certain who will pay whom. Otherwise, why do you think the second miss is rushing to inspect the territory in this winter." There is a lot of knowledge here, miss, you can learn it slowly.

Lai Fang sensed something, and closed his eyes to think for a long time.Although Yu Xumo's family is also an aristocrat, he knows little about this matter, and he knows a little about the housekeeper's affairs, but his sister and mother have always worried about these outside matters.After listening to Ah Yuan's words, he also became more attentive, listened carefully, and pondered by himself.Seeing that the air in the car was stagnant, Lai Fang took out her accounting booklet again, daubed it, and Yu Xumo was thinking about it with a kettle filled with hot water, so he simply opened the window on her side to let the air through. breathable.

A gust of humid air with a salty taste rushed towards her face, and it was so damp and cold that even she, who was not afraid of the cold, shivered.She subconsciously looked at A Yuan and Yu Xumo, who were afraid of the cold, A Yuan kept his own account and didn't pay attention to the changes in the carriage.Yu Xumo glanced at Lai Fang and the outside of the window, then nodded, indicating that he didn't care.In fact, he seldom goes out. If he hadn't been afraid of the cold and worried about his image, he would have been lying on the window to watch.

Seeing that they didn't care, Lai Fang half leaned out and leaned against the window frame, taking a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery in front of him.On the winding mountain road, on the outside of the road is the low sea. The road is not wide, and they walked on the outside, as if flying in the air above the sea.Snow fell on the mountain, but there was no snow below the mountain. It seems that the temperature and climate are slightly different on the mountain and below.She leaned out again, and saw the driver Arima and the road ahead.It seems to have been extending along the coastline, Lai Fang raised the corner of his mouth, thinking, this is the Binhai Avenue, and the ancients really knew how to enjoy it.In fact, she is still a little out of touch with reality, and how could she know that the mountain road can only follow the trend.

When Laifang leaned out, Arima looked back and saw that she was just looking at the scenery without giving any orders, so he let her go.Fearing that Lai Fang would not get used to the height difference, he drove the carriage slightly inward.Anyway, this is winter, and few people go up the mountain, even if they walk in the middle, it doesn't matter.It's just that she likes to walk close to the side of the road. Thinking about whether she is driving for the lady and her side room now, it is better to be safe. It's not that she is not sure about her skills, but she doesn't understand the lady's personality.She also didn't know why the job of driving the car for Miss Fourth fell on her head. Thinking about what the courtyard manager explained, she squinted her eyes in doubt, unable to think of a reason.

This ox cart is slow, so you have to be more careful when driving, because Arima is very familiar with the road, and this speed is almost drowsy.She waved the whip, and the whip drew a beautiful line in the air. The whip only landed on the cow's ear, and there was a crisp snap, and the cow kept walking. That's it.If you look closely, you can see that the horse's whip is whipped left and right on the side of the cow's ears, and the distance is as precise as comparing with a ruler.Arima yawned, but the whip still accurately arrived at the intended landing point, as if it was alive.

You Ma thought, this is more than 1000 miles to Edo, it only takes a few days to ride a horse, and ten days to sail a boat, why bother driving an ox cart?This is not much faster than the walking speed of a grown woman.There are so many horses in the mansion, and they are really just waiting to be fattened up in winter, why can't they get four or five horses out evenly.Thinking about the people who have never been out of the car, it is difficult to enforce the order and ban, and it will take a month less.Even though she has a calm personality, she can't stand the boring journey. Why did such an errand fall on her.She carefully thought about whether she had missed the last few missions or left a tail. After thinking for a long time, she shook her head confidently.After all, what does it mean to be in charge?

Of course, Lai Fang didn't know what Arima was thinking. It was a rare time for her to come out, and it was the first time she went out, so it was somewhat new.What she thinks now is that ox carts also have the benefits of ox carts. Walking slowly, not to mention being careful, she can still take a good look at the scenery and cultural customs along the way.I don't know how long this journey will take, but it will take ten days and half a month, right?When she arrives in Edo, she probably has a good understanding of the things on the ground.

Lai Fang twitched his lips, remembering the question he asked Ah Yuan. "Is there a way to have a safe abortion?" After getting an affirmative answer, her heart became more stable.Think about it, a woman who has status and status and already has two grown-up daughters who can inherit the family business, why take the risk and give birth to a child whose gender cannot be predicted at the age of 40? 40 years old, in modern times, can be considered a high-risk pregnant woman, not to mention the current medical conditions are far inferior.The woman who gave her life regards her life more than her own life. This is maternal love, and at the moment, it is also the foundation of her life.Lai Fang closed her eyes, thinking of her own mother, who was also at this age, who exchanged her own life for her birth. Maternal love, for Lai Fang, was too great and too heavy.And in this life, she felt it again, and this feeling was very strange.It seemed that time and space overlapped, and parallel spaces intersected, which made her a little confused.

Putting my hands on my chest, I just felt the heart beating very powerfully inside, and suddenly my nose was sore, it's good to be alive.Even if forced to pay the price of other people's lives, I still feel so emotional.In the previous life, she also felt deeply guilty for this, and in this life, it is the same.It's great to be alive, but this emotion also makes her feel guilty and heavy.

Yu Xumo also looked at the scenery through the gap that was not covered by Lai Fang's body, and felt that it was only a few months, but it seemed as long as a lifetime.The danger of that night is still vivid in his mind, and it has become his nightmare for the past few months, but now he is alive and well, heading to Edo, and he can even see his mother, father and sister.People's fate is really unpredictable, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not yet, only today is in your hands.He raised his hand and pressed his heart, feeling the beating power, and it was this power that supported him to this day.

Suddenly, he saw Lai Fang doing the same thing.The heartbeat under the palm suddenly became chaotic.Yu Xumo felt that his heart, like a dry well, was gushing out water and gradually overflowing.He closed his eyes in resistance, but his eyelashes fluttered rapidly.

The sound of "pa" interrupted Yu Xumo's entanglement, his concealed hands clenched the water bottle that was not much warm, A Yuan closed the account book, stretched his waist, "Phew, finally it's all done. Lai Fang also turned to look at her. "Miss, I've never gone out. I don't know how much I should spend on accommodation, meals, travel expenses, and consumption, and I don't know if the money is enough."

Lai Fang pointed at the driving position, "This is not a ready-made teacher, just go and ask for advice." A Yuan curled his lips in a rare way and said, "I don't want it."

"why?"

Ah Yuan didn't answer, just put away the account book, obviously avoiding the question.

"Just because they are called 'Youma'? But you are actually riding in a bullock cart?" Lai Fang teased her, and Yu Xumo couldn't help laughing.

"Miss? You~ Master Mei, even you make fun of me." A Yuan rubbed her back molars, wishing she could bite them both.

"Ha, hahaha!" Lai Fang laughed heartily, staring at the two people in the car dumbfounded. Lai Fang looks easy-going and practical but always makes people feel that they are thousands of miles away. When she smiles, others feel the distance Much closer. "You don't go, I'll go, I just go out to get some air." Before Ah Yuan and Yu Xuma came back to their senses, Lai Fang had already closed the window swiftly, opened the door again, and sat beside Arima.

Arima gripped the whip subconsciously, and she didn't realize it until Laifang sat down comfortably in front of the carriage, turned around and closed the sliding door. "Miss, you, it's very windy here, it's not your identity that should come here, so please~"

Lai Fang didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and said bluntly, "I have something to ask you!"
