Abandoned

"Don't you think it's strange that a person treats you well for no reason?" Chia Ya asked Wen Zhu, which was also the doubt in her heart all the time.

"But Niangniang is a powerful empress dowager, Niangniang has everything she needs, so what can she do for you?" Wen Zhu asked back.

Chia Ya was speechless when she heard this, and this was why she couldn't figure it out. Yes, what could Xiao Jiuzheng do for herself?

"In short, I won't go back." Chia Ya said with a very sure tone.

"Miss, you need to save some money. The silver has been almost spent, and there is only one 50 taels of gold ingot left. For ordinary people, this is a lot of money, but for a lady with a background like , without spending money.” Wen Zhuyu said earnestly, the young lady’s clothing, food, housing and transportation must be first-class, and the expenses along the way are not cheap at all, and if you help the poor, it is really a waste of money. "I see."

Chia Ya responded softly, she used to have a life without worrying about food and clothing, but now she has to shrink down and go on a diet. Thinking about it, she can't help but sigh.

"Miss, don't worry, with our 50 taels of gold, we can still live a good life with careful management." Wenzhu comforted Chia very optimistically.Qian Ya looked at Wen Zhu and thought to herself, Wen Zhu must not know that a single piece of clothing for her might cost fifty gold.

"In the future, money matters will be up to you." Chia Ya also knew that she didn't know the sufferings of the world, and was also worried that she would spend all her money, so she decided to hand over the financial power to Asparagus.

"How can this be done, you are Miss..." Wenzhu felt that it was inappropriate for her to direct how to spend the money as a servant.

"I don't have much idea about money. I don't know whether things are expensive or cheap. I leave it to you to decide, so that I won't be cheated." Since she was a child, she didn't carry money with her. She usually buys things Everything was bought by Ting'er. Everyone knew that she was the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, and no one dared to ask for extravagant prices.Today is different from the past, she is no longer a young lady, holding tens of taels of money in her hand, if she spends all of it, she and Wenzhu will be penniless, and they will probably end up on the streets.

"Okay then, I will keep the money." Wen Zhu also felt that her young lady is not good at managing money, she never asks the price when she buys things, she is really not good at living.In the next few days, Chia Ya's standard of living suddenly dropped by a notch. Although she knew that Wenzhu was shrinking her clothes and dieting to make plans for the future, Chia Ya, who had always been pampered and pampered, was still not used to it, but she didn't say anything, she knew I have to gradually get used to this kind of life, perhaps the more difficult ones are yet to come.Although Wenzhu and Ting'er have very different personalities, she can feel that Wenzhu Dao is also protecting and serving her wholeheartedly, and she has truly experienced the life of a commoner, and can bargain for a penny for a long time.Chia Ya was not used to it at first, but later seeing asparagus with a contented and happy look after bargaining, Chia Ya couldn't bear to talk about her.After all, asparagus and her are now dependent companions, not just servants, but often, she treats asparagus as Tinger, and thinking of Tinger dying to protect herself, the feeling of wanting to make up for Tinger is projected onto her. Asparagus body.Ting'er is much more restrained than Wenzhu, Wenzhu is just like herself, and she often puts emotions on her face. She can be happy for a penny all morning, and it seems easier to be satisfied.Later Chia Ya discovered that not only asparagus is easy to be satisfied, but ordinary people are also easy to be satisfied.Later, Wenzhu told her that ordinary people can live for a year with one tael of silver, and one mu of land can be bought with five or six taels of silver. These are things that Chia Ya did not know before.Everything is a new experience, except for the grief in the dead of night, in fact, Chia Ya feels that her current time is like being reborn, sometimes she forgets that her name is Dugu Chia, and she can’t even be called Dugu Chia in the future, after all, Dugu Chia is known all over the world The deposed queen who has been given death.

After walking for another ten days, they finally arrived in Anping County.

Qianya looked at the old city walls of Anping County, but the new city gates, that feeling of familiarity and strangeness, knowing that Anping County has long since changed, but Qianya still had a feeling of anticipation and apprehension, Some dare not enter the city gate, because she knows that after entering, the inexplicable expectations will be shattered.

"Miss, what's the matter?" Seeing that Chia Ya hesitated, Wen Zhu asked with concern.

"It's okay." Chia replied softly.Chia Ya mustered up the courage to walk into the most familiar places in her memory. The streets are still the same as before, but most of the people are unfamiliar faces.Most of the dignitaries in Anping County that Qian Ya is familiar with, followed the Dugu family and Li Junhao to revolt, and most of them were divided into feudal officials. There are very few of them.Even if they are all familiar faces to Chia Ya, it will not help Chia Ya.Anping County is still Anping County, but it is no longer the Anping County of Dugu's family, and it is not the current Qianya Anping County.

Looking at the place where she was born and grew up, it seems familiar, but it is more unfamiliar, which makes Qian Ya feel lost.

Relying on her own impression, Qian Ya quickly found the former General Dugu's Mansion, but now there are only burnt wrecks left, with overgrown grass, broken walls and ruins, very dilapidated.Looking at this heart-piercing scene, Chia broke down in tears again.Seeing Wen Zhu kneeling on the ground and crying into tears, she knew she had guessed right, her young lady was once Dugu and abandoned, thinking about it, she felt that her young lady was the most miserable person in the world, and she was a general The most beloved daughter of her husband, who used to be a queen, is now reduced to a homeless person. Even thinking about it makes me feel sad, so I can see how sad the young lady is.

"Miss, it will be fine, everything will be fine..." Wen Zhu also knelt beside Chia Ya, and said comfortingly.Chia Ya knew that she couldn't be worse, and now she was the worst.But after crying this time, Chia Ya felt a little more relaxed than before, and let go of her grief more or less.

After staying in the Anping County inn for a few days, Qianya planned to buy the land of Dugu's family and rebuild it, but was told that the land belonged to the government and could not be bought or sold.For this reason, Chia Ya had to give up this idea. 50 taels of gold is equivalent to more than 400 taels of silver, about five taels per mu of land. Asparagus plans to buy 30 mu of land, buy a few cows, and then spend about 50 taels to buy a small house, and then buy another The maid for the meal, the boy who guards the door, that’s about it, leaving [-] taels for living expenses.Wenzhu talked to Chia Ya about his future life plan, and Chia Ya had no objection, so Wenzhu went to the local Yaren to see where there was land for sale.

Now is the prosperous age, most of them live and work in peace and contentment, and they generally don’t know how to sell land, especially [-] mu of land is not too small, so the land is not easy to buy now.However, there was a Cai Yuanwai who wanted to sell his land, and his land happened to be near the mountain of Qingfengguan, with a total of [-] mu, most of which were leased to Qingfengguan for farming.Because it is a female Taoist temple, it is not possible to rent a good price. In a good year, Qingfeng Temple will rent it in time. If the harvest is not good, Qingfeng Temple often defaults on money and food, but Cai Yuanwai has no choice but to sell Qingfeng Temple. , don't worry.The locals know this situation, and they will not buy this land. After all, the price is not cheap, and there will be a lot of troubles in the future.

After Yaren talked about the situation with Qianya and Wenzhu, both Qianya and Wenzhu felt that they could buy it. It doesn’t matter if the rent is less, the main reason is that this large piece of land is connected together, which is easy to manage, unlike others, which are sold loosely. One or two acres is too scattered.They originally planned to buy [-] acres, but Mr. Cai needed them to buy all [-] acres before he would sell.So they gritted their teeth and bought all the seventy acres, but Cai Yuanwai gave them a gift. Last year, Qingfengguan still owed him a foreign debt of fifteen shi for rice and grain.

Buying an extra ten mu of land was more than the budget. At present, they only had more than 60 taels of silver on hand. If they wanted to buy a house, a maid, and a servant, it would be a bit stretched.So Wenzhu could only find ways to save money, for example, instead of buying a house in the city, they directly built a house on the 20 mu of land they bought, with a budget of [-] taels, which can save ten taels of silver, and then go to Qingfengguan to ask for debts.Asparagus thought about it, before the house was built, if Qingfengguan didn't return the [-] shi of grain, she and her young lady would depend on Qingfengguan for food and lodging, and save the cost of eating and lodging in the inn, which could save another year. big money.

Chia Ya found out that her little maid is really good at living with careful planning.

The author has something to say: Xiao Jiuzheng: It's obviously court language, why did it suddenly become Tian language?That asparagus, don't be so capable, don't give me a chance to play!
