Abandoned

After more than two months, their house has been completed.Because in Anping County, we only know the female crowns of Qingfeng Taoist Temple, so Wen Zhu invited the Taoist nuns of Qingfeng Taoist Temple to celebrate in their newly built green brick and tile house on the day they moved to their new home.

The green brick and tile house cost them a total of more than 70 taels, which was beyond the budget, but Wenzhu was very satisfied with the magnificent new residence.

Chia Ya thinks that once the house is built, it’s fine to move in, and there’s nothing too particular about it, but Wenzhu insists on entertaining guests to warm the house, saying that life will be prosperous in this way.Qian Ya is not good at socializing, even though she invited a dozen or so nuns, it was basically Wenzhu who was entertaining and entertaining, as if she was half the master.Wenzhu now has three more subordinates, and he regards himself as the housekeeper under the young lady.

A few days before the house was built, they spent 13 taels of silver to buy a pair of husband and wife servants who were about forty years old, plus their ten-year-old daughter.They were originally domestic slaves of officials and eunuchs. Because the original master was dismissed from office, and the population was not prosperous, the family was in decline, and they could not support too many servants, so they sold some of the family slaves.Due to the difficult conditions of most families, the life expectancy is generally not long. The slaves in their forties are not considered young, and the daughters are too young, so most people are reluctant to buy slaves who are too old or too young.

The manservant looked very strong, some people were willing to buy the manservant alone, the girl was rather pretty, and some wanted to buy their daughter alone, but the wife didn’t look very healthy, so no one was willing to buy it.The family was unwilling to separate, so they begged the original owner to let the three of them sell to the same family.The original owner was grateful for their husband and wife's love for his family for many years, so he agreed to them.It's just that no one is willing to buy the three of them at the same time, and the original owner has no choice but to sell them one by one, when Chia Ya and Asparagus just appeared.They bought their family of three at a price of 13 taels.The family of three was not separated, and they are very grateful to Chia and Asparagus.The male servant is called Ah Shun, Wenzhu calls him Uncle Shun, his wife Mrs. Shun, and the daughter is called Qun'er.

Uncle Shun has to do any rough work on weekdays. As for sister-in-law Shun, who is not in good health, she is only responsible for cooking and cleaning the house, and ordinary people can also help.Asparagus plays the role of housekeeper and Qianya's personal maid, dealing with rented land and hired farmers, what is missing in the house, what to buy, big and small matters are decided by Asparagus, and Uncle Shun will help.

Because Wenzhu is too capable, and the other three servants are also doing their best, Chia Ya doesn't have to worry about anything, as long as it is arranged in front of the master.She has a lot of time to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not to mention, in the past two or three months, she has improved a lot in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Once, by accident, she discovered that Qun'er was talented in reading and writing. When she was bored, she taught Qun'er to read and write, and even taught some martial arts.

Xiao Jiuzheng has been in Anping County for three to five days, and she doesn't know what excuse to find Chia Ya so as not to feel awkward, so she didn't go directly to Chia Ya.For the past three to five days, she also lived in Qingfeng Temple first, and lived in the room where Qianya lived before, and gave Su Qingchen a piece of 50 taels of silver.

Xiao Jiuzheng also worshiped in Qingfengguan when she was a girl, Su Qingchen also had a relationship with Xiao Jiuzheng a few times, Xiao Jiuzheng is also like Qianya, and she is also an unforgettable woman.So Su Qingshen knew Xiao Jiuzheng's identity, but Xiao Jiuzheng didn't reveal his identity, so Su Qingshen pretended not to recognize him. It was just strange. Recently, Qingfengguan Fengshui specially recruited the queen. The empress dowager came in again just after the forefoot moved away. .But they are all the God of Wealth, Su Qingchen did not dare to neglect, and served him wholeheartedly.

In the past few days, Xiao Jiucheng has been wandering outside Qianya's new house, the more he cares, the more careful, the more careful, the more restrained he is, the less he dares to see Qianya rashly. Regardless of whether it's abrupt or not, I just want to talk about it after meeting Chia Ya first.

On this day, Wen Zhu took Uncle Shun to the market to buy a few pigs to raise, but it rained heavily and they stayed in the city.

Xiao Jiuzheng couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to see Chia Ya, so she got wet on purpose, and then went to knock on the door of Chia Ya's new house, without maids or guards.

It was Mrs. Shun who opened the door. She saw a wet and beautiful single woman outside.

"What's the matter?" As a servant, Mrs. Shun dared not let anyone in at will.

"It's raining heavily outside, and it's getting late. I passed by here and wanted to stay overnight in shelter from the rain. I wonder if the master's house can take him in?" Xiao Jiuzheng asked softly.

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask my lady." Seeing the extraordinary bearing of the woman in front of her, Mrs. Shun immediately went back to the house to ask Chia Ya for instructions.

"Miss, it is raining heavily outside, and there is a beautiful single woman passing by outside, who wants to take shelter from the rain, do you agree or not?" Sister-in-law Shun asked when she came to Qian Ya's house, at the moment Qian Ya was teaching the group to read.

"All right." Chia Ya agreed when she heard that she was a single woman.

When Mrs. Shun came out again, she took Xiao Jiuzheng into the yard.

Xiao Jiuzheng looked at the structure of the courtyard. This house should be considered good for ordinary people, but it is too small for the imperial palace or even Dugu Mansion.

Sister-in-law Shun took a cloth and wiped Xiao Jiuzheng's body, which was a little wet.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I am very grateful to the host family for taking me in. Can I thank your lady personally?" Xiao Jiuzheng asked. She had been in for a while, but there was no sign of Chia Ya.

"Ma'am, please forgive me. My lady doesn't hesitate to meet strangers." Xiao Jiuzheng was dressed as a married woman, so Shun's sister-in-law was called Mrs. Xiao Jiuzheng. At first glance, she knew that she was not the wife of an ordinary family, but it was strange that she was alone, and there was no one to serve her. It always feels inappropriate.

Although Mrs. Shun's family has not been bought for a long time, Mrs. Shun is also a meticulous person. She knows a thing or two about Chia Ya's character from Wenzhu's narration and her own observations.She was originally a servant of an official family. Before her original master fell, all the guests she came and went were either rich or noble. Therefore, looking at her elegant posture, she knew that she was also a young lady of an extremely wealthy family. Some details were even more important than her original master's. pay attention to.

Xiao Jiuzheng was not surprised by Chia Ya's personality, but he didn't expect that he and Chia Ya were already under the same roof, but they still couldn't see each other.

"Then don't disturb Miss Gui." Xiao Jiuzheng said with regret.

"We'll have dinner later, maybe we'll see you." Mrs. Shun said with relief.

At night, when it was almost time to eat, Chia Ya remembered that a female guest had come to her house. Although she didn't like to meet strangers, she still wanted to show her friendship as a landlord.

"What about the female guest?" Chia Ya asked Mrs. Shun who came in to refill tea.

"I'm resting in the guest room. When Miss is eating, I'll ask her to eat with me." Mrs. Shun replied truthfully.

"Add one or two more dishes later, after all, the visitor is a guest." Chia Ya ordered to Sister-in-law Shun.

"Okay." After Madam Shun finished speaking, she went back to the kitchen to cook two more dishes, and then asked Chia Ya to eat.

"Then let the guests come out for dinner together." Chia Ya sat on the main seat, waiting for the guests to come out.

"My lady is waiting for my wife to eat." Sister-in-law Shun went to invite Xiao Jiuzheng.

When Xiao Jiuzheng heard that Chia Ya was waiting for him to eat, he felt very nervous all of a sudden, and at the same time looked forward to it. He didn't know how Chia Ya would react when he saw him next time.
