Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 289 Women
Zhao Susu, Xiao Lingyun, Qiuli, Cherry and other servant girls looked at each other in blank dismay, turned around and went to pack their bags, unload the car, and settle down the eight young women who came with the car.

Ah Da sneaked into a nearby teahouse early in the morning to stare at Miss Huan for a while, and at this moment, he saw a few maids and servants talking about Li's family openly. He was even more uncomfortable when he did things on his own and didn't take the Li family seriously.

"I used to..."

Never been so masochistic.

Ah Da came back to his senses, and was immediately bitter by the tea, "Bah bah!"

Looking down, he saw that the tea soup in his cup was terribly muddy, and the guests left and right looked sideways, Ada blushed, and hurriedly lowered his head.

In the tea house, he would bring his own tea bricks and make tea by himself, most of them were fried tea, and he was a good hand in tea distribution. This time he was really ashamed.

Ah Da glanced at the 'Sister Huan' who was sitting leisurely and only drinking plain water, and didn't dare to slander anything.

Gu Xiang turned his eyes back and landed on the house he just bought: "The housing prices in the capital are really scary."

The old dog said that their budget is enough, and it is indeed enough.

Not only when they came to the capital, everyone thought about getting rich from the poor, so they mobilized all the working capital that could be adjusted. On the way, they not only didn't spend much money, but instead earned a lot of money.

Every time I go to county towns, state capitals, post stations and other places, my little lady will sell all kinds of snacks made on the road. Every time I set up a stall, they will all be sold out in a short time. Those businessmen who are traveling, no matter how stingy I couldn't help but want to buy some food.

When passing through Quanzhou, the old dog saw two jars of new wine in their family. The young lady collected and bought a batch of medicinal materials and fruits from a small village passing by. Fruity fruit wine.As a result, when the fruit wine arrived in Quanzhou, an old Taoist from a Taoist temple bought it for a total of [-] guan.

The total cost was 130 Qiwen.

Of course, the labor cost of my little lady still has to be calculated separately.

Not only these serious earners, their good Xue Ying, who is excited when he meets a black shop along the way, and itches his hands when he encounters a fake bandit village. During this journey, the bandits who slaughtered the strong beams are almost innumerable, and the rewards they received from the government added up. Nineteen thousand three hundred taels of silver.

Xueying is a little obsessive-compulsive, feeling uncomfortable looking at the number of 9000 taels. Since the day before yesterday, every time he passed a county town, he couldn’t help but stare at the government’s notice to see which bandit leader’s head is worth 700 taels. Unfortunately, he left For two days, I didn't see the right one in a daze, and I was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment.

Gu Xiang still felt short of money.

She turned her head and her eyes fell on the side of the cart.

Neither Qiu Li nor Cherry dared to disturb Xue Ying, they took over the errand and were responsible for helping the group of women who had just been rescued settle down first.

This job sounds simple, but in fact it is not simple at all.

All the women rescued along the way passed the government, and those who wanted to go home wrote letters. Some were quietly picked up by their family members. Although some family members did not come, they still had expectations. The remaining eight, all It's because they don't even want to say a word to the people in the government. Gu Xiang can tell at a glance that they are probably the daughters of good people, but... I'm afraid they don't have a home anymore.

Gu Xiang couldn't see these before, but now she feels a little uncomfortable seeing them.

In fact, the five senses, especially the sharpened eyes, have many benefits, but also many troubles. At this time, her mood is a little desolate, and she has no place to talk about desolation, and she can't say anything, anyway. It's just a little uncomfortable.

When she first came, she was very happy to be alive, and she didn't care about anything else.

"Little lady."

Qiu Li came over and poured two glasses of water, wiped her mouth heroically, and exhaled, "I'm so angry, I didn't say anything, but the sister who said she was Le'er looked a little bit alive."

"I was puzzled. I told them that the money is enough, and each person can get at least four more than 500 guan. This is six to seven hundred guan. Even in the capital, you can buy a small one in a remote place." House. My parents can’t earn forty guan a year, and they still have to support a large family.”

"If I had so much money, I would be so happy. Look at them, they are all half dead, and they don't say anything when they ask."

Gu Xiang pondered for a while, and asked softly: "In two years, if you and Cherry don't get married, you will have to pay a fine of 200 yuan."

In this dynasty, if a woman does not marry at eighteen, she will be fined two hundred dollars a year.This rule was abolished for a period of time in the early years, and it has been implemented again recently, but it only costs 200 yuan, which is much less than that of the previous dynasty and the beginning of this dynasty.

Qiu Li didn't take this matter to heart at all: "It's only 200 yuan. The little girl Cherry usually likes to be lazy, and she can earn this money after earning two or three days. Who cares about this? Anyway, our sisters will meet soon. I don't want to get married. We want money and have money, we want a house and we have a house, why marry? To serve someone else's family? I'm not stupid, why can't I think about it like that?"

Cherry also laughed and said, "Marrying is to raise a child. Isn't raising a child for retirement? Now that there is a young lady here, there is no need to marry!"

"Old Du and the old couple are quite old, look at how thoughtful the young lady has arranged for him. He can receive a monthly salary every day if he doesn't do anything. The next bunch of young apprentices are attentive and serve him well. He lives well and eats well all year round. Clothes, shoes and hats were given out to the little lady, and I made a lot of money, but I didn't spend it at all. Our old Du, now we are starting to play things that only rich old men can play. We take his wife out to drink tea, and our arms are always Carrying a purse of copper coins, specially prepared, to give to the tea doctor and the shop waiter for rewards, life is very enjoyable."

"My sister and I will also need a young lady to take care of us in the future."

After a moment of conversation, Qiu Li simply dug out the account book and calculated it, which made her dumbfounded: "According to the money we earn now, in five years at most, I can save [-] guan on hand."

Cherry laughed so hard that her teeth could not see her eyes: "So, I think of a funny thing. Didn't we run into a widow on the road? 40 years old, because of the dowry money of 28 yuan, theirs is only [-] years old. The magistrate of the county and several big families in the county competed to marry the widow, and they were all beaten to death."

"If we save [-] guan, we must remember not to reveal the wealth, otherwise the idea of ​​not getting married may make us sisters difficult."

Gu Xiang laughed, and glanced to the side of the carriage, and saw a few women over there quietly raised their heads and looked over quietly, their faces were still anxious, and even more anxious and worried.

But it's much better to show this worry on their faces than the insensitive look just now.

Gu Xiang saw that the old dog had already packed up the bags with someone, then he clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Ladies, it's getting late, let's clean up our houses together, then we will eat and sleep."
