Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 651 Return Preparations (2)
At night, the fishing village located in the northern outskirts of Kyoto has been plunged into darkness.Every family rested early, but for them, today may be a sleepless night. The final outcome of the Lu family's affairs was beyond everyone's expectations. Even if she is divorced, there is nothing to say, this kind of woman who is prone to flirtatiousness should actually be kicked out, what do you care about her life and death?

But Lu Jin didn't do that, so many years of painstaking efforts were spent on Yu Shi, and before Yu Shi left, Yu Damin came to knock on the door, asking for 5000 taels of silver.That's 5000 taels!They have never had to worry about food and drink all their lives. These simple fishermen usually come into contact with copper coins the most. Only those with better conditions can save up some scattered silver. This is the first time I have seen silver tickets. Everyone in the room passed it on and read it, and now they are still beating excitedly, thinking to themselves, those two ladies who came to the fishing village are really rich and generous, and they took out 5000 taels of silver bills without blinking their eyes. , How good it would be if this silver belonged to them.

After Mrs. Yu left, Lu Jin did not stay idle. He tidied up things at home, and was about to leave anyway. Some pots and pans at home, rice noodles left in the rice tank, seasonings, and even firewood in the firewood room were all cleaned up. Come out and prepare to give it to the more difficult folks at home.

After the rain stopped, Qingli and Shen Bingyu rested in the carriage. Looking at the weather, tomorrow should be a sunny day. Since it is too late to go to the academy, it is better to go to the sea and wait until around noon to leave the fishing village and return to their own village. One day, but being able to invite Lu Jin is worth it no matter how you look at it.

One night, Qingli didn't sleep well, probably because she was at the seaside and always felt the cool wind, so she covered herself with a thick quilt given by Aunt Zhang's family.It has been raining for two days, and there is a little moisture on the quilt. I just felt that I slept more comfortably, and it was dawn.

The weather is gloomy today, and it may rain even more depending on the weather. The wind and waves on the seaside are very strong. In this kind of weather, it is easy to capsize the boat, and it is still impossible to go to sea.Qingli shook her head regretfully, since she didn't want to delay any longer, after breakfast, she and Shen Bingyu waited in the carriage for Lu Jin to bid farewell to the blind date.

The coachman had already set up the carriage, leaving a space for Lu Jin on the front frame. He had already reached the gate of the small courtyard of Lu's house. Almost all the villagers in the village went to the gate to see him off, and everyone looked sad. , everyone formed a circle, and you said one sentence, and I talked one sentence at a time.

"Sister Li, we live and eat for free in the Zhang family for two days, and the Zhang family's aunt is also nice, should we save something?"

Shen Bingyu pondered for a while, this time a few people came, only brought those banknotes, and gave them all to Yu Damin to take away, this time I didn't expect to use these silver, most of them brought medicinal materials, now there is only a little money in the purse She felt a little overwhelmed with the scattered silver pieces.

"Well, I left 100 taels of silver notes under the pillow on the bed."

Qingli drank a cup of tea, originally thinking of keeping a century-old ginseng, but it was not because she was not generous enough, it was because it was too conspicuous. Old man Zhang used to be a doctor, so he must know the value of a century-old ginseng. After thinking about it, why not give it away? Some money.

The two chatted for a while. Here, Lu Jin had already said his final farewell. The people in the village came to the door empty-handed, and everyone carried things from the Lu family. Finally, Lu Jin locked the courtyard door and greeted Qing Li. He saluted with Shen Bingyu, and then sat side by side with the driver in the carriage.

Although the weather was gloomy, but luckily it didn't rain, the coachman drove the carriage with enough food and drink, and galloped all the way. At noon, he arrived at his own village. Qingli asked the village head to arrange a small yard for Lu Jin in the front yard. Zhuangshang temporarily stayed for two days, waiting for the next step to make arrangements.

As soon as Qingli returned to her small courtyard, Du Juan greeted her from inside with a smile. She prepared hot water and waited for her lady to wash up. She guessed that the weather would clear up and the lady should also come back from the fishing village, so she went to the academy first in the morning Notified.

"Du Juan, over there at the academy, can you ask for leave for me?"

Qingli stood in the bathroom and rinsed. Knowing that Du Juan was doing things safely, she still asked, the water temperature was just right, and it was so comfortable to wash on her body. From the fishing village, she felt the fishy wind blowing by the sea, and she was about to die. I picked up a salted fish.

"Miss, the academy has already asked for leave for you. The maidservant said that you are not feeling well. It is raining and you are suffering from the wind and cold. Miss Shui and Miss Zhao also greeted you a few times."

Du Juan smiled and handed Qing Li a bath bean, Hong Dou was also getting ready for a change of clothes, the two exchanged winks, neither of them mentioned anything about Ye Xun, they waited for dinner and gave the lady a huge surprise.

"Well, the cold is a good excuse. In order not to infect those delicate ladies, I'd better ask for a few more days off."

Qingli made excuses for herself, and said to herself that she has nothing to learn from the things taught in the academy recently, so she went to meet up.

After washing, Du Juan handed over a fine cotton towel to help Qingli wipe her body, and Red Bean helped her twist her hair. She didn't sleep well all night, and the carriage on the return journey was bumpy. She was very tired now, her eyes were squinted, and her face was tired.

"Miss, the servants have not been to the fishing village on the outskirts of Beijing, how about there?"

Dujuan picked a bouquet of flowers with dew from the yard, put them in a thin porcelain vase with a gold-plated rim, and put them on the small table beside the bed. Seeing that her young lady had a faint look of tiredness on her face , she squatted down and lightly beat Qingli's leg.

"What's the matter? It's very backward over there."

Before going there, Qingli never thought that it would be so poor there, because modern fishermen still make a lot of money, not to mention a lot of money, it is no problem to eat well.This time I went to a fishing village on the outskirts of Beijing, and there were low adobe houses blown by the sea breeze, with cracks and mottled marks on the walls. Most fishermen are not rich, and those who can have a house by the sea are considered living conditions For those who are better, they can drill a well at home, which is convenient for drinking water.

There are also many families whose grandparents lived and ate at sea. The only thing most valuable in the family is a dilapidated fishing boat. If it is rainy or stormy, they cannot go to sea, and naturally they will have no income. Going to sea to fish may not be a lot of fishing. More income depends on the situation of fish harvested by hawkers from Kyoto, because Kyoto is close to the sea, and the price of fish in the sea is cheap. You can buy a catty with a few copper coins, and the price of fish collected is even lower.

The main consumers are still the people in Kyoto. The weather is so hot that these fish cannot be transported out, so they can only be made into dried fish, but the taste of dried salted fish is not very good, and the ones sold in Fengyang, Northland are not very good. , so every household is still living a difficult life. If the fish can be made into grilled fish fillets and the squid can be made into shredded squid, it can be preserved. Maybe it can be eaten everywhere in Dazhou. However, although Qingli liked it very much in her previous life, but She can't do it, and needs to study it.
