Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Servant's Quarter of the Cottage

There was silence in the courtyard, Zhao Qianqian returned to the house, took out the computer from his backpack, and prepared to study whether there were any jewelry deposits.

There are more options in financial management, which she has never checked, and Zhao Qianqian wants to see if there is no option to save jewelry.

Click on more, there is a convenience store inside, and the store has three options: sales, pawnshop and redemption.

Under the sales option, there are all kinds of snacks, clothes, shoes, socks, sanitary napkins, accessories and other daily necessities, Zhao Qianqian has no demand for this for the time being, so he decisively turned off the option.

There are three options in the pawnshop item: clothing, jewelry, and more.

Zhao Qianqian took out the jewelry in his backpack, put two gold hairpins inlaid with bean-sized emerald green agate, and entered the quantity two in the pawnshop jewelry item, and a prompt appeared in the system: "Do you confirm that you should drop two gold hairpins with three gold inlaid agate?"

Click "Confirm", the system will appear the unit price, 50 taels of silver each, a total of 100 taels, is it confirmed?

Click Confirm, and the system prompts the transaction amount to be 100 taels of silver.

Wearing jewelry on the body is nothing more than showing identity, Zhao Qianqian never cares about these false names.

Grabbed a handful of jewelry and threw it into the backpack, and the system prompted a first-grade pearl, quantity three, silver sixty taels, second-grade pearls, quantity five, silver seventy-five taels, gold inlaid jade pendant, quantity five, silver ninety taels, three gold-inlaid agate gold hairpins, one hundred and fifty taels, a total of two hundred and seventy-five taels of silver.

Click Confirm, do you want to confirm it?

Click Confirm to complete the transaction.

Zhao Qianqian put the rest into the backpack and deposited it.

The pawnshop's income is automatically transferred to change by default, because there are still a large number of treasures that have not been deposited, so Zhao Qianqian did not check the total deposit amount.

..

On the other side, Shen Junchen did not receive the holy decree, but his mother, Mrs. Shen, Xue Shi.

Except for Shen Junchen, everyone in the Shen Mansion is full of joy.

It is a great honor to marry a prime minister who is below one person and above ten thousand, and it is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.

The Xue family stretched out his hand to receive the holy decree, and Shen Junchen suddenly spoke: "The minister is a martial artist, he doesn't know how to cherish the jade of his neighbors, and he can't climb the daughter of the prime minister's family, and I hope that Your Majesty will take back his life."

Xue withdrew his hand, turned his head and said angrily: "What a great honor it is to be able to take the prime minister's daughter, and it is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes, you don't know what to do, this time I can't help you."

"Mother wants to take her to marry, but I won't marry." After Shen Junchen finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the Shen Mansion.

"You son of a, come back to me." Xue scolded.

"Resisting the decree is a big crime to kill the head, and the generals of Zhenguo don't take a little credit for themselves, so they will not respect the decree."

Shen Junchen didn't reply, "Father-in-law, please take care of yourself, I won't accept this holy decree."

"Presumptuous, do you dare to resist the order?" Before the father-in-law finished his sentence, Shen Junchen had already left the Shen Mansion.

Gongwen turned to look at the Xue family: "Mrs. Shen, since General Zhenguo does not accept the holy order, our family will go back to the palace to return to the emperor's words."

The Xue family also has no opinion, will this holy decree be accepted or not? Resisting the decree is to kill the head.

"Long live Emperor Xie Wu, long live, long live!" Xue didn't care about 3721, and took the holy decree first.

"After the matter is done, it is time for our family to go back to restore their lives, and Mrs. Shen should discuss the marriage between General Zhenguo and Miss Shangguan with Lord Shangshu as soon as possible!"

Xue got up: "Father-in-law invites a cup of tea in the house, there is a new batch of tea in the house, father-in-law is well-informed, please help father-in-law to see if it is good tea!"

As soon as the father-in-law heard this, he understood the meaning of Xue's words in seconds: "Then our family will be big, go and taste it!"

Xue nodded hurriedly and saluted: "Father-in-law, please!"

Xue personally served a cup of tea.

The father-in-law opened the lid of the cup, a subtle excitement flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "This tea is good, I drank your family's good tea, our family remembers, and our family will go back to the palace to resume their lives."

After the father-in-law left, Xue became an ant on a hot pot.

"Xiao Cui, let's go and see if the old master and the eldest young master have come back?"

"Madam, I'm afraid this hasn't been dispersed yet? Haven't come back yet."

"If you don't come back, won't you go back to see it?"

Xiaocui was a bit of a scoundrel, and it was only a stick of incense, and Madame had already asked her to go out to see it three times.

"Madam, you know the temper of the eldest young master, if he doesn't agree, the master can't do anything about him, you take the holy decree, what if he doesn't marry?"

Xue Shi took a big sip of tea and said, "Isn't it also a rebellion if you don't accept the holy decree?" The head will fall faster, take the holy decree first, and wait for the master to come back before making plans."

It's still early in the morning, and it is estimated that the court has not dispersed yet, Xue Shi was also dizzy, she reached out and rubbed her temples.

"Look at me I'm really dizzy, this time, I'm afraid that the lord hasn't dispersed yet, you go to the palace to guard, and when the lord disperses, let him come back first, and say that there is an urgent matter at home."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xiaocui was ordered to go to the palace to guard, but he didn't guard his master, but he saw the eldest young master coming out of the palace.

Xiao Cui stepped forward and saluted, "Young Master! Go back quickly, Madame is in a hurry."

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Cui lowered her head: "Madame has received the holy decree!"

Shen Junchen said coldly: "Tell Madame, I won't marry, she will find her own way to receive the holy decree, you go back and tell Madame, I am still on business, and I can't go home for half a year."

Xiao Cui hurriedly said, "Young Master, Madam has already received the holy decree, you can't help but marry, you can go back first."

Shen Junchen whistled into the alley, and a sweaty BMW ran majestically from the alley.

Shen Junchen turned over and got on his horse and walked away.

"Young Master! Young Master......

In just a few days, the marriage between Shen Junchen, the general of Zhenguo, and Shangguan Wan'er, the daughter of the prime minister, spread all over the country and became a topic of conversation after dinner.

In the teahouse, Mr. Storyteller had a three-inch tongue, and his words were colorful, and Fan Chen frowned: "What the hell is this stuffy gourd doing, he is not a person who clings to the powerful, is it really this Shangguan Wan'er, as rumored, is it really the first woman in the imperial city who is both talented and beautiful?"

Shen Junchen doesn't care what others say, what he doesn't want to do, the knife is on his neck, he won't agree, because he doesn't care, he doesn't take it to heart, if he is criticized by the world, he lives his life, and he doesn't need to look at other people's faces to live, even if this person is the Ninth Five.

..

On the sixth day of Zhao Qianqian's visit to the cottage, the topographic map of the mountain has been roughly completed.

Hundreds of acres of wasteland have been cultivated, all of which have been planted with wheat and rapeseed.

"Miss Shuang'er, Miss hasn't been out all day, will it be fine?"

Xing'er wanted to enter Zhao Qianqian's room several times, but was stopped by Cheng Shuang.

"It's okay, it's just that these few blew a little wind, contracted the wind cold, and it was okay to sleep well, every time she was infected with the wind cold, she was like this."

Zhao Qianqian drew the location of the last place to build the house, typed out a few drawings, stretched his waist, and closed the computer.

She walked out of the room and said to the two people outside the door, "Let's go, go and change the medicine for Niu Wa, if you change the medicine today, you don't need to change it again."

Xing'er saw Zhao Qianqian coming out, and happily stepped forward, looking up and down: "Miss, are you okay, you have been locked in the house all day, where are you uncomfortable, I will ask the village doctor to show you."

"I'm fine, I'm just infected with the cold, just get some sleep, let's go and lead the way, go to Niu Wa's house."

The day before yesterday, Niu Wa limped over to change the dressing, let him come today, but he didn't come today, thinking about going to the servant's area to have a look, and by the way, he changed the dressing for Niu Wa.

Apricot knocked on the door twice, but no one answered.

The knock on the door alarmed the people in the opposite room, an old woman of sixty or seventy, coming out of the house with a stick.

"Don't knock, Niu Wa and his son went hunting in the back mountain, and the woman in the house couldn't get up, and no one opened the door."

The old woman was staggering, her hands and feet trembling slightly, it was already winter, but she was wearing only one or two single clothes. I don't know if it's shivering with cold or weak.

Zhao Qianqian stepped forward to support the old man: "Old man, it's too cold outside, why did you come out with so little clothing, be careful."

Cool."

"This is the same dress all year round...... You have to wear more clothes, don't you? I'm a lonely old woman, just waiting for death...... I don't know if I'll survive this winter." The old woman's voice was weak, and she waited several times for a sentence to finish.

Zhao Qianqian helped her sit down at the door: "Grandma, is there no one at your house?"

The old woman said, "I am alone at home, my son died, and my grandson went to plant crops outside the village, and I don't know if I will really be able to get grain next year. If he can't get food, he can only follow the owner of the village out of the mountain, otherwise he can only wait to starve to death."

Seeing that she had been shaking badly, Zhao Qianqian got up and wanted to help her into the house, but the old woman refused to go in: "I'm waiting for my grandson to bring me food back, and he will come back in an hour."

Zhao Qianqian asked, "Are you waiting for him to come back and cook for you?" If you're hungry, we can cook it for you."

"What do you take to cook?" He said that there was free food to eat in the farmland, and he couldn't finish it, so he would bring me some back, and I would add some water to boil, and I could eat two meals."

Chengshuang asked, "Won't the cottage give you food?"

"You didn't go out with you to help, how could the cottage send you food? On weekdays, my grandson goes to the mountains to hunt some hares and dig some wild vegetables, so that he can have two meals."

The old man was a little tired, took a breath, and then said, "What are you looking for? His mother was beaten half to death and carried back, they couldn't get up in the house, they couldn't afford to hire a village doctor, they went hunting to get some medicine, Da Niu is a good boy, but it's a pity to find a mother-in-law......

Zhao Qianqian turned to Cheng Shuang and said, "Shuang'er, you go to Erhu and ask him to find someone to send twenty catties of rice, to put it into two bags, and then take a cotton jacket."

After Chengshuang went, Zhao Qianqian helped the old man into the house, but the old man refused, insisting on waiting for her grandson to bring her food back.

Zhao Qianqian asked, "I see that the door of Uncle Niu's house is not locked, can you go in with me to have a look?"

Speaking of the mother of the cow baby, the woman was a little excited: "What is so beautiful about that prostitute, stealing men with a big cow on her back, a stinky and shameless ***, a widow who doesn't lay eggs!"

Zhao Qianqian looked at the houses around here and saw that they were all in tatters, and if it was windy and rainy, I was afraid that there would not be much difference between the inside and the outside.

"Grandma, are these uninhabited? Why are there so many broken houses?"

The old woman glanced at the room opposite, "Why not? The men all went out with the owner of the village to find money, and the women of the house would not get it, and every year during the Chinese New Year, the strong men would come back and cut the grass and repair it, and the thatched house would be able to take care of it for a year, and after a summer, the grass would rot."

Zhao Qianqian said to Xing'er, who was shivering coldly, "Xing'er, let's go see Niu Wa's mother, you go and push the door to see if it's locked."

Xing'er glanced at the door of Niu Wa's house: "Miss, Niu Wa's mother is not a good person, let's not go, she framed you like that, and when you go in, maybe she will have to figure out something."

Zhao Qianqian said: "Uncle Niu is a good person, if she doesn't get up, she will drag Uncle Niu down."

"The girl is right, Da Niu is indeed a good man, but it's a pity that ......," the old woman said and stopped here.

I don't know if she wants to say that it's a pity to be with the wrong person, or to marry the wrong person? Zhao Qianqian didn't ask in detail, only got up and walked towards the door of Niu Wa's house.
