The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Zheng Xiaoyun's divorce letter was delivered half a month later. Apart from the divorce letter, Zheng Xiaoyun did not bring any letters to Xia Mianwan. Although Xia Mianwan had no feelings for Zheng Xiaoyun, she still felt the coldness of this man.

The luggage was packed early in the morning. Bai Xiao brought six guards with him this time to escort Xia Mianwan to Jiangnan to settle down. After several people disguised themselves, they were ready to set off.

Old Mrs. Zheng and her entourage will be arranged to leave by another group of people.

Zheng Lingwan and Zhu said goodbye to Xia Mianwan reluctantly.

"After sending you thousands of miles away, we must finally say goodbye. Please go back!" Xia Mianwan bowed slightly and got into the carriage with the two children.

A new life is coming.

Xia Mianwan and her group were moving not very slowly. Whenever they arrived at a place, she would ask Bai Xiao to stop and buy some local specialties, which she would then secretly put into the space.

In just over a month, Xia Mianwan arrived in Yanzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan is even more prosperous and bustling than the capital.

Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er arrived at a new place. Although they were very curious, the journey was very tiring, so they were taken by Xia Mianwan to stay in an inn first.

After resting for a night, Xia Mianwan and Bai Xiaoxian went to the dental clinic to buy a house.

There are several dental clinics in Yanzhou. After Xia Mianwan asked the innkeeper about them, he went to Wang's Dental Clinic which was recommended by the innkeeper.

The broker was very polite and asked, "What kind of house do you need, young lady?"

Xia Mianwan thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't have to be too big. It's best if it can accommodate a surface."

The broker thought for a moment and said, "There are two shops on Changlong Street that were just vacated yesterday. The front shop is on Changlong Street, and the back yard is on Changshui Lane. One house has a well, and the other does not. The house with a well is more expensive, about ten taels of silver."

"Can you take us to see the house now?" Xia Mianwan asked.

The broker nodded, went to get the key, and took Xia Mianwan and Bai Xiao to the shop on Changlong Street.

Changlong Street is very lively and bustling with people.

"Today is market day. People from surrounding counties, towns and villages will come here, so it's very lively." The broker explained.

Xia Mianwan smiled and nodded.

In the time it takes to stick of incense, Xia Mianwan arrived at the first shop with a well in the yard.

The shop on Changlong Street is not very big, only about 30 square meters, but fortunately the shop has just been renovated. Passing through the shop's door, you will reach the backyard, the door to the backyard is on the left. The yard is also about 30 square meters, and there is a well and a small vegetable garden surrounded by a fence on the far right of the yard.

In the middle of the yard are two main rooms, two side rooms, the kitchen on the far left, and the toilet in the far right corner.

The rooms are not very big, but they are new and look very clean.

"How much does this shop and house cost?" Xia Mianwan asked.

When the broker saw Xia Mianwan asking for the price, he hurriedly said, "Young lady, I'll give you a real price. You can ask around in our brokerage firm. It must be the most honest one. This house, the shop, and the tax will cost eight hundred taels of silver."

Xia Mianwan was shocked. She didn't expect the house price in Yanzhou to be so expensive. This shop is not even as big as the one in the north, but the shop in Heqiao Town doesn't even charge 200 taels, but in Yanzhou it costs 800 taels. "

However, Xia Mianwan had money. When she set out, she left some silver for Zheng Lingwan and brought the rest with her. After spending money along the way, she had a total of 95,000 taels of silver and 5,000 taels of gold.

"How is the security here?" Bai Xiao asked.

The broker smiled and said, "Our Yanzhou is the safest city in Jiangnan, and Changlong Street is also one of the safest streets."

I am already somewhat satisfied with Xia Mianwan, this place is indeed more suitable.

"This place is nice, this is it." Xia Mianwan decided on this shop.

The broker was very quick. After the money was paid, he went to the government to get the deed and pay the tax.

Xia Mianwan knew that Bai Xiao and others were also in a hurry to go back and report, so he did not delay.

After Bai Xiao helped Xia Mianwan move the house, he prepared to leave. When he left, Bai Xiao handed the things Zheng Xiaoyun asked him to pass on to Xia Mianwan, "Sir... No, Madam Xia, we are leaving now. If you really need help, you can go find the owner of the coffin shop in the east of the city. He is from my hometown. Don't worry, he has nothing to do with the Zheng family."

Xia Mianwan smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Brother Bai."

Bai Xiao clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll leave."

"Goodbye."

Xia Mianwan watched Bai Xiao and the guards leave, then turned into the yard and closed the door.

Xia Mianwan opened the bundle given by Zheng Xiaoyun. Inside the bundle was a silver note worth one thousand taels and a box of pearl jewelry.

It was quite practical. Xia Mianwan put the bag in the main room first, and took Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er to get familiar with the house first.
