Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

Chapter 4 Marrying the Lady from the Li Family

By the time Li Yuening was ready to exit the space, it was already dawn and Xiaosui'er came in with a washbasin to help her wash.

After breakfast, Li Yuening took out a banknote from her dressing box and told Xiao Sui'er, "When you go to look for a house, tell the broker that I need to hire a bodyguard to go to Jinling. He must be skilled. The price is negotiable, but I need to review it."

Xiao Sui'er turned around and was about to leave, but Li Yuening stopped her, "I haven't finished explaining yet. Let's stop by the grocery store on our way back and buy some seeds."

"My lady, what do you want the seeds for? We are leaving in a few days."

"I'm useful. Go quickly and come back soon. We still need to pack our luggage." After a pause, Li Yuening said, "Xiao Sui'er, you are alone now. When we get to Jinling, I will buy two more maids to help you. You will have to work hard these days."

"My lady, I'm not tired. If you hadn't bought me from the human traffickers, I wouldn't know where I would be humiliated. I'm willing to serve you for the rest of my life." After saying that, Xiaosui ran away without waiting for Li Yuening to say anything. She had to be more diligent, otherwise, when her lady had other maids around her, she would be of no use.

Li Yuening began to sort out the gold and silver jewelry. The jewelry in the dressing table were all new. In her memory, the original owner did not like to wear jewelry and her clothes were also very plain. Li Yuening did not understand at first, but when she thought of Li Kuida's letters and the original owner's monthly visits to the temple to fast, pray, and burn paper money, she could understand.

The silver notes and small change totaled 500 taels, which was enough to carry her from Jiangning to Jinling. In the future, she would have to live in Xie Mansion and depend on others for support. In the original owner's memory, there was Mrs. Xie, Feng. Li Yuening sneered, "Ugly people are prone to mischief. Don't provoke her, otherwise, even if her mental strength has not recovered, it would be easy to give her hemiplegia and cerebral stroke."

Fortunately, the imperial edict for migration will be issued in a month.

Li Yuening sat in front of the dressing table with one hand supporting her chin and the other hand gently tapping the table: If the land in the space can really grow things, then she would be a moving treasure house, and then she would be in great danger.

But what should we do with the crops we grow? We have to sell them eventually. We can’t just keep them hidden forever.

Holding the secret of the treasure and not daring to tell anyone, she will always be tense. She is only 15 years old. Considering the limit of 60 in this dynasty, there are at least 4,50 to years left. Li Yuening dare not think about it. This is too depressing.

The only way is to find an accomplice, share the secret with him, and ask him to help sell the stolen goods, no, sell the products of the space.

At the same time, we have to ensure that he will not betray himself. Where can we find such a person?

The most difficult thing is the human heart. How can you guarantee that the other party will not betray you?

Li Yuening analyzed the pros and cons in her mind, nodding and shaking her head from time to time.

Jiangning Inn

The servant knocked on the door, and someone inside lazily said, "Come in."

"Sir, Qingyi is back." The servant said respectfully to the young man lying on the couch.

"Well, how's the investigation going?" The young man lifted the book covering his face and turned his head to ask the servant.

The young man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His narrow eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were curved, with a smile that looked cool but affectionate.

Qingyi was even more respectful. "Qingyi visited the residents near Li's escort agency. This escort chief Li is a kind and honest man. He treats his escorts very well and holds his only son in his heart. He would rather give him the moon than the stars.

Half a month ago, the news of Li's death came back, and Madam Li fell ill. She invited many doctors but none of them could help. Seeing this, the other escorts of the Li family left one after another, and the servants also fled with the money. No one has been seen entering or leaving the Li family for several days. "

After a pause, Qingyi continued, "Qingyi originally planned to go into the Li family to investigate, but unexpectedly a little maid went out today and went straight to the pawnshop and put the Li family up for sale. In addition, I heard from the little maid that she wanted to hire bodyguards to escort Madam Li to... Jinling." The servant looked up at the young man before gently uttering the word Jinling.

"Gone?"

Qingyi, "No more."

"What does Madam Li look like? What's her personality like? Does she have any hobbies... Tsk tsk, you know nothing about it. Is this Madam Li really so mysterious?" The young man seemed to be talking to himself.

Qingyi's forehead was sweating. She swallowed her saliva and whispered, "Mrs. Li rarely goes out. She only goes to Xiaohan Temple to burn incense every month and always wears a veil. People who have seen her say that she is so beautiful that she can captivate fish and geese, but she has been seriously ill for a long time."

Xie Shi said nonchalantly, "The old man is a man of his word. My brothers and I are all of marriageable age, but a woman from the Li family has caused a quarrel among the brothers."

Xie Lin has taken a fancy to Li Yuening. Whoever marries her will be valued by the old man. It doesn't matter who you marry. Wouldn't it be better if the one who brings the greatest benefits to you is the one who marries you?

Xie Shi was secretly complaining, it was because he had reached the age to get married.

Given Feng's personality, it would be impossible for her to find him a good one. Instead of waiting to be controlled by Feng, it would be better for him to just marry the lady from the Li family. Maybe he could solve a big problem for Feng.

But Xie Shi knew that Feng, who was bent on marrying up the social ladder, would not be willing to let Xie Zhan marry the woman from the Li family, not to mention that Xie Zhan... humph.

"Madam Li wants to hire a bodyguard. You go and sign up and say it only costs 30 taels." Xie Shi instructed Qingyi, then covered his face with the book and lay back on the couch. Soon, the sound of even breathing could be heard.

The man in blue bent down and quietly stepped out, standing at the door, shivering in the wind.

On the other side, Xiaosui'er returned home with a bag of seeds and vegetables.

After sending Xiaosui'er to prepare lunch, Li Yuening couldn't wait to enter the space to sow the seeds. Without any farming tools, she had to roll the mace on the ground to wrap the seeds. Without water, Li Yuening ran to the well, quickly carried two buckets of water and put them into the space, then ran back to the house and entered the space. Oops, she forgot to bring the ladle.

Li Yuening felt that her brain was not enough when she encountered this black soil. This was only a small piece. The remaining area was as big as a football field. What should she do? Thinking further, if the place covered by fog was all land, she would not be able to finish planting it all by herself from spring to winter!

Li Yuening took a teacup from the room, squatted beside the fence, scooped water and poured it on the ground while thinking about life.

In the last days, all food and vegetables are propagated without soil. The food and vegetables grown are limited and expensive. Ordinary people can only use nutrient solution to maintain their vitality. People with special abilities have potions to enhance their physical fitness and special abilities. She once had a feast at a commendation meeting, and the delicious taste is unforgettable.

After watering the fields, Xiaosui'er came in with two plates of green vegetables and a bowl of rice.

Li Yuening was about to ask, is this all you can eat? A thought came to her mind: the Li family had just lost a family member, and they were vegetarians for 100 days of mourning. The words that came to her mouth became, "You don't need to be served here, you can go down and eat too."

"I will serve you my lady's meal first."

"No need. Now that there are only two of us, there's no need to be polite. We'll have to sort out the food after we're full, which is very tiring." Li Yuening waved her hand and sat down at the table.

Xiaosui bowed and went out.

It was the first time that Li Yuening saw Xiaosui'er salute. Both men and women in Dajin performed the cross-arm salute. The woman clenched her left hand into a fist, and wrapped her right hand around the base of her left hand, holding her left thumb and pushing it outward, while slightly bending her body.

The man, on the contrary, clenched his right fist, held his right thumb with his left hand and pushed it outwards while slightly bending over.

In addition, there is the fist-holding salute among people in the martial arts world.

Li Yuening thought that these would definitely be useful in the future, so she had to adapt to the local customs and there was still a lot to learn.
