Traveling to the ancient harem

Zhang wiped her tears again: "If the young lady hadn't been willing to take us in, not to mention when my father would be able to rest in peace, even now, we, the old and the young, would have ended up begging on the street."

I bowed to Huang Ye in a proper manner and said, "Miss, you have allowed me to continue my studies. This is a great favor. I will follow your lead for the rest of my life. I must sign the contract of selling myself. It is my token of loyalty to you. I hope you will fulfill my wish."

Huang Ye looked at Lingyu and Hongdou in embarrassment. Hongdou did not interfere in this matter because she had not signed it. In her opinion, loyalty could not be constrained by signing or not. Aren't there many people who betray their masters?

Lingyu gave Huang Ye a wink. She thought more about it. If it could really be used in the future, signing a contract to sell one's body would undoubtedly be the best. People's hearts are fickle, so it is more reliable to be bound by a contract to sell one's body.

In this case, Huang Ye did not insist any longer. However, she did not have enough time. She needed to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone to write. She also had to write another letter to her grandfather. Moreover, the contract of sale had to be kept as a record at the government. It seemed that she would have to make another trip tomorrow.

"Then let's do this. We don't have enough time today. You can go back with us, Auntie. We'll come back after I finish everything." Huang Ye said to Zhang.

In fact, she initially thought of putting them up in the inn, but then she thought that if she was delayed and didn't come tomorrow, she didn't know how worried the mother and son would be. Since they were already hers, they would feel more at ease if she had them by her side.

"The nunnery does not accept male guests." Hongdou took over the conversation before Huangye finished speaking.

Huang Ye rolled her eyes at Hongdou, thinking she didn't know. Is she that stupid?

"We can stay anywhere on the street. Miss, just come to find us at the gate of the yamen when the time comes." Zhang didn't want to cause trouble for the young lady.

"I will talk to the head of the village later and settle you in his house. It's just a matter of paying for food and accommodation, so don't worry." Huang Ye said, looked at the mother and son, thought for a while and asked Lingyu, "Is there any ready-made clothes store nearby?" She wanted to buy them some clothes. Since they were family members, of course they had to dress decently. She also wanted to save face.

"You can only find it on the main street." Lingyu replied.

"Let's go." This had to happen quickly; the village chief might have been waiting impatiently.

A group of people hurried to the only ready-made clothing store in the town. Huang Ye was generous and bought three sets of clothes for the mother and son, and also bought a few sets of underwear. Although the clothes were not made of good materials, they were the most expensive clothes in the store. It was a rare opportunity to get such a big deal, and the shopkeeper was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and gave them some extra handkerchiefs, purses and other matching small items.

Huang Ye asked them to change their clothes and put on the new clothes they bought. Although the clothes were made of such a simple material, they were decent enough. The two people looked like different people after they put them on. After all, they had been rich before, so their temperament was well grasped.

Wansheng and his mother were holding their newly bought clothes and following Huang Ye and the others towards the town entrance. The village head was craning his neck to look and when he saw there were two people behind them, he was a little confused.

"Chief, I'm sorry for wasting some time." Huang Ye apologized first.

"I have two people who I would like to place in your house first, for about a day or two. I will provide you with their food and lodging in advance. If it is not enough, I will supply it for you when we go down the mountain. Then we will have to rent your ox cart and go to the town. Is the village head willing?" Huang Ye does not play those empty games. People can only make decisions as soon as possible when they see real benefits.

Village head: He is very willing to do so. He is so lucky. The God of Wealth is giving him money.

"Don't worry, little master. I promise to take good care of you. Hurry up and sit on it. We have to leave quickly."

The village head didn't bother to blame them for delaying too long, nor did he bother to ask about the two people's origins. He picked up the whip and drove the ox cart much faster than when he came.

When the ox cart returned to the village, it was already completely dark. Huang Ye asked Hongdou to take out a piece of silver and give it to the head of the village, saying that it was for the cost of renting the ox cart, as well as the food and lodging expenses for Wansheng and his mother.

The headman was so excited, he had never earned so much money in his life, this young master was really rich. He patted his chest and promised that he would treat these two people well and would not neglect them.

Huang Ye and the other three had to hurry back. The two monks in the nunnery must be worried when they saw that they hadn't returned yet so late.

The head of the village was busy calling his wife to find torches. Although the people here were simple and honest and there were no bandits, there might be wild beasts on the mountain. He was worried about the girls walking on the road at night because wild beasts were afraid of fire. He couldn't bear to part with the torches for others as it was a waste of money.

"Let's go." Huang Ye waved her hand. Walking at night was not a problem for the three of them.

Huang Ye's worry was actually unnecessary. Guan Zhen felt that with the abilities of the three of them, as long as no major disaster occurred, they would have no problem protecting themselves. The worst that could happen was that they would be delayed.

Jingzhen thought that she had given her disciples the powder for self-defense, and they also had martial arts skills, so she was not worried at all and did not go out to check, thinking that they had returned a long time ago.

So when Huang Ye came back and didn't see the two masters waiting for him at the temple gate, he felt inexplicably aggrieved.
