Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty
Chapter 7 Act according to plan
Seeing that it would be dawn in more than an hour, Liu Yunqing had no intention of making up for his sleep, so he simply took out a wooden box from under the bed, which contained a Jiaozi, forty-eight taels of silver and two strings of money.
At that time, Jiaozi was not considered a silver note, but was more like a passbook or a withdrawal voucher. If you needed money, you just had to go to a Jiaozi shop to exchange it.
Liu Yunqing saved two hundred taels of silver, which was not only the income from the bookshop, but also the money she earned from reselling engravings privately or introducing printing jobs to the masters.
Even if she had no experience in her previous life, as a young lady in the Song Dynasty, facing such an unreliable father, she could not help but leave a way out for herself and her family.
At present, these private savings were used to support her mother and sisters. She only picked up a dozen copper coins and put them in her purse, not worrying at all about not having enough money when going out.
There is a valuable little fat guy under her bed, and he won’t be able to share it with others!
She plans to send it to Mr. Zhao's residence tomorrow, as a reward... no, as a thank-you gift.
Liu Yunqing's mind was full of calculations.
"Mother, don't be in a hurry to settle accounts with father. Tomorrow, you can find a few estate agents to come to our house and tell them that you want to sell the old house. Then, hold your second and third sisters in your arms and cry to them..."
The next day, at dawn, A'niang really called the manor's agent.
At first, only one or two people were called to come and look at the house and land. However, the old house was right at the foot of the imperial city, only a quarter of an hour's walk from the Daxiangguo Temple, the real CBD of Bianjing. It could be said that every inch of land was worth the same as gold.
As soon as the brokers received the news, more than ten people came in like flies smelling blood, each carrying snacks and fruits. Even the neighbors came over to ask questions.
Before she got married, Qi had studied with a female tutor for several years. After marrying into Bian Jing and running a bookstore, she had no problem at all dealing with the brokers. Naturally, she was able to do it with ease and without any panic.
She invited everyone to the main hall. The maids in the house had been dismissed, and only the second lady served tea.
When everyone took one look and thought about it, they realized that the Liu family had really reached the point where they had no choice but to sell the house.
But the Liu family still has two bookstores, which makes people confused. They don’t know what Qi is planning. Even if they want to sell the bookstores, they can’t sell the ancestral home, right?
"I've had my tea. Let's not beat around the bush. May I ask if Qi Wu Niang really wants to sell the house? Isn't she just teasing us? Does Shopkeeper Liu know about this?"
Qi's face was filled with sorrow. "To be honest, my husband doesn't know about this yet. But my wife fell into the water and became unconscious, and my husband also disappeared. We have no money left at home, so we sold our dowry and jewelry to feed our children."
"I went to the bookstore to look for him but couldn't find him. Instead, I heard that the shop had changed hands. I got slapped in the face for nothing. Now if I don't sell the old house, how can I, a woman, raise three children and look for my lover?"
As she spoke, Qi began to cry, and the second lady also started to cry. It happened that the third lady was playing in the yard and was frightened by a bug. She ran into her mother's arms, crying.
Everyone felt very sad when they saw the mother and her two daughters. Some of them who knew the whereabouts of Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but curse him in their hearts.
A heartless man has money to rent a house for his mistress but has no money to give to his wife and daughter. He is really a piece of shit!
A matchmaker who was about 40 or 50 years old came forward to comfort her. She had also suffered from a heartless man in the past, so seeing Qi like this, she naturally felt a common hatred for the enemy.
"Don't cry, Qi Wuniang. Don't sell the house for now. First, this is the Liu family's ancestral home and it's not easy for you, a woman, to make the decision. Second, if you really sell it, you and the young ladies will have nowhere to go. The eldest lady hasn't woken up yet, so you have to make sure she has a place to stay."
"Listen to me, stop crying, spend a few coins to hire one or two idlers, walk east along Jiucao Street, and when you see Zhujiaqiao Tile Shop, go north to the second house in the first alley. You will definitely find your beloved there."
As for why she hired two idle men, the old woman didn't say anything, but everyone present knew that this was to ask Qi Wu Niang to catch an adulterer and beat him up!
It’s just that it’s hard to talk about illegal things openly, but generally speaking, when a wife catches her husband cheating, she hires two idle men to find a place, put a sack on him, and beat him up.
If the woman is careful not to cause death, and then runs away, the man who violated the law will usually think that the woman's lover is seeking revenge, and for the sake of face he dare not report it to the authorities, and the wife can vent her anger.
Qi pretended not to understand the woman's words and said with a look of surprise, "You really know where my beloved is. I don't know how to thank you. I will come to thank you when I have time to thank you at home."
The brokers and neighbors left. Although the house was not sold, they got to eat a lot of melons and left very satisfied. As soon as they stepped out of the Liu family's door, they couldn't help but brag about it to others. Some of them even squatted near the Zhujiaqiao tile house, waiting to watch the show.
However, Qi was in no hurry to go. She followed her daughter's instructions and pawned her jewelry several times with great fanfare, fearing that the people of Bianliang would not know about the good deeds Liu Chenggong had done.
As for Liu Yunqing, when the house was quiet, she dressed up as a young man and went out.
She was not short, about 1.7 meters tall. She had lost a lot of weight after being in a coma for more than two months. She was wearing a round-necked light green gown and had no accessories on her body. She only saw apricot blossom in full bloom at the entrance of the alley and broke off a small branch to clip it between her ears.
The budding apricot blossoms were delicate, making her almond-shaped eyes look less childish and more charming, which attracted the attention of the young ladies on the street.
Not to mention that she had a lion cat with a golden quilt and a silver bed in her arms. Those who didn't know would think she was some family's official parading incognito. Even the neighbors and shopkeepers who were familiar with her didn't suspect that she was the unlucky lady of the Liu family.
Liu Yunqing was not in a hurry to deal with A'niang's affairs and planned to send Fuxia back first.
The little fat boy was quite delicate. He had been hungry for a whole day. There was no meat jerky or dried fish in the house that a cat could eat, so Liu Yunqing cut a few slices of bacon for the little fat boy and asked him to fill his stomach first.
Who would have thought that Fuxia would step back three feet after sniffing the bacon, digging at the ground with her little paws, looking extremely disgusted.
Liu Yunqing was so angry that he almost laughed. It was true that a little cat who doesn't manage the household doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.
My father cut off the family's money, and she had been in a coma, so my mother hired doctors and asked for medicine for her, and prayed to Buddha and gods, and money went out like water.
Not to mention that we couldn't afford the cheese that my younger sisters wanted to eat, we couldn't even eat meat. It was only because my younger sisters couldn't resist the craving for it that my mother cut off two inches of bacon, as a way of giving them some meat to eat.
"The Xinxing Marquis's Mansion is a bit far away. I will send you to Mr. Zhao first. You can enjoy the food that Mr. Zhao prepared for me. It is also a way to repay your concern for me. Now that I am a man, I don't have any extra money to support you."
