Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Luo Yu lived a good life for several days in a proud manner. The Murong family was very rich and the servants had meals with the leftover meat and vegetables from the restaurant. The chef would specially prepare a few good dishes. Men and women ate at separate tables. Luo Yu could eat meat at almost every meal and almost forgot about his plan to lose weight.

Except for the period when business is good, accounting is mostly idle. Besides, Luo Yu is very fast at calculation, so it doesn't require any effort at all. When she is free, she goes to the kitchen to see if she can help.

There wasn't much the cook could do for her, and the busy aunts didn't dare ask her to use any pots and pans. Luo Yu felt that everyone here was inexplicably polite to her, which made her feel a little bored. She simply moved to the woodshed and saw a boy chopping wood, the axe in his hand shaking.

"Hey, little brother, do you want me to help you chop wood?"

The servant stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "Are you the new Miss Su Xiaoxiao?"

Luo Yu thought he had become famous overnight, so he smiled and said, "What's the matter? You know my name. Am I really that famous?"

The servant shook his head and said, "Master Murong has told us not to let Miss Su Xiaoxiao do servant work. You are the accountant and should be respected by us."

Luo Yu was speechless and asked, "When did he come? Why haven't I seen him?"

"The young master would come here early every morning, but the young lady hadn't started work yet."

Luo Yu said "oh" and asked the servant for an axe. She wanted to test her current strength. Besides, she still had to work hard to lose weight, otherwise the water in the wooden tub would overflow into the house if it was a little full during bathing, which would also be a hassle to clean.

The servant quickly hid the axe and said nervously, "Miss Su, if someone sees this, they will definitely tell on me and even deduct my wages."

"How could your Master Murong deduct your wages when he cares so much about his servants?"

"He hardly ever comes on weekdays, but for some reason he comes quite often recently."

Luo Yu didn't make things difficult for him anymore. It seemed that there was something fishy going on with this Young Master Murong. She went out to relax first, and then thought about how to deal with this troublesome Young Master Murong.

After the Lantern Festival, the streets are still bustling, but everyone's face shows the hardship of running around. Horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts are coming in and out of the city gate, and many children in their early teens also come out to work to earn some extra money for their families.

There are businesses everywhere, but unfortunately there are only a few ordinary people who can actually make money.

After taking a stroll, Luo Yu had nothing to do, so she went to pick up the dress she had ordered.

After she got her clothes, she felt someone following her. When she turned around suddenly, a provocative voice rang out: "Dad, that person is really Su Xiaoxiao. Let's take her back quickly."

"I rely on!"

When Luo Yu heard this sound, he was more frightened than seeing a ghost, so he ran away.

She heard a group of voices behind her: "Chase her quickly! It's Su Xiaoxiao, the girl from the Su family. She stole Mr. Deng's betrothal money."

Qin Luoqi ran harder than when she was being chased by a group of enemy soldiers. It turned out that the old man who was about to die had sent someone to capture her and take her back to get married!

It would be better to let her die a few more times.

As she ran, she heard the little fat boy's voice behind her loud and clear: "Dad, Su Xiaoxiao runs really fast. Why do I feel like she has lost some weight and is almost as light as a swallow?"

Luo Yu turned around and saw two fat guys chasing her from afar. It was really disgusting. It was obvious that the little fat guy was too fat to run, but he dared to say that she was as light as a swallow.

Although the two fat men, one big and one small, could not catch up with her, the people sent by Mr. Deng were all young and strong. After a while, they chased Qin Luoqi for several laps and ran into an alley.

Seeing that there was no way forward, Qin Luoqi picked up the firewood left by someone in the alley. It seemed that he had to fight alone.

When several young men surrounded her, panting, Qin Luosheng sneered, "You are so young, how can you be so weak? You are so weak, so weak, you need the Su family to nourish you."

"Su, Miss Su, please don't resist. Even though we can't outrun you, are we, a few grown men, afraid that we can't catch you?"

"Oh? Come on, if you can!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out the stick. Although she was fat, she was very strong. She used her fists and feet together and could easily knock down several thin young men.

The young men who were knocked to the ground looked at each other in bewilderment. The Su family had never said that Su Xiaoxiao was such a good fighter! If they couldn't catch her, Master Deng would punish them to death.

Luo Yu raised her big stick and shouted, "Sister, I'll spare your lives for now. If I see you again, I'll beat you until you kowtow and beg for mercy."

Several young men quickly struggled to get up and decided to retreat first. They would call more people to capture Su Xiaoxiao and take her back to marry Master Deng another day.

Seeing them fleeing in panic, Luo Yu patted his chest guiltily.

Fortunately, I am strong. If I were to be dressed as a weak girl and couldn't fight them, and then be taken away by them to marry a dead old man, it would be like the sky falling!

She threw away the stick in her hand, picked up the package she had just thrown on the ground, patted it, breathed a sigh of relief, and when she looked up, she saw a familiar figure standing at the end of the alley.

"Miss Su is really good at fighting!"

"Wow, you're scary!"

Murong Huaijin walked up to her and stared at her with a confused look.

Luo Yu took a step back and asked guiltily, "What are you doing here?"

"You have good kung fu, where did you learn it?"

When did he become so unreasonable? Luo Yu snorted coldly: "It has nothing to do with you, why should I tell you."

Murong said "Oh", but he was not angry at all. After a while, he continued, "I know that Miss Su Xiao is going to be forced to marry an old man. If you can tell me the truth, I might be able to help you with some advice."

"unnecessary."

"If they report this to the authorities, things will be difficult to handle."

Luo Yu walked past him and heard what he said. He blinked, took a step back, looked at him and said, "Do you know anyone in the government? How do you want to help me?"

"That depends on how much truth the girl has."

Luo Yu followed him to a teahouse, and they sat face to face. Luo Yu didn't know what he was going to ask, and was confused, when he didn't expect the man to ask the waiter to bring him paper and pen.

"Can the girl write with her right hand?"

Luo Yu snorted coldly, grabbed a pen and imitated other people's handwriting to write the three words "Su Xiaoxiao".

"Su Xiaoxiao, why did you come to Tanzhou?"

"To escape marriage. You should have heard it just now. My old man wants to marry me to an old man who is about to be buried."

"You grew up in a village. How did you learn Arabic numerals? And there's so much more to learn. Where do I even begin?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? Could it be that you are interested in me?" Luo Yu chuckled. "If I don't marry this old man, marrying a handsome man like you is not a bad idea."
