Zhu Lin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly didn't know how to react.
A Tian in the car blushed and bit her lower lip.
Chen Danzhu looked at her: "A Tian, are we out of money?"
A Tian's tears fell. How could they have money? Peach Blossom View was originally just a place where young ladies occasionally stayed, and there was no money at all. The only food and drink they had was provided regularly by their families.
Since the young lady left Peach Blossom Temple that night, one big thing happened one after another in the family. The Chen family was locked up in the house and no one came out again. Chen Liehu did not recognize Chen Danzhu as his daughter, and of course he did not
Send money and food and drink items.
Later, the Chen family left Wudu.
All the money she had saved over the years as a maid was spent.
"The eldest lady left some money before she left." Ah Tian cried, but the Chen family didn't have much money. The land of Wu was rich, but the Chen family didn't save much land and property. This trip back to Xijing was very expensive.
The money left by the eldest lady is simply not enough. After all, the young lady needs it for food and drink——
She ate with the same food as before, and a mouthful of rice was very expensive.
Chen Danzhu sighed softly: "You silly girl, you don't have enough money, just tell me." If you don't buy such good food and drinks, what if you save a little.
"The eldest lady left the deed to the house." A Tian said in tears, "I told her that I didn't have enough money and asked her to sell the house. I couldn't bear it -"
The master and others have left and sold the house, so the lady really has no home.
Chen Danzhu shook his head and glanced at Zhulin: "That can't be spent on Zhulin."
Although she uses them as bodyguards, it is because they are bodyguards, so if she just uses people, how can she use other people's money.
Zhu Lin looked at A Tian who was crying, and after hearing those words again, he stammered: "No, it's okay."
These two girls really have no money - why don't they just eat and drink? Spend some money, but no one will die.
"It's not okay to have no money." Chen Danzhu said that this is a big deal. In her last life, she was imprisoned and had Li Liang in charge of her food and drink, so she never bothered about it, but this life is different.
Li Liang was killed by her, and she had to rely on herself to live freely.
And there are many places where she needs to spend money. For example, if Zhang Yao comes, she can't let him drag himself out begging for food in the village under Peach Blossom Mountain.
She wanted him to be well-fed and well-clothed, to go to his father-in-law's house in a glamorous manner, and to go to the Imperial College to study as a teacher in a comfortable manner. Studying also required money.
"Ah Tian, please calculate how much the bamboo forest cost," she said.
A Tian cried and wiped her tears and nodded: "I remember it all. Every time I bought something, I wrote it down. I want to pay him back."
Zhu Lin said hurriedly: "No, I don't have any use for money, you can use it."
Chen Danzhu smiled at him: "Let's go back in the car. I won't buy peach blossom rice today. I just go into the store and buy some ordinary rice. You have to pay first."
Zhu Lin responded and hurriedly lowered the car curtain - he couldn't see this, the two girls were too pitiful.
Why don't you just buy something to eat and drink? He will pay next year's salary tomorrow.
As the carriage swayed forward, Chen Danzhu wiped the tears of Ah Tian, who was still crying.
"Stop crying." She sighed softly, "A Tian, you have been suffering a lot these days."
In that life, she suffered in her heart day and night, and A Tian was by her side. Although her family was safe in this life, the things that happened were also very scary. A Tian had not experienced the previous life, she was just an ordinary girl, and she felt unhappy.
I know how to be frightened.
"Miss, don't sell the house." Ah Tian choked and said, "What if the master and the others come back? What if the miss wants to go back and live there."
Such a good girl, will she really live in a small Taoist temple on the mountain all her life?
In fact, she did live in the Taoist Temple all her life. Chen Danzhu sighed softly.
"Okay, we won't sell the house." She said, shaking A Tian's shoulders, "Come on, cheer up, we have to find a way to make money to support ourselves."
A Tian quickly wiped away her tears and nodded, then said sadly: "How can we make money?"
Chen Danzhu's eyes fell on a pack of medicine in the car and smiled: "Didn't I tell shopkeeper Liu just now? Open a medicine shop and become a doctor."
Ah Tian groaned and stared at Chen Danzhu: "Miss, are you serious? You really want to study medicine."
How long will it take to learn? Shopkeeper Liu is already old.
In fact, she has been studying for seven or eight years, Chen Danzhu thought.
"I can't cure all diseases. I have headaches, brain fever, and snake and insect bites." She said, "Let's learn while opening a pharmacy."
That’s not easy to learn, A Tian thought to herself, but she didn’t object anymore. The young lady is worried about her livelihood now, so it’s better to let her do something - even if she can’t cure the disease, she can sell medicine. At least she can use the medicine she bought in the past few days.
sell away.
Zhulin still bought peach blossom rice and said, "I'll change the taste next time." and left.
Chen Danzhu's expression was complicated. After using it for a long time, did she really regard this guard as her own? Forget it, she can't make the decision on some people and things, so whatever.
"Don't worry, Miss." Ah Tian whispered from the side, "The other rice is ordinary."
In addition to her, there were two servants and two maids in the Taoist temple. They all had to eat. Aunt Ying reminded her that she had been asked to buy ordinary and cheap rice very early.
"Aren't you hungry during these days?" Chen Danzhu asked.
A Tian shook her head: "I'm not hungry, but I'm missing a few dishes."
That's good. She couldn't live in such a situation that the people who followed her would be hungry. Chen Danzhu cheered up and said, "Get ready to make money."
That night, Chen Danzhu went to bed early without being tired and wrote and drew in the room. When she got up early the next morning, she didn't wander around the mountain empty-handed. Instead, she and A Tian carried a basket each.
"We rely on the mountain to eat the mountain." Chen Danzhu said, pointing to Peach Blossom Mountain, "Our Peach Blossom Mountain has many medicinal herbs that can be used to treat diseases without spending money."
Ah Dessert nodded. She knew that herbs grow on the mountains, but did the lady really know how to use herbs to treat illnesses? Can she identify the herbs?
Chen Danzhu did not disappoint Ah Tian. He took her to dig out two baskets of medicinal materials in the morning and taught Aunt Ying and the others how to wash and dry them.
Chen Danzhu took the car to shopkeeper Liu's pharmacy again and bought some equipment for preparing medicinal materials - indicating that he really wanted to open a pharmacy, but this time he did not see the Liu family lady.
"Is that pretty young lady that day the shopkeeper's daughter?" she asked directly.
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and answered yes.
"Does Miss Liu also study medicine?" Chen Danzhu said insinuatingly, looking around, "I didn't see her today."
Not many women study medicine. What they learn is just a dabble, and they don't come to sit in for consultation. Although he runs a pharmacy, just like his wife did not study medicine with his father-in-law, his daughter certainly does not study either. This girl's family
If you let her run wild, don't think that everyone is like this.
Shopkeeper Liu smiled: "She doesn't want to learn, and she doesn't come to the store. She goes to her aunt and grandma's house."
With the title of grandma, Chen Danzhu remembered that in her previous life, she had heard Zhang Yao say that after Zhang Yao arrived, Miss Liu went to live with her grandma because she opposed the marriage.
Chen Danzhu didn't ask any more questions. She liked Zhang Yao, and she couldn't ask all women to like it. Miss Liu didn't like the marriage, so she couldn't criticize her harshly. For Miss Liu, the marriage was a lifetime event, so of course she had to do it.
careful.
Chen Danzhu returned to Taohuaguan and worked hard for a few days with A Tianyinggu and others. They made a bunch of medicinal materials. Together with the ones bought earlier, a small medicine shop could be opened.
Chen Danzhu asked A Tian and others to go to the foot of the mountain to tell villagers and passers-by that if you feel uncomfortable, you can come to Taohua Temple to get free medicine.
A Tian was surprised: "Free?" Aren't they going to sell it for money?
"Silly girl." Chen Danzhu said, "We have to build a reputation first, otherwise how can we get people to pay for it."
A Tian suddenly understood and stuck out her tongue. It seemed that the young lady still knew how to make money better than her. She took Ying Gu and others down the mountain. Some were on the road and some went to the village to spread the word.
But after a few days, no one came to Taohua Temple to get medicine.
