Happiness Consist in Contentment

The frontier in July is still hot, and the hot sun is scorching the earth, as if to dry everything in the entire earth.

In Cheng'an Town not far from the border town, a swaying ox cart slowly entered the town.

There were only three or five scattered people on the street who were rushing to make a living. Even if such an ox cart passed by them, they didn't even look up, they just walked with their heads covered and their steps hurried.

The bullock cart passed through the town and went outside the town for about seven miles. It turned into a village and didn't stop until the door of Lizheng's house.

The coachman, who was sweating profusely, got out of the bullock cart. A young woman with a black veil and a coarse cloth dress came out of the cart. She was frail and walked down slowly, holding the carriage. She was breathing rapidly. Weak individuals.

The coachman stretched out his hand and held it vacantly, for fear that she would faint from the sun, so he said in a loud voice, "Girl, are you alright?"

The woman shook her head and said softly, "Nothing. I'm fine."

It's just that I've been on the road for days, and I can't help but feel a little sullen, but it's not in the way.

Liu Jing knew that she was no longer the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, nor was she the future prince concubine who had received His Majesty's favor and had a powerful father behind her, who was more honorable than the princess.

Today, she is just a little rich and helpless civilian woman - Liu Anniang.

Anniang is her former nickname.

When she was just born, she was frail and sick. Her father was afraid of her early death, so he gave her such a nickname, hoping that she could grow up safely and live a peaceful life.

Now, her father is gone, and she doesn't know where her sister is. She can only find a place to settle down by herself, live in peace, and then talk about other things.

Besides, she was also afraid of finding her sister. After all, her sister can definitely live well by herself.

But if she was with herself, what would happen in the end, she couldn't predict and didn't dare to think about it.

That's it, be nice to each other.

If they are destined, maybe they can meet each other, but if they are not destined, then there is no need to force them.

It's just that the people who came to raid the house that day didn't find any property, only the things in her and her father's yard were still there. Everything else is empty, including the storeroom in the mansion, and the treasures that have been hidden in the past are all gone.

Liu Jing couldn't help but feel strange.

Who took it all away?

Is it your sister?

But what did she do

arrived?

At the beginning, she only took Bai Zhu alone, and it looked like they didn't bring much luggage.

So, where did those things go?

It's not that she wants to find her sister to come back, it's just that such a thing is too strange, she really can't figure it out.

However, if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out. Except for the occasional strangeness, Liu Jing didn't pay too much attention to it.

If it was really taken by the younger sister, no matter what method she used, it was always a good thing. At least, the wealth was enough for her to worry about her life.

As long as she thinks of her sister's good life, Liu Jing's heart will be relieved a lot: after all, her sister did not live up to her and her father's sacrifice, and did not blindly take revenge for them.

As for the sister who left them and ran away?

Liu Jing didn't blame her at all for this.

It wasn't that the younger sister was indifferent, but they chose it by themselves. In fact, the younger sister also came that day, presumably to dissuade them.

only…

She and her father had already made up their minds and would not change.

Even if they all lost in the end, they all accepted the gamble and surrendered, no one else.

...

The driver saw the woman got off the bus and kept standing still. Thinking of the fare, he held his hands together, rubbed his hands together, and said, "Girl, er, are you okay? This fare..."

Liu Jing recovered from Piao Yuan's thoughts, looked at the driver and nodded slightly, "I'm sorry, I ran away, thank you for your hard work."

After she finished speaking, she took out one ingot and two taels of silver and handed it to the driver, "You have worked so hard for so many days, this is the agreed fare."

The driver smiled honestly and reached out to take it, "You're welcome, girl. Don't worry, I will accompany you in, and I will leave when you are really settled."

Liu Jing leaned over gratefully, "Thank you."

The driver hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her up and said, "No, no, you are so polite, girl, this is what I should do, and we agreed at the beginning.

Let me pretend to be your brother and send you here to settle down, and then I will go out to do business. After a few days, I will bring my daughter-in-law over again, and this will be all right.

Don't worry, girl, I, Xin Da, are a person who does what I say, and I will definitely not lie to you. "

Liu Jing smiled slightly under the veil and nodded, "Well, I believe in you, Brother Xin."

Xin Da waved his hand and said, "Damn, what are you saying thank you, you should pay attention to the name, call it big brother."

Liu Jing nodded, "Yes, big brother."

Xin laughed and touched his head, "That's right. If you call me big brother, I will definitely not let you suffer. Don't worry."

After saying that, he turned around and raised his hand, knocking on the door of Lizheng's house.

Blue brick houses, big red gates, and Lizheng's family are very wealthy in the countryside, even if they are not far from the border, there are wars from time to time.

But no matter how hard you fight, you can't get here.

Therefore, after so many years, the people in the village had a good life, and the Lizheng family could build such a large yard.

Xin Da hid the money and waited for the people inside to come and open the door.

"Who?"

With the questioning, the door was opened, and a middle-aged woman in a blue cotton dress stood at the door, looked at them, and said, "Who are you?"

Xin Da smiled and bowed, saying, "Madam is polite, the next person is a person from Luo County, Peizhou Prefecture, named Xin Da. I passed by this place as a businessman and saw a lot of fertile fields in the village, so I thought of settling here.

This is my sister, Liu Anniang, who takes my mother's surname.

The two of us, brother and sister, want to meet Lizheng and ask how much the village's land is worth..."

Liu Jing raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect this Xin Da to be simple and honest, and his articulation was quite clever.

But also, he is not articulate, nor can he be a long-distance coachman.

The middle-aged woman was Lizheng's wife, Mrs. Wang. For many years, Mrs. Wang had never met such a polite and gentle person. She was really elated when she heard it.

Although they looked at the two brothers and sisters who were wearing coarse clothes, they didn't look like rich people, and they were still in the dust.

But I can also understand that if you are a businessman, you must be sleeping in the wind or something. If you wear bad clothes, there will not be so many bandits staring at him.

This is the wise man.

Acknowledging that he is also a smart person, Wang Shi smiled and said, "You two are welcome. The head of my family is at home. Please come in."

Xin Da, Liu Jing saluted and thanked him, and followed Wang into the courtyard.

Seeing how polite they were, Mrs. Wang felt even more comfortable. She smiled and led them to the main room to sit down. Then she called Li Zheng over and poured two bowls of water for them.

The two of them thanked Xin and sat on the chairs to wait for Li Zheng. After a while, Li Zheng came over.

"The two of you are looking for the old man to buy land?"

Xin laughed and said, "Exactly. Next..."

Immediately, he introduced himself and Liu Jing again in a blatant manner, and then asked how much the homestead in the village cost, how much the fertile land cost, and so on.

Li Zheng did not bully them as outsiders, and returned very sincerely.

Then, at Liu Jing's suggestion, Xin Da settled on a one-acre homestead at the end of the village, as well as 20 acres of fertile land.

Liu Jing is actually rich.

When he woke up from Yuanshan, Mu Huishou chased her away, but he also gave her a gold brick, and she exchanged it for one thousand nine hundred and sixty taels of silver in a single exchange.

For the wealthy, this is nothing, but for ordinary people, it is a huge sum of money.

In short, if she relies on this money to buy land and real estate, she can actually live very well in her life.

It's just that she is helpless now, and it is really difficult to reveal too much money.

Land in the frontier is cheap, especially in this small village. One acre of fertile land is only three taels of silver, twenty acres, or sixty taels, plus one acre of homestead, it is ten taels of silver, a total of seventy taels.

Please Tori is going to the town's yamen to apply for a red deed to settle down or something, and he has to give ten taels.

It took 80 taels for Liu Jing to settle the house where she would live in the future.

Of course, we have to build a house. The houses in the village are cheap. Even if it is a brick house like Lizheng, one acre in size, artificial materials and furniture are added. silver.

Liu Jing and Xin Da went to the inn in the town to live first, and then waited for the yard to be built before helping Liu Jing move.

When Xin Da left, Liu Jing gave him another 10 taels of silver for lost work. After all, he had been here for about three months, and it was almost winter, so he rushed back and came back later, really. Too hard.

Liu Jing felt really sorry, so she gave him 10 taels of silver, so that he could have a good year this year.

Xin Da thanked Liu Jing very gratefully, and then left. He made an agreement that he would come here to accompany her for the New Year this year. When that time comes, he will bring his wife and children together and act like a family. He will wait until next spring. leave.

Liu Jing is also grateful to Xin Da for keeping his promise. After sending him away, his heart is still warm.

The heart, which was once bruised and cold, is finally not so cold.

Thinking that she would still live alone in the future, she went to the town to choose three servants before winter officially entered.

This is a family of three. The husband and wife have a twelve-year-old daughter. The daughter is beautiful. In order to protect her, the husband and wife would rather be beaten than be separated from their daughter.

If a host with malicious intentions comes over and wants to buy their family, they are still unwilling to leave, and they will have two big teeth. There is really no way to do it.

It's just that although this person is doing business as a businessman, he is not a vicious person, so he didn't really do it.

They have been raising their family.

This family also knows gratitude and is very diligent in daily life.

Seeing this, Ren Yazi really didn't know what to say. When he encountered some kind-hearted masters who came to buy people, he would bring them out, hoping that others would buy them.

But the daughter of this family is so beautiful. Most of the people who come here to choose servants are mistresses. Seeing her like this, who would be willing to buy them?

It's not to trouble yourself by buying it back.

Therefore, this family almost fell on the teeth.

When Liu Jing went to buy people, Ren Yazi also brought them out. Of course, there were other people.

Liu Jing thought that she lived alone, and needed a man to drive the car to watch the door, and a woman to cook and clean. Originally, she wanted to buy a family, no more than four people. When she saw this family, she also just bought it.

For frontier towns, girls who are too beautiful, especially slaves, are naturally not good.

But for Liu Jing, who grew up in a wealthy nest in Kyoto, this family is just ordinary.

That daughter is beautiful, but that's all, after all, she's even more beautiful.

In Liu Jing's eyes, this is no big deal.

After buying them, Liu Jing re-named them directly.

The husband is called Liu An, and her wife belongs to Liu An's family. As for the original name, Liu Jing looked at it and knew what she knew.

Their daughter is called Bai Zhi, who serves as Liu Jing's maid.

Later, Liu Jing also bought a mule cart for travel and rushed back home.

Her home is at the end of the village, but in order to facilitate travel, she deliberately spent fifty taels of silver to build a road leading to the town, and it was paved with bluestone slabs.

In this way, she doesn't have to walk from the village head, and she doesn't encounter people in the village when she goes out every day.

Although Li Zheng felt that they were too much, where did they need to build a road?

But thinking that they are in business, maybe they don't want people in the village to see too much, and then make irresponsible remarks.

This is also understandable.

So, Liu Jing settled down here like this, and when the big family of Xin in the twelfth lunar month came over to do a show, Liu Jing's life returned to calm as soon as he left in the early spring of the second year.
