Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

???? Joe's jewelry didn't get much silver.

Those jewelry are expensive when they are sold, but they can’t even get back to the pawnshop.

For almost three hundred taels of silver, the Qiao family did not let the injured Ruan Siyi go out this time. Instead, he changed his humble clothes and took Chun Tao and Ms. Chen out.

After going around for two days, I finally bought a small house in a slum area of ​​the outer city.

On the day of the move, the Qiao family babbled and explained to Ruan Siyi that there was not much money in the family, and houses in the capital were expensive. This kind of place was also bought for more than 200 taels.

The house is small, looks old on the outside, and old on the inside, but it is very clean.As soon as I entered the yard, there were two main rooms, one hall and one bedroom.There is a small room on the left and right, one is the wing room and the other is the stove room.There is a well in the courtyard and a latrine at the back of the house. The sparrow is small and has all five internal organs.

Then the days passed seriously.

When I bought the house, there was no furniture in it, so Qiao brought back Chuntao Chen's mother to buy some cheap furniture.This time Ruan Siyi didn't feel ashamed to stay in the house, but stayed with them.

He changed into a normal cloth shirt. Mother Chen borrowed a board car from the neighbor next to him, and then went down to the market with the kind neighbor, and bought some furniture from the market.

With a huge truck piled up, Ruan Siyi overestimated his physical strength, and finally the four of them pushed back together.

After buying household items, buying items for the stove, and buying some grain, there was not much money left in Joe's hands.After two days, Qiao gritted his teeth and took some of her and Ruan Siyi's good clothes as pawn shops.Although she didn't have much silver, she thought about it, anyway, she won't be able to wear it in the future, and there is no need to wear silk satin in such places.

Living in the capital is not easy.

Ruan Siyi did not understand this principle, nor did the Qiao family understand this principle. They were all born rich and rich, and they were born with a golden spoon. They eat the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and they are the best to wear. Who cares how much silver a bucket of rice requires.

But now it's different, because Qiao's carefully calculated the last dozens of silver in his hand because he was sitting and eating the sky.

She began to put down the bottom to deal with neighbors in the neighborhood, to find out where the dishes were the freshest and cheapest, to learn how to make delicious and inexpensive food with others, and to rush to buy cheap dishes at the end of the morning market with the women she knew...

Qiao's is not at all like the noble lady that used to be, she has become very ordinary, very inconspicuous, but she has a ruddy complexion and very energetic.

On the contrary, even though Ruan Siyi is wearing a blouse, he still has a graceful demeanor.

Just silent and reticent, and slowly began to lose weight...

...

After a long period of depression, Ruan Siyi finally fell ill.

He couldn't afford to be ill, Qiao called the doctor in a panic, and he poured a potion of decoction to no avail...

The more money you spend, the less...

Chuntao once said that she would accompany Qiao for the rest of her life, but suddenly she said that someone in the alley was willing to marry her. Although that person was nearly forty and brought a child, she was a good person.Chuntao said that she did not grow well and she was not too young, so she just got married like this...

When Chuntao said this, Joe sat outside and cried very sad.She knew that Chuntao was not because she wanted to marry, but because she knew that the family couldn't afford one more mouth...

...

Mother Chen also cried. She cried and said that she had no family but only a young lady. She was old and useless...

Qiao cried and hugged her, saying that she would starve to death and not let Mother Chen go...

...

On the second day, Ruan Siyi stood up and tremblingly said he wanted to eat.

He could get up in two days, but he was still very thin.When he could get out of bed and walk around, he moved around in the yard every day.

Suddenly one day, Ruan Siyi disappeared.

The Qiao family panicked and searched everywhere, but when he was almost desperate, Ruan Siyi stepped into the hospital.

"where did you go?"

"I just go out for a walk..."

...

Ruan Siyi would go for a walk every day at the beginning, and Qiao didn't worry about following, but he wouldn't let it.

In fact, Ruan Siyi didn't do anything, he just wandered around where he lived.There is no starting point, no destination, just walk like that...

The sun was so strong outside that day that he couldn't open his eyes. Ruan Siyi left the house and was at a loss after a few steps.

"Are you from the Ruan family?"

An old man sat at the door of a house not far away, looking at him kindly.

Ruan Siyi nodded blankly.

"Come, come and sit down, see if you don't look like you're going out." The old man took out a small tart and patted it.

He walked over blankly and sat down.

That Xiao Xiaozi was very small and short. He had never sat on something like this before, and suddenly sat down as if he had suddenly become shorter and smaller, becoming extremely humble.But occasionally one or two people passing by, obviously dressed like a poor family, at this time his eyes are taller.

Ruan Siyi was at a loss...

The old man was weaving a basket in his hand, his hand was very rough, and the sharp bamboo strip seemed to be nothing in his hand, pulling it indifferently, weaving it up in circles.Ruan Siyi felt that if he changed himself, his hands would be bloodied, but the old man was not.

"Being a neighbor for so long, I rarely see you go out. I heard your wife say that you are sick. How is it, how is your body?"

Ruan Siyi is not suitable for this state of small talk. Ai Ai said, "Okay."

"It's fine. We are poor people who can't afford to get sick. When you were sick, you saw your wife in a hurry every day. Alas...this man is still the pillar of the family, there is a man, The family has a backbone..."

"Yes Yes."

"Seeing you are full of books, you are a scholar. Good scholars, you can shine in the future. My little grandson will prepare for him to study in the future. When the time comes, I will be able to wake up the old man with a dream. "

Ruan Siyi looked sad, lowered his head, "Useless is a scholar..."

"How can you say that? Old man Confucius said that studying is good...Of course, it is not easy for us poor people to provide for a scholar to come out. Alas, to say so, it is still important to livelihood. It's also useless. By the way, what does your family do for a living?"

"No, no livelihood."

The old man looked at the thin-skinned scholar-like person in front of him, and suddenly nodded his head in understanding, "No wonder you say that nothing is useful is a scholar... Actually, it's wrong to think so. There are scholars on this street, usually. Helping someone to write a letter, copy a book or something, can also make a living, but life is harder. Study hard, once you can pass the exam, you can get ahead."

Ruan Siyi was taken aback.

After a while, after Ruan Siyi left, the old man sighed.

The woman in the Ruan family is also pitiful, and the man is a scholar, too noble, and the family is unsustainable.Feeling that it would be detrimental to a man's dignity to say it, he actually asked him to say this.

After thinking for a while, the old man stopped thinking about it.

After all, I have to live it by myself, and I have to lose somersault, and then I can understand the truth in this period. I hope this poster can figure it out.

...

Ruan Siyi wandered around again with a hesitant mentality, but this time he had a purpose, not a boundless one.

After watching it for a few days, he felt a little composing in his heart. After returning home, he went through the cabinets to find something.

"Miangong, what are you looking for?"

Ruan Siyi was taken aback and said softly, "I remember when I moved over, there were some pens, inks, papers and inkstones."

"You are talking about those." Joe turned to open a box and took out a pile of things. "Hey, it's all here."

There is an inkstone with a missing corner, two nib inks are already agglomerated with a brush, and a stack of white rice paper.

Ruan Siyi loves elegance. The books, calligraphy and paintings placed in the study are all of the kind that are extremely expensive. At the beginning, those people fled, but in the end there was nothing to scroll, so they swept away everything in the study.After all sorts of shopping, Ruan Siyi left this thing.

Ruan Siyi touched these things with a complex expression, without speaking.

On the second day, he asked Qiao for two taels of silver. He didn't say what he was doing, nor did Qiao ask.

In the evening, he came back with a special bookcase.It's the kind of box that is one and a half feet wide and half a person high, which can be carried behind your back and can be used as a simple small desk.

The next day, he went out with this bookcase and pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

...

It is easy to think but difficult to do.

When Ruan Siyi went out carrying the bookcase, he still didn't feel it. When he got to the place he was optimistic about in advance, he stood there for a long time without putting down the bookcase.

On the street, the crowd Hee Hee.There are small merchants and hawkers on both sides shouting, asking for a livelihood, and he wants to find a livelihood in such a place.

Ruan Siyi was standing there, a strong sense of shame and humiliation attacked his heart.

"Hey, are you scholars setting up a stall? I wrote the letter, and I'm still waiting for something."

He turned his head and saw that an aunt who was over fifty was standing there, looking at him impatiently.

"Put it, place it."

He mechanically put down the bookcase, took off the small stool above, and took a thin plate to pad on the bookcase, and took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the side cover.

The ink was polished beforehand. He walked carefully and did not spill it.Unfolding a piece of white rice paper, he took a deep breath and whispered and asked the lady what to write.

The old lady seemed to write letters frequently, and she spoke quickly.

Ruan Siyi listened and considered, and after polishing, he wrote the first family letter in his life.After he finished writing, he learned how others did, clinging to repeat it to the lady.

After listening, the aunty said anxiously: "Will you scholar write a letter? I don't understand what you write. If you can't write, I will find someone else."

Ruan Siyi's face was red, and he didn't know what to say.

He was a little confused and didn't understand why he didn't write well. He was proficient in all kinds of poems and songs, how could he not even write letters well.

Suddenly, he passed the aunt's phrase "I don't understand" in his mind like lightning, and suddenly realized, hurriedly: "This aunt, I will rewrite one for you."

"Then this letter is not money?"

Generally, helping people write home letters is charged by paper. One page of letter and only three pennies will be charged if you bring your own paper. If you don't bring your own paper, it will be five pens.

Ruan Siyi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't need it."

With that said, he rushed to write a letter, but within a few breaths, another vernacular version of the family letter was released.

The auntie was a little surprised to see him writing so quickly, "You didn't write it wrong, right? I didn't even start dictating, so you just finished it?"

Of course Ruan Siyi understood what the auntie meant. He had always remembered well. After a short time, he would never forget it.

Seeing that the lady didn't believe it, he took up the letter and dictated it again.

After listening, the auntie looked at him in surprise and said: "You are a good scholar and have a good memory. You don't know. My daughter married to a foreign country, and she will go to seal the family letter every other day. This stall on the street I am writing family books. They have written all of them, and they have to repeat it several times each time to finish one."

Ruan Siyi was joyful and bitter in his heart, and said: "Xie Auntie's praise, this is inappropriate."

Auntie took out a'min seal' and handed it to him, "You help me pretend it, and write Sun Yuejiao on the cover."

"Ok."

The auntie took the letter and left happily, leaving five copper plates.

Ruan Siyi looked at the five dirty copper plates for a long time...
