Autumn is getting deeper, the evening breeze is blowing, the morning is wet and white, and it is warm at noon.

The carriage was driving on the road at a leisurely pace. Because she was too exhausted, she fell asleep until noon the next day, when Bai Zhi opened her eyes. After being stunned for a while, she opened the curtain and looked at the driver.

Only when she saw that the man driving the horse was not the driver from yesterday did she clear her doubts. No wonder she didn't feel tired after driving all night, so someone took over.

She frowned and thought for a moment, but in the end she didn't ask anything.

The carriage jolted, and the person who was sleeping beside him turned over, and a pair of charming eyes opened and closed for a while.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi rolled her eyes, this misfortune can really sleep.

Fortunately, they didn't continue their journey the next night, and they stopped at an inn in a small town.

"Does the guest officer want to stay in the store, how many people?" The shopkeeper asked enthusiastically.

Bai Zhi touched the broken silver in the bag, looked at the coachman, the coachman didn't look sideways, she looked at Wei Ziwan, Wei Ziwan smiled sweetly.

"Three."

"Okay, five hundred cash per room, how many rooms do you want?"

(Here, the default copper coin is one penny, one thousand coins = one tael of silver, and the purchasing power of one tael of silver is about equal to the current 100 yuan)

Bai Zhi secretly thought that it was okay, it was an affordable price: "Two rooms."

Her entire net worth was only three taels of silver, and she went there for one tael this night. Fortunately, there was still a lot of dry food in the carriage, otherwise they might have to sell the carriage so as not to be hungry.

The coachman glanced at Bai Zhi, but didn't speak.

Wei Ziwan raised her brows slightly, already knowing the eunuch's plan.

Sure enough, as she expected, the coachman lived in one room, and she and Bai Zhi lived in one room.

The shopkeeper led the people upstairs, the two rooms were next to each other, he pushed open the door and asked, "Does the guest want food and drink?"

The coachman and Wei Ziwan looked at Bai Zhi together.

Bai Zhi tightened her burden, and said: "No need." Are you kidding me, does she seem like someone who can afford food and drink?

After entering the room, she stared at the only bed, steadying herself, and she could not lose her momentum.

Bai Zhi turned her head and smiled at Wei Ziwan, "It's getting late, let's take a rest."

After speaking, he didn't even take off his clothes, and lay down on the bed directly, occupying half of the position inside.

Wei Ziwan was dumbfounded, this brazen dead eunuch, she pursed her lips and said, "I want to take a bath and change clothes."

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes at her: "You need hot water to take a bath, what if you need money, and as for changing clothes, you don't seem to have a change of clothes."

This troubled water was wearing maid's clothes in the cold palace, so she had to change out of the palace, just like her, she only had one ordinary dress.

No, it's worse than her. She still has two underwear that can be replaced. This disaster has nothing, and she is really poor and white.

Wei Ziwan took two deep breaths, this stingy, dead eunuch.

She forced a smile and said: "My husband, can you buy a whole set of clothes for my servant, just coarse linen clothes."

"No." Bai Zhi stretched on the bed, and flatly refused.

What a joke, she herself is reluctant to buy clothes for a change, she only has two taels of silver left, and she doesn't know how many days it will take to get to Ninglin Mansion, so she won't waste the money on this disaster.

Wei Ziwan took another two deep breaths, if she hadn't asked for help right now, she really wanted to die with this dead eunuch.

She imitated Bai Zhi and slept with her clothes on, neither of them was next to each other, sharing the same bed with different dreams.

On the third night, they stopped in a much larger town.

Bai Zhi had the experience of staying in a hotel once, so she took the initiative to say: "Two rooms."

"Does the guest officer want a sky-sized room, a local-sized room, or a herringbone-sized room?"

Bai Zhi: "..." Why is it different?

She squeezed the burden, suppressed the doubt in her heart, and pretended to be calm: "What are the prices?"

"Tianzi size is two taels of silver per night, land size is one tael of silver, and herringbone is only [-] yuan."

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Bai Zhi turned her head and whispered to the coachman, "We won't be staying at the shop tonight, how about driving overnight?"

The coachman glanced at her and nodded: "But according to Miss's orders."

Bai Zhi paused: "Well, that's what Miss Wan Wan meant."

Wei Ziwan knew Bai Zhi's family background, so she didn't object, but felt that the conversation between the dead eunuch and the coachman was a bit weird.

In the next few days, they spent another night in a small town, spending a tael of silver, and then stayed in the carriage day and night.

After finishing the dry food, I went down to buy buns to eat.

Bai Zhi counted the copper coins in the bundle, saving thousands and thousands of money along the way, and finally arrived when there was the last five cents left.

The carriage stopped outside a mountain villa, and the driver saluted a kind-faced young man: "Young Master."

Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment before reporting her name: "I'm Bai Zhi, I've met the young master."

The kind-faced young man looked her up in surprise, and then said in a deep voice, "I am your cousin, Bai Li, you...you can call me big brother from now on."

"Brother." Bai Zhi and Wei Ziwan said in unison.

Bai Li nodded, and said seriously: "The villa doesn't raise waste, if you stay, you have to follow the rules of the villa. If you don't want to stay, you can leave now."

Bai Zhi immediately glanced at Wei Ziwan, then turned her head and replied, "I am willing to stay."

She believed in her adoptive father, and this trip was to join her uncle, and now even her cousin called out, of course she wanted to stay.

As for this disaster, I don't know whether to keep it or not.

Wei Ziwan took a step forward and stood beside Bai Zhi: "Since the husband wants to stay, the slave family also naturally wants to stay together."

Bai Li continued: "If that's the case, then hand over all your belongings. Each person can receive a monthly salary of [-] Wen and take care of food and housing. Besides, each person has to tend two acres of land, and the harvest is his own." .”

If you can't even support yourself like this, then there is no need to stay.

After he finished speaking, he still stood where he was, as if he was giving these two people time to think about it, and there was still time to retreat now.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi's eyes lit up, she moved forward happily, and even opened the bag in cooperation: "Brother, I only have five coins for my whole body, can I get another 95 coins?"

Wei Ziwan was even more straightforward, and when she stopped there, her tone was flying: "I am penniless, can I get a hundred pennies?"

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other tacitly, earning money.

Bai Li: "..." Looking at the five copper coins in Bai Zhi's hand, why did he feel a little uncomfortable.

"Follow me in and settle down, and the housekeeper will give you a full monthly salary later."

After Bai Li finished speaking, he couldn't help being a little dazed. Those who went to the village in the past felt that the requirements of the villa were too harsh, and some left directly, even if they stayed, they would think for a long time.

The situation of the two in front of me is really rare. It seems that the life of the cousin is not ordinary.

Arranging the two of them in the same room, Bai Zhi and Wei Ziwan looked at each other again without saying a word.

When Bai Li was about to leave, they said, "Brother, I don't know how to take a bath and change clothes here, and do you have a change of clothes?"

Bai Li couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, that's right, that's the feeling, it feels like these two people are here to fight the autumn wind.

Hold on, the reason why Cousin Bai Zhi behaved like this must be because their life was too miserable.

"From now on, you will also be regarded as half masters in the village. The servants will take care of your daily necessities, food, housing and transportation. You can just order them directly, but you have to rely on yourself for farming and earning money."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Bai Zhi: "After packing up, come find me in the lobby."
