Chapter 184

"There was another sum of money before? You lost it? "

As for this explanation, Ning more or less can't accept it. When she thinks that mu Yinyin is going to earn a reward for this place, she can't help feeling a little respect in her heart. No wonder her eyes were so firm. Such a reason is enough to be fearless.

But, in addition, there is a reason to make up for the fault?

"At least I was born into a noble family. Is it difficult for me to get some money from my family?" The evening Yin Yin small face a drum, seem to have some displeasure.

"Even if it's lost, can't you have it any more?" Although we don't know how rich the aristocrats in the snow dragon empire are, we'd rather be more sure that ten thousand silver coins are a huge sum of money for the common people, but for the aristocrats, it's probably just the expense of a dinner, and it's not a problem to throw them out.

Raise a hand to clap a table, evening Yin Yin drinks a way: "want? It's easy to say, but I've been saving my pocket money for three years. How much less clothes I bought and how much less snacks I ate, do you know? Don't think it's easy to be born into a noble family. In terms of expenses, the family is very tight. "

"Tight restraint can save more than 3000 silver dollars a year from pocket money. You really don't know how the common people live frugally." Ning Yue has no choice but to return. In those years, he and Ying Tianxu went down the mountain to eat something good in order to save a few more silver coins. It might even take a month or two.

At that time, they felt that the best thing in the world was to throw out ten silver coins and have a big meal at the roadside snack stand in the town.

Waving her hand, mu Yinyin pursed her lips and hummed: "well, don't worry about this problem any more. Just listen to me. Seven years ago, after two days here, my sister finally found me. When I said goodbye to those friends I just met, I felt unprecedented sadness. At that time, I also asked my sister if I could take these poor children to our home. I thought my sister would smile and agree. However, she refused, only promised to give them a lot of money. But later the war became more serious, and my sister had too many military affairs to deal with and forgot about it. Because of my loss, my family didn't let me go out any more... It wasn't until two years later, when the war ended, that I had a chance to come back here. It's a pity that things are right and people are wrong... "

"With the spread of the war, my former friends have passed away?"

I can feel the sadness of dusk Yinyin vaguely. Ningyue also sighs with emotion.

"Not by the sword, but by hunger, by disease. What makes me even more sad is that most of my brothers and sisters who saved me in those years died, while the younger children lived a lot and more. Because, in order to save more precious rations, they can only choose to feed their younger children when they are hungry. Why are they not children themselves

The tears in my eyes are moving, and the twilight wormwood sighs.

"I once again asked my sister for money to improve their lives. However, after the end of the war, her sister was different, and she had to face more things. The rest of the business was more important than my request and was ignored again. I have found Xuanxuan, and I have also found a few other friends. We have collected some money to send them to Xuanxuan, but they are just a drop in the bucket. At that time, I realized how powerless I was. It's funny that before, I always resisted the complicated skills that my sister asked me to learn, but since then, I began to work hard. Because in aristocratic families, only when they can reflect their own value can they get more pocket money before they officially run the industry. "

Hearing this, Ning Yue shook his head and said with a smile, "this is not the same? In the clan, only by showing their greater value can they obtain more cultivation resources. "

Then she shook her head and said, "however, it's still a little different. The pocket money given by my family is not pocket money in the real sense, and it is not entirely at my disposal. For example, if I've been given 10000 yuan on the surface, it's very likely that only 2000 yuan can be used at will, and the rest is fixed. If I dare to mess around, it will be miserable next month. "

"Fixed purpose?" Rather more some can't understand.

Mu Yinyin sighed: "the simplest is clothes and cosmetics. Women from aristocratic families have to learn this. It costs a lot. Even if you buy some clothes, you may not wear them once, and some cosmetics will not be used once, but you have to buy new ones every month. The old, the unwanted, are either thrown away or given to the servants

"Waste."

This is the most direct idea of ningyue.

Nodding repeatedly, mu Yinyin replied: "I think it's a waste, but I have to do it. Or, like my sister, I choose to command the army, which naturally does not require so much red tape. But I'm more reluctant to do that. It's OK to fight occasionally. It's totally useless to command the army to fight. "

"However, your level of magic chess is really high. I've heard that few people in the army are happy, and they often use magic chess to compare marching, setting up battle lines and playing chess. "

"Then you know it's just a gesture. If I didn't play chess well, I would be even more sad. Forget it. It's off topic. Don't mention it. To get back to the point, although the war ended five years ago, it lasted too long and many children became orphans. There are a lot of people here, and then there are many more on and off. In addition to these here, some nearby vagrants who do not want to leave their land will also run to scratch their meals from time to time. And for the sake of children's health, drugs and regular inspection are also essential. In fact, it's very expensive. "

Mu Yinyin turned her head and looked at the children not far away. She said with a bitter smile, "although they are no different from ordinary people now, many of them still have old diseases because of the sufferings they have suffered. They are extremely painful when they attack. The last bounty was used to repair the old house that was about to collapse. There was not much left. This time, I have also brought some money with me. I just hope that they can hold on for a while longer. "

"In other words, is there no real estate of your family in Xinghuang city?" Ning Yue was still a little confused. He had the impression that the aristocratic family would buy a lot of real estate even if they were not occupied.

"No. One thing you may not know is that five years ago, the pacification of the war was still based on one foundation. The new emperor compromised with the aristocratic family and did not touch any of their assets. During the war, there were many aristocrats who were crazy to collect money, and the real estate without a residence was also under their name. My father never does such a thing, only guarding his own territory. Xuanxuan, as the eldest son of his family, only has an industry in the imperial capital. This Xinghuang city is not our family's territory. There is nothing. "

With a sigh, she looks up at the roof beam which has been repaired more than once, and looks lonely.

"I don't want them to live here if I can. It's a pity that there's only a limited amount of help. "

At this time, out of the di Jie finally came back, look at her face seems to be some not very good, slightly frowning. Ningyue has been paying attention to the movement outside the wall, vaguely heard that there has been a quarrel.

"What's the matter with you, sister Dee?"

This time, the dusk Yin Yin is also aware of something wrong, instantly get up to ask. At a glance, Yu Guang happened to see several figures leaving slowly outside the low wall.

"Things are not easy to explain. In a word, these have nothing to do with Xiaoyin. Don't ask." Tiejie shook her head and sighed. She quickly turned to the door and muttered, "ah Hui, they went shopping. Why are they so slow? I'll go and have a look, or I can ask them to buy more... "

The moment seized her wrist, grabbed the body shape of leaving, mu Yinyin continued to ask: "sister Di, for me, anything here is not irrelevant. Come on, what's going on? "

After a little hesitation, sister Di sighed again and said, "Xiaoyin, you should know that when our children grow up to 16 years old, they basically face two choices. Either stay to take care of the smaller ones and find a decent job to subsidize them. Or leave, to find their own life. No matter which one, we will not stop. Of course, more people are willing to choose the former, and want to continue to pass on the warmth they have received... "

Mu Yinyin nodded and said, "of course I know that. I also helped some of the people who left to make arrangements for their work. Among them, although many people come back less, they will send more or less money and clothes to show their heart. Of course, there are also people who want to get rid of the past completely. There is no news from them any more. "

"Remember Xiao Ao? He's the best man we've done since we went out. Besides you, he's the one who supports us most. Just now, he came to me again... "

"Of course, I always like to bully people, but the little Ao who was treated by you was obedient. If I remember correctly, he is a few years older than you, and I didn't object to that. We've been joking. You two are a couple Evening Yin Yin inexplicably a smile, in the heart already has the final conclusion.

"What's the matter? Isn't it good for him to come to you? Why calm down? "

With a long sigh, sister Di replied, "he wants to take me away. He doesn't want me to stay here. Of course, you can come back to see the children from time to time, and you will get a better job and earn more money to make the children here live a better life... But since Xiao Ao came back a year and a half ago, I feel that he is not right, not the same as before. I can't say what's wrong. I just think that he used to bully people for fun. But now, there is a faint sense of discomfort or fear in him

Eyes slightly a MI, the dusk Yin Yin asks a way: "what is he doing now?"

"I don't know. This is also the place I am most worried about. I didn't give him an accurate answer when I asked him. I just said that I could make a lot of money when I met a noble person. If he didn't leave a lot of money, we would think he was cheated. "

There was a trace of worry in sister Di's eyes. At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house. She suddenly turned her head and grabbed Xiaoyin's hand, pleading: "maybe Xiaoao is back. Xiaoyin, help me persuade him. "

"It's natural. Ningyue, let's go. "

Finally let go of the wrist of Di Jie, and the dusk Yin Yin brushed away. Judging from the sound, there were many people coming. The disordered footsteps were filled with a hint of violence.

Those who come are not good.

Stepping out of the low wall, I'd rather look at more than ten people holding sticks or knives in front of me. Looking back at sister Di, I asked, "are they?"

"No! Who are you Tiejie was also surprised.

The leader stepped forward with an iron bar and said: "don't care who we are? I'll give you half an hour to get out of here. Our elder brother likes this yard and wants to buy it. "

When the voice fell, he popped up a silver coin and landed directly on the ground. Bang. Then, a foot heavily stepped on the silver coin, rather colder relative, hum: "if, I say no?"
