Chapter Fifty-One: Planning

  She cried and made a fuss, and several rough servants outside also poked their heads in to see what was going on.

  Yang Yunqiu smiled and didn't get angry, but couldn't help but sigh that this family was indeed not a respectable one, the rules for the servants were too lax, it seemed that the saying "the slave bullies the master" wasn't just an empty phrase.

  He didn't have the principle of a gentleman who doesn't use his hands, he walked straight over and grabbed Wu Mama's arm, dragging her out the door. Er Ya and the female servant outside were both scared stiff, Wu Mama was also startled, but before she could say anything, Yang Yunqiu narrowed her eyes, her sudden momentum making Wu Mama's whole body tremble.

  "Your sale contract, your mother has already given it to me. If you behave yourself, I'll let your family reunite with your husband. But if you make any more trouble, I'll sell you to Old Zhao's household and see how you like that."

  His voice was gloomy and Wu's mother was frightened stiff, unable to utter a word.

  Actually, Yang Yunqiu is very respectful to women in his daily life, regardless of whether the woman is old or young, he will not speak ill of them. Who made him be raised by a grandmother since childhood? His grandmother happens to believe in karma and has taught him to be kind-hearted since childhood, even when stepping on the ground, he must be careful not to trample ants casually.

  It's just that recently, after spending a long time in the desolate forest and experiencing many changes, Yang Yunqiu was suddenly subjected to a huge impact. In her gentle heart, how much of the ruthless decisiveness has been nurtured?

  He didn't stay in the lower realm for long, he had to cut through the chaos quickly and improve his life bit by bit, but it was far from enough. The original owner's everything was capital, of course, he had to hurry up and sort it out.

  Madam Wu let her be pushed out the door like that, and even when Yang Yunqiu begged to take some of her belongings with her, she just turned around and told Er Ya to gather a few things together, making a bundle with a few clothes for her.

  She usually managed Sun Zhao Ming's monthly expenses, and didn't embezzle a little, all hidden under the bed, not even daring to give it to her family, for fear that her husband would take too much money and cause trouble behind her back. Who would have thought that this time everything was gone? Wu Mama couldn't help but burst into tears, truly heartbreaking, making onlookers cry. Alas, she had been too overbearing in the past, at home except for Chen Jiu Niang, who among those around her didn't know her temperament? Not one person showed sympathy, only gloating over her misfortune.

  The farmer next door laughed a few more times and said that the host family had finally stood up for themselves, and that this kind of disloyal old slave should have been driven out long ago.

  Chen Jinniang heard this and frowned, feeling that Yang Yunqiu's temper was a bit too much. After all, she was still young. She only listened to Ah Bi repeating what Wu Mama said, and immediately became angry: "Hmph, who does she think she is, daring to bully my brother? I think Brother is too kind-hearted. This kind of scoundrel should be handed over to the authorities and accused of theft."

  Anyway, Yang Yunqiu finally cleaned up around her.

  He came up with this trick, and even the other servants didn't dare to be slow in serving him. In the past, the dishes made in the kitchen were either cold or hard. When he wanted a dish, they would drag their feet and not give it to him. Now, as long as the kitchen had something, Er Ya went to ask for it, and she could get it quickly. Xiao Ya was so happy that she went to fetch many pastries for her master to have with his tea.

  Actually, Yang Yunqiu wouldn't know how to love eating this kind of sweet pastry, it's all just Xiaoyao herself eating them.

  Coaxing the little girl to go out and play, Yang Yunqiu took stock of her own family's assets. From Wu Mama, she searched out 33 taels of silver and a small basket of copper coins, which wasn't a small amount. Nowadays, even if you want to buy a servant girl with a flat head and a honest face for life, it would only cost three to five taels of silver. This shows just how greedy Wu Mama is.

  It depends on how you spend it, this little bit of money, a young master from a wealthy family might not even have enough for one or two times.

  Yang Yunqiu sighed inwardly, took the money and led Er Ya out of the door.

  Er Ya was originally worried about her brother's physical condition and wasn't very happy, but she was also frightened at the moment and didn't dare disobey, so she honestly followed Yang Yunqiu onto the street.

  First, they went to the bookstore and flipped through all the books, especially the history books. Yang Yunqiu strolled along the street, feeling that Quanzhou's commerce was quite developed, with many shops selling exotic treasures from overseas. Er Ya had already looked at so many things that her eyes were tired, and she no longer said anything about not wanting to go out.

  Yang Yunqi saw that there were not a few good things, the doll cheered excitedly, the spiritual energy of this place was much more abundant than on Earth, and even better than in Yan Guo.

  Yan Guo's spiritual energy is also abundant, and there are even many blessed lands of immortals, but the cultivators there are numerous too. On average, the speed of cultivation isn't considered fast, even with a Spirit Gathering Array.

  But here it's different, although it's just a lower plane, the spiritual energy is extremely abundant. Perhaps due to the incomplete rules, there are no cultivation methods, and nobody has truly embarked on the path of cultivation. Yang Yunqiu alone occupies the world's spiritual energy, which would make him feel very comfortable. Moreover, there are many spiritual objects, some shops sell crystal jade stones that belong to spiritual objects, even finished jewelry carries a layer of spiritual power.

  The doll's mouth watered at the sight - "How about we rob it?"

  Yang Yunqiu lost his smile. Even if he had moved his heart, he would not have taken it away. Not to mention that it would damage his merits, even if it did no harm to his merits, he would not do such a thing that went against Wu Yue's teachings.

  "These things aren't very expensive, once we have money, we can buy whatever we want."

  The master and servant strolled around for half a day before reluctantly returning home.

  Yang Yunqiu returned home and sat at her desk, practicing calligraphy while reading a history book of the world.

  He had also heard Wang Yi and others mention it before, that the time flow of this world is completely different from Earth's. On Earth, Qin Er Shi died young, but here in the Qin Dynasty, Hu Hai died early and Gongzi Fu Su succeeded him, changing the course of history. The current imperial court has a national title of 'Yin', with the royal surname being Zhao. It is now the 33rd year of Jingyuan, with the Emperor having reigned for over 30 years, nearing his fifties in age, with very few children, only one princess. Currently, the Emperor has raised several young brothers by his side, and it's likely that he will choose a successor from among them without any unexpected events.

  After reading these histories, Yang Yunqiu couldn't help but laugh. No wonder Wang Yi, this uneducated and untalented man, wasn't worried about not passing the imperial examination and changing his life.

  This era is completely different, the outstanding figures on earth have not appeared, and there are no poems or songs. Wang Yi, that kid, as long as he is willing to work hard, after returning to earth, seriously recite books, recite some famous articles, can slightly fool people.

  However, that kid still doesn't dare to join a group of bookworms, he just pretends to be stupid and stays at home to review his lessons. He can understand that in this era, when people gather together, they need to sing and dance, play chess, compose poetry, and participate in various activities. You can't not know music, you can't be completely useless, even if you're not good at it, you should at least be able to appreciate it, otherwise how can you have fun with others?

  Wang Yi is good at reciting, and this skill itself cannot be learned in a short time.

  At first, the body he found was very poor. After he passed away, he really had no money to find a teacher and could only self-study. Then after returning to Earth, he worked hard to make up for lost time. Fortunately, art is always universal, so what he learned on Earth wouldn't be useless in the Yin Dynasty now. It's just that it would ultimately be very difficult. He couldn't just drift through life anymore.

  Yang Yunqiu mourned Wang Yimo in silence for three minutes, then pondered what she should do. Since she had come to the lower plane, she had to make something of herself. Establishing a base and accumulating merit were options, as was entering the world to cultivate herself. First and foremost, however, she had to obtain an official title. In this era, scholars did not have to pay taxes or perform labor service, and there were many benefits to having a title. Without one, it would be difficult to take even a single step. Apart from that, she also had to make money - without it, nothing could be accomplished. The dazzling treasures on the streets had to be bought.

  Moreover, this place is plagued by natural and man-made disasters, and it's not as peaceful as the 21st century on Earth. There are plenty of opportunities to accumulate merits, but when the time comes, it will certainly cost a lot of money.

  After careful consideration, Yang Yunqiu felt that his chances of passing the imperial examination were not great. Passing as a xiucai was no problem, but becoming a juren or jinshi would be very difficult. Whether it was Yang Yunqiu from the Song Dynasty or Yang Yunqiu from the 21st century, he was thoroughly and completely a science student, and when it came to liberal arts, he could barely manage to write a decent essay.

  He even thought of using despicable means such as sneaking into the palace with a doll to peek at the exam questions.

  Sitting in the house practicing his writing for a while, Er Ya brought him a bowl of tea, Yang Yunqiu drank it and then got up to walk slowly in the yard, his body was still weak and needed good care.

  At this moment, Er Ya seemed to have forgotten the fear of the previous time. Perhaps it was because she had gone shopping with her master once and seemed to be closer to Yang Yunqiu. As usual, she chatted with him about gossip: "I don't know how the illness of the young lady from the other side is doing. Since Mr. Yin passed away, the young lady lost her mother at a young age and has been ill since she came to the Sun family. These years have not been able to nurse her back to health. This morning, she fainted again. I heard that the madam on that side has already prepared a coffin. Alas, it's pitiful. She was originally a noble lady, but fell to such a state. I don't know if the madam will agree to the marriage contract made by Mr. Yin and our old master back then."

  Yang Yunqiu didn't say a word, that Miss Biao had already passed away, and now the shell was occupied by Li Shanshan. Speaking of which, she could also be considered his cousin in this body, taking care of her nearby was quite convenient.

  After basking in the sun for a while, the communicator suddenly vibrated.

  Yang Yunqiu smiled and said casually: "Er Ya, I think it's a bit chilly today, go find me a cloak."

  "Ah!" she exclaimed, and hastily returned to find her clothes. Yang Yunqiu opened the communicator, which was Liu Sheng contacting him: "Teacher, I got some news from the medical institute that Yin Chaowei Wang is going to take his young son to Wēn Mountain for treatment, it's said that there's a divine doctor living in seclusion on Wēn Mountain."

  Yang Yunqiu's eyes flashed, and Wen Shan was near Quanzhou. It is said that the mountain has strange rocks, steep cliffs, many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, and many people who enter the mountain can never come out again, making it a very dangerous place.

  If the base is set up here, it's also convenient to get there, as long as it's kept secret, and there's no need to worry about outsiders seeing a large house suddenly appearing overnight and creating some kind of supernatural legend.
