Chapter 631 Practice Martial Arts, Find Money
She was like an ant, lingering on and living a very humble life in the Liu family mansion.
All they ate were leftovers from home, which were not as good as food for human beings.
In order to eat enough, she even secretly went to the kitchen. After being caught, she was beaten half to death by Mrs. Xu.
If the old servant at home hadn't looked down upon her and secretly hid some food for Liu Pan'er, she would have starved to death.
This old servant was the stableman who raised horses in the family. Everyone called him Ma San because he only knew how to raise horses and he also had three big moles on his face.
He had a broken arm, but because he once saved Mr. Liu's life and could raise horses, he was taken in by Liu's family.
The groom has seen what Xu Jiasheng has done over the years and is anxious in his heart, but he is just a servant and can do nothing.
After all, even the branches of the Liu family were bribed by Xu Jiasheng, and no one made the decision for Liu Pan'er.
Ma San could only help Liu Paner secretly.
One day, Liu Pan'er saw the groom doing the horse gait, so he came over and asked, "Grandpa Ma, do you know martial arts?"
Ma San had an old face and was full of smiles, "Of course, not only can he know martial arts, but his martial arts are also quite high. It's just that he met a more powerful enemy and had his arm cut off."
Liu Pan'er's eyes lit up, "Grandpa Ma, please teach me how to practice martial arts. I want to learn so that I can protect myself."
Ma San thought that Liu Pan'er was pitiful because she was still young. When life becomes more difficult in the future, if she learned martial arts, she might be able to save her life in the future.
"Practicing martial arts is hard, can you persist?" Ma San asked, "But although practicing martial arts is hard, you will be able to protect yourself if you master martial arts in the future. Even if you want to leave the Xu family in the future, you will have the ability to protect yourself."
Liu Pan'er grew up in a cruel and harsh environment, so of course she understood this truth and nodded repeatedly, "Grandpa Ma, I will learn from you."
Ma San smiled, his old face beaming, "You learn, and I will teach you. From now on, you come here every night."
"Okay!" Liu Pan'er agreed and then agreed.
During the day, Liu Paner always tried her best to find food and avoid being beaten and scolded by the Xu family.
No matter how cold or hungry you are at night, you will come over and practice martial arts with Ma San.
Sometimes Ma San would leave two steamed buns for Liu Pan'er to eat.
Liu Paner worked hard and made rapid progress in martial arts.
Liu Pan'er gritted her teeth and persisted in living like this for five years.
Liu Paner is thirteen years old!
Liu Pan'er was good-looking, but she was not tolerated by Xu Jiasheng's original wife, and even bullied by Xu Jiasheng's sons.
I didn't want to leave Liu Pan'er at home and be an eyesore, so I secretly found a distant marriage for Liu Pan'er.
Although the other party's family has a great business, he has a cruel temper and has already beaten three wives to death.
The rough maid in Mrs. Xu's yard heard it secretly and told Liu Pan'er.
Only because Liu Pan'er had given her medicine when she was sick, the little maid was not burned to death.
The little maid's name was Xiaocui, and she always kept it in mind, not wanting the kind-hearted eldest daughter to marry such a villain and be beaten to death.
"Miss, this is my monthly savings, totaling three taels of silver and two hundred coins. Take it with you and leave as soon as possible."
Liu Pan'er knew that this day would come sooner or later. Although she was scared, she knew that staying would mean death. It was better to leave and try something else, maybe she could still live.
Liu Pan'er shook his head and did not ask for Xiao Cui's money. "Xiao Cui, this is what you have saved so hard. I am very grateful to you for coming to tell me this news."
"You will continue to live here. If you give me the money, you will have no dowry and cannot find a good husband."
Xiao Cui was resolute and put the purse made of coarse cloth directly into Xiao Cui's hand.
"Miss, although the Xu family is mean, as long as they can still have enough food and clothing. As for the dowry, I will save it slowly in the future. I am still young, so there is no rush."
"But if Miss has money, she will be better off on the road. If she saves some flowers, she can help her for a while. Miss is so smart, she will definitely be able to live like a human being."
Liu Pan'er wiped her tears and nodded, "When I become a human being, I will definitely repay you."
"Xiao Cui, you have to live well. If you lend me three taels of silver today, I will pay you back a hundred times in the future. I will return you three hundred and twenty-two taels of silver."
Xiaocui also smiled and wiped her tears, "Then I'll wait for the lady to return my three hundred taels of silver."
"The Zhou family from Yucheng will be arriving the day after tomorrow. Miss, don't waste time and leave early."
"Yes!" Liu Pan'er nodded, "Xiao Cui, take care."
In the middle of the night, Liu Pan'er came to the plum blossom courtyard that her mother had told her about.
I found the well and the big rocks beside the well, and then dug carefully with a shovel.
Sure enough, under a foot of soil, a small box was found, which contained six gold ingots worth ten taels and a stack of banknotes from Hengtong Bank.
After getting these, Liu Pan'er carefully buried the hole, and then put the box containing the silver in the package.
A gold ingot was placed in the stable where Ma San fed the horses every day, as a lesson for her to honor Ma San for the past four years.
She climbed out of the abandoned hidden dog hole without saying goodbye to Ma San.
Maybe this is best for Grandpa Ma.
Liu Pan'er stood outside the Liu family's mansion for a while, saying goodbye to everything in the past.
If she has the chance to come back in this life, she will definitely take revenge.
It was already getting slightly brighter at this time, so Liu Pan'er took off his clothes and put on a pair of coarse cotton clothes worn by a young boy. His face was also smeared with mud and turned black.
The boxes contained complete gold ingots. As a young servant, she would not dare to buy buns with gold ingots.
At this time, I used the three taels of silver change given by Xiao Cui.
She bought a dozen steamed buns to carry on her back, ate a bowl of wontons, and then went to the morning market where she bought horses.
She learned martial arts from Ma San, and also learned how to raise and choose horses, knowing what kind of horses are good.
She lowered her voice and commented on the horse.
The horse seller saw Liu Pan'er commenting on the horse, speaking eloquently. Although he looked strange, he didn't dare to deceive him, he just thought he was a boy from some family who was out to practice.
So Liu Pan'er spent fifty-six taels of silver to buy a horse, and another ten taels of silver to buy a saddle.
A gold ingot worth ten taels is equivalent to one hundred taels of silver.
Liu Pan'er was generous and heroic, "Hurry up and change the money. My master is waiting. If you delay my master's errand, don't open your store."
When the horse dealer saw this, he was more sure of his previous guess. He did not dare to have any bad intentions and quickly found thirty-four taels of silver.
"You're a good boy. You can tell he's smart at first glance. No wonder he's able to help your master with errands at such a young age."
"We are also destined to come and take care of my business. I will give you two bags to carry your things."
Liu Paner smiled and pretended to be bold as a man, "This uncle knows how to do business. Don't worry, the price you gave me is affordable, and the saddle is good. If I have business in the future, I will definitely come to you."
The horse dealer was so happy with Liu Pan'er's praise that he even put a saddle on the horse and tied the saddle on the horse himself.
Liu Paner put some unimportant things in the bag, but still carried the important things on her back.
