Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 210 Killing two birds with one stone

Uncle Liu had a smile on his face, and his expression was very relaxed, but there was a bit of regret in his eyes.

"Zhang Yuankong has a good knowledge, but unfortunately he went astray," Uncle Liu sighed, "I have wasted all my hard work all these years, as long as he is good, he will be sent to the general examination and palace examination in two years, and he will be able to go smoothly. Li has become an official, he is the most promising person in my hands."

"He will do what I say, and I will let him have no worries."

Sun Zhuang sighed and said: "It's because Zhang Xiucai didn't know what to do. He was doing well all these years. Who would have thought that he would suddenly go crazy and help the people in the village."

"A hero is sad at the beauty pass," said Uncle Liu with a bit of sarcasm in his expression. "He was asked to walk with Bai Yushu to inquire about the news on the village, but he was fascinated by people. If it weren't for this time when Sun Ji came out After all, I really didn't see that Zhang Yuan had already separated from us."

Sun Zhuang nodded: "Fortunately, there was no big commotion. Everything was settled before Zhao Jingyun returned to Taozhou."

Uncle Liu continued: "It's still the last step, we have to make a good plan to complete it. We have to settle this case, otherwise Zhao Jingyun will keep ordering people to investigate. Although we can't be found, we must always be on guard. Something went wrong."

Sun Zhuang replied: "Don't worry, Cha Shuo from the village has already been fooled. We will close the net as soon as he comes."

Uncle Liu nodded, and picked up some snacks to eat again.

Drinking tea and eating snacks actually made the cellar a little more comfortable.

Sun Zhuang said: "Then...is Fengxia Village still being watched by people? The girl said she would go back and ask other people in the village for me. If she knows about Ashu, she will come to the shop to look for me."

Speaking of this, Sun Zhuang frowned: "But I think that girl is just here to get more money. Those people look honest, but they are full of dirty stomachs. No wonder they can settle in Taozhou. I don't know what to do before and after." How much money."

"Isn't that great?" Uncle Liu said, "It's better to ask for something than to ask for nothing. At least you can find out what she wants, and if you have money hanging around, she will help you find out the news. If there is news, I will send a letter, how much money can a peasant woman take away?"

Sun Zhuang thought about the thirty rat skins, there really weren't many.

Sun Zhuang understood what the uncle meant.

What a bargain for these guys.

Sun Zhuang stood up and was about to leave when he heard footsteps.The two raised their heads and saw Uncle Liu's entourage.

The entourage saluted with eager expressions on their faces.

Uncle Liu said, "What's the matter?"

The entourage looked at Sun Zhuang, and Sun Zhuang took a few steps back, and then he whispered something in Uncle Liu's ear.

Uncle Liu frowned immediately, and he looked up at Sun Zhuang: "Something went wrong, I have to take the last step tonight, or it will be too late."

"Try to find Zha Shuo and take him to see Zhang Yuan."

……

The bamboo basket that Zhao Xuejing was holding was already full, and the money was almost spent.

Twenty or so coins, just gone.

Zhao Xuejing sighed in his heart. After they arrived in Taozhou, the money spent by the whole village may not have such a sum.

Things like paper, ink, pens, inkstones, and books really cost money, so children from poor families don’t have to think about literacy and reading at all.

Just buy it.

Unlike Mrs. Yang, Zhao Xuejing was open-minded, and he couldn't make money without spending. Besides, when he came to the city, he didn't think that Sister Luo could still sell skins. He brought ten pennies from home.

The ten pennies were also spent by Sister Luo in a while.

Sister Luo is out all day, so she should buy some cloth to make clothes for her.

For their family, Zhao Xuejing understood that if they want to show their faces, it depends on Sister Luo. With the cloth, besides the old lady's use, she should be close to Sister Luo.

"Let's go look at the cloth and buy some food," Zhao Luoyang said, "We must make new clothes for grandma during the Chinese New Year."

Others in the family don't need it, her grandma is wearing new clothes, so she looks like a Chinese New Year, and when the time comes, their children and grandchildren will kneel and kowtow, that would be great!Even if my elders don't have new clothes to wear, how incompetent they are.

To buy grain, it is because the government office has rectified the rice shops in the city, and the resettlers can buy cheaper grain, but each person is only allowed to buy one liter of rice.

For the migrants with some food, a liter of rice is useful, but those migrants who have used up their savings on the way may have a hard time.

When these rice grains are sold out, we have to wait for the imperial court to send relief to the northwest.

"Don't buy food for now," Zhao Xuejing said. "Wait until the Wang family village has settled the money, I will buy more cloth and silk, and I will make you a dress. The money you sell for fur is earned by yourself, and I will give it to you wherever you can." at home?"

Zhao Xuejing patted his waist: "There are still ten pennies here, and I'll give it to you later."

Zhao Luoyang knew what her third uncle meant, and everyone in the family cared about her, but she couldn't tell everyone that she had money.

Those mouse skins were sold and earned wealth.

When the mouse skin was exchanged from the system, it cost 90 yuan, but it was sold for 297 coins, which is [-] points of wealth.

She earned 207 wealth points with just one skin.

Before she sold the furs, she secretly calculated that the system would not allow her to earn a lot of money. In fact, the Liu family should receive [-] to [-] cash for furs.

In order to get a cliché from her, I only accept nine hundred characters per piece.

So she made a lot of money.

"Third Uncle," Zhao Luoyang said in a low voice, "We'll buy cloth, and we also need food. First, we'll buy all the food for our family on a head-by-head basis. After a while, there will be more food. Let's buy it again, and save the winter days." enough food."

Zhao Xuejing shook his head: "We can only buy grain at this price once. Just now I asked the guys at the rice shop, and they all said that there is not enough grain to sell. When it snows, the grain for relief from the court will not be able to arrive."

Zhao Luoyang said: "There must be food, just like Yuan Rang said that charcoal is enough. Even if Taozhou burns a few granaries, everyone saves enough to eat, so that people will not starve to death. There is no now because someone will The food is hidden and they want to sell it after the heavy snowfall.”

"Master Zhao has just arrived, those people deal with him on the surface, but they do things behind their backs. When Master Zhao catches a few people, the food will come out as soon as he uses the Thunder method."

Zhao Xuejing was relaxed when he heard what his niece said, as if there was really such a thing waiting ahead.

"Third Uncle, don't worry about not having enough money." Zhao Luoyang patted his waist, "I still have more."

Zhao Xuejing said: "You still brought money?"

"No," Zhao Luoyang blinked, "I still have rat skin tied to my body." With such a good opportunity, she has to earn more.

"Besides, we can go to other fur shops to buy a few, and then sell them to Liuji together."

Zhao Xuejing was stunned, Sister Luo still has mouse skin?Tied around the waist?Sister Luo is a girl, so he can't ask in depth, if it's Yuan let them, he has to carry it over and look for it, to see where it's all hidden.

Of course, Zhao Luoyang will not hide rat skin on her body. She is waiting for Wang Huai to send her a message. As long as Sun Zhuang comes out of the small yard, she will find a corner to change the skin, and then take these skins to find Sun Zhuang. Zhuang took back the recorder.

Kill two birds with one stone.

……

Liu Ji fur shop, the second shopkeeper is checking the accounts.

It gets dark early in winter, and no one should come to the door. He can go home and rest after he has done the calculations earlier.

"Shopkeeper," the shopkeeper said suddenly, "that man who sells rat skin is here again."

While talking, the second shopkeeper saw people from Fengxia Village walking towards the house.

The second shopkeeper took a look at those people, and there were four people, big and small, with things in their arms.

The second shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat, could it be the skin of a mouse?

The smiling girl came over first, and put the things in her arms on the cabinet: "Shopkeeper, we brought the rest of the squirrels."

The girl said as she wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, as if it took a lot of hard work for her to bring the things.

"There are forty pieces of mouse skins in total, shopkeeper, please take a look."

The second shopkeeper took a deep breath, forty pieces of rat skin?They really dug out the mouse hole, and they dug out more than one.

Zhao Luoyang said: "I have one more thing to tell Uncle Sun, is Uncle Sun there?"

"Not in the shop," the second shopkeeper said, "However, we can invite people here soon."

After the second shopkeeper finished speaking, the assistant rushed to deliver a letter to Sun Zhuang.

Zhao Luoyang looked at the second shopkeeper: "Let's give the money first, we are still in a hurry to go back."

Forty pieces of mouse skins, nine hundred wen each.

The second shopkeeper felt a twinge of pain in his heart, it wasn't about how much money he wanted to give, but... opening a shop is to make money, so it's really unbearable to accompany money like this.

But Shopkeeper Sun also sent someone to deliver the letter just now, as long as the people from Fengxia Village came, they would still accept the leather in nine hundred characters, but the second shopkeeper gritted his teeth and accepted it.

When Sun Zhuang rushed back to the fur shop again, he saw those people from Fengxia Village drinking tea on twigs. The man among the four was holding a bundle in his hand, which should be filled with money.

It made Sun Zhuang feel in a trance, as if everything was no different from before he left.

"Uncle Sun," Zhao Luoyang stood up with a bright smile on his face, "We are waiting for you, come and sit down."

Zhao Luoyang glanced generously at Sun Zhuang's feet. The boots were not changed, and the recorder could be brought back.
