After foreseeing my exile, I stocked up on goods to travel through time with my baby

Chapter 79
The only solution for now is to procrastinate.

The clan leader stood up straight and said with a straight face: "Nonsense, there is only so much money in total. Now that I have spent it, what will I do in the future? Money is needed everywhere along the way, and even more money is needed to settle down after arriving at the border..."

Du Changgui stood up and interrupted him: "That's all for the future. Let's get over the difficulties in front of us first. We must survive first. If we can't survive, everything else will be nonsense."

When he went out to identify Gastrodia elata last night, he heard two girls, Ah Li and Ah Zhen, chatting. Only then did he learn that the clan leader had finally returned the money he had poached from Du Zhizhong.

He understood the clan leader's desire to continue taking a gamble on Du Zhizhong. After all, he had pinned his hopes on him for many years and put in countless efforts, and he would be reluctant to let go of it.But when it comes to large sums of money, it is impossible to make decisions without consulting the clan!If you want to be a good person and use your own money, what's the point of generosity to the whole family?

He couldn't bear this, and he had to get his money back.

Du Changgui's words resonated with most people, and everyone kept shouting: "That's right, what Brother (Uncle) Changgui said makes sense, we must survive first..."

The clan leader wanted to say something more, but Du Changgui didn't give him a chance to talk.I'm too busy to listen to his nonsense.

Du Changgui raised his voice and asked: "Clan Chief, will the clan run out of money? I remember there were 43 taels. Where did the money go? Tell everyone!"

The clan members' expressions suddenly changed. They couldn't help but squeeze towards the clan leader, surrounded him, and asked loudly: "Where is the silver? Where is the clan's silver? Take it out and take a look!"

The clan leader was so squeezed that his head was about to explode. He coughed violently a few times, pointed at Du Zhizhong and said: "Xiao Zhong said that he is just a small official, and there is no way he can receive such a large amount of military pay, let alone Not greedy for ink. There is another person who is really greedy for ink. He is just a scapegoat. I thought that he would not be able to bear the hardship because of his thin skin and tender flesh, so I returned the money to him. As a member of the same clan, knowing that he Anyone who is wrongly accused will feel soft-hearted, right? Do you think so?"

Seeing that some clan members were about to be abducted by the clan leader's lies, Du Changgui sneered again and again:
"Patriarch, patriarch, you are really our good patriarch! You don't believe in Dali Temple, which is under the emperor's sect, but you believe in Du Zhizhong's one-sided words, which is disloyal;

The people of the tribe are suffering from hunger and cold, but you gave Du Zhizhong your life-saving money. See what he eats every day.How much does it cost to hire a doctor?He is the only one who co-authored it, and the other tribesmen are just grass!It is unjust for you, Patriarch, to treat your clan members as trivial people!

Before the old patriarch died, he held your hand and asked you to manage the family well and continue it for generations to come. It's not good for you to manage a family well and send it to exile. It's unfilial!

Those who are unfaithful, unjust, and unfilial should not confuse right and wrong here and try to muddle through!For the present plan, pay back the money quickly and return the money that belongs to the clan.

If the money goes out of your hands, it should be taken back from you! "

What Du Changgui said was reasonable and well-founded, and every word was sonorous.

The tribesmen nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and the crowd became more and more angry. They almost started searching for money from the tribe leader.

The clan leader was in a state of panic. When his children and grandchildren saw that something was wrong, they immediately rushed to Du Zhizhong, who was lying in bed recovering from his injuries. They squeezed his family members away, slipped him out, and searched him all over.

Poor Du Zhizhong's family, they are like weak chickens, no match for them.He had no choice but to let others take advantage of him, and all the money in his house was found, a total of 41 taels and [-] copper coins.

The nearest tribesman rushed forward, grabbed the silver, and ran back to hand it to Du Changgui: "Uncle Gui, please keep it."

Du Changgui didn't reach out: "This is inappropriate!"

"It's appropriate, it couldn't be more appropriate! If you hadn't asked a few more questions today, all the money would have been lost and we wouldn't have gotten a penny! Don't you think so?"

"Yes!"

"It will always be a disaster to keep the unfaithful, unjust and unfilial Du Changxing in the position of patriarch. I suggest that our Du family change the patriarch. Can everyone agree?" "Okay!"

"The clan leader will be Du Changgui and Brother Gui. Do you agree or not?"

"agree!"

……

Du Ruoli exchanged some old stories with Wang Zhizhang and his wife, and went out to buy goods regardless of their efforts to persuade them to stay.

After walking about ten steps, I passed a pawn shop and heard a quarrel coming from inside.

A young man who was in the stage of changing his voice and had a voice like a drake said: "200 taels? Did you, the shopkeeper, make a mistake? This blue-glazed vase was originally paid for 1000 taels of silver. Now it is offered to you, and you only paid 200 taels. Two? Do you think I am young and easy to bully?"

A somewhat old voice replied to him: "The pawn shop has the rules of a pawn shop. It doesn't matter how much money you spend to buy it, just how much money it is worth. In our opinion, it is worth 200 taels. If Lang Jun feels it is inappropriate, you can find it. There is no need to make noise here elsewhere."

"Sure, I'm done with it!"

The young man wearing a washed white brocade robe slammed the door and walked out, his face flushed with anger.

His servant was holding a blue vase with rich colors and smooth glaze, and followed closely: "Sir, we have searched all the pawnshops in this county, and they are all at the same price. The master is ill in bed and urgently needs money. ,or……"

"Shut up, stop talking! This young master can't swallow this breath!"

The handsome man covered his ears, shut his mouth and ran forward as hard as he could.After running a certain distance, he wiped his tears with his sleeves and turned back to the boy: "Xiaohu, you are right. Daddy is lying on the bed waiting for money to save his life. It is more important to get money first. Everything else is important. It’s a trivial matter, I shouldn’t take it personally.”

With that said, he straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and walked towards the pawn shop door again.

"Wait!"

Du Ruoli stepped forward and asked: "Master, can you let me see this vase. I can pay a higher price than the pawn shop, provided the thing is worth it."

The young master's eyes lit up and he motioned to the young man to show the vase to Du Ruoli:

"Sister, please look at the vase. The color of the vase is even, the glaze is smooth, and there is not a trace of impurities on it. My father invited a familiar caravan to bring it back from Persia. It took a lot of effort and kindness. If it hadn't been for a family accident, I am absolutely reluctant to pawn it off."

Du Ruoli didn't take advantage of it. She followed the master's instructions and watched carefully bit by bit. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and the more she looked at it, the more she wanted it.

She had seen this precious blue-glazed porcelain through glass in a museum. She liked it very much at the time and had seen it in dreams several times.

She didn't expect to encounter him, so why not take it down?

Du Ruoli said: "Since the vase is worth 1000 taels of silver, my sister will not take advantage of the young master, so she can buy it from the young master for 1000 taels of silver. I will give the young master a silver note and take it with you!"
