On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 55 Escape 4
  Xiao Xiao pawned the pair of silver bracelets, jade bracelets, earrings and jade hairpins, and got a total of forty-six taels of silver.

She felt a little regretful in her heart, only complaining about Mother Li's rigidity, saying that concubines and wives could only wear silver jewelry, not gold jewelry.

As a result, many things were given, but nothing valuable.

In addition, if the item is put into the pawn shop, even if it is not broken, it will be lost by a small amount, so that it is only a small amount of money.

But this was better than nothing. She quickly went to the clothing store and chose clothes based on her eldest sister's size with ordinary materials and old-fashioned styles.

According to the second sister's size, he chose a larger t-shirt for her, plus shoes and socks, which cost twelve taels of silver.

Of course, the eldest sister’s clothes, shoes and socks total only more than 800 yuan.

She just wants her second sister to dress up as a man and a noble son. The material of this shirt should be good, and the shoes and socks should also be good.

Later, I also listened to some gossips between the store owner and the customers.

The most hotly debated topic now is of course the life and death of Shanda Ren and the three assassins.

"My family makes tofu. My head went to Sheng Mansion today to deliver tofu. I heard from the chef in the Sheng Mansion kitchen that Shanda was still alive. I also heard that the three female assassins went to assassinate Shanda for the defense plan. .”

"Thankfully, my lord, with your sharp eyes, saw through their trick and saved the defense plan."

Xiao Xiao felt in her heart, and estimated the people in the Sheng Mansion, that if word got out that the bastard was motivated by sex, it would really not sound good.

This excuse served as a cover for that bastard. When word got out, he had to be praised for his dedication to his duties.

Some ladies rolled their eyes and said, "Whoever believes this is a fool. I've heard that that man was a womanizer. He probably fell in love with an immortal."

"I heard that people are gone!"

"That's not possible. My husband is a doctor at the Huichun Hall. He was invited away by the servants of the Sheng Mansion last night and he hasn't come back yet!"

After hearing the gossip among the women, Xiao Xiao went to the teahouse again and ordered a pot of tea and a plate of peanut cakes, not to listen to the book, but to listen to the men's gossip.

Facts have proven that men are no worse at gossiping than women.

Moreover, she also heard an uncle say: "In order to give an explanation to Shangsheng's parents, the county magistrate can only conduct a strict investigation now. It is estimated that he will have to wait for the person who can take charge of the matter in Sheng Mansion to relax. "

"Best regards, Brother Chen..."

Xiao Xiao was really anxious.

They had to escape before the people from Sheng Mansion came, otherwise she might not be able to escape.

After she returned to the inn, while there was no one at the counter, she secretly handed two ingots of silver to the accountant, paid the room fee, and got back the mortgaged silver hairpin before going upstairs.

She told her two sisters about the outside news: "The second sister is dressed as Mr. He, the eldest sister is dressed as the mother in charge, and I am the mistress."

Xiao Lian is tall, so she put on a white robe, a round-necked blouse with large sleeves, and wrapped a few circles of white cloth around her waist to make her waist look thicker. She also wrapped a few circles of white cloth around her chest, which immediately made it flat.

Xiao Xiao then helped her trim her eyebrows, and she turned into a gentle young scholar.

Xiao Lian looked at herself in the bronze mirror and almost felt narcissistic: "How can I be so good-looking? I wish I were really a man! I can also go to school, be an official in the future, shine on my family, be able to I’ll support you.”

Xiao Xiao exposed her daydream: "Wake up, others are studying hard, but you fall asleep while reading, and still want to be an official? It's easier to dream."

Xiao Lian put her hands on her hips angrily: "Do you have to argue with me?"

Xiao Xiao was very honest: "Fighting up can make me feel more relaxed!" Then Xiao Xiao helped Xiao Xiu comb his forehead hair. His hair was meticulously pulled into a bun, put on a dark brown trousers, put on a forehead wipe of the same color, and looked at He's more than ten years older.

She pressed white powder on her pink lips again, looking a little more haggard again.

Xiao Lian couldn't help but stare wide-eyed: "The little sister is so skillful with her hands, and the eldest sister seems to be a different person."

The three sisters discussed what to say to the guards again before going downstairs.

The problem they face now is how to leave.

But the household registration check is strict, and they don't have household registration, so they can only find other ways to leave.

However, they all say that people are humane and dogs are humane. As long as you find the right person, you won't be afraid of being stuck.

Just like their previous hometown, wasn't it also closed due to the epidemic? Didn't he just follow someone's carriage and get out after giving him two taels of silver?

In the inn, there are usually guests staying in the inn in the afternoon. Most people get up early in the morning and are on their way, so at this time, there are few guests in the inn.

The cashier also took this opportunity to be lazy and lay on the counter to catch up on his sleep.

Xiao Xiao stepped forward and knocked on the counter.

The accountant was instantly awakened and subconsciously showed a gentle smile.

When he saw the young master behind Xiao Xiao, who was just like his parents, he smiled even more: "Young Master He, are you going out? There is Zuixian Tower on the right, where you can find fine wine and food, and there is a teahouse opposite where you can drink tea and listen to music. Book."

As for Hualou, he felt that he didn't need to introduce it himself, Mr. He should be more familiar with it than himself.

Xiao Lian rubbed the ring on her left thumb with her right hand, frowned and sighed: "I am penniless now, how can I be in the mood to go out for fun."

Then he acted awkwardly and asked him, "I'm in a hurry to go home. Do you have a way?"

The ring ring she was wearing was a bit big, and it had been collected by Xiao Xiao before, because she felt that it was impossible for our young master to not have some valuable jewelry on his body.

The accountant still had some winks. When he saw the crystal clear jade ring, he thought to himself: After all, he is a rich man who doesn't know the sufferings of the world. Even if his wallet is coaxed away by the woman in the flower house, any thing on him is still valuable. .

It is said that greed is not enough, but the snake swallows the elephant. Thinking of Cuihua's joy in giving money before, he felt regretful that he wanted less.

Therefore, he also wanted to get more wool from them. After quickly thinking about the ways he could use it, he still looked embarrassed: "The investigation is so tight now. I filled out a fake household registration for the young master before, and I have already cheated." It’s a big risk.”

"I'm not trying to shirk it, it's just that it's really too difficult."

Xiao Lian's face darkened, and she turned around to leave.

Xiao Xiu quickly grabbed his sleeve and persuaded him sternly: "Fifth Young Master, you have to go back as soon as possible. If the master knows that you came here to play, he will definitely be very angry."

Xiao Lian stopped, frowned, and got angry at her: "Shut up!"

The cashier felt even more proud when he saw his dumbfounded look.

It seems that they are really in a hurry to leave, so they can take advantage of the opportunity to speak loudly.

Xiao Xiao seemed to be frightened, and said in a low voice: "Brother, could you please help me think of a solution?"

"We have been here for generations, and we actually know a few people." The accountant stopped asking Qiao: "It's just that at this juncture, it will cost a lot to ask others to do things!"
