Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 234 It’s a blessing in disguise
"Please ask my boss to help me find a familiar shop to buy some ready-made clothes, shoes and socks for my clan members to change into. Here are three hundred taels of silver. It's not enough. Could you please boss to go and shout to my Yang family nearby, and I will send you some more money." "

The owner of the inn smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, "Okay! We will serve the relatives of the distinguished guest well!"

Ke Muqing turned around and spoke to her relatives, asking everyone to find the waiter or just go over and call her family members. Then she went back to the inn next door so that her family could have a good reunion.

Everyone in the inn is alone, so everyone is sitting in the lobby downstairs, chatting, drinking tea and snacks.

Ke Muqing asked her host to order and deliver the snacks from the teahouse for her. The children crowded together at a table to eat. Yang Shuangshuang and the older children helped take care of the younger ones, so that Ah Nai and the others could have a good chat. .

Ke Muqing sat down next to sisters Yang Xiufang and Yang Xiuxiang and asked, "Counting the time, you should have set off from your hometown not long after we left, right? Did something happen in your hometown? Otherwise, why would you suddenly Are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Ke Muqing left a lot of food, and there were three wells in the village that she donated. It stands to reason that the clan members would not abandon their property in the countryside so quickly and leave.

After all, it is hard to leave their hometown. Their homes, their fields and houses are all in their hometown.

Later, after the locust plague, even if you wanted to sell your land, you couldn't get a good price. People would be even more reluctant to sell their land at a low price.

"Mom, we were all forced." Yang Xiuxiang gritted her teeth with hatred when she mentioned this, "That Ke Zhaodi is really hateful. He led people from Prince Yan's Palace to directly occupy the village and drive us away. He treated our village as a training ground for Prince Yan's troops. place."

"Our house and land have all been confiscated. If we don't leave, the people from Prince Yan's Mansion will kill us all. In order to survive, we have no choice but to leave."

Yang Xiufang said, "At that time, I really felt like the sky was falling, but we didn't expect that it was a blessing in disguise."

They had heard someone say on the way yesterday that any man in Yan County who was old enough to have both legs would be captured and sent to the army.

The people under King Yan were afraid that those people would pretend to be disabled in order to avoid military service, so as long as their hands and feet were still there, even those with sloping feet like Wu Baokang had to go to the military camp.

It is said that even if you can't go to the battlefield, you can stay in the military camp and work as a cook. The shortage of people in the military camp is very tight, and anyone who can survive has to work in the military camp.

Yang Xiufang and the others felt really lucky after hearing these things yesterday.

It was sad to leave my hometown, but after taking that step, I discovered that it was actually not as difficult as everyone thought at the beginning.

All the clan members were together, supporting each other all the way, and they managed to get through it despite gritting their teeth.

"Thanks to the money my mother left for us sisters before she left, we bought some oxcarts and other things after we left the village and arrived in the town. We used them all along the way."

Yang Xiuxiang said, "In this world, money is really not easy to spend. In the past, we would never see so much money from my mother in our lifetime. I didn't expect that this little money will be spent in a few days."

"When we set out, we thought that Yan County was like this, and we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to buy anything along the way, so we spent almost all our money in Yan County when we set off. Fortunately, we gritted our teeth and were willing to give it up. Otherwise, it’s useless to carry money all the way, and you won’t be able to buy anything.”

The two sisters each talked about what happened along the way.

However, everyone had a safe journey, perhaps because everyone in the village walked together and everyone was so united, so no one with evil intentions dared to step forward and grab it.

All the stoves in the back kitchen of the inn were boiling water, so everyone would be able to take a bath soon. The adults washed the children first, and Ke Muqing hugged the grandchildren to her side. Wu Baokang was a little weaker and didn't move very much in Ke Muqing's arms. He took small bites of the hawthorn cake and ate it with great care.

The child ate a few mouthfuls, looked up at Ke Muqing, ate a few more mouthfuls, then looked at Yang Shuangshuang and the others. After seeing all the people in the lobby, he relaxed and leaned back into Ke Muqing's arms and asked, "Grandma , Dad and Mom said we don’t have to leave once we find grandma, will we live here from now on?”

Wu Baokang was still holding a water bag in his arms. He was obviously young, but he was thirsty all the way through Chen County.

"I don't know if I can leave yet, but don't be afraid of Baokang. Even if you have to leave, let's go with grandma. We will have enough to eat and drink every day from now on." Ke Muqing touched the child's sallow face and asked softly, "How about I ask Aunt Baokang to cook meat for us in two days?"

"Meat is expensive, so I won't eat it. I'll eat steamed buns or vegetables." Wu Baokang shook his head.

"Brother wants to eat meat! The meat is delicious!" Yang Chengzhuo came over.

When the two brothers of Yang Xiuxiang's family heard that they were eating meat, they immediately became energetic. Their eyes looked around, making Feng Ying and Zheng Qiushuang who were holding them laugh.

"Mom, why don't you cook some meat at night and it hurts? The child will be greedy." Feng Ying said, "I'll chop the meat into mince and stew it with some mushrooms and ginger slices. It should be okay to eat some like this."

"Eat!" Wu Hao shouted loudly in Zheng Qiushuang's arms.

The two children are healthier than Wu Baokang. They are younger and have no worries, so they are still lively.

"Okay." Ke Muqing thought about it and nodded, then handed Wu Baokang to Yang Xiu'e, "You stay here with me, I'll go out and see where I can buy food."

When Yang Shuangshuang and Yang Chengzhuo heard this, they shouted that they wanted to follow Grandma. Ke Muqing comforted them and told them to take them to the streets tomorrow day, and then the two siblings sat back.

The rebels put it more nicely, but among the larger population, everyone still called the rebels bandits.

Zhuangjun was captured by bandits. A few days ago, the people in Zhuangjun were so frightened that they did not dare to leave their homes.

But today the people of Zhuang County feel at ease.

The new owner of Zhuang County even takes care of the refugees outside the city, so he will naturally not persecute innocent people like them. Therefore, the streets of Zhuang County are even more lively today compared to the last time Ke Muqing came.

Because everyone knows that there is a kind new owner, so there is no need to worry about being remembered for being too public.

The people on the street have set up stalls and started doing business again.

Ke Muqing was also lucky. When he arrived at Bei City, he saw that there was still a pork stall open, with half a fan of pork on the stall.

"Auntie, buy pork? How much do you want? Where do you want it? I'll give you a cheaper price." The stall owner selling pork was very attentive after finally waiting for the customers.

"Business is not so good today? Why is there so much left at this hour?" Ke Muqing looked at it and couldn't help but sigh, the pork these days is really fat.

"Business is not very good today." The stall owner complained, "Our Zhuang County has let bandits take charge. Many foreign officials and wealthy businessmen in the city ran away as soon as the city gate opened, fearing that bandits would come and rob their homes."
