Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 138 Believe in Wang Jiulang (3)
The three of them were sitting in the study, discussing things.

"Father, are we really going to move south?"

Zheng Yuanyi sighed, "Sima Chu is not in the city, so he obviously abandoned the city and fled. If you and I stay here, are we waiting to die?"

"But father, the journey to the south is far away, without the protection of the big family, can we get to the south safely? If we really reach the south, how can we gain a foothold?"

Zheng Yuanyi also had a headache. They were in Phoenix City, and they still had some prestige in western Liaoning. They waited for Liu Sanbian's recommendation. After Zheng Jinxiao became an official, life would be easier.But if they moved to the south, all this would be in vain. When they arrived in the south, they would become poor families.The top-grade Wuhan family, when they arrive in the south, I'm afraid they can only beg for a living.Abandoning everything here is easier said than done...

"Sir, don't move south!"

Just when Zheng Yuanyi's father and brother were frowning, Shi Yue interrupted suddenly.

Seeing that both of them looked at him, Shi Yue felt a little nervous.Living here for so long, he never refuted them.But in the current situation, if she moves to the south, then the restaurant that A Ruogang opened will be in vain, and the promise she made to herself will become empty talk.After all, he didn't have to wander around and be beaten up to fill his stomach. Seeing that he could take the restaurant into his own pocket step by step, as long as he married Ah Ruo, or married her...he could become this phoenix The nobles in the city believed that as long as they got A Ruo's dowry and then her share, they would soon get rid of this kind of dependent life.But if they move to the south, all this will come to naught, and all the hard work will be empty talk.Ah Ruo spent a lot of money to sell the restaurant, and when he thought that he would never get the money back, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart.

"Sir, don't move south." He stabilized his mood, slowed down his tone, and tried to organize his words, "Students have heard that A Ruo said that it will rain in a month or so, and the drought will ease by then ...the current crisis will be resolved."

After Zheng Yuanyi heard this, he couldn't understand, when will his daughter be able to read the astrology?How can you predict what will happen a month later?But that's not the point, "Ah Yue doesn't know, Sima Chu has already abandoned the city, I'm worried that we may have oversimplified things. In the south, although we don't have much foundation, we are so good that we can save our lives. , if you stay here, if the exiles riot, how can you and I survive?"

Hearing what he said, Shi Yue was already half-decided to move south, and said anxiously, "Sir, have you forgotten what you went to Jingcheng a few months ago? Phoenix City is only a short distance away from Jingcheng." On the hundred-mile road, sir, he would almost die. If he moved south, the road would be thousands of miles away. It was a disaster year, and the refugees were like locusts. Sir, the road is not peaceful..."

"I think what Ayue said makes sense. Dad, I heard that the governor of the county has sent people to suppress the bandits and the riots of the refugees. He left the city suddenly. Maybe it was because of this matter, not the abandonment as we thought. escaped from the city..." Zheng Jinxiao thought for a while and said, "If Dad is not worried, I will ask Brother Li Yun again."

Zheng Yuanyi nodded helplessly. In fact, he didn't want to move south with a broken heart. His family didn't have any money. Just like what Shi Yue said, even if he went south, whether he could get there safely was still a problem.

"Okay, wait until tomorrow morning, and you can ask your brother Li again. I'll go and see what the Patriarch has in mind, let's make plans..."

"Here."

Shi Yue finally let go of his heart, thinking of not only A Ruo's dowry, but also her dowry in the future... A smile slowly appeared on his face, fearing that Zheng Yuanyi would see the clue, he hurriedly lowered his head go.

Under Liu Xu's service, Zheng Ruo washed up in a hurry, the moonlight was still beautiful, but tonight she was not in the mood to blow the xun, she sat blankly under the eaves of the porch, took a while in the cold, her eyes fell directly on the At the same time, my mind was very chaotic, and I didn't know what I was thinking.After Liu Xu urged her three times, she got up and went back to the house, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in a daze.

When I was half asleep, I suddenly heard bursts of loud noises coming from outside, and it sounded a bit sad.

"Liu Xu, what's the matter outside?" She just woke up, still a little confused, she got up, took a sip of water, and then asked Liu Xu outside.

After not hearing her reply for a long time, Zheng Ruo was puzzled, frowned and walked out, but there was no one on the catkin bed.Just as she was wondering where she had gone, the door of the boudoir was suddenly knocked open from the outside with great force, and there was a loud "bang", which shocked her greatly.

Liu Xu didn't care about etiquette, rushed in in a hurry, and saw Zheng Ruo standing in the middle of the room, she was taken aback for a moment, then walked over quickly, saying: "Go, go, go..."

Zheng Ruo grabbed her back and asked, "What's the matter, Liu Xu, what happened? Why is it so noisy outside?"

Liu Xu opened her terrified eyes, and cried, "Girl, girl, a refugee, it's a refugee breaking in... Outside... There's a mess outside, they kill everyone they see, they kill everyone... Girl , outside...run away...Landlord, let me come up and take you away..."

Listening to Liu Xu's incoherent words, Zheng Ruo also felt flustered for a moment, looking at the flames soaring outside, in a daze, she thought it was the time when the barbarian city was destroyed and raging.

But it was only for a moment, she took Liu Xu's hand, and asked calmly, "You mean the refugees are here?"

Liu Xu was frightened and flustered at the same time, seeing that her girl was still calm at this moment, she also calmed down slowly.Nodding vigorously, "Girl, a group of refugees came from somewhere. They were extremely ferocious. They killed anyone they saw and robbed them. The master sent Xu Yiqian to investigate, and they might be here soon... ..."

The Wubao of the Zheng Mansion is in a circle as a whole, and the outermost part is a circle of city walls. Although it is not as strong as a family like the Xie Mansion and Prince's Mansion, it is rare in Phoenix City.The outermost ones are the guards, servants and family members of Zheng’s mansion. The second floor is where clansmen like Zheng Ruo live. place to stay.
