"Lady, the silver has been exchanged."

Ah Cai came back with a cloth bag, and Miao Ling helped him unload the cloth bag, and there were more than ten catties of new rice in it. He took out a string of money from his waist and handed it to Ranran, wiped the sweat from his face, watched Ranran count the copper plates, and shook his head vigorously.

"How can it be so little?" And there are so many left that have not been exchanged, and it seems that we will have to continue to change tomorrow.

Zhou Wu Zhou Yin has been gone for half a month, although there is no food expenses for the two brothers, but it can't save much, but there is a shortage of two laborers. Ran Ran divided half of the money from the sale of the teahouse into a coil for them, Zhou Yin resolutely refused to accept it, and after bargaining, only fifty taels were paid. But before leaving, he took another thirty taels to Shen Jia and returned them to Ranran.

Although their days are not yet stretched, the daily expenses and Mrs. Gu's illness are consuming their savings one by one, and Ran Ran feels a lot of pressure to keep accounts every day.

Fortunately, Ah Fu collected the land rent of Yunluo Village, but this stumped Ranran. I thought that the land rent was in the form of money, but a few truckloads of rice made her dumbfounded.

Ah Cai sighed, looking very helpless, "This price is high, there are bandits over there in Qingzhou, now that the city gate is closed, the official road can't pass, many rice and grain stores don't dare to accept it, for fear of hoarding too much, and then hit this side, and the money is not earned." ”

Miao Ling was confused and asked curiously, "What does the bandit have to do with us?" ”

Ah Fu took over and explained: "As usual, if Qingzhou is closed, the mountain bandits will turn to Yuecheng if they can't attack it for a long time. Yuecheng is not as good as Qingzhou, and this city wall is simply a void for them. Ah Cai glanced at him, nodded, and smiled bitterly, "Coupled with the Fang County Order, it is estimated that they will immediately send food out of the city before they call." ”

Hearing the mountain bandits, Miao Ling was so frightened that she panicked, and she was so nervous that she wanted to pack her luggage immediately, "Oh my God." Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to run away. ”

Shen Jia couldn't stand Miao Ling's fuss at every turn, she grabbed Miao Ling's hand and asked, "Where do you want to escape?" ”

"Escape, do you want to go back to Yunluo Village?" Miao Ling was a little timid towards Shen Jia. I still have the impression that she is an aunt in the Gu family somewhat.

Shen Jia was so angry that she almost vomited blood by her words, and reached out to pinch her face, but Miao Ling hurriedly hid behind Ran Ran for help. Ran Ran stopped Shen Jia for her, and pinched Miao Ling's face for Shen Jia.

"You're all safe, don't even think about going anywhere. The county magistrate was not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry, besides, even if you really call, there are many rich people in Yuecheng, how can they come to us. "She didn't think that the mountain bandits would be so easy to hit Yuecheng, if it was really that close, Fang County Ling would not shirk the Gu family's affairs.

Ah Cai frowned, and said in a low voice: "Lady, you can't say that, they don't care if they come in with money or not." ”

Ran Ran turned around and asked, "Then I'll ask you." As far as you know, how many times did the bandits come in? ”

Ah Cai shook his head hesitantly, "I haven't heard of that." ”

She looked at Ah Fu and continued, "Under what circumstances would they come to Moon City. ”

Ah Fu pursed his lips, "If you can't capture Qingzhou, or when you can't grab enough." ”

After listening to their words, Ran Ran let out a long breath and said leisurely: "Since Qingzhou is more difficult to attack than Yuecheng, why did they choose not to attack Qingzhou before they came to Yuecheng." ”

At this time, Miao Ling excitedly raised her hand and answered, "I know this!" Because it is close to Qingzhou. If you come to Moon City, you have to go around a long way and cross most of the mountains. But after speaking, he got two pairs of white eyes from Ran Ran and Shen Jia, "That's it." So many prerequisites haven't happened yet, what do you have to be afraid of, give me peace of mind. ”

After thinking about it, everyone felt that there was nothing to worry about, and then the relaxed atmosphere was restored.

Ah Fu came over and asked Ran Ran softly: "That lady." Are you going to change your food tomorrow? ”

"No change!" Ran Ran shook her head, and Shen Jia pressed her body on her shoulder, "You plan to use your home as a warehouse, I can tell you, if you attract mice, you will be finished, and I will kick you to feed the rats immediately!" ”

Ran Ran pushed her away in disgust, but Shen Jia wrapped her neck tightly, she couldn't move, so she had to give up. "Ah Fu, did you find the warehouse I asked you to find last time?"

Ah Fu felt funny and curious about the intimate interaction between the two people, "I found a few places, but the asking prices are too expensive, the cheap ones are outside the city, we don't have enough manpower, I'm afraid it's too far away." ”

Dissatisfied with his concerns, Ran Ran frowned, and pondered: "If you can't buy it, we will rent it, you don't necessarily have to rent a big room, an ordinary house without furniture is fine, but the neighborhood must be clean and safe, don't run to Gray Alley." ”

Everyone looked sideways, puzzled why Ran Ran mentioned the issue of renting a house. Shen Jia's yard is not big, but it is enough for so many of them to live, although the yard is full of rice, it is not a long-term solution.

Ah Fu pondered for a moment, looked like he suddenly realized, raised his eyebrows, and became more and more excited the more he spoke. "There is a room here, and the opposite door is an old widower surnamed Lu, and it is said that the house was originally lived by Xiucai, and then moved away after taking the merit test. Because the widower took good care of him, the house was now left to the widower to help watch, and every year he came back to collect a little rent, and the rest was left to him. Moreover, I have seen the house, but it is clean, there is no problem with the people, and the rent is cheap, only more than two taels a month. ”

"No one wants it for such a bargain?" Shen Jia was a little surprised.

Ah Fu nodded, slapping his face as he spoke, "Because there were people killed there last year, and they were still killed, and I heard that blood was splashed all over the house." Although it was cleaned, it was taboo for most people, so it was empty for a long time. ”

As a result, Ran Ran high-fived and smiled, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "That's it!" Ah Fu, you go to the widower tomorrow, sign for a year, and want to give a deposit for half a year. ”

"Lady, are you going to move here?" Miao Ling was very taboo about the house of the dead, and when she heard that Ran Ran was not only not afraid, but also wanted to rent it, she immediately felt very puzzled.

"Of course it's not that I moved here, it's that these things have to be moved over, so I can't stay here forever to raise rats." Ran Ran explained with a smile, "We don't want to live in people, so it doesn't matter if we are taboo or not, someone happens to help watch, give a few more money every month, and he can also help clean up, how good is this!" ”

Shen Jia wasn't worried about the problem of the dead, he just felt that it was unnecessary, "The question is why do you want such a big house, even if you move all the rice and grain over, you don't need so many places." Yu Guang saw Ranran's brighter smile, she sighed in her heart, and her expression was a little strange, "Don't tell me, you still want to be a warehouse and open a rice shop?" ”

Ran Ran looked over in surprise, and didn't forget to high-five and sigh: "Tut-tut, I said Shen Jia, you are getting smarter and smarter, it seems that Zhou Yin taught well." ”

Ranran's words made everyone present turn their eyes to Shen Jia, Shen Jia only felt a heat on his face, and nervously rolled his eyes, constantly moving on Ah Fu and Ranran's faces.

"What's the matter, what's the matter!" At this moment, she really wanted to strangle Ranran.

Ran Ran didn't care, she looked at Ah Fu with a smile on her face, and thought to herself, it seems that she has missed a lot of scenes.

"It turns out that you and I were under the tree that day, it wasn't you and Zhou Yin? Then when he comes back, I have to ask him when he has an old friend and don't tell me. (To be continued.) )
