Chapter 284: Saving Your Life

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren looked at the hands of the shopkeeper, Yao Zheyu's little servant, and he didn't know what he was doing.

When the little guy heard the voice, he should have been waiting for a long time, and the little guy's face was a little stiff, "Zhou Xiucai, Zhou Niangzi." ”

Zhou Shuren looked at the box in the little girl's hand, "What's the matter?" ”

The little guy waited for a long time, he just wanted to go back quickly after sending something, "This is what the son gave to Zhou Xiucai, and the son said that the two will not owe each other in the future, and ask Zhou Xiucai to take it away." ”

Zhou Shuren stretched out his hand and took the box, "Please go back to Gongzi for me, Zhou understands." ”

The little guy thought that he would have to say something before he could send it out, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth, "Then I'll go first." ”

Zhou Shuren, "Please." ”

When the little guy left, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went upstairs and went back to the room, Zhulan looked at the box, she and Zhou Shuren knew that it was better for them to follow Yao Zheyu in the capital, especially Yao Zheyu who was a little blackened now.

Zhulan closed the door, and Zhou Shuren had already opened the box, "Come and have a look." ”

Zhulan walked to the table and saw that the boxes were full of silver tickets, and they were all large denominations, Zhulan poured them out and counted them, "It's really 10,000 taels of silver tickets, I thought Yao Zheyu had lost his life!" ”

Zhou Shuren, "This can only show that Yao Zheyu has not been completely blackened, but after returning the grace of saving his life, the last bit of temperature in Yao Zheyu's heart is gone." ”

Zhulan was a little worried, "You can go to the convoy tomorrow, let's leave as soon as possible, I don't know if Yao Zheyu is avoiding people to deliver silver tickets, don't be implicated by Yao Zheyu cannon fodder." ”

It's a pity that Yao Zheyu has changed, her and Zhou Shuren's plans have come to naught, although getting the silver money is also a happy event, but compared with joy and danger, life is more important.

Zhou Shuren was also worried about this matter, "This time I went out unlucky, the trip was not smooth, and it was not particularly smooth to get to the capital, although I brought fortune, but it has always been accompanied by the danger of life, and it is indeed good to go as soon as possible." ”

Zhulan looked at the silver ticket in her hand, now that she has the money, it is a pity that she doesn't dare to spend it, not only because they are in a hurry to go out of Beijing, but also because they have spent too much today, and the eyes of Yazi and Deng Xiucai have changed today.

At this end, the little servant returned to the Hou Mansion, "Childe, the box was delivered, and Zhou Xiucai accepted it, but he didn't see what it was." ”

Yao Zheyu dropped the book in his hand, "Got it, you go down!" ”

The little guy lowered his head and carefully closed the door and went out.

Only Yao Zheyu himself was left in the room, Yao Zheyu sneered, it was himself who laughed, he thought about it for a long time yesterday, and decided to return the life-saving grace, he still disdained to rely on the favor, but it seems that Zhou Xiucai is really interesting, he should have noticed that he had changed, so he accepted the box without asking what it was, and he was really keen.

It's a pity that it's a little showman, not in the capital, it's useless at all, I close my eyes and recall the conversation between my grandfather and my father behind my back, heh!

Early the next morning, Zhou Shuren went to find the convoy early, lucky, these days there are many convoys out of Beijing, there are convoys out of the city every day, and there is a convoy to the northeast in the afternoon, but there are no extra carriages and coachmen, and the escort dart master also needs to be hired by himself.

After discussing with Zhulan, Zhou Shuren decided to buy two carriages, and only needed to hire a coachman and a dart master.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went to Beicheng, where horses and carriages were sold, and the two of them didn't know much, so they could only give Yazi more benefits and help buy two better horses.

The horses sold in Beicheng are not expensive horses, most of them are domestic horses, specializing in pulling carriages to transport goods, even ordinary horses are expensive to death, fifty taels and one horses, not counting carriages, plus seventy taels of carriages.

In ancient times, horse-drawn carriages and vehicles also needed to be registered with the Yamen, and horse-drawn carriages that transported goods and pulled people over long distances were still controlled, and not everyone could do the work of pulling carts.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren were willing to spend money in order to leave early, and in the morning, the horses and carts, the dart master and the coachman were all found.

Zhulan ordered a lot of sauce meat, roast chicken, etc. at the inn.

In the afternoon, the account was settled with the inn, and the two left the capital in a carriage with the convoy.

Because the convoy was not a caravan escorting goods, but a team that left Beijing to return to their hometown, the convoy traveled so fast that it did not stop the carriage to rest until it was dark.

Zhulan bumped all afternoon, her bones were crispy, and she had no appetite to eat, so she ate a chicken leg and lay down to rest.

Zhou Shuren and Zhulan hired four dart masters, if they weren't afraid of being too eye-catching, they wanted to hire more, the two of them were really sorry for their lives, although they were ten years old, they also wanted to live well, aren't they cautious just to live a long time? I don't want to be innocent cannon fodder.

On the first night, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren didn't sleep much because they weren't far enough from the capital.

As soon as the second day dawned, the team was notified that it was about to leave, and there was no time to prepare breakfast for breakfast, and the team set off after a simple wash.

I spent the whole day on the road, and I didn't rest at noon, and the only thing I stopped was not to rest the horse, or to solve the three emergencies and get water.

The convoy traveled fast, and it arrived at the first post station that night, and the speed was really fast enough to fly.

Zhulan ate dinner and lay on the bed, "At this rate, the time it takes us to go back will be cut in half." ”

Zhou Shuren, "When I came, I didn't have time to go back to my hometown to see, so when I went back and passed by my hometown, I left the team in my hometown." ”

"That's what I want to do when I go back to see my father."

Zhou Shuren hugged Zhulan, "Sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow and hurry." ”

Zhulan didn't rest well yesterday, and she couldn't sleep when the car was bumpy during the day, so she fell asleep in a daze, although she slept, she didn't dare to sleep too deeply, and she mentioned in her heart that the quality of sleep had been bad.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye is seven days later, seven days in a row, the children can't bear the illness of several times, no way, the convoy to the county seat to rest for two days.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren also looked very good, if the two of them didn't insist on exercising, they would probably fall ill.

Although they were offended, they had already walked most of the way, and Zhou Shuren and Zhulan could finally rest assured, little people like them did not attract attention, so they didn't have to worry about being cannon fodder.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren's hearts were relieved, they slept in the dark on the first day, twelve hours, and ten hours were sleeping and resting.

I didn't make up for my sleep on the second day, but I slept a little too much, and I couldn't sleep anymore.

Zhulan didn't tense her nerves anymore, and she had a lot of silver in her hand, so she couldn't suppress her hand that wanted to spend the silver, so she proposed, "Let's go to the town for a walk, I didn't buy any good things in the capital, go to the town and buy more gifts to go back." ”

Zhou Shuren didn't want to lie down anymore, "Okay." ”

Zhulan's first target jewelry shop, this time she has money in her hand, she can buy more jewelry for her daughter, prepare a dowry in advance, and buy some for herself by the way.

Zhulan prefers jade, and does not like pearl jewelry, all because in modern times, I have seen too many artificially cultured pearls, which are round and big, and they are particularly cheap, so I really don't like pearls much.

Zhulan chose three pairs of jade bracelets, and some gold-inlaid jade hairpins, and finally bought a few delicate head flowers for a few little girls.

A total of one hundred and twenty taels of silver was spent.

Then the two went shopping again, and Zhulan bought some more fabrics, and didn't buy anything else.

Back at the inn, Zhou Shuren saw Zhulan fiddling with jewelry and didn't speak, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
