Chapter 7: The Last Gege VI
"What do you say? Your broken ship will cost you five hundred taels of silver? Duofu, one of the two servants of the prince of Shun, shouted.
The boat boss snorted: "Don't rent a boat if you don't have money, there are many people fleeing south now." If you don't rent, there will be others who will rent. ”
After hearing this, Prince Shun said to Fu Jin: "Give him five hundred taels, there are fewer and fewer ships in the port, and you can only rent their boats." ”
Fu Jin took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and handed it to the boat boss, but the boat boss refused to accept it: "No silver tickets, as long as silver and silver dollars, gold is fine." ”
Fu Jin frowned and said, "How can we take so much cash when we flee?" Only silver tickets, do you want them? ”
The captain still refused: "Now that the world is chaotic, the money bank is bankrupt, and all the silver tickets have become waste paper, I don't want it." ”
"What?" Prince Shun and Fu Jin were taken aback, and Fu Jin was even more shaky and was about to faint. She only has silver tickets left on her now, and these silver tickets have become waste paper, how will they live in the future? Fu Jin couldn't help but regret it, he knew that he wouldn't give the silver and jewelry to others, and those added up to two or three hundred taels of silver.
The boat boss glanced at Prince Shun and Fu Jin with contempt, these two looked like the once high-ranking officials, and they didn't understand many things. Hehe, looking at their current distress, why is their heart so happy?
"We don't take cash tickets, don't rent a boat if you don't have money." After saying that, the boat boss turned around and left.
Prince Shun and Fu Jin's faces were pale, Prince Shun glared at Fu Jin fiercely, blaming Fu Jin for giving all the silver and jewelry to others, making his family a poor egg, not only could he not even rent a boat, but his future life would be a problem.
"Wait a minute." Yun An walked over and called out to the boat boss, took out three gold hairpins and two pieces of mutton fat jade jade from his package, and said to the boat boss, "The value of these three gold hairpins and two jade pendants is more than 1,000 taels, which is more than double that of 500 taels, can they be used to rent your boat?" ”
The boat boss took the golden hairpin and jade pendant, looked at it carefully, bit it with his teeth again, and said, "Okay, I will accept the golden hairpin and jade pendant, you can get on the boat." ”
Prince Shun breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yun An: "Fortunately, I have you." Do you still have jewelry? ”
Yun An said: "Ama rest assured, my daughter still has one or two pieces of jewelry, and if she sells it, she can exchange it for one or two hundred oceans for us to live on." ”
Fu Jin: "It's only one or two hundred, how can it be enough for our family to live." ”
Prince Shun glared at Fu Jin: "If you hadn't given your jewelry to others, how could we only have these two hundred oceans left." ”
Yun Ping hurriedly said: "I also have a few pieces of jewelry here, and if I sell them, I can exchange them for a few dollars." And when we got to the south, Ricky helped us make arrangements. ”
Apple Lan spoke: "You can't live in the second aunt's house all the time, let the second aunt take care of it." ”
Fu Jin said angrily: "You don't want to be helped by Ruiqi, you can not go, it is my uncle's house, not your uncle's house." ”
Prince Shun shouted: "Shut up." ”
The battle that Fu Jin and Yu Lan had just ignited was stopped by Prince Shun, and the two glared at each other hatefully, each pulling their daughter and son to the boat. Prince Shun sighed and took Duofu and Duoshou on the boat. At this time, Prince Shun finally realized that he was no longer the prince, and he realized the importance of money.
The ship finally set sail, and looking at the port that was getting farther and farther away, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Five hundred taels of silver included the food expenses of the group after they got on the boat, but the food provided by the boatman was very rough, even rougher than the food eaten by the people in the palace, Fu Jin put down his chopsticks after taking a bite: "How can such an unpalatable thing be given to us?" Swap something delicious. ”
The boat boss smiled: "If you want to eat something delicious, give money." ”
Fu Jin's face was flushed with choking on his words, and he said angrily: "Yun Kang, give him a piece of your jewelry." ”
Yun An said lightly: "Yan Erniang, please forgive me for not being able to do it." ”
Fu Jin said angrily: "You don't even listen to me? You're unfilial. ”
As soon as Apple Lan heard this, she was angry, and wanted to roll up her sleeves to quarrel with Fu Jin, Yun An grabbed her and said to Fu Jin: "Yan Erniang, we are not as good as we were at the beginning, these jewelry can't be wasted casually, let's wait for the shore and then exchange the money for future living expenses." ”
Prince Shun also spoke: "Do you think you are still a noble lady in Sijiu City?" We are now fleeing, not playing, and if you are not used to eating these meals, don't eat them, and go hungry. ”
"I ......" Fu Jin only felt that Prince Shun was partial, since Yun An took out the jewelry to change the boat fare, Prince Shun was partial to Yun An, listened to her in everything, and did not take his own Fu Jin in his eyes. If it goes on like this, where will I still have a status in this family?
"Eniang, this steamed fish tastes good, you can taste it." Yun Ping hurriedly grabbed a chopstick and put the fish meat into Chang Fujin's bowl, pulled her sleeve again, and made a look. Chang Fujin suppressed his anger and lowered his head to eat.
After the meal, Chang Fujin returned to his room, and Yun Ping also followed in to comfort Chang Fujin.
"Look at you Amma, who listens to that girl for everything now, and doesn't even take our mother and daughter in her eyes." Chang Fu Jin snorted angrily.
"E-niang, don't be like this, Yun An is for the good of all of us, and Ama will listen to her." Yun Ping felt that Yun An had done a good job, and if it hadn't been for Yun An's reminder, they would not have succeeded in escaping the capital; If Yun An hadn't been prepared, they wouldn't have gotten on the boat heading south; Even Yun An refused to give the boat boss jewelry, and Yun Ping felt that it was Yun An who was right. All the silver tickets brought by Eniang have become waste paper, and now they can only count on the jewelry to exchange for money, so naturally they can't waste it casually, and they are fleeing, so they shouldn't pay attention to their appetites. I don't know why E-Niang can't think about it so much, she always has to target Yun An, as if since she fled, her noble and gentle E-Niang has disappeared.
"What's good? I think she's too scheming. Chang Fujin said angrily, "You kid should have more eyes and guard against her, so as not to sell her." I can be regarded as having opened it, Yun An's honesty was pretended to be before, and this girl is much more thoughtful than her mother. You have to hide those pieces of jewelry so that she doesn't get them. ”
"E-Niang...... "These pieces of jewelry were brought out by Yun An for her, if Yun An wanted to be greedy, she would have been greedy, so why wait until now."
"When you get to the south, you hurry back to Nalan's house, and you must not let their mother and daughter get entangled ......"
"E-Niang......" Yun Ping sighed in his heart, what's wrong with E-Niang? It's like having the persecution paranoia that the eldest sister said.
……
Just as the ship of Prince Shun and his party left the port, a foreign steamer sailed into the port, and Yun Ping and Yun An's eldest sister Yun Kang got off the ship, accompanied by a short-haired man in a suit. Yun Kang said to the man worriedly: "Zihan, is it dangerous for you to do this?" The government will arrest you, and in the past two years, many people who have returned from abroad have been killed by the government because of changing their hairstyles. ”
The young man named Deng Zihan smiled at Yun Kang soothingly: "Don't worry, I am now a citizen of Citigroup, and the government of the Qing Dynasty has no right to arrest me." What's more, it's a question whether the Qing government is still there. ”
"What do you mean?" Yun Kang asked inexplicably.
"Nothing." Deng Zihan changed the topic with a smile, "There are so many people in this port, it seems that they are all going to leave by boat." ”
"I didn't have so many people before I went abroad, and it seems that China has changed a lot in the past two years." Yun Kang said.
The two of them found a restaurant to rest and eat, and they went from the place where the news was most circulating to the news that shocked Yun Kang: the Qing Dynasty is dead, the little emperor has abdicated, and there is no emperor in this country, only the big president.
Yun Kang was so shocked that his chopsticks fell on the table: "The Qing Dynasty is dead?" What about the royal family of the Qing Dynasty? Are they all okay? ”
"Who knows." Xiao Erdao, who gave Yun Kang the news, said, "How can we civilians know about those noble people's affairs?" However, according to the people who fled, the mob on the other side of the capital took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and ran to the homes of the rich and noble, but killed, injured and looted, and many people were robbed, and many people were killed. ”
Yun Kang immediately stood up and said to Deng Zihan: "Zihan, I want to go back to the capital quickly." ”
Deng Zihan said understandingly: "Okay, let's set off immediately." ”
The two hired the fastest carriage to rush to the capital, and the capital had stabilized, but when the two came to the Shunwang Mansion, they only saw the Shunwang Mansion burned to ashes - the mob did not find anything valuable, and set fire to the Shunwang Mansion in a fit of rage.
"Ama - Eniang - " Yun Kang's body shook slightly, tears came out of her eyes, or she has a strong personality, so she will only shed tears, and change to another woman, I am afraid that she will cry or faint if she can't stand the stimulation.
"Yun Kang-" Yun Kang seemed to hear his mother's voice in a trance.
"Yun Kang-" is not an illusion, it is really Eniang's voice.
"E-niang!" Yun Kang hurriedly turned around, and saw his biological mother Zhilan shouting to himself not far away.
Yun Kang hurriedly ran over: "Eniang, you, why are you like this?" What about Ama and Yun Ping, Yun An? ”
Zhilan's appearance was quite embarrassed, wearing gray coarse cloth clothes, no jewelry and headdress, and the expression on her face was very haggard.
"It's okay, I deliberately pretended to be like this, so that I could save a lot of trouble." Zhilan comforted Yun Kang and said, "You Ama and the others have gone south to join Yun Ping's husband's family, and E-Niang will wait for you and stay in the capital." Your uncle's family also left, and now E-Niang lives in a small courtyard left by your uncle. ”
"E-niang, thank you for your hard work." Yun Kang was extremely moved, if it wasn't for waiting for herself, E-Niang would not have stayed in the capital alone.
"E-niang is not hard." Zhilan smiled happily, "Being able to wait until you come back, E-Niang thinks it's worth it." Let's go, hurry back to the yard with me, I'll give you noodles to eat. The dumplings that saw off the wind noodles, and Eniang gave you a big bowl of noodles. ”
