Chapter 3 Scattering Wealth
When Sun Lao said this, everyone who was busy in the courtyard stopped moving, and they looked up at Chen Rong, waiting for her instructions.
Chen Rong pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to the left and right: "Gather all the family slaves and maids in the mansion, and say that I have something to order." ”
"Yes."
"Concubine Ping, you take someone to move all your belongings to the courtyard."
Ping Yu looked at Chen Rong stupidly, and it wasn't until she repeated it that she responded, "Yes." At this time, her heart was full of surprise: the girl has really changed so much in the past few days, I can't understand her at all.
Although Chen Rong is only the master of the Chen Mansion, but over the years, her father has served as the governor of Pingcheng, although he is only an eight-rank official, but he has also accumulated a lot of property, Chen Rong's father and brother took a large amount of property with them when they left, but even the remaining bit filled the entire courtyard.
In this era, it was difficult for gold or five baht to be widely circulated. The real currency that people believe in is cloth and grain. In this period of precariousness and war, barter was the most popular.
In a quarter of an hour, the courtyard was filled with servants and maidservants. Sun Lao hadn't left yet, he and Uncle Wu were standing under a tall banyan tree, looking at Chen Rong curiously.
Chen Rong knelt on the collapse prepared for her by Pingyu, she glanced at everyone casually, and asked left and right, "How many people are there in the mansion?" ”
"Three out of seventy."
Chen Rong nodded, she picked up the wine glass and took a sip slowly-although she was only fifteen, at this moment, the wealth and nobility that she had cultivated for more than ten years in her previous life made her every move look graceful and decent.
Sun Lao nodded on one side, and he thought in surprise: I heard that the Chen family is a century-old family of ministers, and it is indeed true. Ah Rong, the concubine of such a clan, and at a young age, has a kind of nobility of Jinma Yutang, which is caused by the noble bloodline of the Chen family.
Chen Rong took a sip of wine, casually swept over the people in the courtyard, and said lightly: "War is coming, and the Chen family will move south." There are those who are willing to leave the Chen family and find their own way, one piece of cloth per person, five buckets of rice! What is willing to accompany me is also a piece of cloth and five buckets of rice. ”
As soon as these words came out, the four fields were silent in an instant.
Uncle Wu was shocked, he couldn't help but take a step forward, but his steps were raised high, but he couldn't step down - how could he stop it?
Chen Rong saw that there was no movement for a long time, turned his head to look at Ping Fei, frowned and called, "Fei? The voice was slightly raised.
Pingyu looked at Chen Rong stupidly with her mouth open, and when she met her bottomless black eyes, she woke up in shock, hurriedly stepped forward, and shouted: "No, no, Ah Rong, there are not many rice cloths in the house, and the distribution is uneven." ”
Chen Rong said lightly: "If there is less, I will replace it with silk poppy." ”
"But, but, there are only these family wealth in the mansion, so dozens of people divide it, and the Chen Mansion will not save one of the five wealth!" Pingyu was a little angry, and she screamed: "This road is thousands of miles long, and the road is changeable. Even if the journey goes smoothly, when you get to the south, how can a girl survive without money? Ah Rong, your lord and your brother have not heard from you so far, you must not scatter your family wealth and empty it! ”
Pingyu's words are intimate, and they are indeed the words of loyal servants. But she didn't want to think about it, she was a weak woman, and there were no dozens of brave guards in the house, how could she keep these family wealth? It is not dispersed today, this way to the south, nearly a thousand miles away, she is such a little helper with dozens of carriages swaggering, I don't know how many people and how many forces will be targeted, at that time, not to mention family wealth, even her life may not be saved!
Last time, just carrying those gold leaves, I was targeted by gangsters because of several exposures of wealth, and I was almost fatal!
Chen Rong turned her eyes to glance at the servants, and at this glance, she saw seven or eight faces from the crowd who were as worried as Ping Fei. As for the other slaves and maids, they all looked at her nervously with suppressed joy at this time, and they were afraid that she would regret it.
When Chen Rong withdrew his gaze, he swept over Uncle Wu and several young handymen standing among the slaves.
With this sweep, a touch of coldness flashed across her face.
Shaking his head, Chen Rong said lightly: "Concubine, the money-seeker, Ah Block." In such troubled times, it is better for you to have these silk and rice. ”
She didn't want to say anything more, so she waved her right hand and called loudly: "Uncle Wu! ”
Whoosh, all eyes were focused on Uncle Wu.
Seeing this, many people frowned, and Pingyu called out in her voice: "Uncle Wu, Ah Rong called you." ”
At this time, Uncle Wu's expression was very strange, his face was bruised, with a touch of panic in his angry face, and his left foot was still held in the air. I don't know if he wants to take a step forward or go back? It's strange, isn't he tired when he lands on one foot like this?
Everyone's eyes finally brought Uncle Wu back to his senses.
He met Chen Rong's eyes in a daze.
Chen Rong looked at him, smiled slowly, her eyes narrowed, and she said crisply: "Uncle Wu, you are a literate person, and the people of Pingcheng praise you for your justice." You step forward and help Ah Rong. ”
Uncle Wu asked blankly, "Help you?" ”
Chen Rong's eyes narrowed even more, and she smiled very happily, this kind of happiness that was completely different from the past, made Sun Lao, who boasted of being a celebrity and disdainful of money, nodded again and again: Only when you encounter a big event can you see a person's nature. I thought Ah Rong's move to share the wealth was nonsense, but now seeing her so happy, it's really indifferent! This kid is really worthy of the surname Chen!
Chen Rong was heartbroken, and shouted crisply and with pride: "Yes, Ah Rong asked Uncle Wu to write and divide these belongings." Uncle is a fair person, and he will be able to win the hearts and minds of everyone. ”
When Chen Rong said this, he raised his eyebrows, and shouted loudly in a little stunned: "Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu? Why are you still fazed? Don't you want to? ”
Uncle Wu hurriedly squeezed out a smile. He swallowed his saliva and said with a white face: "I am willing, willing." ”
"So, why didn't Uncle come forward yet? It's not too early. ”
"Yes, yes, I'll come forward."
As Uncle Wu walked forward with stiff steps, Elder Sun's long sigh sounded behind him, "Wuyang Wuyang, the immature girl is still dung and money, how can your face change so much?" Walking stiff and eyes cloudy? Hey, you're inferior to her! ”
At this time, people like to comment on people, and the elders can often affect people's lives. At this moment, as soon as Sun Lao's words came out, Wu Yang's slender face was full of black gas.
Wu Yang slowly came to Chen Rong's side.
Chen Rong stood up, she covered her mouth with her sleeve, yawned casually, and said, "After the wealth is divided, you want to go and ask for help." ”
As she spoke, she lazily walked towards her bedroom.
Although there were not many more than seventy people, it took two hours for Wu Yang to send them away one by one.
Putting away the pen, Wu Yang stood up in the laughter of the servants, he stared blankly at the belongings that had changed from the original mountain to a small mound, and only felt that his steps seemed to weigh a thousand catties.
Oh, my God! None of those people are vegetarians, and these things are not enough to fill their teeth, if they blame them, I, how can I be good?
He was so depressed that he didn't even notice that Sun Lao said goodbye to him and left.
In the panic of the center, Wu Yang's eyes lit up: I heard that there is a rare thing in the Chen Mansion, maybe that thing can satisfy them!
Just when Wu Yang wanted to come like this, Chen Rong's crisp voice came from the bedroom, "Uncle Wu, Pingyu, Shang Suo." ”
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and at the same time responded: "Yes." ”
"How many people haven't left?"
"Fifteen."
"Not bad. I have a very extraordinary thing here, and I would like to ask the three of you to take the fifteen men and give it to the prince's palace. He said: My father and brother are not at home, and I am a weak woman who has no responsibility. I am willing to send you the treasures left by the king, and I only hope that my Chen Mansion can enter the queue of the palace and walk with them. ”
Speaking of this, the bedroom door creaked open, and at the same time, a red, crystal clear, and wonderful treasure appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
As soon as he saw this thing, Wu Yang's eyes went dark, and he almost fainted to death.
