8 Chapter 8

That night, the people in each room, including Han Mufei's sister and brother, were gathered together by Aunt Xia and Han Heheng to discuss their future plans.

Everyone has not recovered from the blow of losing Master Han and Uncle Han, and they all have a very good face.

When Han Mufei saw Brother Chu, his eyes were red, and there were tears on his face, obviously he had just cried.

Seeing that everyone in the Han family was all together, Han Heheng didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point, now the capital can't go back, and the Han family and King Li have always been at odds, so they are afraid that King Li will cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and send people to hunt down and kill them Han.

"So we can't stay here any longer, and it's better to leave Changping Town early tomorrow morning." Han Heheng said, "Right now, our best plan is naturally to take refuge in the Han clan in Yuzhou." ”

"I agree with Jiro." The second master nodded.

The others nodded their heads as well.

Han Mufei naturally agreed, returned to Yuzhou as soon as possible, and escaped as soon as possible.

"In that case, let's talk about the entanglement."

After hearing Chief Steward Liu talk about the expenses of staying in Yunlai these days, everyone immediately understood what Han Heheng meant.

After staying in the clouds, everyone's expenses were all through the hands of Liu Da Steward, who was entrusted by the old lady.

Not to mention that Yunlaike is the best inn in Changping Town, the price of each wing room was originally higher than elsewhere, and with more and more people fleeing into the town, the room rate has risen a lot.

And the Han family lives in the most expensive A-shaped good wing room in the inn, all the masters, slaves and maids and guards in the third room add up, the number of people is quite considerable, and the rented wing room is naturally more, and the wings of the upper, middle and lower grades of the huge cloud visitors are basically wrapped up by the Han family.

In addition, the people in each room eat in the cloud guest according to the highest grade, and the guy in the store provides extra rewards such as running errands, so in the past few days in the cloud guest, the Han family is spending money like running water, and when the big manager Liu escaped from the city, there are four hundred taels of silver given by Mrs. Han in a hurry, and now there are only more than fifty taels of silver left.

If it is an ordinary person, these more than fifty taels are naturally a lot of wealth, and it is enough to chew for two or three years.

But for the Han family, who are accustomed to living a rich life, it is a cup of salary.

Not to mention anything else, just take Han Mufei as an example, there are fifteen taels of silver every month, not counting the large amount of silver that can be subsidized by the monthly interest from A-Niang's shop.

Fifty taels of silver, that is, the expenses of three or four masters of the same age as Han Mufei for a month, but there are more than three or four masters at the moment.

"We only stayed in Yunlaike for five days, and it cost us more than three hundred and fifty taels?" The second master and the third master were puzzled, and Han Mufei was also strange.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that the slaves and maids are deliberately deceiving, in fact, the price of the room and the price of food in this cloud are getting higher and higher day by day, and the room price is already five times that of the first day, and it is impossible to find another place." Steward Liu said with a bitter face.

Changping Town is now full of fleeing people, the injured, the sick, the town's inns are basically full, even if there is silver, it is difficult to find a place to live.

"That's right, you don't need so much silver, do you?"

"Second master, you forgot, the guards who escorted the masters who escaped from Beijing, as well as the slaves and maids, but there were a lot of casualties, and the dead had to give their relatives a pension of silver, and the injured had to be treated." Chief Steward Liu reluctantly explained, "This money can't be saved." ”

Han Mufei thought of the guards who escorted her away and stayed in Beijing to resist the rebels, and who had always accompanied her Hongyu Heel, as well as Brother Chu'er's master, and said nothing.

"Then also divide the priority, the matter is urgent, this money can be withheld temporarily, if we can't go to Yuzhou, who can give this pension silver?" Han Heheng glanced at Steward Liu angrily.

Chief Steward Liu bowed his head and was silent.

Han Heheng turned to the rooms: "So, the meaning of calling uncles and aunts now is to let you get together and entangle, so that Steward Liu can arrange Ming'er's departure." ”

"It should be, it should be." Second Master Han nodded, and took the lead in asking his own entourage to take out the silver he was carrying.

When the others saw Han Erye taking the lead, they also went to find their own money.

It's just that they are in a hurry, and they are in a hurry, and everyone does not carry much money and silver.

Han Mufei glanced at Han Heheng, took off his purse, and poured all the silver on the desk.

That Steward Liu collected the money given by each master one by one, and when he liquidated Han Mufei's pile of money and silver, Aunt Xia, who had been sitting next to him and looked at her coldly, also looked over.

Han Mufei noticed Aunt Xia's gaze, glanced over, and Aunt Xia looked away again.

"This, my lords, this silver is only sixty-four, two, three hundred and sixty wen."

It should have happened suddenly, so the people in each room who left first didn't have time to bring silver, and now some of them are only broken silver with them, and what can be taken out is only a dozen taels or taels, and the largest amount of them is a silver ticket of twenty taels taken out by Han Mufei.

"Sixty-four taels, plus fifty taels, it is one hundred and ten taels, we also plan to hire a dart team tomorrow, and it will take more than a month to travel to Yuzhou, and we have so many people on the way to eat and wear, one hundred taels, I'm afraid it is not enough." Han Heheng looked around at the Han family, "They are all from the Han family, and this trip is also for your safety, if you still have any silver on you, please take it out." ”

"Erlang, it's not that we don't give it, it's really not much." Second Master Han said helplessly, "At that time, I just had to protect my little life, who still had the time to catch the silver?" ”

"Not really." The crowd responded.

Han Heheng turned to Han Mufei: "Sanniang? ”

"That's all the money I've got on me." Han Mufei also said.

"It's impossible, Sanniang, you have always received the most money per month in your room, and you left the Han Mansion later than us, if you say that you haven't cleaned up at all, I don't believe it." Aunt Xia suddenly spoke.

"Yes, third niece, our house usually belongs to you as the most generous, only these twenty taels?" Second Master Han also looked at Han Mufei, "Third niece, now that the survival of the Han family is involved, don't hide your secrets." ”

"Second uncle, it's not like you haven't seen what I looked like when I came to Yunlai, I have two burdens all over my body, all clothes, and a few useless iron plates and rotten pots." Han Mufei spread his hands.

Everyone in the Han family here is very proficient, she doesn't believe it, someone really took out all the money and silver on her body honestly.

"Then since you brought your clothes, you must not be missing jewelry when you pack up, right?" Aunt Xia looked at Han Mufei and said with a smile: "I remember, on the day of the accident, Sanniang, you wore a lot of gold and silver beads and hairpins, and now the family is short of money and silver, and if you take these jewelry, you can exchange it for a lot of money, right?" ”

"That's right, I remember that the third sister wore a red jade hairpin that had just been ordered, and the hairpin was very new when it was worth ten taels or eighty taels." Han Siniang in the second room nodded.

For a while, Han Mufei became the focus of everyone in the Han family.

Han Mufei glared at Han Siniang viciously, and Han Siniang hid behind her mother in fear.

Originally, everyone in the house had a lot of complaints about Han Sanniang's extravagance in the past six months, and this Han Siniang was one of the jealous cousins.

"Third niece, you should be considerate and considerate of everyone's difficulties!" Second Aunt Han protected her daughter and persuaded her like this.

"Okay, if you want me to sell the jewelry, the premise is that everyone takes out the money and silver on their bodies, and also, the aunt and sisters have to take out the jewelry and go to the pawnshop with me." Han Mufei stretched out his finger and pointed at everyone one by one, and finally landed on Aunt Xia: "Auntie, you are the same." ”

There's no reason to catch her picking wool alone.

Aunt Xia's face darkened suddenly, and the others were also embarrassed, and fell silent for a while.

For a long time, Han Sanye, who had been silent and had never taken an opinion, suddenly said: "Actually, we don't necessarily have to go to Yuzhou. ”

"Don't go to Yuzhou? Third master, where do you want to go? ”

"Your second aunt should be visiting relatives in Jinzhou, my mother's house, at this time, and Saburo and I are actually planning to go to Jinju." Han Sanye looked at his son Han Sanlang, who nodded at him.

Everyone was stunned.

Han Erye reacted: "Also, we don't have to go to Yuzhou for our practical use, my eldest Langjun is now in Jinzhou, and our second room can also take refuge in him." ”

"Second uncle, Jinzhou, that's farther than going to Yuzhou." Han Heheng reminded.

Even refuses to go to Yuzhou, can Han Erye go all the way to Jinzhou?

Unless they have more money than they have taken out.

Second Master Han touched his nose and looked at his third brother, "Our second room goes to Jinzhou, and there is a distance that coincides with the third brother's route, if the third brother doesn't mind, let's go together?" ”

Han Heheng saw that Han Sanye nodded in agreement, and his face sank slightly.

If it is replaced by Master Han or Uncle Han, and he says that he will go to Yuzhou together, the people in the second and third rooms will not disobey, and they can only obediently follow the road, but he can act on behalf of the long house, and the people in the two rooms and three rooms not only dare to hide money and silver, but also openly refuse his proposal, which is obviously not taking him seriously.

Han Heheng was unhappy.

"So, the second uncle and the third uncle are planning to go separately from the people in our long house?"

"Actually, it's better this way, you also said that now King Li doesn't like our Han family, and killed our father and eldest brother, King Li really ascends the throne one day, then we are even the family members of the criminal ministers, if he is still angry with the Han family, I am afraid that he will send someone to hunt him down, and there are too many of us in this group, let's go to Yuzhou together, it is conspicuous, the target is too big, it is better to disperse." Han Sanye said.

"Third brother, you have a point." Second Master Han nodded at Third Master Han.

"In that case, then I won't force it." Han Heheng originally wanted to argue, but when he received Aunt Xia's glances, he looked at Han Mufei and Brother Chu again, and understood.

If the people in the second and third rooms are not there, it will be easier for them to do something.

"Sanniang, are you going to find Cheng's?"

Han Mufei frowned.

Cheng, Han Sanniang's mother's maiden family, is also Cheng Yingying's maiden family.

"I heard that the Cheng family moved to the fiefdom of Cheng'an Hou in Jinju after the New Year, and if the three nieces went to join the Cheng family, they would just be on the same road with us." Han Erye said.

Although Han Mufei didn't say it explicitly, Aunt Xia was right, these three nieces probably had the most money on hand among the people in the Han family's room.

"Sanniang, if you want to go to Jinzhou, then I'll forget it. But Brother Chu is the sister-in-law of the long house, and now that his grandfather, grandmother and father have gone, he has to go back to Yuzhou to tell the old Han clan about the funeral, and see how the clan arranges the follow-up. Han Heheng also said.

Han Mufei was sure to return to Yuzhou before he couldn't turn back from the beginning.

First, you can seek refuge with the clan, and secondly, Brother Chu should really go to see the elder of the Han clan, and the main reason is that there is still a long house in Yuzhou and the dowry shop left by the original owner's mother, she has seen the account books given to her by Uncle Han, and it is a lot.

She still wants to live a leisurely and rich noble life, where her silver is, where she should naturally be.

So Han Mufei had to follow Han Heheng and others back to Yuzhou.

It is much safer to leave with the convoy than to set off alone with Brother Chu, as for whether Aunt Xia's mother and son are making any calculations at this time, she can only see the move.

has been on an errand in Hanfu for many years, so Liu Daste naturally wants to follow the people in Changfang, "Since the second master and the third master don't go to Yuzhou, what about these silver taels?" ”

The number of people who went to Yuzhou was reduced, and the more than 100 taels of silver were entangled, all of which were divided into four parts, and the long room got two shares, and the people in the second and third rooms each got a share, and then the slaves and maids and the guards were distributed, and the people in the three rooms of the Han Mansion were originally divided and went their own way.

When Han Mufei was about to go back to the wing, he was stopped by Han Heheng again.

"Second brother, what's the matter?"

Han Heheng was silent and looked at Aunt Xia.

Aunt Xia got up, "Sanniang, since you and Brother Chu are with us all the way, Auntie still has to say that, I'm afraid the silver is not enough." ”

The more than 100 taels of silver were divided, and the long house only got more than 50 taels, six masters, ten slaves and maids and miscellaneous servants, more than 20 guards, and a dart team had to be hired.

Han Mufei touched his waist and handed over the pearl and jade Linlang that he was wearing when he fled to Han Heheng: "This is the only jewelry I have, second brother, since I have paid enough money and silver, you have to ensure that Brother Chu and I arrive in Yuzhou smoothly." ”

"Needless to say, the third sister should do this as an elder brother."

Han Heheng checked the bag of jewelry and asked Steward Liu to take it.

Han Mufei returned to the wing room, and his eyebrows frowned again.

The second and third rooms originally relied on the shadow of the long house to live in the capital, but now that the catastrophe is coming, she took care of her life and safety to take refuge in her own Langjun, and there is no way to accuse them of anything, but she and Chu Ge'er went to Yuzhou with the long house, I don't know why, Han Mufei always had a faint uneasiness in her heart after she promised Han Heheng.

Just now Aunt Xia and Han Heheng's mother and son eyebrow lawsuit, she has already noticed that this Aunt Xia has always been at odds with her, and now that the long house is talking about things by her son, it is estimated that there will be no less time to grind herself.

If it was usual, she would definitely have to fight her head-on, but now that the father who can support her is gone, and Brother Chu is still young, she has to take advantage of Aunt Xia's two sons to protect herself and Brother Chu, and it is foreseeable that going to Yuzhou will inevitably be full of twists and turns.

Aunt Xia is not important to herself, she is afraid that it will be more serious, she wants to take money and kill people.

She just had the idea of cleaning up on her own.

In the last days, it's not unheard of taking people's lives for a bite of food, but she's lucky to live well with coordinate skills, and she hasn't seen it with her own eyes.

After all, this Dayan Dynasty is not the extreme era of the last days, Han Heheng and Aunt Xia are Han Sanniang's family, and they have lived together for many years, so there is a disagreement, and they will not want to take people's lives, right?

Besides, when she went to Yuzhou, Aunt Xia's strength was only two concubines, presumably the clan would not treat them much, and she and Brother Chu would have to support the face of the long house, so how much would she have to be careful?

Alas, if the people in the second and third rooms go to Yuzhou with them, the second and third uncles can take care of one or two, and Han Heheng will also have to look at the relationship between the second and third uncles, and she will not be so worried.

Pity!

Han Mufei reached out and touched his frowning brow, pressed it, and smoothed it out.

Don't frown, don't frown, if you frown too much, you won't be beautiful if you have forehead lines.

After a while, Han Mufei withdrew his hand, and after finding the large army in the past two days, he asked the slave maid to buy a balm and a delicate hand.

On the day and night of leaving, he just carried some things, caught a few fish, cut a few pieces of bamboo, and made two bamboo tubes, and his hands with fine skin and tender meat were rough, and now he finally found the Han family, and he had to follow them to Yuzhou to say anything.

They want silver, for the sake of traveling all the way, in addition to maintaining their own expenses, they can give it, and they must ensure that they can easily get on the road.

When she arrives in Yuzhou, is she still afraid that she will run out of money?

It's just that the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and she has to hide the silver taels and be vigilant.
