Chapter 142 Farewell to Liu Laohu and others!
Liu Yanhui said calmly: "It's not bad, I'll choose a few more sets, and let them choose the rest!"
What?
Zhang Liao didn't believe his ears.
“Aren’t the ones you just chose for those people to live in?”
Liu Yan replied: “No, I have a friend who wants to live here for a while. He will come later. "
Zhang Liao shouted in his heart, "Hey, they have met a rich man!"
Liu Yanhui ordered a few more apartments, paid a deposit of ten taels, and said: "My friend will be here in a while, the money is with her!"
These people's household registration is in In Hongliutun, Zhang Liao was not afraid that they would run away.
Accounting hundreds of taels at a time is a big deal! As a corps leader, he only earns 20 taels a month, and that money is enough for him to earn for more than ten years!
When the prisoners heard Liu Yanhui say this, they immediately understood who he was talking about.
All their money and things are with Shen Lanxi. As long as she comes, they will have the confidence to choose a better house.
"Sir, I also want to choose a house here, and I will choose the one next to Mr. Liu!"
"I also want to choose the house next to Mr. Liu. I want to deposit ten taels of silver. Here you go!"
"I want to be next to you too..."
Zhang Liao was soft-handed in taking the deposit. If he hadn't wanted to scare these people, he would have laughed.
"Come one by one, shouting so loudly, I can't remember your names!" As soon as these words came out, the prisoners quickly shut up and lined up to pay the deposit!
While the prisoners were choosing their houses, Shen Lanxi was seeing off Liu Laohu!
"We are destined to be together along the way, let me give you a few words!"
After experiencing the yamen, Liu Laohu and others were really scared, honestly All ears.
"If you want to survive, hide your identities as government officials along the way."
Liu Laohu and other government officials also sensed that something was abnormal and nodded immediately.
Shen Lanxi: "There is a caravan collecting fur goods inside and outside the customs. It is led by a foreigner. You can sneak in and go back to Beijing with them!"
Liu Laohu and others understood. After thanking Shen Lanxi, he left with his baggage on his back.
"Brother Liu, how many ingots of gold are there in my baggage!"
"I have them too!"
"I have them too!"
Liu Laohu He helped the heavy baggage on his back, and his eyes just happened to glance at a group of exiles entering the city.
Every one of those government officials had frostbite on their faces, ears, hands, and they were all skinny and skinny. It looked like they had suffered a serious crime.
"Brother Liu, fortunately we listened to you, otherwise we would have been like them!" A yamen official said with lingering fear.
Liu Laohu sighed: "Some prisoners can be offended, and some prisoners cannot be offended. You all should learn a little bit..."
...
Shen Lanxi and her party arrived at Hongliutun in the afternoon!
The military households cutting firewood on the mountain saw a row of carriages coming towards Hongliutun from a distance. They thought something serious had happened, so they threw the firewood on the mountain and ran back!
Liu Yanhui ordered people to clean the house, and borrowed a lot of firewood from Zhang Liao to light a fire to drive away the cold air in the house!
Liu Yan only needs to mention these things, and all women know what to do.
Liu Yanhui is mainly responsible for getting things on credit!
The iron pot is a valuable item, and generally no one gives it on credit.
Liu Yanhui relied on her sharp tongue, promises and flattery, borrowed three pots, and kept boiling hot water to scrub the tables, chairs and benches in the house!
“Here we come, big sister is here!” Shen Yuanqing and other younger children had been guarding the village entrance. When they saw a familiar motorcade approaching, they immediately ran back to report the news in excitement!
Liu Yanhui hurried to the entrance of the village to greet him.
The people in Hongliutun were also alarmed, and all those who could move came out to watch.
“My dear mother, whose noble family is here?”
“There are so many big carriages, could there be a high official coming?”
When Shen Lanxi and others got out of the car, Zhang Liao came back with others. "They went to the stone house."
Zhang Liao murmured: "Could it be the friend Liu Yanhui mentioned, right?"
You can afford it With such a big carriage, he must be rich, no wonder he spends so much money to buy a house without blinking an eye!
"Go back and chop wood. I'll go take a look!" After Zhang Liao sent the people away, he walked quickly towards the stone house.
……
Liu Yan replied: "Master, go to this house, it has just been cleaned!"
Shen Lanxi looked at the people running over and said coldly: "Each of you go to the carriage to get your things."
After hearing this, the prisoners hurriedly ran away.
"Lord, do you want people to keep an eye on them?"
Shen Lanxi said firmly: "They don't dare to take more!"
Liu Yanhui thought the same.
"Take the money and buy whatever you need, go buy it!"
Liu Yanhui hurried back to make arrangements. First she had to buy a few large iron pots and finish today's meal first.
It gets dark early in winter and the roads are not easy to walk, so you have to hurry up!
The women of Liu Zhao Village and the students of Qinglan Academy went to choose a house to clean.
There was everything on the carriage. Mother Wang took a big black pot and put it on the stove, smeared it with yellow mud, and her daughter-in-law started to light the fire.
There are two pots and two ear amps on both sides. Mother Wang directed her son to install one of them into the ear room.
There is still one bite left and we will see how the lady arranges them later!
“It smells so good. Whose stewed meat?”
“I smelled it too. Is it your stewed meat?”
“Bah, one day You can’t even afford a meal of steamed buns, so you still stew meat?”
“Didn’t your family just kill a deer two days ago?”
“Yes, if it were you, Are you willing to eat it? Don’t you have to exchange money to buy food and medicine and cotton clothes?”
The women were so sad that even if they really caught the prey, they would not be willing to eat it. Don’t laugh at anyone, it’s the same for everyone!
“But, I really smell meat...”
"Hey~"
"The smell of meat seems to be coming from the stone house. Isn't it because they are stewing meat?"
How much meat must be stewed to make the fragrance so strong? Far?
Smelling the aroma of meat, the women swallowed their saliva!
Anyone who wants to use the ready-made carriage can pay to hire it. Liu Yanhui has already set up an account book, clearly stating how much it costs to use the carriage once!
The rent and firewood that I owed Zhang Liao was paid off in one lump sum. I also replaced the big iron pot and gave him a piece of solid bacon as a thank you gift!
Zhang Liao looked at the carriages with envy. There was not even a single cow in Hongliu Village, not to mention horses!
"Master Zhang, do you want to use horses?" Liu Yan asked back.
Zhang Liao said embarrassedly: "I want to buy some grain from the county. You can use it first, and I will borrow it when you have settled it down!"
Liu Yan smiled back and said, "My lord, you can use it first." There are a lot of horse-drawn carriages. I think the weather will be bad these days and it will definitely snow. I’ll be relieved as soon as possible.”
Zhang Liao laughed: "Okay, I will remember your love. If you have anything to say in the future, I will do it for you!"
The favor was sold, and Liu Yan smiled back. Send Zhang Liao out.
The prisoners still had a lot of savings in their hands, so they gritted their teeth and hired a carriage to go to the county to make purchases.
On the Shen family side, everyone was crowded into a courtyard. The atmosphere in the room was gloomy and no one spoke.
After a long time, Mrs. Shen finally let out a long sigh.
“That’s it, let’s get rid of this stone house and replace it with some smaller ones!”
