Chapter 323 Self-stealing?

  Yu Xiaolian became interested.

  The tomb of the old prince near Luocheng, isn't that the tomb of the old emperor's uncle, the former king of Yuzhou.

   This tomb robber can do it, even dare to steal royal tombs.

No, no, this is probably not an ordinary tomb robber. The tomb of the former king of Yuzhou is huge, with countless burial objects and special tomb guards. It is impossible for ordinary tomb robbers to steal the old king of Yuzhou quietly. Tomb robbers.

   Could it be that the king of Jin raised money, raised private soldiers, guarded himself and stole himself?

Most likely.

  In the book, the king of Jin is in the three continents in the northwest, where tens of thousands of private soldiers are scattered and hidden.

   It is definitely not enough to rely on business alone to raise such soldiers. In addition, the economic downturn in the north and the south makes it difficult for the king of Jin to come, so he came up with the idea of ​​robbing the tomb.

   It's just that if the tomb was really stolen by the guard of King Jin, then it would be interesting.

  Has King Jin abandoned Mazhi County?

   "Xiao Han day?"

   "Yes!" Zhao Erya nodded.

  The one month given to Mazhi County is not enough. How can Mazhi County still have the time to take care of Su Jingchen? It's really... Interesting!

  Yu Xiaolian supported her chin with one hand, and tapped the square Kang table rhythmically with the other hand, trying to recall the storyline in the book in her mind.

  Daliang at this time in the book is in chaos. Not only has the war in the south not ceased, but there are also barbarians in the north who are constantly harassing and invading.

   Now, it's messed up, everything is messed up.

  Yu Xiaolian asked Zhao Erya suddenly, "Is Mazhi County in Luocheng now?"

  Zhao Erya shook her head, "Not here, I heard that Mazhi County has gone to Mount Mang."

  Yu Xiaolian nodded, she had a hunch that the magistrate of Mazhi County was going to be the end.

   It's just that the prince's tomb was stolen. Wouldn't the emperor really suspect King Jin?

   Or is it that the prince’s tomb was not stolen by King Jin’s supervisor at all, but a trap set up by the crown prince in order to frame King Jin?

  But Yuzhou is the territory of the King of Jin, and it is unlikely that the prince's people will make a big move under the nose of the King of Jin.

  If the crown prince has such extraordinary abilities, then the book will not easily become cannon fodder.

  Yu Xiaolian couldn't figure out the twists and turns, so she simply gave up.

  I thought to myself, when I have a chance, I will talk about this matter with Su Jingchen, and see if he has any unique insights.

  Zhao Erya said, "Xiao Lian, Su Xiucai asked me to tell you that the original plan to come to our house to propose marriage in the first lunar month may have to be postponed."

  Yu Xiaolian let out an oh, indicating that she understood.

  Anyway, she was about to say hello to Su Jingchen, so it was a coincidence.

  Yu Xiaolian changed the subject, "The Chinese New Year is coming, have you and Sanya made new clothes yet?"

  Zhao Erya shook her head, pulled the cotton coat on her body and pointed it to Yu Xiaolian, "My clothes are new, it's useless to do so much, I can't wear them."

   "You are the treasurer of Zhenpin Pavilion now, and you can't always keep those two sets of clothes over and over again. I will buy you two more sets later."

   "Farewell, don't bother you, I will buy it myself later." If Yu Xiaolian buys it, she will definitely choose the most expensive one. If she buys it herself, she will save a lot.

   "Then don't forget to make two bodies for Sanya.

  Also, I see that Sanya's hands are cracked from the cold, what happened? Didn't you tell her not to do rough work? How did you make your hands look like this? "

  Since the number of servants in the Yu family increased, Yu Xiaolian asked Sanya to follow her sister to fight, and Zhao Sanya was not allowed to do such tasks as fetching water, washing clothes, and sweeping the yard.

  Zhao Erya laughed, "You thought her hands were for work? She was practicing martial arts with Sun Hu and the others all day long."

  Bringing up her sister, Zhao Erya was extremely helpless.

  Although they were bought back by Yu Xiaolian, Yu Xiaolian never treated them like they were, and always treated them like sisters.

In the past, there were few people in the family, and they did a lot of work. Later, they bought Mrs. Gao, mother and daughter, and they did some light work. Later, there were more and more servants in the family, and Yu Xiaolian simply made them become young ladies. If you have work, you just need to order others to do it.

  Zhao Erya thought about those girls who are ladies from all over the world and girls from small families, aren’t they all good at embroidery, so she also wanted Zhao Sanya to follow the embroiderers to learn the craft of embroidery, but it seems that her younger sister prefers to wield knives and swords.

   And once she saw a wall that was as high as a person, Sanya jumped over it in a flash. She moved so fast that she thought she was dazzled.

   "You have to protect your hands when practicing martial arts. Make her a cotton glove." Yu Xiaolian knew that Zhao Sanya was always hanging out with Sun Hu.

   "I made it, but people don't wear it, saying it's inconvenient to hold a sword with gloves on!"

   "Sword? Sanya has started to dance sword now?" In summer, when she saw their children, they still held branches!

"It's a sword. I heard that it was Su Xiucai who asked someone to hit them, but they didn't strike. They are very blunt, so they won't hurt anyone." Zhao Erya was not surprised that those boys each had a sword. What he didn't expect was that Su Xiucai specially gave Zhao Sanya a short sword for girls.

  Iron products are not easy to come by at this time, it can only be said that Su Xiucai has a heart.

   "Hehe... All of them, learning and practicing martial arts are both talents to make!" Yu Xiaolian smiled.

  Zhao Erya suddenly remembered, "By the way, Xiao Lian, your cousin, Sun Manyu, came to Zhenpin Pavilion some time ago, and she knows that Zhenpin Pavilion is opened by our family."

   "There is no impenetrable wall in the world, so it is not surprising that Li Wenyuan studied in Luocheng Academy and knew that Zhenpin Pavilion was opened by our family.

   It's just that what did Sun Manyu do in Zhenpin Pavilion? "

   The items in Zhenpin Pavilion are priceless, but they are also expensive. At least ordinary people, ordinary consumers, will never step into Zhenpin Pavilion.

   "She said her mother-in-law was celebrating her birthday, and she wanted to buy a gift for her mother-in-law to please her."

  Zhao Erya got off the ground suddenly and raised her hands, "I'll imitate her.

  Cough... My mother-in-law's birthday is on the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. I wanted to buy her a decent birthday gift, but I didn't want to go into my own shop, haha...

   Hurry up and show me the best jewelry in our shop.

   At this time, the one standing next to her pawed her and told her that the things in our shop are expensive.

  She even flicked the veil, and bragged with the man, saying that this is her aunt's shop, and her aunt loved her the most since she was a child.

  I couldn't bear to look at her at that time, so I pouted her.

  I asked her why you want Zhenpin Pavilion to give your mother-in-law a birthday present? That's not possible, our lady said, even if Prince Jin is here, he has to collect money! "

  Yu Xiaolian saw Zhao Erya playing two roles, and couldn't stop laughing, "Then what did she say?"

  Zhao Erya pinched her waist, imitating Sun Manyu's appearance and tone, and said coquettishly, "You lowly servant, dare to talk to me like this, and I will tell my aunt to sell you later!

  I told her, you go, I am not afraid.

  Do you want to buy something? If you don't buy it, just stand aside and don't delay others from buying it. "

   "Haha... Then she must be mad?" Yu Xiaolian found that Zhao Erya also learned from her now, and became bad.

  But some people really can't be polite to them, especially a thick-skinned one like Sun Manyu, it's just too annoying.

Zhao Erya clapped her hands and laughed loudly, "No, I was so angry that I didn't leave, but I insisted on picking a jade bracelet and paying the bill. I didn't agree, and in the end, the little wife from the same village who came with her was dragged away. up.

   When he was leaving, he even told me that he wanted to make me look good.

  Speaking of which, it has been seven or eight days since this happened. Didn't she come back to Peach Blossom Village? "

"No, I haven't seen her." Although Xinghua Village is not far from Taohua Village, after Sun Manyu got married, she rarely came back. As for whether she didn't want to come back, or her mother-in-law didn't let her come back, she didn't know. .

  Zhao Erya estimated that the carriage outside was almost unloaded, and said, "I brought back the account book, and I also brought back the income during this period. Do you want to reconcile the account?"

  It's the end of the year, and it's time to do the accounting, but Yu Xiaolian is restless and lazy, so she simply asks Zhao Erya to move the account book to Yu Yi for proofreading, so that she can know her family's total income this year.

  As for the silver taels brought back by Zhao Erya, they all moved into Mrs. Sun's room.

  It's the end of the year, and Yu Xiaolian asks Sun to reward her meritorious deeds. Those who should be given a red envelope will be given a red envelope, so that everyone can enjoy themselves. After all, it's the Chinese New Year.

  Ms. Sun looked at the silver in the two wooden boxes and became worried.

Ever since her niece said that the bank notes were just a piece of waste paper when the war broke out, she never kept the bank notes, but the silver thing is heavy and takes up a lot of space. Sun felt that she had almost no place to hide the silver. .

   "Lian'er, you can put this money in the space, I really have no place to hide it here." Sun was very distressed.

"Mom, I still have tens of thousands of taels of space. You keep these flowers." The main reason is that when she leaves next year, it will take a few years to come back. She thinks about money, she wants to give more to Sun and Yu Changhe Just save some.

  Ms. Sun shook her head, and said in a low voice, "Lian'er, Mother has nearly ten thousand taels in her hand, too many for me to manage."

Sun divided the silver into three places, one was under the wooden bed where she and Yu Changhe slept in summer, the other was in the kang cabinet on the kang, and the third was hidden in the vegetable cellar by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Yu. underground.

   As for this, Mrs. Sun is worried every day, for fear that the money will be stolen. If Yu Xiaolian is not going to travel far away, she still plans to save all this money in her daughter's space!

   "Okay then, I'll set aside some for Chinese New Year flowers, and I'll put away the rest."

"Manjin and the others haven't come back from Zhengcheng yet. They can get a few hundred taels back when they come back, which is enough for New Year's flowers. You don't need to keep it, just put it away!" Worry, Sun is helpless.

  Yu Xiaolian touched the wooden box containing the money, and put the box and silver into the space.

   "Mother, has Sun Manyu been back recently?"

   "I haven't seen her, but I heard from Mrs. Li that your sister Man Yu has never been pregnant, and her mother-in-law is very bad to her.

  Her mother-in-law can only give her a good face every time she takes the math paper from you and returns it to Li Wenyuan.

   Listen to what Li Shi said, and I will wait for you to give Li Wenyuan a thorough question next autumn, so that I can help you a lot. "When Sun said this, her mood was extremely complicated.

   It is reasonable to say that relatives should help each other.

   But according to her daughter's temperament, she would definitely not do such a favoritism.

   What's more, it's even more impossible for Sun Manyu to be at odds with her daughter.

   Sure enough, Mrs. Sun had just finished speaking, and she heard Yu Xiaolian say, "Last year, it was a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. Mr. Fu took my question by hand, and it may not be so next year."

  Besides, next fall, he might not be in Los Angeles long ago.

   "Mother, you still worry about our family's affairs, don't worry about how well that Sun Manyu is doing.

If I really leave next year, then Zhenpin Pavilion, the two workshops, and the miscellaneous affairs of the music workshop will all fall on your shoulders. Although I will take care of everything, you have to visit it every month Look, at that time, if you really have no place to hide the money earned by several shops, you can deposit it in Shanyue Bank, which is opened by Zheng Yuanfeng. "

Mentioning Zheng Yuanfeng, Sun felt a pang of regret. Thanks to Zheng Yuanfeng's timely treatment of Yu Changhe's broken leg, otherwise it would not have been possible to recover so well. "Last time, Mr. Zheng came here in a hurry and didn't eat at home. What is he doing?" When will you come again?"

  "I heard that he went to Huizhou a few days ago, and he probably won't be able to come to Los Angeles for a while, wait until he has a chance in the future!

  By the way, mother, do we have copper plates at home? how many? "

   To give red envelopes to the servants of the family, it is usually enough to pack fifty or one hundred cash. Naturally, copper coins must be used.

  Sun said, "Yes, some time ago, in order to let that kid from the Jiang family collect Shanlihong for us, your father specially brought back several large baskets of copper coins, all of which are in the back wing!"

Yu Xiaolian brought Zhao Erya and Sun Mancang to bring the copper coins into the house, and called Sanya, Sun Manjiao, and Xiao Huzi, and Yu Xiaolian took them to count the copper coins, and then put fifty Copper coins are strung together with twine.

  Yu Changhe came back after inspecting the workshop, and saw his daughter and a group of children, around the stove, stringing copper coins, chatting while stringing.

   "Why string it?" These children have nothing to do.

   Mrs. Sun sat by the side and used a fire hook to turn the stove lid to roast sweet potatoes, and said with a smile, "My daughter said, it's Chinese New Year, and I will give everyone a red envelope to make everyone happy."

  Yu Changhe nodded, "Just send it to our servants?"

  Yu Xiaolian tilted her head to look at her father, "Then who do you want to send it to?"

Yu Changhe took off his black fox fur cloak, and patted the air conditioner on his body, "Didn't there be a few households in the village who didn't have enough to eat last year? I wonder if we should help them?"

   Sun looked at Yu Xiaolian.

  Yu Xiaolian thought for a while, then asked Yu Changhe, "Father, how do you want to help?"

  Yu Changhe sat down on a chair, "Didn't Dad ask you this, do you think it's better to give money or food?"

  Yu Xiaolian said, "In my opinion, giving money and food is not good."

   "Then what should we do? Let's just leave it alone?"

"That's not true. Didn't you buy dozens of acres of land? After the new year, you will hire them to plow the land. Anyone who comes to our house to plow the land will provide food every day, and then pay fifteen yuan as wages. That's it. It will neither develop their habit of indolence and work, but also allow them to survive.

  As for those who would rather starve than work, we don't care. "

   Doumi Ensheng Mi Qiu, once her family gets used to giving, those people will take it for granted, just like the Wang Zhanming family, they have lost their gratitude.

Once her family stops donating, those people may still resent her family, so the best way is to let these people exchange their labor for food, so that they will not only be grateful to her family for giving them the opportunity to earn money, but also Hard-won food will not be wasted.
