Everyone in the Su family moved quickly, but they packed their bags one by one in half a day. The night when everyone’s minds were different and couldn’t sleep is finally over. In the early morning of early spring, the genius was bright. The two carriages and five mule carts of the Su family were already neatly lined up at the gate of the Su family, and everyone in the Su family moved silently and moved. Quickly do one last check before leaving.
And the masters of the Su family are still saying goodbye in a gate in the front yard: "You Jin, mother is really worried that you and You Zhu will stay in Luohe Prefecture, in case..." Su Shi tightly held the hands of her two daughters and refused to let go. She just wanted to take the two daughters away together: "It doesn't matter whether it is money or not, Mother just hopes that our family can be well."
Youjin's other free hand patted the Su family gently, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, mother, there are still Uncle Song and a few guards at home, nothing will happen." Everything in the Su family is fundamentally In Luohe Prefecture, and Luohe Prefecture is the most important gateway to the north of the capital of Dafeng, if Luohe Prefecture is breached, Beidi's iron cavalry will be able to attack the capital in a few days. fall.
Young Jin wants to bet on this himself, but he can't let the whole family take risks with him. Therefore, just in case, the tea town is located in a remote location. If Bei Di really called, the tea town might be spared. For the safety of the family, You Jin decided to stay by himself. Let the whole family take the risk.
"Yeah, don't worry, eldest sister is the best among us, so it will be fine." Xiaozhu, who looks five-point similar to Xiaojin, stood beside Xiaojin with a smile and comforted Su's: " Mother, you can rest assured to go to the tea village to live for a while, and wait for my eldest sister and I to pick you up."
"Your eldest sister is good, but you are the most lazy, so dare to keep shouting?" Su shi glared at Xiaozhu angrily: "Among you sisters, you are the most rebellious!" Xiaozhu Some stuck out her tongue in anger, lowered her head and leaned against the eldest sister and did not speak, because she knew that the eldest sister would speak for herself. Since she was a child, she has listened to the elder sister's words the most, but this time no one can persuade her. She is determined to stay in Luohe Prefecture with her elder sister.
Youjin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Youzhu is smart, nothing will happen, and if something really happens, and I'm here, I will take good care of Youzhu." Yuan Youjin didn't plan to stay either. Youzhu was in Luohe Prefecture, but she made trouble with herself last night, begging and guaranteeing, and Youjin compromised. The mother and daughter talked for a while, until after the Chief Guard Xiao reported that everything was ready, Su Shi reluctantly took a few children to board the carriage and set off for the tea village.
Han Shi, who was on the side, also quietly wiped her tears several times. She was finally reunited with a few children, but now they are going to be separated again. She couldn't help but explain it over and over again: "Your sister is now a month old, Wen Sheng, you are the eldest son, You have to take good care of your elder sister and younger brother when your mother is away." Yuan Youjin also asked Han to go to Luohe Prefecture with him, but Han insisted on staying, so in the third room, only You He took the Liu family's two sisters-in-law and Wen Sheng. The two brothers went to the tea village with them.
Mrs. Han/You Jin took You Zhu, and stood at the gate of the Su family, watching the Su family's motorcade slowly disappear into the early morning, until the last mule cart was nowhere to be seen, and everyone circled into the Su family. You Jin wants to re-arrange the affairs of the family.
Sitting at the head of the main courtyard, Youjin stared at the servants and guards standing in two rows, and said, "Everyone is willing to stay in Luohe Prefecture to advance and retreat with our Su family, I, Su Youjin, are very grateful, and here I am also I promise you that if Bei Di really comes over, I will never give up on anyone, and if someone dies unfortunately, my Su family will not ignore him."
Most of the people who stayed in Luohe Prefecture this time were young and middle-aged men and a few women on the stove, as well as the maids who served the eldest girl and the third girl on weekdays, and next to them were the three guards left by the Xiao family and the Su family. A temporary escort team composed of five guards trained this year.
Among the people who stayed behind, except for the guards of the Xiao family who had really seen blood, the people next to them were all peaceful people, and they were born in a stable era. Where have they experienced wars
However, they are actually grateful to the Su family and the eldest girl. It was the Su family who bought them back to keep them fed and clothed. Now, although the wife and other girls have left, the backbone of the Su family has always been the eldest girl. ! Everyone said in unison, "Don't worry, big girl!" As long as the big girl is still there, they still have a bottom line.
"Although there are few people in the family now, everyone still has to perform their own duties. As for the guard team, Lin Weiwei will temporarily serve as the head guard. The eight people are divided into four groups, and someone is responsible for twelve hours a day. Patrol, and after nightfall, the doors everywhere should be locked earlier." Young Jin methodically assigned the work at home one by one, although everyone was a little nervous, but seeing the eldest girl so calm and relaxed, she felt as if After eating a reassurance pill, after the work was assigned, they went to work on their own.
The front-line battle is getting more and more stalemate, and prices in Luohe Prefecture are soaring. Fortunately, the Su family has already stored enough food in both the shop and at home. However, due to the war, people who can afford dim sum have all been unable to escape. Su Jiaxiang His business has also been greatly affected, and now his daily income is less than a quarter of what it was before the war.
***
"Everywhere is messy now." Standing behind the counter of the shop, Bai Zhi looked at the passing passers-by in a hurry outside the door, anxious and helpless.
Bai Zhi can also be regarded as the old man of the Su family. Several maids working in the shop knew that the eldest girl and the third girl were not leaving, and they all offered to stay in Luohe Prefecture to follow them. It has been more than ten days now, but The war in the north seems to have reached a stalemate, which is good news for the people of Luohe Prefecture.
It was rare for Youzhu to come out from the back kitchen to the front shop. Seeing that Bai Zhi and Qiunai were both listless, she said with a smile, "This is a wonderful day, you two are sighing here, you are not afraid that the eldest sister will be back soon. ?"
Seeing the third girl coming out, Bai Zhi Qiunai quickly put away the expression on her face and replaced it with a smile: "The third girl can forgive the maid, the maid knows it's wrong." Bai Zhi Qiunai can be regarded as watching the third girl from a little girl Growing up to be a half-sized girl who is now curling and Nana, although the boundaries between master and servant in the three-person room are clear, there is still a bit of friendship, and they are always closer.
"What are you talking about? I heard your laughter right outside the door." The three of them were talking when Young Jin, who was smiling, came back from outside. Today, she wore a double-embroidered peach blossom twelfth tattered fairy dress, with a narrow-sleeved jacket with a white lotus pattern, which made the girl who was already good-looking even more attractive.
"Eldest girl (eldest sister)." Seeing that Young Jin came back, the three of them stopped laughing, Bai Zhi Qiunai stood with their hands down, and Young Pearl greeted her: "Eldest sister is all done?" Young Pearl I knew that the eldest sister was going out to talk about something today, but I didn't expect that she would come back after only half an hour. Seeing the expression on the eldest sister's smiling face, it must have gone well.
Taking a sip of the thorn rose nectar water brought by Qiunai, it dispelled the chill of early spring. Youjin sighed comfortably and handed the cup back to Qiunai, before the sisters went to the second-floor wing.
"Eldest sister, what did you do today?" Young Zhu looked at the eldest sister's inscrutable expression, and could not help but arouse her curiosity, and asked obediently sitting next to Young Jin.
You Jin took out a few thin sheets of paper from his arms, put them on the table, smiled and glanced at Xiaozhu: "Can't you see it for yourself?"
Xiaozhu didn't suspect him, picked up the sheets of paper on the table and looked at it carefully, and finally raised her head to look at Youjin in doubt: "How much does it cost for so many deeds? Hey? What is this? "
She knew that it was a house deed. One of them was a house deed for a two-storey shop facing the street in Dongshi, and the other three were located in Huaishu Alley and Anqian Street in Dongshi. The two on Front Street are two-in and two-out houses. But why are the names of her and the second sister written separately in these two
Youjin carefully collected the four house deeds, put them back in her arms, looked at Youzhu with a smile, and said, "Your second sister should get married in two years. It's time to prepare a dowry. Your second sister is married, and the next one will be married. Isn't it your turn?"
Although she thinks it is too early to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but this is the case in this era, and she can only do her best to protect them: "No matter what time, things like money still have to be in your own hands. It's fine."
"I don't want it, eldest sister keeps it for You Ling, You Luo and the others." You Zhu looked at You Jin angrily: "There are no good men in this world, if I wronged myself for these stinky men, I would I'd rather twist my hair to be my sister-in-law!"
Young Jin nodded her head angrily: "What nonsense? No matter if you want to marry someone in the future, you deserve it. Anyone in this world can betray you, only money and house deeds won't."
Young Jin also knew that Young Pearl was actually influenced to a large extent by the people in the Yue family, so she would radically think that the men in this world are not good people, and she didn't say much.
"Eldest sister!" Youzhu simply sat closer, grabbed her arm and kept swaying coquettishly: "I don't want to get married! It's not good for me to guard the shop at home!"
"You are the most rebellious of your sisters and sisters." You Jin was so worn out that she didn't mean to force her sister, so she let out a sigh of relief: "Come, if you really don't meet someone you like in the future, no If you don't marry, you won't marry."
Anyway, the family conditions are good, whether it is to marry or not to marry, You Jin has already begun to plan to buy a family business for each of them. If you forcibly marry Xiaozhu, you might hate her for the rest of your life!
This kind of shocking words came out of Youjin's mouth, and Youzhu was not surprised, but was very grateful: "Thank you eldest sister!" As long as eldest sister is on her side, she will not be afraid no matter how angry her mother is.
The two sisters talked for a while, and then Young Zhu swayed back to the back kitchen, leaving Young Jin alone in the second-floor wing to check the accounts of this period one by one.
Due to the turmoil on the front line, prices in Luohe Prefecture have skyrocketed, but the prices have been greatly reduced. This time, the street shop bought by Young Jin was only bought back at 80% of the pre-war price, especially the house was even cheaper. Those people were afraid. When Bei Di called, he wished he could sell them cheaply, and he bought three houses back with only 70% of the money.
After recording the expenditure of nearly 3,000 taels in the account, You Jin counted the money left in the house again, and finally closed the account book and sat on the collapsed by the window facing the street, watching the people coming and going outside. In the street market, I thought to myself, seeking wealth and wealth at risk, I hope that the current sage will not let her down.
