Chapter 45 When did we split up
When everyone heard that they could rest, they were all refreshed and quickened their pace.
After arriving at the place, Yun Yi took Xiao Chenrui to a corner and sat down, and handed him the water bag: "Drink a few sips of water first, then eat slowly."
Some yamen shouted: "After two quarters of an hour, line up for dinner, go to the front and pay the money according to the head, five taels per person."
When Mr. He heard that he wanted to pay money, he thought about it a lot for a while, thinking that there were so many people in the family, this payment would be 75 taels of silver, and this is still too young for Brother Hao to pay.
is also convenient for the yamen in charge of their team. I didn't look at other teams, but no matter how old you are, they are all charged on a per-capita basis.
On the day of the accident, Mrs He grabbed a handful of silver from the box and hid it on her body in a panic. She wanted to take it again, but the officers and soldiers broke in and did not give her a chance at all.
Because I was in a panic at the time, I didn’t notice that there was any shortage of silver in the box.
I only regretted that I was a step behind and didn't get the silver note in the box.
Seeing that everyone was already lining up to pay the money, Mrs He rolled her eyes and whispered to the old lady, "Mother, the incident happened suddenly that night, and my daughter-in-law didn't bring much money. There are already many people in the room, and I really can't afford the second room."
The old lady looked up at her: "Then what do you want?"
He glanced at Yunyi not far away: "I left the capital before, and I saw that the young master of the Lu family stuffed Yunyi and his brother with a package, which must have money in it, so let them pay the money themselves. ."
The old lady narrowed her eyes and said, "There are only four people in the second room. Brother Hao doesn't have to pay because he is young, so you can't accommodate them now?"
Now this is the case, and Mrs He can't care about other things: "Mother, it's not like being in the mansion now, my daughter-in-law really can't take care of them anymore."
The old lady is also a little angry now: "Don't forget, you were in charge of everything in the mansion before. Do you want people to poke the backbone of our Xiao family?"
Mr. He said: "This time and another, we were in the mansion before, and now we are on the road of exile. We don't know if we can survive or not, so how can we care about others."
The old lady looked at the eldest son beside her: "Renli, is that what you mean too?"
Xiao Renli used to read only books on sages and sages, and he hardly cared about family affairs. Now, in this situation, he really doesn't know what to do.
just looked at Mrs He: "Is there really no money to pay for the second room?"
Mr. He's face darkened: "The young master of the Lu family clearly stuffed a package of things for them, so why do we have to pay them money, unless their brothers and sisters hand over the package to us for safekeeping."
Yunyi was a little far away from them, but they could hear the conversation clearly, thinking that Mr. He is really a good planner, let’s dream.
The yamen began to urge people, hurry up and pay the head money, otherwise there will be no food for the next day.
He's heart fluttered and shouted at Yunyi: "Yunyi, come here."
Xiao Chenrui wanted to follow him, but Yun Yi didn't let him follow, but handed Brother Hao Er in his arms to him: "Don't move around, have a good rest here, everything is up to me."
Yunyi got up and went to the old lady's side: "Grandmother, auntie, called me over, but something?"
Mr. He said: "The yamen's side asks you to hand over the money, and your second room's side hand over the money to your uncle, and let him pay it all together."
Yunyi looked at her grandmother: "Grandma, what does this mean, when did we split up?"
