The boss just happened to pass by and had long known they were poor when he saw Lady Zhao and the others arguing with the bun house owner.

His face was filled with disdain. "What is it?"

"We want to rent a boat."

"Mm, what do you want?" The boss was lazy.

"To be able to hold so many of us." Xue Duan Sheng pointed at the large group of people behind him.

"Oh, how long will you be renting?"

"Oh? It's been more than ten days. As long as we get to the Qing Shui County, you can drive back." He didn't expect that Xue Duan Sheng would have the time to be respectful to others.

"Then how much should I calculate?" The shop owner dialled a few numbers, and very soon, he skillfully reported a number. "At least one hundred silver taels."

"What, it's so expensive, can we make it less?" Xue Duan Sheng said something nice.

"What, you're still bargaining? Is a hundred taels of silver considered cheap?" I want a hundred and thirty silver for everyone else. "If it wasn't for the fact that you guys have too many people, it wouldn't be too convenient to think that you guys are from outside the city. That's why I didn't bid for you guys." The boss pretended to be merciful.

"Then can we be a bit cheaper? We don't have that much money with us right now." Mrs Zhao also looked pleadingly at her boss.

"There's nothing to talk about. This is already the lowest price. If you want to rent it, then rent it. If you don't, then don't disturb my business." The boss pushed them away and went to greet the other guests.

Xue Duan Sheng and the others could only return dejectedly to find a flat place to sit and sigh.

"Why don't we take a look and see if there's anything else we can sell?" Mrs Zhao suggested. This was because she was too lax with her two daughters' food and didn't manage the money well. Now that she saw the mighty Xue Duan Sheng descend to this state of begging, her heart didn't feel good either.

Xue Lian drew the picture. When they saw Xue Duan Sheng's white hair, their hearts were filled with guilt. The two of them had previously bought a lot of useless items, but now, no one was interested in selling them.

"I sold everything I could before. Now, I only have clothes on me and no one wants my clothes." Mrs Zhao shook her head.

"I should flip through it again..." Xue Duan Sheng couldn't think of any other way.

After everyone heard this, they each opened their bags, hoping to discover more, but in the end they all came up empty-handed.

Xue Ruyun had never brought anything out to begin with, nor did he have any money on him. Normally, Mrs Zhao would be strict in her lifestyle, barely able to maintain her food and clothing. She had nothing valuable on her at all. The jade hairpin that was left behind by my only mother, who liked me, was also given to them to exchange for buns.

Just as everyone was at a loss for what to do, Xue Ruoyun suddenly remembered that Mu Ying had given her a package. At that time, she had rejected Mu Ying's treasured items and felt that they were too precious. Later, Mu Ying gave her a bundle saying that it contained only a few pieces of changed clothes and the like.

Along the way, Xue Ruyun had changed into the two sets of clothes he had brought, and he hadn't even opened the bag. He had originally planned to keep it in Qing Shui County before wearing it, but now that he thought about it, if the clothes inside were still new, he might even be able to change it for some money.

When Xue Ruoyun thought of this, he instructed Yun Zhi, "Do you still remember the package that the Seizure King gave to me? Didn't he say that there were still a few sets of clothes inside? "

"Yes, miss, I've always kept it." Yun Zhi agreed.

"Go find it and see if the clothes inside are new or not. If it's new, you can exchange it for some silver coins." When everyone heard this, their interest was piqued. Thinking about it, the clothes given by the conquest king, the cloth would definitely not be bad, if it was new, he could still exchange it for some money.

Yun Zhi agreed and quickly took out the package from the servant's luggage box.

When everyone saw Yun Zhi coming over, they all gathered around and placed their hopes on it.

"Here, miss." Yun Zhi handed over her hands.

Xue Ruyun took it and opened the bundle that Mu Ying had given him. The first thing he saw were two old clothes. Everyone was disappointed and scattered.

"I thought that the Seizure King would pay a lot of attention to you, but I didn't expect that he would send two rags to you. I might be humiliating you. " "If it were me, I would have lost it a long time ago."

When Xue Ruyun heard this, she glared at her. "Your mouth is not so wicked, but will you die?"

"You!" When Xue Lian recalled that it was she who had helped her today, she could only keep her mouth shut.

In his heart, Xue Ruyun was grateful to Mu Ying. He stroked his clothes and felt that although they were old, they were incomparably precious. What Xue Ruyun saw was not the value of the clothes, but rather the kindness in Mu Hao's heart.

She slowly opened her clothes and exclaimed.

Everyone heard her cry out in alarm and looked over. They saw that there were actually many treasures hidden within these old clothes. They were all jadeite, agate, night pearls and the like. At that time, he had given the items that he thought were precious to Xue Ruyun, so he had refused. Unexpectedly, he had hidden it under his clothes.

When everyone saw these treasures, they were so shocked that their mouths gaped wide open. This was simply offering coal in the middle of a snowstorm.

Xue Lian's heart trembled for a moment. Fortunately, it wasn't lost just now.

Xue Duan Sheng was shocked as well. He'd been a official for so many years, and it was the first time he'd seen so many treasures.

Every time she had something to do, when she needed it the most, Mu Sheng would always be the first to give her a helping hand. Whether he was there or not, his assistance always came in time.

"Great! With these things, we can take the water route." Xue Duan Sheng said happily when he saw Xue Ruyun flip open these treasures.

As Xue Ruyun held these things, he felt somewhat reluctant. This was all because of Mu Ying's concern for her. Thinking about it, these items were all valuable items, and were all beloved items of Mu Ying. He had rejected them at that time, so why was he so stubborn as to secretly give them to me?

Thinking back to when he had said that this was for the betrothal gift, recalling those words, Xue Ruoyun's heart thumped wildly, and his face flushed red.

It was a pity, but at present, there was no other better way. So, with great reluctance, Xue Ruoyun took out a Night Pearl, then put away the bag.

"That should be enough."

"Enough." Xue Duan Sheng beamed.

They came to the boss and asked to rent the boat.

"Why is it you guys again? Come on, come on, this grandpa won't do the money loss business." The boss pushed them away impatiently.

"You small-minded person, you look down on people. I came here today to discuss a big business deal with you. " Xue Ruyun rolled his eyes at the boss and stopped him.

"Yoho, a few people who can't even afford meat buns still dare to say anything big now. These bastards are yawning, how arrogant." The boss slanted his eyes at Xue Ruyun, his face full of contempt.

"Who are you calling a bastard!" Xue Ruyun took out the Night Pearl and lightly shook it in front of the owner. The owner's eyes instantly widened as he stared at the Night Pearl. He extended his hand to snatch it.

"Sigh... Didn't someone just say that I'm too arrogant and won't do my business? " Xue Luoyun immediately put the bead away, and prepared to put it into his waist pouch.

"I look down on you with my dog eyes, but I don't know that you're a hidden god of wealth. Just now, my eyes were cloudy, and I'm a bastard. You don't care about this, lord. Don't bother with this one." The boss immediately put on a flattering face and smiled apologetically. Compared to his arrogant attitude from before, he was completely different.

"Your comments about yourself are quite accurate." Xue Luoyun was too lazy to argue with him. After all, the most important thing right now was to rent a boat and take the water route.

"Miss, what kind of ship would you like?" The owner poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xue Ruyun. He asked tentatively.

"I want..."

"The largest one, the most spacious and comfortable one, the best one is to have all kinds of servants in it, a high bed and soft pillow …" Before Xue Ruoyun could finish speaking, Xue Lianhua and Xue Shaoli had already rushed to make their own demands, refusing to budge even in the face of death.

The two of them had suffered a lot during this period of time, and now that they saw Xue Luoyun have so many treasures, they felt as if they were their own, instantly becoming rich.

Xue Luoyun looked at the two of them speechlessly. He had originally planned to rent an ordinary boat, enough to carry a few people to Lin Bin. It would be fine as long as they arrived at Clear Water County from Lin Bin. Because the boat you're renting is too big and too ostentatious. The path on the water was winding and complicated. Many evil forces roosted on both sides of the road as they fought for the boats.

"Alright, then we'll do as you ask, we'll give you the best and biggest ship here. The facilities are complete, everything that we should have. There is nothing that you don't think of, nothing that we don't have. " The boss beamed and prepared to go.

"No, just a boat." Xue Ruyun thought for a while, and felt that the boat was rather safe.

"Aiya, we've suffered so much along the way, yet your own body is fine, but our father and mother are so old, your body can't take it. If we were to rent a boat, who would be able to endure the hardships of this journey? " Xue Lian shouted in dissatisfaction.

"That's right. He only cares about himself, he doesn't know how to be filial." Mrs Zhao also complained.

"His knowledge is truly shallow." Xue Ruyun couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them, he insisted on having the small boat. This would infuriate Lady Zhao and Xue Lian greatly.

"Master, look at her. She's going to anger me to death." Mrs Zhao pounded her chest, as if she couldn't catch her breath, and complained to Xue Duan Sheng in tears.

"Luoyun has always had his own thoughts and experiences. There must be a reason for her choosing a small boat. Madam, please don't make too much noise." In this period of time, Xue Duan Sheng had already experienced Xue Ruyun's ability, so he trusted her extremely.

In addition, when he was an official in the imperial court, he knew a bit about the matters at Lin Bin. He knew that the pirates were rampant and were not easily dealt with. The imperial court felt a headache coming on.

Therefore, although choosing a small boat was a bit uncomfortable, it was relatively safe. Xue Duan Sheng supported his choice.

However, while Xue Ruyun was discussing with them, Xue Shaoli had already secretly spoken to his boss. His boss was crafty and slippery, so he instantly understood what she meant.

"I'll take the boat." Xue Ruyun said with certainty.

"Alright."
