Chapter 284： cherish life

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren followed the shop assistant's second hand to look over, Yao Zheyu's assistant didn't know what to do.

When the little servant heard the voice, he must have waited for a long time. The little servant's face was a little stiff, "Zhou Xiucai, Zhou Niangzi."

Zhou Shuren looked at the box in the boy's hand, "What's the matter?"

The young servant waited for a long time, he just wanted to go back quickly after delivering the things, "This is for Zhou Xiucai, the son said that in the future, we don't owe each other, and I asked Zhou Xiucai to keep it."

Zhou Shuren stretched out his hand to take the box, "Please go back to the son for me, Zhou understands."

The little servant thought that he would have to say something before sending it out, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, "Then I'll go first."

Zhou Shuren, "Please."

When the servant left, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went upstairs and went back to the room. Zhulan looked at the box, she and Zhou Shuren knew that it was better for them to follow Yao Zheyu in the capital, especially Yao Zheyu, who was now a little blackened.

Zhulan closed the door, Zhou Shuren had already opened the box, "Come and have a look."

Zhulan walked over to the table and saw that there were silver bills in the box, and they were all large denominations. Zhulan poured them out and counted them, "It's really 10,000 taels of silver bills. I thought that Yao Zheyu had lost his life-saving grace. Woolen cloth!"

Zhou Shuren, "This can only mean that Yao Zheyu has not completely blackened, but after paying the life-saving grace, Yao Zheyu's last temperature is gone."

Zhulan was a little worried, "Go find the team tomorrow, let's go as soon as possible, I don't know if Yao Zheyu is avoiding people to deliver the silver notes, don't be implicated by Yao Zheyu as cannon fodder."

It's a pity that Yao Zheyu has changed. Her plans with Zhou Shuren are in vain. Although getting the money is considered a happy event, compared to joy and danger, life is more important.

Zhou Shuren is also worried about this, "This time I have bad luck going out, the trip is not smooth, and the trip to the capital is not particularly smooth. Although I brought money luck, it has always been accompanied by danger to life. It is indeed better to leave as soon as possible."

Zhulan looked at the silver note in her hand, now she has money, but unfortunately she didn't dare to spend it, not only because they were in a hurry to leave the capital, but also because they had spent too much today. changed.

At this end, the little servant returned to Hou's mansion, "Sir, the box was delivered, and Zhou Xiucai took it. I didn't see what it was."

Yao Zheyu dropped the book in his hand, "I see, you go down!"

The servant lowered his head and carefully closed the door and went out.

Yao Zheyu was the only one left in the room. Yao Zheyu sneered. He was laughing at himself. After thinking about it for a long time yesterday, he decided to pay the life-saving grace. He didn't bother to give up the kindness, but it seemed that Zhou Xiucai was really interesting, and he should have noticed it. He changed, and he just took the box without asking what it was. He was really sharp.

It's a pity that he's a young talent, not from the capital, so he's useless at all. He closed his eyes and recalled the secret conversation between his grandfather and his father, hehe!

The next morning, Zhou Shuren went to look for the convoy early. He was lucky. There are many convoys leaving Beijing these days. Every day there are convoys out of the city. Need to hire yourself.

After discussing with Zhulan, Zhou Shuren decided to buy two carriages, just hire a coachman and a escort.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went to Beicheng, where they sold horses and carriages. The two of them didn't know much, so they could only give Yazi more money to help buy two better horses.

The horses sold in Beicheng are not expensive horses. Most of them are domestic horses. They specialize in pulling carriages to transport goods. Even ordinary horses are expensive. Fifty-two horses are not counted as carriages, plus seven carriages. Twelve.

Ancient horse-drawn carriages also needed to be registered at the yamen, and carriages for long-distance transportation of goods and people were still regulated, and not everyone could pull a carriage.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren were willing to spend money in order to leave early. In the morning, the horses and carriages, the **** and the driver were all found.

Zhulan ordered a lot of sauce meat, roast chicken, etc. at the inn.

In the afternoon, they settled the bill with the inn, and the two left the capital in a carriage to keep up with the convoy.

Because the motorcade was not a caravan that escorted goods, but a team that left Beijing and returned to their hometown. The motorcade drove fast, and they stopped the carriage to rest until it was dark.

Zhulan had been bumping all afternoon, her bones were all crisp, and she had no appetite to eat. After eating a chicken leg, she lay down and rested.

Zhou Shuren and Zhulan hired four bodyguards. If they weren't afraid of being too eye-catching, they wanted to hire more. The two of them really cherished their lives. Although Chuan was ten years older, they also wanted to live a good life. They were careful not to. Is it just to live longer? I don't want to be innocent cannon fodder.

On the first night, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren didn't sleep much because they weren't far from the capital.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the team announced that it was going to leave. There was no time to prepare breakfast for breakfast. After a simple wash, the team set off.

I was on the road all day, and I didn't take a break at noon. The only time I stopped was to give the horse a rest, or to solve the three emergencies and fetch water.

The convoy was moving fast, and it arrived at the first station that night. The speed was so fast that it took off.

Zhulan ate dinner and lay on the bed, "If we go at this speed, the time it takes for us to go back will be shortened by half."

Zhou Shuren, "I didn't have time to go back to my hometown when I came here. If I go back and pass by my hometown, just leave the team at my hometown."

"I just wanted to go back and see my parents."

Zhou Shuren put his arms around Zhulan, "Go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow to travel."

Zhulan didn't rest well last night, and she couldn't sleep during the day when the car was bumpy and bumpy. She slept in a daze. Although she slept, she didn't dare to sleep too deeply. good.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was seven days later. After running for seven days in a row, the children couldn't bear it and fell ill for several times. There was no other way.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren also looked like dishes. If the two of them didn't keep exercising, they would probably fall ill.

Although they suffered, they had already traveled most of the way. Zhou Shuren and Zhulan could finally feel at ease. Little people like them didn't attract attention, so they didn't have to worry about being cannon fodder.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren felt relieved. The first day they slept in darkness, twelve hours and ten hours.

I didn't make up my sleep the next day, but I slept a lot, and I couldn't sleep any more.

Zhulan's nerves are no longer tense, and she has a lot of silver in her hand. She can't hold back her hand that wants to spend money, and proposes, "Let's go shopping in the town, I didn't buy anything good in the capital. Go back to town and buy some more presents."

Zhou Shuren didn't want to lie down anymore, "Okay."

Zhulan's first target jewelry store, this time she has money in her hand, she can buy more jewelry for her daughter to prepare for the dowry in advance, and buy some for herself.

Zhulan prefers jade, but doesn't like pearl jewelry. It's all because she sees many cultured pearls in modern times. They are round and big, and they are very cheap, so she really doesn't like pearls much.

Zhulan chose three pairs of jade bracelets, some gold-encrusted jade head hairpins, and finally bought some delicate head flowers for a few little girls.

A total of one hundred and two hundred and twelve taels were spent.

Afterwards, the two went shopping again, and Zhulan bought some more fabrics, but didn't buy any more.

Back at the inn, Zhou Shuren saw that Zhulan was playing with her jewelry without speaking, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
