Chapter 313： down to the bone

Latest website: The next day, Ming Teng was eating while standing. He was beaten when he went back in the evening. After breakfast, Ming Teng had to go horseback riding no matter how painful his **** was. Even the steady Ming Yun’s eyes shone brightly.

Zhou Shuren was already busy with everything he should be busy with, and he really had nothing to do, ahem, of course he wouldn't let Zhulan lose his words, and he pushed everything away.

Zhulan thought that Changzhi would also be interested in horseback riding, but as a result, Changzhi didn't pay any attention to it, and after dinner, Zhou Lao Er set a carriage to return to Zhoujia Village.

The vegetable yard in the house has no vegetables, and the place is very large. Zhou Shuren and a few children rode horses in the vegetable garden.

The horse I bought was not a good horse, and it was specially designed to pull carriages. The horses were very gentle and family-friendly, and the children were more courageous. Ming Yun knew how to ride a horse, so he even dared to trot on a horse. Jump and jump.

Not only boys like horseback riding, but girls also like it. Zhulan is also quite talented in learning to ride horses. She learned it with Zhou Shuren at her parents’ home. Zhulan rode for a while with her two granddaughters in her arms.

Xuehan's eyes sparkled, "Mother, I want to learn too."

Zhulan didn't think it was bad for girls to learn to ride horses. If girls learn to ride horses, there is really nothing to be able to run on horseback since they are young, "Okay."

Zhulan carried her daughter up and taught the little girl the essentials. Xuehan's talent is also good, and she is also very courageous.

In the morning, several children were very happy to play.

Zhulan sat in the chair watching the children play, and the corners of her mouth were hooked. The lively place in ancient times was full of energy.

Zhou Shuren played with the children for one day, and the next day went to see friends in the county.

Zhulan was also busy with her work, and in a few days, they were going to return to Pingzhou.

Zhulan first made the two children's cotton coats and small shoes, and then let Zhou Lao Er collect a lot of mountain goods, and these mountain goods will be taken to the capital to eat.

Then Zhulan went back to Zhoujia Village again, and went back to her mother's house to visit her parents twice, but the atmosphere in her mother's house was a little bad. The three grandchildren of the Yang family were all fighting, and the war was not over yet. human.

Eight days have passed by the time Zhulan is supposed to meet, and everything that needs to be prepared is ready.

During this period, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went to the county magistrate's house, and Dong Lin didn't mention Zhulan's handling of Dong's family.

It is estimated that she heard from Mr. Dong that she likes fur, and Mr. Dong Lin only returned fur, and they were all high-quality fur, and there were two fox furs!

When Mr. Dong came back from her parents' home, Zhulan found that Mrs. Dong was more sensible than before, and it could be said that she was more able to hide her thoughts than before.

On the fifteenth day of Xuemei's confinement, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren set off for Pingzhou.

Zhulan gave Xuemei the silver locks for the two children. When the children were washing the third, because they were twins, Zhulan was afraid of tossing the children and did not let them do it. The full moon must be done. Zhulan gave the two children the full moon. All the money was given to Zhao, and the full moon banquet was given to Xuemei.

In the end, Zhulan left 15 taels of silver to the Zhao family, which contained the monthly money for their family of four, as well as some money for the rice and grain household.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren left, Yushuang and Mingrui cried very hard, but Jiang Du and Jiang Miao were used to it. They knew that their grandmother and grandfather were not grandparents, so it was normal for them to be separated.

But Yushuang and Mingrui can't do it. Although my grandparents used to travel far, they knew they would be back soon. I don't know if they will be back in a few months this time!

While Zhulan was sad, she thought she was a good child. When the carriage was far away, Zhulan opened her eyes when she couldn't hear the cries, and she felt uneasy when she heard the cries.

On the way back to Pingzhou, Bamboo Orchid was languid and had no energy. When she returned to her home in Pingzhou, Zhu Lan recovered.

The Zhou family is missing the second child, and it seems that there are a lot of people missing. The second room did not have much sense of existence before, but it is really no longer at home, and the sense of existence is now there.

The first is Boss Zhou. Without Boss Zhou here, Boss Zhou can only work on his own.

The second is the Dong family. Without the help of the Zhao family, the Dong family has a lot of work.

Early the next morning, Zhulan asked Li Shi and Xuehan to pack their luggage and prepare to leave for the capital.

Zhou Shuren found the team and set off in seven days. Zhao Bo and Wu Ming have been informed that Zhulan and Zhou Shuren will not ride the carriage hired by the family this time.

One was reserved for Zhou Lao Er in his hometown, and the other was reserved for Chang Lian.

This time, I brought a lot of things with Zhulan into Beijing. It takes a truckload of mountain goods. There are still useful things. I also counted some of the gifts I received and brought them with me. I picked some to hold for Dong’s family. The rest of the gifts were sealed in boxes and locked in the house, and she took the keys with her.

In ancient times, this was very good. No one dared to open the things locked by the elders except thieves.

The most important thing in returning to Pingzhou is to buy slaves. Pingzhou City bought slaves in Dongcheng, and Zhulan came back to know that a few days ago, officials in Pingzhou City had pressed many slaves to come.

This is to mention the emperor's great purge. In several states to the north, one-third of the officials were killed, and the rest were confiscated and exiled. The property of these officials was confiscated, and slaves were also one of the properties. It is also going to be resold, and each state city has bet on some sales.

Many merchants like to buy these official servants because they have a lot of knowledge about the rules.

It's a pity, the emperor of this dynasty is a person who is considered to his bones. He can obviously sell it in one prefecture. If he has to divide it into several prefectures, there are more people who sell it. Naturally, the higher price will be obtained, and the money will be made more. .

Zhulan was also very excited, but she didn't know if she was lucky enough to buy it, because it was so popular.

And she knew it was a little late, and the good ones were picked away.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went together. Zhulan felt uncomfortable when she saw the slaves waiting to be sold once again reminded herself how dangerous ancient life was.

Yazi knew that Zhulan needed a family, and Le's eyes narrowed, and the number of slaves who bought a family was the most, "Madam, you are a little late, the good ones have been bought, and the remaining family is a little older. , take a look."

Zhulan followed Yazi to the yard. The living conditions were actually acceptable. The servants who were waiting to be sold were also clean and tidy. When Zhulan thought about it, these people were all silver. In order to sell more money, they would not too harsh.

There were eight members of a family standing in the yard. The old couple looked like they were in their fifties, a couple looked like they were in their thirties, and there were four children and three boys. Year-old appearance, a girl about ten years old.

Zhulan looked at it carefully. The hair of the family was meticulous, and they stood in a well-behaved manner. Zhulan understood why the family was left behind. The two old people were too old to do much work. The age is basically old age, and the old lady is very thin and looks weak. The four children, the two younger ones, are too young to do much work, so naturally no one in this family wants them.
