Chapter 323 Guarding and stealing?(1/2)

Yu Xiaolian became interested.

The old prince's tomb near Luocheng is the tomb of the old emperor's uncle, the former King of Yuzhou.

This tomb robber is capable. He even dares to rob royal tombs.

No, no, I'm afraid this is not an ordinary tomb robber. The tomb of the former King of Yuzhou is huge, with countless burial objects, and there are special tomb guards to guard it. It is impossible for ordinary tomb robbers to steal the old Yuzhou King's remains silently.

The tomb was robbed.

Could it be that in order to raise money, the King of Jin raised private soldiers to guard and steal?

Very likely.

In the book, the King of Jin had tens of thousands of private soldiers scattered throughout the three northwest continents.

Raising such a large number of soldiers would definitely not be possible just by doing business. In addition, the economy in the north and south was in recession, so the King of Jin thought his hands were tight, so he came up with the idea of ​​robbing the tomb.

But it would be interesting if this tomb was really stolen by the King of Jin.

Did King Jin abandon Mazhi County?

"On the day of Osamu?"

"Yes!" Zhao Erya nodded.

The month given to Mazhi County was not enough. How could Mazhi County still have time to deal with Su Jingchen? It was... interesting!

Yu Xiaolian held her chin with one hand and tapped the square kang table rhythmically with the other hand, trying hard to recall the plot of the book in her mind.

At this time in the book, Great Liang was in chaos. Not only did the war in the south never cease, but the barbarians in the north continued to harass and invade.

Now, everything is in chaos, everything is in chaos.

Yu Xiaolian suddenly asked Zhao Erya, "Is Ma Zhi County in Luocheng now?"

Zhao Erya shook his head, "No, I heard that Mazhi County went to Mangshan."

Yu Xiaolian nodded. She had a premonition that the official of Mazhi County would end.

Just because the prince's tomb was stolen, would the emperor really not doubt Prince Jin?

Or is this prince's tomb not a thief guarded by the King of Jin at all, but a trap made by the prince to frame the King of Jin?

But Yuzhou is the territory of the King of Jin, and it is unlikely that the prince's people will start a war under the nose of the King of Jin.

If the prince has such extraordinary abilities, then he will not be easily turned into cannon fodder in the book.

Yu Xiaolian couldn't understand the twists and turns, so she simply didn't think about it.

I was thinking that I would talk to Su Jingchen about this matter when I have the opportunity to see if he has any unique insights.

Zhao Erya said, "Xiao Lian, Su Xiucai asked me to tell you that the originally scheduled visit to our house to propose marriage on the first lunar month will have to be postponed."

Yu Xiaolian said oh, indicating that she understood.

Anyway, she was just about to say hello to Su Jingchen, so it coincided with her delay.

Yu Xiaolian changed the topic, "It's the Chinese New Year, have you and Sanya made new clothes?"

Zhao Erya shook his head, pulled up the cotton-padded clothes on his body and pointed it out to Yu Xiaolian, "My clothes are new. I have made so many useless ones. I can't wear them anymore."

"You are now the shopkeeper of Zhenpin Pavilion. You can't keep turning over the same two sets of clothes. I will buy you two more sets later."

"No need to trouble you, I'll buy it myself later." If Yu Xiaolian is asked to buy it, she will definitely choose the most expensive one. If she buys it herself, she will save a lot.

"Then don't forget to do it twice for Sanya.

Also, I see Sanya’s hands are cracked by the frost, what happened? Didn’t you say that she won’t be allowed to do rough work? Why are her hands like this?”

Since the number of servants in the Yu family increased, Yu Xiaolian asked Sanya to work with her sister, and Zhao Sanya was not allowed to do such tasks as fetching water, washing clothes, and sweeping the yard.

Zhao Erya smiled and said, "Do you still think her hands are for work? She was practicing martial arts with Sun Hu and the others all day long."

When it comes to his sister, Zhao Erya feels helpless.

Although they were bought back by Yu Xiaolian, Yu Xiaolian never treated them as human beings, and always treated them like sisters.

In the past, there were only a few people in the family, so they had to do a lot of work. Later, they bought a mother-in-law, mother-in-law, and her daughter, so they did some light work. Later, there were more and more servants in the family, so Yu Xiaolian simply let them become ladies.

If you have any work, just ask others to do it.

Zhao Erya thought about those ladies of the world, Xiao Jiabi

Aren't all the girls in Yu's family good at embroidery, so she also wanted Zhao Sanya to learn embroidery skills from the embroiderers, but it seemed that her younger sister preferred to wield swords.

Moreover, she once saw a wall that was as high as one person, and Sanya climbed over it in an instant. She was so fast that she thought she was dazzled.

"You have to protect your hands when practicing martial arts. Make her some cotton gloves." Yu Xiaolian knew that Zhao Sanya always hung out with Sun Hu.

"I made it, but people don't wear it because it's inconvenient to hold a sword with gloves!"

"Sword? Sanya has started to dance with the sword now?" In the summer, when she looked at their children, they were still holding branches!

"It's a sword. I heard that Su Xiucai asked someone to give it to them, but it's not sharp. It's very blunt and won't hurt anyone." Those boys each have a sword. Zhao Erya is not surprised, so Zhao Erya

What Ya didn't expect was that Su Xiucai also gave Zhao Sanya a dagger for girls.

Iron products at this time were not easy to come by. It can only be said that Su Xiucai was serious about it.

"Haha... All of them can learn and practice martial arts at the same time. They are all talents that can be made!" Yu Xiaolian smiled.

Zhao Erya suddenly remembered, "By the way, Xiao Lian, your cousin, Sun Manyu, came to Zhenpin Pavilion some time ago. She knows that Zhenpin Pavilion is owned by our family."

"There is no airtight wall in the world. It is not surprising that Li Wenyuan studied at Luocheng Academy and knew that Zhenpin Pavilion was opened by our family.

But what did Sun Manyu do in Zhenpin Pavilion?"

Not only are the items in Zhenpin Pavilion priceless, they are also extremely expensive. At least ordinary people, ordinary consumers, will never set foot in Zhenpin Pavilion.

"She said that her mother-in-law was celebrating her birthday and she wanted to buy her a gift to please her."

Zhao Erya suddenly got off the ground and raised his hands, "I'll teach you how to behave like her."

Ahem... It was my mother-in-law's birthday on the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month. I wanted to buy her a decent birthday gift, but unexpectedly I went into my own store, haha...

Quickly take out the best jewelry in our shop and show it to me.

At this time, the man standing next to her gave her a tug and told her that the things in our shop were expensive.

She also waved her handkerchief and started bragging with the man, saying that this was her aunt's shop and that her aunt loved her the most since she was a child.

I couldn't stand it at that time, so I pushed her.

I asked her why do you want our Zhenpin Pavilion to give your mother-in-law a birthday gift? That’s not possible, our lady said, even if Prince Jin comes, you still have to collect money!"

Yu Xiaolian couldn't help laughing when she saw Zhao Erya playing two roles, "Then what did she say?"

Zhao Erya pinched his waist, imitated Sun Manyu's look and tone, and said coquettishly, "You lowly servant, if you dare to talk to me like this, you will be betrayed by my aunt!"

I told her, go ahead, I'm not afraid.

Do you want to buy something? If you don’t want to buy something, just stand aside and don’t delay others from buying.”

"Haha... Then she must be very angry, right?" Yu Xiaolian discovered that Zhao Erya had also learned from her and turned bad.

But some people really can't be polite to them, especially those who are as thick-skinned as Sun Manyu, which is simply annoying.

Zhao Erya clapped her hands and laughed and said, "No, she was so angry that she refused to leave. She insisted on choosing a jade bracelet and paying the bill. I didn't agree, and finally let the young daughter-in-law from the same village who came with her be dragged away.

Already.

When he was leaving, he even told me that he wanted to make me look good.

Speaking of which, it's been seven or eight days since this happened, hasn't she returned to Taohua Village?"

"No, I haven't seen her." Although Xinghua Village is not far from Taohua Village, Sun Manyu rarely comes back after her marriage. She doesn't know whether she doesn't want to come back or her mother-in-law doesn't let her come back.

.

Zhao Erya estimated that the carriage outside was almost unloaded, and said, "I brought back the account books, and I also brought back the income during this period. Do you want to reconcile the accounts?"

It was the end of the year, and it was time to take stock of the accounts, but Yu Xiaolian was restless and lazy, so she simply asked Zhao Erya to move the account books to Yu Yi for proofreading, so that she could know her family's total income this year.

As for the silver coins Zhao Erya brought back, they were all moved into Sun's room.

It's the end of the year, and Yu Xiaolian asks Sun to discuss his merits

As a reward, give red envelopes to those who deserve them, so that everyone can be happy. After all, it’s the Chinese New Year, and it’s better to be happy alone than to be happy together.

Mrs. Sun looked at the silver in the two wooden boxes and became worried.

Ever since her daughter said that during the war, the money bank notes were just pieces of paper, so she had never kept any money notes. However, the money was very heavy and took up a lot of space. Ms. Sun felt that she was running out of room to hide the money.

.

"Lian'er, please take this money and put it in the space. I really have no place to hide it here." Mrs. Sun was very distressed.

"Mom, I still have tens of thousands of taels of space, please keep these as flowers." The main reason is that when she leaves next year, she doesn't know how many years it will take to come back. She is thinking about the silver taels, and she wants to give more to Sun and Yu Changhe.

It's better to keep some.

Mrs. Sun shook her head and whispered, "Lian'er, my mother has nearly ten thousand taels in her hands. There are too many for me to handle."

Mrs. Sun divided the money into three places and hid it, one was under the wooden bed where she and Yu Changhe slept in the summer, one was in the kang cabinet on the kang, and the other was hidden in the vegetable cellar by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Yu, who imitated her.
