Chapter 146

I don't know who first reported it, saying that the Liao army had crossed the Yellow River and was about to approach Bianliang, ready to attack the city overnight.

This is said with nose and eyes, as if seeing it with one's own eyes.

Rumors spread one after another, first from the night market, then in Bianliang City's big houses, brothels, casinos, in short, places where people don't sleep in the middle of the night, the bad news that the Khitan people are coming is spread everywhere.

In the end, it spread to all the defenders on the city gate. Even these soldiers doubted their lives.

Quickly put the swords and guns on the shelves, and even pulled out the crossbow for defending the city. His eyes were fixed on the darkness outside the city, his heart was pounding, and he was afraid that a group of northern barbarians would suddenly rush out of the night.

That night, Bianliang City had no sleep.

When the alarm bell was heard, the Imperial City Siqin Army Guards and Imperial Guards in Bianliang City also took action one after another, all of them staring at each other, preparing to deal with possible rebellious officials and thieves in the city.

The palace was once again closed, and the news was once again cut off. Some civil and military ministers also surrounded Xuande Gate like headless chickens, circling around in a hurry.

Thousands of households in Bianliang City heard the "rumors" at this time, all of them were packing and tidying up, and even the gates of the car and horse dealers were shot open overnight, most of the night was full of people who wanted to rent cars.

Anyway, when it was almost dawn, the gate of Nancheng was already crowded with Bianliang people who were about to flee. Among them, there were not many rich and powerful families, who drove the carriage and directly blocked the 200-meter-wide royal road.

Wei's Inn is located in the south of the city, and the noise in the city naturally affected the people staying at the inn.

Early in the morning, Chen Jinshu went out to inquire about the news, and then hurried back: "It's not good, it's not good. I heard that the Liao army is coming, and they will cross the Yellow River soon. Everyone is going to flee."

These words startled everyone, the house was ransacked yesterday, and the country is going to be wiped out today, why is the Chen family so unlucky?

Those little daughter-in-laws who had no idea were crying again.

Chen Jinbai didn't quite believe it: "Impossible? We saw my father-in-law yesterday. If there is a military, he wouldn't have reminded us."

"Ah, big brother, whether it's true or not, the key is for us to evacuate Bianjing as soon as possible. If we go late, we won't be able to hire a boat to the south."

Everyone can tell that Mr. Chen is in a hurry to go to the south.

The old lady nodded: "Okay, no matter it's true or not, anyway, your third room is always going to the south, you and your mother come to the room."

After everyone in the third room entered the room, Zhiyuan immediately closed the door.

The old lady sat on the bed and took something out of her arms.

"Shu'er, you are going to Lin'an Mansion. We don't know if we will see each other again in this life. Before, you always said that mother favored your elder brother and second brother, but you are also the flesh that fell from mother's body. Is there any reason to feel sorry for you?"

When Chen Jinshu heard this, he knelt down with a plop, hugged the old lady's leg, and tears fell like that.

Everyone in the third room, including the children, all knelt down.

"This is the deed of Renfang in Lin'an Mansion. This is a courtyard with three entrances and a large shop. You can settle here when you arrive in Lin'an. When you have money in the future, you can buy a big house yourself.

This is a 1 taels of bank note. Your money has been confiscated. You take this bank note and spend money everywhere in strange places. Mother can't help you. Shu'er, you must remember that your surname is Chen, in the future, we must not lose the reputation of our Chen family, remember? "

Unexpectedly, before leaving, the old lady gave this big gift.Twenty thousand taels of silver were given back and forth, and a big house in the center of the city was added. This gift is not light.

When Chen's family was in such a difficult situation with money, the old lady gave so much money quietly, so how could there be any partiality?This moved everyone in Sanfang beyond words.

Even Chen Buwei kowtowed to his grandmother sincerely, and Chen Buyu cried like a child.

Chen Jinshu was already crying at this time: "Mother, the child is unfilial, I'm sorry, mother."

The old lady touched his head, and tears rolled down her face:
"The past is over, and you will live in your own home from now on. Whether you make money or lose money is your own business, so you must do your best to raise your children. Mother will take care of yourself. Come back when you are free." Bianliang came to see my mother."

The people in the third room walked very quickly. They didn't have anything left. They didn't even need to bring a "suitcase". They followed the "fleeing army" and prepared to go out of the south gate and go to the Bianhe Wharf outside the city to take a boat southward.

All the male members of the Chen family were sent to Nanxunmen, and Yiyi bid farewell.

On the way back, Chen Jinshu and Chen Jinbai were both in a bad mood. Because of the separation of the two brothers last night, there was a little estrangement between them.

"Brother, when are you going to Chengdu?"

"Oh, we are going to take a step back. Now that the raw materials of Angong Niuhuang Wan at home have been seized, I plan to go to Dengzhou to purchase them myself. I went to Chengdu, far away from the sea. It will be difficult to purchase these raw materials in the future. "

An important ingredient in Angong Niuhuang Pill is "rhinoceros horn".

There are also rhinos in the territory of Dazhou, but only in the south, and the number is extremely rare, so the medicines of "Jingshitang" are all imported from abroad, such as Southeast Asian countries, even India and Africa.

Most of them are shipped by big food merchants by sea all the way from Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou to the north, until Dengzhou is the end point, and return when they are sold out.

Rhinoceros horn is not only an important medicinal material, but also can be made into inexpensive handicrafts. It is very popular among the upper class. In addition, the quantity is scarce. The cannibals only come twice a year, so the price is very high.

Although Chen Jinbai knew that his son had transferred some medicinal materials, there were not many in stock.

If the second room really wanted to reopen their business in Bianliang and fight the world again, this magical medicine "Angong Niuhuang Pill" must be indispensable, so he needed to make a lot of it, and there was a relatively large gap in raw materials.

"How about it, big brother, I'll let Bu Nu go to Dengzhou with you, and I'll have someone to take care of me on the way. In the past few years, our distribution of medicinal materials has been uneven, so you must be careful."

Chen Jinsong nodded when he heard this: "That's fine. I'm a little worried about going alone with the caravan. It's just that this purchase requires a lot of money. We are already poor and empty. What should we do?"

It is difficult to find the old lady.

This time the Chen family was in trouble, the old lady took out all her own money, and this time her two sons were going to Dengzhou to buy goods, so she paid another [-] taels of silver.

This made all the men in the Chen family feel ashamed, how old they are, and they have been gnawing on the old.

The Chen family had been busy for a long time, and suddenly Chen Jinbai found that there was one person missing, so he asked, "Where did that child go?"

Chen Bu'er had been working all night, and at this time he was sleeping soundly in his room, heartless.
