Chapter 50 Buying a Horse
There's no way, I can't wait here to be beaten.

Yu Xiaolian put everything into the space, and finally, with a flash of inspiration, she simply took Yu Changhe into the space.

In this way, she and Mrs. Sun can leave with ease.

Fortunately, she has such a space, otherwise it would be really difficult.

Hurrying out from the back door of the pharmacy, Yu Xiaolian and Mrs. Sun didn't know where to go.

It was getting dark, so I had to find a nearby inn to stay.

Datong shop, general room, and upper room.

Yu Xiaolian decisively chose Pujian and spent half a tael of silver.

Mrs. Sun smacked her lips in distress at the side, it's so expensive!

The half a tael of money is just for accommodation, not food!
Yu Xiaolian was fine, and could accept the price.

On the surface, there were two people, but in fact three people lived in the common room of the inn.

There is only one bed in this room, which is fine for two people, but it cannot be squeezed for three people.

Yu Xiaolian released Yu Changhe and let him sleep on the bed with Mrs. Sun, while she prepared to make a bed on the floor. Fortunately, they lived on the second floor of the inn, and the floor was made of wood, so it wouldn't be too cold.

She took out the blanket and spread it on the floor, and lay down on it, which was quite comfortable.

Because their room was a common room, there was no extra decoration, but there were still windows. Hearing the noise from the street outside, Yu Xiaolian got up and opened the window.

On the street, a group of servants dressed in uniform household uniforms came aggressively here with wooden sticks in their hands, apparently heading towards Huichun Hall.

When the group of people went downstairs to the inn, Yu Xiaolian found out that Zhao Kuo was also inside. When did Zhao Kuo become the lackey of the Pan family?
I hope Zheng Langzhong and his son have already gone into hiding, otherwise, looking at the menacing appearance of the Pan family, I'm afraid they can't be kind.

Yu Xiaolian doesn't have much force value, and she can't help the Zheng family, and she doesn't want to cause trouble.

Mrs. Sun also came to lean on the window, saw a familiar figure at a glance, and shouted in surprise, "Ah, isn't that Zhao Kuo?"

Yu Xiaolian pulled back to Sun's and closed the window.

Mrs. Sun was puzzled, "Isn't this Zhao Kuo the head of the yamen? Why is he with the Pan family?"

Yu Changhe said, "There are people behind the Pan family, and the master of the yamen has to act according to the face of the Pan family. I didn't expect Zhao Kuo to really get involved with them!"

Back then when the Pan family broke Yu Changhe's leg and snatched the moonlight jade pendant, Yu Changhe thought about letting the county magistrate make the decision for him.

Zhao Kuo told Yu Changhe that the Pan family and the county magistrate were wearing a pair of trousers. If he went to sue the officials, it would not be lame, and he would die in prison for no reason.

Yu Changhe had lingering fears, so he didn't dare to sue the Pan family.

"Father, in fact, the matter of your jade pendant is what Zhao Kuo told the Pan family."

Yu Changhe frowned, "I guessed it, after I went to Jiang's house last time, I guessed it, but I don't want to admit it.

Zhao Kuo and I grew up together, and we have the best relationship, except for eating and sleeping together, the two of us stick together almost every day, go up the mountain to hunt birds, go down the river to catch fish..."

Yu Changhe never expected that Zhao Kuo would stab him in the back.

At the beginning, someone in the village gave Yu Changhe a generous gift in order to entrust Yu Changhe with an errand.But Yu Changhe didn't accept it, he just wanted to help his good brother Zhao Kuo.

Because of this matter, Yu Changfu and Cao Shi have always resented Yu Changhe in their hearts.

Yu Changfu couldn't read and couldn't be a government servant, but Cao's younger brother could read some characters, so he wanted Yu Changhe to arrange it, but in the end Yu Changhe chose to give the job to Zhao Kuo.

Yu Changhe sighed, thinking about it now, it's just that he doesn't know people well.

When Mrs. Zhao asked for the four taels of silver, although Zhao Kuo didn't come forward, Zhao Kuo must have known about it afterwards, but he never came to explain to Yu Changhe from the beginning to the end. He went out early and returned late every day, in fact, to avoid Yu Changhe.

"What? Was it Zhao Kuo's report?" Mrs. Sun didn't know anything about this matter, and only now did she know it after hearing what the two of them said.

Sun's mouth was like a series of cannonballs, scolding Zhao Kuo for a whole night.

Early the next morning, Yu Xiaolian took advantage of the time to go out to buy food, and ran to the Huichun Hall to take a look, only to see that the door of the Huichun Hall was closed and not open.

He casually dragged a passerby to inquire about it, only to find out that it turned out that the sky had changed overnight, and the surname of this shop was no longer Zheng.

"So, this pharmacy was blackmailed by Pan's family?"

"Don't dare to talk nonsense." The man waved his hands repeatedly, for fear that he would be heard speaking ill of the Pan family.

Yu Xiaolian asked again, "What about Mr. Zheng's family?"

The man whispered, "I heard that I couldn't stay in the town and went back to my hometown. Well, it's worth it to trade a shop for the safety of the whole family."

"Where is Mr. Zheng's hometown?"

"I don't know, I have something to do and I'm leaving first."

The man was afraid that if he continued talking, he would cause trouble, so he waved his hands again and again, and left quickly.

Yu Xiaolian bought four steamed stuffed buns and three donkey meat, and went back to the inn.

As soon as the waiter at the inn saw her, he asked them with a smile if they could not stay today, and if they could stay, they would pay, and if they could not, they had to leave before noon.

Yu Xiaolian couldn't say anymore, she must leave before noon.

This half taels of silver a day is not worth it.Besides, Langzhong Zheng was not in town anymore, and Yu Changhe's leg had to be seen by Langzhong again. She thought to herself that she might just go north, to Yangcheng.

It's just that if she just left, Jiang Lin would inevitably miss them, so how should she leave a message for Jiang Lin?
Thinking of the shortbread shop that Jiang Lin often went to, Yu Xiaolian decided to write a letter and put it there. As for when Jiang Lin would be able to buy shortbread, she didn't know.

let it go!
After Yu Xiaolian finished writing the letter, she gave ten copper coins to the aunt of the shortbread shop, as money for asking her to help deliver the letter.

The aunt is still an enthusiastic person. At first she didn't want the ten cents, but she was willing to accept it when Yu Xiaolian insisted on giving it.

And promised Yu Xiaolian that this letter would definitely be handed over to Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin often goes to buy shortbread, and every time he buys a lot, the aunt of the shortbread shop has known him for a long time, and she planned to introduce her niece to Jiang Lin, but later found out that Jiang Lin has no mother at home, only a bachelor Father, a family of two bachelors, her niece didn't want to, so she gave up.

Yu Xiaolian made arrangements for the letter, and then went to the embroidery shop where Mrs. Sun took her embroidery work, and returned the unfinished embroidery work of Mrs. Sun.

The proprietress of the embroidery village asked if something happened at home. Yu Xiaolian said that something had changed, but she left the embroidery village without elaborating on it.

After leaving Xiuzhuang, Yu Xiaolian went directly to the cattle and horse market, intending to buy a carriage.

In ancient times, there was no other means of transportation, and horses were the most convenient and quickest. Yu Xiaolian didn't want to go anywhere, so she used her feet to measure her.

If you don't ask, you don't know, but when you ask, you are startled. Yu Xiaolian thought that a horse is only thirty or forty taels of silver, fifty taels at most.

As soon as the cattle and horse dealer introduced it, Yu Xiaolian knew that in ancient times, cattle and horses were precious things, and good horses were even rarer.

Raising a good horse in ancient times is like having a supercar in modern times.

An older horse costs fifty taels, a middle-aged horse costs seventy taels, and a good horse in its prime costs one hundred taels.

The carriage needs to be calculated separately, which requires twelve taels.If it is a carriage with a shed, it will cost thirty taels, and if it is more luxurious, it will cost fifty taels.

Good guy, so expensive!
Yu Xiaolian naturally wanted to buy a strong and young horse, and the carriage had to have a shed, otherwise it would be exposed to the wind and sun when going out in the carriage.

Yu Xiaolian picked a big maroon-red horse with a tall head. There was not a single hair on the whole body of this horse.

Yu Xiaolian fell in love with it at a glance, and spent a long time trying to figure out the price. Finally, including the horse and the cart, it was sold for [-] taels.
