After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 40
Su Mo reached out to catch it, and took advantage of the light of the lantern to look at it. The purse was made of high-quality brocade, and tiger patterns were embroidered with gold thread on it. It was valuable at first glance.

The purse was also bulging, with a grainy feel at the bottom. Su Mo opened it directly in front of Huo Sijiu, and found a folded silver ticket inside, with golden bumps in the shape of peanuts and melon seeds underneath.

Su Mo moved slightly, held the purse in his hand, nodded and bowed to thank Huo Sijiu, and said a few more auspicious words.

The whole Huo Sijiu felt a little embarrassed, the money in this purse was nothing more than his usual pocket money and gold lumps for rewarding servants...

"It's alright, alright, let's go quickly, I feel sick to my stomach just looking at you so slutty."

Huo Sijiu raised his chin and waved his hands. The servant next to him suddenly showed a look of understanding, walked over, pushed Su Mo away, and left with the cart.

When Su Mo came back to his senses, Huo Sijiu had already left quickly surrounded by the servants.

The rented scooter was towed away, so naturally it could not be returned, Su Mo showed a helpless smile, and treated it as if he had bought a scooter for fifty Wen.

She stuffed her purse into her bosom, and planned to go to the lake to wash her face first, remove the forehead powder from her face, and then go back to the inn, and then buy some Huzhou specialties to bring to her three children tomorrow.

Just walking, Su Mo felt something was wrong, someone was following her.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Su Mo looked at the lake not far away. A two-storey painted boat swayed in the center of the lake, surrounded by many flower boats, reflecting the lake sparklingly. , so lively.

With a lot of thoughts, she pretended not to notice and continued to walk with her back on her back, until she came to a flower boat parked on the shore.

After inquiring with the boatman, I found out the general situation, especially after learning that there is no money to go on the painting boat, but after eating, drinking and having fun inside, I decisively said that I wanted to go on the painting boat.

The boatman looked him up and down, he was thin and yellow, and he was only wearing ordinary cotton cloth. He shook his head, and he was another country man who indulged after earning a small amount of money.

He stepped aside, and after Su Mo boarded the boat, he swung the oars, wondering how long this kid could last before being thrown off the boat.

The flower boat swayed on the water, getting closer and closer to the painting boat.

The black armored guard who followed Su Mo stood under a willow tree and frowned slightly when he saw him go to the boat.

The commander said beforehand, don't lose him, and don't expose him. If he boards the ship rashly, as a black armored guard, he may alarm many people.

He glanced left and right, the lake was wide, and the painting boat was parked in the center of the lake. If the guests inside wanted to leave, they had to come here by flower boat to disembark.

It's better to stay here, if someone comes out, he will follow up, if not, then wait for the leader to interrogate and bring other brothers over.

In addition, the appearance of that person has already been engraved in his heart, no matter whether that person is a real mountain farmer or a cunning spy, he can never escape under his nose.

……

The original body is at least the daughter of an outsider, and she used to swim in the lake with her friends when she was young, and she also has a painting boat at home, so Su Mo is not so unfamiliar with the structure of the painting boat.

She looked around silently, the second floor was an empty building, surrounded by gauze, standing at the bow, she could vaguely see the dancing graceful figure reflected in the gauze.

Looking to the side, there is a luxuriously dressed woman standing on the boat, and a woman with revealing clothes clings to the rich man and comes down the stairs...

She narrowed her eyes and followed silently.

Except for the cabin, the painting boat has two floors. The attic on the top is mainly used to enjoy the scenery, and the lower floor is also used to enjoy the "view".

Su Mo was walking in the aisle, listening to the humming of "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-ahhhh" from the brightly lit houses with a blank face.

She found an unoccupied room, pushed the door open and entered, then decisively closed the door and dropped the bolt.

The room is not too big, Su Mo opened the window, and the moonlight came in, illuminating the room.

There was a teapot on the table, and there was some tea in it.

Wet the sleeves with tea, wiped off the things on the face, neck, and hands in front of the bronze mirror on the dressing table, and after confirming that they were clean, slipped out without a sound.

At this time, there happened to be three young masters in fancy clothes who were drunk, walking behind each other and planning to get off the boat.

Seven or eight servants followed behind him, stretching out their hands to protect him, for fear that his son might fall.

There were so many people, Su Mo's heart moved, he followed behind calmly, and got into the boat with the servants.

She lowered her head, under the night, the people around thought she was the servant of her young master's friend, and looked away after one glance.

The boat headed towards the shore. Su Mo didn't know if the person following her had left. For safety's sake, she kept her head slightly lowered. Even when she went ashore, she was mixed in with the crowd...

The black armored guard naturally noticed the three boats approaching the shore. He glanced over and landed on the three young masters with messy feet in front of him, with a flash of disdain in his eyes.

As for the servants behind them, they even glanced over them hastily and didn't pay attention to them.

Su Mo walked to the end of the crowd silently, and after confirming that no one was following her, she turned around decisively at the entrance of the alley and left.

Then he went straight to the inn, changed his clothes, and went to the pier to find out when there was a boat to Haiyan County.

After inquiring around, Su Mo decided to pay for a return ticket at Maoshi tomorrow at the earliest. On the way back, he went to the bookstore to buy some paper, inkstone, pen and ink, and the thousand-character inscription used by Kaimeng.

From the very beginning, Su Mo planned to let the three children learn to read, but at that time food and clothing were a problem, so she had to give up.

Later, when food and clothing were settled, I went to Haiyan County to inquire. There is only one academy in Haiyan County, called Bailu Academy.

The Mongolian hall sent to the academy costs two taels of silver a year, but there are many people and there are mixed fish and dragons.

Su Mo saw with her own eyes a few rich kids ordering her servants to beat up her classmates. She was not a meddlesome person, and she just felt that if Gu Jinnian was sent away, it would be counterproductive.

There are quite a lot of private schools, two to four taels of silver for Shu Xiu, but the Mongolian Hall only accepts ten students, and they are all accepted after being assessed by the private school teacher.

Shuxiu is a little expensive, Su Mo couldn't afford it, so he had to ask for a second, and went to the bookstore to buy some enlightenment books and teach them by himself, but found that these things were more expensive...

Fortunately, now in Huzhou Prefecture, she has found books of good quality and affordable prices, as well as paper, inkstone and ink.

Su Mo twisted the packed things, and bought two pairs of pearl flowers for Gu Xingnian at the street pavement, and brought a box of rouge for Fang Yue.

By the way, I went to have dinner, and all the money I had stolen from Mrs. Wang was spent, so Su Mo returned to the inn.

Ask the buddy to bring hot water in, take a comfortable bath, sit on the boat with knees bent, and open the purse given by Huo Sijiu.

The face value of silver notes in the Yong Dynasty was at least ten taels and the highest at 1000 taels.

Su Mo took out the bank note, opened it, and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the denomination.

A silver ticket of 500 taels is a huge sum of money for this family.

He poured out the golden peanuts and golden melon seeds in his purse, looked carefully, picked another one and bit into his mouth, the golden peanuts immediately left tooth marks, it was real gold.

Su Mo yawned, put the things back into her purse, stuffed them into her arms, and lay down.

Eyelids were so sleepy that they were fighting, and at the last moment of falling asleep, she thought, when the time comes, put a longevity lock on the three children...
