Make a lot of money!I got rich in the year of famine

Chapter 367 Open one eye and close one eye

He sat on the horse and looked at Shen Qing who was chatting and laughing with others with a gloomy face. The coldness around him was even three points colder than on this snowy day.

Someone behind him felt that he was blocking the road, and was about to aggressively come forward to argue, but was scared away by his look.

Shen Qing also felt a chill on his back. When he turned around and saw it was him, he smiled, "You came just in time. Your brother is now in your hands. Also, I spent fifty taels to redeem your brother just now. Remember to pay me back the money." .”

After saying that, without waiting for Huo Yunzhou to react, he took Luo Qin and left, while Zhao Jue walked in the other direction.

Huo Yunzhou calmed down, dismounted, threw the rope to the lieutenant who followed him, and strode into the hospital with rapid strides.

Seeing his brother lying on the bed with his face flushed, he was furious and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

The old doctor came over and explained, "This little brother suffered from the cold and the cold. He must have been frozen all night before his fever persisted. Don't worry, you can wake up after taking some medicine."

The young apprentice boiled the medicine and brought it to him.

Huo Yunzhou was silent for a moment, then took off his outer cloak and wrist guards, sat on the edge of the bed, took the medicine bowl, "He is my brother, I'm here to feed him, thank you for your help."

He was overwhelmed by that scene just now. Now that he calmed down, he remembered that he should take care of his younger brother. He was his only relative in the world.

The adjutant followed up, and when he saw Master Huo's condition, he knew that there would be a tough battle to be fought later.

"Sir, do you want to find the madam?"

"No need. He will be taken back directly after his fever subsides. You can hire a carriage."

"Yes!"

After his men went out, Huo Yunzhou helped his younger brother up, and with the help of his young apprentice, he gave him medicine.

Huo Lin woke up from the pain of the medicine. When he saw his brother coming, he felt aggrieved and annoyed, "Brother! I thought I was going to die."

Huo Yunzhou patted his head and comforted him softly, "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

Huo Lin was sobbing. From the night before yesterday, when he had dinner with Huang Xin, to yesterday morning, when he was dragged out by Hong Bajin, and then when he ran out of the brothel and was taken into prison, nothing happened. I told my brother.

He felt that his sister-in-law was trying to harm him, or that she was playing a high-end game and wanted him to kill himself.

"Brother, I don't like gambling, listening to plays, and visiting brothels. Can you talk to your sister-in-law and ask her to let me go?"

After hearing his brother's cry, Huo Yunzhou had a storm brewing in his eyes, "Let's go home with my brother."

"No, no, I'm not going back to your house. I'm going to the inn to find Shen Qing." The more he spoke, the more he felt that Huang Xin wanted to harm him. Was it because he was afraid that he would divide the family property? It’s really possible, I’ve heard similar dramas a lot!

Seeing that he didn't dare to go back, Huo Yunzhou stopped talking nonsense and directly picked up the quilt and took away the people in the quilt.

A carriage had stopped outside the hospital. Huo Yunzhou threw a silver coin to the old man and got into the carriage.

The men were driving the car outside. When they returned to Huo's house, the boy guarding the door was stunned when he saw him suddenly coming back. Then he ran inside happily, shouting as he ran.

"The uncle is back!"

The boy's voice was full of excitement.

It is estimated that Huo Yunzhou could not go back to his hometown more than ten fingers. Huang Xin in the bedroom was listening to Hong Bajin's report about Huolin.

It turned out that Hong Bajin got up satisfied early in the morning and went to knock on the door next door.

From what he thought, Huolin must have been busy all night, so it was normal for him to be so tired that he didn't wake up.

But the door of the room opened, and the prostitute accompanying Huolin pushed him with a dissatisfied look on her face, "Master Hong, what kind of friends do you have here! You ignored the good things you had done and ran away like a ghost. There must be something wrong with your brain."

"Run away?" Hong Bajin's voice was so loud that he almost woke up all the clients in the building.

"No, I ran away last night. I was going to report back to you, but I was afraid of delaying your good deeds. Mr. Hong, how about going into the slave's account tonight?"

Hong Bajin still had the intention to flirt with her, so he pushed the woman away and ran home.

When he asked the concierge, he didn't come back at all. He didn't dare to report to the master directly, so he had to look for him first.

But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find it, so he came back dejected and told the truth.

Huang Xin heard that Huo Lin was missing, but didn't take it seriously at all.

Yancheng has a curfew and the city gates are closed tightly. He must still be in the city. Since he didn't run out, it's not considered lost. Maybe... maybe he went to find that Nocun girl.

That's what she thought and did, so she sent only a few servants and Hong Bajin out to search.

Hong Bajin also speculated that he was caught and imprisoned by the patrollers, so he came back to seek help from his master and wanted to shirk some responsibility.

"Prison? Then go and ask! What did you say to me?"

Hong Bajin wondered: "How can you go to the prison to rescue people without money? Miss, why don't you ask the accountant to pay me another hundred taels of silver, otherwise I won't be able to get it out!"

Although the Huang family is the local emperor of Yancheng, they are just a garrison. There are also civil servants sent by the Northern Xia emperor in Yancheng, with the emperor's backing. When it comes to governing Yancheng, he and the Huang family belong to each other. Small matters are settled peacefully and major matters are negotiated. As long as the most fundamental interests are not touched, they turn a blind eye.

After all, the Huang family doesn't have the guts to become their own king.

When Huang Xin heard that she wanted money again, she immediately felt a pain in her body, "Didn't I give you one hundred taels yesterday? It only took one day and it was all spent? You spend money faster than me!" One hundred taels is enough for her to buy a lot of jewelry!
  She married Huo Yunzhou, which was regarded as a lowly marriage. The Huo family was completely poor.

Besides, Huo Yunzhou was also forced to do so in the first place. Huang Yun gave this house as a gift in the name of reward based on merit.

The dowry she brought was quite a lot, but she had always been used to being extravagant, and after leaving the house, she had no control from her parents. She spent money like water. Last month, the accountant showed her the account book, even though she didn't care about the money. I also feel that money is spent too quickly.

Has Hong Bajin spent all the one hundred taels of silver?

Not necessarily, but you still have to get what you need. This is the most basic quality of being a servant.

"Miss, oh no, madam, what you said is inappropriate. It's not like you don't know the prices in Yancheng. Everything is expensive. A small banquet costs more than a dozen taels. I brought Huo Xiao I went to take a bath, listen to the opera, and took him to have fun in the evening. Aren't these the favorite pastimes of men? I didn't know that he would run away in the middle of the night. Maybe he was poor at heart, and he was not like the people in our house. There is no comparison between these gentlemen."

Mr. Huang also has concubines, Hong Bajin refers to them, who eat, drink and have fun, but they are also in decline.

Huang Xin said with a sarcastic smile: "You're right, you just live a poor life and can't get on the stage." She thought of some of Huo Yunzhou's habits, such as being reluctant to throw away old clothes, and always cleaning the bowl when eating, not even a grain of rice. There is nothing left, and I don’t usually go out to drink wine and have a banquet. Isn’t this a poor life? (End of chapter)
