Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 65 Grandpa?

"Your Majesty... no, is the imperial court really going to move to Yao Lin?"

Mei Erhu didn't expect that Mrs. Mei would bring such big news after going around the city.

His mother is so powerful!

After such a comparison, Mei Erhu was also a little frustrated and said: "I walked around in the afternoon, and it turned out that these people didn't have any reliable information to ask for, and they were all complaining~"

After saying this, Mei Erhu sighed again, is this the difference between the city and outside the city?

People in the city know everything, but people outside the city are like headless flies.

"Now everyone is discussing where to go, or where else is willing to take advantage of people like us."

Mei Erhu said and sighed again, "But in my opinion, what Huaichu has done is definitely not an exception. I guess the threshold for other people to settle down is also not low!"

"I heard... Huaichu said it was taking in these people. Although Hua Yinzi is allowed to settle down, it's not certain where you will be assigned. It may not be in the city."

At this time, Cui'er also spoke. Because she bought tea at the teahouse earlier, she naturally heard the news.

Although the people in this teahouse have not been able to enter the city, those who are willing to spend some money to drink water at this time are not very poor.

"How to say?"

Mrs. Mei looked at Cui'er.

"I heard that some people spent money to settle down, but instead of entering the city, they were arranged to live in a town below Huaichu."

"Oh my God! After receiving so much money, did you send it to the town?"

Mrs. Han's eyes almost popped out of her eyes when she heard about the settled money. She had never seen so much money in her life. It turned out to be a good thing. Who could bear to receive the money and send it to the town below?

“It’s nice to have a town to go to~”

However, Mrs. Mei hummed and felt that this was reasonable.

In normal times, Huaichu is a big city in the area around here. If the local people want to spend money to buy houses and properties in the city, the price cannot be solved with a hundred taels of silver.

Besides, she entered the city today, and the houses in the city were crowded. Is there any place to stay in the city?

Even if there is, it is still possible if you are asked to pay a sum of money.

"Everything in the city costs money. It's good to be in a town. If you still have some money, you can buy a better house."

Mrs. Mei was already thinking about what would happen if they went to Yao Lin's place.

If the emperor had gone somewhere, he must have followed many dignitaries, and there must have been many people who left the capital with him that day.

It is certain that Yao Lin will take in the people from the north, just because the money to settle there is much higher than that of Huaichu.

Moreover, if the capital of Anguo is really set to be located there in the future, let alone the city, the surrounding land will be rising.

Mrs. Mei and the others were able to sneak into the villages and towns below just because they burned high incense.

But the key lies in how much money was spent on this incense, and whether the money is worth it.

If it costs a few hundred taels to get a shabby thatched hut, then Mrs. Mei doesn't mind running a little further.

Even if she thought that being closer to the emperor would be safer and she would get the news faster, but it is still impossible for her to go without food or drink just to get the news.

"Tomorrow morning we will go to Yao Lin along the official road first. Yao Lin is about a hundred miles away from Huaichu along the official road. The sooner we go, the better. There will be many people behind us, so we will go there in vain."

Nowadays, apart from the people who followed the emperor and his officials, they know where the emperor has gone. There are many people in other areas who were forced to cross the Yangtze River and flee south. They don't know the news at all.

Mrs. Mei and the others must make good time difference and seize the opportunity.

The ones keeping vigil tonight are Mei Qian and Mrs. Mei.

Mei Qian wanted to ask Mrs. Mei something. Mrs. Mei had noticed it a long time ago. Just listening to her second son's loud snoring that night, Mrs. Mei felt that it would be okay for her and Mei Qian to talk a little. No one else can hear it anyway.

"Nai, how come you know all those jewelry?"

Mei Qian got straight to the point and mentioned jewelry first.

As for the jewelry, Mei Qian later heard Mrs. Mei's description, plus the price of her breasts. Mei Qian felt that Mrs. Mei's daring to ask for such a high price was definitely not unreasonable.

"Ask Mr. Li Xiaolang."

"what?"

Obviously, Mei Qian didn't expect that she still had the time to ask Li Baizhou.

Seeing Mei Qian's surprised look, Mrs. Mei raised her lips and said, "What? Do you think you have been staring at Li Xiaolangjun all day long? Do you think you don't know?"

"No! I just stare at each other every day or something?"

Mei Qian subconsciously felt that the tone of her voice was strange, and her face turned red.

When she first stared at Li Baizhou, wasn't she worried that he would do something bad?

How could she keep staring at him after that?
She thought about it and looked at her mother again. After all, curiosity took over everything, and said: "Why are you so confident about asking him about those things we have?"

“Because that kid comes from a wealthy family and has seen a lot of good things, so he won’t covet our little things.

Besides, we haven’t seen each other since he left. Even if he thinks about it and can’t find us, what should he be afraid of? "

Mrs. Mei was very free and easy. She didn't take out all the jewelry she had bought at the time, but she specifically picked out a few expensive ones and asked Li Baizhou to identify them.

The rest of the gold and silver jewelry will be passed on to future generations as heirlooms, and there is little risk in taking them away after decades or centuries.

Therefore, as long as she pays attention to it, she needs to pawn it now.

“Those black markets collect items quickly, but there are a lot of people there, including both good and evil.

We are new here and don’t know anyone. We rush to the black market and don’t even know if we can get away without taking the time. "

Mrs. Mei thought about it for several days on the boat before she decided to go to a serious pawn shop to pawn the items.

"And those serious pawn shops will not just accept things just because they are greedy, even if they are very good things."

Mrs. Mei told Mei Qian what she knew. Mei Qian nodded thoughtfully. Before she could ask again, Mrs. Mei said in detail:
"As the saying goes, 'A man relies on his clothes, and a horse relies on its saddle.' When you take out such a valuable thing, you must have a corresponding identity. Don't be suspected of being a runaway slave from a wealthy family or a robber.

Once this label is put on them, like the greedy things I mentioned above, then they can be greedy openly. If we don't tell you if we can't sell it, we might end up getting sued. "

"So, Nai bought some good red dates and sugar, and you want someone to wrap them more carefully, right?"

Mei Qian asked in a low voice, and Mrs. Mei nodded like a child.

After that, Mrs. Mei talked about the testing and packaging of jewelry later, all to imply that the poor guy looked like she was deliberately dressing up and not showing off her wealth.

"There are so many people fleeing south these days. There are many people who are careful and careful. There are many people who dress up like us and dress inconspicuously. Those pawn shop owners have been here for many years and have never seen anything. They have sharp eyes. If you It’s not good to pretend to have nothing, and it’s not good to pretend too much.”

This Mei Qian and Xiao Mei were talking about the same thing. Mei Qian finally couldn't help but ask: "Then... Nanny, how on earth do you know these things?"

Mrs. Mei glanced at the curious Mei Qian, added firewood to the fire, and whispered with a smile on her face: "Your grandpa taught me~"

　It was also thrilling when grandma fled when she was young, hahahaha.

　　Grandpa has status, but he is not from a very noble family, but he does know everything.

　　If you really have a wealthy and distinguished family, you won't end up retiring to the countryside with your grandma. There should be some mention of this later.
