Zheng Tiangang didn't expect that he would have his own new clothes. He was so flattered that he waved them away.

"Madam, I have clothes to wear, so don't waste your money."

"I've bought everything, so just take it. It's not just you, Chu An also has it. King Shi and the others also have it. Don't be polite."

Cheng Zhilan put the clothes next to Zheng Tiangang's seat.

Zheng Tiangang saw that everyone had new clothes, so he accepted them and thanked Cheng Zhilan.

He was filled with emotion.The Marquis of Jingxi and his family are all good people. The money the young lady gave him has not been used yet, and now she is buying him clothes.

He made up his mind that as long as he could survive in Nanzhou, he would move his family to Nanzhou and live next to the young marquis' family so that they could take care of each other.

He has no other abilities, so he can always help their family with menial tasks.

After getting the clothes done, the family continued shopping.

Yan Ruoli observed the pedestrians on the street and found that many of them were wearing patched clothes, were thin, and looked disheveled. At first glance, they seemed to be struggling to provide food and clothing.

There were not many well-dressed people, even fewer people riding horse-drawn carriages, and there were many beggars on the roadside.

She suddenly discovered that the clothes of her group were actually not very bad.

The clerk in the clothing store just now was really too arrogant.

They were just strolling along the way, and he didn't see them riding in a carriage.Otherwise, maybe the attitude will be better, right?

Looking at the streets, they are quite wide and flat.The buildings on both sides of the street are not very new, but they are all well-built.

Yan Ruoli was a little confused and asked Ye Weiyun: "Are all people so poor? Or are they reluctant to wear clothes and eat and spend all their money on building houses?"

Ye Weiyun was also observing the passers-by on the street, with a touch of sadness and indignation in his eyes.

"They are really poor. When the Daxing Dynasty was first established, it was very prosperous. Countries came to the dynasty and the people lived a prosperous life. But later, the families of the various families became stronger and stronger, and they changed their tricks to plunder the people's wealth and oppress the people. Their power is intertwined. , the imperial court can’t do anything to them.”

Yan Ruoli understood that these people were poor not only because of low productivity in ancient times, but also because aristocratic families monopolized most of the wealth in society.

“How can a country be strong if its people don’t have enough to eat and clothing to keep them warm?”

"So now the Daxing Dynasty has declined. Not only do neighboring countries no longer come to worship, but they are also eyeing it, and the borders are often invaded. But those aristocratic families don't care. As long as they can maintain a luxurious life, the country is none of their business. "

"If the country no longer exists, won't they become slaves of the country's subjugation?"

"They can surrender to the new court, and they will always be needed for the governance of the country."

Ye Weiyun's tone was sarcastic.

Yan Ruoli didn't know much about the social classes in this world before. The book she read was a cool novel, which mainly talked about how the male protagonist conquered the world step by step.

His biggest obstacle was Ye Weiyun. After defeating Ye Weiyun, he quickly cleared the remaining small obstacles with lightning speed and successfully climbed to Dabao.

The book ends here, and I don’t know what will happen next, or how the male protagonist will govern the country.

Yan Ruoli suddenly felt that her nominally cheap father was quite capable.

It is not easy for a poor scholar to stand out in a country controlled by aristocratic families and become prime minister.

Maybe it's because he has joined a certain family?

Is he even just the spokesperson of a certain family?

Yan Ruoli thought of the boxes she had harvested in the secret room of Yan Xiu's study, and felt that it was necessary to open them to see what was inside, which might bring her a surprise.

Of course, not now.

I've been busy dealing with various things these days, and I'll wait until I have some free time.

Feeling a little hungry, Yan Ruoli touched her stomach.

Ye Weiyun noticed her movements with sharp eyes and said, "It's getting late, let's go have lunch."

Ye Feiran's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he pointed to a restaurant in front of him and said, "King Shi said that the best restaurant in Anlu Prefecture is Tingwanlou. Isn't that Tingwanlou?"

Cheng Zhilan pressed her hand and said, "The food in Tingwanlou must be very expensive. We can just find a restaurant nearby to eat."

I spent a lot of money on clothes today, so I'd better save some on food if I can.

"Oh fine."

Ye Feiran is very sensible. Knowing that he is in exile now, it is already great to be able to have enough food, clothing, and shopping.

If it weren't for my brother and sister-in-law, they could only wear rags, eat cornbread, and walk on mountain roads all day long.

She didn't dare to expect anything more.

Ye Weiyun's melancholy subsided a little and said with a smile: "Mom, it's rare to go shopping, so don't be too content. Let's go to the evening building. You don't have to worry about the money, it's enough."

"But, when we go to Nanzhou, there must be a lot of money to spend, so just save what you can." Cheng Zhilan persuaded.

Ye Weiyun couldn't tell her the truth, so he could only say vaguely: "Mom, Ruoli and I have thought about it. We won't lack anything when we get to Nanzhou."

"OK then."

Cheng Zhilan didn't know how much money Chu Shaoyun gave as a gift, thinking that no matter how much money he gave, no matter how much he gave, it was still limited and could not be wasted.

But the family has been together these days, and no matter how dull she is, she can still more or less feel that these two people seem to be hiding something from her.

Perhaps they have another source of money?

Cheng Zhilan trusted her son and trusted Yan Ruoli more and more, so she no longer objected and followed the suggestion.

She only reminded her: "Wei Yun, no matter what you do, safety comes first. As a family, even if life is difficult, as long as everyone is safe."

Ye Weiyun knew that she was worried about him. Seeing that the atmosphere was too heavy, he deliberately joked: "Mom, where did you think you were? Do you think I went to rob the house? Don't worry, there is absolutely no danger."

"That's good."

Cheng Zhilan saw that he looked relaxed, so she thought it was really okay and felt relieved.

Arriving not far from Tingwan Tower, curses suddenly came from the front.

"I've rebelled against you. How dare you hit my carriage? I'll pay for it with your daughter. If you don't pay, it won't end today."

Yan Ruoli looked in the direction where the scolding came from and saw a man with a sinister face holding a whip and pointing arrogantly at a father and daughter huddled on the ground.

The girl was only five or six years old. Her father held her in his arms with her back to this side.I couldn't see his face clearly, I could only see his thin back and patched clothes.

A father and daughter from a poor family.

"What happened?" Yan Ruoli asked the people next to her.

The man sighed and said: "The father and daughter were walking on the roadside just now, and the carriage came from the opposite direction. It was running very fast and almost hit the girl. The father was afraid of hitting his daughter, so he rushed over to pull the horse and let the carriage go. Stopped. No, the carriage owner is angry. Oh, what an unforeseen disaster, the girl will definitely be snatched away."

The father, who was curled up on the ground, begged.

The man holding the whip was unmoved at all. He shouted, and several of his men rushed forward like wolves and tigers to snatch the girl.
