My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

In the former Qin Prince's Mansion, all expenses such as food, clothing, etc. were paid for by the public. Only dishes ordered in private had to be paid for at one's own expense according to the rules.

The monthly silver distributed to all masters is just pocket money. Nowadays, Yueyin has to be used to bear a large proportion of clothing expenses in the field expenses, and no one except Pei is willing to do so.

Mrs. Lin was the first to complain: "Sister-in-law, the monthly silver of our fourth bedroom is not enough to buy clothes."

Today's ordinary cotton cloth costs about five taels of silver per piece, and a pair of ordinary shoes costs about two taels of silver. Including the craftsmanship fee, buying a change of clothes will cost no less than one tael of silver.

And when it comes to autumn rain or cold, you need to prepare thicker clothes. What Lin said is true.

But Pei said lightly: "Then just pull the cloth back and make it yourself."

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Lin looked to Su Yunwan for help.

As a native of Su Yunwan, he knows very well that the clothing of a large family is paid for by the public. Besides, the fourth room had to hand over 200 taels of silver, so there was no reason why it would be difficult to even wear warm clothes to cover up one's shame.

"I'm going to ask Ziyuan." Su Yunwan walked out, but was stopped by Qin's mother.

"Brother Yi, don't let Brother Yi worry about such trivial matters." Mother Qin finished speaking and condemned Pei, "It's only been a few days since you ransacked your home and been exiled, and you can't even tell the difference between public and private?"

Mrs. Pei immediately explained politely: "Mom, now the money is spent every penny, and the penny is less. My daughter-in-law also wants to use the father's money for a longer period of time, so as not to worry Brother Yi."

Qin's mother accepted her consideration and softened her tone: "No matter what, clothes are still indispensable. Let's buy a pair of cotton and linen clothes for everyone. If you want to buy more or wear them well, you can pay for them."

"Yes." Mrs. Pei agreed, but was unwilling to add any more money, so she just spent the 300 taels she had just given.

Qin's mother used her own money to ask Su Yunwan to buy silk and brocade clothes for her. Even if the building collapsed, she still paid attention to the quality of the clothes.

Su Yunwan said simply: "You have to measure your clothes to know whether they fit you. First, ask a tailor to measure your size. Or you can ask Zhong Wei to let you go and let you go to the clothing store to pick your own."

Qin Ruolan said immediately: "I'm going to the clothing store to pick out what I like."

The others responded with a smile, wanting to go out and pick it out themselves.

So Su Yunwan went to find Zhong Wei, but Zhong Wei was not at the inn. He went to the Yamen to report in and go through the formalities.

After a while of burning incense, Zhong Wei walked in from the door of the inn, just as the store owner had finished tallying up the prisoners' purchase list.

He picked up the paper, read it, and ordered a few official servants to go out with a few shop assistants to buy supplies.

If it is already closed, we will replenish it tomorrow morning.

Qin Junxian went downstairs and mentioned to Zhong Wei that his family was going to a ready-made clothing store. Zhong Wei was wary and refused to agree, but gave him a feasible suggestion: give the waiter a small tip and ask him to find a tailor from the ready-made clothing store to come to him and take the measurements. Bring a ruler and garment samples so you can both measure and select.

This is not counting his lenient treatment to the Qin family. The inn already has a purchasing service.

Speaking of which, they didn't stay at a post station outside the city, but came into the city and stayed at this inn. There was a reason.

Exile punishments were not uncommon in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and official-business cooperation gradually formed.

During the exile, the leader only needed to take the escort documents to the yamen and report them. As for where to stay, the local yamen did not care. Anyway, the post station was there, so you could stay if you wanted. If you didn't, it would save trouble.

The escorts take the team to stay at the inn, which is free like the inn, but also enjoys better treatment, and can also get kickbacks from the prisoners' consumption, so why not do it.

The store owners can profit from improving the accommodation and food of a large number of prisoners, and have also developed purchasing services. As long as the money is available, their services can also be provided.

Qin's mother adopted Zhong Wei's advice and called a waiter to look for the person.

Su Yunwan carried the medicine basket and went downstairs with Qin Junyu.

Zhong Wei had already promised the Qin family to let the two of them purchase medicine independently, but he still had to do the superficial work. When he learned that Su Yunwan was going to sell medicine, he asked Wu Shaohan, who had collected medicine together yesterday, to accompany him and let him know the purchase price of medicine.

If the price is okay, he can also organize his subordinates to collect medicines along the way and sell them for money. Jiezai traveled thousands of miles back and forth just to make money. As long as he could generate income, he didn't force himself at all.

This move will harm the interests of the Qin family, but it is not serious. This long journey through mountains and rivers, the Qin family's strength cannot sweep the entire mountain.

However, Zhong Wei still kept his words in plain sight. After all, it was Su Yunwan who taught them about medicinal materials.

Su Yunwan naturally didn't mind, "Wild mountain herbs are ownerless things and can be harvested by everyone."

After bidding farewell to Zhong Wei, Qin Junyu went to drive the donkey cart, while Su Yunwan and Wu Shaohan went to wait outside the courtyard gate.

Su Yunwan noticed that Wu Shaohan had restrained his steps and stayed half a step behind her. She turned around and asked, "Is the injury on your hand healed?"

Zuo Shaohan moved his fingers slightly and looked forward, "There is no serious problem."

"If there is a next time, I can avoid it."

Zuo Shaohan said "hmm" with an expression that said he was distant from others.

Su Yunwan stopped talking. As soon as they walked out of the door, they saw brothers Chu Yi and Chu Yan chasing after them. Apparently, they asked Zhong Wei for permission and went to buy supplies.

As luck would have it, their escort was none other than Jiang Xiaoliu.

Chu Yi smiled and said: "We want to visit the horse market, together?"

Su Yunwan nodded: "Okay."

At this time, Qin Junyu arrived in a car, and Su Yunwan invited everyone to get in the car.

Chu Yi glanced at the scooter and shook his head with a smile: "It's too crowded for five people. We can just walk."

Chu Yan immediately nodded: "Indeed."

Jiang Xiaoliu was not worried at all about the two Chu brothers escaping midway and jumped on the donkey cart: "Then you walk slowly and I'll take a ride."

After saying that, he asked Wu Shaohan to get in the car.

Wu Shaohan shook his head to show that he was walking, but Jiang Xiaoliu said: "Brother Wu, this is what's wrong with you. Madam, you are so arrogant. You are so coquettish that you look like a girl."

Wu Shaohan had a dark face when he heard this, glanced at him coldly, and took the lead to walk.

The Chu brothers followed, and the donkey cart set off slowly.

When Jiang Xiaoliu saw that Wu Shaohan was really angry, he kept handing over his hands and begging for mercy, just like a living treasure.

Su Yunwan smiled broadly and watched with gusto.

Jiang Xiaoliu didn't give up until Wu Shaohan couldn't laugh or cry and his expression calmed down.

Su Yunwan looked at the afterglow on the horizon and sighed: "I wonder if the horse market has closed."

"Let's go take a look first, and then buy food." Chu Yi walked beside the carriage and laughed at himself, "I have been treated like a fat sheep by Jie Chai these days and slaughtered. Alas..."

After speaking, he looked at Wu Shaohan and Jiang Xiaoliu, "It's a sin to make a slip of the tongue."

Su Yunwan let out a "cheep" sound and smiled as brightly as she could.

Jiang Xiaoliu puffed up his face and said unconvinced: "There are rules in the industry. Leaving one's hometown to live in the open is just for money. No one can shake this trend. If you want to complain, just blame yourself for not letting people buy everything before leaving Beijing. "

Chu Yan solemnly held up his hands and begged for mercy: "Yes, yes, sir, next time we will be properly prepared and we won't use the official stuff anymore."

"Why don't these words sound right?" Jiang Xiaoliu touched his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"Hahaha..." Su Yunwan burst into laughter, and others couldn't help but laugh.

The group of people just made jokes and rushed to the horse market in the direction they had inquired about.
