The members of the Jia family were driven out of the mansion almost naked by Prince Zhongshun, and they stood on the street, not knowing where to go.Because all the hairpins on their heads and accessories on their bodies were taken off by the soldiers in a rude manner, this group of people wore silk and satin but their hair was disheveled. They stood on the street, and countless passers-by stood on the sidelines from a distance, pointing and discussing in private. .

"We can't just stand on the street like this all the time, let's find a place to settle down first." Mother Jia felt ashamed when she saw the crowd standing on the road facing the crowd of passers-by, she covered her face in a daze, and sighed In a breath, arrangements were made.

When Mrs. Xing heard this, she thought of the arrangements her family had made in advance, and said, "Old lady, we..." Luochun stood beside her, and when she heard Mrs. Xing open her mouth, she guessed what she meant, and hurriedly pulled her from underneath. Pulled her sleeves.What a joke, even if you have prepared in advance, you can't say it right now.At this time, even though the people in the house have nowhere to go, but when the whole group is full of anger and anger, Mrs. Xing speaks out of her arrangement, and hits the muzzle of the gun. It turned out that she had not expected a good crime in the mansion for a long time.

Being pulled by Luochun like this, Mrs. Xing looked at Luochun in surprise, she didn't know why, seeing Luochun slightly shook her head slightly imperceptibly, indicating that she could not tell her the prior arrangement, although she didn't know Why, but Mrs. Xing still listened to Luochun's advice, and forcibly changed the words in her mouth to: "...we, then we...where are we going to settle down?"

Mother Jia ignored Mrs. Xing's nonsense, looked at her two sons, and saw that Jia Amnesty hid in the back and pretended to be a quail and landed on Jia Zheng. Looking at Jia Lian, he said, "Lian'er, take us to find an inn to stay in first, and then we can discuss what to do afterwards."

Jia Lian spread his arms and said, "It's okay to stay in a hotel, but do we still have money?" Without money, it's useless to say anything.Except for the clothes on his body, all the things on his body were taken off by the soldiers, but the summer clothes, even if they were made of silk and satin, were worthless, and they would not accept them when they were sent to the pawnshop.Others are in the same situation as him. For such a large group of people, the expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation must be prepared. Otherwise, after staying in the inn, he will be kicked out because he has no money to pay the room fee. He can't afford to lose this person, so Jia Lian said something to the front.

Jia Lian's question caused a moment of silence, and Mother Jia glanced over everyone one by one, and asked, "It's about this time, don't hide anything from the old woman anymore, hurry up if you have anything valuable. Get it out, or we'll all end up on the streets."

No one spoke, no one moved, and the atmosphere was stagnant.Xichun looked left and right, stood up, stretched out her tightly clenched right hand, clutched a pouch profusely in sweat, and said, "I only have this." Two "pen ingot ruyi" golden scorpions were produced, each half a liang of scorpion, which was sold in the mansion for everyone to play with during the New Year's Eve.

With the golden scorpion donated by Xichun, a group of people headed for the inn in a mighty way.Even though they were all in a state of desperation, everyone still picked and picked, and finally booked a small yard in a medium-sized inn.Seeing Madam Wang and the others' disdainful faces, Luochun felt contemptuous in her heart, and entered the room assigned to them with Madam Xing.

After entering the room, Luochun helped Mrs. Xing sit down on the bed, looked at Mrs. Xing's injured arm, and the blood stains on the bandage handkerchief, and asked with concern: "Mother, how is your injury? Do you want to call a doctor?" Come and have a look?" Mrs. Xing smiled at her, shook her head and said, "It's okay, don't bother, it's just a skin trauma, and the wound has begun to heal."

Luo Chun saw Mrs. Xing's insistence, so she didn't force her, and said: "If there is anything wrong, mother can tell me, don't worry about money, we have money." As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her tight clothes. Mrs. Xing helped take off the dragon and phoenix gold bracelets that were tightly strapped to her arms.Holding four heavy gold bracelets in her hands, they were bright yellow and shining brightly. Mrs. Xing reached out and tapped Luochun's forehead, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "You are clever." Then she picked one up and sighed deeply. Said: "This thing, each weighs four or two or eight dollars. There is a particular thing about it, what is called flat and stable. The rules in our hometown, every newlywed, as long as the family can afford it when they get married, at least buy I put on such a pair, because I was married to the Duke’s mansion, so I made three pairs, which means "Dog Liu Liu Da Shun". But since I got married in the mansion, I wore a pair when I served tea on the first day. , I was a joke, and I never took it with me again, and I melted a pair and beat a few hairpins, and the rest were used to press the bottom of the box, I didn’t expect that there would be a time when they would see the sun again.”

After Luochun heard this, he picked up one casually, and said with a smile: "Since this thing is so meaningful, let's keep it, I have other things here." Then he took out another gold inlaid jade from his body. Painted pocket watches come.Madam Xing saw the pocket watch, put down the bracelet in her hand, and said with a smile, "It's just a stupid thing made of gold. You can weigh a few ounces of gold and it can be struck out as it is. What's the point, what's there to keep?" Pointing The pocket watch said: "This thing is very expensive, it is not common in the market, and even if it is available, it is not as exquisite as the one from our house. It is the most accurate to use this to tell the time. You are not very good at counting the time. Use this just right , let’s keep it.”

"It's okay, I have another one here." Luochun took out another enamel pearl pocket watch from his bosom to show Mrs. Xing.Mrs. Xing shook her head with a smile, and said with crooked eyes, "You little devil, but you know how to hide things." Thinking of the dowry and business that she transferred to her natal family, she said: "There are houses and land in the countryside, and there are more people who are willing to hide things." These few bracelets are enough. Let’s keep this one too, after it’s sold, if we want to buy it again, it’s not easy to buy it in our current status.”

Luo Chun nodded, looked at the time on the pocket watch in his hand, and said: "It's already this hour, and it's already past lunch time, mother, are you hungry? There is no movement from the old lady, and I don't know what It's time to eat, mother, you have a bad stomach, why don't I order something for you first?" Mrs. Xing held Luochun's hand, looked at the time, and said in surprise: "Yes, I didn't expect it to happen like this No wonder I feel my stomach is empty." Mrs. Xing hesitated for a while before ordering something to eat, and said to Luochun: "Go to the old lady's side and see what's going on there. "

"Well, then I'm going out." Luo Chun agreed and went out.
