Chapter 15
Liang felt that the old man's sons and grandchildren belonged to her own family, and her granddaughter was just a girl, and she didn't need it at all.
Her daughter-in-law Zhang and Liang didn't take this person seriously at all.
Song Mengjiao watched her grandmother bring over several coir raincoats and bamboo hats, but none of them were given to her. She felt a little uncomfortable. She obviously gave the official some money so that the whole family could wear them, and the money was not enough.
But she saw a thick wad of banknotes in her grandmother's arms!
She thought that driving away Song Shangshang's family would make them feel better!
Unexpectedly, it was father and elder brother who were better off, not her and mother.
But Song Mengjiao didn't dare to say anything, she glanced at the carriage behind her, and heard that the seventeenth prince was sitting in it, His Royal Highness King Jin, if the people here were taken by him as servants, wouldn't it be No need to be exiled.
"Damn girl, what are you looking at, go away." Liang turned around and shouted loudly.
Song Mengjiao stared fiercely at Liang's back. She felt that as long as her grandmother was around, her life with her mother would not be easy. It would be great if her grandmother died on the way to exile.
With her mother in charge, her life will definitely be easier.
"Isn't it raining now? Look, the sun has come out."
Near noon, the rain had not yet fallen, and the sky was clear, and the people in the team began to talk.
"I don't know! It should be too much. This coir raincoat was changed for nothing, but it cost me several taels of silver!"
"Can you spend as much as I do? I spent 50 taels of silver!" A tall man in brocade clothes said.
He just changed a few sets of coir raincoats and bamboo hats, which would cost ten cents a set for the usual ones, but now he bought them for 50 taels of silver.
But there is nothing else to do. The smallest denomination of money on his body is 50 taels. He can't negotiate the price with the official and ask them to change the money!
In the current situation, they are fish and meat and Daozu, and the problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Besides, how can it be so easy to pick out the money that has gone into the pockets of the officials, so don't lose your life if you don't get the money in the end.
All he wanted was for his family to reach Fusang City safely.
Spend some money, just spend some money, nothing that can be solved with money is not a problem.
"Hey! How can I compare with you, Brother Chengyi!" The man said and moved closer and said, "You brought a lot!"
Song Chengyi waved his hand, "I didn't bring much, that's it! It would be nice to support our family to Fusang. Before we could hide, the officials came to arrest us."
"Oh! That's it! It's a pity." The man nodded, but he didn't really believe the other party's words. Song Chengyi had been doing business with his brother-in-law before, and he must have made a lot of money!
How could it be possible to bring a little!
Their family's wealth is the highest in the capital, and they are even more than theirs.
In addition, his father is also the patriarch, so the relationship between their family and Shangshu Songzhao is very close.
If this businessman had an official as his backer, no one in the business field would dare to trip him up.
Song Chengyi said helplessly, "Yes! Now it's all handed over to the imperial court."
Their family brought quite a lot. He had 5000 taels in his pocket, his parents had a few thousand taels, and his daughter-in-law had a few thousand taels, but this money only accounted for one percent of his total property!
Song Chengyi's heart ached when he thought of this, so much was handed over to the court.
That is the property he has earned in business for more than ten years.
For nothing!
It didn't rain until the last day it cleared up. Song Changshang was so hot that he took off his coir raincoat and put it in the basket.
They didn't keep walking at noon like the previous two days, but let them rest, and gave each of them a black-faced steamed bun.
I'm not sure about the tempers of those officials, could it be that they were trying to give power to these prisoners a few days ago?Obedient on the road?
"It's sunny today, and the officials are also happy." Song Zhao, the old man of Shangshu, said something abruptly.
Song Changshang wanted to say that she would be happy if she was an official servant. Just this morning, the prisoners and the official servants exchanged so many coir raincoats and bamboo hats, and the official servants didn't know how much money they made.
The cost of these things is frighteningly low, and the price of selling them is frighteningly high.
Buy it now.
But if you buy it, you can buy it. If you don’t use it today, you will have to use it later.
