Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 370 A Woman's Mind

"What? Has your Baoguo Palace also fallen to this state?"

Liu Ru was shocked.

"Sister, you are still staying in the courtyard, I don't know very well!"

Kou Baimen sighed, and said: "There are people coming and going in the nunnery, and many female family members who came to pray for worship, they all said that the money this time is used to finance the Northern Expedition."

"That's why I gave my husband the opportunity to wait. It's called the Atonement Roll."

"Those 30,000 taels are not too much for the Baoguo Duke's Mansion, which has been hereditary for a hundred years!"

Liu Rushi became more and more curious.

"Thirty thousand? Sister, that's Qian Shangshu's family property."

Kou Baimen smiled wryly: "For example, the Duke's Mansion asked for 100,000 taels of silver, which is almost [-]% to [-]% of the family's property. Now, whether it is the land price or other things, it has jumped sharply, and it is sold at a low price..."

"The old lady in the family wanted to sell me to raise money, so I simply raised a thousand taels of my own money to redeem myself."

"Redemption?"

Liu Rushi was startled, and immediately sighed, "Are you free?"

"Free!" Kou Baimen's eyes were red.

A word of freedom sounds beautiful, but in fact it is worthless. Without the protection of big trees, it is difficult to guarantee future life.

"What's so bad about citizenship?"

Bian Yujing shook his head, with a determined face: "Now His Majesty's new policy, all lowly people are citizens, and we can be regarded as a good family. Who would dare to bully us casually in the future?"

Li Xiangjun on the side showed a wry smile.

She didn't know what to say about this friend, naive, straightforward, or stupid?

Liu Rushi sighed and remained silent for a long time before saying, "I can't take these money."

"Although the Qian family is down and out, there are three nails in the broken ship, and you sisters will need them even more in the future."

No matter how lively Bian Yujing's personality is, he can't help but feel a little lonely.

The girls whispered a few more words before leaving quietly.

"The huge Qian family, extravagant and unrestrained, has only been reduced to this result in just a few years, time and fate."

Bian Yujing sighed.

"Why, when did you, Bian Yujing, feel sad for autumn?" Kou Baimen on the side recovered a little, and couldn't help teasing.

"That's right, Bian Yujing is depressed, so there will be no fun in the nunnery."

Li Xiangjun couldn't help smiling.

Immediately, she suddenly thought of something: "Hou Lang has no money in Nanjing, how can he pay the atonement?"

"what happened?"

Kou Baimen on the side noticed her and couldn't help asking.

Li Xiangjun didn't dare to be negligent, and directly talked about his happy thoughts.

"Not to mention 30,000 taels, even if it is 3000 taels, we can't get it together!"

Bian Yujing shook his head, amazed.

Li Xiangjun's face was instantly haggard, and after a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind.

Bian Yujing didn't know what she was thinking, and immediately stopped her: "Sister, this is not acceptable!"

"It's hard to get out of the quagmire, and your next life will really be ruined like this."

Kou Baimen on the side was also stunned, and hurriedly stopped him: "If you go in again, you won't be able to get out."

"Besides, how can you stay with Mr. Hou in the future?"

Li Xiangjun bit her thin lips, shook her head, and said bitterly: "This is the only way to do it now, only in the next life, I will be with Hou Lang again."

Li Xiangjun's mind is to come out again and sell himself.

In the past, she was a prostitute but not an artist. Later, Hou Fangyu groomed her and served only one person. She was considered a decent woman.

But if he came out now, it would be a pure betrayal of the body, the Hou family would definitely not allow him to enter, and Hou Fangyu would feel resentful.

Is it worth it?
Bian Yujing was very confused.

She looked around in a daze, and the pedestrians in front of her seemed to have evil intentions and were thinking about female sex.

Living in this world is hard!
Suddenly, she glanced away and saw a familiar figure:

The man who scolded her for going out without eyes.

Sitting upright, looking out of the window, the courtyards of nearby mansions are clearly visible.

Seeing this, she immediately rushed to her forehead with anger, stared straight at her beautiful eyes, and walked towards him.

In a tall building in the inner city, Zhu Yixi was only three or four feet tall, but it made him quite satisfied.

This position gives him a good view of the inner city.

Xungui's mansion is in a mess, chickens are flying around, people are on their backs, the former nobles are now forced to sell their properties, just to keep their husband and father alive.

And if not?
Being unfaithful as a wife and unfilial as a son is worse than losing money.

The mighty slaves were panic-stricken, as if they had foreseen the predicament in the future, even the barking of the dogs was much quieter, for fear of offending the master.

"This feeling of mastering people's fate is really comfortable."

He was full of emotions, but Qian Qianyi's wife was a nice, familiar wife.

Suddenly, there was a noise in his ears.

"Let me in-"

"Go away, don't blame me for using the knife!"

The guards drew out their knives and threatened.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yixi asked doubtfully as he looked around.

"My lord, there is a woman who has to break in!"

The guard said.

"Let her in!"

Zhu Yixi squinted his eyes and looked familiar, especially a pair of huge, extremely familiar eyes.

"Young master is well!"

As he approached, Bian Yujing became much more stable and said softly.

"What's the matter, girl?" Zhu Yixi asked suspiciously.

"I just feel that I have a destiny with the young master, so I will meet again."

Bian Yujing's tone was playful.

"The girl is straightforward!" Zhu Yixi became interested, and immediately pointed to a few people outside the courtyard downstairs: "Those are your companions, right?"

"Why, do you know someone from the Qian Mansion?"

Although Zhu Yixi's words were calm, Bian Yujing could still feel the contempt in his words.

This is a man of great standing.

"Besides, he's rich!" Bian Yujing couldn't help guessing as he glanced at the land under his feet.

Thinking of this, she suddenly had a sudden impulse and asked, "Do you know about the Atonement Scroll, Young Master?"

You know, I invented it.

"Know a thing or two!" Zhu Yixi said lightly: "This is the emperor's soft heart, leaving a way for these traitors to survive."

"Traitor?" Bian Yujing heard a new word, and became more and more curious about the identity of the man.

"The Atonement roll is extraordinary."

Zhu Yixi said with a little satisfaction: "Each household has different denominations of the indulgence coupons. For example, the Qian Mansion is 30,000 taels of silver, while Wei Guogong's mansion is 200,000 taels..."

"The emperor is going to empty them out!"

Bian Yujing was very surprised, and said with a snicker: "It is estimated that their family wealth has been calculated, and it is tailor-made!"

Zhu Yixi was taken aback, is it so obvious?
Immediately, he laughed and said: "Either you have no life or no money, you have to choose one!"

"Hey!"

Bian Yujing sighed, feeling that this man's status must be unusual, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that my sister will have a big accident because of this."

Zhu Yixi was indeed attracted to the attention, and asked:
"Among these people, there are no women!"
