[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Chapter 294: Staying at the Inn and Counting the Possessions

Rong Enqing and his group walked away, and Xiu Zhang, Nanshan and others retreated back to Tingfeng Courtyard.

The black-faced guard who had been embroidered on his arm looked at Liu Xin in confusion.

"Eunuch Liu, why are you so polite to that old woman? She is no longer the wife of the Marquis' Mansion!"

Liu Xin glanced at him and said, "She is indeed nothing now. But she is not someone you and I can bully."

Rong Enqing was favored by the Empress Dowager and had received a token to enter the palace.

Princess Yue'er, who was beside the Queen Mother, had always been thinking about her sister Yun Ai.

What's more, Rong Enqing is on good terms with the Princess of Anyang County.

No, now she should be called Princess Anyang. Before he left the palace, Princess Anyang was named Princess Anyang by the emperor.

When Princess Anyang was the county lord, she was feared by everyone, except for Rong Enqing, whom she was particularly close to.

Now that she has become a princess and has the protection of the emperor, if she were to look for trouble and fall into her hands for the sake of Rong Enqing...tsk tsk, the outcome is unpredictable.

Seeing the guard's indifferent expression, Liu Xin did not remind him again. People are courting death, and others cannot stop them.

Here, when Rong Enqing brought Yun Luo and the other two to the gate, Yun Ye and Zhang were already waiting there.

Looking at Yun Ye and Zhang's equally empty hands, Rong Enqing could only sigh helplessly.

"Grandma, are you all right?"

Yun Ye came forward and stretched out his hand to take Yun Ai from Rong Enqing's arms, "Grandma, let me hold my third sister. You are sweating all over your head. You must be tired."

"I can walk by myself." Yun Ai reached out and wiped the sweat off Rong Enqing's forehead, then struggled to get down.

"I can still carry you. We need to leave the mansion quickly and find a place to stay. You're walking too slowly."

Just then, Zhang came forward and reached out to hug Yun Ai.

"Mother, please give Yun Ai to me. I will hold her."

Rong Enqing was stunned for a moment, then handed the person over.

"Let's go, let's find a place to stay first."

As he said this, he took Yunying's hand and walked quickly towards the entrance of the alley.

Yunying held Rong Enqing's hand tightly, and asked in a low voice with a look of panic on her face: "Grandma, where are we going?"

Rong Enqing was in a complicated mood. Before she could say anything, Yun Luo had already comforted her: "Don't be afraid, second sister, grandma is here. We just need to follow grandma."

"Okay." Yunying agreed obediently.

"Grandma, are we going to the inn?" Yun Ye also asked, "Do we have money to stay in the inn? When we left, all the things we had with us were confiscated by the guards."

Zhang, who was standing by, said softly, "I still have a silver hairpin on my head. If it doesn't work, I can pawn it for silver."

Rong Enqing turned to look at Yun Ye and his mother in astonishment, "You didn't bring anything with you?"

"No." Yun Ye shook his head. When he left, his bag, the jade pendant around his waist, and the jade crown on his head were all taken away.

Zhang also shook her head. If it weren't for the silver hairpin that fixed her hair, she would have lost even the silver hairpin.

Rong Enqing looked at the mother and son who seemed to be clean from head to toe, then looked at the neatly arranged little things on Yun Luo's head, neck, and hands, and then thought about the treasures all over his body, and suddenly felt lucky.

If Liu Xin hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to bring so many things.

The group walked out of the alley where Shun'an Marquis' Mansion was located, hired a carriage on the street, and headed straight for West City.

After arriving in West City, the group found an inn and asked for three guest rooms.

Rong Enqing took Yun Ai, Yun Luo and Yun Ying to one room. Zhang Shi lived in one room and Yun Ye lived in another room.

"Everyone come to my room first."

Rong Enqing called out, and Yun Ye and his mother followed him to Rong Enqing's room.

"Take out all the valuables you have on you. Let me see how much money we have now."

As she spoke, she began to take off the jewelry on her head.

Yunluo and the other children followed suit, helping each other take off the pearl flowers on their heads, the jade pendants and gold necklaces on their necks, the gold bracelets, silver bracelets, and pearl bracelets on their wrists. They took everything that could be sold, even the small silver earrings.

Yun Ye's eyes widened when he saw the jewelry that his sisters had taken off their bodies piled up into a small mountain.

Then he looked at himself and his mother, and could only barely take out a silver hairpin weighing two taels. He was immediately overwhelmed with shame.

At this moment, Rong Enqing, who had just taken off her hair accessories, reached out and rolled up her left sleeve, revealing seven or eight bracelets on her left wrist.

"Wow! Grandma, you are amazing! How can you wear so many bracelets on your wrists?"

Yunying opened her mouth in surprise.

"Grandma is so awesome!" Yun Ai also clapped and cheered.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Yun Luo quickly reminded his two sisters.

Yunying and Yunai quickly covered their mouths with their hands, but they couldn't suppress the surprise in their eyes.

Rong Enqing quickly took off the four jade bracelets and four gold chains on his left hand.

He exposed his right hand again.

There are also four jade bracelets with excellent water content and different sized circumferences, and four pure gold bracelets.

Just when Yun Ye was stunned with shock, he saw Rong Enqing roughly pulling the collar of his clothes, revealing half of his neck.

Just as I was wondering, I saw Rong Enqing start to take off a jade pendant on the left and a gold pendant on the right.

By the time Rong Enqing took off the thing hanging around his neck, Yun Ye had no idea what to say.

Forty-three!

My grandmother actually wore forty-three pendants around her neck.

A valuable jade pendant is worth thousands of taels, and a cheap gold pendant weighs several taels, which would be worth dozens of taels if converted into silver.

Zhang was also dumbfounded as she watched Rong Enqing take off a bunch of valuable items from his body. She was completely dumbfounded.

After Rong Enqing took off the things around his neck, he reached out and pressed his chest, where there was still a thick stack of silver bills.

After thinking about it, she finally didn't take it out. Some of the banknotes were originally intended for Yunying as a dowry, some were compensation sent by the second house to Yunluo, and the rest were her savings over the years. All in all, it was more than 100,000 taels.

A very large sum of money!

However, in the future, you will need money to buy a house, purchase land, and pay for living expenses.

The most important thing is that we don’t know how much it will cost to redeem Xiu Zhang, Nan Shan and a dozen others.

And the servants who had surrendered to her and Yun Ye couldn't be ignored. There were about 40 to 50 of them!

Even if they were sent into exile, they had to spend money to make arrangements. Of course, they couldn't be allowed to go on the journey without any money.

All of this costs money!

Thinking of this, Rong Enqing withdrew his hand.

"Sort everything into categories and roughly calculate the prices."

Rong Enqing didn't quite understand the value of these things, so he could only leave the statistical work to Zhang.

Zhang was feeling ashamed that she and her son came back empty-handed, and when she heard Rong Enqing's order, she naturally did not refuse and quickly began to pick through the pile of things on the table.
