Yu Huanchun saw that Yu Huanming remained silent for a long time.

She sighed and began to explain to him why she had to leave the city.

"Ah Ming, father is in poor health now. We are the only ones supporting the Yu family! I dare not let you and father stay in Dajing. If something happens to you and father, how will I live?"

As Yu Huanchun spoke, a layer of mist appeared in his eyes.

Although the Yu family has been operating in the imperial city for many years, they must give up some things if they want to escape.

She always puts the safety of her father and brother first.

As for money, it would be enough for them to spend for several lifetimes even if they stopped doing business.

She wanted her brother to study hard and pass the imperial examination in the future...

Among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are ranked last.

She has been working hard to support the Yu family over the years and has been making money desperately, just to give her brother a smoother and more stable life.

Yu Huanming's eyes also turned slightly red and he sniffed.

"Sister, where are we going? I will listen to you..."

Yu Huanchun stood up from the beauty couch and walked to the window.

"Let's set off for Beixiao!"

Her voice was full of determination. She turned to look at Yu Huanming and repeated, "Aming, let's go to Beixiao!"

Yu Huanming walked quickly to Yu Huanchun's side and said in surprise: "Sister, are you kidding me? Beixiao? We have to pass through Xiqi and Tianyang to go to Beixiao! This road is not peaceful at all. I heard that Tianyang and Xiqi had a fight..."

Is sister confused?

Yu Huanchun looked out the window and said vaguely, "Ah Ming, the manager who went to Beixiao once told me that Beixiao is no longer the same as before. Now many businessmen have settled in Beixiao... Sister also wants to see it with her own eyes..."

What's more, I heard that if you have settled in Beixiao for three years, you can apply to become a citizen of Beixiao.

Not only can they make appointments with the imperial physicians to diagnose their pulses every month, but men can also take the imperial examinations to become officials...

My father has been bedridden for a long time, always suffering from dizziness and headaches. He has seen many doctors but they have only been able to treat the symptoms and not the root cause.

She wanted to take her father and brother to visit Beixiao.

If possible, she could reopen the shop.

Yu Huanming's lips moved slightly but no sound came out.

What his sister said was all for his and his father's sake.

What about sister herself?

My sister is already 20 years old this year. It is the best age, but she is worrying like an old lady...

Why don’t you be more selfish?

Should I become more stable?

He is the son of the Yu family, but he has not grown up to be a support for his sister, and he has not visited his father every day to greet him...

Every day he just relies on his status as the young master of the Yu family to tease cats and dogs with a group of bad friends...

A hint of determination flashed across Yu Huanming's eyes. He had to use his brain now! !

"Sister, since we are going to Beixiao, we should sell the shop as soon as possible! I will take people to queue up to buy some masks tomorrow..."

There was a flash of surprise in Yu Huanchun's eyes. Why did he feel like his younger brother had suddenly grown up?

"Okay! Sister, hurry up and don't buy too much, or it might attract other people's attention!"

Yu Huanming nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister. I know!"

...

At daybreak the next day, Yu Huanming took his personal servant Agui and rushed to Wang Baben's shop.

When they arrived, the shop was not open yet and they were the only two people in line.

Ah Gui yawned and complained, "Master, why are we here so early? The shop won't open for a long time. Why don't I wait in line here while you go back and rest for a while?"

Yu Huanming glanced at him impatiently, and Agui shut up with an embarrassed expression.

He will buy all the masks in this shop today! Letting my sister and father change one a day may not be enough...

Just as he was thinking this, the door in front of him was opened from the inside.

Erlangzi came out yawning.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the two people in line, muttering in dissatisfaction: "Can't we sleep? Who is a good person who comes to buy things before dawn? You said you would queue up, so just queue up, why do you have to stand at the door and make noises..."

Erlangzi stayed up most of the night sewing masks. Not long after he fell asleep, he heard someone talking outside the door.

He also tried to cover his head with the quilt to block out the sounds that disturbed his sleep.

But it was of no use; the murmuring sounds still reached his ears through the quilt.

Before Yu Huanming could say anything, Agui walked up to Erlangzi with his chest puffed out and his head raised, looking dissatisfied.

"We are here to buy masks! Take out all the masks in your store, our young master will buy them!"

Relying on his height being taller than Erlangzi, he tried to push Erlangzi aside and into the shop.

Erlangzi was already a little grumpy after waking up, and when he heard him speak so rudely, he staggered.

The stubbornness in his body suddenly came up and he reached out and pushed Agui.

"You said you want to buy it? I'm telling you, we won't sell you this mask! Go wherever you want..."

Agui was caught off guard and was pushed to the side by Erlangzi, causing him to stagger to the side.

He is the young master's personal servant. Even the young masters who are on good terms with the young master will give him some face when they see him!

But today I was pushed by a shop clerk!

How could he swallow this?

Thinking this in his mind, Agui raised his fist and hit Erlangzi's eyes.

He wanted to blind this untouchable who was blind to the truth!

Yu Huanming behind him immediately changed his expression when he saw this, and shouted sternly: "Agui, stop it!"

But Agui was angry at the moment, so how could he listen to his scolding?

Ah Gui's eyes were filled with anger, and he said without even turning his head: "This lowly person is too presumptuous. Today I will teach him a lesson on behalf of the young master!"

As he spoke, his fist had already hit the fool's eyes hard.

Erlangzi only felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and then a sharp pain came from his right eye.

He staggered back a step, then covered his eyes with one hand and slowly reached for his waist with the other.

But before he could pull out the gun, someone grabbed his arm.

Erlangzi turned his head suddenly, but didn't know when Wang Baben was standing behind him.

He was looking at himself with disapproval on his face.

When Agui saw Wang Ba running out, he felt even more confident.

He took out a copper coin from his waist and threw it at the feet of the fool.

With obvious disdain in his eyes, he sneered, "Here is the consultation fee!"

Agui was certain that Wang Baben would not stand up for a fellow servant.

Even if this shopkeeper is ungrateful and insists on standing up for this lowly person, I am not afraid!

He also has the Yu family as his backing. Anyway, the young master lacks brains, and once he is fooled, he will rush forward like a mad dog!

The coin fell at Erlangzi's feet, and he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
