The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

After Li San finished talking about the snow disaster and Ji'an School, he was already in tears.

Han Qingyun guessed that Li San might be from Luoshi Street.

"Master Han, you just said that I am grateful to King Lin, but at least 80% of the people in Luo City are grateful to King Lin. We are grateful not only for King Lin himself, but also for the sky that he has held up for ordinary people like us."

Li San's words were already somewhat excited.

"During the reign of the late emperor, the administration wasn't necessarily completely clean, but it wasn't completely corrupt. People would lose everything over a vase, get beaten and killed for offending a noble, or be forced to live because their land was seized by the wealthy..."

Li San said this with an unconcealed sarcastic smile.

"The present emperor is good in every way, but the previous emperor's benevolent rule was only for show, not for substance."

"Boss Li, be careful with your words. We've only met once, so don't be too formal."

Han Qingyun quickly stopped Li San from continuing.

Li San didn't care.

"Don't worry, our emperor is committed to replicating the benevolent rule of the previous emperor and will not let someone as insignificant as me be punished for my words."

After a while, Li San's expression returned to calm.

Han Qingyun didn't respond. His mind was in a mess and he had no idea what to do.

Confused, he asked, "Why didn't the Lu family entrust the matter to Mr. Tian?"

"Because the Lu family themselves don't want to."

"Why?"

"Tian Bo is from Luoshi Street. In Luoshi Street, Prince Lin is their great benefactor. The servants of Prince Lin's mansion, especially those like the Lu family, who frequently visit Ji'an Academy and take good care of Luoshi Street, are also highly respected by the people of Luoshi Street.

If the Lu family were to go to Luoshi Street, they would only be worshipped and respected. This is not what the Lu family wants to see. Rather than relying on the favor of their master to be supported by others, they would rather go to the mines.

Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan understood that this was probably the arrogance of the people in Prince Lin's Mansion.

But have you ever considered your two children with such arrogance?

"Since all the people in Prince Lin's Mansion were bought away, why did the Lu family stay here for so long?" Lu Yanyan couldn't help but ask.

"Because apart from the people of Luoshi Street who saw them being captured, no one else knew of their existence. Outsiders believed that the people in Prince Lin's Mansion had been sold out.

I can't publicize it, because I still have people from Prince Lin's palace here. After all, Prince Lin has offended many officials. If these people insist on buying the Lu family and humiliating them, what should I do?

I can only try to find a kind-hearted buyer. If I can't find a suitable candidate, I will definitely not let them be sent to the mine. Even if they don't want to, Roche Street is my last resort."

Han Qingyun nodded, but still said in Li San's expectant eyes: "I understand that Boss Li has good intentions. If I hadn't come from Wuping County, I might..."

Han Qingyun felt bitter in his heart. He stood up and bowed to Li San, saying, "I'm sorry."

The disappointment on Li San's face was obvious.

But this time he did not stop Han Qingyun, and only said: "It is my fault for making things difficult for Master Han. Master, take care."

After coming out of Li Ji Yahang, the three of them all looked solemn.

Beside the carriage, Ma Chao, Liu Yang and others were standing on both sides. When they saw them coming back, they all saluted.

Han Qingyun suppressed his annoyance and said to Lu Liang, "Take them back to the village first. Yanyan and I will take a walk."

Lu Liang disagreed: "Young Master and Madam must be accompanied by someone."

"Let Ma Chao come with us, and let him meet his family."

Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly knelt down and said, "I will protect you and your wife to the death."

Lu Liang had no choice but to take Liu Yang and others back first.

Ma Chao led the way, and after about half an hour, the three of them arrived at Rhodes Lane, Qingliu Street.

Ma Chao was already walking with great speed, eager to return home.

But he had to take into account the steps of Han Qingyun and his wife.

Finally arriving at the door of his home, Ma Chao, with tears in his eyes, knelt at the door and shouted, "Mom, I'm home."

There was a sound of running and the gate was opened.

A girl of about sixteen or seventeen poked her head out, saw Ma Chao, and cried, "Brother."

The girl should have been a very beautiful girl, but there was a large burn scar on the right half of her face, which made her look a little hideous.

Ma Chao looked at the girl and couldn't stop crying.

"Xiao Lei, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Your face..."

But the girl didn't care.

"If it weren't for this face that attracted that bastard Liang Shao, our family wouldn't have ended up like this today. Let it be ruined."

"Chao'er."

Behind the girl, a woman in her forties walked out. Her left eye was wrapped in gauze, and blood and tears were oozing out of the gauze because of crying.

"Mom, the child is unfilial."

Ma Chao knelt down before the woman, who hugged him and cried bitterly.

"Sir, Madam, you are the kindhearted person who bought my brother, right? Come in and rest."

As the girl spoke, she supported Lu Yanyan and walked into the yard.

Ma Chao and the woman also came to their senses and led Han Qingyun into the yard.

Ma Chao's house was not big. There were a lot of clothes piled up in the yard, and some clothes were soaking in a large wooden basin.

There are only three bedrooms, a main room and a kitchen in the yard.

The rooms are not big, but very clean. The tables and chairs are worn, but there is no dust at all.

After Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan sat down, the girl named Xiaolei rinsed two coarse pottery bowls again and again, poured two bowls of water and brought them over.

"There is no tea at home, so I can only ask you and your wife to drink some water."

"It doesn't matter."

Ma Chao's mother wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Han Qingyun.

"Today we are just letting your family meet. Ma Chao will go back with us in the afternoon."

Ma Chao's mother nodded quickly.

"I know, I know. Don't worry, Chao'er is a good boy. He will definitely serve you well, Master and Madam."

Lu Yanyan looked at the blood on the gauze of Ma Chao's mother's left eye and asked, "Auntie Ma, how do you and Xiaolei make a living?"

"I wash clothes for other people and earn ten copper coins a day. Xiaolei is good at embroidery and can even embroider some handkerchiefs to sell."

When Ma Chao heard this, his face darkened, but he didn't say anything.

"We bought Ma Chao and he will receive a monthly salary of one or two taels of silver. When he gets the monthly salary in the future, you and Xiaolei won't have to work so hard."

Ma Chao raised his head. Boss Li said that these people would receive monthly wages after being bought, but it would not be too high.

This is also the reason why he is eager to be bought as soon as possible. With the monthly silver, he can give it to his mother and sister.

He originally thought that the monthly allowance would be at most three to five hundred coins, but he did not expect that the lady would actually give him one or two taels of silver a month.

"Thank you, Madam. I will do my best."

Now Ma Chao had nothing else to say except to express his loyalty again and again.

"If you have anything to say to your mother and sister, just say it quickly. Let's take a walk in the yard outside."

Lu Yanyan was also calculating the money in his mind.

Without considering Yan Dahu and the others, Chi Nai and the others' current monthly salary is 800 wen. Lan Niang and Liu Mei's salary has not been decided yet, but at least it will not be lower than Chi Nai and the others.

Today, Ma Chao and the other four are added to the list, so she has to spend ten taels of silver as monthly allowance every month.

I spent seventy taels to buy a carriage, and eighty-five taels to buy someone today.

According to Lu Youtian, the teahouse might have to open earlier, so they would have to deliver cakes and snacks every day and buy another carriage.

There was also the manual grinding machine she was planning to make, she was also looking to rent a few shops, and she was also going to donate the two hundred taels to the shelter...

With this calculation, the two thousand taels I received yesterday and the more than two hundred taels left over from before are definitely not enough.

Han Qingyun couldn't help laughing when he saw Lu Yanyan's worried face. Yanyan was becoming more and more like a little money-grubber.

"Don't worry, if it really doesn't work out, I'll just write a book. It's Mu Zili's 'Records of Strange Stories in the Jianghu'. It's said the writing fee is 500 taels. That's too good to be true. I'm tempted."

Lu Yanyan looked at Han Qingyun and said seriously, "That makes sense. Go back home tonight and write it down. Maybe it can really solve my problem."

"sure……"
