On the morning of the next day, Zhulan slept quite well, so Zhou Shuren couldn't rest well. Zhulan said, "Let's change the room tonight."

Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "The inns are all facing the streets. The sound of horse hooves, even if I change them, I can still hear them. I couldn't sleep yesterday. I counted it and never stopped patrolling all night. It seems that the imperial court's use of troops was much earlier than I estimated."

Zhulan handed the handkerchief in her hand to Zhou Shuren, "I just don't know why I used troops in advance. It seems that the court is not short of money."

Zhou Shuren wiped his face, "It should have something to do with Shi Qing. However, fighting is useless and money, but having to fight, and the farmers are not having a good life."

Zhulan was thinking about her nephews, "I don't know what happened to Wu Chun and I didn't send a letter to my family."

"It's good news if you don't believe it. Don't worry about it. Everyone has their own destiny. Sometimes it doesn't work."

Zhulan was speechless. Sometimes Zhou Shuren couldn't answer the words. She pulled Zhou Shuren down to comb Zhou Shuren's hair. After she tied her hair, Zhulan and the other two went down to have breakfast.

At the center of the power of the capital, the people in the capital understand the situation better than those in other states. Although the capital is still prosperous, you can see that there are many convoys coming and going, and there are also many people leaving Beijing.

Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to send the post back and signaled to come to the window, "I sat there and counted the convoys that left the city from the South City Gate. Four convoys left in two hours. The two teams were caravans, and the two teams left with their families."

Zhou Shuren sat next to Zhulan, "Whether the time we came is good or not."

Zhulan followed Zhou Shuren's words and said: "The time is good, the situation is tense, and there are many people leaving Beijing. We don't have to worry about not being able to buy a house in Beijing. As for the bad, it is better to leave early if the capital does not feel comfortable."

Zhou Shuren praised, "It's all right. When I buy a house, I'll find a convoy to return."

Zhulan closed the window, "I just don't know if the war started in the northwest or the northeast border."

"No matter where the war starts, the price of grain will increase this year. Our family will sell less grain this year, so keep the rest!"

"Yeah, when did you say the war start?"

Zhou Shuren spread his hands and said, "I can't get in touch with a scholar, and my estimates are not accurate, especially since there are many variables, I can't estimate them even more. However, the army will drive out food and grass first, and at least have to prepare for some days."

Zhulan said quietly: "That's too soon. Whether it's northwest or northeast, try not to drag it into winter. Fortunately, the dynasty has only been established for twelve years, and the soldiers are still the army of tigers and wolves. They have not yet enjoyed wealth and slackness. They have a great chance of victory, so I can feel much more at ease."

Zhou Shuren was not worried. Those who could successfully rebel were brave and good at fighting. As long as there was enough food and supplies, the chance of defeating the war was very small. It was not said that heroes would come from troubled times.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren chatted for a while, and the two went out shopping. Zhou Shuren was going to check out the antique shop in Beijing.

Zhulan wanted to go to a garment shop and jewelry store, so Zhou Shuren first accompanied Zhulan to a garment shop and jewelry store.

The clothes in the ready-to-wear garment shops in Beijing are more expensive, and of course the price is also very touching. Zhulan has a crush on two sets of clothes. Zhou Shuren's waist bag is now very bulging. Zhulan is naturally buying and buying. Zhulan has also chosen one for Zhou Shuren. The three-piece clothes are not expensive, and it costs eighteen taels.

Then the two went to the fabric shop again, which was all kinds of materials in Beijing. When Zhulan came to Beijing, they naturally had to bring some gifts when they returned. Materials were the first choice. Although most of the materials were also available in Pingzhou, the meaning of buying them in Beijing was different.

Finally, I went to the jewelry shop. Zhulan did not choose the most famous jewelry shop. I still knew how much I had. After choosing a home, I looked at the more friendly ones. This time, Zhulan didn’t just look at gold and silver jewelry, but her eyes fell on the pearls. The pearls were very small. Although pearls were expensive, small pearls were not that valuable.

Zhulan chose several pearl-inlaid hairpins for her three daughters-in-law, and also selected pearl earrings for Xuehan and a few girls, and bought herself jade hairpins and pearl earrings.

Finally, he also chose a pair of gold bracelets for Sun, and the old man prefers gold.

Zhou Shuren said: "It is rare to come to Beijing and buy two jewelry for two sisters-in-laws. We live in Pingzhou City and go back to the Yang family. It will be even more difficult for us to go back if we go far in the future. My father-in-law and mother-in-law have to rely on the two sisters-in-law to take care of them."

Zhulan chose two more pearl hairpins, "That's all, the shopkeeper's calculation of how much money it costs."

The shopkeeper quickly planned, "There are 56 taels and 5 cents in total. My wife bought more, so you can count 56 taels."

The jewelry selected by Zhulan is expensive on gold bracelets and jade hairpins. The pearl hairpins are really not big and not too expensive. Zhulan paid the silver note, and the shopkeeper asked, "Do you two want silver or gold?"

Zhulan didn't want to carry a bag of silver, "gold."

The shopkeeper responded, exchanged gold and handed it to Zhulan, "My wife, please pack it, come again next time."

Zhulan collected the money and left the shop. She and Zhou Shuren carried a lot of things in their hands. "Send the things back, let's go to the antique shop again!"

Zhou Shuren looked down at the bag in his hand, "Okay."

The two went back to the inn, and the waiter stepped forward and said, "Two guests, a scholar named Deng came here to send a post."

Zhulan took the bag from Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren took the post, gave the waiter a few copper coins, and carried the bag upstairs.

After returning to the room, Zhou Shuren looked at the post, "It is not convenient for Deng Xiucai to visit us at home, he will come tomorrow."

Zhulan took the post and took a look, "I haven't asked you about your visit to Deng Xiucai's house yet, what about Deng Xiucai's house?"

Zhou Shuren carried the bags all the way and his arms were sore. While rubbing his arms, he said, "Deng Xiucai and his family live together. When I went there, Deng Xiucai was not at home, so he left a post. The family was in a mess."

Zhulan thought to herself, no wonder Zhou Shuren didn't mention it. Deng Xiucai's family must have made Zhou Shuren dislike it, "Let's have lunch first, and after lunch, go to the antique shop."

"good."

In the afternoon, Zhulan followed Zhou Shuren to the antique shop. There were backgrounds behind the famous antique shops in the capital. Zhulan did not dare to move around after entering the shop. She was afraid that she would not be able to hold it, knock it, and she would be able to compensate.

Zhou Shuren is not only here to gain knowledge, but also to try his luck. He has the intention of picking up bargains. As for why he doesn't go to the stalls outside to pick up bargains, it's all because he doesn't have time to watch one by one. If he lives in the capital, he will have time to pick up bargains slowly, but he is too busy, so the antique shop has screened it, and the chance of picking up bargains is higher.

The shopkeeper didn't follow him and kept sitting and drinking tea. He could tell at a glance whether he was going to buy it or not.

Zhou Shuren walked around twice and said to Zhulan: "Let's go!"

The shopkeeper smiled and continued to humming the song. It was not so easy to find a bargain.

Zhulan was waiting to walk away, "This is not your temperament, there are still some things I haven't seen!"

Zhou Shuren said quietly: "We shouldn't choose famous shops. There are very few fake shops. I just turned around and looked at a few of them and they were all real. It would be a waste of time to continue reading."

Zhulan chuckled, "Then find an ordinary shop?"

Zhou Shuren shook his head, "We can't go. We are not from the capital and have no background. Even if I find a bargain, I can't take it away."

"Come on, let's go back!"

"Go back!"
