The servant was holding a hurdle in his hand, and only heard the two guards guarding the gate of Hu's mansion call him Mrs. Wang.

"Sister-in-law Wang, you are going to the nearby market to buy vegetables again. Can we have a little bit of meat for lunch? We are vegetarian every day, and we are almost turning into green vegetables.

"That's right, you sweat so much every day in this summer, can't you give us a little rest?"

When Mrs. Wang heard the complaints from the two nursing homes, she looked embarrassed, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that the money given by the mansion is really not much recently, if I buy meat here, I'm afraid it will only be the last meal and not the next meal."

"So don't expect to be able to eat well in the near future, but I will try my best to make some uneaten ones for you today.

Sister-in-law Wang said so. 25 The two nursing homes could only shake their heads helplessly, and sighed, "Recently, the master is short of money!"

"Who knows, the cost of food and clothing in the entire mansion has been reduced by more than half. I heard that some time ago, someone saw the master pawning some of the gold and silver jewelry in the mansion."

Lin Zhizhou sneered when he heard it.

Although Hu Ji's father, Hu Dongbai, was not found in the circulation of counterfeit money some time ago.

But Hu Dongbai was definitely involved.

It's just that before that, Hu Ji reminded him that he had filled in the premise earlier, so that matter was not found on Hu Dongbai's head.

It's just that as soon as the money is filled in, the Hu family will have no money. The food and clothing are not serious shortcomings, otherwise how can we live.

For Orchid, the cost of food and clothing has been significantly reduced during this period, and it is no longer as extravagant as before.

Zhao Ze has been serving as Zhao Ze's information network in the palace, and he is well aware of what happened in the palace.

Naturally, she knew what Hu Ji would do every day. For example, when Hu Ji was rich, she would send her maid Xiao Taohua out of the palace to buy some high-quality pastries at Huang Qingzhai nearby.

Those pastries are extremely expensive, and a small piece is almost worth nearly a hundred taels.

Every time Orchid buys a large batch, and sometimes she will give it to some sisters in the palace when she is in a good mood, which can be said to be very luxurious.

Sometimes some singers will be invited to dance, and even so extravagant that they will go to a nearby pawnshop to buy some pearl hairpins worth nearly a few million taels.

And these luxurious lives are changing the time of circulation.

It is estimated that there must be some participation in the counterfeit currency circulation ceremony, and the turnover may not be less than those of those merchants.

It's just that Orchid had heard the wind before the investigation, so she wiped herself out, so that Zhao Ze didn't find out about her.

It's just that the money spent extravagantly before has to be filled with her own money in the end. Orchid must be very poor now.

So recently came to Lin Zhizhou to observe Hu Ji's life, and found that he hardly spends much money now.

Even those hobbies that burned money in the past are no longer fiddling with.

Recently, she has been very low-key, and if she wants to come to the Hu Mansion, she will also be implicated, and now she is completely poor.

Lin Zhizhou followed Mrs. Wang to a nearby market.

This market is the second largest market in the entire Xiangyang Ring City and belongs to the second center of the entire Xi'an City.

Most of the people living around are merchants with little money and ministers with low official status.

The entire Xianyang City is very prosperous, which is divided into five ring areas.

Among them, the Xianyang Imperial City was used as the center to expand outwards. The first ring was the area where Li Si, Zhao Gao and other high-ranking officials above the third rank lived.

The second ring is the residence of officials of the third and fourth ranks like Hu Dongbai, and further outside is the residence of the fifth and sixth ranks.

By analogy, the people who still live outside are basically some peasant households.

But as long as you live in Xianyang Imperial City, as long as you have a family, you will be much richer than those from other cities.

So many people squeezed their heads and had to enter Xianyang.

This has led to the emergence of the sixth ring in the imperial city in recent years. The so-called sixth ring is actually the place where beggars live. Most of them are dilapidated thatched huts, as long as they can shelter from the wind and rain.

And the place where Hu Dongbai lives belongs to the people around the second ring road, which is not considered poor money.

So the local market is fairly clean, and when you go in, you can see the neat paving around and the neatly packed goods.

Sister-in-law Wang obviously came to this market often, and saw that she came to the vegetable area with ease, surrounded by local farmers who came to buy.

The price is not bad, and the green vegetables are not bad.

Mrs. Wang squatted in front of an old lady, then pointed to Hu Dongbaicai in front of her and said, "How much of these Hu Dongbaicai do I want?"

As soon as the aunt saw Mrs. Wang, she knew she was an acquaintance.

Sister-in-law Wang came almost every day, knowing that she spent a lot of money before and bought a lot. In order to curry favor with Mrs. Wang, the aunt directly lowered the price.

"You take all of these, about three or two, which adds up to almost 20 catties.

Such a price is considered very cheap in the whole market, but Mrs. Wang is not satisfied, "It can be even cheaper, twenty-two or eighty yuan."

Although it was only 20 Wen short, the aunt had already sold it very cheaply.

She hesitated for a while, and Mrs. Wang became a little unhappy when she saw her hesitate, "If you don't want to sell, I'll go find someone else."
