Chapter 186: Be in charge
After walking for about three days, Ah Xiu and the others arrived at the legendary champion town.
However, to Ah Xiu's surprise, this champion town is not as vibrant as she imagined.
The whole town is depressing, and people always feel uncomfortable.
There is an indescribable pedantic smell on the people walking on the street, and Ah Xiu is the first time to see such a crowd.
"Is this really Champion Town?" Ah Xiu asked in disbelief.
As soon as they arrived, she and Mama Lu came out to have a casual look and learn about the folk customs of the town, while the rest of the people packed their luggage at home.
As long as you have money, it is still easy and convenient to rent a house.
It's just that the money for renting a house here is not much cheaper than in the capital, which makes Ah Xiu feel distressed for a while.
I heard that the reason why this price is so high is that many students come here to buy a house or rent it just to prepare for the exam.
Ah Xiu has come all the way and has indeed seen a lot of people with foreign accents.
"I've only heard, but I haven't been here yet." Mama Lu was also a little surprised by their state, such an attitude towards life can really be a champion?
"You're new here?" Someone saw the two fresh faces of Ah Xiu and Mama Lu, so they came up.
"You are?" Ah Xiu looks like a person, looking like a passerby, but his eyes are rolling wildly, and he looks like a person with a lively mind.
"I'm the shopkeeper of the bookstore here, and you must have a lot of things to buy for the first time, I wonder if your father or brother is going to participate in the imperial examination, or together?" The visitor asked.
Ah Xiu because of age. The facial features have also slowly grown, and she has a temperament that has been precipitated over the years.
Walking on the road, few people will think that she is a little girl.
"No one wants to participate in the imperial examination." Ah Xiu shook his head and said.
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, feeling a little unbelievable, this person from Zhuangyuan Town didn't come to prepare for the exam.
What are they trying to do?
The prices of food, clothing, housing and transportation here are much higher than those in other places, and if it weren't for the sake of getting a good fortune, who would come here specifically.
"And what are you?" The shopkeeper couldn't help but ask.
There are a lot of outsiders who come here every year, but they come and go. The permanent ones are those who don't go home if they don't get lifted.
Purely passing through. There really aren't many.
He started to see Ah Xiu and their faces, so he deliberately came up, hoping to make a big one today.
Generally, the family members of the new candidates spend more money in this regard than themselves.
Unexpectedly. He didn't even look away today.
"It's just a passing by." Ah Xiu said. Naturally, she couldn't just tell a stranger about her purpose.
"I see. That's when I was just abrupt, rude. The shopkeeper said slightly at Ah Xiu.
"Shopkeeper, you are so polite. Let me ask more, there are so many people in this champion town, most of them are foreigners? Ah Xiu asked.
"They are all students who are going to Beijing to prepare for the exam." The shopkeeper did not change his attitude immediately because the business could not be done.
"I guess they all came here, I heard that this champion town has more than 30 champions!" Mama Lu said on the side.
"yes." Although the shopkeeper said this, there was a hint of disapproval in his eyes.
"The shopkeeper is from Champion Town?" Mama Lu didn't miss the slightest change in him, and took the opportunity to ask.
"Sort of." The shopkeeper's pouting and attitude are a little unpredictable.
"Then I don't know if there is a Xue family pharmacy in this champion town." Ah Xiu didn't think deeply, after all, this is someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with her.
And she herself wasn't very interested.
"Xue Family Pharmacy?" The shopkeeper thought carefully for a while before shaking his head: "There is only one pharmacy here, called Zhuangyuan Pharmacy, but you are seeking medical treatment?" ”
"Just ask casually, it's troublesome for the shopkeeper." Ah Xiu waved her hand, she always thought that this Xue family's pharmacy was all over the world.
Although this Zhuangyuan Town is not a big place, its significance is quite special, and she subconsciously thought that this Xue family would not miss this place.
"You're welcome, I happen to have the town chronicle of this champion town here, do you want to buy a copy and take a look, just a penny of silver." The shopkeeper took the opportunity to sell it.
His instincts told him that the girl was quite interested here.
As a businessman, he naturally will not pass up any opportunity.
"Then let's have one." Mama Lu took out the silver money before.
When I returned home with the town chronicle, I saw several people in the family packing up their things in a strange way.
Ah Xiu looked at it for a while, and finally couldn't help but say aloud: "What are you guys doing!" "Is it necessary to tiptoe like a thief in your own house?
Hearing Ah Xiu's sudden voice, they were taken aback all of a sudden.
Seeing that it was Ah Xiu, the wine father put the things in his hand aside.
suppressed his voice, with a mysterious face, and said very nervously: "You have a quieter voice." ”
Ah Xiu suddenly didn't understand, in broad daylight, you have to speak softly?
"Daddy, are you guys playing with something?" This is the only reason that Ah Xiu can think of, maybe it is a whim of them, what game they are playing.
This daddy is a child, Wang Chuan'er and Gu Shijiu are young, and they are the easiest to play together.
"There's nothing to do, just now we were knocked on the door by several families next door, telling us to be quieter, they are preparing Enko." When the wine father spoke, his voice was still low, for fear that the person next door would come to the door again.
Speaking of which, their movement just now was not very big, why did these families find them at the same time!
But it's strange to say that there are people living around here, but in broad daylight, there is no movement inside.
If they hadn't come to the door by themselves just now, he would have thought they were all out!
"Nko, didn't it just last fall? The next issue will be two more years. "This imperial examination is held once every three years, the last time has just passed, and the next time it will be so long.
At noon, there will be no movement, so at night, won't even the focus of breathing be allowed.
Ah Xiu heard that some of the grooms would snore when they slept at night, and at night, they shouldn't have asked people to knock on the door for this reason.
"I heard that they are all preparing to take the top exam." The wine daddy is still a little scared when he talks about it, although they are all some readers, but they are full of people. It made his brain swell.
I can't afford to provoke this, and I can't hide it. The wine father was extremely reluctant to deal with them anymore, so he naturally preferred to wronged himself.
Anyway, it's just a little quiet, and it's not a big deal.
"They didn't buy this land, how can they control other people's talk." Ah Xiu said angrily.
That's too wide.
"Forget it. We'll stay for a while anyway. Don't have any conflicts with your neighbors. It is not easy for people to devote themselves to the imperial examination for more than ten or twenty years! Daddy waved his hand. A look of declaring righteousness.
Ah Xiu couldn't help but doubt in her heart, as far as she knew about her father, he shouldn't be such a good talker!
Think about the villagers with pimples on their faces when they were in the village.
That's all a mess that I've cleaned up!
Ah Xiu subconsciously asked, "Daddy, you won't put anything strange on them, right?" ”
This seems to be more in line with Daddy's temperament!
"How is that possible?" The wine daddy smiled, he used to be so casual, but no one took care of him.
Now that Dr. Tang is by his side, this grandmother is also watching from the sidelines, where can he do the same thing as before!
Even if you want to do it, you have to wait for someone to leave!
"There is no best, we are the ones who are about to leave, you don't want to get into trouble anymore." Ah Xiu instructed.
Originally, she thought that there would be a Xue family pharmacy in this town, so she wanted to stay for a few more days, but unfortunately she took it for granted.
And the atmosphere here made her particularly dislike, although the things had just moved out, Ah Xiu still decided to leave as soon as possible.
"I know, I need you to remind me!" The wine father glanced at Mama Lu with some weakness, shouldn't she also talk to Ah Wan about these things.
Although he knew that the two of them had no chance to renew their relationship, he didn't want to destroy his image in Ah Wan's mind.
"Okay, okay, it's weird that the carriage is sitting on this road, Ah Xiu, you go to rest first, and you get up again after eating, and everything will definitely be packed up by then." The wine father said, urging Ah Xiu to rest, lest she be unable to get off the stage in front of Mama Lu on the side.
He still wants to maintain his image as a wise and martial artist!
"Got it!"
Ah Xiu was already a little tired, so naturally he would not refuse such a request.
It's just that she read the medical book for a while, and before she could sleep for long, she heard someone in the room arguing about something.
The voice was unfamiliar, and her intuition told her that it must be one of her current neighbors.
After getting dressed, Ah Xiu went out and saw two men in robes, talking to his father.
Just looking at the expressions, although the expressions of the two of them were with a hint of indignation, the application on their faces was quite soft.
On the contrary, it was his own father, with a hideous face, as if he was undergoing great torture.
"Daddy, who are these two?" Ah Xiu walked over slowly, before they came to the door because of the sound, so what about this time?
"These two are Gao Xiucai and Lin Xiucai, who live next door." When the wine father saw Ah Xiu coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, God knows how much torment he was experiencing.
Before they came to the door, the wine father wanted to hand over the matter to Peony and let her deal with it.
It's a pity that these brainless people must talk to someone who can be the master of the family.
In this family, Dr. Tang doesn't care about anything, Ah Xiu is not here, isn't he the only one who can call the shots? (To be continued......)
