Chapter 059: It's not easy to live in the county

ใ€Chinese Networkใ€‘, to provide you with wonderful reading.

Harue was startled.

"Actually, it's not necessary." She hurriedly shook her head, "It's not a big deal, it's over." โ€

"No, you can't forget it. They're deliberately bullying you today, and I've seen it all! Chai Dong insisted.

As soon as Chunzhi choked, Chai Dong had already shrunk his head into the quilt. "I remember this!"

This stinky boy, why is his heart so small?

In addition to the powerlessness in Chunzhi's heart, there is also a faint warmth in his heart.

Anyway, he reacted so violently because of her!

Her man is indeed becoming more and more responsible, although now his responsibility is only reflected in words. But she believed that he would definitely show it in action in the future!

Thinking so, she didn't say anything more, and also pulled up the quilt and fell asleep.

In the next few days, the young couple still got up early and hurried, if they were lucky enough to meet the ox cart and mule cart on the way, they would take a cut, and if they were unlucky, they could only walk on their feet all day. On the way, when he was hungry, he would nibble on the bread he had brought with him, and when he was thirsty, he would either go to someone's house to ask for a bowl of water to drink, or he would pick up a few mouthfuls of raw water in the nearby river or well. In the evening, find a village to spend the night.

It took them seven days to arrive at the county seat.

The county seat is indeed much larger than Shitong Town. There are a lot of people waiting in line at the gate of the county seat to enter, and there are many people who are dressed as scholars like Chai Dong, who should also come to take the exam.

When it was their turn, Chai Dong took out the road and showed it to the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and the two of them entered it smoothly.

Being in the county seat, Haruzhi realized that the prosperity here was simply not something she could imagine! There are so many people coming and going on the street in front of me, and they are much more glamorous than those in the town, both dressed and dressed! Of course, the gold and silver jewelry on the heads of the women has also increased significantly, and there is a lively and prosperous scene everywhere.

The young couple inquired all the way and found the vicinity of the examination room.

It's just that the inns around the examination room have already been snatched up by the students who came first. The prices of the few remaining rooms are also ridiculously high, just a narrow room with only one bed, and the price is 30 yuan a day! It's a money grab!

Although before leaving the door, Wang stuffed them with the last remaining three taels of silver in her hand. But they are going to stay here for almost a month, and in this short period of time, they will have to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation, plus they have to set aside the money to go back, so in fact, their hands are still very tight, and Chunzhi and Chai Dong dare not spend it indiscriminately.

It's just that I even asked several inns, but there is no room that they can accept the price. And the cheaper places are all Chase Shops that sleep with more than a dozen people in one go, Chai Dong is a man who can say, but how can Chunzhi's little daughter-in-law squeeze with those people?

The two of them asked all the places within a mile radius next to the examination room, but they couldn't find a satisfactory room, and they were half tired to death.

Walking tiredly, he casually found a foot shop on the side of the road to take a breath, and Chai Dong sank his face at the steamed bun in front of him again.

Haruka also hurts too much. "Things in the county are expensive. In my mother's house, a steamed bun is only a penny, and Shitong Town is more expensive than a penny and a half, but when you get to this place, it will cost you three pennies! It's up to the price of a purse embroidered by Niang, and this head is not as big as Shitong Town. It seems that the money we have in hand will definitely not be spent. โ€

Ay! Thinking about the price of the inn room she had just asked, she was even more worried.

She said she shouldn't have come with her in the first place! If Chai Dong came alone, how much trouble would have been saved and how much money would have been saved!

"It's all here, so let it be." Chai Dong said in a deep voice.

"I know to go with the flow. It is...... Anyway, now we have to settle the house first! Harueda whispered.

If this problem is not solved, they will not even have a place to stay tonight! Seeing that the sun is about to go down now, this county is not as good as the countryside they have come all the way to, so they can just find someone to knock on the door and say a good word, and they can let them spend the night. And this time they have to live for so long, and they don't have the same face to live in someone else's house for as long.

"Yo, you two are looking for a house?" The guy in the foot shop had sharp ears, and when he heard the conversation between the two of them, he hurriedly ran over.

Harueda nodded. "Yes! Little brother, do you know where there is a suitable house here, the price is cheaper, and we can live alone? โ€

"It's not easy for the two of you to live alone, and it's cheaper!" The guy frowned, but immediately smiled again, "By the way, I remembered!" Aunt Hong, who is next door to my house, has a firewood room, which has just been cleaned up in the past two days, and plans to rent it out for students who come to take the entrance examination. Because they have many women and two children, they don't dare to recruit too many men to live in, so they asked me to help find one or two suitable candidates. As long as the people are good, the price is negotiable. If you think you can, I can help you get a thread out of that. โ€

"Firewood room!" Haruka couldn't help but whisper in frustration.

Moreover, there are children in the family, but I am afraid that the noisy ones will make noise to Chai Dong to read!

The guy just laughed. "Little lady, don't dislike the firewood house. You must know that there are more people who come to the county every year to take the exam, and even if there are firewood houses, there are people rushing to ask for them. If you don't believe it, come back and ask later, this firewood house must have been rushed to settle down a long time ago! โ€

That's right. There are so many people who come here to take the exam, and there must be a lot of people who are tight on money, and few people can afford to live in an inn. It's good to find a firewood room to make do with for a few days.

In this place, of course, everything can't be compared to home.

However, all this depends on Chai Dong's meaning, after all, he is the one who is going to take the exam.

Chunzhi immediately raised his eyes to look at Chai Dong.

Chai Dong's brows furrowed slightly, but he still nodded. "Then let's go check it out!"

"Okay!" The man nodded quickly, and went out happily to report the news.

When they had finished eating the two big steamed buns on the table, the man led a woman in her forties over.

"This is Aunt Hong." Guys introduce them to them.

Chunzhi and Chai Dong hurriedly got up to greet her, and also introduced themselves. Aunt Hong looked at the two of them and nodded with satisfaction: "It's really rare for a daughter-in-law to accompany her husband to take the exam." But seeing that both of you are people who understand etiquette, you shouldn't be those treacherous and wicked people, if you can, I'm willing to rent the firewood house to your little couple, and we will discuss the price slowly, not a problem. โ€

Chunzhi saw that although this Aunt Hong was stout, her eyebrows and eyes were kind, and she was also quick to talk about, and she seemed to be a good person to get along with, so she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, let's go and see the house!" She nodded hurriedly.

The two of them followed Aunt Hong to her house, and sure enough, her home was not far from the examination room, and it looked like a mile away. It's just that her house is in a small alley, and it will take a little time to get out of it and walk on the main road.

Aunt Hong's house is not big, there are three rooms in it, a kitchen and a firewood room. All three houses were full of people, her son and daughter-in-law, and two daughters, a grandson and a granddaughter. The firewood room that was originally used to store firewood was temporarily cleaned up, and a bed was simply built out of wooden planks, and the futon was spread on top of it.

Of course, this firewood room is not big, Chunzhi, Chai Dong, Aunt Hong and her grandchildren came in together, and it seemed crowded inside.

However, Aunt Hong's asking price is not high. "I think you two are good, if you two think this place is good, I won't say much, twenty dollars a day! If you eat at my house, there will be ten copper plates a day, and there will be food and vegetables, and there will be a few mouthfuls of meat in the dishes, so you can eat as much as you want! โ€

If at other times, a firewood house costs 20 wen, Chunzhi will definitely learn from Wang's scolding her to sit on the ground and start the price. But at this time, they are so thankful that they can live alone in a clean place for the couple at this price!

It's just that even if you only live for a month, the cost of this house plus the money for food will cost more than one or two silver.

Chunzhi finally realized the pain in Wang's flesh before.

That's a lot of silver! Now she was just about to spend more than one or two and she felt distressed like this, but that time she spent Wang's two or four dollars, so it's no wonder that Wang's will talk to her several times every day.

It's just that it's all come to this point, and you can't afford to make money.

Chunzhi raised his eyes to look at Chai Dong, and saw that he nodded at her.

Harueda immediately turned around. "This house is fine, but if you can build me another desk by the window, we're done! You can also pay half of the price upfront, what do you think? โ€

"Okay, no problem!" Aunt Hong nodded hurriedly, and went out to beckon her son to come and set up a desk for Chai Dong.

Chai Dong thought that she would directly talk to Aunt Hong about booking a house, but she didn't want her to take the opportunity to make a request? He suddenly raised his eyebrows, and looked at Chunzhi with surprise.

Harue smiled at him. "Anyway, so much money has been spent, we have to get more benefits for ourselves, otherwise it's not a loss?"

After a pause, she stuck out her tongue again. "Am I becoming more and more like my mother? is stingy and calculating, and can't be on the table. โ€

"No, you're fine." Chai Dong immediately shook his head. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
