The sky had just turned white, and there was already a long queue of people waiting to pass the gate of the city.

Yun Hao was dressed in an ordinary short fight, gray and yellow, shabby, with patches, and his face was slightly vicissitudes.

Lingxi stood beside him gently, without a hat, with a delicate and sickly appearance, wearing the most ordinary peasant woman's clothes, indigo and white, tidying himself up.

The two were sandwiched between the team, and in front of them were two carts, on which were several large wine jars, and in the corners were small wine jars.

Yun Hao carried a bamboo basket on one shoulder, and a small bag on the other, moving forward little by little with the team.

The team moved very slowly, and it was clear that everyone who passed the level was carefully screened.

When the two of them were approaching, they vaguely heard the officers and soldiers in front of them nagging: "It's been many days, I estimate that people have already run away, can it be our turn?" ”

Yun Hao winked at Lingxi slyly, but Lingxi ignored him and only looked at the city gate from a distance. My heart is a little hairy, if I can't get out, will I be arrested, wouldn't it be a self-throwing net into the tiger's den.

Suddenly, as soon as the rope of the cart in front of him was loosened, he saw that the big jar was about to slip and fall to the ground.

Yun Hao hurriedly held it up, and the little guy who pulled the car heard the sound and hurriedly stopped the car and came over to fix it again, and then the woman in front turned her head and saw Yun Hao.

I heard her smile and approached and said, "Yo, isn't this the little brother of the Yun family, thank you so much, otherwise my wine will be ruined." Why did you get out of the customs so early in the morning? ”

At first glance, the woman was the identity of the proprietress at first glance, although she was not dressed in brocade clothes like a rich and noble family, but she was also in good spirits.

"Oh, it's Aunt Zhang, isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, there are many lantern shops in the town, everyone buys cooked or raw, and it's not my turn. I, I want to go over there to do business and see, craftsmen, where is not to make a living. ”

The woman said with a loud voice and a smile: "No, everywhere is begging for a living." I said, you young guys still know that it hurts people, look at you, your left shoulder and right arm don't fall, so you can protect your daughter-in-law and children well. ”

Yun Hao listened to it and suddenly blushed a little, and then listened to the aunt Zhang said: Tsk, in the end, young people, thin-skinned, and blushing. Hey, it's like your Uncle Zhang, who makes a living over there, and asks me to send something every once in a while. I don't care about the hard work of my back and forth. ”

After speaking, he looked at Lingxi with a smile, and looked at Lingxi in the heart.

Yun Hao listened, and said: "Where can I be, my Uncle Zhang is such a powerful person, the business on both sides is booming, he is just busy, where can he not feel sorry for his aunt, it would be good if the business in and outside the customs was stable for a few more years, but I am afraid that the business will be bigger by then." ”

As he spoke, he made a very embarrassed look on his face and said, "Auntie, this customs clearance document has to be approved by the government, and this handling fee is too expensive and drags on for a long time...... I originally wondered if I could sell it to the officers and soldiers and stuff some silver to accommodate them, but I heard that as long as they were the resident population of the town, they could be exempted from this procedure. Can you take me and ...... in a while" After speaking, he glanced at Lingxi, and looked at Aunt Zhang embarrassedly.

"Oh, what a big deal, it's not that we don't know each other, neighbors, you've helped us a lot these days, don't worry." Aunt Zhang patted her chest and reassured.

"Where are the people, why are you going to go out of the customs, do you have any documents?" As he was talking, the two officers and soldiers in front stopped Aunt Zhang.

Who knew that Aunt Zhang was not false at all: "Okay, you old Liu, has this month's wine money been settled?" At this time, I will be an official and a master. ”

"Yo, yo, isn't this Aunt Zhang......" The officer and soldier smiled flatteringly at Aunt Zhang, but his eyes kept aiming at the wine jar.

"Phew, who is your aunt, you don't look at how old you are, and you still call me aunt!"

Aunt Zhang waved the handkerchief in her hand, not looking at him, "I also asked me for customs documents, you come to my restaurant to drink every day when it's dark, and I will also ask your daughter-in-law to ask your drinking paperwork!" ”

The old Liu Tou was anxious when he heard it: "Hey, don't, don't, don't, I call you sister, sister, okay!" Are you sending wine to Brother Zhang again? ”

"It's not, the best osmanthus brew, our osmanthus town is the only one, there is no semicolon, your brother Zhang is worried about the small restaurant over there, this is this year's osmanthus brew, this wine has just become, I will transport half of it to him, and give him a boost! After all, it is only a day's road on both sides, as long as you catch the boat, you will go out at this time, and it will be dark. Jiang is better, but the door is difficult. It's just that it's too troublesome to go through two gates in a row. ”

"Sister still knows how to do business, there are shops inside and outside this level, and you brew a good wine, no wonder Brother Zhang praises you for your ability every time he passes the customs."

"Come on." Aunt Zhang turned around and untied a pot of wine from the cart and handed it over, "Hurry up and let me out, it's going to be bright this day, and I won't be able to catch up with the merchant ship for a while, so I have to wait, I don't have time to talk to you." ”

Lao Liu got the wine, let Aunt Zhang go over again and again, and pretended to help push the cart.

At this time, I saw another officer and soldier come over and said, "I want to check these two little guys." ”

When Aunt Zhang heard this, she was already scolding, and when Lao Liu saw this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go, aren't these the two guys who help in the tavern, I know." Let's go, let's go. ”

Aunt Zhang didn't leave for a while, and pointed to Yun Hao and Lingxi, who were being stopped for investigation, and said: "Those two people, they rented the yard next door to me, and they have lived for a long time, and they sell lanterns with lanterns." I don't have much money to get your paperwork, it's almost the holidays, go over there to beg for a living, don't embarrass the couple. ”

Lao Liu Tou continued: "Sister, you have the final say." Hehe, next time I drink, you can give me two more taels! His hand was not slow, and he had already removed the bamboo basket and burden on Yun Hao's shoulders and checked it.

Seeing that there were lantern tools in the bamboo basket and a few tattered clothes in the baggage, he returned the things to the two. He said to the two, "Let's go." ”

Yun Hao took Ling Xi's hand and thanked Lao Liu Tou again and again, but Lao Liu Tou didn't look at them. The two followed Aunt Zhang all the way out of the customs.
