Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Sun Wukong reacted even if he was sluggish, and only dug out his pocket and said: "Okay, okay, don't look at it, every time there is any benefit, you take the lead, and the unlucky errand will be all given to my grandson, what kind of world, ten taels of silver, right, remember to pay me back when the time comes." ”

The old woman's old face turned into a flower, and she waved her hand again and again: "The teacher is wrong, it is ten taels per person, a total of thirty taels, thank you for your patronage." ”

The monkey's feet slipped, and he almost fell to the ground without looking up to the sky, and said bitterly: "Damn, thirty taels of silver, it's too pitiful, old woman, your daughter country is really a place that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and even crossing the river costs thirty taels of silver, if it's an ordinary person, it's really unaffordable." ”

The old woman shrugged her shoulders and said with a sad face: "This is already the most frontier of the daughter country, how many people do you think can come? But in order to ensure that these old women will not starve to death, corresponding policies have been introduced in various places to seek welfare for them, such as our children who come to visit their mothers and relatives are not allowed to take their own mother's boats, and they need to spend ten taels of silver to support the old people who support the boats of other families to protect their financial resources. ”

Hearing this, Tianshu nodded slightly, full of sympathy: "This policy is also benevolent, but if people's children don't have ten taels of silver, won't they even be able to see their own mothers, which will inevitably hinder people's morality." ”

The old woman waved her hand and said with a chuckle: "Otherwise, people love their children, as long as their own children come to visit them, it is too late to be happy, how can they be willing to let them give money." Normally, a few people say yes, as long as they save enough ten taels of silver, the children of the Li family take the boat of the Zhang family's mother, and the children of the Zhang family take the boat of the Li family's mother again, back and forth, and the money does not come out, but the daughter sees it, isn't it good? ”

The monkey listened impatiently, waved his hand and said, "In this way, it is just a formality, and it sounds troublesome, so it is better to ban it and save trouble." ”

The old woman shook her head and explained: "No, such rules were set by the ancestors, and they have their own reasons, and this silver also has its name, called filial piety money, which means that whose daughter comes to see her mother more times, spends more money, has a profit, and her mother also has face." Coming and going, far and near spread such customs, although there is no man in the country to take care of it, fortunately the mother and daughter are filial, and the mother and child are happy with each other. ”

Tianshu couldn't help nodding when he heard this, and sighed: "Exactly, if the people in the world are as motherly and filial as their daughters, how much less disputes should there be, and how much affection should there be." ”

The old woman smiled when she heard this, and sighed again and again: "Yes, yes, this may be the painstaking work of the sixth ancestor of the founding of the country, how unreliable men are, or the mutual intimacy between mother and daughter." ”

In this way, the crowd moved forward with laughter and laughter, and the Zimu River was not very wide, so that the time to speak was shaken to the other side, and only the monkey burst into tears, and took the money indignantly, and muttered that the boat money was too expensive, and asked the master and the two to pay back the money.

After crossing the Zimu River, the three of them followed the guidance of the old woman and went up to the Yongdao of the Imperial City of the Daughter's Kingdom, which was paved with fine marble, smooth and neat, and shining under the reflection of the sun. The scenery on the side of the road is quite pleasant, just like the splendid and prosperous water town in the south of the Yangtze River: the rice seedlings in the field are green and oily with the wind, and the growth is gratifying; in the lotus pond next to it, the lush and large lotus leaves set off the flower bones that have just emerged, red and bright, with buds waiting to be released; there are several willow trees standing on the pond bank, and the long willow leaves hang straight down and stretch into the lotus pond; there are small cicadas that have just come out of the shell on the willow trees, and they are lying on the branches and squeaking and singing. Perhaps it was still early, and there were few pedestrians on the road, only a few peasant women were pulling weeds and fertilizing in the fields, occasionally raising their heads, wiping the sweat on their foreheads, and waving their hands to the Sanzang masters and apprentices who were hurrying, and laughing.

Such a thriving and interesting scenery made the Sanzang master and apprentice fascinated, relaxed and happy, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but the daughter country of Xiliang, which had no men, could also be so prosperous, and the strength of this country should be so strong.

A few people walked and looked, unconsciously rushed more than ten miles, and came to a city gate, Yuntou Bajie and the two were already waiting impatiently, waving at the master, the imperial city of the daughter country has arrived.

When Tang Sanzang looked up, it was really a majestic city, the city wall alone was as high as a hundred feet, smooth and neat, like glazed tiles, blooming with pale golden light under the sunlight, the good news was that there was no sentry at the gate of the city, so that Sanzang master and apprentice easily entered the city, but saved a lot of work.

As soon as they entered the city, the Sanzang master and apprentice were stunned: this is really the most prosperous area in the daughter country, with shops and wine shops, inns and markets, dense layers, crowded next to each other, pedestrians on the road side by side, sweating into rain. There are almost no women over the age of 30 here, all of them are in their prime of life, dressed in red and willow green, with their waists and limbs spreading, coming and going, picking and selling, so they are not jubilant. The whole scenery of splendid mountains and rivers and paradise on earth makes people feel that they are in the middle of it, and they really have the feeling of being in vain.

When he got closer, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but be disappointed, although such clothes were beautiful, the helpless person who was dressed looked very ordinary, with rough skin and thick flesh, and an old and yellow face, and none of them could enter the eyes of the holy monks. If it is said to be a man's paradise, it is too unworthy of the name, how are they all ordinary postures, not even the middle to low, it seems that it is really asexual reproduction, and the quality of the product cannot be guaranteed.

The three masters and apprentices pushed aside the crowd and were walking forward, when suddenly a large sedan chair came from a distance, jeweled, gongs and shouts, all the women parted the road, Luo Bai was on the ground, it seemed that there was a very high-status figure. Sanzang hurriedly pulled the two apprentices to the ground with the crowd, although reluctant, but the situation is stronger than people, in order to leave the daughter country as soon as possible, he had to compromise and worship her.

The sedan chair marched forward smoothly under the worship of the crowd, and was passing by the side of the Sanzang master and apprentice, the people in the sedan chair couldn't help but "huh", and immediately buckled the sedan board, and the people who followed the sedan chair immediately understood and greeted each other, and more than a dozen female officers dressed as guards shouted in unison to outflank them, blocking the Sanzang master and apprentice in the heart.

Tang Sanzang was so frightened that his soul flew away, and said in his heart What is going on, we have just arrived, who is this recruiting to provoke whom, but we are blocked in the middle, could it be that the person in the sedan chair is as wise as a torch, and he actually saw through my man's true body?

Just as he was thinking, the woman in the sedan chair had opened the curtain and walked out, and everyone in Luobai immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and the mountain shouted "Yunyang County Lord Chitose". Through the hat, Tang Sanzang secretly raised his eyes to look, and couldn't help but light up in his eyes, the person in front of him was only twenty-eight years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, peach blossoms, tall figure, slender waist, and in the middle of this pile of yellow-faced women, he really stood out from the crowd and stood out.

Seeing that the three of them just pretended to kneel and did not worship, the guards next to them glared angrily, drew their knives and scolded: "Where did this countryman come from, seeing that the county lord of Yunyang didn't kneel and bow, is it really a shame?"

The county lord of Yunyang was quite generous, and he smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I want to come from a remote village, I don't know the world, and those who don't know are not guilty." Far away, your white horse is very majestic, and the lord of this county is very interested and wants to pay for it from you, what do you think?"

Wen Tianshu was not stage frightened, bowed and saluted: "The county lord Chitose has good eyesight, my horse is transformed by the white dragon of the West Sea, chasing the wind for thousands of miles, walking on the ground, it is the treasure of my westward journey, please forgive the poor nun for not being able to cut his love." ”

I didn't expect Wen Tianshu to refuse, the county lord of Yunyang frowned slightly, then unfolded, narrowed his eyes, and said with a grin: "Priceless treasures always have a price, rest assured, this county lord is born in horse breeding, and if he has money, he will definitely not treat you badly, just make a price." ”

"This ......" encountered such a hard stubble, Tianshu couldn't help but be a little stunned, thinking that this horse was transformed by Ao Bai, we can't be so unrighteous, and sell him if he is sold.

Just when Tianshu was in a dilemma, Sun Wukong laughed and bowed his hand and said: "Lord Yunyang, this horse is indeed incarnated by the third prince of the Dragon Palace of the West Sea, and it is a priceless treasure, but I am afraid that you may not be able to afford the price we offer." ”

As soon as the words came out, the county lord of Yunyang covered his mouth and smiled, laughing so much that he trembled, and his heart was full of pride: "This master is too big, it's not that I Yunyang boasts, the ancestor of this county lord is one of the six founding ancestors, and he eats ten thousand households, and he is rich enough to rival the country, so why is it difficult to buy your little white horse?"

"Thousands of households, but it's nothing, even if we exchange the entire imperial city, we may not be able to. Hearing this, the monkey sneered, and had the intention to suppress the arrogance of the county lord of Yunyang, so he didn't raise his eyebrows and asked for a price.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd of onlookers was in an uproar, all of them were angry, and they crossed their hands on their waists and scolded: "You nun is crazy, what good can a white horse have, worthy of an imperial city in our daughter country? ”
