After thanking the officers and soldiers, the group entered the city, because they were not sure whether Lu Guilan would go out of the city at once, and Lu Daping's leg injury had to be seen by the doctor first, so the Lu family still decided to stay in the city for a day and look for it first.

As for Cheng Ke and Cheng Yang, He Jiuniang knew that they were just protecting their family into the city according to Mrs. Jiang's instructions, and now that they want to stay in the city, they naturally can't delay others, so after discussing with the family, He Jiuniang is responsible for saying goodbye to the two.

The main reason is that other people in the family are not very good at talking, and Sun feels that He Jiuniang has performed very well during this time, and it is best for her to come forward, and others have no opinion.

The entrance fee for the two of them was given by the Lu family together, although they had money on them, but the Lu family felt that they should not be stingy with such a small amount of money to protect them, so they gave it together.

"Thank you for the protection of the two sons, it will be much safer after entering the city, our family decided to stay in the city for a day, so as not to delay the two sons, and the two sons will treat me thank you madam."

He Jiuniang's etiquette was done very well, and she prepared dry food and two bamboo tubes of water for them, which were still sweetened.

After entering the city, there were also food and drinks on the streets, but this was the family's intention after all.

"Madame is polite, and my two brothers will accept it."

Cheng Ke took it, He Jiuniang took out a small porcelain vase, and said: "This is a blood tonic pill that calms the nerves and invigorates qi, this is a good thing, it's useless for us rough people to keep it, it should be a thank you gift to Mrs. ”

Cheng Ke only hesitated for a moment and then accepted it, he heard Ling Xue talk about He Jiuniang's small porcelain bottles, he had given Mrs. tranquilizers and summer medicine before, and after Mrs. took it, the effect was indeed significant.

Saying goodbye to the two, the Lu family began to divide labor, and the old man Lu said: "The boss and the rich and noble few strong men will go to the grain store first to have a look, and buy some grain and come back; The old family went to the hospital with the Daping family to see the leg injury, and by the way bought some commonly used medicinal materials to prepare, I don't know what to go through along the way, so I always have to prepare in advance; The second family and the third daughter-in-law searched around the city for the whereabouts of Guilan's family, and bought some with them if they wanted to buy; The rest of the people who want to buy things also go to buy, and wait here after buying, if something happens to the mess or disappears, our family doesn't care! ”

The last sentence is mostly said to a few outsiders, along the way, except for the Liu sisters who have come out once, the others have not been moths, and they are still obedient to discipline, but Old Man Lu still has to say ugly things in front, and don't come to find fault if something happens later.

Several people knew that the Lu family was their only backer, so they naturally didn't dare to say anything, and nodded vigorously.

The three taels of silver per person that were distributed in the Liukou Den before, the adults gave the city entrance fee and it was gone, but the children still had one or two left, and the families with children wanted to use the money to buy some things, and they couldn't borrow anything from the Lu family, and they didn't owe them.

If you don't have children, you want to take out the food you have left over and sell it, and after that, you can eat one meal a day, and after selling the money, you can buy some other necessities, anyway, you are busy.

In the end, only the old man and his wife were left waiting for people under the pergola not far from the city gate with a group of children, if nothing else, they planned to spend the night here tonight and leave the city early tomorrow morning.

The puppy wants to follow He Jiuniang alive and dead, and finally has the opportunity to act alone, He Jiuniang naturally will not bring a small oil bottle, stuff the baby into Sun's arms, turn around and leave, and she doesn't care if the puppy cries out in a hurry.

There was the sound of Sun's coaxing the child behind him, and He Jiuniang smiled proudly and ran faster.

"Second brother and sister-in-law, you go to the east and north to look for it, I go to the west and south, it's faster to find it separately, otherwise the dog will make trouble again when I go back."

The two also thought that this method was good, so they acted separately.

It is not an ordinary difficulty to find a family in a city, who knows whether they will go or stay, and if so, where they will live.

The city of Qianzhou has also been plagued by drought, but it is not as serious as Changzhou, and the city is full of refugees, and there are no people on this street, which is very depressed.

He Jiuniang walked around, but she felt bored and didn't find anything.

The price of everything that can be eaten in the city has risen, and the steamed buns without fillings cost two cents each, but before two cents could buy three.

Two yuan in this era is equivalent to one dollar in the postmodern era, and two yuan steamed buns are expensive even for modern people, let alone in ancient times.

Even the well is guarded by the officials to charge, a penny and a small half a bucket of water, compared with the post-modern five cents for a ton of water, it can be described as a sky-high price.

Even so, there was a long queue to buy water next to the well.

He Jiuniang didn't want to go over to join in the fun, but suddenly remembered that Lu Guilan's family might come here to buy water, so she went to ask the officials for questioning.

"Go, go, if you want to buy water, go to the back and queue!"

When the official saw that someone kept squeezing forward, his temper suddenly became bad, and he picked up the whip and was about to beat someone.

He Jiuniang grabbed the rope quickly in front of her, and then took advantage of the chaos to stuff a few copper plates into the hands of the officials, and said flatteringly: "Don't be angry, big brother officials, I don't buy water, and I'm not here to cut the queue, I just want to ask you have seen a butcher from Changzhou, who is very strong, with some anger, and has a pig smell on his body to buy water?" ”

The official was originally very angry, but after receiving the money, he thought about it seriously, but he was really not impressed.

"How long has it been dry this day, and the water that people drink is gone, how can everyone have water to clean themselves up, who do you smell is not a smell?"

Speaking of this, the faces of the officials were a little ugly, they had been guarding here against the big sun, and the smell on their bodies was heavier than anyone else!

The other people in line also coaxed, and He Jiuniang thought that they could take a shower from time to time on the road, and she was suddenly a little embarrassed.

"Hey, hey, having said that, the smell of pigs is always different from the smell of people, or, have you ever seen anyone who smells bigger?"

People who kill pigs all year round will inevitably be contaminated with the smell, and people in this era don't like to take a bath very much, so the smell is naturally smoky.

The official didn't speak, because he really couldn't remember, but some people in the queue still had some impressions: "If you say this, it seems that there really is!" ”

He Jiuniang instantly rushed to the man and looked at him blankly.

The man: ......

Those who know are inquirers, and those who don't know think that he is the pork!

"Just yesterday, a little boy walked past me crying, the smell is quite big, it seems that the taste of raw pork is indeed stronger, and there are a few flies around ......"

Speaking of that picture, everyone couldn't help frowning, it was really ......
