Chapter Ninety-Four: How Can I Drag You More?
Linjiang opened a post station, red lanterns were hung on the doors on both sides, pasted with red spring couplets, a man who looked like a small man held a fire fold in one hand, and a bamboo pole in the other hand, and a string of firecrackers hung on the bamboo pole.
Hearing this crackling sound, a few people reacted - today is the New Year!
I didn't want to hurry up, they still couldn't catch up, this year has a different flavor, and I am afraid that I will not forget such an experience in this life.
The little guy saw Lin Qingfeng and his party crossing the bridge, he secretly looked at the group of people in front of him, they were dusty but all of them had a good temperament, and the dress and the carriage behind him showed that this was a group of rich people, he immediately put down the bamboo pole that had just finished setting off the firecrackers in his hand, and immediately greeted him with a smile.
"How many guest officers, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
Lin Wangshu looked at this post station and only felt that something was not quite right, the place where this post station was built was very strange, built against the river, although it was on the border of Huaizhou, but there was still a long distance from the city tower, Huaizhou, a place where birds don't, there were few merchants, and these days except for the people who fled the famine, no one would go this way, this post station is open in this place, what guests can be?
The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, so I simply asked, "Little Er, how many silver taels do you have to stay here for a night?" ”
Who knew that Xiao Er smiled at them slightly, "It's not expensive, it's only ten taels of silver a night, today's New Year, I will give you a discount, as long as eight taels are auspicious!" ”
Lin Qingyun was slightly stunned, "Eight taels? ”
It stands to reason that their group will cost at least twenty taels of silver for one night, and this store is only eight taels? How can it be so cheap?
Lin Wangshu felt that something was not right, and he muttered to Li Yuan for a while and then asked, "Your eight taels, are we a total of eight taels, or?" ”
"That's naturally a person of eight taels." Xiao Er smiled slightly, the group of people in front of him looked like they hadn't been far away, it was rare to meet rich and noble people in this place, and it was a fool to have money or not, so he wanted to slaughter them at the moment.
This sentence made everyone dumbfounded like thunder, Xiao Er sneered: "Ladies and gentlemen, we only have this post station in this place, and further until Huaizhou City, there is no one, look at the small one, you must be extraordinary, this person is indeed not expensive, or live in our store for a night?" ”
The corners of Lin Wangshu's mouth flickered, what is this called? On the surface, this little er persuaded them to stay on the grounds that there was no store in front of him, but in the second half of the meeting, he made up his mind that they would not be able to pull down their bright faces, but he was afraid that he would be disappointed.
She pulled Li Kite at the moment, pulled Lin Qingfeng again, and showed a fool-like expression to Xiao Er, "Thank you, I can't afford to live, say goodbye." ”
Laughing to death, are they really stupid? This is a hotel, this is clearly a robbery, one person is eight taels, how can you be embarrassed to say it?
The little second opened his mouth to persuade again, and when he saw a few people unmoved for a long time, his face changed at the moment, he used to look at this group of people dressed like this, what kind of rich and noble family should he be, he couldn't even afford to live in this. He rolled his eyes at a few people, but without even saying hello, he turned around and went straight into the house.
Everyone was stunned when they saw him suddenly change their faces, what was wrong with this little er, they said they couldn't afford to stop and just rolled their eyes? Is there any quality, I'll go!
"Nightstrings." Lin Wangshu tilted his head to look at the person on the other side, and when Yexian heard the sound, he turned his head, and saw that she looked angry, "How can he be more dragged than you?" ”
The boy laughed dumbly, "I'm going to beat him up?" ”
"That's not necessary." Lin Wangshu snorted lightly, "We are not unqualified people. ”
Now that they have come to Huaizhou, they naturally brought all their belongings over, of course there is no shortage of money, the original shop in Guangxing Yunlou was sold for 10,000 taels, plus the Lin family's savings in recent years, and the house was arrived before leaving, and tens of thousands of taels could still be taken out. Even the two or three thousand taels of silver that Lin Wangshu originally earned were carried on his body.
Now that they are in Huaizhou, since they are running for poverty alleviation, the imperial court not only does not give disaster money but increases taxes, so this money will naturally be used on the blade, instead of being an unjust seed to live in this kind of black shop and rush to slaughter people.
A group of people turn around and leave, what if there is no store in front? They have experienced all these bad days, and they will be afraid of eating and sleeping in the open?
So the rest of the days were the same as the previous days, with the day on the road and the night in the carriage. The closer it is to Huaizhou, the higher the temperature is, and it is obviously winter, but here it is like spring in Yanling.
But it is not surprising that Huaizhou is south, and further south is Haicheng, and Haicheng is Wufu Sea behind, which can barely be regarded as a coastal area.
The clothes of the group went all the way and minus all the way, although the temperature in Huaizhou was much higher, but there was still a slight chill in the wind.
Counting from the day of departure from Yanling, a total of thirty-seven days, Lin Wangshu and his party finally saw the tower of Huaizhou City from a distance on this day. Everyone was happy, Laifu and Ah Shun drove a little faster, and finally hurried to the city tower.
Not as gorgeous and heavy as Yanling, the city tower of Huaizhou has its own vicissitudes.
Huaizhou city tower is wide open, two tables are set up under the city tower, these days there are people who have fled the famine to come to Huaizhou one after another, two tables are sitting people, two documents one person registered, one person to give them a new household registration.
On both sides of the gates stood guards in armor, armed with weapons in their hands, to prevent anyone from cutting in or breaking through and causing a disturbance in the ranks.
There were a lot of people lined up in front of the table, and Laifu and Ah Shun got out of the car, and one led a carriage to line up with them.
The line was long, and the eyes were full of people with yellow faces and thin muscles, and some of them were gathered together, but without exception, their expressions were tired.
Fortunately, the people at the table were efficient, although the team was long, they didn't wait too long, and when Laifu and Ah Shun led the horses to the front, the two clerks saw the dress of their group, and the carriage behind them looked surprised, and asked them strangely.
"You're also fleeing the famine?"
Laifu shook his head, "No, our group is from Yanling and is going to Yunxian County, Huaizhou." ”
"You're from Yanling?" The two clerks looked at the carriage behind them, as if they were looking at two fools, "What are you doing in Huaizhou if you don't wait for Yanling?" Who was in the carriage? ”
Lin Qingfeng and a few people got out of the car when they heard the voice, and a group of ten people were standing around the table at the moment.
