That night, the old man Xiang saw a familiar figure in Fu Bao's room, it turned out that the phantom fox was back, and he couldn't help but get excited.

"Fubao, Phantom Fox is back, how is Xiangqian, have you been admitted?" Although the tone was calm, it was also impatient.

"Grandpa, wait a minute, I'll call my father and grandmother, I have something to tell you." After Fu Bao finished speaking, he walked out.

Not long after, Grandma Xiang and Fugui followed Fu Bao to the room, Fu Bao moved his hand, and the vines flew out, which was to sentry.

"Grandpa, grandma, daddy, mother, I want to tell you something."

Fu Bao told Xiangqian how she was in danger, and was finally saved by the phantom fox and the amulet, and then she ransacked her grandfather's granary and gold, silver and jewelry.

This statement directly frightened the rich sister-in-law into a pale face, and when she wanted to say something, her lips trembled so much that she couldn't say a word.

In the end, it was the old man Xiang who calmed down and asked Fu Bao to continue, Fu Bao glanced at the phantom fox with a smile, accepted the phantom fox's thoughts, and continued.

After the phantom fox sucked the souls of the four people, he directly asked the two maids to come over to help boil water and cook, although the two maids no longer had intelligence, but the cooking skills were still there.

That night, auspicious they comfortably ate a ready-made meal, after the meal, there were people waiting to freshen up slightly, Xiangqian went directly into the carriage to sleep, today he was too nervous, the whole person was extremely tired after the danger was lifted.

Phantom Fox asked the two servants to carry Ma Tao into the carriage, and then drove the maid back, and he returned to the carriage, found a place, and lay down comfortably.

Jixiang and Xiangyuan glanced at each other, and then at Ma Tao's carriage, and decided that the two of them would take turns to keep vigil, Xiangyuan would keep the first half of the night, and Jixiang would keep the second half of the night.

When the sky was bright, Jixiang prepared breakfast, and when Xiangqian was full of food and drink, he waved his horsewhip and shouted directly to hurry.

Ma Tao's carriage slowly followed, it was the phantom fox who gave an order, no matter what, Ma Tao and them must always be rushed to the provincial capital, otherwise the people will disappear halfway, and they will be in trouble.

Ma Tao woke up the next morning, but he seemed to feel that he had forgotten something and why he was sitting in the carriage.

He remembered the two maids and a little maid, how could the people who grew up with him since childhood forget, but how these two maids and the little maid ignored his question, it seemed stupid.

There is also an older servant, who is this person, why is he wearing the clothes of the Ma family's maid, and why he doesn't speak, like a fool.

Fortunately, when the two little maids were in a hurry, they knew when to stop, and the maid also knew when to boil water to cook, and when to serve him to drink water and eat.

A few days later, I finally came to the largest inn in the provincial capital, auspicious took out the road guide and the book, the innkeeper saw the book, and knew that there was a show in the carriage that came to the provincial city and rural area to try to stay.

hurriedly beckoned Xiao Er to pull the carriage to the courtyard of the inn, and sure enough, he saw Xiang Qian, who was wearing a long shirt and a Wensheng scarf on his head, got down from the carriage and stepped forward to help him diligently.

"This Xiucai Gong, the guest rooms in our inn are divided into upper, middle and lower classes, the upper room is fifty taels of silver per day, including three meals and two snacks, and the medium room is twenty taels of silver per day, including breakfast and dinner.

The inferior room is five taels of silver per day, without meals, which first-class room does Xiucai Gong want? The shopkeeper asked with a smile squinting his shrewd eyes.

Xiang Qian was shocked, the price of the inn in the provincial capital was so expensive, but those who could take the exam to study were not short of silver, otherwise the inn would not have done so.

After thinking about it for a moment, he had enough money on him to live in a high-class house, but this was a provincial city, and he was a foreigner, so he must not be so high-profile.

"May I ask the shopkeeper, how many people can live in a room?" Xiang Qian asked.

The shopkeeper glanced at Jixiang and Xiangyuan, and then at their carriage, and was sure that Xiangqian should not be a poor and sour talent, and there was no shortage of silver on his body.

"This talented man, each room can accommodate up to four people, but one more person will have to add silver, depending on what kind of room you live in, the amount of silver added is also different."

"Shopkeeper, let's stay in a medium room, three people, plus a carriage to take care of, you see how much silver a day." Xiang Qian wanted to go to the guest room to read a book as soon as possible, so he hurriedly asked.

"Twenty taels of silver per day for a medium room, ten taels for one more person, that is, forty taels a day, and one tael of silver a day for a carriage, so ......"

Ji Xiang shook his head and said: "Xiangqian, there are still more than 20 days before your township test, and we have to wait for the unveiling of the list after the township test, or we will find a private house to live in temporarily, so it is more economical to save money." ”

The shopkeeper couldn't help but look at Jixiang, acting so sophisticated, he should be a runner, just wanted to speak, and was stuffed with something auspicious in his hand.

The shopkeeper looked down and saw that it was actually a silver ticket of fifty taels, and his stiff face immediately improved, and he knew that Jixiang must have something to say.

"Shopkeeper, please help me find a clean and tidy house, and I will thank you after the matter is completed." Sure enough, Jixiang spoke.

"This little brother, there is a courtyard behind my inn, which is a little dilapidated, but it can still be inhabited, there are two houses in the yard, and a well, is it feasible to give a hundred taels of silver a month?" The shopkeeper hurriedly asked.

"Please lead the way." Jixiang said.

The group came to the backyard of the inn, and sure enough, there was a courtyard, which was neat and clean, and the environment was relatively quiet, but the courtyard looked a little dilapidated.

Jixiang turned around, and sure enough, there were two rooms, enough for the three of them to live, and in addition to the room in the courtyard, the kitchen was also available.

"Here are three hundred taels of silver tickets, we will rent them for three months, and if necessary, we will give you more silver." Jixiang took out three hundred taels of silver tickets.

The shopkeeper made three hundred taels of silver in vain after a while, and he was in a good mood, so he hurriedly accepted the silver and handed the courtyard key to Jixiang, he had already seen that these people were headed by Jixiang.

"Shopkeeper, I'll give you a thank you gift, it's the carriage that followed us into the inn, but the grandson of my grandfather, named Ma Tao, is also a talent who is rushing to take the exam, so go and entertain it." Ji Xiang said again.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up suddenly, grandfather, that is a rich master, or a grandson, then he must be willing to spend money, he made a gesture to Jixiang to express his gratitude, and turned around and left.

Xiangyuan quickly cleaned the two rooms, and put all the things on the carriage into the room, there were too few things, and now they had to live in two rooms, and the bedding was obviously not enough.

"Uncle, if it rains, the roof may leak, and we need to buy some bedding and cooking." Xiangyuan said with a frown.
