Chapter 193: Entering the Provincial City

Xiang Lao Er's eyes rolled, put his son on the cart, and pushed the cart inside, looking at this posture, he seemed to abandon his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, and took his son away.

The second daughter-in-law quit, pulled the sleeve of the second daughter-in-law, knelt on the ground and begged: "Xianggong, you just don't want these three daughters, and you shouldn't leave me behind, your silver is what the four daughters exchanged for their lives." ”

Xiang Lao Er was so embarrassed by his daughter-in-law's words that his face turned red, and when he saw the disdainful eyes of the people around him, he couldn't help but get angry, and he raised his leg and kicked his daughter-in-law's heart, directly kicking the person to the ground.

Coriander had long known that this father would not take the three sisters into the city, where did he think that he didn't even want his own woman, his eyes flashed, and he glanced at the two younger sisters.

The second daughter, Xianghua, and the third daughter, Xiangdou, saw their sister and quickly rushed to the direction of the cart.

Xiang Lao Er didn't expect that he was dealing with his daughter-in-law's gap, the rice grain and water on the cart, and the only piece of bacon was snatched away by the three daughters.

wanted to chase it, but the dead woman on the ground still held on to herself, and what made him even more uneasy was that the youngest son on the board car was slapped hard by the eldest girl, and he was crying heartbreakingly.

It turned out that the youngest son saw the eldest sister and them coming to grab something, and directly hugged the bacon and refused to let go, but was slapped by the eldest sister and robbed the bacon, so he could only cry.

The official guarding the edge of the mountain was impatient, and just wanted to open his mouth to scold, but Boss Xiang took his daughter-in-law and three daughters to catch up, gave twenty-five taels of silver and household registration, and was allowed to enter the passage to the provincial capital.

Then the people with money and household registration passed quickly one by one, and Xiang Lao Er finally got rid of his daughter-in-law's pull, fled into the passage, and let out a long breath, and finally got rid of those money-losing goods.

"Dad, the food and drink were all snatched away by the eldest sister." The youngest son, Xiangmi, said with a bitter face, and there were still deep fingerprints on his cheeks.

"Don't be afraid, Daddy still has silver, it's all in the provincial capital, Daddy will buy it for you." Xiang Lao Er gritted his teeth, regretting that he didn't hide things on his body.

The villagers of Xiangzhang Village saw that the three brothers of the Xiang family had entered the passage, and they couldn't help but get anxious.

They thought of Old Man Xiang again, if Old Man Xiang was here, he would definitely take them into the city together, but Old Man Xiang was driven away by Old Man Xiang and his whereabouts are still unknown.

"Hey, it would be nice if the old man of the Xiang family was here, we should have chosen the old man Xiang to be the chief."

"What's the use of talking about this now, let's find a way to get silver, otherwise it's not starving to death."

There was a crying sound from the front, and the hungry people who had no household registration or no money wanted to break in, but they were beaten mercilessly by the officials, and the sound of whipping into the flesh, hearing the hair of the people standing up, they all quickly hid back.

Xiang Laosan and Lao Lichang used all their strength to run to the city gate in one breath, and sure enough, the city gate was wide open, and he was about to go in happily, but was stopped.

"Household Register"

Xiang Laosan hurriedly took out the household registration and handed it over, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate took a closer look at the household registration, well~ It came from Xiangzhang Village, and that was the place where the six princes disappeared.

"Have you ever seen this person?"

The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate took a portrait for Xiang Laosan to see, and Xiang Laosan looked at it, and the portrait was a boy wearing a purple and gold robe, a purple and gold crown, a face like a full moon, and eyes like stars.

This face seems to have been seen anywhere, but such a noble and luxurious dress has really never been seen, Xiang Laosan shook his head, just look at this dress, the person in the portrait must be a royal family, where can they meet such a person.

The officers and soldiers carefully looked at the facial expressions of Xiang Laosan and saw that they were all confused, so they put away the portraits, returned the household registration to Xiang Laosan and said: "Five taels of silver for one person entering the city." ”

Xiang Lao San was taken aback, and hurriedly defended: "Official, we came over from that side just now, and we have already given the official twenty-five taels of silver." ”

"That's over there, this side is this side, if you don't give it, if you don't give it, get out of the way." The officers and soldiers are impatient, there are officials over there, but here they are guarded by the government soldiers, who will do anything without money.

Xiaoshu took out a letter of recommendation from his sleeve pocket, and said clearly: "Official, I am a child who went to the provincial capital to take the Xiucai exam, and I have a letter of recommendation from Qingshan Academy, please give it a convenience." ”

The officers and soldiers were stunned, and Tong Sheng, who was taking the test for Xiucai, rolled his eyes and smiled: "It turns out that there are still scholars here, but Tong Sheng is still a little weaker. ”

Xiang Laosan gritted his teeth, took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the officers and soldiers, and went to the city without a sound.

"San'er, your mother and I still have fifty taels of silver here, first find a place to live, and then find a place to test Xiucai, you have to let Shu'er study quietly." The eldest daughter-in-law said.

When Xiang Laosan heard this, his nervous heart suddenly relaxed, and he was extremely glad that he took his father and mother with him, otherwise he really wouldn't have any money to live.

Xiang Lao Er caught up with Xiang Lao San, but stopped outside the city, he had already broken the heart of the third child in order to grab the position of the chief, and used the death of the fourth daughter to deceive the Xiang family silver to chill the hearts of the old couple and the two couples.

Now that he has abandoned his wife and daughter, no one will look at him again, even if it is their second grandson sitting on the cart.

Xiang Lao Er still has a few taels of silver in his pocket, and it is absolutely impossible to enter the city, seeing Xiang Lao who was standing at the city gate in a daze, his eyes rolled and he walked up.

Originally, Boss Xiang was still thinking about whether to enter the city, and he had also hidden nearly fifty taels of silver over the years, and he spent twenty-five taels just now, and now there are twenty-five taels left.

Seeing Xiang Lao Er walking towards him, he hurriedly took out the last twenty-five taels of silver and household registration, and fled into the city, Xiang Lao Er was angry, and he didn't dare to make trouble at the city gate, so he could only leave with hatred.

The provincial city is indeed much better than the provincial city, although it is also short of water and food, but the governor is obviously smarter than the prefect, and he knows how to appease the people.

The old man was old and refined, and he aimed at an officer and soldier, took out two taels of silver and sent it over, just to introduce them to a better place to live, and there were children in the family who wanted to take the Xiucai exam, and only these officers and soldiers knew where it was suitable for them to live.

The officers and soldiers' eyes lit up when they saw the silver, and it happened that his aunt had a yard to rent, and now the silver was not worth much, and he could exchange the yard for some rice and grain if he rented it out.

"I do have a place to live here, but I get five taels of silver a month, and I still have a month's rent, if you want, I can take you to see it."
