Maybe the court doesn't collect taxes anymore, or maybe the autumn harvest is over. Whatever the reason, after Chongyang, several families in the village began to give their children family affairs.

People who have worked hard for more than half a year gradually loosened the tight string at this time, began to visit relatives and friends, and were also busy with the affairs of the children at home.

Yun Xue's family has come to several houses in the past two days, and they all have some thoughts about Yun Zhen. Yun Xue also asked Yun Zhen privately, knowing that he didn't want to talk about family affairs now, so he could only politely refuse these people who came to the door. Yun Xue couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that she has a good brother in her family, and she can also attract so many daughters' relatives to come.

In order to avoid these people, Yun Xue took her younger siblings to the state city. First, the family still wants to buy some food, and secondly, Yuxiang and Meiyu's family affair has been decided, and Yunxue also wants to buy something as a gift. The third is naturally autumn, and the big guys have nothing to do when they are idle, so it is better to take the younger siblings out to play.

So, early in the morning of September 12, the family took an ox cart and went to the state city. Except for Yun Zhen Tianfu, the rest have never been to the state city. Along the way, Yun Ting and Yun Lei were so excited that they couldn't wait to open their throats and sing.

The ox cart swayed to the state city, and Xiao Yunxia sat on the car, with a piece of leather under her, which was cold. The little guy is wearing a red jacket and pants today, and his little face is pink and white, and with that pair of round big eyes and a red and glamorous mouth, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a doll in a New Year's painting, which is very attractive. At this time, the little guy was staring around, looking at the passing vehicles very curiously, clapping his hands from time to time, and giggling.

"The crazy little girl, when you go out, you are happy like this." Yun Xue stretched out her hand and hugged Yun Xia's body, "Be careful, don't fall." Yun Xue turned her head and looked at Yun Ting and Yun Lei, "You two should be careful, there are a lot of cars coming and going on this road, so sit still." ”

"Eldest sister, don't worry, we'll be careful." Yun Ting laughed.

The journey was quite smooth, everyone ate some dry food at noon, rested on the side of the road for a while, and then continued to walk to the state city. When they arrived in Shen Shizhong, they finally arrived at the state city, Yun Ting and Yun Lei looked at the towering city gate, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, what a high city wall, much higher than the county seat, and there are many city gates." ”

Yun Xue couldn't help but shake her head, it seemed that she really had to take them out, and the provincial people were so surprised to even see a city wall. "Alright, let's go into the city."

When they crossed the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city came forward to interrogate them according to the rules, and then let them into the city. Yun Xue and Yun Zhen have been here several times, so they naturally know where to go, so they found a small inn that is not bad. They'll have to stay tonight and go shopping tomorrow.

This Fulai Inn Yunxue has lived in before, and the inside is quite clean. Xiao Eryi looked at the person, and greeted him with a smile on his face, "How many people, are you going to be a tip or live in a hotel?" ”

"Staying in the hotel, also sharpening." Yun Zhen returned.

"Okay, a few people, please, our Tianzi No. 2 kang is relatively large. A few of you look like a family, just live in it, and you don't have to squeeze the Chase shop with others, what do you think? "Little twenty very enthusiastic.

Yun Xue nodded, "Okay, let's just Tianzi No. 2." "This is the best, I don't feel at ease when I live separately, the Chase shop is too crowded. You can spend a few more bucks, but it's safer.

"Come on, come with me." Xiao Er led in front, and the group followed behind, heading straight to Tianzi No. 2. The ox cart was led to the backyard by a special guy and properly settled.

When he came to the No. 2 room of Tianzi, Xiao Er hurriedly opened the door and let Yun Xue and the others in. Sure enough, there was a big kang in the house, and there was a stack of bedding on the tip of the kang, all of which were very clean. Yun Xue looked at it and thought it was okay, "Okay, forget it here." Little two, how much is a night? ”

"Tianzi No. 2, five hundred dollars a night. Guest, how many nights are you going to stay? Xiao Er hurriedly replied.

"Two nights, then, this is two taels of silver, in addition to the money for the hotel, and then buy us some dinner, and send it over later." Yun Xue took a piece of broken silver and threw it to Xiao Er.

Xiao Er happily took the silver, and then prepared a meal.

"Okay, come in and rest for a while, you've been wandering around the ox cart all day, and it's enough for you to be tired." Yun Xue picked up Xiao Yunxia and put her on the kang. This little guy is really in good spirits, and he didn't sleep all the way. "Yunxia, let's eat, let's sleep again?" Yun Xue was afraid that Yunxia would want to sleep as soon as she got on the kang.

"Hey." Yunxia took off her shoes by herself, and then ran back and forth on the kang, without any intention of being sleepy.

There was ready-made water in the house, and several people washed their hands and faces, and then sat on the kang and talked.

After a while, Xiao Er outside the house shouted, "A few guest officers, the meal is ready, may I ask if you want to eat in the house or go to the front lobby to eat?" ”

Yun Xue thought about it, and it was better to eat in the house, which would be more convenient. So, Xiao Er brought the food into the house, and everyone had a good meal.

Yun Zhen was idle, and wanted to go to the front to have a look, Yun Xue naturally did not object, several boys had the ability to protect themselves, and Yun Zhen came several times. "Be careful not to go far, come back early, there is a curfew at night. This is not our village, and you can't walk around at will. After a few words, I let them go out to play.

Sister Yunxue was sitting in the room resting, and Xiao Yunxia was sleepy at this time, shouting to sleep. Yunxue hurriedly laid out the futon and coaxed Yunxia to sleep. The little guy was really sleepy, and he fell asleep after lying down, and Yun Xue and Yun Ni sat on the kang, looking at Yun Xia and talking at the same time.

In the middle of the unitary hour, Yun Zhen and the others came back, but they didn't go far, but they came back after listening to the storyteller in the lobby in front. "Eldest sister, we just heard that when the new emperor ascended the throne, he not only exempted the peasants from taxes for three years, but also exempted the merchants from taxes for three months. Now everyone is praising the new emperor for caring for the people, and he is a generation of masters. Yun Ting told Yun Xue the news he had just heard.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has always been heavy on agriculture and suppressed commerce, and heavy taxes were imposed on merchants. Although it was only exempted from taxes for three months, it was enough to make these merchants talk about it. It is said that there is no business and no wealth, no agriculture is unstable, and the imperial court attaches great importance to agriculture and can take some care of commerce. It seems that this new emperor may really be able to do something.

After all the chaos, people today are looking forward to living a stable and prosperous life. Now it depends on how the imperial court deals with the problem on the other side of the river, if this can be solved, the people will really be able to live a good life in the future.

Yun Xue was also very happy when she thought of this, "Okay, let's go to bed quickly." Tomorrow, let's take a good look around the city and buy more things to go home. ”

Although we didn't walk that day, we were more tired than walking after wandering on the ox cart all day. So they took off their clothes and went to bed, and in a short time they were all asleep.

The next day, everyone got up and had breakfast, and then went to the state city to wander around. The state city was originally relatively prosperous, and now that the autumn harvest has ended, many farmers around it have also been idle, and many people want to go into the city to go around. Therefore, on the streets of this state city, there are a lot of people coming and going, and it is very lively.

Among the bustling crowd, there were many women, all dressed beautifully, following their families and looking around together. In this way, the Yunxue sisters are not so eye-catching, so Yunxue is also relieved and bold to lead Yunni to pick and choose goods on the street.

"Yun Zhen, a few of you help me watch, if there are pears and hawthorns, remember to call me. We'll have to buy some pickled cabbage. "The boys were in good spirits and asked them to help pay attention.

"Sister, it's just a spicy cabbage, and you still want to put fruit in it? What a waste, right? Yun Ni looked disapproving.

"It's okay, I don't need a few, buy some, and I'll go back and give you the rest to eat." Yun Xue smiled, but she didn't care. "Let's go, let's go to the silk village first, my aunt's family is going to have a happy event, we have to prepare some good things." Yun Xue hugged Yun Xia, and together with Yun Ni, entered a silk village with a large storefront. As for Yun Zhen, a few were wandering around the neighborhood and did not follow up.

Yun Xue entered the store and looked around, and couldn't help but secretly admire, it was really a state city, compared to the things in the county, how could it be a grade higher? The goods in this shop are good in color, new in pattern, and the materials are excellent.

In a woman's nature, there is shopping, and Yunxue is no exception. Seeing these fabrics, Yun Xue felt that her eyes were a little insufficient, and she looked at everything very well. However, there are still a lot of fabrics at home, which are enough for daily life, but there is no need to add anything. So Yun Xue calmly chose a few pieces of red satin, and also chose a pair of quilts embroidered with dragon and phoenix auspicious patterns, and a pair of quilts embroidered with a hundred children. These are left to add makeup to Meiyu, or to the Wu family, and they can definitely be taken out.

The guys in the store saw that Yun Xue had chosen so many things, and they couldn't close their mouths with joy, so they helped Yun Xue wrap all these fabrics very quickly, "This girl, I don't know where the house is?" Why don't you let the guy send it over? It's a lot of trouble for you to hold it like this. ”

Yun Xue shook her head, "No need, we don't live in the state city, there are still people outside, just let them take it, thank you little brother." Yun Xue took the stack of fabrics, and then handed the silver to the man.

The guy hurriedly went to settle the account, and then found the rest of the money to Yun Xue, and sent Yun Xue out of the door of the store, and greeted them very warmly next time.

It happened that Yun Zhen and the others were not far from the door, and Yun Xue beckoned them to come over and help with the fabrics.

"Eldest sister, there are pears and hawthorns in front of you." Tianfu hurriedly said.
