The line at the front began to move slowly, and there were messengers staring, and everyone consciously lined up and began to wait for a long time.

The ladies sitting in the carriage had no free time, and Mrs. Xiao and the others were busy collecting soles and making shoes.

Now I either walk or run every day, and the most expensive thing is shoes.

Xiao Youfu was bored waiting, so he simply beckoned Xiao Dalang to catch the car for him, and he took the opportunity to go to the front and back, looking for someone to chat and find out the news by the way.

Fortunately, it was summer, it was getting dark, and by the time it was their turn, it was already midday, and a row of torches was lit at the gate of the city, and it was still very bright.

Xiao Youfu and Master Wu took the household registration together and handed it to the inspecting officer.

When Master Wu handed over the household registration, he also stuffed two taels of silver ingots into the palm of the little official, and said with a smile: "It's so late, and it's hard for adults to work tirelessly to check the household registration, this is our little caution, please drink a cup of hot tea, and please mention a word or two to us." ”

The little official easily received the silver into his sleeve pocket, and the original face of the late lady is now much kinder.

A small official like them can only earn three taels of silver a month, and if they want to live well, they rely on the benefits they collect for their errands.

Especially now that the world is not peaceful, he wants to collect more money, but unfortunately there are too many people waiting outside, and he can't stop letting him in just for the sake of benefits.

Of course, there are a few people who have eyes and know to take the opportunity to stuff him with some benefit money.

The little official said to the errand officer on the side: "Abin, you and Zirong go and count, there are nine people in the Wu family and twelve people in the Xiao family." ”

When the servant had gone, he returned the household registration to them: "After entering, you can look for the old sprout, and if you need anything, just tell him." ”

Xiao Youfu also clenched his fists and looked grateful: "Thank you for mentioning it!" ”

After the inspection was completed and the fee for entering the city was paid, they also entered the county seat smoothly.

There were also a dozen idlers talking around there, and when they came in, a young man came up and asked, "What price do you want to stay in?" ”

Xiao Youfu swept around and said with a smile: "Little brother, what is the price of the inn?" We don't have a lot of money, is there a free place to borrow? ”

He deliberately didn't talk about Lao Miao first, because he was afraid that they would join forces to rip off customers, and he was afraid that he and others would be wronged.

The young man was asked a lot, and he said very fluently: "If it's free, just wait first, and when there are more people going there, someone will lead you to the north, where you don't need money, it's a little remote." ”

"The inn is a big shop, it is fifty wen a day, no tea is provided, a good room is five dollars of silver a day, and a small cross-courtyard, it is one or two silver a day, and you want to add money for hot water..."

Even if they were prepared in their hearts, they were still shocked by the price.

In the past, it only cost 10 yuan per person to live in a chase shop, but now it costs 50 yuan, which is a five-fold increase.

It is conceivable that other prices will definitely rise even more outrageously.

After Xiao Youfu inquired, he said with a smile: "The official in front asked us to come in to find Lao Miao, and I bothered the little brother to introduce us to us." ”

When the young man heard this, he glanced at him in surprise, and then shouted over there: "Master Miao, Lord Zhao asked you to help settle the guests!" ”

When a thin middle-aged man in the middle of the crowd heard this, he got up and said with a smile, "Those few will come with me?" ”

Then he asked, "How many days are you going to stay?" If you are going to stay for three or five days, it is more quiet and affordable to rent a small courtyard, and if you only stay for one night, then go to the inn to make do. ”

Master Wu smiled and clenched his fists: "We want to repair for a few days, may I ask Brother Miao, how to rent that small yard?" ”

Lao Miao looked kind: "Since Lord Zhao asked you to come to me, I definitely can't fool you, the small courtyard of the second entry is two taels of silver for three days, it's affordable enough, right?" ”

"It's affordable enough, I'm tired of Brother Miao leading us over!" Hearing his words, the two families who originally thought they would be slaughtered were secretly relieved.

Lao Miao was sitting on the wheel of the carriage in front of him, Xiao Youfu wanted to inquire more about him and went back to the carriage.

Xiao Xiao sat on his mule cart, poked his head out to look around, and by the light of the air death lamp, he found that the street was quite spacious, as far as the eye could see, most of them were dark, and only occasionally he could see a few places with bright light.

She retracted her head, leaned on Xiao Lian's shoulder and whispered, "Let's take a good bath today, and Ming'er can finally sleep peacefully." ”

Along the way, their mother and daughter simply slept on the mule cart at night, a little crowded, and did not dare to move, and often heard the wolf howl, and fell asleep unsteadily.

Xiao Lian rarely didn't push her away, but was worried: "I didn't expect silver to be so inhibitable, and it costs two taels for only three days, so it can be seen that the prices here must have risen sharply." ”

asked Liu, who was sitting opposite, "Mother, we have to have fifty or sixty catties of food left, right?" Ming'er doesn't need to buy too much, right? Anyway, everyone has said that if you go from here and walk for more than ten days, you will arrive in Jiangsu and Zhejiang! ”

Liu and his daughter explained in a low voice: "Master Wu's sister is over there, and she has to walk for more than ten days from Jiangsu and Zhejiang." ”

"In our little half a month, it hasn't rained, it's suitable for hurrying, if it rains, then it's delaying the days again, how can we prepare more food, be prepared."

After speaking, he said gently: "Okay, you don't have to worry about this, you all have your own money, Ming'er will go to the street to buy something you like." ”

Their money was still looted in the post station ten days ago.

Xiao Youfu was not stingy with his daughters, and asked them to leave two taels of silver each.

And Xiao Xiao didn't have a sense of security at that time, and secretly left two taels of silver, now she is the sister with the most money in the private house, hearing Liu's words, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva: "Ming'er, let's go buy meat, buy lo-mei to eat and beat the tooth sacrifice." ”

In fact, what she wants most is to go to the restaurant for a big meal.

It's sad to think about it, in the novels she used to read, others were not princesses, but also housekeepers, even if they were bad, they were also merchants' misses.

Even if she is a poor girl who dresses as the best, she can get rid of the best, and all kinds of opportunities continue, and she will soon be able to make a fortune and become well-off.

As for himself, he came to the epidemic, and he finally picked up a life, but he had to flee again.

Not to mention eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, it is not easy to even eat a meal of rice.

Although it doesn't eat chaff vegetables, it's too rough.

I pity myself now that I am hungry for meat and rice, which is really a shame for my compatriots.

The only thing that can make her happy is that she doesn't have the best in her house.

Besides, with a father like Xiao Youfu, even if he has the best in the family, I am afraid that he will be beaten to be well-behaved and obedient.

Xiao Youfu heard his youngest daughter's words, and gave his youngest daughter a tael of silver: "Buy whatever you want to eat." ”

It took about half an hour for them to get to the place.

The Xiao family lives in the front, the Wu family lives in the backyard, and the three Xiao sisters are also assigned a room.

Xiao Xiao went in and lit the oil lamp, and there was a bed inside, covered with straw mats, and a small table: "This is really simple enough, there is not even a stool." ”
