Another rising sun rose from the horizon in the east.

When Wu Haogu opened his eyes, it was already dawn.

There was a sound of mules and horses roaring outside the house. It was supposed to be that Wu Chengzhi had arrived from the mule hired by Mule Horses.

After returning home from Shangfang Temple yesterday, Wu Haogu packed his bags and carefully checked the calligraphy and paintings he was going to sell to Haizhou. He packed them one by one, put them in water-absorbing lime bags, and sealed the box.

In addition, he also prepared some clothes and dry food, and brought a lot of "private friends" - Guanjiaozi was the earliest banknote, but it was only circulated in Sichuan, while private friends were issued by the gold, silver and silk store and the temple's Changsheng Bank, which was a deposit and remittance voucher.

Wu Chengzhi also prepared a Japanese knife for his son to defend himself on the road. However, in Wu Haogu's opinion, the Japanese knife given by his father was too gorgeous, and it was simply "a fish skin with fragrant wood sheaths, yellow and white mixed croquettes and copper". He could sell at least 200 pieces at the Daxiangguo Temple market, and taking it out with him would be a sign of wealth.

However, Wu Haogu was not willing to refuse his father's kindness.

Last night, the Wu family and his son sat in the study and chatted until very late.

From the little things I have been talking about when I was a child, I have always talked about these days. I seem to have endless topics to talk about.

All the memories of this father in this life are like a tide, and they are pouring out in Wu Haogu's mind.

A warm feeling rose in my heart.

When Wu Haogu got up and got out of bed, walked out of the room to wash, Wu Chengzhi was already waiting for him in the hall.

"Dalang, the breakfast food is ready. Eat quickly and leave after eating." Wu Chengzhi said, "If you go out too late, you will have to queue up in the county government, I'm afraid you won't be on the turn until the afternoon."

Wu Haoqiu went to the county government office to apply for citations - citations are passes, road lines and other things. The Song Dynasty still managed population and goods flow, and tax cards were set up on all major transportation roads, and pedestrians had to use citations to pass.

The citations were issued by the county government where the household registration was located. Today, Wu Haogu would take the household registration to Kaifeng County Government to issue citations.

Like the later yamen, ordinary people would have to queue up when they went to Kaifeng County to do business.

"I know, the child will hire a donkey when he goes out and always arrives early."

"Have you brought the household book?"

"Um!"

"Take a few more silver jewels. If there are too many people, give Wang Aisi one. In addition, when you come back, go buy some coarse cloth clothes. When you go out, don't show off your wealth. Do you know?

By the way, this Japanese knife is too fancy and you have to wrap the scabbard with a sackcloth... Unfortunately, like your father, you are all powerless and cannot use the knife. But you can also scare the bad guys..."

When he was about to part with his son, Wu Chengzhi became a little nagging, and he talked endlessly, but Wu Haogu thought of his parents in his previous life, so he didn't do anything about them anymore.

Just when he was feeling uncomfortable, Feng Erniang suddenly pushed the door and said to Wu Haogu: "Dalang, Madam Pan is here."

"Miss Pan?" Wu Chengzhi was stunned, "That Madam Pan?"

"Sister Pan Shiba," Feng Erniang glanced at the "ex-husband" who was a little aware of it, and said with a smile, "Don't the official know that Sister Shiba is interested in Dalang?"

"Dalang and Pan Shiba..." Wu Chengzhi frowned and murmured, "I'm afraid I'm not worthy of it."

While Wu Chengzhi was still muttering to himself, Wu Haogu, who had finished washing, had already welcomed him out. When he arrived in the yard, he saw a graceful girl wearing a moon-white dress, standing gracefully in the gate, holding a book in his hand, smiling like a flower, very charming.

"Dalang, come here quickly."

Wu Haogu hurried forward, "Sister 18, why are you here?"

Pan Qiaolian waved the book in her hand, "What do you think is this?"

Wu Haogu looked closely and found that it was a household book.

"Is it a household registration?"

"It's the household registration," Pan Qiaolian asked with a smile, "Dalang, can you do your articles?"

"Written quote?" Wu Haogu said, "I haven't done it yet, I'll do it today."

"Then let's go together."

Wu Haogu said in surprise: "You are going to leave Kaifeng Mansion too? Where are you going?"

Pan Qiaolian said angrily: "Since I will go wherever Brother Dawu goes."

"That's going to leave Beijing with me?" Wu Haogu was overjoyed when he heard this. He might have to go to Haizhou on the next trip to Yangzhou. It will take several months to go back and forth. If he can't see Pan Qiaolian for such a long time, how can he not miss it?

If Pan Qiaolian could be with her, it would be great. But could Pan Xiao'an agree?

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu asked: "Brother Eleven promised us..."

"I agree very much!" Pan Qiaolian broke Wu Hao's ancient road with a red face, "I just want to visit my relatives in Qingzhou."

Going to Qingzhou to visit relatives? Is the Pan family members also in Qingzhou?

Wu Haogu didn't even point out Pan Qiaolian. If he could have a beauty accompanying him, he would be dissatisfied with him? He immediately greeted the house and accompanied Pan Qiaolian out.

There are two counties in Kaifeng Prefecture City, Kaifeng and Xiangfu, Kaifeng County is in the east and Xiangfu County is in the west. Pan Qiaolian's household registration is in Panjiayuan and is under the jurisdiction of Xiangfu County. If you want to apply for a citation, you should naturally go to Xiangfu County, but she and Wu Haogu went straight to Kaifeng County Government.

When I arrived outside the Kaifeng County Yamen, Wu Haogu remembered, "Eighteenth sister, it will be a bit over to go to Xiangfu County Yamen after the completion of the work here. I'm afraid I'll have to wait in line for a long time."

Pan Qiaolian asked back: "What are you doing when you go to Xiangfu County Government?"

Wu Haogu Yidai, "I'll give you a citation."

Pan Qiaolian smiled faintly: "It's here."

Can you write a citation of Xiangfu County in Kaifeng County? Is it possible to be "connected to the Internet"?

When Wu Haogu was really confused, a Kaifeng County Government Officer who was responsible for the contractual reasons had already come out. When he saw Pan Qiaolian, he bowed and said, "Isn't this Mrs. Pan? But I have to apply for the contractual reasons?"

Sister Pan Shiba kept helping his brother Pan Xiao'an run a gold, silver and silk transfer shop, so he naturally often signed contracts with others, and became familiar with the guards who were in charge of the contract in Kaifeng County.

"It's not a contract, it's a quote." Pan Qiaolian took out a silver skull and stuffed it over, "Gu Aishi, can you be assured?"

"Okay." Gu Aishi, who had collected the money, said with a smile, "But does Miss Pan want to write a citation?"

Pan Qiaolian smiled: "Don't Gu Aishi know that the slave's household registration is in Panjiayuan?"

"Yes, yes, Madam Pan is the girl of the general." Gu Aishi smiled all over his face, "Then today is..."

"It was for one of my cousins." Pan Qiaolian pointed to Wu Haogu beside her, "He is also my friend, and he also needs to apply for citations."

"Let's come over there."

Wu Haogu was confused when he heard this, but he still followed Pan Qiaolian and Gu Aishi into the hall.

This is the reason for handling the contract, and it is empty. Those who come to the county government office to handle the contract are big deals. Generally, they come to the government office after lunch and have enough food. It is still early now.

Gu Aishi was very respectful to Pan Qiaolian (he was the sister of the God of Wealth). After asking her and Wu Haogu to sit down, he went to pick up Wengui and sent him back.

"Brother Dawu, come first."

Pan Qiaolian asked Wu Haogu to do it first. Wu Haogu was not polite, so he took out the household registration book and opened it carefully.

The so-called household books are somewhat similar to books of this era. They are in a butterfly-shaped package - they fold the paper with words in half into the inside, then use the middle seam as the standard, put the page number on it, paste it on another pack of back paper, and then cut it into a book.

By the way, the thread-bound books have not been invented in this era. The unreliable butterflybound books are the mainstream, and there is also a kind of book called "whirlwind package" that is in the process of being eliminated.

Wu Haogu completed the household registration book and then said, "Kaifeng County, Wu Haogu, scholars, go to Huainan East Road to visit relatives."

He said this to increase taxes less. If he went out in the name of a calligraphy and painting merchant, the calligraphy and paintings he brought could not escape heavy taxes. If he was a scholar who visited his relatives, he could pay less passerby taxes.

"Okay." Gu Aishi quickly filled in a blank quotation and used a seal again.

Now it's Pan Qiaolian's turn. She also took out a household book, looked through it and handed it to Gu Aishi, "Kaifeng County, Pan family, small-size Jinlian, customer Jin Ping'er (Xiao Ping'er), go to Huainan East Road to visit relatives."

"very?"

Pan Qiaolian did not use her own name to quote her, but Gu Aishi didn't say anything, but Wu Haogu suddenly started calling.

"Eighteen, what are the small words you said?"

Pan Qiaolian smiled: "Jinlian, Pan Jinlian... When you leave Kaifeng Mansion, I will be Pan Jinlian!"

What? Pan Jinlian, Wu Dalang... This seems to be an ominous sign!
