Chapter 88 Asking for directions

Chapter 88 Asking for Directions

When I moved to the gate of Heishui Town, I saw an official collecting the entrance fee.

Yang Xiuwen stopped the carriage and stepped forward to ask: "Brother, how much money does it cost to enter the city? Can we go in together with the carriage?"

"Where are you from? Where are you going? Take a look at the roadmap and household registration." A young man in his twenties who was wearing different clothes from the others on the left immediately perked up when he heard his question.

"Hello, my lord, my surname is Yang. I am from Ping Province. Last year, I returned to the capital with my family. This time I am going to take my younger brothers and sisters south to visit my ancestors." Yang Xiuwen told the official what had been discussed in advance.

, I felt so good that I took out the household registration and road guide in my hand, and also stuffed a handful of copper coins into the officer's hand.

Yang Xiuwen originally wanted to take some silver coins, but his sister stopped him and only gave him a handful of copper coins.

The little girl said that she grabbed a lot from the money bag, but in fact it was not much. If she grabbed a big handful, there could be thirty at most, but thirty or so of her colleagues would look like a small pile, and it would look better.

The fact is just as Yang Yu said. When the officer saw the large amount of sympathy he handed over, he just looked at the road guide and said: "It costs two cents for a person to enter the city, and four cents for a carriage."

, you can go in after you pay the money."

"Okay, okay, thank you, there are three of us in a carriage." After Yang Xiuwen said it happily, he grabbed a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into the official's hand: "I don't know how many are here? If there are more, I will give them to a few.

Brother, let's have some tea, thank you, thank you!" Yang Xiuwen stuffed the money and immediately ran back to pull the carriage.

Their carriage did not have any magnificent decorations, it was just an ordinary curtain, so when the officials saw this somewhat shabby carriage, they did not feel that the copper coins were missing, and happily gave them to them.

aspect.

Luo Siyu looked at the operations of the two brothers and his sister, his strength was shining brightly: I learned it, I learned it. He was a little confused at first. What did Qingqing mean by grabbing those two handfuls of copper coins and giving them to her second brother?

After watching such a big drama, I finally realized that as expected, the brothers and sisters did not have a simple role. There was only something they didn't want to play, and there was nothing they couldn't do.

Luo Siyu planned to use the time in the car to read, study, or write big characters.

It's just that the road conditions are really bad so I can't write, but I can still read the text from the back of the book.

"Don't look at those useless ones. Look at those poems. If you become the emperor, will they be useful? Let me tell you, if you want to stand at the highest position, your little force value is not enough, and you have this

The stammering problem needs to be corrected. I have never heard of anyone who ascended the throne and became an emperor who stuttered?" Yang Yuqing looked at the book Luo Siyu was reading, then looked at the book in her hand, and directly put it in Luo Siyu's hand.

I grabbed the notebook.

Luo Siyu was a little helpless. This sister must have been bored in the car and wanted to find someone to play with him, otherwise she wouldn't be like this.

Where did he stutter? She was obviously able to handle speaking and doing things in front of other people at home, and she was straightforward. But the girl in front of her would feel hairy every time she was alone in a room with the little girl.

It was stumbling.

"I don't stutter, and even if I want to be the emperor, these poems and songs can be used to pass the time." Luo Siyu didn't want the little girl to say that she stuttered.

There is no emperor who stutters. This little girl is only thirteen years old. How many emperors has she seen? How dare she speak so brazenly.

"It's just that you are ten years old now. Shouldn't it be about the governance and security of the country? What's the use of these romantic poems? Is there anyone who would say that being an emperor still requires reciting poems?" Yang Yuqing was very surprised.

Puzzling.

The scene inside Blackwater Town is completely different from the outside. The hillside outside feels a bit desolate, and everything is dusty.

The drought has been over for so long, why is there no greenery here?

The county town was bustling with people coming and going, and there were villagers carrying baskets and baskets everywhere. It should be time to cook dinner at this time, so most of those who had gone to work had left work and were rushing in one by one.

I was going home for dinner and didn't pay much attention to these strangers.

Yang Xiuwen walked to an inn that looked relatively clean. As soon as they arrived at the door of the inn, the second brother came out very attentively to help them put the carriage money into the backyard: "Several young masters and ladies please come in. I don't know what the young master wants."

Are you staying in a hotel or eating?"

"Let's eat first. Open two adjacent rooms for us. Three barrels of hot water will be brought up in a while. After dinner, we have to wash up." Yang Xiuwen and Wang Xiaoer took two copper coins in his arms and finished the instructions.

Go directly to the lobby of the inn.

The place is very clean inside and out. Although the inn is not big, it looks clean and does not hinder their stay.

"Okay, sir, please give me your heartfelt invitation." The waiter welcomed the person into the house, waved his hand before entering, and asked the man in charge of the ox cart to take the cart and horses to the backyard.

"What do you want to eat? We have a sign at the counter. You can take a look." The second brother has been working here for so many years and has everything at his fingertips. But looking at the two guests in front of him, he has no intention of speaking.

No, he just shut up.

However, Yang Yuqing took out a small silver coin from her own space and placed it directly on the scene where the second brother was standing.

"We are from out of town, can you please tell us? What did the surrounding area do before? Or what did it do before we came here?"

"Sir, may I ask? I will definitely know that everything I say is not true." The waiter looked at the silver coin and immediately laughed. This small nail cost him more than half a year's salary. He is indeed rich.

Even if you give a reward to a servant, you can still get half a year's salary.

"I would like to know if there is a dock here or which town near here has a dock?" Yang Yuqing said directly without me going around the corner.

"Yes, yes, there is a pier to the east of this town. Some supplies from the south are transported there and sold here. There is a trip every ten days. Girl, you can go to the pier and have a look."

I heard it was such a simple thing, so I answered immediately.

As soon as the Yang Yuqing brothers and sisters heard about the ships from the south, their eyes immediately lit up. A ship like this that carries cargo only needs a few copper coins to hitch a ride?

Not only does it save time, but it also saves effort, which is a good choice.

"I know, thank you. You can use this to buy snacks. The dishes are ready to be served here." Yang Yuqing put the silver coin directly into the hand of the second brother, and then waved her hand to indicate that the dishes were ready to be served.

The news about the dock made her very excited. She had been here for so long, first by riding an ox-cart, and then by a horse-drawn carriage. Every time she traveled, she lost most of her life, but this boat was stable and stable.
