Chapter 142 Enter the city to buy

Su Qin shook his head again, "Go secretly? Then how will the extra things get through when we come back?"

Shui Ling curled her lips irritably, "We are not their parents, we still have to care about their life and death."

"Can it be done no matter what? If you don't say anything else, it will be difficult for you psychologically." Su Qin sighed.

The family of three looked sad and couldn't think of a good solution.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Shui Dongliu's energetic voice came in, "Are you at home?"

Shui Ling hurriedly opened the door and said, "Grandpa."

"Hey." Shui Dongliu walked in with his hands behind his back and found that the atmosphere in the room was not right, so he looked solemn and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shui Zheran told the whole story.

Shui Dongliu stroked his beard, sat down at the Eight Immortals Table, and said: "It's a problem, people. We can unite as one when facing difficulties, but we start to have small thoughts on smooth days."

Shui Zheran nodded, "Yes, grandpa, do you think we should go quietly or..."

Shui Dongliu thought for a while and said: "Let's go secretly this time. Just say that the county magistrate is merciful and only allows you and your family to go. When you come back, remember to report the prices. When you go again next year, bring a few with you."

Reliable.”

"Sure, then we'll go secretly." Shui Zheran nodded.

Shui Ling wanted to laugh. Sure enough, a family with an old man is like a treasure. If there are any extra things in the house in the future, he can use the excuse that he bought them from Fucheng Travel Merchant.

After the family discussed it, Shui Dongliu said: "By the way, I have something to do with you."

"What's going on?" Shui Zheran looked at him and asked.

"Please help me find out what kind of work I can do besides farming. Now I am farming to fill my stomach. When I am not hungry, I still have to work to make money. Otherwise, I will have to use grain to buy a needle, thread, and brain." Shui Dongliu said.

.

Shui Zheran thought of those drawings, but he didn't say, "Okay, I'll go take a look."

"Well, okay, you guys are busy, I'm going back." Shui Dongliu said.

Shui Ling happened to bring a glass of peach juice over, "Grandpa, do you think I'm slow and angry because I haven't served tea for a long time?"

Shui Dongliu took the juice angrily, took a sip, and then pushed the bamboo cup to her, "Girl, no one dares to tease you. This juice is quite delicious. Okay, okay, go ahead."

He clasped his hands behind his back and walked back humming a tune.

Su Qin looked at Shui Zheran and said, "It's just afternoon now. How about we go to Fucheng? Stay one night and then come back."

"Okay, let's go." Shui Zheran couldn't stay still, and there was nothing going on at home.

Su Qin nodded, "I'll add some food to the chickens and ducks."

Shui Ling also said: "I'm going to see Wangcai, but he has to stay and look after the house."

After the family settled the matter, they drove the ox cart to the county seat. Shui Zheran found the master and gave him ten eggs. After registering, he couldn't wait to drive to the county seat.

A normal ox-cart ride from the county seat to the capital city takes half a day, but Hercules is no ordinary ox, and can run faster than a horse on uninhabited roads.

Finally, when we approached Fucheng, we slowed down because there were so many villages and we couldn't walk very far on the road before meeting people.

Su Qin touched his lower back and said, "I strongly urge to buy a horse carriage. This carriage will probably be broken on the return trip.

Shui Zheran nodded, "Yes, I must buy it."

Shui Ling touched her buttocks and saw that they were almost in four pieces. It was covered with a thick quilt.

There was an old man driving a bullock cart on the road. There were many people in the cart. The two carts were facing each other. They were probably going back to the village.

The old man saw Hercules' eyes light up and said, "Oh, this cow is great. Didn't it cost a lot of money?"

Shui Zheran smiled and said, "I raised it myself."

"Tsk, tsk, you really know how to serve, not bad, not bad." The old man was very curious. "Will you mate?"

The smile on Shui Zheran's face froze, and he said awkwardly: "There is something wrong with this cow and it is not worthy of it. It may be because of this that it eats more and grows bigger."

"It's such a pity." The old man's eyes turned around his cow. The cow trembled and immediately threw off its hooves and ran away.

Shui Zheran didn't pay attention. What's the point of chatting with him as he passed by? Besides, all good cows are liked by bankers.

They didn't dare to speed up and could only walk slowly. As a result, it took half an hour to walk this short distance.

The words "Luohe City" were written above the huge city gate, and at the lower door stood four soldiers with spears in their hands and a small leader wearing chain mail and a broadsword.

The little boss shouted: "Hurry up, prepare cash, two cents per person, the door will be closed when the sun sets, but it doesn't matter whether you want to go out or go in."

Su Qin whispered: "I once read in a novel that there was a charge for entering the city. It turns out it's true."

Shui Ling covered her mouth with her hands and said: "It's all corrupt officials who do this. Let the strong men change their bodies, like those of the old, weak, sick and disabled."

"Well, if you are so fat and strong, don't let others snatch you away." Su Qin gave Shui Zheran a wink.

Shui Zheran jumped out of the car and lay down next to Hercules and muttered for a while. Hercules reluctantly became smaller and thinner, almost like the cow he met just now.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, they were lined up, and the three of them happily handed over the guide. There was a small piece of silver leaf in the guide, about half a penny.

The little boss opened the road and looked at it. He glanced at the family of three before holding the silver leaf in his hand and said, "Okay, go in, but you must leave before dark tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, yes." Shui Zheran took back the road guide and pulled the bullock cart in.

Su Qin and Shui Ling both used cosmetics to darken their faces to make them look inconspicuous. After all, none of the villagers were fair and tender.

After entering the city, the three of them sighed that the city was huge. There was a long street at the entrance, with shops on both sides, and then there were residential buildings.

The three of them found the Sihai Inn closest to the city gate and asked for an ordinary room for 500 wen per night, which was half a tael of silver.

After putting down the ox cart, they started shopping. This place was much more prosperous than the county town, and there were many traveling merchants setting up stalls in the corners beside the city wall.

Basically, each person has a carriage, and the goods are placed on the tarpaulin on the ground, so you can look at them as you like.

These traveling merchants all wore fur coats, big fur hats, and scarves covering their faces. They dug their hands into their sleeves and stamped their feet to keep warm.

Shui Ling looked around and found nothing he liked. Su Qin bought a mirror, a wooden comb and other gadgets, intending to use them in the new house. He couldn't go into the space to organize them every time in the future.

Shui Zheran saw a seller selling dry goods, so he shouted: "Daughter-in-law, there are dry goods here. Take a look and see what you want to eat."

This voice shouted loudly, and as a result, it attracted the envious eyes of many young girls and young wives. When their eyes fell on Su Qin, they turned into contempt.

Su Qin noticed this and glanced at Shui Zheran secretly, "From now on, you should also draw uglier."

Shui Zheran scratched his head, wondering how he had offended his wife, but she had to listen to what she said, so he nodded immediately, "Okay."

Shui Ling came to the stall and saw a middle-aged man selling goods, squatting there and huddled up.
