"Now that I've apologized, sister-in-law, it's time for you to think of a way, right?"
After apologizing, Li Youmei immediately said that if she couldn't think of a way to do it later, she would know where to put her old face, and she would know how to become a sister-in-law in one day.
"Is there anything else we need to think of? Didn't the guard brother tell me? Two taels of silver per family." Ye Chuqiu said calmly: "Bring the money, and we can go in."
"I have two taels of silver, why do I need to run away?"
As soon as she heard this, Li Youmei jumped to her feet. If she had money, she would not be in this situation.
"Then there's nothing we can do." Ye Chuqiu spread his hands.
"You have no choice, but I have a way. The three of us have no money, but we can use your cattle to pay for it. Anyway, we are outside the city. If we encounter the rebels, the cattle may also be snatched by them. Or
Why don't you use it to pay the entrance fee?" Li Youmei rolled her eyes and said.
"Second brother and sister, you are so smart. How do you have such a brain? You can come up with such a wicked idea."
Ye Chuqiu sneered. She had to pay the city fee for the big scalper she finally got back. How is that possible?
After entering the city, it is not necessarily possible to live and work in peace and contentment. Didn't you see that people in the city are fleeing? After entering the city, they can only try to find some food, which is not worth taking her as a cow.
Of course, she didn't need to say this. Lin Qingyun had already pointed at his mother-in-law and started scolding her, "You silly woman, you came to the city to have a full meal. How many full meals can this cow give us?"
Li Youmei didn't say a word, but she thought to herself, I'm not stupid. No matter how valuable this cow is, it doesn't belong to our family.
"Okay, you go over there and wait for me under the shade of the trees, and I'll give it a try."
"Mom, I'll go with you." Lin Dahu said quickly.
"No, one more person means more trouble. Just take care of them and wait until mother comes back."
Ye Chuqiu said, patting the dust on his body and smoothing the frizzy hair on his head, then Shi Shiran walked to the city gate.
"Hey, you old lady, have you prepared the money to go to the city?"
Due to the previous quarrel with Ye Yaozu, the guard recognized her. When he saw her coming, he didn't beat her with a big stick, but he stopped in front of her and refused to let her in.
"Master Guard, I was invited by your city lord's wife."
Ye Chuqiu said, flipping his hand, a beautiful rose appeared out of thin air, "Such a beautiful flower, it will look great on Madam's head. There has been a drought for many years. Apart from me, you can't find it anywhere else."
There are no such beautiful flowers.”
"Hey, you old lady, how did you conjure up these flowers?" The guard was amazed when he saw the flowers that suddenly appeared in her hand.
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, I have the ability. Let me go in. I will see my wife later and I will get a reward, which will definitely be your share." Ye Chuqiu raised his eyebrows and said.
The two guards looked at this skinny and ordinary old lady, and they actually saw a little bit of the temperament of an outsider in her. After all, wouldn't an ordinary old farm lady just nod and bow when she saw them?
But she stood upright, neither humble nor arrogant. More importantly, she became good at magic tricks, and the flowers in her hands were indeed beautiful. The ladies in the city would definitely like them.
"Okay, I'll let you in, but if you get a reward later, don't forget about my two brothers." the guard said.
In fact, although the prefect has said that refugees will not be allowed to enter, it is not up to the two brothers to decide who is a refugee.
"Brother, don't worry."
Ye Chuqiu said, bowing slightly to them, then collected the flowers and entered the city.
Her move made the guards dumbfounded again. Someone nearby saw Ye Chuqiu entering and boldly came forward. However, the guard's face changed, "This old lady is a capable person. You want to enter the city?"
, do you have anyone with that ability?"
"Get out of here, or I'll make you look good!"
Li Youmei has been paying attention here. After seeing Ye Chuqiu enter, she was about to come over. When she saw the guard's posture, she became angry, but she was wondering in her heart, "Hey, what did Ye Chuqiu say to the guard? Why did you just let him go?"
She went in."
No matter what they were thinking, Ye Chuqiu entered the city smoothly.
Yesterday, the city was looted by rebels. Today, the streets are still a bit messy. There are very few people setting up stalls. The streets seem a bit deserted. Although entry and exit are prohibited in the city, there are still many beggars staying on the streets.
It's not that Ye Chuqiu can't do begging, but it's just not to that point.
She signed another flower this morning. Although this flower is of no use to her, she can sell it to the rich people in this city.
Although it is said that there is a drought and the life of the common people is miserable, this has nothing to do with the rich people. They should be able to enjoy the good things and the good things.
Some businessmen even took advantage of the drought to hoard and make a fortune by selling grain.
Ye Chuqiu's goal is to sell the two flowers in her hand to rich people.
According to the memory of the original owner, she walked to the wealthy area in the south of the city and found no water. She took out her handkerchief, wiped her face thoroughly, combed her hair again with her fingers, and then knocked on the door.
She was rejected by the first few households, but she didn't panic and kept knocking until she arrived at Tong Zhi's door.
"I'm selling flowers, I'm selling flowers, beautiful flowers, they look as beautiful as gods when you wear them~"
Ye Chuqiu raised his voice and shouted at the side door of Tongzhi's house. After a while, a pretty maid came out and asked, "What kind of flowers are you selling?"
"Look at the roses, girl."
Ye Chuqiu showed her the rose in his hand. Although the system was very stingy and didn't even give her a bag of flour for two days in a row, it had to be said that the product produced by the system must be a high-quality product. This rose was really beautiful.
, delicate and charming.
"Yes, our lady wants it, how much does it cost?" The maid was quite satisfied with the flowers.
"Two taels of silver." Ye Chuqiu said.
"What?" The maid frowned, "It's just a rose, how can it be worth two taels of silver? You old lady, do you think I'm young and easy to bully?"
"Girl, don't be angry. Although my roses are a little expensive, there is no third one in the entire Lusu City, not even the eldest lady from the prefect's family next door." Ye Chuqiu said with a smile: "Your lady.
If she wears it, she will definitely be the most beautiful woman in the city."
"Hey, our young lady is as beautiful as a fairy." The maid said proudly.
"In that case, I will go to the prefect's house next door." Hearing this, Ye Chuqiu said goodbye.
"Hey, you old lady, I didn't say I wouldn't buy it from you."
Seeing Ye Chuqiu's attitude, the maid became anxious and stopped her, saying, "Just wait here, I'll go back and ask the lady."
"Okay, I'll just wait here for good news." Ye Chuqiu said with a smile on his face.
