After waiting for about an hour, officers and soldiers came over to lead everyone into the city.
The column where Liujiacun was located was ranked first. After several concessions, Liu Xingzhi and others lined up behind the first-class officers. Seeing this, the officers and soldiers were a little bit confused because of the clothes of the Liujiacun people.
Contempt disappears in an instant, and the respectful attitude can no longer be respectful.
Except for Yunxi, the people of Liujia Village all followed behind with confused and uneasy expressions. On the contrary, Xu Dashu and others looked arrogant. Thinking that they had already become brothers with the emperor, this small scene was nothing.
When others saw them like this, they became even more convinced that this group of people had an unusual identity.
Yun Xi, who understood all this, was holding back laughter and had a stomachache.
After entering the city, those families had already prepared their accommodation, and of course they tried their best to invite the people from Liujia Village to come with them. However, Liu Xingzhi knew about his family's situation, so they shied away from each other, and the other party gave some more things, and then they separated.
When they all left, Liu Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Yun Xi had the urge to laugh again.
"It's so funny and you can eat some cloth for free, isn't it?" Liu Xingzhi hummed twice, picked out a set of silver-headed noodles from the gifts, handed it to Yun Xi and said, "You love my jokes so much.
It’s a shame that I was thinking of getting something to give to you!”
Yun Xi coughed sheepishly and hurriedly changed the subject: "Do you know those people? It seems that you prefer to get along with Li Xi!"
Liu Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, "You can actually see it!" He felt that he had never behaved particularly well, but he didn't expect it to be seen. "Then Li Xi was originally a child from a poor family. He relied on his military exploits to reach where he is now step by step.
situation, but do not want to be harmed by traitors.
He only had one son, who was only a few years old. After his death, his wife and children were bullied and finally committed suicide together by throwing themselves into a well. The old woman starved to death. It was a sad ending for a generation of famous people. Seeing him,
I can't help but think about his family's future. Thinking about it makes me feel unbearable.
As for the other two families, the first-rank official is the King of Guangshan. He is hereditary and has no ability, but he is very happy with his achievements. Later, many people were killed, and the reputation of the other one is not good."
"In this case, why do you still accept their things?" Yun Xi was slightly stunned.
"There is no conflict between disliking and receiving gifts!" Liu Xingzhi smiled mockingly, "It's all about the people, I'm just collecting some interest for the people!"
After saying that, he changed the topic and seemed unwilling to say more!
Yun Xi frowned slightly, always feeling that there was some story behind this. She didn't know what happened to the other person in his previous life. She was curious about the circumstances under which he was reborn.
"San'er, where will we stay tonight?"
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Mr. Liu looked at the crowd with some embarrassment. With so many people, they couldn't sleep on the street. This was a city, and it couldn't be as casual as in the mountains.
"I just learned about it from Li Xi. It is said that our special wooden sign can go to the post house to change rooms for free. Although it is a little short, we can't make do with a bunkhouse on the floor!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. I don’t know how many times I slept in the open air. If you have a house to live in, what else can you choose!
Liu Xingzhi led everyone forward, passing by a row of luxurious inns and hotels, and even a brothel. After walking for half a stick of incense, he found a two-story building at the end.
The small building is made of earth and looks very dilapidated. It is already evening, only the lights are on in the lobby, the rest is dark, and it is obvious that no one lives there!
After everyone entered, they saw a person who looked like a waiter, casually wiping the table. When he saw someone coming in, he just raised his head and glanced up. After seeing the appearance of everyone clearly, he continued to clean the table without any intention of paying attention.
"Waiter, we want to stay here! Come and say hello!" Seeing that he didn't respond, Liu Shilang took a step forward, blocked the waiter, and said dissatisfied: "We are guests, and this is how you treat guests?"
The waiter rolled his eyes and said, "Twenty coppers a night, no food included. If you want to stay, you have to pay first!" After that, he walked around him and continued to clean the table.
Liu Xingzhi took a look at the environment. Although it was shabby, it was still clean and tidy. This showed that the waiter was not lazy, maybe he just didn't believe that they had money to stay in the hotel.
"Show him the sign!" He gestured to Liu Shilang, and Liu Xingzhi looked at the room with a faint figure inside, his eyes revealing his thoughts.
Hearing this, the waiter raised his head, and an old man walked out of the room. The old man looked about sixty years old, and he looked quite kind. His navy blue robe looked a little worn, but it was better than clean.
After the old man came out, his eyes swept over everyone, and then he fell on the sign in Liu Shilang's hand and looked surprised.
"Special wooden sign?" The old man was only surprised for a moment, then he calmed down and said with a smile: "I haven't seen it for many years! This wooden sign looks very new, I guess I just got it!"
After saying that, he told the waiter: "Pour some tea for all our guests, see if there is anything else to eat in the kitchen, and prepare some too!"
When he saw clearly who was coming, Liu Xingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly glanced at his hand. He saw that the man had a little finger on his thumb, which was a rather unusual six-finger!
There are many rumors about the six fingers in Aoyun Kingdom. The biggest rumor is that it is related to a certain high-ranking official. It is said that it is a symbol of wisdom and courage.
Others also noticed this, but quickly looked away.
The old man seemed to have been looked at too much, but he didn't care and still looked at everyone with a smile on his face.
"Old man, haven't people with wooden signs like this come here before? Are you stupid if you don't take advantage of it?" Liu Silang looked at the old man curiously. Didn't he say that this thing can be changed to a new place for free? No one came here.
live?
The old man paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "I'm a sweetheart. My surname is Tan. You can call me Shopkeeper Tan! As for this little brother's question, I don't know how to answer you. I get it every year.
I have been the shopkeeper for thirty years and this is the second time I have seen this kind of wooden sign maker in this post house!"
After saying that, he poured tea for Liu Sanye and others with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Everyone should have seen many inns along the way. The expensive ones cost ten taels of silver a night, and the cheap ones cost fifty coins. However,
For those who can get this kind of wooden sign, not to mention dozens of coins, hundreds of coins, just dozens of taels of silver, that's nothing. Naturally, they would rather live in a good place than come to my place.
To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the occasional poor families who come to live here, and if some money is allocated from above, my post house would not be able to sustain it long ago!" Shopkeeper Tan has nothing to be embarrassed about. This is the fact, you can see it.
