Jinghong Tower

When they approached the county town, they all stayed outside the city. He Ran only let Xiaoli take the siblings into the county town.

While waiting, He Ran asked about the names of these girls. Most of the girls in the village had the surname Zhang. Among the five girls, four had the surname Zhang, and only one had a foreign surname, Huang. The siblings also had the surname Zhang.

The names of the girls are also very simple, such as Zhaodi, Xiaohua, Ermei, Chunjiao, and Erni. Only the names of the siblings are carefully thought out. The elder sister is named Zhang Jiahui and the younger brother is named Zhang Jiamin.

They are smart and sensitive. Just from these two names, you can tell what their family expects of them.

Who would have thought at that time that they would become homeless orphans before they grew up.

He Ran no longer remembered the appearance of the fat baby. She only remembered that he was wearing a silver collar and calling her aunt softly.

In the blink of an eye, the fat baby was buried in the wine shop that he had been proud of since he was a child.

Two hours later, Xiaoli and the siblings came back, bringing back a mule cart and a set of clothes for each of them.

Everyone changed their clothes. The young man Zhang Jiamin knew how to drive the cart. The girls got into the mule cart. The carriage was narrow, but none of them were fat. Six people could fit in it even if they were squeezed together.

Along the way, they encountered several tax cards that collected passerby money, even if they didn't have wine or vinegar, because they had mule carts.

As long as it is a cart, you will have to pay a passing fee, twenty cents for a carriage, fifteen cents for a mule cart and an ox cart, and ten cents for a donkey cart.

He Ran was a little curious because they came on horseback and no one asked them for passing money along the way.

“Why do you only need to pay for riding in a car, but why don’t you need to pay for riding a horse?”

Xiaoli didn't know about this kind of thing, but Zhang Jiamin knew about it.

"Because even if the riders are not in the military, they still have martial arts skills. People on the tax card dare not ask for money from them for fear of being whipped."

"Has someone whipped them?" He Ran was curious. He was so handsome, she liked him!

"Yes, last year we had a system where people had to pay tolls regardless of whether they were riding horses or riding cars. I heard that in just half a day, the tax collectors were whipped twice. Later, the county magistrate changed the regulations to include riding horses. One item has been removed," Zhang Jiamin said.

He Ran laughed loudly: "You can run fast on horseback and run away after cracking the whip. They can't catch up even if they want to."

Along the way, they passed through the city gate without entering and stayed at a roadside inn. Two days later, they arrived in Jinyang.

There are two Jinghong Towers in Jin, one in Pingyang City, and one in Jinyang City.

It is said that Feng Xueying went to Jinghong Tower in Jinyang City before asking the black girl to give her money.

There is also a golden plaque of Taizu in the Jinghong Tower in Jinyang. Feng Xueying knelt three times and kowtowed nine times in front of the plaque. She was as pious as she wanted.

When entering the city, Xiaoli took out the road guide. The road guide was provided by Taogu for them in Pingyang Mansion. Don't ask how it was done. If the big shopkeeper of Jinghong Tower couldn't even do this little thing, he would All in vain.

The city gate soldier looked at the road guide, pointed at the people in the mule cart, and asked, "Where are theirs?"

He Ran said calmly: "I follow the master, they are all my maids."

The city gate soldier was startled: "You need so many maids by yourself? You sleep. No, can you use them?"

He Ran raised her chin high: "I just like to have a bunch of maids surrounding me."

The city gate soldiers let him go, and before He Ran could walk far, he said to his companions: "Damn, he's not afraid of kidney deficiency!"

He Ran didn't hear this sentence, but Xiaoba delivered it in time: "Damn, he's not afraid of kidney deficiency, damn, he's not afraid of kidney deficiency either!"

One sentence a day, Xiaoba learned another sentence today. He Ran is speechless, can't you learn something good?

The big shopkeeper of Jinyang Jinghong Tower is Xiaokui's other daughter Xinggu.

Xiaokui, like Zuo Xiaoai, has never married. Zuo Xiaoai adopted Heitu Baiyun as his grandchild, while Xiaokui adopted seven daughters in the charity hall, known as the seven fairies. Now she is the shopkeeper of Jinghong Tower in Qin and Jin. , are all her daughters.

This was the first time for Aunt Xing to see the headmaster. After checking the letter, she actually started to cry.

"I, I, I have wanted to see you since I was a child, since I was a child, and now I finally see you. Wuwuwu."

He Ran couldn't help but laugh. This was exactly the same as Xiaokui. Back then, Xiaokui would cry at every turn. She cried when she was happy and when she was unhappy. She didn't know where she got so many tears.

At that time, everyone said that Xiaokui was made of water.

Who would have thought that such a person made of water would carry the injured woman on her back and walk for more than ten miles over the mountains and ridges, crying all the way.

On the third day when He Ran and his party arrived in Jinyang, Liu Xia and the others also arrived.

Liu Xia told He Ran: "Master, you guessed it right. As expected, the Seventeenth Master jumped over the wall to find someone for help. He was looking for Cai Qianhu who was stationed in Fan County. It stands to reason that most of the garrison leaders in places like this are It rotates every five years, but this Cai Qianhu has been stationed in Fan County for fifteen years. Fan County is a hundred miles away from Zhoujiapu, which is far less convenient than Pingyang. However, the Seventeenth Prince prefers the distance rather than the near. It seems that he and Cai Qianhu are far apart. The relationship with the household is pretty good.”

He Ran smiled. She had already guessed that Master Seventeen had a backer. Even if it wasn't a backer, it was still a cooperative relationship.

Don't ask her why she forced the Seventeenth Prince to expose the person behind him. She was just curious about why the Seventeenth Prince would exclude Zhou Cangyue, a descendant of the Zhou family who had finally recognized his ancestor.

She was already curious, and when she met the man who almost died after being cuckolded, she made such a decision.

If you push hard, it might be exposed.

"Go on," He Ran said.

These days, Liuxia and her family continue to rent at the fourth cousin's house. They agreed early in the morning that the fourth cousin will not include meals. There is a well in the yard, and they even fetch the hot water themselves.

But that day, the fourth cousin brought them hot water with a smile that almost made them cry.

The four of them paid close attention and pretended to drink the water sent by their fourth cousin. They piled themselves up into human figures with quilts and hid on the beams. As expected, someone entered the house of the fourth cousin at night. Those people went straight to the west wing of the room where they lived. , after entering the door, they went to lift the quilt. Four people jumped from the beam, and the two sides started fighting. During the fight, Liu Xia pulled off the tag that one of them had hidden on his waist, which was the waist tag of Qianhuying, Fan County.

The four of them went straight to the home of the Seventeenth Grandpa. The Seventeenth Grandpa thought that with Cai Qianhu's help, he could rest easy. Therefore, he was particularly happy tonight. When Liu Xia and Jin Bo broke in, the Seventeenth Grandpa was holding a young woman in his arms. It's like a phoenix.

Liu Xia felt that she couldn't disturb the good things of the Seventeenth Master, as it would be bad if he did, so he couldn't stop, he really couldn't stop.

So she and Jin Bo packed up the Seventeenth Prince and the woman and took them away.

Together with the quilt, tie it with a rope to make a big rice dumpling, gag your mouth, and place it on the altar table of Zhou's ancestral hall.

The Zhou Ancestral Hall is in the most conspicuous position of Zhoujiabao. At dawn the next morning, the bells rang from the bell tower.

The bell tower usually does not ring the bell, but the bell is ringing for important matters.

The big bell struck five times, which meant that all the descendants of the Zhou family went to the ancestral hall.

Is this something important?

The descendants of the Zhou family in Zhoujiapu put down what they were doing and ran to the ancestral hall.

And those people with foreign surnames who lived in Zhoujiapu also went over to watch the fun out of curiosity.

The Seventeenth Master and the woman appeared in front of everyone in such a gorgeous way.

There are three updates today. This is the first update. There will be two more updates tonight. Wait for me~
