Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 49 Go to the county seat

Early the next morning, the Gu family was unexpectedly quiet, and the sound of chopping wood disappeared.

Everyone wanted to walk on tiptoes, and even the children didn't dare to cry when they woke up.

It was rare to be quiet, but there was not even a single punctuation mark in the ancient prose, and the sentences were obscure and difficult to understand. Gu Wenxuan took out a copy of "The Great Learning" and recited it with considerable headache.

Turned over.

Calm your mind.

Gu Wenxuan was surprised.

Try reading another page silently.

My memory used to be good, but it was not so good that I could recite two or three pages of content without missing a word as long as I read it silently three or four times.

Has he traveled through time, and his soul has become stronger, so that he can get twice the result with half the effort by endorsing it now?
Gu Wenxuan didn't know, but the result was good and he would definitely be happy to accept it.

At meal time, leave the room.

I don't know when Tian Er Gouzi left, but the old man immediately turned down his face when he saw him entering the main room. Gu Wenxuan was in a good mood and didn't bother to care.

"Mukuro, you have nothing to say?"

"Say what?"

Gu Wenxuan stopped Gu Erzhu, "I admit that I did something wrong last night, but it was wrong because I was sorry for my mother.

Apart from this, what's wrong with your grandson and me?
Why didn't he say that his niece had a large dowry, so it was trivial to let go?
My eldest uncle is in trouble, my sister-in-law is sorry?Is it my wife’s turn?

He is shameless, I want it!
When will it be the turn of the children and grandchildren of my Gu family to pay dowry relief to my sister-in-law next door?

There is another question, don’t you think about it?

I took care of my family when I brought my daughter-in-law into the house, but he dares to guarantee that none of my five brothers’ in-laws will object to their daughter’s dowry being appropriated?

Once word spreads, what will be the consequences?
If it is minor, it will harm the marriage of my Gu family's children and grandchildren; if it is serious, it will be illegal and taboo to seize the dowry. Do you still want to take the imperial examination?
His heart can be killed!Gu Dalang, do you think your uncle should be beaten? "

Gu Dalang opened his mouth and closed it.

"You are majestic!"

Mr. Gu slapped the table, "It's so outrageous. You don't even call me eldest brother, but you still care about eldest brother! Second brother, you can take care of it by yourself."

It’s not like you’re calling someone’s name, right?Gu Erzhu replied calmly, "If you want shame, you still have to deal with it. Is it right to be shameless? What kind of truth--"

"Okay, I can't keep my mouth shut even after eating!" Mrs. Gu interrupted with a loud shout, "Liu Lang, I told your grandfather that I made a mistake. Don't talk back."

"Okay." Gu Wenxuan bowed sincerely, "I was wrong, grandpa.

Uncle, I'm sorry. I'm as straight-tempered as my father. I don't speak well, but I'm sincere.

After eating, I accompanied my father to the county seat to find out, don’t say no, what is a family?

Even if we quarrel, we still kiss each other. I want Brother Dalang more than anyone else. "

Gu Erlang couldn't help laughing, "If I don't say that you are stupid, what good words you have said will be useless, and you will make our grandpa angry. Eat quickly, and go out as soon as possible."

Gu Wenxuan took the pancake from him and took a big bite.

The thick flour pancakes this morning are still the ones made by my mother. Are they delicious?

Gu Erlang poured some of the porridge in the bowl to Gu Wenxuan, "Drink more."

Let’s talk after drinking?

Gu Wulang almost choked.

He wanted to remind them that the two brothers were resented by their cousin, but unexpectedly they saw Gu Erlang holding up the bowl and smiling at Gu Dalang.

Scared him to death.

Gu Wenxuan was not kidding when he said going to the county town.

Usury loans were originally a type of lending that was done by the people without involving officials.

But without a backing, how could a mere scholar have the courage to lend money and force people to death?

He was able to become a scholar, and he had run a private school in the county for many years. He obviously had no shortage of IQ, and he was convicted in just one day. He was really worried that Master Lin's case was not simple.

Once Mrs. Lin dissatisfied and appeals for retrial, she will only get more bites. If Gu Dalang really got involved, he would be destined to be cannon fodder, and even his cousin's path to the imperial examination would be cut off.This little bastard is very dishonest. If it weren't for the clan rules, he would be brave enough to go to the casino.

Anyway, if he wins, it’s his. If he loses, he doesn’t have to worry about the old man not paying it back!
The ox cart gradually approaches Qingyang County, and the city wall that is getting taller can be seen in the distance.

There were soldiers standing guard on the city walls, and there were government officials under the city gates to maintain order.

After seeing it with his own eyes, Gu Wenxuan understood better why the Ma family gave Ma Shan as a dowry not farm property, but a shop with a yard in the county town.

There are only four city gates in the entire county, namely the southeast, southeast and northwest. Once a war breaks out or there are serious disasters and there are refugees, it is not an exaggeration to say that closing the city gates will make it impregnable.

Arrive at the South City Gate.

People entering the city must be interrogated before entering.

People from the local county need to check their waist tags, and non-locals will not only check their waist tags, but also check the road signs and whether they are carrying sharp weapons.

Although there is no information-based management of household registration today, there is a complete household registration system.

In order to distinguish people from each other, everyone from the princes and ministers to the traffickers and soldiers had waist badges.

It is said that the waistbands of princes, ministers and their families are made of different materials.

There are also scholars and scholars who are different, but they are the badges of ordinary people, with a uniform wood.

The front is engraved with the county, licensing year and anti-counterfeiting stamp.

The reverse side is engraved with the license holder's name, identity, place of origin, age and other personal information for inspection.

The road guide is the identity certificate issued by the county where you are traveling.

If you are traveling far away from home, you must show it and your waist badge at checkpoints on the road before you can pass.

After the interrogation, there was no difference except for the elderly and young children. Everyone was given a copper coin to enter the city. Everyone consciously put copper coins into the basket and entered the city.

in the city.

Wealthy businessmen and some scholars lived in the east, and famous scholars and officials lived in the west. The county government offices were distributed between the east and west districts.

The big car shop of Mr. Gu's family is right next to the Nancheng Gate.

Gu Erzhu was accustomed to entering the city from here, and he also wanted to ask Gu Yangqing, his second uncle's eldest son, first.

The big car shop is the Datongpu Inn, and it also shows goods to merchants.

In addition, he has been operating in the county for many years, so it can be said that his cousin is very well-informed.

Wide doors.

Horse-drawn carriages coming and going.

A middle-aged man in his 40s was directing cars to enter and exit.

Gu Wenxuan was about to remind his father to drive the ox cart in later when he saw the other party turning around.

This person is none other than his cousin Gu Yangqing, and he actually took charge of it himself today.

"Come in quickly, I was thinking of going back later. Don't run away, I have something urgent to ask you. We'll be here soon. You can take Rokuro inside to wait for me."

This was the first time for Gu Wenxuan to "see" an ancient car shop.

There is a large courtyard with a circle of sheds around the courtyard wall, and further inside there is a Datongpu.

It's simple and crude, but it takes up a lot of space.

No wonder his father said on the way that among the three brothers, the most capable was the second oldest, his second grandfather.

Not to mention how much land the second brother added after the three old brothers separated, the small yard where he lives, separated by a wall from the big car shop, is worth a lot of money.

The main house has three rooms and a double courtyard. Even if it is located in the south of the city, it costs hundreds of taels of silver to buy it. I wonder why the old man, the third child, is still dissatisfied.

"Sit down quickly, why don't you be polite when you go home?"

Seeing Gu Wenxuan bowing, Gu Yangqing smiled and sat down next to Gu Erzhu.

"I heard something happened to Lin Xiucai last night, and Brother Wen and I were out of town this morning. I guess you can't sit still."
