Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 519
The guard at the gate thought that Liu Ya was generous with the money before, so he saw that there were no idlers around, and walked over.Asked: "Little girl, is it you again? Is there something wrong?"

Hearing the boy's tone, he was being polite.I just don't know if it's because the money worked, or because the mayor here came to see Liu Ya in person.

Liu Ya didn't care about these things, she just smiled and said: "I'm just worried about my brother's exam situation, so I want to come over and inquire about it. Little brother, have you heard any news?"

The boy smiled and said: "I have never heard of this. You can go to the school and ask. But..." The boy lowered his voice and said: "Little girl, you are also a smart person. Last time the mayor Didn’t you understand what I told you personally? Didn’t your lord tell you to take your younger brother to the school to enroll directly in the first year of junior high school. That’s [-]% success.”

Liu Ya nodded and said: "Of course I heard it, but I didn't know what else to prepare, and I didn't know what to do, so I came to ask. Thank you, brother, for reminding me, I will go to the school to have a look."

After Liu Ya finished speaking, she was ready to leave.This time I just asked a question, and there was nothing to ask for, so naturally I didn't need to pay for it.Even people who deal with the government don't have to use silver needles every time to open the way, this Du Liuya can still master it well.

After only two steps, he seemed to remember something again, hurriedly turned around and came back, and asked, "Little brother, there is one more thing I want to ask you, what procedure do I have to go through if I report to the officer?"

Liu Ya has seen some people beating drums to protest grievances on TV, but she has come to the gate of this yamen twice, and she has not seen any drums outside.

Hearing this, the boy lowered his voice and asked, "Little girl, what do you mean? Has something happened at home? If you lose something, please talk to the village security and Li Zheng. If it is really a valuable treasure , and then report to the official. But reporting to the official also requires money, and if you find the lost property and want to take it back, you have to pay taxes."

Liu Ya really didn't know that there were so many things to say, she shook her head and said: "Our family didn't lose anything, but I saw a kidnapper in the village who came to sell people, and brought a young sister to sell. I think that sister is pitiful, so I want to I want to report to the government for her. Do you still need to pay money and taxes for such a thing?"

Hearing this, the boy shook his head and said: "It's not necessary. Anyone who helps the government catch abductors will be rewarded. But I advise you, little girl, it's better to have one thing less than one thing more. This kind of thing is not your little one." Girls can manage it. And let me tell you, those girls who are rescued from kidnappers will be locked in prison. If no one from their family comes to redeem them, they will be sent to exile. But redemption is a big job People want ten taels of silver. Some people are poor and want to sell their daughters. How can they have money to redeem people? They can only let the government send people to the camp to serve as soldiers. I think it's better to let that girl find a good family to stay, so she can have someone to love her."

After finishing speaking, the young servant waved his hand and said: "Little girl, brother, I said something that shouldn't be said out of good intentions. Just listen to it and forget it. Don't say it. Brother is I advise you to leave this matter alone, we can't do it, there are rules in the government."

Liu Ya hurriedly thanked her with a look of panic and fear.He took out another ten copper coins and said, "I didn't go out today to do some business, so I didn't bring any money with me. Thank you brother for reminding me. I'm here to invite you to drink tea."

"No, no, no." The boy hurriedly declined, and said, "This is the first time I've seen a little girl who knows how to do things like you. Brother, I'm not a money-minded person, so if there's anything you don't understand, ask me. I should give you a reply. Go home, it is still important to settle your brother properly."

After hearing this, Liu Ya thanked him, but still put those copper plates into the boy's hands.

He took Liu Ya's money again, and seeing her go far away, the doorman thought to himself, this little girl is really good at handling things, and her hands are generous.

After Liu Ya got such news, she understood what Second Aunt Wu was afraid of.It seems that if you want to report to the official and then redeem someone, you really have to have some skills, otherwise this person will really be sent to the barracks.

But Liu Ya also knew that she couldn't talk to this young man now.If he went out to redeem people by himself, he still had to go directly to the mayor.So this matter can be put aside for now, let's wait and see what the second sister-in-law Wu's plan is.

Liu Ya led the horse and walked towards the school again.At this time, there were no those who accompanied their children to take the exam in front of the school, and it seemed much deserted.Occasionally, I saw students wearing long gowns rushing past with books in their arms, as if they were in a hurry to go to school.

Liu Ya came to the place where she read the bulletin before, only to see that there was no new notice on it.It’s just that two lines of fine print have been added under the notice stating the exam date and requirements of the government-run school, saying that the exam results will be announced at the end of the month, and all students who come to the exam will look at the list by themselves. Report with proof of household registration.

In this way, it is really useless to come early.In ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, and there was no way to notify people door-to-door. It seems that you have to look at the list yourself.

But before the mayor hinted that Xiao Shu'er could pass through, there was no need for Liu Ya to delay any longer.She also wanted to take advantage of some time to go to Zhou's kiln to clear the account of the adobe bricks.

Going from Guyushu Town to Zhoujiayao is not a smooth road, but it is much closer to turn around here than to go out from Pingshan Village alone, and it will save another day of delay.

Previously, Liu Ya had booked bricks for building a small water shop from Zhoujiayao, but she hadn't paid the deposit even though she said so. Now it seems that the foundation is about to be dug there, so Liu Ya still thinks that she should go over and say something. Check out.

From a long distance away, you could see the smoke rising from the small kiln burning bricks. When Liu Ya rode a horse and came up close, someone greeted her loudly: "The proprietress is in the shack over there."

"Okay." Liu Ya agreed, and rode over.

As soon as she dismounted outside the shack at the door, Yaping came out from inside.It seemed that he had just woken up from a nap. When he saw Liu Ya, he tied his hair and said, "When I heard the sound of horseshoes, I guessed it might be you. It really is. Let's talk soon." After speaking, he invited Liu Ya to sit in the shack .

Liu Ya said: "I won't sit anymore, I have to go home in a hurry. I just came to pay the bills. I'll pay for the bricks from the kilns before and after. The bricks ordered later will only go there. The car is finished, and I don't have to run alone again."

Yaping said: "That's fine, I'll do the math for you."
