Time flies, and another month has passed.

This day, early in the morning.

Mrs. Chen made a lot of delicious food, including crispy and fragrant shortbread, vegetable boxes, dried meat, and packed a big baggage.

Then he said to Fang Cheng who was driving the car:

"Fang Cheng, you are an elder brother. Take care of your younger brother on the road. Do you know that if my pig comes back and is hungry and thin, I will not spare you."

"Mom, I know, I know." Fang Cheng agreed naively.

In fact, how many times has Fang Chengcai been to Xiahe County?

There are not as many as Fang Yue. Whether it is familiarity with the journey or experience, Fang Yue is richer.

But in Chen's eyes, Fang Yue is a younger brother, and Fang Cheng, as an older brother, has to take more care of him.

This time I went to the city to buy some daily necessities.

By the way, I also took my sister Fang Lan, sister-in-law, and eldest brother to go shopping in the city.

My sister and sister-in-law have never been to Xiahe County since they were born.

In fact, this is normal. Their Daliushu Village is still a bit far away from Xiahe County.

Two hundred miles, without carriages or means of transportation, would indeed be a very long distance if you only relied on walking on two legs.

When the journey is long, things can easily go wrong.

If something unexpected happens along the way, who would know.

Therefore, in the past, when I went to the city, all the adult men in the village would meet with more than ten people, and they would not easily bring their wives with them.

That is to say, Fang Yue is a martial artist, and his current combat power is comparable to that of the martial artist at Yishui Pass, the fourth level of martial arts.

Ordinary farmer No. 180 is no match for him at all. It can be said that one can defeat a hundred.

That's why I dared to take my eldest brother, sister, and sister-in-law into the city.

"Mom, don't worry, you'll be fine." Fang Yue assured with a smile.

~~~~~~

Fang Yue and his brother Fang Cheng walked in front.

My sister and sister-in-law followed behind on a bullock cart.

As they walked, brother Fang Cheng suddenly whispered to the other party:

"Brother She, do you think the daughter's house in the city is as fresh and juicy as the cabbage in the field?"

When Fang Yue heard this, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe it. He thought he had heard wrongly.

How could an honest and responsible brother suddenly say such things?

Who told me this is the city girl Shui Ling?

Is my brother turning evil just because he has money?

In these days, it was normal to have three wives and four concubines. Ordinary farmers could not afford to marry one, but this was not the case for any landlord's family.

"I heard that they put some kind of rouge and gouache on them to make them look so dewy. I want to buy some for your sister-in-law." Fang Cheng continued.

I see.

Well, Fang Yue almost thought that his honest and honest brother wanted to take a concubine.

So it turned out that I wanted to buy rouge and gouache for my sister-in-law.

However, it is not easy for a dull brother to please his wife.

"Who told you about rouge and gouache?" Fang Yue asked.

My brother is just like a piece of wood, so he definitely doesn't have this intention.

In other words, a straight man would never think of sending rouge and gouache.

Someone must have taught him.

"I'm telling you, don't tell our mother when you go back. It was our father who asked me to bring it to him, so I thought about buying one for your sister-in-law." Fang Cheng whispered in a serious tone.

When Fang Yue heard this, he was completely shocked this time.

It turned out to be his father!

I didn't expect that Fang's father, who was dull and honest, also had such a side.

No wonder he could marry a daughter-in-law who is as smart as my mother and knows how to live a good life.

In this case, Fang Yue naturally had to help, so he said:

"When the time comes, I will take you to buy it. I won't tell my mother. I don't know anything."

Fang Cheng nodded heavily.

Then, he looked guiltily at the bullock cart behind him. Fortunately, his wife and sister were talking and didn't notice him.

Fortunately, the two women at the back may have gone out for the first time, and their attention was focused on the scenery on both sides of the road, and they did not pay attention to the Fang Yue brothers at all.

Because Fang Yue was not alone when he went to the city this time. He took his brother, sister-in-law, and sister with him, which took a lot of time.

It was not until noon on the fourth day that I saw the outline of Xiahe County.

"Brother He, Brother He, is that Xiahe County? The county is so big, the city wall is so high, and there are so many people at the city gate. What are they doing in line?"

Fang Lan was very excited. Even though the four-day journey was very bumpy and tiring, she was still very energetic.

As for Fang Cheng's wife, perhaps because her brother-in-law was nearby, she became more reserved. She did not ask questions like Fang Lan, but just held Fang Cheng's arm hard.

"Well, those people are paying the city fee, two copper coins each." Fang Yue said.

Several people drove the bullock cart and quickly reached the city gate.

Only then did I realize that there were a lot of people queuing up, hundreds of people.

Carrying baggage, driving bullock carts, wearing different clothes, all kinds of things, but most of them have one characteristic, that is, they are poor people.

"With so many people, how long can we wait in line?" Fang Lan couldn't help but said looking at the queue that was more than twenty feet long.

There are many people in Xiahe County, but I didn’t expect so many people.

Just waiting in line to enter the city seemed to take more than half an hour.

"It's okay, I'll be in soon."

Fang Yue took his brother, sister-in-law and sister, and did not stop here, but walked directly towards the city gate.

Fang Lan and the others naturally followed behind.

The people queuing up next to them also noticed Fang Yue and the others, and looked at them with contempt in their eyes.

I don't know where this country bumpkin came from.

He's dressed well, but doesn't he know the rules here? If he dares to cut in line, he'll definitely get into trouble.

"Want to cut in line? You big bastard, get out of here."

At this moment, it seemed to be in line with these people's thoughts.

At the city gate, a strong soldier grabbed a man in the crowd, cursed him a few words, and then kicked him out.

It turned out that this man cut in line and was discovered by the soldiers guarding the gate, and then he was naturally beaten.

This one cut in line secretly, and it's rare to see someone like the ones next to him who walked over openly.

The other people in the queue looked at Fang Yue and others, and couldn't help gloating.

"Brother, did we go the wrong way? Should we go to the back to queue up?"

At this time, Fang Cheng was also a little guilty, feeling that his brother seemed to have taken the wrong way.

Don't you have to queue up to enter the city? Why did he walk directly to the city gate?

Just now, the man who cut in line was kicked by the soldiers guarding the gate.

It is obviously not allowed to cut in line!

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Fang Yue smiled slightly to reassure his brother and sister.

At this time, they had already walked to the city gate.

And walked towards the city gate.

"What are you doing? Do you know the rules? Hurry up!"

Sure enough, the soldiers guarding the city saw Fang Yue and others, who were so ignorant of the rules, and he had just taught a lesson to a person who didn't follow the rules.

These people dared to do it again, and simply didn't take him seriously. They must be severely punished.

Otherwise, these unruly people don't know how to write the word fear.

The crowd around them also looked at Fang Yue and others at this time.

Everyone stretched their necks, ready to wait for the excitement.

Pah, pah~

Sure enough, a crisp sound rang out.

The crowd of onlookers felt comfortable, and finally someone who didn't know the rules was taught a lesson.

But this thought just arose in their hearts, and then.

They were one after another, with their eyes wide open, stunned.

I saw that the strong soldier was slapping himself again.

"Why are you hitting yourself? Get out of the way. We are going to enter the city now."

Fang Yue's voice sounded, and the soldier looked like he had been pardoned. He quickly called his colleagues around him to make way.

"Please come in, please come in."

The soldier who was so majestic just now was a little flattering at this time.

Fang Yue and others quickly passed through the city gate and entered the city.

After a while.

The city gate exploded, and those who were queuing were buzzing.

I didn't know what happened at all. Why did the soldier hit himself and then respectfully invite those country bumpkins in?

As for the reason, the soldier in question would naturally not explain it to the people in the queue.

For a long time afterwards, today's events became a topic of conversation for some people.

~~~~~~

Entering the city,

Fang Lan and the others still couldn't believe it. Why did the soldier change his attitude just now and let them enter the city first?

But then he thought of the fact that his younger brother was a military candidate.

Those yamen runners who used to bully people in the village were very honest in front of their family, and their voices were three times weaker.

Maybe it was the same when they entered the city this time.

After entering the city,

Fang Yue first settled his brother, sister-in-law and sister in the inn.

It was still the same old place, affordable.

But now Fang Yue came here to stay, and the boss basically only charged the cost.

Originally, he didn't charge, because Fang Yue passed the exam twice, which made their inn famous.

Now the business is much better.

And that woodshed has now become the most expensive house in the store.

No matter whether it is a scholar or a warrior, as long as they want to make a difference in the imperial examination, they will come to their inn and want to live in that woodshed.

After settling his brother and sister,

it was already late and there was not enough time.

Besides, his brother and sister had been traveling all the way and needed to rest, so he did not plan to take them out for a walk.

Fang Yue first visited Zhang Baiyang's house and asked in detail about some information about Xiahe County during this period.

Arriving at Zhang Baiyang's house, he was lucky today because Zhang Baiyang was at home.

"Haha, I was wondering why the magpie was calling today. It turned out that Yue'er was here."

When the other party saw Fang Yue, he enthusiastically pulled Fang Yue into the house.

"Uncle Master, I haven't seen you for a year. You are more elegant than before." Fang Yue said.

In fact, Fang Yue has only been to Xiahe County once in the past two years.

So he hasn't seen Zhang Baiyang for a year.

"Hey, haha, we are all family, so let's not talk about different things. Uncle Master must be getting older. You can see that his hair has turned a lot whiter." Zhang Baiyang laughed.

After the courtesy, the servants served tea.

Fang Yue took a sip and asked:

"Master, it is said that this drought has spread throughout Shanyang Prefecture? I wonder what the current situation is?"
