After a difficult journey, the mighty convoy finally returned to Zhaojiacun in the evening.
With the help of the people of Zhaojia Village, this empty courtyard finally felt like a home.
Although the furniture is not that complete, it still looks like it can be lived. However, there are no beds but no bedding, and no serious pots and pans for cooking.
It seems that I still need to go to the county seat.
Looking at the many men who had finished their work, Xu Yunyan grabbed a handful of copper coins and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I should have treated you all to a meal during the housewarming, but you guys have also seen that except for people and furniture, there is nothing else in my house." No, after everything is done, I will definitely treat you all to a good meal and a drink. This small amount of money is just a token of my appreciation."
This suddenly surprised all the men from Zhaojia Village present: "Master, how can this happen? It's our duty to help you move your furniture if you have nothing to do. How can we accept your reward?"
Zhao Han was the first to object, but Xu Yunyan stepped forward and put the money into his arms.
"Don't you just rely on your strength to go out and earn some money to support your family? I don't know if this is enough, but it is a little bit of my thoughts.
You must not be so evasive. If this is the case, how can I find you when I have difficulties in the future and need your help?
Do you want me to go to other villages to look after people and steal your jobs? Why don't you guys poke my spine from behind? "
Xu Yunyan said that the men in Zhaojiacun finally accepted the money and left with a lot of thanks. But as soon as they left, Xu Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief. The two Niu brothers didn't say anything, and they just looked at each other. He looks silly and rough, but Yue'er has a little pout.
"Brother, are you going to sleep on the ground again tonight? We still can't live here with furniture."
"That's all we can do." Xu Yunyan was also helpless and spread his hands, "If Yue'er has any good ideas, I can research it."
However, after Xu Yunyan said this, he really showed the skills that a farm boy should have. Some firewood was quickly carried into the room and spread on the bed.
Although the furniture is new and covered with some nondescript thatch, you can still lie down and rest on the bed.
After Yue'er finished what she was doing, she looked at Xu Yunyan in a show-off manner, "How are you, brother? Is my bed good?"
"Not bad."
Xu Yunyan had no choice but to sign with his two thumbs, and spent the hard night after another simple meal.
On a new day, a group of four people once again hitched a carriage and headed towards the county seat. This time, no one from Zhaojia Village was invited. They had to leave early and return early. They could not walk to the county seat with the people from Zhaojia Village, otherwise they would go back and forth. I can't say I won't be able to come back in a day or two.
Xu Yunyan and his party of four borrowed horses and finally arrived at the county seat of Yancheng County after half a day. Looking at the low city wall, there were ten men at the door and some thin soldiers standing guard there, guarding those who came in and out. personnel.
When he saw Xu Yunyan and the four of them coming, he did not stop them and ask for money such as tolls and city fees as Xu Yunyan thought. Instead, he stopped them and asked them what they were talking about in the county town and then put them in. In the city.
"Not bad. Still a little wary."
Xu Yunyan became slightly fond of these thin guards.
As soon as he entered the city, a child who looked similar to Yue'er came up to him.
"Is this guest's first time in Yancheng County?"
Xu Yunyan was a little curious at this moment, "This is my first time in Yancheng County. I wonder what's going on with this little brother?"
"This guest, if this is your first time coming to Yancheng County, please hire me to guide you. Just tell me where you want to go, and I will lead you there. This will save you from being tricked by other people."
The young man recommended himself.
"Did you meet a guide? And he was also the one asking questions?"
Xu Yunyan was a little curious, but seeing how pitiful the child in front of him was in shabby clothes and torn shoes with a few toes exposed, he immediately wanted to take care of him.
But before Xu Yunyan could say anything, the stomach of the child in front of him suddenly growled.
In order to cover up the current embarrassment, the child raised his head and looked at Xu Yunyan, "This guest officer hired a boy to be a guide in this city for a day. It only costs two big bucks. Do you think you need to hire a boy to guide you?"
Another child from a poor family!
Xu Yunyan sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll hire you."
As soon as he finished speaking, an object flew out of his hand, "I will give you a copper plate first. After you take me to where I should go, I will give you the remaining money immediately."
I didn't expect Xu Yunyan to be so kind. This child immediately said thank you here, "Thank you, guest. Thank you, guest."
But this scene made Xu Yunyan a little uncomfortable.
"Children from poor families should become parents early!"
After thanking him for a while, the child asked Xu Yunyan where he wanted to go.
"Your Majesty wants to buy these things, right?"
"Yes, I need..."
After knowing what Xu Yunyan wanted to buy, the child immediately led the way and quickly arrived at the county town where he bought pots, pans, pans and grain.
Soon, Xu Yunyan and others bought all the items they needed. When they came out, they saw that the child who was their guide was still here honestly.
Xu Yunyan also kept his promise and stepped forward and took out two more copper coins and handed them to him.
This made the child excited, but he did not accept the money. Instead, he just put one of the two coins into his arms and returned the other to Xu Yunyan respectfully.
"My guest, although I, Wang Ergou, am not a manly man, I can say whatever I want. If it is two coins, it is two coins. The guest has already given me one at the beginning, and I can only ask for one more."
Wang Ergou's expression surprised Xu Yunyan, "I didn't expect you to be so strong-willed at such a young age. Very good, very good."
Just when Xu Yunyan said this, when Wang Ergou hugged Xu Yunyan and was about to leave, a shouting sound came from the distance.
Hearing the curse, Wang Ergou ran over and said, "What are you doing? Let go of my mother."
Following Wang Ergou's voice, Xu Yunyan looked over and saw a woman in shabby clothes or clothes put together with rags being pulled out by a man by her hair.
"You two bitches eat my food and drink my food without paying me. Now that I am short of money, I can only sell you two bitches to get some money to earn back my capital."
All of a sudden, the woman kept crying here, but Wang Ergou had the courage.
"You let my mother go, I have money, I have money."
Wang Ergou said as he took out the two copper coins in his arms. He was startled when he saw a man. However, after grabbing the national copper coins, he kicked Wang Ergou aside as if he were kicking a small egg. .
"How can you spend this little money on beggars?"
