Chapter 131 Shopping
Jiang Yi was arranged to enter Qinan City.
The group walked on the mountain road for many days, and even the escorts were exhausted and wanted to stay in the city for a day or two.
When we arrived at the city gate, we found that there were quite a few people there, and everyone was queuing up to enter and exit the city.
"Get the money ready! Don't waste time!" a sloppy soldier shouted along the queue.
"Sir, what silver?" Mo Mingyuan was at the front, so he asked.
The soldier looked Mo Mingyuan up and down.
He still had some discerning eyes. Seeing that although Mo Mingyuan was wearing ordinary cloth clothes, he had an extraordinary demeanor, he responded: "I can see that this is your first time in our Qinan City. The fee for entering and leaving the city is 100 coins per person per trip."
This is the first time I've heard of this.
But it seems that apart from them, no one else finds it strange. This rule must have been implemented for a long time.
"Qizhou is such a mess!" Feng Aoqing said in a low voice.
Before Jiang Yi could say anything, An Lei stepped forward and pressed his token against the man's forehead.
"I wonder how many lives you, the city officials, have left? How dare you accept money from my young lady!"
"Wow, the stone is quite imposing!" Feng Aoqing said to An Qiao with a smile.
"He! Except when he sees his master and acts like a cricket, he is always like this." Anqiao looked at his brother and shook his head.
When the soldier saw the purple tassels, his legs went weak and he knelt down.
The tassels on Zhaojing's official token have certain specifications.
Yellow is used by the royal family, purple is used by the third rank and above, blue is used by the fourth to sixth ranks, and only gray can be used by those below the sixth rank.
The color from light to dark represents the grade from low to high.
"Didn't you say you were quitting? Is your badge still useful?" Feng Aoqing deliberately asked An Qiao.
"This is our master's own token. Because he has made great contributions to protecting the country and he does not want the title of marquis, the emperor and that person gave him this token as a reward." An Qiao replied.
Feng Aoqing nodded to show that she understood.
"Miss, please come in." The soldier immediately led the person aside.
Unexpectedly, a large group of dozens of people came out.
When the soldier saw that there were people in the team in shackles, he was confused and wanted to ask.
"They are all our people. Why, do you want to ask? Come, the master will do it for you." An Lei was about to throw the token to the man.
An Qiao almost laughed. This time it was Han Lang who threw the sign to him. He could finally throw the sign to someone else.
"I dare not, I dare not." The man said hurriedly.
As soon as I entered the city, someone came to greet me.
The man was looking for Jiang Yi. After talking to Jiang Yi for a few words, he led the team into the city, turned around the main street and came to an inn located in a busy but quiet area.
The inn should have prepared in advance, as there were no other guests.
Originally, Feng Aoqing thought it was someone Jiang Yi knew, but now it seems that Han Lang arrived first.
The Mo family members chose their own rooms to live in, and one room was enough for each person. The other exiled prisoners lived in the dormitory, with four people in a room, which was also spacious and comfortable.
"This is a big city, and the streets are so lively!" After all, Mo Minglei is still young and likes to play.
"Want to go out and play?" Feng Aoqing asked.
"Sister-in-law, I know it's not possible, so I'll think about it. Can I have a room on the second floor? If it's on the second floor facing the street, I can see the main street, and I can look at it from the window." Mo Minglei said sensibly.
"Then let's go! Anyone who wants to go, let's go." Feng Aoqing said.
Jiang Yi is not afraid of this. The Mo family will not run away now, because they can become masters, mistresses, young masters, and young ladies again in Yanguan, and they can also wait for their eldest brother to regain his title and return to the capital.
It wouldn't be worth running away now.
So Jiang Yi didn't say anything, but just didn't let the exiled prisoner go out.
Feng Aoqing gave Mo Mingyuan a bag of silver and asked him to take the people from the third house and Sun Lingzhu to go shopping.
Mo Mingyuan took the wallet and said shyly, "Sister-in-law, I...I...Is there anyone else who wants to go?"
"Sisters, come along too! I want to take Xingbao and Yuebao with me, but there's no one to help look after the kids." Feng Aoqing knew what she was thinking, so she said.
Anyway, it seems that the girls really want to go.
Feng Aoqing didn't want to go, mainly because Xingbao and Yuebao wanted to go because they saw a shadow play when they passed by just now.
Everyone rested for a while and took advantage of the good afternoon time to go shopping.
The streets here are naturally incomparable to those in the capital, but they are also quite lively.
Mo Nanzhou and An Jingge each carried a child. Feng Aoqing specifically instructed Mo Mingyuan to take care of the female relatives and not to let him carry the child.
"Don't be stingy, we have it, just spend it." Feng Aoqing whispered in his ear.
Mo Mingyuan opened the purse and saw that the top layer was filled with small change and the bottom layer contained two gold ingots. He just chuckled.
As he walked, he saw his mother holding his sister's hand, and his sister liked Tian Ying'er very much, so she held her hand, and so the three most important women in his life walked together.
He hadn't asked his father and mother for their opinions yet because Tian Ying'er wouldn't let him, saying they should wait until they got to Yanguan.
"Sister, my sister-in-law gave my brother some money. Let my brother buy you whatever you want!" Mo Minglei instigated.
"I don't need it." Tian Ying'er shook her head.
"Ying'er, don't be polite. Buy some facial cream, handkerchiefs, and other personal items." Third Aunt Zhou Xiuyun also said.
"Madam, I said I don't need it because if I go to the street, I won't need Mr. Yuan's money. I have plenty of it." Tian Ying'er said with a smile.
"Haha! I understand!" Mo Minglei understood now.
"You kid, don't just stretch out your hand casually. That will be... troublesome and you will get beaten." Zhou Xiuyun patted Tian Ying'er's hand affectionately through her daughter.
"My sister-in-law is here!" Mo Minglei was just there to watch the fun and wasn't afraid of any trouble.
"Don't worry, Madam Third, I won't." Tian Ying'er answered obediently.
"Be good, we have it." Zhou Xiuyun was relieved.
"I won't be caught," Tian Ying'er added.
"Hahahaha!" Mo Minglei fell on her mother with laughter.
"You kid!" Zhou Xiuyun also laughed.
Mo Mingyuan looked at the three women laughing together with a smile, and followed them into the dense crowd without realizing it.
He was afraid of losing the person, so he took a few quick steps and bumped into someone.
There were too many people here, and he couldn't use his skills. With his body shape, the opponent was knocked back a step.
"I'm sorry." Mo Mingyuan apologized quickly.
The man just glared at him and left.
Tian Ying'er just turned around and saw this scene.
She let go of Mo Minglei's hand and flashed to Mo Mingyuan's side.
The familiar feeling is back.
Mo Mingyuan saw Tian Ying'er walking around him. Her dress in the color of Canglang made her as fresh as the first bamboo.
Before going out, everyone changed into the clothes given by Feng Aoqing.
After a while, the bamboo leaf floated back to him.
"Mr. Yuan, you are so engrossed in looking at that young lady that you have forgotten your own skills." Tian Ying'er smiled sweetly and handed a package to Mo Mingyuan.
"Ah!" Mo Minglei and Zhou Xiuyun couldn't help but cover their mouths with their handkerchiefs.
