Su Chen kept all the guides along the way, for no other reason. Su Chen was now a scholar. When dealing with these city defenders, how could a scholar be better than a mud-legged man?

But in the city of Kyoto, where there are as many people as dogs and scholars are everywhere, there is really no difference between scholars and mud-legged people. In the eyes of these city defenders, Su Chen is the same as the old man who just came to the city to sell vegetables, like You are just a scholar in Kyoto City. If you want to teach in an academy, no one will use you.

Su Chen stepped forward and respectfully showed the family the way. There were stamps on every city gate along the way. The city defenders asked Su Chen some questions, and then stamped the stamps in their hands. The road to the Su family leads up.

As long as they were not refugees from the northwest, for the sake of the two taels of silver, the city defenders did not say anything about not allowing people to enter the city. The people in the old house lined up one by one and checked carefully to make sure they had nothing personal. , and then let people into the city.

When queuing up, everyone in the old house behaved honestly. Even Mrs. Li was calm and composed. She did not forget that she was at the gate of a certain city. She just stepped forward and said a few words to the soldiers guarding the city. He pinned her to the ground without caring about her age.

That time, the family spent a full five taels of silver to exchange her from the city defenders. After that time, when passing by the city gate, Mrs. Li was extremely honest. She was really scared. There were no more five taels in the family. Two pieces of silver to redeem her.

Su Meng took Laozhai away from the city gate first, found an alley, and then looked at them.

"Dad, why do you look like this?"

"Oh, don't mention it. The people from the escort agency are traveling very fast. We are also rushing with them as hard as we can. In addition to eating, drinking water and sleeping for two hours at night, we spend the rest of the time on the road. When we came out, we bought two A donkey cart was also used to pay off the debt of the escort agency yesterday."

Su Meng saw that although the group was in a mess and had a strange smell on their bodies, none of them were missing arms or legs, so she didn't say anything else.

"Qing'er, hurry up and hire another carriage."

The maid Qing'er received her blessing and bowed, and ran in one direction. That was the carriage and horse shop in the city, which was open next to the city gate, making it convenient for people going in and out of the city to rent carriages.

Looking at her daughter's appearance as a lady, Ji raised her head high. Meng'er was trying to make her look good.

"Meng'er, it looks like you're doing quite well here."

As Ji spoke, he stepped forward to hold Su Meng's hand. Su Meng subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but she held it back. If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was his mother, Su Meng would have thrown him away. .

At this time, people passing by looked at their profession like idiots, mainly because they had never seen beggars before, and they acted as if they were afraid that others would not know. Of course, the ones who looked at them the most were Ji and Su Chen. Ji was Because of her daughter, Su Chen felt that he was a scholar and superior to others, so he kept his back straight.

Su Meng felt embarrassed standing in a crowd with them. At first, she thought she had a carriage at home, so she only hired a carriage. Now she could only wait for Qing'er to hire another one.

"Master, grandma, if you are tired along the way, why don't you get on the carriage and have a rest. We can wait until the other carriage arrives before we leave."

Old Man Su and Old Mrs. Li were really exhausted from the journey. They didn't want to say anything else at the moment. They just wanted to find a place to have a good rest. After listening to Su Meng's words, they nodded in agreement.

In addition to the old couple getting on the carriage, Ji and Fan also got on board. Fan’s son is more than two years old this year. He had fallen asleep when he arrived at the city gate just now, and he is sleeping in Fan’s arms now. It's sweet.

A few people got on the carriage, but they didn't look that conspicuous.

When Su Meng went out today, he did not take the only guard in his family with him. When he hired a carriage from the carriage house, he also hired a coachman.

When Mrs. Li and the others got on the carriage, the carriage driver looked disgusted.

"Madam, you have to add ten more coins when you get there, otherwise I won't take this job. I'll have to wash it when I get back."

"I know, you will be indispensable when the time comes." Seeing the coachman say this, everyone had a bad expression on their faces. They also knew the smell on their bodies, so they had to endure it.

If this matter were brought up in the village, Mrs. Li would spit it out when she opened her mouth. She learned a lot along the way. As for the two brothers and several boys from the Su family, they were no longer as excited as they were when they first left home. Now they were all listless, and they just wanted to go to the second brother's house to have a good rest and have a good meal.

"Meng'er, didn't the third aunt tell you that you are living a good life in Kyoto City? How come you don't even have a carriage when you go out? You have to hire a carriage when you go out."

Mrs. Fan just saw her sister-in-law looking like a villain and wanted to stab her a few times, but she couldn't find the opportunity for a while. Now she won't stab her back if she finds the opportunity.

When Mr. Ji heard this, it was alright, so she opened her mouth to give it back. Mrs. Li was tired at the moment and was not in a good mood.

"Okay, everyone, please stop saying one word to me!"

Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately fell silent.

Soon, Qing'er hired a carriage and came over, and several people got on the carriage.

Although Su Meng called the people in the old house, Su Meng never thought about being responsible for the food and drink of the whole family in the old house, even just one meal.

"Master, grandma, I don't know where my second uncle's family lives. I do know the shop his family owns in the city. My second uncle's family owns a restaurant, and there are a lot of people there every day. Let's go to my second uncle's house first. Let’s have a good meal at the restaurant, and then let the restaurant’s waiter take us to my second uncle’s house.”

"Meng'er is still thoughtful, but you have to say it's the Su family, or your second uncle's family. Doesn't your second uncle's family belong to your grandparents?"

"Yes, Nai is right."

Now that they were sitting in the carriage and didn't have to walk alone, the Su family became energetic again. They raised all the curtains on both sides of the carriage and looked at the excitement on the street outside.

The whole family became more and more excited as they watched it. Not to mention the smallest shop on the street, the whole family was also satisfied.

I heard from Meng'er that there is more than one shop in Lao Er's house, but three in total. When the time comes, the youngest one will be left to Su Lao Er, and the remaining two stores will be shared by the two brothers.

This is not only the idea of ​​the two brothers, but also the old man Su. He feels that this is only fair, and they are already kind-hearted if they can leave a room for the second brother.

Less than half an hour later, the carriage arrived directly at the door of Su Ji Restaurant.

"Master, grandma, we're here, let's get off the car."

Old Man Su and Old Mrs. Li got off the carriage and looked up at the three-story restaurant in front of them. The heat in their eyes could not be suppressed.

"Meng'er, this...is this really the shop run by your second uncle's family?"

"Of course it's true. I've already inquired about it. This shop is now managed by my second brother, whom I have never met before. He was very good at doing business when he was in the Bai family, so he can open the shop so big. .”
