Chapter 55 City Entry Fee

[Daddy’s heart is focused on the illegitimate son and daughter. The illegitimate son will be the emperor’s chosen concubine in the future.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was named Minister of Household Affairs because of his service to the dragon;
  The illegitimate daughter will be the new emperor's concubine in the future; the concubine and the scumbag father will enjoy great honors, and the whole family will ascend to heaven and enjoy endless glory and wealth. But……】

Song Jingbei was shocked. Who in the world wishes good to their enemies? What's more, are those people worthy?

For a moment, my heart felt very clogged.

But what? Sister, what do you think?

Seeing that Song Jingbei was still silent, Song Jin just thought he was thinking and didn't bother him.

My thoughts wandered again.

[Mom, they all died miserably! 】

[If that outer room doesn’t die, my mother, brother and sister-in-law will have no chance of living. 】

[There are also children born outside the family. They also regard Dalang and the others as a thorn in their side and want to torture them to death in their dreams. In short, the more Dalang and the others feel worse than death, the happier they feel. 】

Song Jingbei's heart tightened, and the hand holding the reins trembled slightly: How could that be?
  If it hadn't been for his sister's prophecy, he would never have thought that someone could confuse right and wrong so much, and he wouldn't have taken precautions either.

But in the future...

Song Jingbei suddenly made a decision.

"Sister, I heard that you are going to build a house on the mountain? My elder brother is a good carpenter. Can you ask me for a job?"

Song Jin paused and stared at Song Jingbei suspiciously.

"I heard from my mother that more and more people are looking for my eldest brother to make furniture. If my eldest brother doesn't want to develop and expand, why not open a furniture store or something in the county?"

Song Jingbei shook his head without thinking, "I just want to be with my sister. Could it be that my sister doesn't want to use me?"

【Something's wrong! There's something wrong with this big brother! What does he want to do? 】

"Brother, it's not cost-effective to work with me for just wages, but if you open a furniture store and you can be the shopkeeper, all the work will be done by others, and you just have to look after the accounts and collect the cash. How great!" Song Jin followed the temptation.

But Song Jingbei seemed to be determined and unwavering.

Song Jingbei: "...No, I want to be with my sister." Why should I listen to my sister's thoughts if I'm not by her side? I don’t know how he died.

Song Jin thought for a while, "Okay! Then you can learn from Uncle Liu first. He is a capable person."

Seeing that his sister finally relaxed, Song Jingbei felt a sense of joy that he had been deceived and sold out.

Before the sun set, the group finally arrived at the city gate.

Song Jingbei got out of the car and led his donkey forward, but the city guards stopped him.

Song Jingbei understood and quickly took out the copper coins he had prepared from his pocket, "Brother, can I go in?"

The soldier guarding the city took the copper plate and knew with just one glance that the amount was wrong, "There are still three pennies left."

Song Jingbei smiled and communicated with the younger brother, "Brother, the entrance fee to the city is one cent per person. For our family of five, isn't it only five cents?"

The little brother was a patient one. He shook his head and pointed at the donkey cart, "It's two cents for the donkey, two cents for the cart, and three cents for putting them together. Please pay them quickly."

Song Jingbei was a little dissatisfied, "Why do we have to charge money for donkey carts? Didn't we not charge before?"

The little brother was impatient, and a line suddenly formed behind him.

"Just give me the money. If you want to ask, just ask the county magistrate."

Song Jin has always been confused, remembering that in his previous life, the big cities had roads extending in all directions, and the city managers just had to post the words "Welcome to my home" everywhere.

When people come to the city, it means consumption, and consumption means economic revitalization.

This is a stagnant pool of water, where are the taxes coming from?
  But it seems different here. There is a capitation fee for entering the city, one penny per person, and even a donkey cart is charged. Doesn't this exclude a large number of people from outside the city?
  People would also think that one penny can buy a steamed bun, so it is not worthwhile to hand it over for free, and this is not how money is spent.

Song Jingbei naturally paid the money. As a person, bargaining is normal.

As soon as he entered the city, Song Jin smelled the fragrance of wontons.

Having fought with someone before, I was already hungry, and now I had the urge to sit down and eat ten or eight bowls of it in one go.

Song Jin thought so and was ready to do this.

She jumped out of the car and reached out to pick up Shixuan Shiquan. Brother, park the car in the open space over there. Let’s eat something first to fill our stomachs.

Song Jingbei had no objection, he was also hungry.

The stall owners are a young couple. When they see people coming, the woman immediately greets them with a smile.

"What do you gentlemen want to eat? There are wontons, dumplings, rice noodles and glutinous rice balls."

Song Jin lowered his head and asked the two little ones, who were a little timid and confused.

Song Jin immediately understood that the two little ones had never been to the county town. The environment here was extremely strange to them, and they could not feel as comfortable as at home.

"Okay, let's eat wontons like mother."

Song Jin didn't even ask the adults or children. How dare you choose?

"Shopkeeper, please bring six bowls of wontons first."

"Okay! Sit down and wait." The clean table was wiped down again by the landlady in front of the guests.

Song Jin took the people to sit down with confidence.

The two little ones were close to Song Jin, one on the left and the other on the right. They fell asleep several times on the road, and they were in good spirits now. Except for the uneasiness in their eyes, Qingyu was not much better.

It seems that I will take them out to see the world more in the future.

When the wontons are served, they are fragrant and the green onions on top are very appetizing.

Song Jin took the spoons for the two little ones and touched the back of their heads, "Eat it."

He lowered his head and ate fiercely. He quickly reached the bottom and dragged the bowl away from the middle of the table.

Song Jingbei thought that bowl was superfluous, and he thought that his sister really took care of him and even gave him extra food.

But now, Song Jingbei just felt that he was truly wrong.

"Shopkeeper, have another bowl."

The landlady looked up and saw the sassy and good-looking young lady, and immediately agreed with a smile.

The man who was in charge of working on the stove couldn't help but ask his wife, "What's so special about this little lady?"

The landlady glared at her man, "What's so special about her? I just like her."

The boss was silent for a moment, then he sighed as he thought of something.

"Alas! What do you think we should do about my father's illness? Even the doctors at Shouantang can't do anything about it."

Speaking of this, the proprietress was also very worried. She was the child bride of this family. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law raised her like a daughter. Three years ago, her father-in-law contracted a strange disease and became bedridden. They, their sons and daughters, looked everywhere for medical advice, but there was no one. The doctor treated me well.

"Let's see again. If it doesn't work, let's go find Mingzhao's number one miraculous doctor. As long as he can cure dad's disease, we can sell him to him as cattle or horses."

The couple thought they were talking quietly, but they couldn't bear it. Song Jin had a good ear.

Song Jin raised his eyelids and pushed the newly brought wontons in front of Song Jingbei.

Then he asked Gu Qingyu if he wanted to add another bowl, and the little girl quickly waved her hand.

As for Shixuan Shiquan, it was obvious that he couldn't finish the meal, so he gave some to Song Jin.

After eating one meal, Song Jin did the most.

But she was only half full, and after touching the banknotes in the space, Song Jin was going to go to the bank to exchange them for silver.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, as if something had happened.

【Ding! Temporary mission, save the old man and teach Song Wenhong a lesson]

Song Jin was stunned for a moment: [That foreigner? 】

【Yes, it is! The other one is your cousin Li Yuwang]

Song Jin: "..." I don't know him!

Song Jin pushed the two little ones to Song Jingbei and immediately prepared to clear the way.
