The number one scholar is a piece of shit that everyone wants

"Ah! Help! Someone is killing me."

Tian Guihua, who was being pressed under Ye Fanxing, howled like a pig being slaughtered.

At this time, the crowd on the oxcart couldn't help it anymore and started to persuade him: "Xing'er, what are you doing? That's your sister-in-law."

"Xing'er, let go of your sister Guihua. You are a boy after all, you should avoid suspicion at least!"

"We are all family, please don't hurt the harmony."

Ye Fanxing glanced at those people who were taking sides and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't advise others to be good without experiencing their suffering. If you have experienced my suffering, you may not be as good as I am."

Ye Fanxing's plain words were like a knife, stabbing fiercely into the hearts of everyone present, but there were still some people who continued to fan the flames for fear that things would become too serious.

"This Xing brother is different now that he married an educated man. He even started to speak in a refined manner."

"What's the point of being kind? I only know that you can't write two characters for leaves with one stroke."

……

Ye Fanxing vaguely heard someone asking when Qian Xiangwen would leave, and knew that if she continued to pester him, she would surely arouse public anger, so she stood up swiftly and released Tian Guihua.

"Hmph, just wait, Ye Fanxing, I will definitely make you pay."

Tian Guigui was probably having a stupid brain accident and was still yelling, but this time she learned her lesson and stayed away from Ye Fanxing.

"Okay, I'll wait."

Tian Guihua was a little dissatisfied and wanted to retort, but just as she was about to open her mouth, she saw Ye Fanxing looking at her with a crooked mouth. The coldness in his eyes made Tian Guihua tremble all over. She quickly closed her mouth and dared not say another word along the way.

Because of this little episode, the road to Chiding Town was particularly quiet this time, allowing Qian Xiangwen, the coachman, to have a rare moment of peace and quiet.

After shaking and swaying on the ox cart for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at the destination. As soon as Ye Fanxing got off the cart, he felt his legs go weak. Fortunately, Brother Zao supported him and he did not fall.

The ox carts from their village were parked outside the city. At a glance at the parking space, all they could see were either mule carts or ox carts, but there were no horse carts.

In order to own a horse, a family must either be extremely wealthy or have a scholar who has passed the imperial examination.

Poor students had to rely on the whole family's support to study. Even if they passed the imperial examination, they still could not afford a horse.

Of course, there are places to park carriages and horses in the city, but that costs money, plus it also costs money to bring carriages and horses into the city, so for small business car owners, it is most cost-effective to park their cars outside the city.

Since there was a market today, Qian Xiangwen specifically informed everyone of the return time, so that everyone would not miss the time because of the excitement of shopping and have to walk back in the end.

Ye Fanxing discovered that there were quite a few people doing business outside the city gate, but most of them were selling firewood.

Not only are these things worthless, they are also large in size, and there is no need to worry about anyone trying to steal them.

When Ye Fanxing saw the city wall of Chiding Town in front of him, which was estimated to be about 7 meters high, he suddenly remembered that he had read "Wubeizhi".

I vaguely remember the book saying "In general, the height of a city wall, excluding the battlements, must be 40 feet, or 35 feet, and the bottom must also be 30 feet. The front width must be 25 feet, and the bottom width must be 60 feet. For a medium-sized city wall, the height of the body excluding the battlements must be 25 feet, and the bottom width must be 50 feet. For a small city wall, the height of the body excluding the battlements must be 20 feet, the front width must be 15 feet, and the bottom width must be 40 feet."

There are more than twenty villages around Chiding Town. As it is the nearest town to Kangzhou Prefecture, it has a large flow of people and several street markets. Its economy is quite good, so it can be called a small town.

After entering the city, Ye Fanxing was attracted by the words, "Candied Haws... Candied Haws that are hot and don't stick to your teeth..."

Following the sound, I saw many children who followed their parents to the market and stopped at the candied haws stalls and refused to leave.

Those who dote on their children at home will directly hand the money to the boss after asking the price. Then they will see the children eagerly taking the candied haws and taking a bite, with satisfaction on their young faces.

Of course, there were also adults who took the children who wanted candied haws and walked away directly...

Ye Fanxing thought of Xiaonan at home and decided to buy him one when she returned home to make him happy.

As for why the candied haws were warm, Ye Fanxing felt relieved once she figured it out.

The syrup used for dipping is hot, so the candied haws just dipped must be hot. In modern times, this should be considered a means of drainage.

This was the first time that Ye Fanxing personally experienced such a lively market. She did not dare to look around with her excited eyes, but just followed Zao Ge'er silently.

When they arrived at a place where they could set up a stall, Ye Fanxing helped Zao Ge'er put out the wild mushrooms and other vegetables for sale. Seeing that it would take some time to sell all these things, he decided to go shopping on his own.

After all, if you want to make money, you must first understand the market conditions.

There are not many varieties of vegetables at the market, mostly wild mushrooms and wild vegetables, followed by eggs.

Ye Fanxing asked about the prices one by one. Compared with vegetables, eggs are relatively cheaper here. A chicken egg costs three copper coins, a duck egg costs two copper coins, and a goose egg costs one copper coin.

The only green vegetable he could name was leek, a handful costing five copper coins. He took it in his hand and weighed it, and it was only about half a pound.

Ye Fanxing also asked about the prices of rice and flour in the grain and oil shop. Rice, flour and oil are all divided into different grades, and the prices quoted by the waiter are really what you pay for.

Ye Fanxing pinched the purse with only thirty cents in it in his sleeve, weighed the options, and finally could only buy cornmeal at two copper coins per pound, which cost him twenty cents in one go.

He also planned to buy some candied haws for Xiaonan, some cloth, and some seasonings...

Looking at the remaining ten cents, Ye Fanxing could only blame himself for thinking too much.

After carrying the backpack, Ye Fanxing walked towards the largest clinic in the town - Baohetang.

"My dear, what can I do for you?"

As soon as he entered the door, a man wearing an indigo-colored coarse short-sleeved shirt came over with a smile, and did not show any disrespect to Ye Xinglan because of his clothes.

Husband... Yeah! There's nothing wrong with this name!

Ye Fanxing put away the slight embarrassment just now and asked directly: "I wonder if your clinic can accept medicinal materials?"

Before the waiter could reply, a burst of hurried shouting was heard.

"Move aside, move aside...human life is at stake, doctor..."

I saw four men who looked like weak scholars, panting and carrying a wooden door, rushing into the clinic quickly, followed by a woman who was running out of breath.

"Doctor, doctor, help me, please save my son. I kowtow to you."

The woman cried and then banged her smooth forehead on the ground.

The doctor Zhang Renjing quickly examined the patient, asked a few more questions, and finally sighed and said, "You should take him back and prepare for his funeral. I'm sorry that I'm not well-trained enough to treat him."

When Doctor Zhang was treating the patient, Ye Fanxing watched carefully and listened to the description of the patient's condition. Based on his medical knowledge, he believed that the patient should have malaria.

Ye Fanxing looked at the man lying on the bed, his face looked really bad. If he continued like this, he was afraid he would really die. On impulse, he said, "Can I take a look at the patient?"
