A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

"You're welcome. Hello! You are Xiaofeng's classmates and good friends. It's natural for friends to help each other. You don't need to say thank you next time. Come on, get on the carriage!"

"Yes, Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Xingfeng helped move the two people's luggage onto the carriage.

After the luggage was moved, the three of them sat in the carriage.

Seeing that the three people were already seated in the carriage, Zhang's father drove the carriage towards the county town.

Zhou Heng thanked him, "Xingfeng, thank you this time. If it weren't for you, Su Huai and I would have to stay in an inn."

Su Huai: "Yes, Xingfeng, we even take your carriage to the county town."

"Hey, you guys are really welcome. Didn't I say it before? We are classmates and good friends. When we are out and about, just like Master said, we should help each other. If I don't have this ability, I would be helpless even if I wanted to help.

Now that I can help, and it's not a big deal, you two should stop being polite.

Besides, we are here to take the exam for the scholar, and it would be a good opportunity for you to stay at my house so that you can have a good rest. During the period of the college entrance examination, the inn must be expensive, and there will be many people and it will definitely be noisy. If you don't get a good rest, it will result in the two of you not having the energy to take the exam well. Isn't that not worth it?

Besides, haven’t you been wanting to see our eldest brother and my eldest sister for a long time? I heard from people who came back from our village yesterday that my eldest brother and my eldest sister are both in their house in the county town, and you will be able to see them this time.”

Zhou Heng and Su Huai were delighted when they heard this.

Zhou Heng: "Really? I've been curious about your elder brother and your elder sister for a long time, especially the food your elder sister made, hehe."

The family conditions of Zhou Heng and Su Huai's families are not as good as Zhang Xingfeng's. It can only be said that they are not bad in their own village. Their parents travel between the village and the town every day to do small business, which can support their studies and family life.

Because their home was in the village, they usually lived in the private school and only went home for one day during the ten-day holiday.

So Zhang Xingfeng often brought food from his own food shop to the private school and cooked special meals for the two of them.

One to two to go.

The two also learned about the general situation of Zhang Xingfeng's family, and became curious about his elder brother and elder sister whom he often talked about.

In particular, his elder sister can cook a lot of delicious food. The biscuits and pastries that he brought to the private school before were all made by his elder sister.

Zhang’s house in the county town.

Zhang Yunyue told Li Lan yesterday that she should prepare more food as they would be staying here for several days.

He also reminded that in addition to the people who were already here today, there was a high possibility that someone from home would come today, so they would have to prepare a little more lunch.

and so.

Early in the morning.

Li Lan took her daughter Chen Xiang to the street to buy vegetables and meat.

After buying it, the two of them started preparing the meal in the kitchen without stopping.

As soon as noon arrives.

Zhang's father also drove a horse-drawn carriage into the county town.

Zhang Xingfeng had been to the county town several times, so there was nothing new about it.

On the contrary, Zhou Heng and Su Huai only came to the county town when they took the examination for the status of a student, and have never been there since then.

Besides, the two of them were just teenagers in their teens, only one or two years older than Zhang Xingfeng.

Now he sat in the carriage, opened the curtains on both sides, and looked out the window.

Show a curious expression.

Su Huai: "Xiao Feng, do you come to the county town often? I don't think you are curious about the county town."

"They rarely come here. Only during the Lantern Festival every year, my family will come to the county town to stay for two days."

"So when you were walking around the county, did you find any fun places in the county?"

"Well, I didn't find anything fun at that time, but there is a snack street over on West Street. The snacks there are quite delicious. Every year during the Lantern Festival, when our family comes, we will go to that snack street to hang out. We don't have time these two days, so why don't we go to the snack street after we finish the exams?"

"That's fine. After we finish the exam, we can go and relax."

Although Zhou Heng and Su Huai stayed at Zhang Xingfeng's house during the days of the college entrance examination, their parents also prepared some silver and money for them to use.

Not long after entering the county town.

Zhang's father drove the carriage to Taoyuan Lane.

Near noon, Chen Yuan received a notice from the young lady, asking him to wait at the door to pick up Xiaofeng and the others.

He stayed at the door for nearly half an hour, thinking that it was almost time for lunch. If no one came, he would go into the house to eat first, and then come back to continue guarding after he finished eating.

I didn't expect to just think of this.

Then the sound of horse hooves was heard in the alley, and soon Zhang's father drove a horse-drawn carriage to the door.

When Chen Yuan saw Zhang's father park the carriage at the gate of the mansion, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, you are here. Miss said yesterday that you should come today. She also asked me to meet you at the gate early this morning. I didn't expect Miss to guess so accurately. You really came around noon."

Chen Yuanbian said this as he took the reins from Zhang's father.

"Ayuan, are Xiaoyun and Yueyue both in the house?"

"Yes, Master, and the young lady and the young master's friends, Mr. Mo is also here."

"Okay, I see."

The three people in the carriage took their luggage and jumped out one after another.

Zhou Heng and Su Huai stood at the door of the house, looking at it. They didn't expect it to be so magnificent. They both stayed where they were.

Father Zhang said with a smile, "Xiaofeng, quickly bring your classmates into the house."

"Got it, Dad."

He said to the two of them: "Zhou Heng, Su Huai, I will take you in."

The two followed Zhang Xingfeng into Zhang's house, and Zhang's father followed closely behind.

Chen Yuan led the carriage to the backyard.

Zhang Xingfeng took Zhou Heng and Su Huai to the main hall first.

At this time, Zhang Yunyue, Zhang Xingyun and Mo Yan were sitting in the main hall chatting.

As soon as Zhang Xingfeng entered the yard, he shouted to the main hall: "Brother, Sister, Brother Mo, we are here."

When the three people in the main room heard Zhang Xingfeng's voice, they immediately got up and left the room.

"Dad, Xiaofeng, you are finally here."

"Uncle Zhang, Xiaofeng."

Father Zhang smiled and said, "Xiaoyun, Yueyue, Ayan, I haven't seen you for more than a month."

"Brother, sister, Brother Mo, these are my two classmates, Zhou Heng and Su Huai. They are here to take the exam this time too. I thought the house in the county town could be habitable, so I invited them to stay at our house for a few days."

Zhou Heng and Su Huai bowed to the three people and said, "Zhou Heng/Su Huai greets Mr. Zhang, Miss Zhang, and Mr. Mo."

Zhang Xingyun: "Since you are Xiaofeng's classmates, you can call me Brother Zhang, and call Xiaofeng Sister Yue. Don't feel restrained when you live here for a few days. Just treat it as your own home. If you have any questions, just talk to Xiaofeng."

"Yes, thank you, Brother Zhang, Sister Yue."

Zhang Yunyue said to Chen Quan who was standing beside him, "Uncle Chen, please tell Aunt Li that the food can be served now. The family members are here."

"Yes, ma'am."
