An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Knowing that everyone in their family was going to the city, the others were very envious, but no one was willing to follow them and spend so much money.

They didn't dare spend the money. For them, the big bunk bed they lived in now was already very good. If they spent a little more change to bribe the maid and the waiter, they could also buy some hot water. If they couldn't wash thoroughly, they could at least wipe their bodies. Naturally, they didn't want to waste the money.

Besides, considering their current situation, a large family like this going to town wasn't just a matter of finding a hotel. Even if the children saw someone selling candied haws, they would stare eagerly, unable to resist buying. Not only would that cost them money, it would also only increase their anticipation for the journey, and they might even develop a desire to avoid hardship. It would be better to let them rest, be content with the status quo, and eliminate their desires.

They all planned to do as they did before, with each family sending a few people to buy some food tomorrow, some durable straw sandals to wear over their cotton shoes, and some more oil paper to pad the soles of the shoes to prevent the snow water from seeping in too quickly and reduce wear and tear.

I have to buy a few more radishes and roast them so that the children can wipe their frostbitten hands and feet. Otherwise, the pain and itching will occur every year and they will suffer for the rest of their lives.

Since many people were infected with the cold, and even many old people and children had coughs, the doctors in the post station came in handy. However, they had no mercy on the prisoners. As long as they came to their door, they would ask for exorbitant prices. They would not prescribe any medicine but would ask for a few coins of silver. The prisoners could not afford the medical treatment at all, so they would not go to them for treatment unless they had no other choice. The kindness of these doctors was not even a little bit worse than that of Xiaobei's grandfather.

Jing Chunxi had already spent money to buy a lot of typhoid fever pills in the space. These were essential during the exile, so he asked Grandpa Xiaobei to help distribute them. However, after listening to his grandmother's advice, he only provided them to patients with more serious illnesses and did not distribute them in large quantities.

The typhoid medicine that was originally bought by servants in the capital was also brought out to Grandpa Xiaobei. If the condition was not serious, drinking the boiled water would provide relief.

The pharmacy in the space is very strange. It clearly uses very good medicine. Why does Jing Chunxi know this? It is because the patients are basically cured after taking it three or two times.

She thought she would have to spend a large sum of money again, but when she went to make the transaction, she found that the price of the medicine used on other prisoners was extremely low, about the same as the price of meat, which was a world of difference compared to the price of the medicine used to save her grandfather and the little dandy.

Jing Chunxi couldn't help but curse again: "This dog space is really deceptive. It divides people into different levels and doesn't even let the sick go."

Although Yiyang City is not as prosperous as the capital, it is the second largest city in Hubei County. When they entered the city, the shops on the street had already started to light up, and there were two or three-story buildings on both sides of the main street. Although they were not as magnificent as the shops in the capital, with carved dragons and phoenixes on the eaves, they also looked antique.

It had been raining for several days in a row, and the bluestone streets were very clean and refreshing. There were not many people on the streets at this time. Apart from the rustling sound of rain and snow, the only sound you could hear was the clattering of horses' and mules' hooves on the bluestone slabs. The sound was extremely clear, calming people's hearts and sweeping away the family's gloomy mood.

It’s right to go into the city.

But they had no intention of getting out for a leisurely stroll; time and weather did not permit. They simply sat in the car and watched quietly. Such a peaceful scene seemed like another world to them. Even the two little kids sat quietly, watching the bustling scene outside without making a sound, but they were reluctant to close their sleepy eyes.

The horse-drawn and mule-drawn carriages entered the city and went directly to the Hubei Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Yiyang City.

Although the Hubei Restaurant is large, it is not the best or most luxurious. After entering the city gate, Dalang and Jing Changning went down to inquire. This restaurant is named large only because of its large area.

I heard that in addition to the eight three-story shops facing the street that had been converted into restaurants, there were also several private rooms in the back, accommodating two to three hundred people. There was also a wide range of accommodation options, from affordable dormitories and multi-person rooms for the common people to the extremely prestigious Tianzi and Dizi rooms. The backyard was even fenced off with courtyards of varying sizes for passing dignitaries and merchant convoys.

Ordinary families traveling with one or two servants can choose the smallest courtyard; families with ten to twenty people can choose a mid-range courtyard; and large caravans and wealthy families can accommodate forty to fifty people in a large courtyard.

As soon as the horse-drawn or mule-drawn carriage pulled up to the side of the restaurant's gate, a waiter came out holding an oil-paper umbrella. He asked them if they were staying at the hotel, then ran in and arranged for two more people to come over. One of them asked them to get off the carriage and led them to the counter inside the shop, while another servant came out to help them arrange the carriage and horses. The service was extremely good.

The shopkeeper at the counter was also very welcoming when he saw the customers. He did not look at them differently even though they were dressed in shabby clothes. He respectfully introduced his own courtyard where they could stay to the first person who came forward, Dalang.

It was not until he saw Jing Yongcheng and Jing Changning walking behind him, both of them looking handsome, and the old lady who was being supported by someone following closely behind, with her brows revealing the nobility and composure of an official's wife, that he could not help but nodded slightly, but did not ask any more questions about their identities.

There were many of them, including Tao Jin, Heizi, and Lin's mother and daughter, totaling 19 people. Naturally, they could only choose a mid-range courtyard. The shopkeeper said that they could basically guarantee a room for two people, and the cost of one night's accommodation was only four taels of silver.

As expected, a big store does not cheat its customers. If they stayed in the official post station, they would ask for two more single rooms and ask the maids to bring some hot water, which would cost at least two taels of silver. It was really a monopoly deal and a big rip-off.

The waiter led them through the lobby into the backyard. It took them about half a cup of tea before they saw several large houses with small courtyards behind them.

They entered a double courtyard with the door only half-closed. A waiter was already waiting there. As soon as they entered, they saw that the courtyard was spotless and very tidy. Even the fallen leaves had been swept away.

The front yard is quite ordinary, but the flowers and plants have withered, but the trees are still there. If it were spring or summer, the grass and trees in the yard would be colorful and green, but now, although it looks a bit desolate, it is still the residence of a wealthy family.

Zhuang's arrangements were clear and precise, similar to the rules in the mansion: "The women will live in the backyard, while my father, mother, and Changning and their children will live in the front yard."

Jing Changning directly ordered the waiter: "Prepare three tables of food for us immediately, and cook according to your restaurant's specialties.

Ask the kitchen to boil some more hot water and bring it over later. We have come a long way, and everyone needs to wash up thoroughly."
