Are you angry or not?

Si Qing immediately ran over and said, "Bring me two skewers of candied haws."

"Okay!" The vendor happily took off two bunches of red candied haws and handed them to Si Qing. Si Jinbai, who followed, immediately took out ten coins from his arms and handed them to him.

"Jinbai, please keep the money first. I will convert the silver into copper coins and return it to you later."

It's not that she didn't want to pay. When she left, she only brought out silver. Ten taels of silver to buy ten cents of candied haws, that was too troublesome.

"Auntie, what are you talking about? This is what I should give, and there is no need to repay it." If he dared to accept it, his father would have him crippled when he returned home.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the candy vendor shouting: "Little girl, your candy cock is ready!"

Si Qing turned around and ran over. Si Jinbai quickly followed and paid the other party five cents.

Si Qing has two candied haws in his left hand and a candied rooster in his right hand. He has baby fat, a white and tender face, and dark eyes, which looks particularly festive.

People passing by couldn't help but look at her more.

Candied haws are made from yam beans. They taste sweet and soft and taste really good. Si Qing ate one bunch and gave the other bunch to Si Jinbai.

But Si Jinbai didn't eat it, but wrapped it up and said he would take it back to the children to eat.

When it was time to eat candied haws, the two of them went to a candy shop and asked about the price. It was not expensive, just two for a penny, and they were caramel cut into small cubes. Si Qing bought a hundred of them in one go.

When paying, Si Jinbai bargained a lot with the candy seller, and finally paid only forty-five cents.

After buying the candy, Si Qing spent twenty coins on a pair of exquisite beaded flowers from a small stall selling jewelry on the street.

After walking around the market, Si Qing never spent the money he had, so he had to go to the bank to exchange ten taels of silver into copper coins.

In the Yong Dynasty, one tael of silver could be exchanged for one thousand copper coins, ten taels of silver could be exchanged for ten thousand coins, and one tael was worth one thousand copper coins. Finally, Si Qing took ten coins and counted 86 coins from them to return to Si Jinbai.

"Auntie, I can't accept it. This is all to honor you, how can I let you return it!" Si Jinbai refused to accept it.

Si Qing didn't want to attract other people's attention by pushing and pushing him, so he had to give up.

It was already late (two o'clock) when we returned to the county government office. Magistrate Zhao asked someone to pull three cows out of the stable and hand them over to Secretary Qing.

In order to prevent accidents on the road, Magistrate Zhao specially arranged for Xing Wu to take two government officials to send them back together.

Of course, Si Qing was disrespectful because she was in need of a cowherd, so the three government servants became miserable cowherds.

On the contrary, Si Jinbai and Si Qing, one was driving an ox cart, and the other was young and had to ride an ox cart. Not only did they not have to pull the ox, they also didn't have to walk.

You say it's irritating or not.

Xing Wu walked with the cow and complained: "Little girl, can't you let him come and replace us? After all, we are also county government errands. Now we are leading the cow for you. Isn't it a bit too much?"

The other two government officials also nodded: "That's right, let him change it."

"Okay, then can you drive an ox cart?" Si Qing leaned comfortably on the ox cart and looked askance at the trio.

"Isn't it just driving a bullock cart? Who can't?"

Xing Wu rolled up his sleeves and handed the reins to the yamen servant beside him. Then he walked to the ox cart and said to Si Jinbai, "Get down and I'll drive."

Si Jinbai turned around and glanced at Si Qing. When Si Qing nodded, he got out of the carriage. Xing Wu sat on it happily and shouted: "Drive!"
