Before, because the series of things surrounding grain chiefs were all matters in the county town, Wang Fulin had almost never visited the city. Now that he had unloaded his burden, he planned to go to the city. So he still did not sit on the slide, but only took Qiu Feng to follow him, and walked west along the county back street, entering the city from Deshengmen, which was connected to the city west of the county town. Because he was suppressing his uncle's work as grain chief, he stopped at the door of a rice shop without realizing it.

The summer tax of wheat in Huizhou Prefecture is more than 50,000 stones, and the autumn grain is more than 120,000 stones. This is because there are few wheat fields and many rice fields in the entire Huizhou Prefecture. At this time, the wheat is gradually ripe and the harvest season is entered. The rice fields are still early, and it will take at least two or three months to ripen. Therefore, the rice and wheat outside the rice shop are all the goods for the next year. There are also some mountain goods inside, and it is obvious that they also do business with these mountain delicacies here.

Wang Fulin went in and took a casual look. Seeing that there were also snacks like melon seeds, in addition to black fungus walnuts, etc., he couldn't help but feel moved. He summoned a young man who was about fifteen or sixteen years old and asked about the price of rice and wheat. When he learned that it was five cents per stone of rice and three cents per stone of wheat, he casually asked what the price of grain was. As a result, the young man who was originally quite attentive looked at Wang Fulin's clothes. Seeing that he was just a young man in a civilian, he immediately changed his face.

"Selling grain? Then what are you talking about just now! If it is wheat, one stone of wheat, two coins and four silvers. Barley, one stone of barley is only two coins."

When Wang Fulin heard the huge difference between in and out, he couldn't help but frown. Qiu Feng, who had lived in the city for a long time, was quite clear about these tricks of the tyrants, and immediately went up and said, "Little officials, they have been doing well in recent years, so the food price is low. Moreover, the summer tax is imminent, and the price of grain collection in the city has dropped a lot."

"What are you diving? Is it going to sell it? I have something to say first. I have to sell it for five stones and ten stones, which is just that price. If you sell it for one hundred and eighty stones, it will not be that high, at least 10% off!"

Seeing that the young man looked like he was selling but not selling, Wang Fulin asked casually, and he was even more disappointed at this time. Thinking that he was only a working guy, he was too lazy to care about him, so he immediately turned around and left indifferently. But Qiu Feng saw that the young man cursed and rolled his eyes. He thought that so many top students gathered in the Ma Family Inn yesterday, but they were all very polite to Wang Fulin. He seemed to think of the young man's contemptuous attitude from the moment he had been treated with the lust.

"What are you saying if you don't say it clean? My little official just asked casually, how do you do business!"

"Little official? Oh, nowadays, I dare to call myself an official and don't urinate!" Although the young man was fifteen or sixteen years old, he opened his mouth with sharp teeth. He immediately started to laugh, "Even this clothed cloth, can he dare to call himself an official?"

"My little official is a scholar!"

"Just a poor scholar, dare to act wild in the city?"

After all, Qiu Feng was just angry for a moment. He really wanted to argue, but he was so choked that he couldn't speak. As if he had heard his accent, the young man even laughed: "The south of the two streams in She County is not as good as the Shangshan Mountain in Xiuning. If you have the ability, buy the rice shop in Xiuning Wu family, otherwise you can get out as soon as possible!"

Wang Fulin saw such a guy who looked down on others. Seeing Qiu Feng being squeezed by this guy one after another, his face turned red and almost cried. Then he said angrily: "You have been reading for a few years, have you never seen such a person who is dressed in a dress? He is still competing with others. Can you be too free? If you leave, what are you going to care about!"

Seeing Qiu Feng gouging him hard, the young man followed Wang Fulin and said a little sarcastically. He didn't expect that at this moment, a group of people on the road surrounded by a large sedan chair carried by four people, and barely stopped in front of the pair of masters and servants. He glanced at the followers, and the young man who was most familiar with the big families in the city quickly came forward with a smile on his face, nodded and asked, "But Mr. Xu's family? The mountain goods I sent last time were fine? The owner said that if he felt it was good, he would go back and search for top-notch ones."

Wang Fulin only vaguely felt that the sedan chair and the follower had seen him. When he heard the word Xu, he understood. Sure enough, the curtain was beaten up in one hand in a moment, and the old woman of the Xu family who had met before. So he immediately took the initiative to say hello: "I have met the old lady."

"I happened to see it from a distance that it seemed to be you, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." Fang, an old lady from the Xu family, looked at Wang Fulin with a smile for a while, and then said happily, "It's better to have a day than to choose a day. I will save you the trouble of posting you. I'll sit at home? Go back and call your sister, and you will tell everyone, how did the storm happen in the county government yesterday?"

"The old lady is too good. It's not the reason why I decided to make trouble. It's the traitor who is greedy and exposed." Wang Fulin denied it. Seeing Fang looking at him just laughing, he didn't want to continue to quarrel on the street, so he could only laugh, "Since the old lady invites me, I'll be upset."

Fang immediately told the sedan chair to walk slowly, and she wanted to talk to Wang Fulin all the way. Immediately, the group of people didn't even look at the attentive Mixing clerk and left like that.

The guy who was completely ignored stood there stupidly. When Qiu Feng left, he smiled at him as if he was demonstrating. He finally realized that he was blind today and did not recognize anyone.

His boss can't even get a chance among the wealthy merchants in Xiuning County, so he is like the Xu family in Fucheng Doushan Street. In the past, he can't be cursed. If the young scholar who just looked down on me just now, his boss will not be able to keep his job, let alone his own job? This is a disaster!

Fang is a kind and talkative old man. Wang Fulin accompanied her along the way, but she didn't feel tired. Because she did not ask questions about topics that might attract others' attention on such a street, but instead asked about his studies, Jinbao's studies, and the father and son's daily life. Especially when Wang Fulin carried someone back to the Ma Family Inn yesterday, she was even more curious about the experience of Wang Fulin returning to the Ma Family Inn from the magistrate behind the county government office. When asked in detail, Wang Fulin was even a little embarrassed, but more often he was casual when chatting with his older relatives.

"I heard someone tell you that you accepted an adopted son before. I was just a novelty. Later, I heard your elder sister say that, and I was amazed. But no matter how others think, you are the ones who live. Yesterday I heard that Jin Bao actually knelt down and begged Ye County Master, and you carried him back with the injured knee and inconvenient to walk. I knew that even if you two were only six years apart, those fathers and sons who were like sons were hard to do this. It was really not easy."

Speaking of this, Fang glanced at Wang Fulin's tender face for a few more times, and finally sighed: "Your parents are not here, you are the master of your own country, and you have passed through every level and every level. It's not easy."

"It's just a lucky person. Besides, I'm not really moving forward alone. There are elders in the clan, friends, and Ye County Zun's repeated care." Wang Fulin would not evaluate himself too high. Even if the backer behind him was only invisible, it was also very important. Master Cheng also helped a lot. As for the unreliable Ye County Zun, if he hadn't adopted a banner, how could he be convincing at this age? So, he said while smiling, and finally said, "And Jinbao is even more sensible, and the others around me are doing their best."

Fang did not expect that Wang Fulin would be so humble after becoming famous for a while, and he immediately felt more favorable. At this time, he had already arrived at the Xu family mansion on Doushan Street. After entering the gate, the sedan chairman put the sedan chair rod down from his shoulder. Wang Fulin thought Fang was going to the ground, but he didn't expect that the four sedan chairmen would use it together like this. He only held the sedan chair with elbows and walked along the long fire alley to the end, and finally put the sedan chair down.

After getting out of the sedan chair, Fang nodded slightly to the maid who was greeting, and continued to talk to the young scholar who was so old that he was a grandson, and walked to the backyard like a walk. When he heard about the hero banquet of the top scholar building in the future, Cheng Kui and other students from She County who were about to take the provincial examination also invited Wang Fulin to attend, she smiled and said, "We should go and see. The five counties have nearly 200 people together. The scene is lively, and all the top figures will show up to encourage everyone."

Wang Fulin was a little confused about this and couldn't help but ask: "This is just a provincial examination, not a good test, why are you so generous?"
