When I packed up my things and came out of the dormitory, it was almost noon.

After lunch, I took the old farmer home. On the way home, the old farmer told me about sending Sister Wu home last night. He said that a Sister Wu fell in love with him, so he made him happy for free, and wanted him to go to her often.

I told the old farmer not to think too much, she is fond of your money and power. The old farmer said indifferently, what if he doesn't like me? He just plays and doesn't seriously. I asked him to take it easy, after all, there is a bird at home. The old farmer nodded casually, and didn't know if he took my words to heart.

When I got home, I put down the changing clothes and asked Que'er to help wash them. I used a lot of water to wash them. In order to make it easier to pour water with water, people in the shop usually went to the ditch near the water station to wash their clothes. When Que'er took out a large basin, the old farmer followed them happily, saying that he wanted to help. I saw that his smile was not funny, and I was afraid that he would take this opportunity to cook the raw rice into a meal. I couldn't control this matter, so I could only let him go.

After the old farmer and Que'er left, I took out the cloth bag containing the money and handed it to my family. Seeing that I had brought so much money back, my family was worried and asked me where the money came from. I explained it according to the expected words. My mother asked me what the business was doing. I said I was selling mutton to the army, and the Bi family provided the goods, and I ran errands.

"What a big deal to get so much money running errands."

In the small bedroom, my mother stroked the stacks of banknotes with her trembling hands, and was very excited.

"This young master of the Bi family is really good to you, you must not let him down!"

"That's certain." I smiled slightly, "We are brothers."

"Isn't it just a brother?" Grandma said with a smile, "When you get married to the Bi family's daughter, you have to call him eldest brother."

Well, it seems that's true.

If I got married to Miss Bi, I would become Bi Jin's brother-in-law and would call him elder brother.

It is a good thing for us to have a love affair, but for Miss Bi...

I frowned and became upset. While my family was paying attention to money, I forced a smile and said I was going out to see what the old farmer and Queer were doing, and then left the house.

Why am I bored? Where does this feeling of depression come from?

After leaving the house, I saw that the clothes and large basins were thrown into the yard, but the old farmer and Queer didn't know where they had gone. The clothes and basins were all here, so the two of them must have gone to wash clothes. I shook my head helplessly, sighed, took out the clothes, pressed the basins upside down, and then left the yard.

There are places similar to hotels in the shop. Yuanxing dialect is called "Shuojiuer". In fact, it is a renovated house specially used for staying. The backyard of the Shuojiuer has a toilet, but it has to be used for a fee. The front yard is a shed selling food and drinks, and food and drinks are charged. If you count all the food, drink, defecation and sensation, it will cost at least 30 cents to live in such a place for a day.

The cheapest bunk in the stop is only five cents a day. This kind of bunk is located in a room converted from a warehouse. A space of only five or six square meters can squeeze out twelve beds, divided into three floors, middle and lower. When people lie in, they can only barely stretch them out, which is very frustrating. Because the space is too small, they can hardly hold their luggage.

There are also good shops in the stopping room, such as a single room converted from a kitchen and a grain warehouse. Each room has only one or two beds. The space is relatively large, but the price is also expensive, which costs at least 50 cents a day, which is more expensive than staying in a hotel on the street.

In addition to renting by day, there is another way to use a single room, which is to charge by time. Within the specified time, as long as you don’t break things, you can do whatever you want. Generally speaking, the store will use an hourglass pot to count the time. It takes about an hour to complete a pot of sand, and the cost of a pot of time is about one cent.

When staying in a hotel, if you live in a single room and use it temporarily, you can just tell the store that you want to rent a few "pots", so this usage is called "staying in a pot room".

Normal people stay in a hotel, but basically don’t live in a pot room. They are all men and women. They come to live in a pot room one by one - to put it bluntly, they do that kind of thing. So now when you talk about living in a pot room, the first reaction of the people in the shop is to do that kind of thing.

My family turned right and walked about fifty meters away. There was a family who stopped. I think most of the old farmers took the birds there to live in the pot. I couldn't go find them, so I could only stroll around the house and adjust my mood.

Before he could walk far, a man in a blue sleeveless brocade jacket walked up to me. The man looked about forty years, with a round face, beard, and a kind smile on his face. He stopped me, bowed his body and said.

"You are the gunman, the second lieutenant?"

"Well, I am." I nodded, "Is you..."

"I'm here to be the manager of the Yiwang Mansion, and my name is Liu Qing. Xuan Sheng is waiting for you to invite me, please come with me."

People from the Yiwang Mansion? Uh... Why do people from the Yiwang Mansion do things for Xuan Shenghou? Who is this Xuan Shenghou?

I don’t know much about the royal family and the nobles. Whether it is the king or the wait, I cannot afford to offend me, a commoner. If someone asks me to go, I must go.

"Can I let me go home and notify me?"

"Second Lieutenant Gun, Xu Xuan Sheng just wanted to talk to you, it didn't take much time. The Marquis was waiting for you in the nearby car, only a few minutes away."

"Then...then I'll ask you to lead the way."

I was not surprised that the people from the Yiwang Mansion could easily find me. Yihong once said that the Yiwang Mansion was investigating me, but maybe it was always monitoring me. Even if they didn't monitor me, they were so powerful that it would be easy for them to find me, a little man with a surname and a family, in Yuanxing City.

When Liu Qing was planning to guide me, I suddenly realized that this guy might be an undercover agent in Prince Li’s Mansion. If he came to beat me up, I would really have to go home and tell me about it so that my family would not worry.

"That... Manager Liu, I'll ask you a presumptuous question, do you know Jia Long?"

"Jaron?"

Liu Qing was stunned when he heard this, then narrowed his eyes and showed a meaningful smile.

"Secretary Gun, what do you plan to do if I say I know each other?"

If you say you know each other - there is something in your words!

I remember that Bi Jin and Jia Long both said that they did not tell me the truth because I couldn't act well after I knew the truth. But I already knew the truth. When I knew the truth, my first reaction was that the plan of Prince Li's Mansion had been exposed. Liu Qing asked this question to test my position.

To be honest, I don’t have much confidence in the plan of the Prince Li Mansion. This plan is too simple and too easy to break, and I also said that the strength of the Prince Li Mansion is weaker than that of the Prince Yi Mansion.

The difference in strength between the two sides is too big, and the little red has also expressed it. When the Li Palace is in a position of reason, as long as it does not receive support from other factions, it will not be able to do anything to the Yi Palace, which is very telling.

To be on the safe side, I will definitely ask a few questions tentatively. No matter what the result is, I will not make my position.

What if I don't know the truth?

Well... With my understanding of myself, I will most likely notice something is wrong. I will not foolishly say what I am saying, but will pretend to be stupid and act like I am just helping my friends and I don’t know anything that happened.

It also does not express its position, what is the difference between the former and the latter?

The answer is very simple, that is, whether it is knowledgeable or not. As long as the other party realizes that I am an insider, then even if I don’t make my position, the other party will treat me as a member of the Li Palace, because I am helping the Li Palace with knowledge. If I don’t know, it is true neutrality.
