The scholar was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "You dare to talk nonsense like this! Do you believe that we are suing you for slander? You are uttering arrogant words at such a young age. How can I, a great scholar, be slandered by a lowly businessman like you?"
Aunt Xiao and Yan Ru were very angry, but they did not dare to scold them. They could only stamp their feet angrily: "What a scoundrel! A scoundrel!"
When Yingbao heard the accent of this person, she couldn't help but squinted her eyes, turned around and asked Aunt Xiao: "Auntie, can I see the registration book of their hotel?"
Aunt Xiao nodded, walked into the counter with Yingbao, took out the registration book and showed it to her. "Look, they registered at the end of April and didn't pay a penny. It's already the twelfth lunar month and they still haven't left."
Yingbao didn't pay attention to the date, but carefully checked their place of origin and age.
They are both native to Qinchuan County, but they live in different towns.
The information about one of them is very strange. He is only seventeen years old.
Yingbao raised his head and looked carefully at the people sitting in the lobby. Why didn't any of them look like they were seventeen years old?
The youngest one, although his beard has been shaved off and his face is covered with thick powder, it can't hide his age of almost thirty years old.
Plus this man's accent is from Zhouhe County, Yingbao guessed that his identity was different.
He is probably a scholar who pretended to be someone else and came to this county to take the exam.
Yingbao closed the registration book, ran to the opposite side of the two of them, put her hands on her hips and said, "I advise you to leave quickly! Otherwise, I will go to the county government to sue you for occupying someone else's household registration to take the exam!"
In fact, the scientific examination of occupancy registration occurs in every county, and it is not unusual at all, but it cannot be made public, otherwise it will be against the law.
These candidates are firstly because their families are poor and cannot afford to pay for catering students again and again. Second, they may be descendants of low-income people and cannot take the scientific examination, so they spend money to occupy other people's household registrations.
As for families with occupied registration, if within three generations there is a Linshan scholar or scholar, and their descendants take part in the scientific examination, they do not need to ask a Linshan student to be a guarantor.
As long as the students nearby buy the household registration of such a family and take the scientific examination by impersonating the name and household registration of their descendants, they can save a lot of money.
After all, not everyone can guarantee that they will pass the exam on the first try.
The two of them were startled, with unpredictable expressions on their faces.
Yingbao said again: "You must move out of the inn as soon as possible tomorrow. If you still don't leave, I will go to the county government to sue you for pretending to use someone else's household registration!"
Then he pointed at the man with a Zhouhe County accent and said, "You are from Zhouhe County, right? You even pretended to have a household registration in Shilipu. I advise you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise... hum!"
The face of the man wearing powder turned even paler, and he stammered: "You, you, you are talking nonsense! What are you pretending to be... I am what I am..."
Yingbao didn't listen to his nagging, so she pulled Yanru and turned around to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going?" The man was anxious. He suddenly stood up and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else in the lobby, he quickly said: "Let's leave now! Let's leave now! Don't go..." Reporter .
After saying that, he picked up the corner of his robe and ran back to the guest room to start packing.
Ying Bao and Yan Ru looked at each other and waited at the door of the inn.
These two people probably didn't come from a good background. When one of them saw his companion packing his things, he didn't dare to stay. He quickly packed up his luggage and left, running faster than anyone else.
It’s not that they don’t have money, but they just want to eat and drink here for free. Sometimes they go to the shops to eat and drink, and they also write down the accounts at the inn, saying that they will be written off together.
Seeing that both of them were gone, Aunt Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ying Bao, "Thank you so much, Ying Bao."
The scoundrel didn’t give any money in the end, but this was the best result.
As a merchant, I would never dare to offend these scholars. After all, no one knows whether they will be admitted to the scholar examination or something and come back to take revenge on me.
Moreover, these scholars are staying in hotels and have the government to support them in dealing with the aftermath, which inadvertently causes trouble to the merchants.
Scholars with good character will certainly not do this, but those with bad character will take advantage of the merchants and make them suffer.
Yingbao also knew their concerns, so she didn't say anything and took Yanru home. The next day, the Jiang family returned to their hometown with the purchased things to prepare for the wedding.
Because Jiang Cheng’s marriage must be held in the countryside.
It means that a sedan chair is sent from the hometown to welcome the bride to the hometown for the wedding ceremony. After the wedding is over, the couple will return to the county town to live.
Yingbao and Erni did not go back, so the two sisters lived in the backyard of the shop, and Jiang Cheng and Jiang Quan were still taking care of the shop.
Dani also wanted to stay for a few days, but the eldest uncle refused, saying that she was already engaged and could not let her mind wander.
Er Ni watched Dani board the carriage unhappily, and whispered to Ying Bao: "I must not get engaged early."
"Yeah!" Ying Bao nodded heavily: "It's true that you can't get engaged early, you're not free."
After the New Year, Erni is eleven years old, and Dani is fourteen. It is estimated that Dani will get married in a year or two.
She looked at Jiang Quan again.
The second cousin is also sixteen and almost as tall as the eldest cousin.
He was seen wearing a black gauze bun on his head, a silk flower in his ear, a black cross-collar short robe, and a blue cloth belt around his waist, with seven things hanging on the belt, and a small money bag.
He wears a pair of brand-new deerskin boots on his feet. Although his face is not as fair and handsome as that of his cousin, he is still handsome and upright. His eyes are shrewd, and he is a smart and capable person at first glance.
Such a second cousin should be able to become a big businessman in the future.
Because he has a more flexible mind than his elder cousin, is more courageous, and is very good at making troubles.
In just over a year, he has already gotten to know many people from all walks of life in the county, and he has become brothers with Detective Jin Wu and others, and they are very close friends.
That's why Zhang Jia and his concubine's father and brother did not dare to provoke their aunt Jiang Yunniang, let alone have any bad intentions towards the specialty shop.
Jiang Quan turned around, met his little cousin's eyes, and said with a smile: "Why are you staring at me? Do you think your second brother Feng Shen is so handsome that no one can match him?"
Ying Bao nodded seriously and said, "You would be more handsome if you didn't smile."
Jiang Quan's face twitched and he said angrily: "I have to laugh!" He grinned into a square shape.
Yingbao and Erni:…
"Brother Jiang Quan..." A delicate female voice sounded. "Do you still have your chestnut cake?"
Jiang Quan immediately calmed down his expression and turned around to look over.
I saw two girls of fourteen or fifteen years old walking into the shop.
Jiang Quan immediately had a professional smile on his face, "There are still some more. I wonder how many boxes Mrs. Pan wants?"
The girl in green looked at him shyly and raised a finger: "One box. My mother especially likes to eat your chestnut cake."
Jiang Quan took a box of chestnut cakes from the shelf and handed it over: "Chenghui, four hundred Wen."
The girl in green paid the money and didn't carry the box. She just walked around the shop and glanced at the counting room from time to time.
Jiang Cheng was sitting in the accounting room, planning to settle accounts, and had no idea that someone was spying on him.
Ying Bao saw the truth, so she deliberately said to her second cousin: "Second brother, my first cousin is getting married in a while, how many gifts are you going to give me?"
Jiang Quan opened his eyes wide when he heard this: "Why should I follow the ceremony? Grandma said that people who are not married don't have to follow the ceremony."
