One of the lively places in a city can always be found near the city gate.
There are usually a variety of vendors and special people gathered, almost all of whom serve people who are preparing to enter the city.
There is a queue to enter the city, and the queue is sometimes very long.
As a result, water sellers and food sellers came into being.
Isn't everyone qualified to enter the city?
As a result, the person who issued the certificate and passed the joint came out.
Brokers who look like they have nothing to do, but are actually sharp-eyed and constantly looking for opportunities, have their place.
If you want to know which local restaurants, brothels, brothels, scenic spots and scenic spots are good, then you have to find a local tour guide.
Well, just go find those helpers who are gathered together in twos and threes and look respectable.
When foreigners arrive for the first time, they should always find ways to learn more about the local customs and customs.
It's okay if I don't want to deal with people and I show my timidity.
There is a bookstall.
The bookstall next to the city gate mainly sells books with local characteristics such as travel notes and anecdotes.
Books such as anecdotes are very expensive.
Although they can be sold, most people rent them to read.
Ah Shuang got off the carriage, and after being dazzled for a while, he quickly found the bookstall, and couldn't help but admire the girl secretly.
Lao Zhou held a handful of copper coins and went over to inquire about the news from a few helpers.
Xia Xiaodong was not in a hurry to enter the city.
He asked Lao Zhou to drive the carriage to a more remote place and stop.
After buying some food, he took a rest first and ate Suzhou's special pancake wrap, a snack similar to pancake fruit. , while studying the Suzhou map.
The so-called Suzhou Map is similar to a travel diary with a map, except that the map is quite simple and important road signs are missing in many places.
"Hey, Suzhou is actually rich in lime."
Xia Xiaodong muttered to himself after seeing the introduction at the beginning.
Lime has many uses and is cheap, so it is naturally a good thing.
But now was not the time to study lime.
Xia Xiaodong quickly turned to the back and had a general understanding of Suzhou's geographical location and the configuration of official positions in the state government.
The guard guarding the gate rang a copper bell, clanging.
"There are still two quarters of an hour until the city gates are closed.
Hurry up if you want to enter the city."
The bells were accompanied by the impatient shouts of the soldiers.
With the sound of the bell, the rhythm outside the door suddenly accelerated.
The hawkers shouted one after another about discounts, sales, and low prices, trying to take advantage of the last opportunity to sell all the few things they had left.
Xia Xiaodong put away the book without feeling satisfied and asked Lao Zhou to drive the carriage and take out the documents for inspection.
Getting in went smoothly, but it was just a routine inspection.
After Lao Zhou skillfully stuffed two cents of silver into the door, he just did it perfunctorily.
The sky got dark at an unexpected speed, and when we arrived at the inn, it was already completely dark.
Fortunately, that inn was just as the gangster said.
Although the price was a bit expensive, it was very clean.
The shopkeeper who came to greet me was polite and the waiter who was busy running around was very attentive and made me feel very comfortable.
On the second day after settling in, Xia Bashan came, alone.
As his name suggests, Xia Bashan is tall and strong, with a certain air of strength that can conquer mountains and rivers.
He has two unibrows and a pair of cold eyes with the scrutiny of a superior.
Of course, the old Zhou family was so scared that they immediately hid.
It was after Xia Xiaodong nodded. "" Xia Xiaodong didn't know how to treat this cheap dad with etiquette, even though he had asked Lao Zhou to deliver a letter to find him.
"You and your mother are somewhat similar."

Xia Bashan looked at Xia Xiaodong intently for a long time, and his eyes gradually softened.
Look alike, it is said that beauties always have a certain resemblance.
"Your mother also has a mole at the corner of her mouth."
Xia Bashan stared at Xia Xiaodong's chin: "But her mole is here."
As he spoke, Xia Bashan lightly tapped the left corner of his mouth.
"When you were young, your mother was very worried when she saw your mole.
It is said that girls with beauty moles are beautiful but not blessed, just like her."
Xia Bashan seemed to recall the past. a certain scene.
Xia Xiaodong blinked and thanked God, thanked the Lord, and thanked the Virgin Mary.
Fortunately, this mole sounds like a good relationship between parents.
Why did his eldest daughter be left in a Taoist temple and ignored after his wife died?
Ask?
The answer comes immediately.
"How have you been in Xian Yiguan these years?
Have you received the things that your father sends you every year?
Is it really good for your health to practice with the real people?"
Xia Bashan asked several questions in one go, but he didn't wait for the answer.
Then a more important question came to mind: "Why did you suddenly come back by yourself?
I felt strange all the way here."
Damn it, Guanzhu Yu didn't tell the truth completely.
It seemed that she should have laughed at all the things sent by the Xia family.
Xia Xiaodong took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the tears that didn't exist yet and then said, "Dad, my daughter has been cheated."
Once the word "daddy" is spoken, it is not as difficult as imagined.
Seeing the drastic change in Xia Bashan's expression, Xia Xiaodong quickly began to tell the story of going home before he thought about the fork in the road.
It's basically just an adaptation of facts.
He just concealed the fact that he had already seen through the scammer's tricks until someone pretended to be a member of the Xia family came to talk about it.
Later, when he was able to escape, it was said that he met Feng Shiqian by chance and got help.
In this case, it was reasonable to follow Feng Shiqian and the escort team all the way.
As for Lao Zhou's family, of course they were given by Feng Shiqian.
Anyway, as Xia Bashan, he would not go to confront Mr.
Shangshu.
"After my daughter entered the city, she felt that it was not appropriate to go home rashly."
Xia Xiaodong lowered his head and said, "After all, my daughter was young and ignorant, and she was deceived by swindlers, which brought shame to the family.
Therefore, I invited my father to come. , see what dad means."
"Huh" didn't seem to hear what he was most worried about.
Xia Bashan let out a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly: "You are right, Wan'er.
You are young and don't know the importance.
Although you have the help of Mr.
Feng, But the story of being deceived is hard to tell.
If it were spread outside, it might be too bad to tell the truth."
Wan'er and Xia Xiaodong felt a little headache.
Could it be that this was the eldest daughter of the Xia family?
Although it sounded nice, she was not used to it.
"Well, when my daughter was in Xianyiguan, everyone called me Xiaodong."
Xia Xiaodong tried to fight for the naming rights for himself.

Humph, Master Yu, you can hide it, but can’t I increase it?
"Xiaodong."
Having achieved his goal so easily, Xia Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and then quickly changed the subject, fearing that his father would change his mind.
"Then under what name can my daughter go home?"
Xia Bashan touched his chin.
"Of course it was your father who sent someone to bring you back
