After binding the system, I saved the general's mansion

Jiang Sheng bowed and said calmly

"But has my case come to fruition?"

The yamen runner made a gesture of invitation.

"The military advisor said that Miss Jiang will live in the inner city in the future."

Inner city?

Isn’t that where the soldiers’ families live?

How did she get put there?

The guard seemed to see Jiang Sheng's hesitation.

"Our military advisor admires Miss Jiang very much, so after discussing with our General Zhenbei, we have assigned you to the inner city. Miss Jiang, please come with me."

"Thank you."

Jiang Sheng turned around and said to the Lu family

"Grandpa and grandma, I'm going to the inner city first. I'll come over tomorrow when I'm done packing."

Jiang Sheng followed the yamen runners to the inner city. The inner city was obviously smaller than the outer city and the small outer city.

And looking at the styles of the clothes they wear, they are almost the same as those in the capital.

Unlike the people in the outer city and the small outer city, most of them wear dark-colored coarse linen clothes.

The shops in the inner city look much more refined than those in the outer city.

Yuzhu whispered

"Suddenly I have the illusion that I am in the capital."

However, they are separated by a door, but it seems like two different worlds, indeed a bit disconnected.

The bailiff led Jiang Sheng to a secluded alley in the main street.

"Miss Jiang, this is Beauty Lane, and the second room is your house."

“Is the rent due now?”

On the way here, the bailiff had already told her that because she was not a demoted criminal, Bianjiang City would not provide her with accommodation, and she would have to pay rent if she stayed in the inner city.

"can."

The rent here is quite reasonable. A courtyard house costs only seven taels of silver per month. Jiang Sheng paid two years' rent at once.

The guard handed her the key.

"Miss Jiang, this is the lock and key that the county government has uniformly issued. I suggest you get a new one."

"Thank you for the reminder, Officer. I also want to ask, how can I get a pass?"

"Go to the county government and explain the reason. Pay a certain amount of money and you can get the pass. The pass has a time limit. One day, three days, seven days, one month. The longer the time, the more money it costs."

"Thank you."

After the bailiff left, Yingqiu went to buy a padlock, and Jiang Sheng brought Nanzhu and the others into the yard.

Nanzhu and Yuzhu looked around the house.

"Miss, although this house is a little small, it is quite neat and tidy, not too bad, and it has everything it should have.

In addition to the rooms for us, there are still a few bedrooms available. This inner city is really different from the outer city."

When I think about the house that the lady and her family were allocated, this one can be considered a mansion.

After Yingyue read it, she whispered

"Miss, there are kangs everywhere here. Let's light them up later so that we can have a good sleep at night."

They got to work right away. They cleaned up the place quickly and took down many daily necessities from the carriage outside. What was not in the carriage was also in Jiang Sheng's backpack.

By dark, the house had been tidied up.

Xufeng lit the kangs in several rooms early.

This house has not been lived in for a long time, so the kang must be cold and damp. After the fire is lit, it will be just right to warm it up.

It’s just that there isn’t much firewood in the backyard.

Nanzhu also saw it

"I just saw some for sale on the street. I'll go buy a few loads later."

Only then did Xufeng dare to add more firewood.

Nanzhu is a thoughtful person and she writes down everything that is missing at home.

Then we can go shopping together.

In the evening, Jiang Sheng made some hand-rolled noodles by himself, which was considered as the start of the fire.

The first night in Bianjiang City passed like this.

next day

Early in the morning, Jiang Sheng went to the county government to apply for a pass.

The county yamen runner asked her in detail why she wanted to go to the small outer city, and also found the household registration that the Lu family had registered when they arrived yesterday. After confirming that it was correct, he asked

"A one-day pass is one tael of silver, a three-day pass is three taels of silver, and so on. There are discounts for a one-month pass."

“What’s the deal with a month’s pass?”

"A one-month pass used to cost thirty taels of silver, but now it only costs twenty-seven taels of silver."

When Jiang Sheng heard this, she realized that she had indeed paid three taels of silver less, so she directly signed up for a month's stay.

At this time Yingqiu suddenly said

"Miss, we have used all our money to buy the house and this thing, and now we don't have much money left."

Jiang Sheng glanced at her and instantly understood what she meant. She sighed.

"Alas, there is nothing we can do about it. We must have a place to live first. We can earn money when we lose it. A living person can die from holding his urine."

Although he spent a lot of money on the road of exile, Jiang Sheng was not short of money. But when he was alone outside, it was better not to show off his wealth.

Her words were rough but true, and the yamen runners beside her also laughed a few times.

After Jiang Sheng paid the money, the yamen runner handed her the pass.

"The gates of the inner city will be closed at 12:00 p.m. If you do not return before then, you will be punished if you stay in the outer city. I hope Miss Jiang will keep this in mind."

"Thank you for your reminder, sir. Now that I am here, I will not trouble you two. Could you please take a look at where Liu Huaishan's family is now?"

The man looked carefully and said

"Liu Huaishan's family is now in the outer city. When you get there, tell the yamen runners their names and they will take you to find them."

After expressing his gratitude, Jiang Sheng planned to take Nanzhu and the others to the small outer city.

After walking a few steps, she unexpectedly ran into someone.

Someone she never expected.

"Ruan Baizhi!"

Ruan Baizhi looked a lot thinner and darker than before, but she looked full of energy now. After leaving the cage in the capital, she seemed to have been reborn.

Ruan Baizhi looked at them

"Jiang Sheng! Why are you here?"

Ruan Baizhi has been in Bianjiang City for the past few months and has not returned to the capital, so she was completely unaware of the misfortune that befell the Lu family.

Jiang Sheng told her about the matter, and Ruan Baizhi sighed.

"Now that I think about it, we two really share the same disease."

Thinking of his grandparents, Jiang Sheng asked

"Bai Zhi, you've been here for quite some time. Have you ever visited my grandparents?"

Ruan Baizhi sighed and then said

"Sanqi and your grandfather are now practicing medicine in the outer city. They are easy to find. You can go there when you have time."

After saying that, he left, making the excuse that he was feeling uncomfortable.

Yuzhu is quite puzzled

"Miss, what happened to Miss Ruan?"

Jiang Sheng shook his head

"I don't know either, but I think it has something to do with my brother."

They went to the Lu family's house yesterday, and people had already started working there.

Jiang Sheng didn't expect that they were so fast.

There were many people working here, but she didn't see any members of the Lu family.

One of them saw her standing there looking around and said:

"But Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Sheng turned around and looked at her, asking in surprise

"you know me?"

The man smiled innocently.

"Last night, the news spread all over Bianjiang City that a young lady from the Lu family who had just arrived and had obtained a divorce certificate also came with them, so I made my guess."
