The woman answered in the affirmative without hesitation.
"Of course!
The Gao family is the most powerful family in Fu'an County.
Not only are they thriving, but it is said that the youngest son of their patriarch passed the Juren examination last year.
As long as he wins the Jinshi examination in the autumn of this year, he will be able to enter the court and become an official. "
In the eyes of ordinary people, anyone who can become an official is extremely powerful.
Even if it is just a seventh-rank sesame official, in their eyes, he is like a master of heaven, which is beyond reach.
Jin Linger asked.
"Is the youngest son of the head of the Gao family named Gao Changming?"
The woman thought about it carefully before saying.
"It seems to be the name.
I only heard it mentioned once, so I don't remember it clearly.
Little girl, what are you doing so clearly
Do you know someone from the Gao family? "
Hua Manman and Li Ji also looked at Jin Ling'er.
Before Jin Ling'er could speak, Jin Sinian blurted out.
"Gao Changming is my future brother-in-law!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
Jin Ling'er hurriedly covered her younger brother's mouth and said something at the same time.
"He likes to talk nonsense when he is young, so don't take it to heart."
After she finished speaking, she took her brother and walked away quickly.
Hua Manman asked the woman some more information about the situation in the city, and after confirming that there was no more useful information to ask, she left with Li Ji.
They walked to Jinling'er siblings.
At this moment, Jin Sinian was drooping his head, looking listless, it seemed that he had been reprimanded by his sister.
Jin Ling'er tugged at the hem of her clothes rather uneasily.
She didn't dare to look into the eyes of Li Ergou and his wife, she seemed very guilty.
Hua Manman considerately did not ask about Gao Changming, but discussed about the capital.
"How are you going to get into the city?"
Jin Ling'er hesitated for a while, but finally said the truth.
"I have a token here, which was given by the head of the Gao family. We should be able to enter the city with it."
After speaking, she took out a small purse from her arms.
She opened the purse and carefully poured out a concentric lock from it.
The concentric lock is made of silver, and the workmanship is very delicate. One can tell at a glance that it is not an object that ordinary people can afford.
Jin Ling'er pointed to the back of the concentric lock and said.
"The emblem of the Gao family is engraved here. Anyone from the Gao family must know it."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Ergou and his wife nervously, for fear that they would ask about the origin of this token.
Hua Manman didn't intend to ask the bottom line at all.
she said happily.
"That's great, can you take us into the city by the way? We will definitely repay you when we have the opportunity in the future!"
Jin Ling'er hurriedly waved her hand.
"No need to repay, you have helped us a lot along the way.
If it weren't for your help in hunting, our siblings would have starved to death on the road.
It's our pleasure to help you now, let's go together. "
Seeing that the other party did not intend to ask about the origin of the token, Jin Ling'er was greatly relieved.
It's not that she refuses to tell the truth, it's that this matter is related to the life direction of her and her younger brother, she can't talk nonsense, lest it won't end in the future.
Now the city gate is still closed, they can't find anyone from the Gao family, so they can only wait patiently.
This wait is most of the day.
The next morning, it was the porridge giving day every other day.
The number of refugees gathered outside the city increased.
Under the eyes of everyone, the city gate slowly opened.
The first to come out were officers and soldiers holding spears.
They drove away the refugees ferociously, and they didn't stop until they drove all the refugees away a relatively long distance.
Only then did people from the Gao, Deng, and Cao families appear.
They took pots and pans and food and entered the grass shed.
The refugees who originally lived in thatched huts were driven away by the officers and soldiers long ago.
Soon bursts of fragrance wafted from the grass shed.
When the refugees smelled the fragrance, they were all so greedy that their mouths drool and their eyes glowed green.
If it weren't for the officers and soldiers holding spears waiting in front of them, those refugees would have rushed to grab food.
Under the persecution of the officers and soldiers, the refugees lined up like a long queue.
Hua Manman and his party were also mixed in the team.
Their luck is relatively good, at the front end of the team.
When it was the turn of Hua Manman and the four of them, the person in charge of delivering the porridge said with a frown.
"Why don't you have bowls? We only serve porridge here, not bowls and chopsticks."
Hua Manman said with a smile: "We are not here to get the porridge, we are here to find someone. Are you from the Gao family?"
The man nodded: "Yes."
Hua Manman immediately pushed Jin Ling'er behind her to the front.
Jin Ling'er took out the concentric lock from her bosom, and said nervously.
"My father has some friendship with the patriarch of your Gao family, this is a token from your patriarch to my father.
Now my house has been hit by floods, and we are the only two siblings left in the house, who came here to seek refuge.
Could you please help pass the word on? "
The man took the concentric lock and took a look, confirming that the pattern engraved on it was indeed the family emblem of the Gao family.
He immediately returned the concentric lock to Jin Ling'er with both hands, and then sent someone to invite the steward over.
The steward of the Gao family looked at the concentric lock carefully again, and confirmed that it really belonged to the Gao family.
But he didn't express his opinion hastily, but looked Jin Ling'er up and down, and said tentatively.
"With just such a token, there may be no way to determine your identity.
After all, this thing may have been stolen by someone.
Are there any other tokens? "
Jin Ling'er hesitated again and again before speaking truthfully.
"I also have a marriage letter here, which was written by the head of the Gao family. If you don't believe me, I can show it to you in public."
When the steward of the Gao family heard this, his face immediately changed.
He hurriedly returned the concentric lock and said, "No need, I'll take you into the city right away."
As far as he knew, the young master in the family did have a baby relative. It was a marriage contract that the master made with a classmate and friend after he was drunk when he was studying abroad when he was young.
After so many years, everyone thought that no one remembered this marriage.
Now that the young master is promising again, the master and his wife are counting on him to be outstanding, and plan to tell him a better marriage.
Unexpectedly, at this time, someone came to the door with a marriage letter and token.
How amazing is this? !
The steward of the Gao family didn't dare to make a big deal out of it, so he hurriedly explained a few words to the servants, and brought Jin Ling'er and his party into the city.
The scene inside the city is the difference between heaven and hell.
The impact of the flood is hardly visible in the city. The shops on the street are still open, the peddlers are hawking in the streets, and the children are running and playing back and forth. It is a lively scene of market life.
When passing by the medical hall, Hua Manman grabbed Li Ji's sleeve and asked while blinking.
"Brother Ergou, let's go in and find a doctor to treat your injury?"
Li Ji asked back: "Are you rich?"
Hua Manman said sadly: "No."
Their trouser pockets are now cleaner than their faces.
Li Ji: "Why see a doctor if you don't have money?"
The flowers are long and silent.
They don't even have a bowl of rice now, let alone a consultation fee.
…
During the new book period, everyone needs to vote for it, good morning~
Hua Manman suggested: How about selling your hue to make money
Li Ji was very surprised, he didn't expect this woman to be able to do this for him.
He was very moved, and was about to persuade her not to be like this, when he heard the little bastard continue to say—
Brother Ergou, you look so good-looking, you must be able to sell for a lot of money!
