"It's her!" Grandma Sangu clapped her hands and said, "I heard about it from the Tian family, so I can't be wrong! I heard that their family is one of the largest in Shuangliu County! They are related to you anyway, If you open your mouth, you will most likely agree!"

"But, after all, we haven't been in touch for several years, and we don't remember what that cousin Fang Qing looks like, so we rashly borrow money from her, don't we..." Lian Ze hesitated.

Lian Fangzhou subconsciously remembered the matter of Grandma Liu bringing Ban'er into Jia's mansion. Could it be that he wants to do the same

After thinking about it, the temptation to grow cotton was too great after all. She gritted her teeth and said, "Since it's not too late, I'll go with Aze tomorrow, and you all stay at home with grandma Sangu!" Lian Fangzhou took a look two small ones.

"I'll go too!" A Jian, who hadn't said anything, said, "It's not a short distance, I'll go with you!"

Everyone recalled what happened on the way back from the day they first met A Jian. Even Fang Zhou didn't refuse, so he smiled and said, "Okay! The three of us will go together!"

After a pause, Lian Fangzhou said again: "Over there for burning charcoal, I'll tell Aunt Zhang later!"

Several people discussed for a while, and Lian Fangzhou hurriedly went to Aunt Zhang's house to clarify the matter, and when she came back, she asked if the charcoal was sent to the uncle and aunt? Hearing from Lian Ze that he has sent it over, that's all.

There was nothing to say all night.

Early the next morning, Lian Fangzhou, A Jian, and Lian Ze went out. No one in the village had a carriage, so the three had no choice but to rent a carriage in the county town.

When we arrived in the county town, the sun had just risen, and the morning fog was chilly.

The three of them ordered a bowl of noodle soup each from a stall on the side of the road, and after finishing eating, they went to a carriage and horse dealer to pick up a carriage.

After negotiating the price quickly, we set off for Shuangliu County.

Lian Fangzhou was actually a little apprehensive. After all, the so-called cousin had no impression at all. She is now rich and powerful. If she said she borrowed money, she would definitely repay it in the future, but she might not believe it! In the eyes of others, he is an autumn wind!

If it wasn't for the rare opportunity, Lian Fangzhou would not be able to let go of this face anyway.

"By the way," Lian Fangzhou asked suddenly: "I don't know how our cousin's family was before she left the court? Should..."

Lian Ze shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about the specifics. Anyway, it's definitely not a rich family."

Lian Fangzhou remained silent, thinking to himself, how could the Su family be willing to hire her as their only child? This thing is too strange. Could this cousin be just a concubine? If so, it will be difficult!

Lian Fangzhou was just muttering in his heart, and Lian Ze had already asked: "Sister, you said that the third aunt said that the Su family is so rich, so why did she marry Cousin Fang as her daughter-in-law? Could it be that the third aunt is lying?"

The two brothers and sisters had been discussing for a long time, but they couldn't come to a reason, but they became more and more confused.

In the end, Ah Jian couldn't help laughing and said: "What's there to guess? Anyway, it's already halfway there, won't you know when we get there? Besides, our purpose is to borrow money, how did they get married? What does it matter?"

What he said made even Fangzhou and Lianze laugh.

"You're right, we'll know when we get there!" Lian Fangzhou smiled, and the three of them chatted about other homely gossip, but they weren't lonely.

Suddenly, the carriage paused heavily and stopped.

The carriage shook violently, Lian Fangzhou raised the curtain and looked out, there were green hills on both sides, and it was still halfway!

"What's the matter?" she asked the coachman.

The coachman had already jumped out of the carriage to look at the wheels, spread his hands and said, "The carriage is broken, girl, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to get out!"

"How could this happen!" Lian Fangzhou frowned and got out of the car.

Lian Ze and A Jian also followed.

"Is it bad? Can it be fixed?" Lian Ze asked.

"Look at what my brother said!" The coachman laughed and said, "It can be repaired, but how can you repair it if you don't have access to the village or the back of the shop! Hey, I'm really unlucky. The hard-earned money is not enough to repair the car, and my horse, after running such a long distance, I will have to rest for several days back, if I had known it, I would not have come... "

Lian Fangzhou heard that the coachman complained and complained, but every word was not separated from a word of money, so he could hear something different, so he simply stood aside and watched what he wanted.

Lian Ze was really worried, seeing the worried expression on the broken carriage.

Ah Jian looked at the carriage carefully for a moment, then said lightly: "There is nothing wrong with your carriage at all, why is it broken?"

The driver was stunned for a moment, and said in a bad mood: "Why is it not broken? Didn't you feel the big noise in the car just now? I don't know about my own car? If it's good, can I stop it? What do you know? ,Freeze said!"

"That's it," Ah Jian said, "Go and sit in the carriage, and I'll drive."

"No!" The coachman said without thinking, "This is my carriage, and the horse is also mine. How do I know if you are going to toss my horse and cart on purpose?"

A Jian wanted to say more, but Lian Fangzhou tugged his sleeve lightly, looked at the coachman with fixed eyes, and asked, "Just tell me what you want?"

Lian Fangzhou's question was straightforward, and although the coachman had a small heart in his heart, he couldn't help her asking, and immediately glared at her a little annoyed and shouted: "What do you mean?"

"I should ask you that," Lian Fangzhou said with a smile, "give me a quick word! Are you going to catch this car or not?"

Although the coachman felt ashamed, he had no choice but to bear it - who told him to have thoughts in the first place

He didn't give a happy word, but said a lot of long-winded words, to the effect that the carriage was broken, and if he insisted on moving on, it would be fine, but it would cause relatively great damage to the carriage, and the horse would be even more tired. He will also work harder, so the price can't be what was previously agreed. Three words, the price has to be raised!

A Jian and Lian Ze were dumbfounded, and Lian Fangzhou laughed angrily.

The most irritating thing was his tone of voice. On the contrary, he drove the car reluctantly. Even Fangzhou and the others had to thank him and acknowledge his kindness even after they raised the price.

It would be fine if his intentions were a little higher. Seeing that Lian Fangzhou was in a hurry, the fly swallowed it with disgust, but the originally agreed four coins turned into two, two and four coins. Everyone is annoyed.

"Don't deceive people too much! How can you do this for the price you agreed on! You are too dishonest!" Lian Ze said angrily.

"Why am I not honest?" the coachman said, "Didn't I explain the reason for the extra money clearly just now? Wherever I say it, I'm justified! I can't get the extra two taels of silver, and it's barely enough to repair it." It's just a car!"

As for what Ah Jian said just now that the carriage was not broken, the coachman automatically ignored it.

Thank you Goddess Meimi for your reward! Ah Jian has come out, let me keep my word, (^o^)/~
