The guard guarding the gate weighed the money bag and was probably not satisfied.

After circling the Duan family's carriage, he suddenly glanced at He Feng's carriage at the back, leaned over and asked, "Is this your carriage too?"

Duan Mingqing nodded in agreement, "He is a relative of my family!"

"These carriages are all of different sizes, are you kidding me? Are you really from the same family?"

"If you don't give up the capital, who knows where you got this road from?" the guard yelled loudly, his eyes rolling around wildly.

How could Duan Mingqing not understand what this officer meant?

It was just because they were ordinary people who happened to be carrying road guides and did not have to pay city fees. They had less money and no money to make, so they started to oppress them.

The bag contained five taels of silver, which was already the maximum amount the family could give.

"Lord! This road is marked with black and white writing and an official seal. How could it be fake?" Duan Ming came forward and said angrily.

The officer was not happy after hearing Duan Mingjing's words. He immediately glared and tore off the road guide in his hand.

"If I say it's fake, it's fake!"

The documents were scattered in the hands of the officer, turning into pieces and scattered on the muddy ground.

Duan Mingjing's face turned red with anger. How could anyone dare to do such evil in broad daylight?

Chen Shu also followed the Duan brothers. Seeing that Duan Mingjing seemed to be pointing at the guard and scolding him, he quickly stopped him.

"Second Master Duan, don't worry." Chen Shu comforted him softly.

The guard looked at Chen Shu sideways and saw that he was a mature and sensible man, so he should know what he was thinking.

"Sir, you said documents don't count? Does this count?" Chen Shu said and took out a token from his sleeve.

The officer's eyes widened immediately, his breathing stagnated, his legs trembled and he knelt down, kowtowing fiercely, "Sir, please have mercy, sir, have mercy! I am a young man who has eyesight but cannot see the mountain!"

The officer at the gate of the city knelt on the ground with a cheer, and the carriage following He Feng, a merchant, also knelt down.

"Master, can we enter the city?" Chen Shu said with a smile on his face.

"Sir... you can live your life however you want..." The officer kowtowed and mumbled, biting his tongue in a hurry and bleeding all over his mouth.

"Master Duan, let's go, let's go! We can enter the city!" Chen Shu said with a smile.

Although Duan Mingjing didn't know the purpose of Chen Shuliang's brand, he already knew in his heart that this group of people had an extraordinary background. Duan Mingchen felt that he had been a second-generation official, so he was not very surprised.

It's just a pity that some of the road guides fell into the mud and were torn to pieces. I don't know if they can be used after being picked up and glued.

Chen Shu noticed Duan Mingjing's gaze and stepped forward to comfort him, "Second Master Duan, it's okay. We'll find a way to get a road lead after we get into the city."

"Can you really make it happen?"

"Of course!" Chen Shu said confidently.

Duan Mingjing was relieved.

It's just that the other members of the Duan family looked at Chen Shu and others with much more complicated eyes.

Chen Shu smiled and looked over and held his hands, as always.

The master was fully prepared when he went out. The group of them wanted to stay behind the Duan family and enter the city quietly, but who could have expected that they would encounter this.

Showing your identity badge is also a helpless move.

After the group entered the city, Chen Shu first returned to his carriage, then went to the side of the Duan's carriage to discuss with Qiao Lan.

"Old Madam! I had some trouble at the city gate earlier. Someone will definitely come here soon. I'm afraid that those people will disturb the old lady's purity. It's getting late today, why don't the old lady live in the same courtyard with us?

! This is more convenient." Chen Shu said as he stood beside the carriage with kind eyes.

Qiao Lan was still frightened by what happened just now. She was so worried in the car that she was thinking about pulling some tiger skin from the Qiao family and saying that she was a descendant of a marquis, not a commoner.

Whoever thought it was was easily resolved by Chen Shu.

The thigh the system asked her to hug was really the right one!

"Isn't this going to cause Mr. He trouble?" Qiao Lan couldn't help but say.

Chen Shu: "Master said, the old lady has been helping us all the time we have been together! Now we just live in the same courtyard, how can it be considered troublesome?"

"I'm afraid that those people will come later and disturb the tranquility of the old lady's family."

Qiao Lan looked at the car full of children and thought about the world. It would be foolish not to hug them if they have big legs.

He readily agreed.

The car stopped in place for a while, then Chen Shu came forward and led a group of people into a spacious house.

After getting off the bus, the sons of the Duan family took off the reins and fed the horses as usual. Just when they were hesitating whether to tie the horses outside the door or in the yard, Mr. He sent someone over and said that there was a stable in the yard where the horses could be kept.

Brother Duan Mingjing led the horses over and found that not only the stables, but also the mangers and buckets were full, so they didn't need to worry about them at all.

"Does this horse food cost money?" Duan Mingjing glanced at the manger and asked.

In addition to hay, there are beans in the manger, which don't look cheap.

Their horses have been eating wheat bran and weeds these days, or the weeds that the brothers cut back from the roadside.

"The gentlemen are joking. Although buying horse food requires money, our young master has already told us that these gentlemen only regard this place as their own home. How can horses eat their own grass and need money?" the boy explained.

"Master, hand over the reins to the younger one. The younger one will take care of it!"

Duan Mingjing felt relieved when he heard that the money was not required. He was also worried that his horse would be charged a sky-high price for food after it ate a mouthful of grain. He Anxin handed the reins to a few people and swaggered back to the yard.

The wife of the Duan family on the other side, under the guidance of the servant, looked around the house and found that the house was fully equipped with bedding, tea sets, and even the kitchen was filled with food, including chicken, duck, and fish.

She was so frightened that she quickly came to Qiao Lan and told her everything.

"Mom, the kitchen is full of food, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, chicken and duck." Wang said dutifully.

Duan Mingjing also strode into the courtyard and said happily, "Mom, Mr. He is so considerate. There is even a stable in the backyard, and the horse food provided is beans."

Qiao Lan sat in the room and saw clearly the expressions on the faces of everyone in the Duan family. They were surprised, worried, happy, and scared. They all came to her to make decisions!

Qiao Lan herself is even more worried!

She was only in her twenties, very young, she had never given birth to a child, she was a mother for the first time, and she had never seen such a thoughtful and considerate stranger.

Qiao Lan was curious: "Go and ask Manager Chen!"

Following the old lady's words, everyone in the Duan family found the backbone and immediately started taking action.

Mr. He and others were in the yard nearby. Chen Shu learned about the Duan family's purpose and took the Duan family's sons back to the yard to look for Qiao Lan.

Chen Shu respectfully walked up to Qiao Lan and said, "Old madam, our master is not in good health. I have to trouble you, old madam, to go over and talk."

Qiao Lan nodded in agreement, her doubts still lingering in her heart.

What is so important about her as an old lady?
