After calculating the approximate size of what she wanted, Yunling took Lao Qi out again.

The two of them drove the carriage straight to the north gate.

When they arrived at the city gate, she asked Lao Qi to park the carriage in a place designed for cows and horses to rest. The two of them walked to the breakfast stall closest to the city gate and sat down, ordering two bowls of Yangchun noodles.

The city gate is particularly lively in the early morning, with vendors coming in and out and pedestrians coming in an endless stream.

While Yunling was eating bland Yangchun noodles, her eyes were firmly fixed on the carriages entering and exiting the city gate and the flatbed vehicles carrying goods.

"Old Qi, why do these guards only check the cars entering the city, but not even look at the cars leaving the city?" she asked.

Lao Qi swallowed the noodles in his mouth, looked at Yunling's expression, and said seriously: "If it is calm, the guards only need to check whether there are anything inappropriate in the people or things entering the city, and the control will be broad. If it is in the city If something happens, these guards will naturally start a strict investigation if they get the trust."

Yunling nodded, "I guess you should check out those unfamiliar faces. If they are acquaintances that you meet every day, you shouldn't be so alert?"

There was hope in her tone.

Lao Qi shook his head, "I hope so."

While the two were talking, they saw Tian Benwang leading the mule slowly towards the city gate. There were several people who looked quite similar to him walking with him, also holding the mules. There were several large buckets placed on the flatbed truck behind him. , all seem to be from the Tian family.

The Tian family and his entourage walked through the city gate in a grand manner, chatting with the guards guarding the city. They seemed to be old acquaintances.

Until they left the city, no guard took action to lift the buckets.

Lao Qi couldn't help but ask: "Where did the eldest lady find the water delivery person?"

The eldest lady usually never leaves the house without taking a step forward, but her actions in the past two days really surprised him again and again.

As far as he knew, the eldest lady didn't know whether there was spring water or not, and she didn't care about it. She would either read a book or be in a daze every day, living like a soulless doll.

But now the eldest lady is completely alive.

Could it be that the soul-song that the old lady mentioned really has miraculous effects?

Yunling took out the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, "I found it at the largest sweet water shop on Xiunan Street. The waiter in the shop helped me connect the line."

"Why would the eldest lady think of going there to ask? There are several households next door to us that have spring water delivered to them. Wouldn't it be better to ask them? As far as I know, there are many with slightly lower prices."

Yunling raised her eyebrows, "The price is not important. No matter what you do, no matter how small it is, if you want to do well in Ruidu, you must have some strength. Delivering spring water to the sweet water shop on Xiunan Street is not a business Xiao, since the Tian family can take over without being squeezed out by other water delivery people, they must have their own connections.

As for where this connection is and where the backer is, I don't need to know. I only know that the Tian family should be the most suitable water delivery person we can find at present, and it is also the best way out that I can think of at the moment. "

Lao Qi didn't speak, he just looked at the high city wall and thought to himself.

After eating the noodles, Yunling took Lao Qi to Wang Ji's carpenter shop.

Wang Ji Carpenter's Shop is indeed as Tian Benwang said, with three large shops connected in a row, and it looks particularly grand. There are piles of all kinds of wooden products inside, and you can buy almost anything you can think of.

Yunling indeed found a water bucket in a corner, which was exactly the same as the Tian family's bucket.

Seeing her looking around without touching anything, the clever clerk on the side stepped forward and said, "Miss, is there anything you like? If not, you might as well tell me your request. We still have a lot of goods in the warehouse that we haven't taken yet. The main reason for coming out is that I can’t put it down.”

"Do you have a barrel lid?"

I thought she wanted something unusual, but unexpectedly it turned out to be the simplest wooden barrel lid. The clerk immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that thing is simple, so I didn't put it in the store. Just tell me what size you need. You can find it immediately from the warehouse at the back."

"I want the color of the wood to be the same as this bucket." Yunling pointed at the bucket and gestured with its size.

"Okay, don't worry, miss. The wood used in these wooden barrels are all purchased from the same forest farm, and they are painted with the same paint that I am used to. As long as there is not too much difference between the old and new barrels, the color will basically look the same."

The guy was also a veteran, and his words were impeccable. After a while, when he came out from the back, he came out holding four or five lids of the same size and color.

Yunling picked two and spent two hundred coins.

The cost of the barrel lid was low, but the profit was high. The clerk sent Yunling away with a smile on his face, sighing that the transaction was really simple and smooth.

Lao Qi walked behind Yunling holding Mugai in his arms, remaining silent the entire time.

After sending Yunling back to the carriage and putting the things in, he finally asked: "Miss, have you considered the third and fourth masters?"

"What are the third and fourth masters?" Yunling didn't react for a moment.

Lao Qi frowned, "Of course they are my two uncles who live far away in Qingzhou and Xingzhou."

"The old man has never returned. I think the young lady is ready to flee the city if things go wrong. But have you ever thought that absconding after being convicted is a serious crime. If the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple pursue them, your two uncles may not only I will lose my fame and my life will be in danger."

Yunling sighed, "My grandfather has never returned. I have no idea, so I can only think about the worst. When that time comes, I can only think about the people in front of me first. It is better to leave one by one than Let people drink it all in one pot."

The original owner's voice is very sweet, and as soon as she opens her mouth, you can tell that she is a kind and gentle girl. But Yunling is not a true ancient lady. Even though she tries to be careful when speaking, her words and tone are not as subtle as Shen Qingdai's, but rather straightforward.

The words are still a bit rough.

But one word woke up the dreamer.

Yes, he has become a mother-in-law after following the old man for many years, but a little girl still doesn’t understand it!

If it really comes to a life-or-death situation, of course one can run away one by one. If they are timid, they will all wait for death.

A series of sparks popped up in his eyes, he threw down the wooden cover and turned around to leave.

After walking a few steps, he came back and said to Yun Ling: "Miss, I also want to buy some things. Will you wait for me in the carriage, or will you go and take a look with me?"

There was even a hint of the elder's expectations for the younger generation in his eyes.

Yunling felt that Lao Qi seemed different.

She jumped off the carriage and said, "I'll go with you."

Unexpectedly, this time lasted for two hours.

Lao Qi took her to visit the four shops in the north gate, bought a bunch of things that Yun Ling couldn't understand, and packed a carriage with bits and pieces, almost not even leaving a place for her to stay.

What surprised Yun Ling even more was yet to come.
