Chapter 40 Parking Fees

Why won't you process it?

"Because Louqu State has a law that stipulates that the child takes the surname of the person listed as the head of household in official documents."

Qi Yunran was about to vomit blood: "So when you were at home, you promised to register Xiao Jingxuan under my name?"

Pei Junyuan then took out the document and pointed to the page where Xiao Jingxuan was registered.

It reads that his relationship with Pei Yuanjun is father and son, and his relationship with Qi Yunran is mother and son!

Then, before Qi Yunran could explode, Pei Yuanjun tucked the official documents into his chest.

"See? The mother-child relationship is registered under your name."

"Damn Pei Yuanjun!"

Pei Yuanjun immediately picked up little Jingxuan and ran, saying, "My wife, I was wrong!"

"Stop right there!" Qi Yunran chased after her relentlessly!
Xiao Jingxuan hugged Pei Yuanjun's neck and chuckled.

She clearly possessed internal energy, but no matter how fast she sped up, she couldn't catch up with Pei Yuanjun.

By the time she caught up, they had already covered most of the county town, detouring from the county government office in the east to the post station in the west where they had parked their carriage.

When Qi Yunran caught up with him, Pei Yuanjun handed her the water in his hand, and then took out some osmanthus cake for her: "Drink some water first, my lady, and then eat something before we head back, otherwise it will be dark by the time we get back."

After saying that, he put Xiao Jingxuan down from his arms and told him to eat something and drink some water.

They went to retrieve the carriage and paid a parking fee of one tael of silver.

Pei Yuanjun drove the carriage out!

Qi Yunran clicked her tongue in amazement: "This parking fee is too expensive!"

Pei Yuanjun drove the carriage to Qi Yunran: "Get in!"

As Qi Yunran carried Xiao Jingxuan into the carriage, she was still marveling that one tael of silver was enough for her and Xiao Jingxuan to eat a lot of delicious food.

Pei Yuanjun turned around and glanced at Qi Yunran's money-grubbing appearance, finding it incredibly endearing.

They're willing to spend several taels of silver on clothes for Xiao Jingxuan, but they're reluctant to spend one tael of silver on parking fees.
"Actually, it's not expensive!"

"Not expensive at all? What an ignorant official from the capital!" Qi Yunran sneered. Pei Yuanjun glanced at Qi Yunran expressionlessly: "Once the carriage is parked, someone will wash away all the dust that the carriage and horses have accumulated along the way, and will also feed the horses hay and water!"

The carriage was washed by hand, and the horses were also brushed by hired hands! Besides the labor costs, there were also expenses for fodder and water.

Qi Yunran immediately realized: "Hearing you say that, it's actually quite worth it."

The carriage slowly drove away, and Pei Yuanjun said again, "The post stations all have services to feed and water the horses. The prices vary! The prices here are quite fair, and the carriage has been washed very clean, looking like new."

"If you go to the capital, the same service will cost ten times more, and they might not even get you a cleaner wash."

"So it seems that our small towns are really good! The people here are so kind and honest!"

Pei Yuanjun pursed his lips and did not answer.

We chatted and talked along the way, and before we knew it, we had arrived in town; it was already afternoon.

Originally, Pei Yuanjun had planned to take Xiao Jingxuan to see his former teacher, who was also his master.

Seeing that it was getting late, they decided to bring him again the next day.

Qi Yunran bought writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones in town for Xiao Jingxuan!

Then I bought two more pounds of meat to make dumplings.

I bought mushrooms and scallions, and also a ready-made roast duck.

We're celebrating that Xiao Jingxuan has a registered household and is no longer an unregistered resident.

In addition, if the teacher accepts the money tomorrow, he will only be able to return once every seven days, so Qi Yunran bought more.

These are all foods that Xiao Jingxuan usually likes to eat.

After purchasing the carriage, Pei Yuanjun returned it.

When they arrived at the place where the oxcarts were parked in town, they were surprised to find that Uncle Liu, who drove the oxcart, was still there.

He even invited Qi Yunran and the others to get into the car.
